Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely unfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of municating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they e across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.24What does the author say about silence in conversations?AIt implies anger.BIt promotes friendship.CIt is culture-specific.DIt is content-based.25Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?AThe Russians.BThe French.CThe Mexicans.DThe Chinese.26What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?ALet it continue as the patient pleases.BBreak it while treating patients.CEvaluate its harm to patients.DMake use of its healing effects.27What may be the best title for the text?ASound and SilenceBWhat It Means to Be SilentCSilence to Native AmericansDSpeech Is Silver; Silence Is GoldC Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. Its a major problem in many societies. Thats why intergenerational programs, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention. One successful scheme in France is bining a residential home for the elderly with a crche / nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.28What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?AA generation gap. BCaring for children.CThe support for the aged.DIntergenerational contact.29What do the programs mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?AMake the old take care of children.BHelp the old people learn new things.CEncourage the young to care for the old.DIncrease contact between the old and the young.30What is special about the scheme in France?AJoining an elderly house with a kindergarten.BHiring old people as child-care workers.CHelping children face misfortunes bravely.DUsing children to acpany the old.31In which aspect does the scheme benefit the old?AIt builds up their strength.BThey live a healthier life.CIt creates a family atmosphere.DThey are closer to their relatives.D A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling. The invention, which automatically sorts rubbish into recycling categories, is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in the UK within a few years. The bin, designed by start-up pany Bin. E, recognizes different types of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensors identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it presses (压缩) the waste so it occupies less space. News of the launch showed that more than a million households are being forced to accept bin collections every three or four weeks, because councils are trying to force them to recycle more. Data collected by The Telegraph has showed at least 18 areas have moved or will shortly be moving to three-weekly rubbish collections, while a further three have adopted or are trialing four-weekly collections. While reducing general bin collections, councils are increasing the frequency of recycling collections in a bid to change peoples behavior. It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing new hi-tech recycling bins to satisfy increasing customer appetite for them. Matt Thomas, a utility (家用设施) seller at John Lewis, said, “Weve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are being more and more sustainability focused, choosing dual partment (双格) recycling bins that make it far easier to recycle different types of waste. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a new voice and sensor activated smart bin this autumn / winter season designed to use new technology to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home.”32What can we know about the smart bin?AIt has entered the UK market.BIt breaks up the garbage quickly.CIt can classify different kinds of rubbish.DIt expands its space with the increase of garbage.33What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?AThe cost of producing the bins has raised.BThe smart bins have been the best sellers.CThe stores have sold out the new bins in a very short time.DThe sales volume of the recycling bins has increased suddenly.34What can we infer from Matt Thomas words?APeople can get the smart bins at a low price.BPeople always spend much time in rubbish collections.CMore and more hi-tech bins are designed for customers.DPeople pay more attention to environmental protection than before.35Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ASmart Bins in the United KingdomBCouncils Call for Rubbish CollectionCA Smart Bin That Sorts Different RubbishDThe Good News to Environment - Conscious Families第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As parents, sometimes it may feel like all your kids do is to sit in front of a screen. 36 If were realistic, thats probably not going to happen. But if you keep things properly managed, screen time can be beneficial.Acknowledge that screens arent all bad. 37 Watching television or playing games on the puter can be fun, entertaining and a good way to relax. There are also many programs, games and apps that are educational and your children will likely have some homework to do on a puter. 38 While screens can be beneficial, if your kids spend too much time in front of them they will miss out on other activities. Things like playing outdoors, reading and doing sports are extremely important for balance. Face-to-face munication with family and friends teaches valuable social skills something that cant be learnt via social media.Educate yourself.To strike the right screen time balance for your house, start by learning what technology is around, what its best used for and for the ages its appropriate. 39 Other parents might be able to offer some insight(见解)too.Set limits for your kids and yourself.Its a good idea to put some rules in place around screen time. Let your kids know how they are allowed to use screens what for, when and for how long. 40 Theyll be more receptive to the rules if theyve had input.

Now let me tell you one experience where I almost let adversity 42 .We had a glass studio, which was located 50 feet from our home. A couple of years ago we experienced an 43 winter; we had a lot of snow and ice. The 44 of the ice and snow 45 the roof on our studio, taking with it one of our sources of ine. 46 it did fall down, we got on the roof and tried to 47 the snow and ice, but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius, it was pretty 48 to do.We had a partner e in to help us try to 49 the roof by supporting. In the end, there was 50 that could be done. The roof came down. We had moved a lot of our goods and tools from the studio 51 we lost a lot also: glass, kilns, workbenches, to name only a few of the items. It was a 52 experience.Here we were in the middle of winter with our studio collapsed. We couldnt work as we had almost 53 all the material in a building we were not using. We could have done one of two things: we could simply say that we can no longer 54 our glass business. Let me tell you that this was certainly a thought that 55 our mind. Or we could find a way to get our studio back up and running.We picked the 56 option. We had a large barn that we were not using. So we renovated (翻新) the barn, 57 our working area and today we have a nicer studio than we 58 had. If the adversity we were 59 had not happened, we probably would 60 be working in the old studio a studio that was less efficient.41ApreventedBinfluencedCdestroyedDpromoted42AsufferBescapeCwinDwork43AawfulBawesomeCagreeableDawkward44AsizeBheightCweightDtemperature45AcollapsedBlimitedCpressedDstruck46ABeforeBUnlessCAlthoughDWhen47AreplaceBreduceCrecycleDremove48AworthwhileBtoughCrewardingDannoying49AexamineBtestCsecureDrestore50AsomethingBenoughCallDnothing51AforBbutCorDso52AvainBvalidCdisastrousDtreasured53AdisplayedBarrangedCpiledDpresented54ApredictBconductCinstructDquit55AapproachedBcrossedCclearedDforted56AlatterBformerCeasierDfurther57AevaluatedBredesignedCorganizedDreserved
