All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.This comes after a national law was passed to gibe prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.“ The
17、 civilization of a city can be measured by this.” Said Monica Carina, the councilor (议员) behind the new law.“Its good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.The newspaper reported that round bowls do
18、nt give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve (值得)our respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin
19、 Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines (罚款) and prison sentences.

Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national
33、 speed limit, but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my fathers age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational poi
34、nt. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.“ Youre not getting older. Youre getting better,” says Dr. Joyce Brother. Thi
35、s, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a b
36、etter change than the one that brings you eulogies (悼词). IN fact, a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all: Grow old along with me!The best is yet to be.Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead
37、being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend (混合)of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家)was right when he said, “ Old is always fifteen years from now.” 59 The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that _A time
38、alone will tellB time goes by quicklyC time will show what is rightD time makes one forget the past60 When the author turned fifty, people around him _. A tried to comfort himB got inspirations from himC were friendlier with himD found him more talkative61 The author considers his fifty years of lif
39、e _.A peacefulB ordinaryC satisfactoryD regretful62 We can infer from the passage that _. A the old should lead a simple lifeB the old should face the fact of agingC the old should take more exerciseD the old should fill themselves with curiosityBACBDIn meditation (冥想), people sit quietly and focus
40、their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this k
41、ind of meditation causes a marked change in how the brain allocates (分配) attention. In appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees that brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert meditators are better than other people at catchin
42、g such fast-changing stimuli (刺激), like facial expressions.The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation i
43、s good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minute
44、s a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both groups looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded. Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced meditators tended to
45、grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.Just ask Daniel Levisio
46、n, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “ I am a much better listener,” he said. “ I dont get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”63 The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A feelingsB minds C people D thought64 Meditators manage their daily task
47、s better because they _.A are given less pressureB allocate their attention betterC have more stimuli for lifeD practice them more frequently65 In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours_.A were more likely to catch both of the numbersB were used to memorizing numbers in groupsC
48、 usually ignored the first number observedD paid more attention to numbers than to letters66 The study proves that_.A meditation improves ones healthB brain activity can be recordedC human attention can be trainedD meditators have a good sense of hearingDBACEWhen we think of leadership, we often thi
49、nk of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they mu
50、st, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you w
51、ill have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our won character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can orde
52、r someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Todays work place is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just
53、 a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivation factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligenceknowing your own e
54、motions, and how to handle them and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.67 An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when
55、 _.A he is forced to do thingsB he cannot work at his bestC he feels his brain shut downD he thinks of his work as too heavy68 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A People tend to associate leadership with fearB Working conditions affect peoples physical healthC Good relationship
56、 is the key to business successD Smart people are more functional in the work place69 To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all _.A provide better suggestionsB develop his won personalityC give his employees a pay raiseD hide his own emotion of fear70 Good leadership is mainly
57、seen in a leaders ability to _.A provide a variety of projects for employeesB help raise employees living standardsC give employees specific instructionsD deal wisely with employees emotionsACBD第四部分书面表达请根据以下提示,以Advertisement为标题,写一篇120词左右的英语短文.1) 广告成了人们生活中不可或缺的点缀2)有的广告走向极端3)你对广告的看法Possible version:Ad
58、vertisementAdvertisements appear everywhere in modern society. When you walk along the streets, you can see large boards with pretty girls smiling at you. You read newspapers, and see half of the pages covered with ads. You turn on TV, and you see commercial advertisements again. Whether you like it
59、 or not, advertisements fill your life. In order to attract more customers, advertisements will sometimes go to extremes. Advertisements use every possible means in producing their announcements. For example, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will employ an actor to sit at a table and eat up their seemingly delicious food product while they film him. Although advertisements enable you to make decisions quickly, sometimes they can cause lots of trouble. There are always many of them and they make you forget what you are sitting there for.
