News China.B It was a bad time for me . I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadnt shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughters house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against.That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. “Wow !” I thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied,” You look like youve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!Watching him go, I also looked at the busload of people between me and his seat. He hadnt chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever fort it brought him. Why?Thats when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help othersif we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.24.

Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. Unusual Appearance Interests Strangers. B. Meet Them Where They Live. C. Small Talks Make a Difference. D. Accept What They Are. C Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do? Its hard to believe it would happen. But that is what the industrial revolution did to the labor force of the early 19th century. Two hundred years ago, 70 percent of American workers lived on the farm. Today automation(自动化) has eliminated all but one percent of their jobs, replacing them with machines. But these workers did not sit, doing nothing. Instead, automation created hundreds of millions of jobs in pletely new fields. Those who once farmed were then working in factories that produced farm equipment, cars, and other industrial products. It may be hard to believe, but before the end of this century, 70 percent of todays jobs will likely be replaced by automation. Yes, dear reader, even you will have your job taken away by machines. In other words, robot replacement is just a matter of time, First, speedy robots being able to lift 150 pounds all day long will carry boxes, sort them, and load them onto trucks. Fruit and vegetable picking will continue to be robotized until no humans pick outside of specialty farms. Next, The work of cleaning in offices and schools will be taken over by late-night robots. The trucks will be driven by robots. We need to let robots take over. They will do jobs we have been doing, and do them much better than we can. They will do jobs we cant do at all. They will do jobs we never imagined even needed to be done, and they will help us discover new jobs for ourselves and new tasks that expand who we are. They will let us focus on being more human than we were.28. What happened in the early 19th century? A. Some working Americans in factories got fired. B. Jobless workers had no choice but to sit there doing nothing at all. C. Many American workers had to leave factories to work on the farm. D.

Robots will do more things for us to live better.DIn business, theres a speed difference: Its the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their petitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the pany actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and pany size. panies fearful of losing their petitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. In our study of 343 businesses, the panies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating ines than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. Whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating ines over a three-year period. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more timethanpetitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value)Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher performing panies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must e from the top.32.What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage. C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal.33.The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means _. A. spending more time and performing worse B. spending more time and performing better C. spending less time and performing worse D. spending less time and performing better34.What can we learn from the text? A. How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is. B. How petitive a firm is depends on what it produces. C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes. D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.35.Which could be the best title for the text? A. Improve quality? Serve better. B. Deliver value? Plough ahead. C. Reduce time? Move faster. D. Need speed? Slow down.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。所选答案涂在答题卡36-40的位置上。Some animals can be trained to help humans.
