Through gaps(缝隙) of those ruins，the rescuers could see her last posture(姿势)It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing(叩头)，but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using various tools，but no reply inside.Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back，calling “Come here.” He came to the body，put his hands under the woman，feeling and touching，then shouted loudly and gladly，“There is someone，a baby，still living.”Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby，who was covered by a small red quilt(棉被)He was about 3 or 4 months old. Since well protected by his mothers body，he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor，along with the rescuing team，took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen；a written message was already there：“My dear baby if you could live，dont forget how much I love you. “As a doctor，he experienced much of this type of separation；but at this moment，he cried. The mobile phone was passed，and every person who saw this message shed(流出) tears.24When the rescuers found the mom，she Awas using her mobile phone to ask for help.Bbegged the rescuers to save her baby first.Cdidnt have the normal shape.

But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work，and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，”said Peter Andrew，Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence，social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts，business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific，Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states，“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobsjust changing what people do. “Growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowhow will directly challenge big companies，”it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create”，according to Aaron Smith，the reports coauthor.“Technology will continue to affect jobs，but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people，when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，”Microsofts Jonathan Grudin told researchers.28What is the first paragraph mainly about?AThe result of job reduction. BThe fast development of AI.CThe influence of technology on jobs. DThe future life of elderly people. 29What will people most probably do in the future?ATake the place of AI. BWork in a traditional way.CEnjoy life without working anymore. DTake up jobs requiring creativity. 30What can be known from Grudins words in the last paragraph?AMore jobs tend to appear in the future. BJob unemployment will stay high. CJob competition is likely to grow fiercer. DTechnology will have less control over jobs.31What is the best title for the text?AThe Requirements for Future Jobs BAre People Losing Their Jobs? C.The Challenging Life in the Future. DDoes Technology Simplify Everything?DSome years ago，a 28yearold Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water drinking contest that was held by a local radio show. Called “Hold Your Wee For A Wii”，the contest organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom. The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. When she and other participants complained of discomfort and showed signs of pains，they were laughed at by the organizers.This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health.Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume (容量)And since your blood volume exists within a closed system，increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels (血管)Your kidneys (肾) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system. Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes. Flushing more water through your kidneys doesnt necessarily help it become cleaner. Rather，your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time. And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage.Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process. For the average person，it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists，as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a moment-to-moment basis. But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term.32Why is the Californian woman mentioned?ATo tell us a tragic news story about a mother.BTo tell us it can be dangerous to take part in contests.CTo tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.DTo lead to the topic of the text.33When the participants showed signs of pains，the organizers Adidnt pay much attention to them. Bbecame very concerned. Cwere laughed at by others. Dtried to reduce their pains. 34Whats the main idea of Paragraph 3?AHow water is consumed in our body.BThe importance of water to our health.CWhy drinking too much water is dangerous.DThe function of kidneys in consuming water.35The stress caused by consuming unnecessary water Aisnt that dangerous. Bcan never be found out.Cleads to some obvious symptoms. Dis really harmful in the long run. 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入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you have a spare room in your house? Do you like to share your driveway in front of your garage with others? 36 Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.Perhaps the best known example of a company in this field is Airbnban American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34，000 cities and it has 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments. 37 A British company is doing something with parking spaces. Just Parks founder，Anthony Eskinazi，says，“When I had the original idea，I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park.” 38 Around 20，000 people have advertised their spaces on the website，and he says around half a million drivers use it.39 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks. They are afraid of ending up losing money.40 Regulations for these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor? Because this is a new business world，those rules arent there yet.ABoth of these can help you make money.BThey seem to have occupied the majority of the market.CThere are many ways to earn money.DBut the new business of renting has its competitors.EAnd his great idea has proved a success.FAnd there is another problem. GA commercial car park is inconvenient.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Have you ever travelled around by bike？This spring my older brother and I 41 the busy city and spent a long weekend 42 in the countryside.
