21、One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they really saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.

Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.

After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about what happened to the two mice.

One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said, “That was why!”

A clever French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.

A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.

At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”

Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.

In fact, true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is built on no relationship.

【1】Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ________.

A．one was biting the other

B．the mouth of the hole was too small

C．they were not afraid of smoke

D．one was trying to help the blind one

【2】Why did they lower their heads in shame according to the passage?

A．They did not dare to answer.

B．They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.

C．They regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.

D．They did not express themselves much better.

【3】It is clear that ________.

A．all the mice came out of the hole easily

B．each of the people understood the relationship differently

C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke

D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sight

【4】The underlined sentence “it made sense” probably means ________.

A．it was reasonable

B．it was strange

C．it was funny

D．it was sweet

22、Stories about sled dogs hauling medicine and supplies through the frozen wilderness have become the stuff of legends, but did you know pups are proving just as powerful in the waves as they are on the ice?

In Italy, an elite squadron of 350 specially-trained dogs from the Italian School of Water Rescue Dogs (Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio, or SICS) has successfully been patrolling the beaches, working as lifeguards. 300 SICS units, consisting of one dog and one trainer, are tasked with watching over approximately 30 of the country’s busiest beaches. Thanks to their willingness to perform, strength, and fearless exploits-including leaping from helicopters into the surf below to rescue at-risk swimmers-an average of 20-30 lives are saved annually by the doggie guards, and that number continues to climb each year.

Earlier this month, when several families, including eight children, were endangered by strong wind and wave conditions while 330 feet from shore, three doggie lifeguards and their trainers rushed in to save the day. With the help of their human companions, dogs Eros, Mya, and Mira pulled everyone to safety in about 15 minutes.

The SICS program is the brainchild of 59-year-old Ferruccio Pilenga, who got the idea that dogs would make excellent lifeguards back in 1989 from watching his own Newfoundland, an immensely powerful swimmer named Mas. “He pulled a water-filled boat with three people on board for half an hour,” Pilenga told The Times of London. “A human cannot do that.”

The SICS program is arduous. After 18 months of basic training, only those dogs successfully completing the required steps are considered ready to move on to the more intensive aspects of lifesaving techniques, such as jumping from helicopters and leaping from speeding boats.

【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A．SICS trains both dogs and other animals.

B．Each SICS unit has at least two dogs.

C．The dogs have rescued about 30 lives so far.

D．The dogs’ performance is improving annually.

【2】What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?

A．To prove dogs’ loyalty to humans.

B．To show how dogs work with their trainers.

C．To explain the cause of the accident off the shore.

D．To remind swimmers about safety.

【3】What do we know about Ferruccio Pilenga?

A．He and his children created the SICS program.

B．He got the idea when he was watching a movie about dogs.

C．He thought dogs had advantages over humans as lifeguards.

D．He lost his dog Mas when rescuing some swimmers.

【4】What does the underlined word “arduous" in paragraph 5 mean?

A．easy

B．interesting

C．mysterious

D．challenging

23、It's never been easier to find vacant(空缺的）jobs or to apply for them nowadays.“With technology,it's much easier,”says Dennis Masel,chief operating officer of a US staffing agency.Mr. Masel says PDF files,mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.“I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a client's(客户) office,”he says.“Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”

Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process.Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click.And it is not only computers but also mobile phones.However, some employers do not trace the applications they receive.It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less unlikely to get new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.

First,he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work.“By making a personal connection,you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”

Second, he says,you must react quickly when you see a job you want.“For every position that you are interested in,you have to imagine that thousands of job­seekers are all coming after the same position.You have to be quick.Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”

Third,use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.

“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and it's really easy for me to basically in,”he says.“Put keywords in,such as the location you want to search and your experience,and get exactly what you want.”

【1】According to Para.1, people now change the way they work NOT because of .

24、Imagine you bought a new shirt and did not intend to buy a new jacket,however,you suppose that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. You weaken and buy a new jacket, new trousers,even new shoes.Before you realize it,you have a whole new wardrobe.And maybe an empty bank account.

This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot,a well-known French philosopher,was the co-founder and writer of Encyclopedia. However，he was too badly off to afford a dowry(嫁妆)for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s financial troubles,Catherine the Great,the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale，Diderot acquired a new dressing gown(长袍)which had a huge effect on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. Thus, he began replacing them.

According to many social scientists,it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to reflect our self-image. In 1988, anthropologist Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.

Marketers utilize this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is the Swedish furniture company IKEA, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, website and catalogue. One is dividing items like lamps and rugs into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms. Shops count on all of these to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.

We may occasionally give in to the Diderot Effect,but knowing it exists can help us resist it so we don’t regret our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!

【1】What can we infer about Denis Diderot from paragraph 2?

A．His belongings were out of style.

B．He showed interest in nothing but books.

C．He kept on buying new items after the lucky sale.

D．His new dressing gown landed him in financial troubles.

【2】Why are people always buying things they don’t actually need?

A．To improve their social status.

B．To show off their beauty and elegance.

C．To make their belongings better matched.

D．To cater for the needs of family members.

【3】What does the underlined word “utilize” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Get rid of.

B．Ignore.

C．Affect.

D．Take advantage of.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Keep an eye on your bank account

B．Embrace Minimalism: less is more

C．The Diderot Effect: a two-edged sword

D．Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?
