UPS(联合包裹)
driver
Ryan
Arens
was
making
his
rounds
near
a
pond
in
Bozeman,Montana,when
he
heard
an
unearthly
sound.“Like
a
cry
for
help,”
he
told
the
Dodo.It
was
December
2019,and
about
15
feet
from
the
frozen
banks
was
the
source
of
that
cry—a
half-submerged
brown-and-white
wirehaired
hound(猎犬),struggling
to
hold
to
a
thin
layer
of
ice.How
she
got
there
no
one
knows,but
an
elderly
man
was
already
on
the
scene.He’d
entered
the
pond
in
a
rowboat
and
was
trying
hard
to
cut
the
ice
with
a
rock
to
create
a
path
to
the
dog.It
was
slow
going,and
Arens,44,thought
he
stood
a
better
chance.
“Animals
are
my
weakness,”
he
told
the
GreatFallsTribune,explaining
why
he
took
off
his
clothes
without
hesitation,even
though
the
temperature
was
very
low,and
took
over
the
rowboat.
His
heart
thumping,Arens
slid
closer
to
the
dog
and
used
the
other
man’s
rock
to
smash
away
at
the
ice.He
gave
one
strong
hit
and
slipped
off
the
boat,falling
into
16
feet
of
freezing
water.
He
resurfaced
in
time
to
see
the
dog
going
under.Using
nervous
energy
to
keep
warm,he
swam
about
five
feet
toward
her,took
hold
of
her
collar,and
pulled
her
to
the
ice.He
then
lifted
the
dog
into
the
boat
and
slid
it
back
to
the
shore,where
anxious
bystanders
carried
the
dog
to
the
home
of
the
elderly
man,a
retired
veterinarian.Once
in
the
house
himself,Arens
jumped
into
a
warm
shower
with
the
dog
until
they
both
felt
warm.A
few
more
minutes
in
the
pond,the
vet
told
Arens,and
she
would
have
likely
suffered
cardiac
arrest(心脏骤停).
The
next
day,Arens
was
back
working
the
same
neighbourhood
when
the
dog’s
owner
came
over
to
thank
him
for
saving
Sadie.“Would
you
like
to
meet
her?”
he
asked.
He
opened
the
door
to
his
pickup(皮卡),and
Sadie
rushed
out.She
made
a
beeline
for
Arens,leaping
on
him
and
bathing
him
in
wet
kisses.“That
special
delivery,”says
Arens,“was
the
highlight
of
my
UPS
career.”
4.What
does
the

word
“unearthly”
most
probably
mean?
A.Terrifying.
B.Strange.
C.Interesting.
D.Pleasant.
5.What

Ryan
Arens
arrived
on
the
scene?

was
skating
on
the
ice.
B.He
was
rowing
in
the
pond.
C.He
was
trying
to
save
the
dog.
D.He
was
walking
on
the
path.
6.What

the
third
paragraph
mainly
tell
us?
A.How
Arens
fell
into
the
water.
B.How
Arens
rescued
the
dog.
C.How
dangerous
it
was
in
freezing
water.
D.Who
the
dog

when
its
owner
opened
the
door
of
the
pickup?
A.She
jumped
on
him.
B.She
kissed
him.
C.She
ran
directly
to
Arens.
D.She
remained
still.
C
When
people
think
about
British
music,for
the
most
part
they
think
about
the
60s
or
70s
with
the
likes
of
The
Beatles
and
The
Rolling
Stones
or
more
modern
artists
like
Adele
or
Ed
Sheeran.However,stuck
between
these
two
ages
was,in
my
opinion,British
music’s
best
period.The
90s
were
an
optimistic
time
for
Britain
and
indeed
Europe,with
the
economy
recovering
from
the
lows
of
the
80s
and
the
Cold
War
ending.
One
of
the
defining
features
of
90s
music
was
the
birth
of
“Britpop”.This
was
a
style
of
pop
music
that
aimed
to
promote
“Britishness”
and
commonly
featured
electric
guitars,drums
and
male
singers.Britpop
was
the
style
used
by
world-famous
bands
such
as
Oasis,Blur,Pulp
and
Suede
who
became
known
as
“The
Big
Four”.The
summer
of
1995
was
dominated
by
the
“Battle
of
Britpop”
which
was
between
Blur
and
Oasis
for
the
number
one
spot.Eventually,Blur
won
the
battle
and
Oasis
settled
for
second.
However,the
90s
weren’t
only
for
the
boys,with
major
female
groups
also
finding
fame,the
most
well-known
of
which
were
“the
Spice
Girls”
who
were
extremely
popular
in
Britain
and
around
the
world.Once
again
they
promoted
“Britishness”
and
had
catchy
melodies
and
lyrics,but
they
also
started
the
“Girl
Power”
movement
which
helped
empower
girls
and
women
worldwide.It
isn’t
too
far
to
assume
that
without
their
music,many
female
singers
and
artists
who
we
love
today
would
not
have
had
the
confidence
to
pursue
their
dream.
British
music
may
have
had
many
great
times,however
the
90s
are
often
overlooked.Although
I
was
not
alive
to
enjoy
the
music
properly,the
90s
had
a
huge
impact
on
British
culture
that
can
be
felt
today
and
I
feel
that
the
decade
should
get
the
recognition
it
deserves!
8.What
can
we
infer
from
the
first
paragraph?
A.The
Cold
War
came
to
an
end
in
the
80s.
B.Britain’s
economy
began
to
pick
up
in
the
90s.
C.The
Beatles
represented
the
best
British
music.
D.Adele
is
better
than
Ed
Sheeran
in
modern
music.
9.What
is
Paragraph
2
mainly
about?
A.Britpop.
B.Britishness.
C.The
Big
Four.
D.Battle
of
Britpop.
10.What’s
the
most
important
influence
of
“the
Spice
Girls”
according
to
the
text?
A.Promoting
“Britishness”.
B.Empowering
girls
and
women.
C.Creating
catchy
melodies.
D.Finding
fame
for
female
groups.
11.The
writer
thinks
the
impact
of
the
90s
music
on
British
culture
is
.?
A.underestimated
B.well-recognized
C.fairly
evaluated
D.reasonably
doubted
D
The
kakapo,a
bird
that
lives
in
New
Zealand,is
not
designed
for
survival.Weighing
up
to
4
kilograms,it
is
the
world’s
fattest
parrot.It
mates(交配)
only
when
the
rimu
tree
is
in
fruit,which
happens
every
few
years.It
developed
gradually
in
the
absence
of
land-based
natural
enemies,so
instead
of
flying
above
the
trees
it
walks
like
a
duck
across
the
dry
forest
floor.When
it
moves
unsteadily
across
something
that
might
kill
it,it
will
stand
still.
Such
unusual
characteristics
turned
it
into
fast
food
for
human
settlers,and
for
the
cats
and
rats
they
brought
with
them.It
seemed
to
have
disappeared
by
the
1970s,until
scientists
came
across
two
undiscovered
populations
in
the
country’s
south.These
survivors
were
eventually
moved
to
small
enemy-free
islands,where
researchers
have
spent
decades
trying
to
get
them
to
breed(繁殖).
The
scientists’
patience
is
finally
rewarded.The
rimu
was
in
fruit
this
year,and
more
than
80
chicks
hatched,making
this
the
best
breeding
season
on
record.Many
have
survived
into
adolescence,increasing
the
number
of
adult
kakapos
by
a
third,to
200
birds.
Another
danger
to
the
kakapo
is
a
lack
of
genetic
diversity.This
is
one
reason
why
fewer
than
half
of
kakapo
eggs
hatch.By
arranging
the
genome(基因组)
of
every
living
bird,scientists
can
identify
closely-related
individuals
and
put
them
on
different
islands.Every
bird
is
fitted
with
something
to
track
its
slightest
movement.If
a
female
mates
with
an
“unsuitable”
male,the
process
can
be
stopped.
All
these
efforts
cost
almost
New
Zealand
$1.3
million
this
breeding
season.Yet
the
kakapo’s
future
still
looks
unsafe.Earlier
this
year
a
severe
disease
tore
through
the
population.And
tiny
as
the
number
of
kakapos
is,space
is
running
out
on
the
two
islands
where
most
of
them
live.New
enemy-free
settlement
must
soon
be
found.
12.Which
of
the
following
is
a
danger
for
the
survival
of
the
kakapo?
A.It
is
the
smallest
bird
in
the
world.
B.It
lacks
exercise
and
usually
stands
still.
C.It
adapts
slowly
in
genetic
development.
D.It
can’t
respond
actively
when
facing
danger.
13.In
what
way
may
the
scientists’
patience
be
rewarded?
A.Adequate
food
supply
for
kakapos
was
guaranteed.
B.New
settlements
for
kakapos
were
eventually
found.
C.Kakapos
were
becoming
increasingly
aggressive.
D.Kakapos’
birth
rate
reached
the
highest
level.
14.Why
did
the
scientists
put
kakapo
in
different
islands?
A.To
stop
closely-related
kakapos
mating.
B.To
increase
the
population
of
kakapos.
C.To
stop
females
mating
with
males.
D.To
hatch
more
kakapos’
eggs.
15.What
does
the
author
think
of
the
efforts
to
protect
the
kakapo
in
New
Zealand?
A.Successful.
B.Unsafe.
C.Doubtful.
D.Inadequate.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
College
is
the
time
when
you’re
expected
to
focus
on
your
path
in
life.But
it’s
also
the
time
you’re
the
least
equipped
to
have
any
long-term
plan. 1 .?
The
whole
process
can
be
divided
into
three
stages.
The
first
is
“gathering
fuel”.This
means
building
up
your
skills,learning
from
different
experiences
and
developing
a
network
of
people
who
you
trust
and
who
trust
you.And
this
is
a
stage
that
requires
patience
and
a
willingness
to
identify
your
own
weaknesses
and
work
on
them.If
you
complete
this
stage
with
a
growing
sense
of
what
you
love
to
do
and
what
you
are
good
at, 2 .?
The
second
stage
is
“burning
fuel”.This
is
the
time
to
improve
the
skills
you’ve
obtained
through
experiences,the
people
you’ve
met
along
the
way
and
the
recognition
of
what
you
should
do. 3 .We
want
to
get
where
we’re
going
in
a
hurry,but
that
hardly
works.?
4 .Simply
speaking,it’s
about
staying
strong,while
turning
an
eye
towards
what
lies
ahead.It’s
a
surprisingly
long
journey
and
most
people
underestimate
it.You
can’t
expect
an
ideal
life
to
happen
by
itself.You
must
recognize
that
no
matter
where
you
are
on
the
path,each
step
is
there
to
teach
you
something,feeding
you
that
fuel.?
If
you’re
not
doing
what
you
want,you
need
more
fuel—
so
go
out
and
get
it. 5 .?
A.you
are
winning
B.that
will
come
true
C.The
last
part
is
“saving
fuel”
D.The
final
part
is
“filling
fuel”
E.Here
are
some
tips
on
how
to
aim
your
sights
into
the
future
F.It
seems
that
most
of
us
try
to
jump
straight
to
the
next
stage
G.And
