25、20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）A For Rachael and Leigh Badman, there is only one wish on their Christmas list this year_ that their sick daughter survives until December 25. Fifteen year-old Paige suffers from a rare brain condition. The disease affects as few as 12 people in the world, and can kill her any day w
26、ithout warning. And her condition has deteriorated in recent months. Each time she closes her eyes, she may never wake up. Rachael and Leigh Badman are worried that she couldnt live through Christmas. They filled their house with Christmas decorations on November1, so she could enjoy her favorite da
27、y of the year in advance. Paige was diagnosed with the condition four years ago. Mrs. Badman described the condition as “being on death row” as she never knows if she will wake up and still have a daughter. She said, “ Paige always loves Christmas and its heartbreaking to see her suffering like this
28、.” In the last months, Paige has been unable to eat and has never walked or spoken. But she loves music, and enjoys watching pop stars DVDs. And in May she also went on holiday to Florida with her parents and little brother, Kefton. The family , who have already organized parts of Paiges funeral, al
29、so saw the teenager swimming with dolphins during the trip. Since then, however, her condition has worsened.

33、elled with her family before suffering the disease. B. People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word“mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. For example, if you say bad things ab
34、out a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that peoples feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot
35、in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.Information is often spread through word of mouth. This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other.” How did you hear
36、 about that new movie?” someone might ask,” Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece. This is an official spokesperson. Government run media could also be called a mouthpiece. Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the sa
37、me thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person.

48、r long. D I got interested in the idea of standing desks about a year ago. The health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company Ergotron invited me to review their WorkFit C-Mod Dual Desk, I jumped out of my chair-really.After several hours puttin
49、g the desk together, I finally got to try it out. The standing desk had a desktop that I could use for writing.At first I absolutely loved it. Standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. Although I felt more tired after all that standing during the day, I knew the health benefits were
50、worth the slight discomfort. However, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, I realized that I could not use it in the long term.It was just not practical. While using the desk for a month , I could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.I enjoy having a lot of thin
51、gs on my desk. The standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.I can easily foresee awkward situations when I put that desk in an office space. When someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? If you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two ch
52、airs for you and a visitor, which is great. Yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.Additionally, the amount of money I would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. The desks I have looked at wer
53、e highly expensive.Yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. Through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. Best of all, t

57、st statistics, 2022However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countriesThere are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are ableMany people think that older employ
58、ees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retireBesides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees to and are more willing to implement company policies than the youngA more important point is regarding the at
59、titudes in society to old peopleTo force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is overAllowing old people to work indefinitely （无限地）, however, is not always a good policySome people took the
60、strong view that age alone is no guarantee of abilityMany young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working livesHaving compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organizationOn the other hand, older people should be rewa
61、rded by society for their life s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisureThey can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goalsWith many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level position
62、s, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workersHowever, this can affect the older individual s freedomand rightto workIn my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual72.According to the passage, older people should go on with
63、work because _.Athey will help the business not to fail quicklyBthey have grasped much practical experienceCthey need to have a sense of achievementDthey want to learn more knowledge73The underlined word implement in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Atake over Bwork on Cget rid of Dcarry out74The third
