10、ven having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. Luckily, new research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water dee
11、per than this can now be extracted(抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers(地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are
12、 other concerns. The biggest concern of pumping out water from this deep is the gradual settling down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is compacted(压实) by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than
13、desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in this coastal state. Some desalination factories exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe wa
14、ter shortage.One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some wells may even need to undergo desalination after extraction, thus increasing the cost. The result of a thorough study of groundwater from over 950 drillin
15、g logs has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves in the state now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.21. How could Californias drought problem be solved according to some researchers? A. By building more reserves of groundwater. B. By drawing water from the depths o
16、f the earth. C. By developing more advanced drilling machines. D. By improving its water distribution system.22. What is mentioned as a consequence of pumping water from deep underground? A. The sinking of land surface. B. The harm to the ecosystem. C The damage to aquifers. D. The change of the cli
17、mate.23. What does the author say about deep wells? A. They run without any need for repairs. B. They are the final solution to droughts. C. They are entirely free from pollution. D. They provide a steady supply of freshwater.BIn one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sit
18、ting by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.He was a highranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were s
19、eriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how illequipped it was. There were no enough lifesaving drugs and lifesupporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to st
20、ruggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others，particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his income
21、on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs. Me
22、anwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left
23、him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to
24、school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead.24James chose to retire in order to Atake care of the injured passengers. Bfind a better job to incr

The results were promising: while the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, productivitymeasured by sales per e
29、mployee went up by almost 40% compared to the same period of the previous year, the company said in a statement last week.In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails.

30、onger than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app.The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsofts 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to the company. By shutting down ea

The problem is so severe that the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi death by overwork from stress-induced illness
32、es or severe depression.The issue attracted international attention in 2015, when an employee at Japanese advertising giant Dentsu committed suicide on Christmas Day. Tokyo officials later said that the staff had worked excessive amounts of overtime. Two years later, a reporter at a Japanese broadca

37、. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. But the option of walking away and
38、calming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are some other constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you
39、act. Take that moment and calm down if you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you are angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is all right, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are ang
40、ry and let your feelings out before you blow up. For example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to close friends to pour out your rage (愤怒). If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano.Then, in order
41、 to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves What made me angry? When you get the answer, and then ask yourself Why did that made me angry? Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move towards a sensible solution.32. The underlin
42、ed sentence in Paragraph 1 is to _.A. provide an exampleB. make a comparisonC. introduce a new statementD. develop a previous statement33. If people face anger, _.A. they know how to manage it B. it is often quite hard to get awayC. they can only choose to fight or to run D. they believe running mea

45、eems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter: Make a careful plan.

46、your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.Set your goals. As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and measurable goals.

47、ssure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals. 37 38 Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks（emails, reports）, one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.D
48、elegate（分派工作）effectively. 39 The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed, but it is bad for their colleagues, by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.Dont make work harder than it actually is.

ThereforeHowever 根据前后语境逻辑可知，此处存在转折关系，故用However。9. probableprobably 修饰整个句子，要用副词probably。10. closingclosed 分析句子结构可知，此处close作谓语，和refused, walked构成并列谓语，故时态要保持一致。
