Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. 21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right 23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”BIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apples case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator (参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that ones personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and thats exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “Im optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If its not changed, then well turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesnt work then well consider legislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant (警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.24. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _.A. to urge them not to invade consumers privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.25.

Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.CWhen we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind. Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2020 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.28. The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to _.A. compare Ebola with cancerB. show the latest study of virusesC. make a brief summaryD. introduce the topic of the text29. What can we learn about Ebola?A. It was named after where it first happened.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.D. It is a newly discovered virus.30. What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?A. What the Ebola virus is.B. How the Ebola virus spreads.C. The influences of Ebola.D. The treatments for Ebola.31. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.D. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.DOn an elementary school playground, hundreds of children run and jump, smiling and laughing as they play. Watching sea otters (海獭) playing in their own environment is like watching children at play. Sea otters, which are presently on the endangered species list, are a joy to watch and, fortunately, are experiencing an increase in population.Groups of sea otters live on the shores of the North Pacific Ocean. They are seldom found far from land but spend almost their entire lives at sea. The otter has been known to dive as deep as 180 feet and stay underwater as long as four minutes. Each day the sea otter eats as much as one-fifth of its body weight in fish or shellfish.Not only are sea otters playful, they are also amazingly resourceful. Their favorite food, abalone（鲍鱼）, is protected by a thick shell sea otters are unable to break with their teeth. Sea otters use stones from the ocean floor and break the abalone open on their bellies(肚子) as they move slowly across the surface of the water on their backs, a behavior that makes them one of only a few animals on Earth, including human beings, to use tools! Their intelligence is also displayed while sleeping, in order not to move into dangerous waters, sea otters actually cover themselves with plants in the sea, which keep them in place before falling asleep.Because sea otters have a special means of keeping insulated (隔热的), they can keep their body heat in their cold environment. They have unbelievably fine fur that traps tiny air bubbles, and that keeps them comfortable when warmed by body heat, however, their fur loses this insulating quality if it becomes dirty.Sea otters have faced dangers from hunters in the past and from oil spills more recently. Fortunately, due to a 1911 agreement and to rescue and habitat protection efforts, the sea otter population has nearly recovered.32. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about sea otters .A. appearance B. living habits C. economic value D. living environment33. The underlined word “resourceful” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A. beautiful B. energetic C. careful D. smart34. What can be inferred about sea otters fur?A. It consists of tiny air bubbles.B. It has a layer of insulating water bubbles.C. It keeps sea otters warm only when its clean.D. It becomes dirty easily in the cold environment.35. We learn from the text that sea otters .A. mostly stay on the landB. like sleeping among stonesC. are increasing in population againD. usually hide themselves under plants in the sea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。Why should we get an education?Education is the process of learning and knowing, which is not limited to our school textbooks.
