perhaps one day we will actually be able to arrange a meeting in person.”21what is this passage mainly about?ameeting an old friend. ba beautiful beer bottle.ctravelling on a ship. d message in a bottle.22when the german boy threw the bottle into the sea, _ahe was going back homebhe was already 29 years oldche was travelling to denmark by ship with his daddhe was walking with his parents on a beach23according to the text, which of the following statements is true?akorotkikhs parents still live in the town of coesfeld.bdaniil korotkikh and frank uesbeck have got in touch with each other.cfrank uesbeck and daniil korotkikh have met each other in person.dthe german boy did not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea.24why was uesbeck very happy when he got the information of the 24 years message bottle?abecause he could have a new friend.bbecause he could have a positive influence on a life of a young person.cbecause he finally got what he had lost.dbecause the two boys could surf the internet together.（ b ） across britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. but, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as 172,000 a year. the study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. this would make their yearly income 30,000 more than the prime minister earns. by analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. after questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm. to calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. being a part-time lawyer, at 48,98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second. it also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends. the study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on mothers day. the emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.25. how much would a mother earn a year if working as the prime minister?a. 30,000. b. 172,000. c.142,000. d. 202,000.26. the biggest challenge for most mothers is from .a. low pay for work b. emotional demandc. heavy workload d. lack of training27. what is stressed in the last paragraph?a. mothers importance shows in family all year long.b. the sacrifices(牺牲) mothers make are huge but worthwhile.c. mothers devotion to children can hardly be calculated（计算）.d. investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.28. what can we conclude from the study?a. mothers working hours should be largely reduced.b. mothers should balance their time for work and rest.c. mothers labour is of a higher value than it is realized.d. mothers should be freed from housework for social life. ( c )it was a friday night, and i had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of sedona.my faculty adviser(指导老师), bunny, approached me as i walked to my dorm room. she told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital.a strong smell of medicine brought an unpleasant feeling to my already turning stomach. my mothers room was right next to the nurses station. as i came into the room, i saw her lying on her side. she struggled to turn around ,but couldnt. i slowly crept(爬) to the other side of the bed and with calmness i said “hi”.gently holding my mothers hands, i tried to keep my composure. she was rolling her eyes and trying to tell me how much pain she was in. i turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. from that night on, my life completely changed. as my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk, my sense of priorities(优先) changed. in the past ,we had more than our share of the strains(紧张) of mother-daughter relationships. the accident threw us in a relationships of interdependence. we listened to each other, and truly enjoyed each others company. my mother needed me. my mother and i had faced death together, and life took on new meaning for both of us. it has been over two years since my mothers crash. i have grown more in that time than in all the years before. my mother has taught me a lot about parenthood: the worries, the protectiveness and, most of all, the sweetness of unconditional devotion and love.29.according to the text, the authors adviser told her that her mother_. a.needed to be taken to hospital right away b. had been badly injured in a car accident c. had suddenly became seriously ill d.needed to be operated on at once30.which word in the text can best replace the underlined word “composure” in the third paragraph? a. devotion. b. calmness. c. sense. d. company31. we can infer from the text that _. a.the author had got along well with her mother before the accident b.the author had suffered in a car accident, just like her mother c. the authors mother used to be very strict and uncaring d. the author began to share her innermost(内心的) feeling with her mother after the accident( d )we all like watching online videos (视频) of dogs and cats doing funny things. but if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you like better? your answer may show something about your personality (个性).according to a study led by sam gosling, a scientist at the university of texas, usa, dog people are about 15% more outgoing and 13% more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.this is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “cats will sometimes engage in games, but usually after only a few minutes, they will give up the game. dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in games, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said modern dog magazine.although cat people are less social, goslings study showed that they are 11% more open-minded than dog people. they usually like art, adventures and unusual ideas. they also have more imagination and curiosity. but dog people are more likely to keep traditional (传统的) beliefs and interests.however, their love of a free life style also means that cat people dislike making plans. they just follow whatever ideas come into their heads without planning ahead. but dog people are different. they usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.despite (尽管有) these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing and are generally optimists (乐天派),” said mother nature network. but can personality change? can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? in a study done by stanley coren, a scientist in canada, he asked cat owners: “if you had enough living space and there were no objections (反对) form other people in your life, and someone gave you a little dog as a gift, would you keep it?” about 68% of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. but when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten (小猫), almost 70% said they would allow a little cat into their lives.32. according to the article, dog people _ than cat people.a. are better at math in school b. are more open-mindedc. have more imagination d. are more traditional 33. the underlined phrase “engage in” in paragraph 3 probably means_.a. take little interest in b. take part in c. benefit from d. suffer from 34. what do cat people and dog people have in common?a. both of them like planning ahead b. both of them love travelling and adventuresc. both of them care about nature. d. both of them are imaginative and curious 35. what can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?a. dog people are more likely to make a change to accept cats into their homes.b. cat people are more likely to become dog people.c. neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet.d. you can never find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change.第二节:七选五（每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。how can we all get more laughter into our lives?
