10、he older generation. “Its not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. Shes a courier (快递人员).Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a
11、 nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated ( 移 居 ). It was extremely difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mo
12、ther of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?“My colleagues were young and they didnt understand me because of my age. They often asked me, You are so old, what are you working for? I was very unhappy.” She said. So while the rest of her family left for w
13、ork, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms. Chengs neighbours told her about Employees Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.“I was interested in courier work. I did
14、nt think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy,” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and e
15、ventually she took heart and went off to work as a courier.Ms. Chengs employer is delighted with her. “Ms. Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they we
16、re able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”24.Why was it dif
17、ficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.B.She found it difficult to trust others.C.People thought she was too old to work.D.People didnt think she had enough work experience.25.Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because .A.it was too difficultB.she was

19、oney27.According to Anthony Chong, young people .A.are able and reliableB.are less experienced than the older onesC.are fitter and stronger than the older onesD.are more likely to give up than the older onesC The summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more by exercising? Or is
20、it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. Theyve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person co
21、ols off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. Its just as if they were working within any other organism
22、, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that arent your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, theres a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cel
23、ls hover ever so slightly above the exercisers skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.According
24、to G, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym wi
25、th a trail of sweat and a red face. Its possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.28.Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic.B.To show his dislike of summer.C.To give an example.D.To tell of his dream.29.
26、What cant be learned from the passage?A.When a person doesnt sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.B.The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exercisers skin.C.When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.D.The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.30.Whats mainly tal
27、ked about in the last paragraph?A.The influence of the technology.B.The efficiency of the technology.C.Different reviews on the technology.D.Authors attitude to the technology.31.Where does the essay come from?A.MagazineB.NewspaperC.BrochureD.WebsiteDThe 5-year-old mountain lion, P-45, has managed t
28、o cross busy roads safely, has avoided rat poison and has successfully claimed his territory (领地) under all challenges that have hindered other members of the mountain lion population in the Santa Monica Mountain. His deadly mistake, however, was doing what mountain lions naturally do so well: killi
29、ng and eating.Over the weekend, P-45 apparently broke into two farms, killing 10 alpacas(羊驼) at one property and a goat and an alpaca at the other. P-45 was identified as the criminal by a tracking device he wears.Its illegal to hunt mountain lions in California thanks to 1990s Proposition 117, but
30、the rule included an exception for residents whose livestock is killed by a lion. And on Nov. 28, the owner of the 10 dead alpacas requested and received a special “depredation permit” (掠夺许可)to hire a hunter to kill P-45. The 10-day permit allows the hunter to cover a 10-mile range around the farm i
31、n search of the lion. Hunters often attract the lion with a deer.The farmer owner is within her legal rights to have the lion killed. But killing P-45 is not the answer, especially when he is one of the few adult male mountain lions in an isolated population that is at risk of extinction.Of course,
32、people should be allowed to protect themselves and their children if a mountain lion attacks. But the law that allows the issuance of the depredation permit essentially gives the livestock owner the right to decide whether the lion should live or die. There is no evaluation by wildlife official as t
33、o whether the lion poses a further threat to humans or animals.Los Angeles residents are lucky to live near wild, open spaces large enough to sustain mountain lions. Surely there is a better way to manage the conflicts that arise when humans and their domestic animals move into areas that have long
34、served as habitat for wildlife.32.What does the underlined word “hindered” refer to in the first paragraph?A.blocked.B.killed.C.protected.D.surrounded.33.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.Lions feed only on deer.B.P-45 will be killed on Nov. 28.C.P-45 will be found10 miles around the farm
35、 in 10 days.D.Lions in California can not be hunted at will.34.What will probably be the result if P-45 is killed?A.Residents can live with lions peacefully.B.The mountain lions situation will probably be worsened.C.The conflict between man and lions can be solved.D.Lions will not be a further threa
36、t to humans or animals.35.Whats the authors attitude towards the “depredation permit”?A.Objective.B.Supportive.C.Opposed.D.Uninterested.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Healthy eating begins with learning how to eat smartits not just what you eat, but how you eat.
