10、rocess, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day. Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career
11、, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they s

But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets.

13、mily”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained lo
14、ok. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope?

19、by companies including Uber, are expected to thoroughly cut down on motor vehicle deaths and create billion-dollar businesses. But Mondays accident highlighted the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars face real-world situations involving real people“This catastrophic ac
20、cident highlights why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and applying autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads,” said Edward Markey, a member of the transportation committee, in a statement“Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road i

26、sures to look into the accident. COne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying
27、 a computer game should be frowned (皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Me
28、ntal activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didnt believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been
29、around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. Its not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another developmen
30、t that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of video games available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation(模拟)games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train S
31、imulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply dont have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are
32、better. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people
33、 would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.28. What is the common attitude like towards the old in using modern technology?A. Objective.B. Prejudiced. C. Supportive.D. Doubtful.29
34、. What does the “grey gamers” refer to in the text?A. The old who dont like computer games.B. The teenagers skilled in computer games.C. The aged computer game players.D. The young computer game lovers30. What is “the truth” in the last paragraph?A. Computer games are not suitable for the elder.B. T
35、he teenagers are surely better in games skills. C. The old are much less skilled in games.D. The old are better in some game skills.31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Who are Better Gamers, the Old or the Young? B. What “Grey Gamers” Like and DislikeC. Computer Games Unf
36、it for the Old? D. How Computer Games Develop DThe importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who wed rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both brilliant at th
37、eir jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who
38、annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them. What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come acro
39、ss each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all. The reality is that people either like each
40、other or they dont. You cant force it. Possibly you can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our wor
41、kmates when they are completely hopeless. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?By far th
42、e most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is o
43、nly one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it. Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encou
44、rage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.32. According to the research, which kind of colleagues would people tend to choose?A. Nice but unintelligent.B. Creative but unattractive.C. Competent but unfriendly.D. Humorous but not amb
45、itious.33. The author talks about her experience to showthat _. A. people respect outstanding leadersB. people tend to like optimistic workmatesC. a workmates working ability is importantD. talkative workmates makes offices friendlier 34. Some people think that similar people working together may _A
46、. offend each other B. create fewer new ideasC. talk more and work lessD. work less efficiently 35. To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could _. A. arrange the training course for workers to study togetherB. organize team-building activities outside the officeC. encourage a diversit

48、re, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools. Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a recor
49、d of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist. Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes (斧子). 38 Finally, both groups
50、 of “producers”, by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result. Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surp
51、rising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way. In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes (染料) have been found in an area where none were produced. 39 Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also found at the same place. The earliest j
52、ewellery known to us were not just random findings they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today. 40 However, their modern equivalents fast cars and expe
53、nsive clothes hold the same attraction for us as “trade goods” did for people 100,000 years ago. A. And we dont need shops or money to do it. B. These are powerful evidence for cash purchase. C. In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity. D. However, first trade began from the exchange
54、of objects. E. Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces. F. It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away. G. Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节, 满分45 分)第一节(共20小题: 每小题1.5 分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文
