johnthe 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症)unable to speak，he withdrew from people at school and，worse still，from his familyin march 2003，miller was introduced to jeff hancock，a one-on-one therapist(治疗师)for people with autismhancock was hired to be johns companionthe two would go people-watching at the mall in stuart，florida, on the weekendshancock chatted throughout their trips，even though john couldnt talk back their relationship developed when hancock introduced john to the special olympics in martin countywhenever john was running or being active，he was smilingwhen john turned 12，hancock introduced him to track at the special olympicsfor the first three years，the pair just observed the sport by watching practices and eventshancock worked daily with john，showing him everything，including where to sit，stand and walk，so he would understand the flow of the events in may 2014，johns training brought him to the special olympics state summer games in orlandothe 18-year-old was competing in the 800 meters and the 110-meter hurdles as the 800 was setting up，miller remembered，she pressed her face against the fence，anxiously waiting for john to competebut as soon as the race started，her fears melted away, and all miller saw was an athlete，her athlete“i just wanted to see the best performanceit seemed much more significant than whether he would ever speak or respond to me，”she said john ended up winning the gold medal for the 800sports completely changed john，and miller said that is because of hancock“a person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated(孤独的)，and i think that can happen to parents，toojeff probably saw that with us，”miller said，thinking back to when hancock first met their family21the first paragraph mainly tells us _.ahow rachel miller felt 12 years agobwhy john became disabledcthat john wasnt willing to communicate dwhen john became seriously disabled22how did jeff hancock help john?aby encouraging him

the 800 meters , miller felt_.adelighted b. curious cfearful dconfused24what can be the best title for the text?aa disabled boy with autismbdisabled boy turning running championca one-to-one therapist da special olympic games bcan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog and dogs can learn how to talk cat. whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. the significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.25. some cats and dogs may fight when _. a. they misunderstood each others signals b. they look away from each other c. they are cold to each other d. they are introduced at an early age26. what is found surprising about cats and dogs? a. they eat and sleep each other. b. they learn to speak each others language. c. they observe each others behaviors. d. they know something from each others voices.27. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _. a. have common interests b. have a common body language c. are less different than was thought d. are less intelligent than was expected28. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? a. we should live in peace with animals. b. we should know more about animals. c. we should learn to live in harmony. d. we should learn more body languages.ca new survey conducted by the national geographic society (ngs) shows that although consumers in many countries are adopting environmentally-friendly behavior, others live in wasteful cultures of consumption.the 2014 online survey of 18,000 people in 18 countries judged environmental attitudes and habits and their sustainability when it came to housing, transportation, food and consumer goods. 1.some consumer behavior is improving. in half the countries surveyed, people acted in more environmentally-friendly ways than they had in 2012. for example, russians are using more public transportation and british consumers are buying more green electricity. but some countries reported that peoples habits were less sustainable than in the previous survey. around 68 percent of germans drink bottled water daily, and canadians are among the most likely to own at least two cars or trucks.2. anxiety about the environment is growing. a slim majority of consumers 51 percent agree that global warming will negatively affect their own lives. latin americans are the most concerned, with more than three in four brazilians convinced that climate change will impact them personally.3. americans resist going green. nearly one in four american households owns four or more tvs. americans are also among the most likely to avoid paying extra for environmentally-friendly products, and they consume more packaged and processed food than people in most other countries. and since the 2012 survey, more americans are saying that they view owning a big house as an important goal in their lives. 4. the least green feel the least guilt.as in past surveys, the worst offenders express the least guilt about the size of their environmental footprint. british, german and swedish consumers not only feel the least regret but also are the most likely say they wont change their ways.5. repairing, reusing and recycling are on the rise.majorities in 17 of the 18 countries say theyd rather repair than replace a broken item, with chinese and german consumers the most likely to fix something and japanese consumers the least likely. american and french consumers are the most likely to buy used items; canadian, british, and australian consumers are the biggest recyclers. 29. the authors purpose in mentioning germans is _. a. to say that drinking bottled water is not environmentally-friendly at allb. to point out that bottled water is a less sustainable productc. to emphasize that germans should change their habitsd. to explain that people in some countries have some less sustainable habits30. which of the following is true about the survey results?a. japanese consumers are among the biggest recyclers.b. the majority of brazilians believe climate change will affect their lives.c. chinese and canadian consumers like to repair broken items.d. used items are popular with french and british consumers.31. what can we learn about americans from the passage?a. three in four american families dont have tv sets.b. many of them dream of owning a big house. c. they think green products are too expensive.d. they prefer packaged and processed food to health food. d nearly two-thirds of u. s. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the american pet products association. the number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market, said peter harrop, chairman of idtechex, a technology market research firm. i m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we cant imagine. already, there are devices that let your pets call you (petchatz) , play games and win treats when theyre home alone (cleverpet) and even speak with a human voice (petspeak). the petzi treatcam lets anne ryan check on her dogs oscar and reggie at her berkeley home when she s working in san francisco or traveling out of state. the internet-connected device lets her see her dogs, talk to them, take photos and even dispense(分发) treats-using an app on her phone. i turn it on, get to see them, get to talk to them and it changes my mood, and puts me back in a positive frame, said ryan said. i didnt know that i needed it , but now i dont think that i could live without it. the petzi treatcam was created by san jose-based petzila, which was founded by two veteran technology executives who wanted to get their pets online. the startup also created a social media app that lets owners share pet photos. whistle, a new san francisco company, sells the pet tracker that alerts owners when their pets have left their safe zone and helps find them if they get lost. the device also lets owners track how much exercise and sleep their animals are getting. but as more pet-tech gadgets come to market, experts caution owners against relying on them too much. the technology can be useful as an adjunct(附属物) , a way of enriching your relationship with your pet, but certainly not a substitute for time spent with your dog, said pamela wyman, who runs the dogevolve training school in oakland.32. why is the technology linked to pets warmly welcomed? a. more and more women work outside. b. more and more pets are raised now. c. the devices are becoming cheaper.d. people dislike looking after their pets themselves.33. how did anne ryan feel after using the petzi treatcam? a. annoyed. b. tired. c. worried. d. relieved.34. which of the following can help owners find their missing pets? a. petchatz. b. the petzi treatcam. c. the pet tracker. d. cleverpet.35. what does pamela wyman think of the pet-related technology? a. it can help pet owners to raise their pets.b. it can replace pet owners entirely. c. it is not good for pet owners to use.d. it can improve family relationship.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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。with these body language tricks to use at work, you can increase your popularity at the office.keep your voice
