17、. There is no need to be trained as a support worker.C. Employees at Coffee Beans have few management opportunities.D. Applicants to Wowee Magazine should be sociable and enthusiastic.BIt was about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at the Bellport, New York, got into her car and began dri
18、ving home. She had traveled the route(线路) so many times that she almost drove automatically: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and thenbang! Out of nowhere a car crashed into Espositos car, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. Injured but mostly shocke
19、d by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she got stuck in the vehicle. As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed when he heard the crash coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed
20、a flashlight and rushed out. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “Were always on duty. ”The first car he came upon 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once making sure the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Espositos car straddling (骑跨) the
21、railroad tracks. And then he heard a bell sound, which signaled a coming train. DiPinto rushed to Espositos car and hit on the drivers side window. She just looked at him, “I dont know where I am,” she said.“Youre on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto yelled. “We have to get you off right now!” The train
22、 was traveling at a speed of 65 miles per hour toward them. The drivers door couldnt be opened due to the crash, so DiPinto ran to the passenger side. He threw open the door, pushed aside the airbags, seized Espositos arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he finally got her
23、 out and walked her to safety as quickly as he could. Within seconds, the train crashed into the car. “It was like a Hollywood movie, ” DiPinto told reporters the next day. “Last night, ” said Greg Miglino Chief of the South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣), not in a fire truck. ”

26、is the best title of the passage?A. A Terrible Accident.B. A Brave Firefighter.C. A Broken Car. D. A Narrow Escape.CNowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents
27、and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. Its a major problem in many societies.Thats why intergenerational(代与代间的)programmes, designed to bring the ol
28、d and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people
29、 as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme(方案) in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activitie
30、s such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips
31、out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone involved. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they
32、 see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children surround around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvemen
33、t in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.28What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?ACaring for children BA generation gap.CThe support for the aged. DIntergenerational contact.29What do the programmes mentione
34、d in Paragraph 2 aim to do?AMake the old take care of children. BIncrease contact between the old and the young.CEncourage the young to care for the old. DHelp the old people learn new things.30What is special about the scheme in France?AHelping children face misfortunes bravely. BHiring old people
35、as child - care workers.CJoining an elderly house with a kindergarten. DUsing children to accompany the old.31In which aspect(方面)does the scheme benefit the old? AThey live a healthier life. BIt builds up their strength.CIt creates a family atmosphere. DThey are closer to their relatives.DWould you
36、give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if youre like most people, you wouldnt hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other person
37、al information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will
38、 be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal informationfrom contact lists to bank card numbers, all information that hackers (黑客) would love to get their hands on.A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten
39、Nohl showed in an experiment what he could obtain using only a persons cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieus location and movements throughout Los Angeles, re
40、ad his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.Still think its a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?Its safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, bu
41、t even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检索码) via your cellphone. Lets
42、 say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. Youve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any
43、 other personal information.32What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?AImportant. BFamiliar. CAccessible. DManageable.33What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?AWhy people need to take care of their cellphone numbers.BWhy people seldom change their cellphone
44、 numbers.CHow to protect our personal information.DHow to get rid of spammers.34What did Karsten Nohls experiment intend to prove?ANohl is a real expert in hacking.BLieus new cellphone has powerful functions.C. Hacking information via cellphone numbers is not hard. DIts necessary to fight against ha
45、ckers.35What can we infer from the last paragraph? AIts a good idea to sell something online.BIts necessary to register several accounts online.CIts risky to post your cellphone numbers online.DIts common for people to forget their passwords.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)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
46、多余选项),并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。How to be a good ownerMany children want to have their own pets, but how to be a good pet owner?
