31、arning 第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分） 請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 A My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door. “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again. “

32、Go away!” I shouted. Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier. The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind. For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood. It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anythi

33、ng like that. I just didn’t think about them very much. I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one. Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone rang. I went inside to take the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then th

34、e basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband. Police searched the neighborhood. Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. “It’s coming from the woods.” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded

35、 cliff. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!

36、I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away. “Come on, girl.” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on t

37、he floor just inside the door. She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it. She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had. What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind! 56.WhatdidthewomandowhenshefirstsawBrandy? A.Shedroveheraway. B.Shegavehersomefood. C.She

39、reets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打車軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy(補貼) by the government, the

40、ir main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies. On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, followi

41、ng the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing. It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai t

42、ransport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December. Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 mil

43、lion in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investor

44、s. Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established

45、 car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps. Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Therefore, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it. 58.WhydidtaxidriversinShenyangblockthes

48、pps-based car rental companies illegal D. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies C Engineers should embrace(接受) the arts, Sir John O’Reilly, a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, argued in a lecture. About

49、 59% of engineering companies in the IET’s 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten business. “There is nothing as creative as engineering,” Sir John told the reporter. He says science, technology, engineering and mathematics—often known as “Stem” subjects, are vital for a modern knowledg

50、e economy. But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits(招聘)— with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces. Delivering this year’s Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution, Sir Jo

51、hn argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work—among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession. The lecture, Full Steam Ahead for Growth, advocated a wider adoption—Steam, or science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. Engineers should emb

52、race the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation(創(chuàng)新), important to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness, he argued. “Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field,” said Sir John. Some university engineering departmen

53、ts already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding, he told the reporter. In particular he mentioned Cranfield University’s Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College’s work with the Royal College of Art. The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis

54、 on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products, he said. “Aesthetics(美學) is part of it,” he told the reporter, adding that Apple’s iPod was not the first digital media player, nor the only one that worked—but it came to dominate the market “because it was nice to have”.

55、 Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants—the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences. But an emphasis on creative skills would help “broaden the pool and attract more people in”. 61. According to a r

56、ecent study by the Royal Academy __________. A. skill shortages could threaten business B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expected C. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK. D. the UK needs more graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics 62. Acc

57、ording to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth, __________. A. engineers should cooperate with arts majors B. accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering C. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work D. engineering and technology is as diverse

58、and creative as before 63. By giving the example of Apple’s iPod, Sir John intends to __________. A. stress the importance of arts B. stress the importance of marketing C. stress the importance of communication D. stress the importance of science and technology 64. What is the passage main

59、ly about? A. Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job. B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather thanarts. C. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success o

60、f products. D. Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career. D One day one of my self-proclaimed(自稱的) Month of Gratitude, my five-year-old son woke up “bored” at 5:15 a.m., I spied a speeding ticket in my wife’s purse, and our water heat

61、er spluttered to its death as I was getting into the shower. Ordinarily, I would have started complaining and the day would have been off to an ugly start. But this day was different. How cute my child’s dimples (酒窩) are. How fetching my wife’s taste for adventure. Only 29 days to go. Just a week e

62、arlier, as I struggled with the feeling that I’d been put on this earth to load and unload the dishwasher, I’d decided it was time to end my reflexive complaining. But it wasn’t simply the little things that were annoying me. All of a sudden, my friends were dealing with bad news—cancer diagnoses, d

63、ivorce, job loss. Shouldn’t I be celebrating my relative good fortune? I’d heard about the feel-good benefits of a gratitude attitude. Hoping for tips, I called professor Emmons, who pioneered research on the benefits of positive thinking. Emmons quoted new studies that indicated that even pretendi

64、ng to be thankful raises levels of the chemicals associated with pleasure and contentment. He recommended keeping a log of everything I’m grateful for in a given week or month. I followed his suggestions, but my first attempts at keeping a gratitude list were pretty weak: coffee, naps, caffeine in

65、general. As my list grew, I found more uplift: freshly picked blueberries; the Beatles’ White Album; that I’m not bald. By day three, I was on a tear, thanking every grocery bagger and parent on the playground like I’d just won an Oscar and hanging Post-it notes to remind myself of the next day’s thank-you targets: the mailman, my son’s math teacher. But soon, the full-on approach started to burn me out. Researchers call it the Pledge of Allegiance(效忠誓言)
