I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1
A. Efforts made in vain.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.
5. Why was the author called to Muttontown
A. To rescue a woman.
B. To take care of a woman.
C. To look at a baby owl.
D. To cure a young owl.
6. What made the chick calm down
A. A new nest.
B. Some food.
C. A recording.
D. Its parents.
7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A. It’s unexpected.
B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s humorous.
D. It’s discouraging.
C
When everything is going wrong, there's nothing like listening to a few bars of your favorite sad song. But why do we find pleasure in sad music This puzzled two researchers at the Freie Universit t Berlin in Germany who set out to explore our strong feeling for sad songs in a world where entire industries exist to help us remove sadness from our lives.
Their study — based on a survey of more than 770 people around the world and published this month in the journal, PLOS ONE — discovered sad music can create positive emotions, like peacefulness and kindness, and that choosing the tearful ballad on your music player offers three benefits.
The biggest turned out to be that sad songs allow you to feel sadness without any of its “real-life contexts.” In other words, you can safely explore what it's like to be a little blue without experiencing the great pain of losing a loved one, for example.
“Emotion control” was another important benefit. Many of those surveyed said that when they were in a bad mood (情绪), experiencing sadness through music made them feel better afterwards and provided an emotional improvement. That may be because the songs help them to express and let go of their emotions, researchers noted. “Sad music promotes and creates a space for reflection and reexamination of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings,” one of the researchers added
The benefit of “empathy” (同理心) made the listener feel good by allowing him to share the sadness of another human being through the song. When we're having social problems like when we're feeling lonely, homesick or missing someone, the sad songs can offer comfort by showing someone else shares our state of mind, the study found.
So it turns out that Elton John was right: Sad songs do say so much.
8. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. When things go wrong. B. What to explore in sad songs.
C. Why sad music brings us joy. D. How to remove sadness from life.
9. Which of the following best describes the findings of the study
A. Benefits of sad music.
B. Strong feelings in sad music.
C. Real-life contexts of sad music.
D. Empathetic comforts from sad music.
10. How does sad music achieve "Emotion control"
A. By freeing us from bad moods. B. By bringing great pain to us.
C. By helping us reflect on exams. D. By providing a space for us.
11. Why is Elton John mentioned at the end of the passage
A. To prove Elton John was right. B. To show Elton John wrote songs.
C. To make the readers think deeply. D. To stress the point of the passage.
D
Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.
However, that comes at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74, 505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.
Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a “great job-creating machine”. For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants; welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.
The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence ” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.
12. What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut. B. Increased. C. Counted. D. Predicted.
13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. Introduce a view. B. Prove a theory. C. State the opposite. D. Draw a conclusion.
14. What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology
A. Farmers. B. Washers. C. Miners. D. Teachers.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Is technology leading us nowhere B. Is technological progress real progress
C. Does technology destroy or create jobs D. Does technology bring convenience to humans

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.

These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

When everything is going wrong, there's nothing like listening to a few bars of your favorite sad song. But why do we find pleasure in sad music This puzzled two researchers at the Freie Universit t Berlin in Germany who set out to explore our strong feeling for sad songs in a world where entire industries exist to help us remove sadness from our lives.
Their study — based on a survey of more than 770 people around the world and published this month in the journal, PLOS ONE — discovered sad music can create positive emotions, like peacefulness and kindness, and that choosing the tearful ballad on your music player offers three benefits.
The biggest turned out to be that sad songs allow you to feel sadness without any of its “real-life contexts.” In other words, you can safely explore what it's like to be a little blue without experiencing the great pain of losing a loved one, for example.
“Emotion control” was another important benefit. Many of those surveyed said that when they were in a bad mood (情绪), experiencing sadness through music made them feel better afterwards and provided an emotional improvement. That may be because the songs help them to express and let go of their emotions, researchers noted. “Sad music promotes and creates a space for reflection and reexamination of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings,” one of the researchers added
The benefit of “empathy” (同理心) made the listener feel good by allowing him to share the sadness of another human being through the song. When we're having social problems, like when we're feeling lonely, homesick or missing someone, the sad songs can offer comfort by showing someone else shares our state of mind, the study found.
So it turns out that Elton John was right: Sad songs do say so much.
8. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. When things go wrong. B. What to explore in sad songs.
C. Why sad music brings us joy. D. How to remove sadness from life.
9. Which of the following best describes the findings of the study
A. Benefits of sad music.
B. Strong feelings in sad music.
C. Real-life contexts of sad music.
D. Empathetic comforts from sad music.
10. How does sad music achieve "Emotion control"
A. By freeing us from bad moods. B. By bringing great pain to us.
C. By helping us reflect on exams. D. By providing a space for us.
11. Why is Elton John mentioned at the end of the passage
A. To prove Elton John was right. B. To show Elton John wrote songs.
C. To make the readers think deeply. D. To stress the point of the passage.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D

Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.
However, that comes at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74, 505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.
Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a “great job-creating machine”. For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants; welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.
The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence ” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.
12. What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut. B. Increased. C. Counted. D. Predicted.
13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. Introduce a view. B. Prove a theory. C. State the opposite. D. Draw a conclusion.
14. What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology
A. Farmers. B. Washers. C. Miners. D. Teachers.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Is technology leading us nowhere B. Is technological progress real progress
C. Does technology destroy or create jobs D. Does technology bring convenience to humans
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

At the end of a long day, it’s all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. ___16___ As it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isn’t as harmless as you probably thought.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1
A. Efforts made in vain.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.
5. Why was the author called to Muttontown
A. To rescue a woman.
B. To take care of a woman.
C. To look at a baby owl.
D. To cure a young owl.
6. What made the chick calm down
A. A new nest.
B. Some food.
C. A recording.
D. Its parents.
7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A. It’s unexpected.
B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s humorous.
D. It’s discouraging.
【答案】4 A 5. C 6. A 7. B

When everything is going wrong, there's nothing like listening to a few bars of your favorite sad song. But why do we find pleasure in sad music This puzzled two researchers at the Freie Universit t Berlin in Germany who set out to explore our strong feeling for sad songs in a world where entire industries exist to help us remove sadness from our lives.
Their study — based on a survey of more than 770 people around the world and published this month in the journal, PLOS ONE — discovered sad music can create positive emotions, like peacefulness and kindness, and that choosing the tearful ballad on your music player offers three benefits.
The biggest turned out to be that sad songs allow you to feel sadness without any of its “real-life contexts.” In other words, you can safely explore what it's like to be a little blue without experiencing the great pain of losing a loved one, for example.
“Emotion control” was another important benefit. Many of those surveyed said that when they were in a bad mood (情绪), experiencing sadness through music made them feel better afterwards and provided an emotional improvement. That may be because the songs help them to express and let go of their emotions, researchers noted. “Sad music promotes and creates a space for reflection and reexamination of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings,” one of the researchers added
The benefit of “empathy” (同理心) made the listener feel good by allowing him to share the sadness of another human being through the song. When we're having social problems, like when we're feeling lonely, homesick or missing someone, the sad songs can offer comfort by showing someone else shares our state of mind, the study found.
So it turns out that Elton John was right: Sad songs do say so much.
8. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. When things go wrong. B. What to explore in sad songs.
C. Why sad music brings us joy. D. How to remove sadness from life.
9. Which of the following best describes the findings of the study
A. Benefits of sad music.
B. Strong feelings in sad music.
C. Real-life contexts of sad music.
D. Empathetic comforts from sad music.
10. How does sad music achieve "Emotion control"
A. By freeing us from bad moods. B. By bringing great pain to us.
C. By helping us reflect on exams. D. By providing a space for us.
11. Why is Elton John mentioned at the end of the passage
A. To prove Elton John was right. B. To show Elton John wrote songs.
C. To make the readers think deeply. D. To stress the point of the passage.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D
D
Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.
However, that comes at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74, 505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.
Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a “great job-creating machine”. For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants; welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.
The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence ” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.
12. What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut. B. Increased. C. Counted. D. Predicted.
13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. Introduce a view. B. Prove a theory. C. State the opposite. D. Draw a conclusion.
14. What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology
A. Farmers. B. Washers. C. Miners. D. Teachers.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Is technology leading us nowhere B. Is technological progress real progress
C. Does technology destroy or create jobs D. Does technology bring convenience to humans
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
