20、son, Adam, called from the front door. “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next-door neighbors 11-year-old dog, was over again. “Go away!” I shouted. Brandys owner had died about a month earlier. The womans family had emptied the house and

21、stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind. For weeks, shed been wandering around the neighborhood. It wasnt that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didnt think about them very much. I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one. B

22、randy went away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone rang. I went inside to take the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husba

23、nd. Police searched the neighborhood. Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. “Its coming from the woods.” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, l

24、eaning against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering

25、the time Id driven her away. “Come on, girl.” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. Shed done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it. Shed certainly touched me in a way that no an

26、imal ever had. What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!56.WhatdidthewomandowhenshefirstsawBrandy?A.Shedroveheraway.B.Shegavehersomefood.C.Shetookherhome.D.Shesaidthankyoutoher.57.Howweretheyabletobeawarethatthewomanssonwasnearthecliff?A.Bysearchingtheneighborhood.B.Byhearinghersonscrying.

27、C.Byfollowingadogsfootsteps.D.Byhearingadogbarking.BThousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services

28、, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy(补贴) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport a

29、uthorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by mar

30、ket leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring comp

31、anies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is

32、 uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of Chinas big cities. To be

33、 fair, these companies business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal compan

34、ies and services. Therefore, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it. 58.WhydidtaxidriversinShenyangblockthestreetswiththeirvehicles?A.Becausetheywantedtheauthoritytoincreasetheirdrivingallowances.B.Becausetheywantedtobetaughthowtousethetaxi-hiringapps.C.Becausetheywantedtoappealtopassengersno

37、ion of Engineering and Technology, argued in a lecture. About 59% of engineering companies in the IETs 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten business. “There is nothing as creative as engineering,” Sir John told the reporter. He says science, technology, engineering and mathematicsoften

38、known as “Stem” subjects, are vital for a modern knowledge economy. But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits(招聘) with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces. Delivering this years

39、 Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution, Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their workamong other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession. The lecture, Full Steam Ahead for Growth, advocated a wider adoptionSteam, or science, technology

40、, engineering, arts and maths. Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation(创新), important to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness, he argued. “Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field,” sai

41、d Sir John. Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding, he told the reporter. In particular he mentioned Cranfield Universitys Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial Colleges work with the Royal College of Art. The two sets of pe

42、ople could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products, he said. “Aesthetics(美学) is part of it,” he told the reporter, adding that Apples iPod was not the first digital media player, nor the only one that workedbut it came to dominat

43、e the market “because it was nice to have”.Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicantsthe key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences. But an emphasis on creative skills would help “broaden the pool and attract

44、 more people in”. 61. According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _.A. skill shortages could threaten business B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expectedC. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK.D. the UK needs more graduates in science, technology, engineering and

45、 mathematics62. According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth, _.A. engineers should cooperate with arts majorsB. accepting the arts could attract more people into engineeringC. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work D. engineering and technology is as divers

46、e and creative as before63. By giving the example of Apples iPod, Sir John intends to _.A. stress the importance of artsB. stress the importance of marketingC. stress the importance of communicationD. stress the importance of science and technology64. What is the passage mainly about?A. Lack of crea

47、tivity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job.B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather thanarts.C. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products.D. Engineering need

48、s to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career.DOn day one of my self-proclaimed(自称的) Month of Gratitude, my five-year-old son woke up “bored” at 5:15 a.m., I spied a speeding ticket in my wifes purse, and our water heater spluttered to its death as I was ge

49、tting into the shower. Ordinarily, I would have started complaining and the day would have been off to an ugly start. But this day was different. How cute my childs dimples (酒窝) are. How fetching my wifes taste for adventure. Only 29 days to go.Just a week earlier, as I struggled with the feeling th

50、at Id been put on this earth to load and unload the dishwasher, Id decided it was time to end my reflexive complaining. But it wasnt simply the little things that were annoying me. All of a sudden, my friends were dealing with bad newscancer diagnoses, divorce, job loss. Shouldnt I be celebrating my

51、 relative good fortune?Id heard about the feel-good benefits of a gratitude attitude. Hoping for tips, I called professor Emmons, who pioneered research on the benefits of positive thinking. Emmons quoted new studies that indicated that even pretending to be thankful raises levels of the chemicals a

52、ssociated with pleasure and contentment. He recommended keeping a log of everything Im grateful for in a given week or month.I followed his suggestions, but my first attempts at keeping a gratitude list were pretty weak: coffee, naps, caffeine in general. As my list grew, I found more uplift: freshl

53、y picked blueberries; the Beatles White Album; that Im not bald.By day three, I was on a tear, thanking every grocery bagger and parent on the playground like Id just won an Oscar and hanging Post-it notes to remind myself of the next days thank-you targets: the mailman, my sons math teacher. But so

54、on, the full-on approach started to burn me out. Researchers call it the Pledge of Allegiance(效忠誓言) effect. “If you overdo gratitude, it loses its meaning or, worse, becomes a chore,” professor Emmons told me when I mentioned my low spirits. Be selective, he advised, and focus on thanking the unsung

55、 heroes in your life.Then professor Emmons suggested a “gratitude visit.” Think of a person who has made a major difference in your life and whom youve never properly thanked. Compose a detailed letter to him or her that expresses your appreciation in concrete terms, then read it aloud, face-to-face

56、.I immediately flashed on Miss Riggi, my eighth-grade English teacher. She was the first one to open my eyes to Hemingway, Faulkner, and other literary giants. To this day, I am guided by her advice (“Never be boring”). I booked plane tickets to my hometown, Scranton, Pennsylvania.Miss Riggi was sho

57、rter than I remember, though unmistakable with her still long, black hair and bright, intelligent eyes. After a slightly awkward hug and small talk, we settled in. I took a deep breath and read.“I want to thank you in person for the impact youve had on my life,” I began. “Nearly 30 years ago, you in

58、troduced my eighth-grade class to the wonders of the written word. Your passion for stories and characters and your enthusiasm for words made me realize there was a world out there that made sense to me.” And whether it was Miss Riggis enormous smile when I finished the letter, or the way she held i

59、t close as we said goodbye, my feeling of peace and joy remained long after I returned home.Since then, I have written several more gratitude letters, and my wife and I both summon our “training” when we feel saddened by life. The unpleasant matters are still there, but appreciation, Ive learned, ha

60、s an echoand its loud enough to drown out the complaints in a low tone of one man emptying the dishwasher.65. The author didnt start complaining when he met with unpleasant experiences because _.A. he thought the day was different from beforeB. it was one of his self-proclaimed day of GratitudeC. hi

61、s son became more cute and his wife more adventurousD. he could manage these little unhappy things in life66. According to the passage, what did Professor Emmons propose to have a gratitude attitude?A. Making oneself appear to be grateful.B. Keeping a detailed dairy.C. Thinking positively in a given

62、 time.D. Recording everything appreciated for a certain time.67. According to the context, “gratitude visit” in Paragraph 6 refers to _.A. visiting someone with a detailed letterB. calling on someone with an appreciated letterC. seeing someone you owe gratitude toD. seeing someone personally68. The

63、authors reunion with his English teacher, Miss Riggi, shows that _.A. the author was desperate to see his teacherB. his teacher had great impact on himC. his teacher still had a deep impression of the authorD. the author wanted to testify the professors proposal69. The last paragraph shows that _.A.

64、 professor Emmons suggestions were effective to the authorB. professor Emmons suggestions were unpractical to the authorC. the author and his wife learn how to show gratitude to othersD. professor Emmons suggestions were considered as unacceptable70. Which of the following can best serve as the titl

65、e of the passage?A. How to pay a gratitude visit.B. How to make matters differently.C. How to be thankful and improve your life.D. How to become an appreciated man.第四部分: 任务型阅读 ( 10*l = l0 ) 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。Eating Comfort Foods May Not Be So C

66、omforting After AllFor many of us, chicken soup can relieve the soul and cheese can erase a bad day. We eat chocolate when we feel depressed or when weve been in the presence of a Dementor. And we eat chocolate ice cream to help us get over a bad breakup.These comfort foods usually arent so good for

67、 our arteries(动脉), but we tend to think they have healing properties that theyre the cure for all our emotional sufferings.But maybe theyre not, saysTraci Mann, a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota. In a recent study, Mann and some colleagues brought in a bad mood in 100 college

68、students by making them watch clips from sad movies. They then fed half the students their favorite comfort food, while the other students ate food they enjoyed, but wouldnt consider comfort food.Once the students had finished eating, the researchers asked the students how they felt. It turns out al

69、l the students felt better, regardless of what they had eaten.That is not what we expected, Mann says. We kept repeating the study, because we didnt believe it.In another experiment, Mann had half the kids eat comfort food, and the other half eat nothing. After a few minutes, both groups felt equall

70、y better. The comfort food had no effect on mood.Theresultsof these experiments appeared in the August issue ofHealth Psychology. People are taking this very hard, Mann says. I guess it removes a very handy justification people have for eating comfort food.Of course, the study has a few significant

71、limitations. For one, it only looked at a particular kind of negative mood induced by watching sad films. Other studies have come to different conclusions. For example,one in 2011, published in the journal Psychological Science,suggested that eating chicken soup may help some feel less lonely.And th

72、e researchers didnt look at the real-life contexts in which people eat comfort foods. Maybe the comfort from comfort food comes from going to a cafe acquiring it, Mann says. The research on the psychological effects of comfort food is fairly inadequate, she notes, so we dont have any definite answer

73、s yet.David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition at Cornell University, says Manns research is in line with what he would have expected. We tend to look for a magic solution to our problems, Levitsky says.The idea that we can feel better by simply consuming certain foods is very appealing, he says, bu

74、t in reality, feeling better has nothing to do with the food itself, and its a very weak psychological effect.The comfort foods we turn to the most are the ones we ate while growing up, or the ones that remind us of celebrations, Levitsky says. We may associate chicken soup with all those times Mom

75、took care of us when were little, and maybe mashed potatoes remind us of joyful Thanksgivings. Its a connection between food and memory beautifully reflected in this scene from the movieRatatouille.We think that eating foods that remind us of home, or of good times, will make us feel better when wer
