Dale became fearful of going anywhere alone or of being alone as some of his seizures(发作) were quite severe, even putting him in the hospital on three separate occasions.We decided that a trained medical service dog would greatly help Dale. It would be a companion for Dale, and the dog would be trained to stay with him. If he had a seizure, with a service dog beside a downed person, others could see and will be more likely to help.A local person sold us a black Labrador puppy at a reduced price. Nevaeh was eight weeks old when we got her. At that point, we turned to the local papers for help. We hoped that getting Dales story out would help raise funds to pay for the puppys training. Dale has been on disability, and his need to have someone with him at all times means I can not work either. We dont have a lot of money left over at the end of the month.Fundraising started off with the help of family donations, but we had a long way to go. Then one day there was a knock at the door. I went to answer it; a stranger stood there holding the newspaper article about Dale in her hand. She introduced herself as June and told me that her daughters dog had warned her of a cancer she never knew she had, probably saving her life. Now, she felt obliged to help our dog because a dog had helped her. She shocked us when she gave us $100! We never expected such caring and kindness from a complete stranger.Dale had been feeling the world didnt care, but this help renewed his faith. The next thing that happened was that Dale emailed local vets, asking for care for our puppy. We received a response from Dr. Noonan, who has since provided Nevaehs care for free. The staff and the vet are the most loving, caring people we have met. They even helped us find a local trainer who cut the training costs by more than half. If it werent for such amazing people, Dale probably would have become a total recluse, feeling he could never go anywhere alone.41Why did the couple think a medical service dog would be of great help?AIt could accompany Dale, and when a seizure came, it could attract people to help.BIt could accompany Dale, and in a seizure, it could save Dale. CPeople are more likely to save a person if he is a dog lover.DDale would not be so lonely, and would get well again soon.42What made Dale gain confidence again?AGetting a service dog.BA lady offered an amount of money to him.CThe vets offered to help.DHis being able to go anywhere.43Why did the couple think the staff and the vet are the most loving, caring people they have met?AThey provided the puppys care for free.BThey trained the puppy for the couple.CThey provided the puppys care for free and cut the training cost by half. DThey not only provided the puppys care for free but also found a trainer with less than half the cost.44What does the underlined sentence “She felt obliged to help”mean?AShe felt it a duty to help. BShe felt she was forced to help.CShe felt willing to help. DShe felt grateful to help.45What is the purpose of writing this passage?ATo show how important a good service dog is.BTo show a united family is important.CTo show thanks to those kind people.DTo encourage people not to give up.BForgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesnt matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Instead, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. 46. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear _. A. by raising his own examples. B. based on his own experience. C. by mentioning some studies. D. by mentioning some typical patients.47. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to_. A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health. B. introduce a famous expert. C. let the reader know the different colours of cartoon faces. D. show how to control ones temper.48. The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“_”. A. removing. B. keeping up. C. getting rid of. D. learning about.49. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. People who are able to forgive feel less stress.B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.50. The best title for this passage is probably _. A. Forgiveness. B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health.C. A Secret to Keeping Health. D. Anger Is Bad for Health.CIf women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability(不稳定)? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.51. Designers and big stores always make money _. A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry.B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions.C. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing.D. because they always improve quality of womens clothing.52. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _. A. a quality of instability. B. a waste of time.C. an expression of taste. D. an expression of creativity.53. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _ of clothing. A. cost B. appearance C. comfort D. suitability54. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.B. The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.55. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that _. A. womens changeableness in their choice of clothing is often laughed at.B. women are better able to put up with discomfort.C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers.D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。阅读选项A到F六则广告和第56至第60题中的个人情况说明，选出符合个人意向的最佳选项，并填在题目后的横线上，选项中有一项是多余选项。RestaurantSupervisorWaiting StaffThe ideal candidates must have relevant experiences gained in a high quality hotel.
