a Facebook message from Laura,a former classmate.“Hey Steve,”she said,“I know youve always been an animal lover.Ive just had a baby and I cant keep my mini pig.”Being fond of animals,I knew I wanted the pig.I just had to figure out how to make it happen.I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon,Ontario.Its tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs,two cats,and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that pig go.So I told Laura Id take the animal.When I got home with the pig,I hid her in the bedroom,and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha her favourite bacon cheeseburgers.Its better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise,Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue.It took her a few seconds to know what I had done.She complained about my unreasonable action.She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong,but I hoped I could smooth things over.Soon enough,the lovely pig did the smoothing for me.Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us.We got her a name“Esther”.Esthers arrival changed our lives.A few weeks later,we decided to stop eating bacon.We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals.A few months later,we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals so far,six rabbits,six goats,two sheep,one horse,three cows and three chickens.1、Who does the underlined phrase“my lifelong partner”in Paragraph 2 refer to?ALaura.BSteve.CAlisha.DEsther.2、Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?ATo please her to

Happiness to a Family DA Lovely Pig Removing a Couples Disagreement 22（8 分）Jobs quickly became bored with college.He liked being at Reed,just not taking the required classes.In fact,he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements.When Wozniak came to visit,Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained,“They are making me take all these courses.”Wozniak replied,“Yes,thats what they do in college.”Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted,such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls.“I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to,thats a difference in our personality.”said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly.Jobs also began to feel guilty about spending so much of his parents money on an education that did not seem worthwhile.“All of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition(学费).”he detailed his experience in a famous ceremony address at Stanford.“I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.He didnt actually want to leave Reed；he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didnt interest him.Surprisingly,Reed tolerated that.“He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive,”said the dean of students,Jack Dudman.“He refused to accept automatically received truths,and he wanted to examine everything himself.”Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition.“The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me,and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting,”he said.Among them was a calligraphy(书法)class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn.“I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces(字体),about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations,about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful,historical,artistically fine in a way that science cant capture,and I found it fascinating.”It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection(相交点)of the arts and technology.In all of his products,technology would be married to great design,elegance,human touches,and even romance.“If I had never dropped in on that single course in college,the Mac would have never had so many typefaces.And since Windows just copied the Mac,its likely that no personal computer would have them.”Meanwhile Jobs had a hard time at Reed.He went barefoot most of the time,wearing sandals when it snowed.Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him,trying to keep up with his obsessive diets.He returned soda bottles for spare change,continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple,and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for$20 a month.When he needed money,he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments.Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come to visit.Their relationship developed abnormally.But mostly he tended to the beginning of his own soul and personal goal for enlightenment(开明).“I came of age at a magical time,”he reflected later,“Our consciousness was raised by Zen,and also by LSD”Even later in life he would credit certain drugs for making him more enlightened.“Taking LSD was a valuable experience,one of the most important things in my life.LSD shows you that theres another side to the coin,and you cant remember it when it wears off,but you know it.It heightened my sense of what was importantcreating wonderful things instead of making money,putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”1、Jobs and Wozniak differed in _.Aapproach to freedom Bappetite for knowledge Cattitude to requirements Daffection for college life 2、One factor in Jobs decision to leave college is that _.Ahis family was in absolute poverty Bhe wanted to be independent of his parents Che wouldnt have his parents money wasted Dthe college couldnt prepare him for his set goal 3、From Jack Dudmans statement we can see that Jobs was _.Arather difficult to get along with Bquite good at solving problems Ctoo stubborn to change his mind Dvery serious about existing beliefs 4、The underlined word“audit”in Paragraph 3 means“_”.Aattend informally Bmiss occasionally Cgive successfully Dconduct irregularly 5、Jobs worked on typefaces while suffering from a hard life _.Ato prove his value to the whole world Bto bring something great into existence Cto make himself wealthy for a better life Dto show college was unimportant to him 6、Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage?AStay Out BDrop Out CHold Out DWork Out 23（8 分）Ageing and robots are more closely related than you might think.Young countries with many children have few robots.Ageing nations have lots.The countries with the largest number of robots per industrial worker include South Korea,Singapore,Germany and Japan.which have some of the oldest work forces in the world.The connection does not merely reflect the fact that young countries tend to be poor and cannot afford fancy machines,which they do not need anyway.It holds good within rich countries,too.Those with relatively few robots compared with the size of their workforce include Britain and France,both of which(by rich-country standards)are ageing slowly.Two recent studies quantify the connection.Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University show that,between 1993 and 2014,the countries that invested the most in robotics were those that were ageing the fastest measured as a rise in the rate of people over 56 compared with those aged 26-55.The authors posit a rule of thumb a ten-point rise in their ageing rate is associated with 0.9 extra robots per thousand workers.A study from Germany used different measures but reached the same conclusion.They found that the growth in the number of robots per thousand workers rises twice as fast as the fall in the growth rate of the population(e.g.if)population growth falls by 1%,the growth in robot density rises by 2%).Population growth is closely related to age structure.These findings should not be surprising.Robots typically substitute for labour.That is why many people fear that they will destroy jobs.Countries with plenty of young workers do not need labour substitutes.Wages there also tend to be low making automation unprofitable.But ageing creates demand for automation in two ways.First,to prevent output falling as more people retire,machines are necessary to substitute for those who have left the workforce or to enable ageing workers to continue to do physical labour.Second,once people have retired they create markets for new kinds of automation,including robots that help with the medical and other requirements of caring for people who can no longer look after themselves 1、What can we infer from the article?AAgeing is closely related to robots BAgeing countries have few robots.CRobots are needed in young countries.DYoung and rich countries want more robots.2、Which of the following best explains posit underlined in Paragraph 3?AWant.BRemove.CAssume.DObey.3、How much will the robot population grow if the human population growth decreases by 3%?A1%.B2%.C3%.D6%.4、Why does ageing create demand for robots?ABecause retired people have lower wages.BBecause robots are substitutes for retired worker.CBecause robots are unprofitable in young countries.DBecause the retired need the same robots they used before.24（8 分）Optimism May Help People Live Longer People who have an optimistic view on life are more likely to live longer,a US study said Wednesday.The study,published in the American Journal of Epidemiology,analyzed data from 2004 to 2012 from 70,000 women enrolled in the Nurses Health Study,a long-running US study tracking womens health via surveys every two years.The researchers looked at participants levels of optimism and other factors that might play a role in how optimism may affect mortality risk,such as race,high blood pressure,diet,and physical activity.It found the most optimistic women,or the top 25%,had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in the study compared with the least optimistic women,or the bottom 25%.The most optimistic women had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from cancer;38 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease;39 percent lower risk of dying from stroke;38 percent lower risk of dying from respiratory disease;and 52 percent lower risk of dying from infection.Previous studies have linked optimism with reduced risk of early death from cardiovascular(心脑血管的)problems,but this was the first to find a link between optimism and reduced risk from other major causes.“While most medical and public health efforts today focus on reducing risk factors for diseases,evidence has been mounting that enhancing psychological resilience(弹性，复原力)may also make a difference,”said Eric Kim,research fellow at the Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health and co-lead author of the study.“Our new findings suggest that we should make efforts to boost optimism,which has been shown to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”The study also found that healthy behaviors only partially explain the link between optimism and reduced mortality risk.One other possibility is that higher optimism directly affects our biological systems,Kim said.Co-lead author and postdoctoral research fellow Kaitlin Hagan said optimism can be varied with relatively uncomplicated and low-cost interventions(干预),even things as simple as having people write down and think about the best possible outcomes for various areas
