a. he got no happiness although it was well-paid. b. he got the job with the help of his friends. c. he did not earn enough money to support himself. d. he decided to make it his lifelong career.39. through his experience, the author wanted to tell us that _. a. young people should listen to their parents. b. one should be careful in choosing his first job. c. money cannot always bring you real happiness. d. one can learn much by doing a part-time job.bto extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. they must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. most portable kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. the law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.since fuel, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. if the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. the cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. this is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. a blanket may be used do cover a small fire.a third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.the method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. fires have been grouped in three classes. fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called class a fires. these materials usually help keep the fire on. such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.40. to cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _.a. separating the fire b. reducing the heat c. removing the fuel d. cutting off the oxygen41. in choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about_.a. when it breaks out b. how it comes about c. what kind it is d. where it takes place42. what would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?a. another class of fires b. another type of extinguishersc. how fires break out. d. how fires can be prevented.c owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. it may let you surf the internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you arebut it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems. a study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobilephone adds as much as two hours to your working day. researchers found that britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. the study by technology retailer pixmania reveals the average uk working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. more than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. the average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight. ghadi hobeika, marketing director of pixmania, said, “the ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. however, there are drawbacks. many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. the more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”43. what can we conclude from the text? a. all that glitters is not gold b. it never rains but pours c. every coins has two sides d. its no good crying over spilt milk 44. the underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “_”. a calling b. reaching c. getting d. using45. which of the following is true according to the text?

a. workaholics like smartphones. b. smartphones bring about extra work. c. smartphones make our life easier. d. employers dont like smartphones.dyou hear the same complaint all the time: “my memory is terrible” is it all in the mind, or do real changes take place in the brain with the passing of time? the answer is that the brains cells, the neurons, decline and die with agehowever, according to professor arthur shimamura of the university of california, people vary greatly in how they change mentally with age, as well as how much their mental ability declinesthere are three main ways in which mental function changesthe first concerns speed, such as how quickly you can react to fast-moving incidents on the roaddrivers in their late teen react quickly but often drive too fast, while the over-60s are more careful but react more slowly. this type of mental slowing results from a reduction in the efficiency with which the brains neurons workthe fact that adults find it harder to learn musical instrument than children points to a second type of mental decline, the loss of learning ability with agethe part of the brain which is known to control new learning is particularly sensitive to the effects of agingthe means we have to depend more on diaries and other mental aids as we get older, take longer to learn a new language and are slower to master new things at work“working memory” is the third brain function that is sensitive to the effects of agingabsent-mindedness occurs at all ages because of imperfections in the working memory systemfor example, you may continually lose your glasses, or find yourself walking into a room of your house only to find that you cannot remember what you came forsuch absent-mindedness also occurs more often as we get olderhowever, evidence also shows that the principle “use it or lose it” applies to the aging brainprofessor shimamura studied a group of university professors who were still mentally active, and compared their performance on neuropsychological tests with that of others of their age group, as well as with younger peoplehe found that on several tests of memory, the mentally active professors in their 60s and early 70s performed better than those of the same age, and as well as the younger group47memory gets worse as people grow older because _ athe brain starts to produce too many neurons bcells in the brain stop the neurons from working cthe brains neurons dont work as well as before dwhen people get old, they complain too much48which of the following well-known sayings best expresses the idea of the third paragraph? aa bird in the hand is worth two in the bush byou cant teach an old dog new tricks cwhere theres a will, theres a way dits never too old to learn49we can conclude from shimamuras test on the professors that _ aactive minds might keep their memory better bmemory can improve with the time passing on call of the old people will suffer memory loss dthe principle “use it or lose it” is obviously wrong50this passage is mainly about _ ayouth and aging bproblems of getting old csecrets of a good memory daging and mental ability第四节 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? in medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.what should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? is it best to tell him the truth? if he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?doctors face such choices often. at times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.but other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. we are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.there is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may fin
