第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分35分)
第一节 (共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所绐的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Your dog might follow simple commands such as “sit”, or become uncontrollably excited at the mention of the word “out”, but when it comes to remembering the names of toys and other everyday items, most seem pretty absent-minded. But now a study of six “genius(天才)dogs” has found something new.
Hungarian researchers spent more than two years scouring the globe for dogs who could recognize the names of their various toys. Although most can learn commands to some degree, learning the names of items appears to be a very different task for most dogs.
Six dogs across the world eventually stood out after proving they knew the names of more than 28 toys, with some knowing more than 100. They then took part in what was known as the Genius Dog Challenge.
“These gifted dogs can learn new names of toys at a remarkable speed,” said Dr. Claudia Fugazza at E tv s Loránd University in Budapest. “In our previous study we found that they could learn a new toy name after hearing it only four times. But, with such short exposure, they did not form a long-term memory of it.”
To push the limits of the dogs' talents, the researchers asked their owners to teach them the names of 6, and then 12 new toys in a single week. “It turned out that this was not much of a challenge. They easily learned between 11 to 12 toys,” said Dr. Shany Dror from the same university. The dogs could also remember these names when they were tested two months later. The research was published in Royal Society Open Science.
“Dogs are good models for studying human behaviour as they evolve（进化）and develop in the human environment,” said one of the study's co-authors, Prof dám Miklósi. “With these talented dogs we have a unique opportunity to study how another species（物种） understands the human language, and how learning words influences the way we think about the world.”
21.What does the underlined word “scouring” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Preserving. B. Searching. C. Changing. D. Shaping.
22.What is the focus of the research led by E tv s Loránd University
A. The potential of dogs' memory.
B. The link between dogs and their owners.
C. The speed at which dogs respond to commands.
D. The number of toys whose names dogs can remember.
23.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The background of the research. B. The description of the research.
C. The significance of the research. D. The application of the research.
B
There are a lot of names for people who travel the world — backpackers, tourists, explorers, travelers. Labels (标签) are everywhere but seem especially popular among travelers trying to differentiate (区别) their style of travel. For many travelers, these labels make them feel better over another.
Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods once said, “Travelers are better at exploring the world than tourists. They dig deep into the culture, drink it up, and get to know a place while a tourist takes pictures and declares to have “done Paris.”
But that’s wrong. We are all tourists.
Out on the road, backpackers love to talk about how real their travels are and how unreal tourists are. “Look at those tourists over there,” they say. They laugh at others who travel too quickly or to places that they think are not well worth visiting. However, they do so while eating hamburgers and drinking beers with other travelers.
The only way to really get to know a place deeply is to live there. If you want to live like a local, find an apartment, get a job, go to work, and do the same things as you did back home.
We are all only passing through a culture, getting a small taste before moving on to the next place. Even if we stay weeks or months, we’re just getting in touch with the surface. As a matter of fact, we are all really just tourists, or explorers, or travelers. Call yourself whatever you want — it’s all the same as we’re all trying to do the same thing — see the world.
So don’t label anyone and don’t let anyone label you. We’re all tourists. We’re all travelers. What we are all doing is more important than what we call ourselves. Let’s just enjoy the fact that we are simply people on the road.
24. The mention of Andrew Zimmern’s words is to_________.
A. present amazing experiences B. tell travelers apart from tourists
C. give an example of misunderstanding D. get to know different kinds of people
25. What do tourists and travelers have in common
A. They live like locals while traveling. B. They enjoy tasty food on the way.
C. They like calling themselves explorers. D. They have a brief experience of places.
26. What does the author suggest in the passage
A. Dig deep into the culture. B. Just enjoy the trip.
C. Make a careful trip plan. D. Do important things.
C
Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank(储蓄罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“That aroused my curiosity,” Jackie told CBS News. “Nobody messes with the piggy bank.” After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings.
“What are you doing with that money ”Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I'm taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money. “I'm going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn't get milk--her mom doesn't have milk money and I do.”
Jackie's heart melted at Sunshine's words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half get milk. It costs $0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1, 000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about.” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
27. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank
A. She wanted to play with the coins. B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She intended to pay for her friend's milk. D. She hoped to show off her savings in class.
28. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine's words
A. Touched B. Curious C. Proud D. Relieved
29. In Jackie's eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A.Many hands make light work. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
30. What is the best title for this passage
A. Jackie’ s Piggy Bank B. Small Coins, Big Deeds
C. A Moved Grandmother D. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk

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。
It's 4:35 p. m. You feel like the bottom of a marathoner’s shoe. Flat and sore. It's been a day of fighting anxiety, racing to meetings, staying awake, endless work, and trying to get stuff done. 31 It causes you unwilling to stay for one more minute at the office. But how to improve your productivity of your entire work on the end of the day.
The biggest step in this end-of-day process is to respond to as many emails as possible in thirty minutes of time. The majority of emails hit your inbox during workday hours. By responding to 80% of these or so, you can effectively reduce tomorrow’s workload. 32 If you can get this done before tomorrow begins, you'll be ahead of the game.
If you use your computer or mobile phone for scheduling your day or taking notes, you'll want to keep them on. But please close whatever programs are allowing email or chat messages to ruin your end-of-the-day productivity. Before turning off your computer, you should also exit your Internet browser, and close the web pages you had opened. If you start your new day by seeing that articles you were reading, you are starting in the wrong frame of mind. 33
It's important to plan your day before it starts. 34 A day that starts without a plan is like an engine that needs to warm up before it's safe to drive. Perform your planning the day before, because a day planned in advance allows you to jump in fully prepared, and fully ready to get stuff done
Your office space is known as an “environmental factor.” 35 As Inc. com reported, dirty office can actually ruin your job performance. Then tiding up your office, you will become more productive. It's just that simple. By doing so, you feel good with a peaceful state of mind, a sense of refreshment and energy, which will be enough for the following.
A. Each day deserves a fresh start.
B. So it is important to have a cleaner.
C. The condition of it changes the way you think and work.
D. You can be less effective when finishing dealing with them.
E. Write down everything that's on your mind that you need to do.
F. You are so upset and disappointed about your whole day's productivity.
G. This is one of the biggest gains you can make towards your productivity.

Possible version 1
Dear Alex,
（How is everything going ）Thanks to your help, I've made impressive progress in English with obviously greater language proficiency(熟练，精通). Please accept my sincere gratitude!
However, I still find myself struggling with writing in English, always running out of appropriate words to express my thoughts and also having tremendous difficulty with sentence structure. Do you have any suggestions on how I can learn to write more like a native
I'd really appreciate it if I could get your further aid. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible version 2
Dear Alex,
I’m writing to extend my cordial thanks to you for your timely help, with which my English has improved dramatically recently.
However, English writing still poses a bottleneck/challenge to my further progress. To be specific, I find it extremely difficult to write grammatically-correct sentences. Meanwhile, failing to choose proper words and expressions in an essay to get myself clearly understood truly upsets me a lot. Thus, I was wondering if you could be so kind as to give me some instructive guidance on the problems mentioned above.
Thanks again! A prompt reply is greatly expected and appreciated.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Many people in the USA are really dependent on their cars to go to work or school. In fact, most American workers spend an hour driving to work each day. In order to drive in the USA, you have to go to your local Department of Motor Vehicles first, and take a written test to get your learner’s permit. If you pass this test, you can practice driving and then you can pass a road test and get your license. To prepare for the road test, you can take classes at a driving school. If you cannot, you can practice driving by yourself. If you are caught driving with only a learner’s permit, you may get into trouble with the law. Once you get your driver’s license in one state, you can drive in all of the states in America. Wherever you drive, you will see signs posted along the road indicating the speed limit. The local police use special equipment to test your speed. If they find you are speeding or driving over the speed limit, the police can stop you and give you a ticket.
