First let me tell you something about guide dogs.In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind. The doctor went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out more about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote about it in a magazine. Soon more people knew about the guide dogs.The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than 2 years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practice for 4 weeks.Have I made myself clear? OK, lets go on visiting.第二部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AAccount Manager (Sales)Company Name：Hiap Moh (H.K.)Co.LimitedThe main business of Hiap Moh is paper merchanting.We are now hiring a talented Account Manager (Sales)Requirements：Minimum two years of sales experience.Proven sales records and achievements.Strong communication and interpersonal skills.To apply for this position，please email your detailed resume to .sg.Senior ELT Editor (Preschool)Company Name：Educational Publishing Hse LtdWe are a dynamic and innovative (创新的) educational publisher specializing in highquality school textbooks，supplementary books，teaching resources and multimedia products.Requirements：The university degree in English，Linguistics or a related subject.6 years or above of editorial/teaching experience.Excellent written and spoken English.Please send your full resume by email to .School NurseCompany Name：Hong Kong International SchoolHong Kong International School (HKIS) offers a coeducational program for students from preK to 12 (aged 418)The school nurse is to manage the health office to ensure the health and safety of students by providing immediate medical care and accurate management of medication.Requirements：Registered Nurse.CPR/First Aid Certification and certified CPR/First Aid Trainer.Experience as a school nurse.Interested parties should apply by sending your resume to .hk.Professional Consultant (Closing date：June 13，2019)Company Name：The Chinese University of Hong KongRequirements：An MBA degree or a higher degree in marketing or a related field.Professional experience in marketing.Relevant teaching/training experience in tertiary institutions.Applicants may fax their full resume to (852) 26961462.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几则招聘广告的信息。21To apply for the position of Senior ELT Editor，you need to_Ahave a good master of EnglishBhave experience in tertiary institutionsCknow about the history of the companyDhave at least two years of teaching experienceA解析：细节理解题。根据第二则招聘广告的要求可知，这个职位要求有出色的英语技能，故选A。22Which of the following is commonly required by the four companies?AAge.BThe university degree.CExperience.DInterpersonal skills.C解析：细节理解题。根据每则广告下的Requirements的内容可知，这几则招聘广告都要求有工作经验，故选C。23If you have an MBA degree and some professional experience in marketing，which of the following jobs will you apply for?ASchool Nurse.BSenior ELT Editor.CProfessional Consultant.DAccount Manager (Sales)C解析：细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，几则招聘广告中只有Professional Consultant要求MBA文凭及专业的营销经验。BBeethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf, but surely even he would be impressed with this piece of research.A group led by BCI expert Gernot MllerPutz shows that experiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCI. Based on an established BCI method which mainly enables disabled people to write, the team has developed a new application by which music can be composed and transferred (转录) onto a musical score (乐谱)，just through the power of thought. All you need is a special cap which measures brain waves, the adapted BCI, a kind of software for composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described: various options, such as letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after the other in a table. If youve received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about the chosen option.18 test people had to “think” melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional knowledge. Following usercentered design guidelines, researchers investigated (调查) the efficiency, the effectiveness and the subjective criteria. The subjective criteria evaluation revealed that users were highly satisfied with the application. “The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And what is more important: the test people enjoyed it. The very positive results of the study with bodily healthy test people are the first step in a possible expansion of the BCI composition to patients，” stresses MllerPutz.“20 years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power of the mind was unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications.”【解题导语】本文主要介绍了运用BCI谱曲的研究。24What do we know about the new application?AIt consists of four parts.BIts impractical for daily use.CIts based on a new method.DIts hard for users to handle.B解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications.”可推知，此项应用技术还不足以应用于日常生活中，故选B。25What should the test subjects do during the test?AWatch a screen attentively.BListen to the composed melodies.CMake options by moving their eyes.DRecord their feelings while composing.A解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“If youve received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves.”可推知，参与测试的人在测试中应集中注意力看屏幕，故选A。26What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AThe test. BThe musical score.CThe study. DThe BCI application.D解析：代词指代题。根据第四段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是这种新的应用的测试及反馈，由此可推知，画线词it指代的是这种新的应用，故选D。27Who will benefit most from the new application?ABCI experts. BDisabled musicians.CMusic studios. DLearners of music.B解析：推理判断题。根据第一段，并结合全文内容可推知，本文所介绍的这种新的应用会使那些像贝多芬一样残疾的音乐人受益，故选B。CThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as its for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了幽默、大笑和玩耍给人们的健康带来的好处。28What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?APlaying an important role.BKeeping people in high spirits.CQuickly influencing other people.DPreventing illness from spreading.C解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段第四句“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.”可知，当人们分享笑容时，人们的关系更亲密，人们也会更加快乐。故infectious在此处意思为迅速影响其他人。29What can laughter increase according to the author?ACognitive ability.BGood relationships.CA sense of humor.DHappiness and trust.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.”可知，在作者看来大笑能使人们之间的关系更亲密。30What does the author think the old should do?AThey should have a good rest.BThey should play like children.CThey should prevent cognitive falling.DThey should take part in physical play.D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as its for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.”可知，作者认为老年人应该参与身体活动。31Which of the following would be the best title for the text?AHumor, Laughter and Play for HealthBAlways Keep Our Body HealthyCHave an Active and Happy LifeDLet Our Body and Mind RelaxA解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段“Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.”可知，这篇文章的主旨是幽默、大笑和玩耍有利于健康。DThe World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year. Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cookstoves in the home. To help fight the problem, the WHO announced new guidelines aimed at reducing household pollutants.WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple coal cookstoves. WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease. The main victims are women and girls in developing countries, where they usually stay at home and do the household work.Carlos Dora is coordinator in the WHOs Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene (煤油) fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not improve the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cookstoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.WHO experts note some new, safe and lowcost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction (电磁感应) stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1. But, this, the agency says
