11、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分） Making employees feel happy and healthy at work is good for many businesses. But it isnt always an easy thing. A study suggests that only 33% of the U. S. employees consider themselves fully engaged （投身于）in work, while 16% are greatly disengaged, and 51% are just showing up.Bu

12、t there is an exception. When it comes to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small companies are doing better. According to the same research, the largest U. S. companies are at the lowest levels of engagement, while companies with fewer than 25 employees are at the highest. And in one

13、recent report, 75% of small business workers surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small company employee.Unlike big companies, small companies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there.

Employees of small companies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work.But of course ? there are many other draws in small businesses.

This could be something small that reflects employees interests and lifestyles.While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems,

16、small companies may do something to improve it. “It may be impossible for a five-person team to be reduced to four for six months,” writes Camillia Velasquez, head of HR management platform, Justworks. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a work-from-home enviro

22、ese form components of a healthy social-emotional development. Young children develop their social-emotional skills through practice and small steps over time.As parents or caregivers, it is fairly simple to support your childs social-emotional skills. Acts like holding him, touching him, and speaki

24、h other children. Becoming easily angry or not empathizing (理解) with other children are all signs that may point in this direction. This can in turn lead to them not empathizing with the needs of other children.As for the development of cognitive (认知的) skills, these develop through practice and oppo

25、rtunity over time. And while some cognitive skills may be genetic, most are learned through real life situations. In other words, learning and thinking skills can be improved through experiences.To enable them to learn, it is important that we are mindful of what our children are interested in. And

26、this realization is only set in place once the child is given enough room and time to grow and explore.Depriving children of such experiences can mean that they might struggle with higher- level thinking skills.

He wrote the series “Blackadd

31、er” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes

32、 to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collecte

38、esigned for TV24（8分）Ever wondered whether punishment actually makes people cooperate (合作)? A team of scientists created an experiment to figure it out and the results were pretty unexpected.To understand what they found, you have to know why these scientists were studying punishment. They were tryin

39、g to figure out why people cooperate when its often so easy to profit at others expense. Why dont friends steal from each other? Why do parents bother to feed their children? If the answer to these questions is obvious to you, congratulations, you are ahead of scientists. Theyre still trying to figu

40、re it out.In this experiment, researchers had 225 Chinese students play a game, where if the students cooperated, theyd all get a number of points. But if one defected (变节) and everyone else cooperated, the defector would get a lot of points, and the cooperators would lose out. This game represents

41、a lot of real life situations where you struggle with a decision: work together and do OK, or run off with the rewards, ruining everybody elses day.This is actually a pretty ordinary economic experiment. But the researchers added two changes to see if they could mimic(糢拟the real world better. Change

42、 one: some students played many rounds together, so theyd learn who they could trust. Change two: people could punish each other, sacrificing a point or two to destroy another players score.In the end, the researchers found that playing multiple rounds made people cooperate more, which definitely mi

43、mics human society. But the whole punishment thing led to a surprise: punishing didnt actually make people cooperate more. In fact, it made them cooperate less.So the scientists still dont know why people cooperate, though it looks like it has more to do with groups sticking together than it does wi

44、th punishment.1、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AWhy friends dont steal from each other.BWhy researchers are studying punishment.CWhy people always profit at others expense.DWhy people cooperate rather than take advantage of others.2、What happened to a defector in the expe

45、riment?AHe lost out. BHe benefited more.CHe got punished. DHe became the leader.3、What conclusion is drawn from the experiment?APunishing helps people realize their mistakes.BCooperating is a win-win policy to all.CPunishment wont work as expected.DPeople who choose to cooperate are selfless.4、What

46、might be the best title for the text?ADoes punishing people actually work?BWhy is punishment applied to cooperation?CHow can punishment contribute to cooperation?DWhat is the best way to make punishment effective?25（10分） Dolphins, African gray parrots and some other animals understand the idea of “z

47、ero,” but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, considering the insects tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons (神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humansand yet, they grasp a concept that huma

48、ns, by some measures, dont start to understand before preschool.The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the human

49、s wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty cardthus showing that they understood that “zero” was a number less than the ot

50、hers.Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.Perhaps these

51、findings will explain the brain mechanism (机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of “nothing,” Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. “If bees can understand zero wit

52、h a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,” Dyer said in the statement.1、What is a surprising finding for the researchers?AMany animals also comprehend the meaning of “zero”.BThe number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.CHoney

53、bees can understand “zero” with their tiny brains.DHumans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.2、What can the bees do without further training?AFly directly to the card with more symbols on it.BFly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.CFly quite slowly to the card without any

54、thing on it.DFly more often to the card without any symbol on it.3、What does Adrian Dyer say about these findings?AThey offer inspiration to the development of technology.BThey enable people to understand more abstract concepts.CThey suggest ways to teach humans some complex tricks.DThey allow peopl

55、e to set a new type of brain mechanism.4、What is the main idea of the text?AHoneybees know about the concept of “zero”.BHoneybees can understand much as humans do.CHoneybees will help to improve AI in the future.DHoneybees can be trained to comprehend “zero”.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，
