A Several months ago, one of my customers sent us a special request for 4 books I felt everyone must read in his or her lifetime. I hope you enjoy my suggestions. 2666 by Roberto Bolano Completed in 2003 shortly before his death, 2666 is not only Roberto Bolanos master-piece but one of the finest and most important novels of the 21st century. Its an entire world filled with horror and beauty. 2666 combines different styles to create an unforgettable work of contemporary fiction. All about Love by Bell HooksWere taught to think of love as something that happens to us. its a magical but altogether passive experience. In her deeply personal books, All about Love claims that, in fact, love is a choice we must all make. The book not only explores the role of love in our lives, but guides us toward a better understanding of how to cultivate it. If youve ever wondered why some relationships stand the test of time while others dont, you should read this book. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro This is the kind of book that captures you so completely that you find yourself reading it at work. Its a story about youth, freedom and other good stuff-too much more about the plot might take something away from the magical experience of reading it. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak We all hold our favorite childhood books dear, but theres a reason why Where the Wild Things Are is one of the most beloved picture books of all time. Of course its about Maurice Sendaks imagination including his detailed illustrations, the beauty of a night of wild things. But mostly I think underneath the boundless, beautiful world, we can see and rememberexactly what it is to be a child from the book.21. If the marriage between Mary and Jack broke up, they are most likely to choose A. 2666 B. All about Love C. Never Let Me Go D. Where the Wild Things Are22. What can we learn from the passage?A. 2666 is a film filled with horror and beauty.B. All about Love only explores the role of love.C. Never Let Me Go is intended to be read at work.D. Where the Wild Things Are reminds you of your childhood.23. What is the author most probably?A. A bookstore manager. B. A customer of a bookstore.C. A reader making a special request. D. A writer who writes the four books. BMy first memory of volunteering was when I was 7 years old. I still recall that day: it was warm but breezy, everyone was in a good mood, and we finished ahead of schedule. Certainly, I was too young to do any heavy lifting, but I remember feeling a wave of emotion when we completed the project.To now, Im still addicted to that feeling. I still love giving back to the place I now call home, the San Francisco Bay Area. Many animals shelters in California lack staff, including the City of Stockton Animal Shelter. My background is in marketing, and in my spare time, I act as webmaster to keep their website up to date.And with a love for animals, I recently just started at Rabbit Rescue as a rabbit socializer! I spend 2 hours a week hanging out with rabbits to make them perfect pets. From just sitting with them to get them used to humans or playing with them to give them exercise, it is the perfect excuse to get out and help animals in need!As you can tell, I have a soft spot for animals. Even as a young child, I wanted to be the voice for them. As I grew older and gained more professional talents, skilled volunteering is where I found the greatest reward when using my marketing skills for good and playing with rabbit-now thats volunteer heaven!Many people do not want to bring work home. But what if you were using your”work” to help a cause! That is why I think skilled volunteering is so important. Countless nonprofit organizations do not have the budget to hire for every skill. With skilled volunteering, professionals can set aside a few hours a month for specific tasks like graphic designing and accounting. Next time youre looking for a volunteer job, consider using your professional skills to make a different!24. We can learn from the first paragraph that .A. The writer finished the work on scheduleB. The first memory of volunteering is still freshC. The writer was old enough to lift heavy thingsD. It was rather cold on the first day of his volunteering25. In his free time, the writer .A. Works as a web professional B. Learns marketing C. looks for workers D. works as a rabbit socializer26. In the writers eyes, he can find the greatest reward from A training rabbits B. helping animals C. professional talents D. skilled volunteering27. In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us A the ways to become a skilled volunteer B. the importance of skilled volunteering C. how to spend our spare timeD. how to use skills to make a difference C Park Hee-jung, a 34-year-old researcher, took an 11-day holiday in May to travel with his girlfriend-a relatively long vacation for many South Koreans who remain world champion workaholics. It was so good to take a long vacation but I am stressed out again because of the mountains of work, says Mr Park. The company encourages us to take annual holidays allowed but there are not many people who take them all. Mr Park is one of the countrys younger generation seeking a work-life balance but even he usually takes up less than half of his allocated annual holidays. He is not alone.Workers in South Korea-home to the longest working hours and highest suicide rate in the developed world-took just 8. 6 days of holidays last year on average, the lowest among the 24 nations surveyed by online travel agency Expedia, compared with the global average of 20. 5 days and the Frances 30. 7 days. Heavy workloads and pressure from superiors have made South Koreans reluctant holidaymakers but there are growing signs that this culture may be changing with big Korean companies encouraging staff to take more time off to promote productivity and creativity, advocated by a government campaign to develop tourism in an attempt to improve depressing domestic spending. Samsung Electronics is one of the latest. It follows some other companies such as Doosan, SK Energy, S-Oil and Shinhan Bank that have instituted a compulsory annual two-week holiday. In a knowledge-based economy, longer working hours do not necessarily mean higher efficiency, says Kim Pan-jung. a director at the Korea Employers Federation. We need innovative ideas to add value, so more companies are encouraging their workers to recharge through longer leave. 28. According to the passage, overwork most probably leads to . A. high efficiency B. a low suicide rate C. high stress D. a work-life balance29. We can know from the second paragraph that .A. Mr Park likes travelling B. few people take annual holidays all C. Companies prevent people from taking holidays D. taking a trip will make people feel good all the time30. Korean companies encourage staff to take more time off mainly to A. get workers relaxed and happy B. increase spending C. make work efficient and effective D develop tourism31. What can we learn from what Kim Pan-jung said? A. The longer hours we work, the more efficient we are. B. Creative ideas cant make people produce more value. C. Companies, like Doosan, follow the act of Samsung Electronics.D. People who take holidays may feel refreshed and more creative. D One of the reasons why we use pillows has something to do with the complicated relationship between our heads, necks and spines (脊柱). When a person is walking upright during the day, the head and neck are held in a vertical line. During sleep, however, many of these muscles relax, causing the head to fall backward or forwards. This places additional stress on the neck muscles and spine. which in turn causes stiffness （僵硬) in the back muscles and spines. The solution to this painful situation is to raise the head and neck until they are back in a line with spine, regardless of sleep position. The easiest way to achieve this is to use a pillow so that the head, neck and spine remain at an angle properly. When they are back in a line, a person should be able to breathe easier and improve circulation. There are different forms of supportive pillows. For example, a neck pillow can provide additional support while you are resting. Some users find an improperly sized neck pillow can cause their head to fall too far forward, affecting breathing and creating more pressure on the back of the neck or upper back. Historically. the first cloth pillows were enjoyed almost merely by royal families and other wealthy citizens. Lower-class citizens may have old-fashioned pillows from straw, but more likely they used their own arms to provide support while they slept. Widespread use of pillows was not possible until the Industrial Revolution made the production of cloth an affordable reality. However, certain ancient cultures did not use pillows made from soft cloth. Pillows were often carved from stone or wood, which could not claim comfort. Thankfully, modern pillows are filled with feathers and many other soft materials, The trick is to find appropriate pillows to achieve an ideal line for a comfortable nights sleep.32. The underlined word vertical in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“ ”. A. perfect B. full up C. straight up D. special33. A pillow during sleep is to help people . A. adjust their sleeping time B. achieve a proper sleeping angle C. breathe more quickly D. improve the blood pressure34. It can be inferred from the passage that . A the comfort of a neck pillow largely depends on its size B. only royal families could afford cloth pillows in the past C. Pillows werent used until the Industrial Revolution D. the first pillows in history were made from wood or stone35. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us . A. the evolution of pillows B. why people use pillowsC. how to make comfortable pillows D. the advantages of pillows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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With all the pressure of life, relaxing your mind can be difficult.
