He answered that it was for his daughter. “ Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride

22、on my motorbike with me?He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this.He thought about it for a second and said,“ OK, as long as I can follow you.”He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat.Her father followed me for a fewmiles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted f

As we came back to theconvenience store, she said,“ This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive.I have beenin a wheelchair my whole life and didn't know I could do this.” I told her abhoeurt some of the otthings I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.).As her f

24、ather was taking her off my bike, she turnedto him and said, “ Oh Daddy, I'm going to be OK.Mr.Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said,“ I was sittinghere praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage

29、those who have to squeeze onto the number25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almostevery American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban popul

30、ations and employment.Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it

31、was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing

32、new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters（滑板车）and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered "e-bikes", both of which are spreading.Transport agencies

33、should accept the upstarts, and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between pub

34、lic and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sw

35、eet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.28. What is the change in public transport in big cities?A.

38、genciesC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firmsDWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does you r pers

39、onality have on your longevity （长寿） ? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study 'in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study show

40、s that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic （神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and 第5页共13页cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutiona

41、ry theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-di

42、sciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a

43、longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother ' personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian

44、mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we' readults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isn ' destiny, a

45、nd everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn' t justyour physical health but of your mental health.32. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is. A. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeB .to

46、find out if one' s lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to see whether people ' s personality affects their life span D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A. They are more likely to get over hardship

47、.B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They generally appear more resourceful.D. They have a good understanding of evolution.34. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation ? A. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times. B. Eas

48、y-going people can also live a relatively long life.C. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.D. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.35.W hat can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A. Anxiety and depression more often than n

49、ot cut short one' s life span.B. Health is in -large part related to one' s lifestyle.C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D. Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.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。A volunteering

50、 vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the ideal vacation:36 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close t

51、o your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 37Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be

52、 more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. If Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree-planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 38Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate appealing, or do you prefer being

53、 in an air-conditioned office?Ask the right questions. 39 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a weeklong commitment. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of

54、 your efforts? 40 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too.A. Figure out your cause.B. Find a well-respected organization.C. And think about the surroundings you want.D. Your duty there is to help, as well as to rest and relax.E. The more you know about your trip,

55、 the more successful it will be.F. Despite the word "volunteer", these vacations usually cost you some money.G. If you' re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ A, B, C, D ）中，选出可以
