He was my mascot of unconditional

34、 love, my loneliness relief and one of the big loves of my life.Many scientific studies have shown that petting a dog and even having one nearby can reduce stress. Peter Wedderburn, a writer and veterinary surgeon, once said “Dogs become a central part of our lives, offering unconditional love, cont

35、inual company and an alternative to loneliness. A dog is the ultimate loving companion.”Its no wonder I miss him. Oscar also gave structure to my day. His soft furry rub was my early morning wakeup call, plus his walks punctuated my day with a stressrelieving wander by the canal bank. Since his deat

36、h, I have found myself lying in bed feeling a little low and unmotivated. Im also spending hours at my desk and not getting out into the light all day.I didnt want my mood to _spiral_downwards,_so I have started a new, gentle morning practice.

38、ols available to me. Finally, I struck the match, which symbolized the “spark of inspiration”. As the fire started to burn, I wrote about someone or something that had inspired me as the flames slowly heated up the boat.Oscar naturally lit up my days and life. Without him，Im having to be more consci

39、ous about how I look after my mental health and mood, but Im now starting to enjoy my new start to the mornings. I still miss my lovely dog, but I always end my morning practice by raising my mug of coffee in gratitude for the privilege of 13 years of love and light that he brought into my life. Lov

42、ual to honor those that had inspired her.D. It symbolized a departure from her downward feelings.CThe British government declared that a “proper piece of work” was being carried out to look into the possibility of linking Scotland to Northern Ireland via a bridge spanning the Irish Sea. At the momen

43、t, the leading candidates for the locations of the route are Portpatrick on the Scottish coast and Larne on the Northern Irish coast.Length aside, there are a number of other significant challenges that such an enormous project would raise. For example, theres the depth of the sea, which at times re

44、aches 300 metres, and the large spans that would be required to let any ships pass under the bridge safely, explained Ian Firth, a structural engineer at the Institution of Civil Engineers.“One solution might be to use floating foundations，” he said. “You have a floating pontoon(水上浮台) held below the

45、 surface of the water. You still have to get down there and drill holes in the rock down below, but youre now just tying it down with some cables. Then the floating platform is held below the wavesyou dont want it at the surface because then youre getting wave action and tidal action. You stand your

46、 bridge structures on those floating platforms. Thats the sort of thing that potentially could be doable.”Even so, such a structure would still leave those travelling across it at the mercy of high winds and heavy rain, even taking into account any weather shielding measures that could be fitted. Ho

47、wever, there may be another solution.“Theres another type of floating structure, a submerged(水下的) floating tunnel. Its not through the rock but under the water，” said Firth. “You attach it down, shall we say 20 metres below the water, so that ships can go happily across the top of it, but the thing

48、is actually floating. If youre in your car, youre driving, in effect, through a tunnel. That is a very interesting, and I think really quite potentially practical solution.”But its early days and there are many factors to consider, such as the ability of the transport links either side of the crossi

49、ng to cope with additional traffic, and the fact that it may be more efficient to upgrade the existing ferry infrastructure, before any kind of design work could begin.“At the moment it is an idea and not much more than that.To begin with, wed need a prefeasibility(可行性) study which looks at what the

50、 options are so that we can actually frame the range of a feasibility study，” said Firth. “After that people like me could go away and turn over what the options are. I believe its possible. But possible and affordable are two different things. Im not trying to put numbers to it, but it is eyewateri

51、ngly expensive, and nothing like it has been attempted before. But were in the business of finding solutions to challenges.We civil structural engineers are good at that kind of thing.”()61. From Paragraphs 1 and 2, engineers may focus efforts on the _ of the bridgetobe.A. cost B. location C. struct

52、ure D. reliability()62. What might be the major drawback to the first solution?A. It is impossible to build a bridge on floating platforms.B. It takes much labor to tie floating platforms with cables.C. Wave and tidal action can easily destroy floating platforms.D. Traffic flow will be subject to se

53、vere weather conditions.()63. What can we learn from Firths words in the last paragraph?A. Bridge construction is more of an assumption than a detailed plan.B. Engineers have reached a consensus on the feasibility of the project.C. They are trying to update the structural design to control costs.D.

54、Previous similar attempts do help them draw up a feasible plan.()64. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Why not float? B. A bridge too far?C. Overlooking the Irish Sea D. Meeting new Scottish friendsDExpectations can be tricky and this is no different in the workplace！A

55、s I listen to some Baby Boomer managers relate their frustrations about working with Generation Y(Gen Y/millennials千禧一代) workers, their two main complaints center on their perceptions of the younger generations work ethic and sense of entitlement. These managers express that Gen Y workers want the h

56、onors of the workplace without putting in the sacrifices to earn them.The Baby Boomer/Generation Y Conflict is a good title that I often use to describe this new millennium divide between Boomers and Gen Y workers.This conflict comes from different life experiences and generational expectations. Can

57、 Baby Boomers and Gen Y just get along？The answer is yes！As managers understand and account for the generational differences，they can move workplace dynamics from frustration and conflict to productivity and mutual understanding.To do so, we have to first understand Boomers and Gen Y.Born between 19

58、43 and 1960，Boomers, grew up in an environment of social unrest where challenging authority was the norm.As noted in Generations at Work, significant events of the Boomer generation include the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War，the women liberation movement and the Cold War. Boomers reflect tha

59、t time in many ways: they tend to think they can change the world and they want to fulfill their own individual goals and potential. They come to the workplace confident, prepared to work hard, and expecting to be rewarded for their efforts.Born between 1980 and 2000，Gen Y workers grew up in an envi

60、ronment of adult attention where monitoring, recognition，and support were the norm. Significant events of their generation include technology, protective parenting, school yard violence and multiculturalism. Gen Y workers reflect this time in many ways：they are the most technically talented generati

61、on and they are the most spoiled generation. Gen Y workers come to the workplace with confidence and a continuing expectation of recognition and support independent of results.With the understanding that Generation Y workers have significantly different life experiences and expectations, Boomer mana

62、gers can adjust their own interaction style and move from frustration and conflict to mutual understanding and productivity.Gen Y workers are used to immediate feedback on how they are doing.It comes from their digital world where information is shared frequently and quickly. Give them ongoing feedb

63、ack. Be sure to balance the feedback：tell them what they did well as well as how they can improve.Many Gen Y workers are used to multiple supportive adults in their lives who spoiled and praised them. They respond better to coaching that focuses on outcomes than a direct management style.Boomer mana

64、gers sometimes make the assumption that Gen Y workers are rude or disrespectful of authority. More often, however, Gen Y workers do not understand normal standards of workplace behavior. For example，Gen Y workers often expect immediate responses from their bosses on whatever they communicate to them

65、. This comes from their life experiences. They have had cell phones at a young age and are masters at communicating through text messages，social media, etc. Further, they are used to calling the adults in their lives and getting immediate attention. They bring these expectations to the workplace.Boo

66、mers are partly responsible for launching some workandlife balance programs for Gen Y workers.These younger generations have seen the negative effects that work has produced on some Boomers and decided that they want some balance in their lives. Many do not want to work like what Boomers have done.

67、Boomer managers can engage Gen Y workers by supporting workplace flexibility and workandlife balance. For these younger generations, workandlife balance is among their top working priorities.Expectations are hard to manage and different generations have different workplace expectations！Boomer and Ge

68、n Y conflict，however，does not have to continue.When Boomer managers understand these differences, they can both adapt their own interaction style and educate others to promote organizational productivity. These generations do not have to continue to collide in the workplace!()65. What can we infer f

69、rom Paragraph 1?A. Gen Y workers always dismiss the honors as useless.B. Boomers complain about the job attitude held by Gen Y.C. Boomers tend to show little respect for Gen Ys entitlement.D. Gen Y workers dont care about Boomers misunderstandings.()66. Paragraphs 3 and 4 are meant to explore _A. th

70、e different attitudes towards accepted social normsB. the reasons for the frustrations and conflicts at workC. the shared beliefs that united the two separate generationsD. the outcomes of different parenting on each generation()67. Which of the following could best describe the character of Boomers

71、?A. Gentle but reserved. B. Stubborn and jealous.C. Strict but generous. D. Ambitious and confident.()68. What do Gen Y workers expect in the workplace?A. Continual appreciation and assistance unaffected by results.B. Good results as well as acknowledgement from bosses.C. Independent advice on how t

72、o gain wide recognition.D. Constant monitoring at work to boost their results.()69. How do Gen Y workers probably want feedback provided?A. Occasionally by post. B. Instantly and carefully weighed.C. Regularly by means of praise. D. Directly and casually informed.()70. Gen Y workers pay special atte

73、ntion to workandlife balance because _A. they are accustomed to the comfort of modern lifeB. their parents have been paying the same attention to itC. they dont want to follow in the footsteps of BoomersD. many sacrifices for honors have been made in the workplace第卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满

Recent figures show that 90% of files transferred over filesharing networks are copyrighted. And its costing t

75、he US economy up to$250 billion a year. At the heart of the matter theres a moral question to consider. Is it fair that someone downloads for free in seconds something that took a team of people months of hard work to create?What are governments doing about online piracy? Some countries have passed

76、tough new laws. The Spanish government has shut down domestic filesharing websites and blocked access to overseasbased sites. Also, governments are going after highprofile pirates. Kim Dotcom, the owner of M, was arrested in New Zealand，who has been accused of piracy because many people were using h

77、is website to swap copyrighted files.Are laws and arrests really the best way? Many people arent so sure. The problem is that films are released at different times around the world. Kim Dotcom says that a teenager in Germany, for example, has to wait six months to see a movie that has already come o

78、ut in the US. So, instead of waiting, they download it illegally. Kim says, “If everybody had access to content at the same time, you wouldnt have a piracy problem.”American company Netflix lets users stream films to their TV. But many complain that Netflixs selection of movies is too small and that

79、 there arent enough new releases. One reason is that studios release films on DVD and then, after a few months, make them available for streaming. But what actually happens is one person buys the DVD, they upload it to a filesharing site and everyone else downloads it for free.American law student S

80、rikant believes that if movie studios and record companies want to beat the pirates, they need to make it just as simple and quick to get content legally. “I think people would pay for content if its reasonably priced and its available when they want it，” he adds.This is already happening with music

81、. Spotify is a program that lets you stream music to your computer for just 5 per month. And since it was launched in Sweden in 2009, online music piracy in Sweden has dropped by 25%. The key to its success lies in that Spotify has a large range of music; songs are instantly available and the servic

82、e is reasonably priced.Easy access isnt the only possible solution. Economist Glenn MacDonald thinks he has the answer. He says record companies should give albums away for free and then make money from tours and merchandising. Thats not such a ridiculous idea. The heavy metal group Manowar has made

83、 a fortune from their tours, which are full of fans who discovered the band by illegally downloading the music.Online piracy is a complex and controversial issue.
