第二部分 阅读理解(满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
21.(6分)Companies that employ workers have an interest in keeping the workplace safe.Job-related injuries are something that responsible employers avoid.They take the time and use company resources to make sure that the people who come to work each day are safe.
Not only does this make good sense from a moral standpoint,but it also makes good financial sense.If a worker is injured on the job,it costs the company in terms of lost mam tours,increased insurance costs,worker’s compensation premiums(赔偿金),and legal posts.
Productivity is lost when other workers have to stop doing their jobs to deal with the situation.Even after the injured worker has been sent home or taken to hospital,other employees may be unfocused or need to take time off from work in the result of the incident.
When a workplace is safe,workers feel more comfortable and confident when they are in that environment. Productivity gets a promotion,and profits follow suit.Absence also drops when employers take steps to carry out an effective safety program.
Investing in a good safety program brings with it other benefits too.When employees feel safe in the workplace and absence rates are kept down,they can focus on serving the company’s customers properly.Many companies offer produces or services that are similar to those that other companies carry or provide.Customers will decide which companies they want to deal with based on which one they feel provides the best customer service.Increased absence means longer wait times and customers are quite prepared to move on to another company they feel will be able to help them in a more timely manner if they are not getting the level of attention that they deserve.
Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the working environment safe.Managers should deal with employee concerns about safely issues in an appropriate manner.
1、What bad effect does an incident have according to the text?
A.Workers may refuse to work again.
B.The quality of products may decline.
C.Workers may be hard to concentrate.
D.The company may close down.
2、What do we know about the safe workplace form Paragraph 4?
A.It can inspire workers’ creativity.
B.It can bring workers a higher pay.
C.It can put an end to worker’ absence.
D.It can bring the employer more money.
3、On what condition will the customers move on to another company according to the text?
A.If they can’t get a safer product.
B.If they have to wait for a long time to get deserved attention.
C.If they feel the company can’t provide a safer workplace for them.
D.If they find the company provides the some products as others offer.
4、Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.How Employees Can Protect Themselves
B.Companies Are Ensuring Employees’ Safety
C.Why Safety Is Important in the Workplace
D.How to Create a Safer Workplace
22.(8分)We ate on the go more than ever before. Here are three health apps that can help you better manage your health when you pursue your dreams. Doctors On Demand
Doctors On Demand enables you to visit a doctor without ever leaving your home, helping you use a computer, tablet or smart phone to have a doctor video chat with you. The service will help you locate and connect you to licensed doctors, psychologists, pediatricians (儿科医生) and more. Fees can be paid with HAS & FSA.It costs $ 40 for 15 minutes with a doctor or $50 for 20 minutes with a psychologist. Text 4 baby
I’m a big fan of Text4baby for a few reasons. The free service for pregnant women and new moms works by sending text messages to your smart phone three times a week with information about how to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. And the messages are timed to the pregnant woman’s due date or the baby’s date of birth, sending tips that are relevant to where a mother is in her pregnancy or where a baby is in stages of development. Tips range from breastfeeding to car seat safety to reminders about exercise, nutrition and more. The service combines interactive text messages, an app, video and web content in English and Spanish. Sign up by texting BABY to 511-411 or by downloading the app. RISE
RISE, an app available on iPhone (coming to Android in 2016), pairs you up with (与绑定) a registered dietitian to improve your diet and reach health goals. You share photos of your meals and your exercise for the day with your coach, who then looks for areas where you can improve and gives advice, helps you set goals and is there to pat you on the back virtually (虚拟地) when you hit a milestone. What’s also great is that you can text as much as you want with your dietitian and there is no need to go into an office. Fees for this service range from $9 per month to $50 a month. There is a free 7-day trial so you can try it out for a week to see if it’s fit for you.

23.(8分) For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble.
When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can annoy you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.
◆ Marriott Detroit Airport
Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.
◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.
◆Radisson LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin,you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.
1、Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?
A.Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York .
B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.
C.Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.
D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.
2、Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?
A.Yotel New York. B.Marriott Detroit Airport.
C.Radisson LaCrosse. D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

25.(10分)When Paula Grzelak-Schultz spotted a piece of paper tucked under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers, she thought she was getting fined for leaving her car in a bar parking lot overnight. With a heavy sigh, Grzelak-Schultz removed the paper and unlocked her car.
Hardly had she unfolded the paper when she got shocked. It was a letter from the manager of Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar in Sherwood Park, Canada.
“Just wanted to thank you for leaving your car parked overnight,” Jay McLean, managing partner at Original Joe’s, wrote. “I’m not sure if you had consumed alcohol at our restaurant or not, but we wanted to thank you for not drinking and driving.”
Inside it,, Grzelak-Schultz also found a voucher (代金券) for 1 pound of chicken wings.
“Please accept this as a thank you for being responsible,” McLean wrote. “Life is valuable, have a great weekend.”
Grzelak-Schultz was touched.
“I was sure it was going to be a ticket or a scolding from someone for leaving my vehicle there for so long,” Grzelak-Schultz told CBS News. “I was truly surprised and so pleased that the manager took the time to acknowledge my good judgment.”
She decided to share the man’s good deed on Facebook.
“Wow! I’m so impressed. Definitely going back,” Grzelak-Schultz wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday that
