Many people rush in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Being a responsible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.
Another consideratio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.
Dogs are dogs, and wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!
25. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text
A. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive and alert to dog’s smell.
B. Kari, a teacher who works eight hours a day.
C. Dick, a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.
D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.
26. To be a respon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT _________.
A. buying dog fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )od and feeding it B. taking it to hospital when necessary
C. spending time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )each day playing with it D. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with it
27. What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.
B. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.
C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.
D. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.
28. What might be the best title for the text
A. Dogs Are Dogs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Have Time for a Dog C. Ready for a Pet D. Pets Are Family Members
C
Clenching(握紧) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your fist could be enough to help you get a grip on your memory．
Research su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing it tightly actually makes it easier to memorize lists．
Later, when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it is time to get back the information，it is the left hand that should be clenched．It is thought the movements activate (刺激)brain regions key to the storing and recall of memories．
The American resear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trick when attempting to remember a shopping list or phone numbers．
In the study, voluntee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as possible before trying to memorize a list of 72 words. They squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later, ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possible．
The first group of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the volunteers used their right hand on both occasions，and the second group their left．The third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorizing and their left ahead of recall and the fourth did the opposite．The fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze it．
Those who sque ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ezed with their right hand，followed by their left，remembered the most words. The next best were the volunteers who made a fist with their right hand both times，while those who didn’t squeeze at all did better than those who did with their left．
It is thoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ht that the movement of clenching the right fist activates a brain region that is involved in storing memories，while squeezing the left hand awakens an area that is key to getting back information．
Lead researcher Dr. R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uth Propper said：‘The findings suggest that simple body movements--by temporarily changing the way the brain functions-- can improve memory.’
29．If you want to r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecall something in your memory，you should clench________________．
A．your right hand B．your left hand
C．both of your hands D．your left hand first, and then right
30. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word trick in the fourth paragraph is the closest in meaning to________________．
A. method B. game C. cheat D. experiment
31．Which group in the experiment remembered the fewest words
A．The first g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roup B．The second group C．The fourth group D．The fifth group
32．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Memory experiments on body movements B．What is a good memory
C．Good memory lies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in actions D．Clenching hands improves the memory
D
I passed my d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riving test at the fourth attempt．You might think that means I'm not as safe as someone who passed for their first attempt．But would you feel safer with no driver at all Maybe not, and it’s for this reason that automotive firms have included driver-assist functions in their prototype(原型) driverless cars．This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem．
Google is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )manufacturer that has prototype driverless cars．These cars have been newly equipped with auto-steering wheels and conventional/traditional controls to allow normal driving．But this is just a stage --- the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon．The director of Google's self-drive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11-year-old son will never have to take a driving test．To achieve that, the cars need to be on the road in five years．He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.
According to Ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ris, “1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year．That number is equal to a jet falling out of the sky every day.” He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problem. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities and get rid of parking lots, we need self-drive cars.” He says.
Google’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) prototype driverless cars have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the cars reacted safely.
Some are not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances. He also worries that people may forget how to operate their vehicles if they do not do it regularly. I guess I shouldn’t throw away my driver’s licence just yet.
33. What can be known about driverless cars
A. They are fitted with newly-developed steering wheels.
B. They include functions managed by human drivers.
C. They n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eed traditional controls to avoid traffic jams.
D. They will be purchased on the market in five years
34. What’s the attitude of Sven Beiker towards driverless cars
A. Supportive B. Cautious C. Neutral D. Hopeful
35. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Why we need driverless cars in the near future
B. How to cont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rol a driverless car without a driver’s licence
C. Differences between driverless cars and conventional ones
D. A brief in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )troduction of driverless cars and some opinions on them

3. Choosing which clot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hes to bring is probably the hardest packing decision to make.

If so, one pair will be enough, along with one pair of comfortable shoes.
Remember tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t it is you who have been invited somewhere, not your things. ___40___So, do it right---pack light.
A．Keep the list for future reference.
B．But packing won’t be a problem if you remember one simple rule.
C．You will have an easier time if you’re weighed down.
D．But make sure they’re really worth the extra weight.

Many people rush in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Being a responsible ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.
Another consideratio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.
Dogs are dogs, and wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!
25. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text
A. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive and alert to dog’s smell.
B. Kari, a teacher who works eight hours a day.
C. Dick, a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.
D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.
26. To be a respon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT _________.
A. buying dog fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )od and feeding it B. taking it to hospital when necessary
C. spending time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )each day playing with it D. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with it
27. What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.
B. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.
C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.
D. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.
28. What might be the best title for the text
A. Dogs Are Dogs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Have Time for a Dog C. Ready for a Pet D. Pets Are Family Members
C
Clenching(握紧) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your fist could be enough to help you get a grip on your memory．
Research su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing it tightly actually makes it easier to memorize lists．
Later, when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it is time to get back the information，it is the left hand that should be clenched．It is thought the movements activate (刺激)brain regions key to the storing and recall of memories．
The American resear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trick when attempting to remember a shopping list or phone numbers．
In the study, voluntee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as possible before trying to memorize a list of 72 words. They squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later, ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possible．
The first group of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the volunteers used their right hand on both occasions，and the second group their left．The third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorizing and their left ahead of recall and the fourth did the opposite．The fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze it．
Those who sque ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ezed with their right hand，followed by their left，remembered the most words. The next best were the volunteers who made a fist with their right hand both times，while those who didn’t squeeze at all did better than those who did with their left．
It is thoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ht that the movement of clenching the right fist activates a brain region that is involved in storing memories，while squeezing the left hand awakens an area that is key to getting back information．
Lead researcher Dr. R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uth Propper said：‘The findings suggest that simple body movements--by temporarily changing the way the brain functions-- can improve memory.’
29．If you want to r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecall something in your memory，you should clench________________．
A．your right hand B．your left hand
C．both of your hands D．your left hand first, and then right
30. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word trick in the fourth paragraph is the closest in meaning to________________．
A. method B. game C. cheat D. experiment
31．Which group in the experiment remembered the fewest words
A．The first g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roup B．The second group C．The fourth group D．The fifth group
32．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Memory experiments on body movements B．What is a good memory
C．Good memory lies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in actions D．Clenching hands improves the memory
D
I passed my d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riving test at the fourth attempt．You might think that means I'm not as safe as someone who passed for their first attempt．But would you feel safer with no driver at all Maybe not, and it’s for this reason that automotive firms have included driver-assist functions in their prototype(原型) driverless cars．This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem．
Google is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )manufacturer that has prototype driverless cars．These cars have been newly equipped with auto-steering wheels and conventional/traditional controls to allow normal driving．But this is just a stage --- the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon．The director of Google's self-drive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11-year-old son will never have to take a driving test．To achieve that, the cars need to be on the road in five years．He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.
According to Ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ris, “1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year．That number is equal to a jet falling out of the sky every day.” He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problem. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities and get rid of parking lots, we need self-drive cars.” He says.
Google’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) prototype driverless cars have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the cars reacted safely.
Some are not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances. He also worries that people may forget how to operate their vehicles if they do not do it regularly. I guess I shouldn’t throw away my driver’s licence just yet.
33. What can be known about driverless cars
A. They are fitted with newly-developed steering wheels.
B. They include functions managed by human drivers.
C. They n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eed traditional controls to avoid traffic jams.
D. They will be purchased on the market in five years
34. What’s the attitude of Sven Beiker towards driverless cars
A. Supportive B. Cautious C. Neutral D. Hopeful
35. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Why we need driverless cars in the near future
B. How to cont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rol a driverless car without a driver’s licence
C. Differences between driverless cars and conventional ones
D. A brief in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )troduction of driverless cars and some opinions on them
