21、
The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
【1】What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A. It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.
B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
【2】One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.
A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D. some stories make people feel sad
【3】Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A. freed B. broken C. unfolded D. untouched
【4】The writer aims to convince us to ________.
A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends
22、Hardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf. Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys; SUVs are presented in natural habitats; oil companies use sunny, friendly logos and promise cleaner technologies- although, in fact, they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues.
This is known as greenwashing, which means “making things that are not green look green”. The phenomenon has long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970, when companies spent $300 million advertising themselves as green companies—many times more than the money they actually spent on research into pollution reduction itself. And the trend continued over the following decades when some of the planet’s worst polluters tried to pass themselves off as eco-friendly. As the public’s environmental awareness grew, so too did the experience of corporate public relations strategies, and advertisers found ever- more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives.
Of course, some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But when a company spends more time and money claiming to be “green” than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact, it is clear that, for them, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan(口号). Their message is “buy our products and you will end global warming, improve air quality and save the oceans”. At best, such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits; at worst, it helps conceal deception.
And what about today s consumers? Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions about what is true. Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why else would companies do it? More information and greater awareness are essential. Analysing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum. Non- governmental organisations can spread the word. Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies. But it is not enough. Legally enforceable systems must be put in place.
So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers’ eyes? In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development”. All of these surely are the heart of the matter: the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles. And therein lies the real danger to our planet, a danger which cannot be ignored any longer.
【1】What can we learn about greenwashing?
A．It is an ecological concept.
B．It is a marketing technique.
C．It is an awareness campaign.
D．It is an advertising innovation.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “conceal deception” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Hide the truth.
B．Raise the risk.
C．Expose the weakness.
D．Break the limit.
【3】What can be inferred about most consumers?
A．They are lacking in legal knowledge.
B．They have encouraged greenwashing.
C．They may question consumer groups.
D．They tend to make sensible decisions.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Actions to fight false advertising.
B．Ways to protect customers’ interest.
C．Attempts to solve environmental problems.
D．Proposals to ensure sustainable development.
23、Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.
If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.”If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, attend classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-respect would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work are disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.
The second and perhaps more common reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and get married, have a mortgage(抵押贷款)and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest restrict of all. People hate having to do something because they have no other choice.
If you find yourself hating your job, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume(简历). You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.
At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
【1】Why do some people believe that working is wasting time?
A．They think it can’t make them happy and display their natural abilities.
B．They think it prevents them from accompanying their families.
C．It can’t guarantee they can get the payoff satisfying their needs.
D．It makes them have no time to do their private things at will.
【2】The second main reason for people’s unhappiness in their jobs is that they feel________.
A．they have been working in a company for too long
B．they have no other way out but to keep working
C．they have to work to pay off their debts
D．they are not permitted to change a job
【3】With an up-to-date resume ready as an option, you may feel better at your job because________.
A．you have made a decision on your own
B．you have done wonders in your current job
C．you have chance to choose between two alternatives
D．you have chance to glance through the help-wanted section
【4】It can be inferred that the author________.
A．thinks holding an “up-to-date resume” is the best way to remove the unhappiness in one’s job
B．can hardly tolerate one’s complete enjoyment of life
C．believes that one cannot change his/her environment
D．will support the idea that one should make a balance between working and enjoying life
【5】What is the author’s attitude towards “self-respect”?
A．Cautious.
B．Negative.
C．Supportive.
D．Unconcerned.
24、Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans．Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction．“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（刺激）,” Edwards points out．“The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help．A robotic dog could be a solution．”
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone．Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks．These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO．Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner．
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady．“When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down．He has a mind of his own．”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders．The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people．Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it．A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns．
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry,” Beck says．“But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief．”
“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper．They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms．AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds．”
【1】The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to______．
A． understand human-animal relationship
B． find the causes of old people’s loneliness
C． make lonely old people’s life better
D． promote the animal-assisted research
【2】In the research, the old people are asked to______．
A． note the activities of AIBOs
B． keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C． analyze the collected information
D． record their feelings and activities
【3】What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A． It can watch TV with its owner
B． It can help the disabled people
C． It responds to all the human orders
D． It is easier to keep at home
【4】The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may______．
A． keep old people active
B． cure certain diseases
C． change people's beliefs
D． look more like real dogs

25、Living before death
“Kick the bucket” is an English expression for dying. So it makes _______ that your “Bucket-list” is a list of things you want to accomplish before you pass away.
In the 2007 American comedy-drama film“The Bucket List”, two men, a blue collar worker named Carter Chambers and the billionaire health care magnate (巨头) Edward Cole both have been _______ with lung cancer and become _______ in the hospital. Carter begins writing his own bucket list. And Edward _______ finds it and insists they do everything on the list together, _______ to finance the trip. They travel around the world. They go skydiving, fly over the North Pole, visit the Taj Mahal and ride motorycles on the Great Wall of China.
As they come back home, Carter has a _______ time with his family and _______ the importance of having a close relationship with them. However, the cancer has _______ Carter’s brain and he dies suddenly. Edward attempts to reconcile with (与……和解) his daughter as Carter wishes him to. He then completes the last three things on the list before he himself leaves the world. His _______ are buried on a mountain with Carter’s.
The first half of the movie shows a(n) ________ attitude toward life — how important it is to do the things you have never ________ before and to see miracles all around the world in person. When I watched that part, I also hoped to make a list and ________ myself, just like the two men in the film.
However, the rest of the film ________ another belief — the importance of finding joy in your life and bringing joy to others. Carter ________ with his family members. Edward finally made up for his broken relationship with his daughter. This part was truly moving to me. Most people will never have a chance to travel around the world in their lifetime. However, ________ you find joyfulness in your life and spread it to others, you will feel fulfilled as well.
