A chance meeting in the grocery store pushes the 51 of depression a
26、side and ends up changing a life.Norahs mother, Tara Wood, wrote on Facebook that her daughter seemed magnetically(有磁力地) 52 to the man when they passed by him at the store. So much so that she stood up in the cart and waved 53 , “Hi, old person! Its my birthday today！”The mans expression 54 and his
27、face lit up when he realized she was speaking to him. “Well, hello, little lady! And how old are you today？” he asked.They 55 for a few seconds and it was super adorable(可爱的). They continued on their way but a few minutes later, Norah asked if she could hug and take a 56 with the man, whom they now

It can be exciting f
36、or kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard
37、is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.Water SafetyAt this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket(飞涨) compared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inc
38、h of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.Sun SafetyWe are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, its import
39、ant to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(防晒霜) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.Bike SafetyNothing says summer like a nice neigh
40、bourhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Dont forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. Its estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have be
41、en prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.71. Summer is called a dangerous time because children .A. are easily injuredB. enjoy staying in the sunC. want to learn swimm
42、ingD. refuse to accept advice72. What can be learned from the passage?A. Kids only need to wear T-shirts and shorts.B. Bikes, like toys, seldom lead to injury.C. Some swim schools offer children class for free.D. Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.BGus Wenner runs R; his father gave hi
43、m the job. But Jann Wenner, the magazines co-founder and publisher, was quick to assure critics of the appointment process that his son is terribly talented and had to prove himself before being given the post. Apparently, Gus worked his way up from more junior positions with the company, and demons
44、trated, according to his father, the “drive and discipline and charm, and all the things that show leadership.” Gus Wenner is 22 years old.He is certainly not the only kid out of college, or even out of high school, working at daddys firm. Family contacts are a common way of finding both temporary i
45、nternships and longtime careers. Opportunities for the children of top 1 percent are not the same as they are for the 99 percent.This is hardly a shock, but it is precisely the type of inequality that reveals the hard-to-define promise of the “Just Do It” version of the American dream and deepens ou
46、r cynicism(愤世嫉俗) about how people get ahead. As a consequence, it weakens support for public policies that could address the lack of upward mobility among children born at the bottom, who ought to be given priority. A strong tie between adult outcomes and family background annoys Americans. When an
47、organization conducted a nationally representative survey asking about the meaning of “the American dream”， some typical answers included: “Being free to say or do what you want” and “Being free to accomplish almost anything you want with hard work，” but also “Being able to succeed regardless of the
48、 economic circumstances in which you were born.”This is exactly the reason that “the American dream” is not only a defining metaphor(暗喻) for the country, but also why Americans have long been willing to tolerate a good deal more economic inequality than citizens of many other rich countries. A belie
49、f in the possibility of upward mobility not only morally justifies inequality as the expression of talents and energies, but also extends a promise to those with lower incomes. After all, why would you be a strong advocate(支持者) for reducing inequality if you believe that you, or eventually your chil
50、dren, were likely to climb the income ladder?Hard work and perseverance(毅力) will always be ingredients for success, but higher inequality has made having successful parents, if not essential, certainly a central part of the recipe.The belief that talent is something you are born with, and that oppor
51、tunities are open to anyone with ambition and energy, also has a dangerous consequence. When the public policy is focused on the difficult situation of the poor, this belief can help the concept resurface that the poor are “undeserving” and are the authors of their own situation. Yet we actually kno
52、w a good deal about why children of the poor have a higher chance of being stuck on poverty as adults.The recipes for breaking this intergenerational trap are clear: a nurturing(培养) environment in the early years combined with accessible and high-quality health care and education promote the capacit
53、ies of young children, heighten the development of their skills as they grow older, and eventually raise their chances of upward mobility.Talent is nurtured and developed, and even genes are expressed differently depending upon environmental influences.The 1 percent are the goal for these upper-midd
54、le-class families, who after all have also experienced significant growth in their relative standing. The graduate and other higher degrees that they hold, for which they put in considerable effort, have put them on the upside of the wave of globalization and technical change that has transformed th
55、e American job market.An age of higher inequality gives them both more resources to promote the capacities of their children, and more encouragement to make these investments since their children now have all the more to gain.For them, an American dream based on effort and talent still lives, and as
56、 a result they are less likely, with their considerable cultural and political influence, to support the reshaping of American public policy to meet its most pressing need: the future of those at the bottom.73. The phenomenon illustrated by the appointment of Gus Wenner _A. stops people from dreamin
57、g the American dreamB. encourages the government to carry out public policiesC. reduces the level of peoples tolerance of economic inequalityD. narrows the possibilities of people at the bottom moving upward74. By saying “Being able to succeed regardless of the economic circumstances in which you we
58、re born，” the respondents of the survey _A. showed their upset about the inequalityB. expressed their gratitude for the fairnessC. indicated their determination to succeedD. gave their satisfaction with the circumstances75. Which of the following opinions does the author hold?A. Lack of talent leads
59、 to peoples difficult situations.B. When someone is born, his future has been decided.C. The environment where one is brought up determines his fate.D. Opportunities are open to anyone ambitious and energetic.76. What is the best title for the passage?A. How old are you?B. What is your talent?C. Who
60、 is your daddy?D. Where is your future?CAn American company has built a new drone（无人机）that could improve the speed of deliveries（送交的货）.The drone is very different from other unmanned aircraft. It is made almost completely out of cardboard and has no motor. It can be packed with materials and sealed
61、up with tape.Because the drones do not have a motor, they are designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be sent out at once. Then they could be automatically guided to where they are supposed to go. The company says these drones could then complete deliveries to different place
62、s over an area covering hundreds of kilometers. The drones look bigger than the paper airplanes we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is not a toy. It is aerodynamically(空气动力学地) designed and equipped with a small computer, a battery and sensors to guide it to the ground.The drones are being
63、developed by Otherlaba technology research company in San Francisco, California. It calls the drone a Sky Machine.The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour. Now, it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future models are expected to carr
64、y larger loads.One of the drones main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery. This allows more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and operate.The Otherlab development team has called its invention the Ikea of drones. This is because it is packaged s
65、imilarly to products from the Swedish furniture maker Ikea. The drone arrives as flat pieces of pre-cut cardboard that can be quickly and easily put together.The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target, according to Otherlab. Unlike other drones, even a crash
66、 landing is acceptable. The company says the drones can also be reused.Once the drone completes its delivery, it can be thrown away and the cardboard material will likely break down within a few months.The company has received money from the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out research on the dr
67、ones. The money came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The agency is attempting to find the best delivery vehicles that can disappear after their missions are complete. The U.S. military has a need for delivery drones. But it wants to simplify and lower the cost of using them. Othe
68、rlabs Sky Machines are an attempt to fill that need.Military drones can also be stolen and studied by others if found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside must also somehow disappear. Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to self-de
69、struct.77. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Why the new drone is invented.B. What the new drone is equipped with.C. How can the new drone get to the ground and work there.D. Why the new drone is designed like paper airplanes.78. Why is the invention called the Ikea of drone?A. Because its
70、a product made by Ikea.B. Because it uses the idea from Ikea.C. Because its built at a low cost like furniture of Ikea.D. Because its made up of pre-cut cardboard.79. Which of the following statements is the advantage of the new drone?A. It can land near its target.B. It has a light motor inside.C.
71、A crash landing is not acceptable.D. Its load weighs far more than one kilo.80. What about Otherlabs Sky Machines can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. They have been built by the US military.B. Research is being carried out on their improvement.C. They are now often stolen and studied by
72、others after deliveries.D. The electronic materials inside will destroy themselves after use.DThe policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The time was nearly 10 oclock at night, but cold gusts of wind with a taste of rain had almost developed the streets.When about midway of a certai
73、n block the policeman suddenly slowed his walk. In the doorway of a darkened hardware store a man leaned, with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to him the man spoke up quickly.“Its all right, officer,” he said, reassuringly. “Im just waiting for a friend. Its an appointmen
74、t made twenty years ago. Sounds a little funny to you, doesnt it? Well, Ill explain if youd like to make certain its all straight.”The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. The light showed a little white scar near his right eyebrow. His scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly set.“Twenty
75、 years ago tonight,” said the man, “I dined here with Jimmy Wells, my best friend, and the finest man in the world. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. We agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time.”“It sounds pretty inte
76、resting,” said the policeman. “Havent you heard from your friend since you left?”“Well, yes, for a time we corresponded,” said the other. “But after a year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively. But I know
77、Jimmy will meet me here if hes alive, for he always was the truest, firmest old man in the world.”The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds.“Three minutes to ten,” he announced. “It was exactly ten oclock when we parted here at the restaurant door.”“Did pret
78、ty well out West, didnt you?” asked the policeman.“You bet! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. Ive had to compete with some of the sharpest wits going to get my pile.”The policeman twirled his club and took a step or two. “Ill be on my way. Hope your friend comes around all right. Going to call tim
79、e on him sharp?”“I should say not!” said the other. “Ill give him half an hour at least. If Jimmy is alive on earth hell be here by that time. So long, officer.”“Good-night, sir,” said the policeman.There was now a fine, cold drizzle falling, and the wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a st
80、eady blow.About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried across from the opposite side of the street.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man in the door.“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new
81、arrival. “Its Bob! I was certain Id find you here if you were still in existence. Well, well, well! How has the West treated you, old man?”“Bully; it has given me everything I asked it for.”“Doing well in New York, Jimmy?”“Moderately. I have a position in one of the city departments. Come on. Bob; w
82、ell go around to a place I know of, and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started up the street, arm in arm.At the corner stood a drug store, brilliant with electric lights. When they came into this glare each of them turned at the same time to gaze upon the others face.The man from
83、 the West stopped suddenly.“Youre not Jimmy Wells,” he snapped. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a mans nose from a Roman to a pug.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “Youve been under arrest for ten minutes, Silky Bob, Now, before we go o
84、n to the station heres a note I was asked to hand you. Its from Patrolman Wells.”The man from the West unfolded the little piece of paper handed him. The note was rather short.“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man w
85、anted in Chicago. Somehow, I couldnt do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. JIMMY.”81. Which of the following does NOT imply that Bob made his fortune in the West?A. His scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly set.B. The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lid
86、s of it set with small diamonds.C. “It has given me everything I asked for it.”D. “I kept hustling around over it (the West) pretty lively.”82. In the second paragraph, the policeman suddenly slowed his walk to .A. show his devotion to his work to the people in the streetB. have a rest because it wa
87、s cold and too late in the nightC. check whether it was his old friend at the appointed placeD. enter the hardware store and have a thorough examination83. The underlined word “correspond” means .A. break up B. stay in touch C. lose track D. lose our way84. The wind and rain in the underlined senten
88、ce serves the purpose of .A. showing that the story will soon come to an endB. indicating it was possible for Bob to meet his friendC. creating an atmosphere and twisting the following plotD. acting as a test of the friendship between the two friends85. Which of the following can best describe Bobs
89、personality?A. foxy, careless, responsibleB. rude, loyal, determinedC. loyal, adventurous, frankD. humorous, talkative, unconfident第三部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。When you catch a cold, should you still go into work or have a rest
90、at home? Sometimes this decision can actually get quite stressful. On the one hand, going into work is the conscientious(勤勉负责的) thing to do. On the other hand, going into work could make you ill for longer. You probably wont be able to concentrate and do your work well and you might make other peopl
91、e ill. So to help you decide, lets take a look at some of the factors.First of all, before you go into work, ask yourself whether you are actually going to be productive. Do you have pressing work that really cant wait? Is your job so easy that you can relax while working? If going into work might m
92、ake you worse, perhaps you had better have one day off and then work probably later.Secondly, ask yourself whether you are contagious (患传染病的) and your suffering is caused by a virus. Viruses are highly contagious and can spread through the air. If you cough close to someone, you can very easily give
93、 him or her a cold. As a result, youll end up infecting your colleagues, thus dramatically damaging the productivity of the whole workforce.Another reason to take time off work is that its important for your health. Even if you can work in your current condition, that doesnt necessarily mean that yo
94、u should, as paying no attention to your symptoms could lead to you getting worse and catching other illnesses. Your immune system is weakened when you are ill, so if you travel on the bus with other possibly sick people, you can end up getting other serious infections. Worse still, if a viral infec
95、tion makes it to your brain, it can result in serious brain damage. So listen to your body and take its warnings seriously!Though its better to take time off work in the vast majority of situations, you may well not to do it. Why? Because there is an important meeting tomorrow, or youre trying to im
96、press the new boss, or you have a huge to-do list. In short, youre probably always feeling as though you have a huge mountain of work to do.
