The passage is probably taken from a(n) .A. sports magazine B. travel guide C. history bookD. websiteBAs a mother of three children, Drew Ann Long is very familiar with the nightmare when she went grocery shopping with her kids. And because her daughter has special needs, she faces additional challenges: How do you keep a shopping cart and a wheelchair going at the same time through the crowded aisles of a supermarket while also paying attention to your children? Tired of this exhausting experience, Long came up with a clever solution: Carolines Cart.Named after Longs daughter, Carolines cart is simple: Replace the tiny seat in standard shopping carts with a larger more secure seat that is big enough and accessible enough for people of all ages and disabilities. Besides, the wheels on it are more flexible than those on traditional shopping carts and can be easily controlled through a button installed near the handle.“It was specifically designed for older children and adults with disabilities,” Long says. Once children get older, they can no longer fit into what retailers (supermarkets) provide at present. Carolines Cart is for children that dont walk and have low muscle tone and anyone that needs further assistance while in the store.Now it is available at many major retailers across the country and even in Australia, seniors, as well as anyone with injuries, are taking advantage of Carolines Cart, too.“Carolines Cart helps a lot. Thats what families want,” Long says, “We have it in our schools, and we want it in our communities.”And thats exactly what her hard work has given her, as well as thousands of other families around the world.25. Which of the following statements about Carolines Cart is true?A. Carolines Cart is named after its inventor.B. Carolines Cart has been put into use in Australia.C. The making of Carolines Cart takes time and is quite complex.D. Carolines Cart is designed for children and adults with disabilities.26. We can learn from the passage that .A. shopping with kids used to be a terrible experience for LongB. Long had to work hard to support her family and three childrenC. Long worked out the idea of Carolines Cart with her daughters helpD. retailers usually provide carts that meet the needs of different children27. Which is the best title for the text?A. Kids with Special NeedsB. Instructions for Carolines Cart C. Shopping with KidsWhat Fun!D. A Clever InventionCarolines CartCDenmark is, and always has been, a small country. Perhaps that is why the Danes have always needed to look beyond their borders and engage with the outside world it was a matter of survival. By tradition, the Danish economy has been open and this is of great advantage in a world that is becoming increasingly globalized. While some European countries struggle against globalization and attempt to protect their national interests, Danish business people have long been used to wheeling and dealing with the outside world.Doing business in Denmark is simple and straightforward. Corruption doesnt exist. The rules are transparent and easy to understand, and there is very little bureaucracy (官僚主义) compared to other countries. For example, it takes just one single day to register a new company. Foreigners are sometimes astonished when Danish business people care so little about formalities and get straight to the point. This directness is common in Denmark and is not meant to be rude.Danes are very proud of their tendency to take figures of authority with a pinch of salt. The education system puts emphasis on independence and critical analysis and this means that Danes work independently and are not afraid to take responsibility. They also make great team players. Workers are on first-name terms with their bosses and business ranks are flatter than in other countries.Danes make good businessmen and are great at finding suitable positions, both at home and abroad. They are, on the whole, very good at getting the utmost (最大的) out of innovative ideas. Danes warmth for good design can be seen in their homes high quality might cost a lot but they are willing to pay the price.28. The Danish economy benefits a lot from globalization in that .A. Denmark is a small country yet with a large populationB. the Danes show willingness to accept the outside worldC. the Danes keep their national interests from being harmedD. the Danish economy is stronger than other European countries29. According to the passage, we know .A. Danes can design homes of high quality with a low costB. workers and bosses in Denmark get along on an unequal basisC. Danish dislike beating around the bush when doing businessD. foreigner businessmen could be cheated by Danes unless careful30. The underlined word in paragraph 3 probably means .A. loose B. clearC. different D. changeable31. The purpose of writing this passage is to .A. compare business rules in Denmark and European countriesB. show the importance of globalization for the Danish economyC. introduce some leading figures in the Danish education systemD. provide some basic information about Denmark and its peopleDScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist (抗拒) the temptation.Brooks gained fame from several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science disclosed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry description of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So, as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if uninspiring. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. There, they partly involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.32. The functions of science are mentioned at the beginning to .A. show where science can be appliedB. introduce the value of Brookss new bookC. remind readers of the important roles of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works33. According to the passage, Brookss latest book .A. tries to avoid weighty topics in some wayB. touches upon romance between charactersC. tells a series of facts based on scientific theoriesD. is not so serious and ambitious as his earlier works34. What is the writers general attitude towards the book?A. Cautious. B. Indifferent (漠不关心的).C. Supportive. D. Critical.35. What will be probably talked about in the following paragragh?A. Brookss difficult life.B. Death of the characters.C. Weaknesses of the book.D. Brookss translation skills.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处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。You spent many nights burning the midnight oil. In the end, you still did not make it.
