Staff and volunteers have named it “Ni Hao”, which is Chinese for “hello”.It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean. The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week, but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Centre in Los Angeles. At first it was too weak to stand, but finally took its first steps. Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly. The cat woke up on Thursday morning, physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.“Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first meow this morning and is attempting to stand,” said Marcia Mayeda, head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control. Aaron Reyes, director of the Department, added, “We finally got to hear its voice. It sounds like a single-engine plane.”Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter. “Its much better for it to recover in a home environment,” Mr. Reyes said. “Its just like a human being in a hospital so were hoping to move it.” He added, “Little by little were getting there. Were hoping that under the treatment and with rest, itll be able to recover quickly.”It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.25. What does the underlined word “stowed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. packed B. raised C. hidden D. driven26. What did the cat eat during the journey?A. The mouse B. The bread. C. Only water D. Nothing27. When did the container to California start on its journey?A. 60 days ago B. 2 weeks ago C. One month ago D. 24 hours ago28. The cat is likely to be taken care of by in the future.A. a caring family B. animal workers C. a medical team D. an animal shelterCDigital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT pany Citrix, most bosses arc doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesnt accept it, and only 35 percent say its tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say theyve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. Its much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we havent e as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who havent worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility (灵活性) to manage their time efficiently.29. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A. They have little trust in modem technology.B. They want to stick to their routine practice.C. They fear losing control of their workers.D. They are used to face-to-face munication.30. What seems to be most workers attitude toward remote working?A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Reserved. D. Disapproving.31. What does the author suggest smart firms do?A. Shorten their office hours. B. Give employees a pay raise.C. Reduce their staffs workload. D. Adopt flexible work patterns.DEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers pete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼写大赛). In this challenge, young petitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the petition, the petitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without puterized help. Software on smart phones and puters allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now? we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin, “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.32. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.B. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.C. It draws great public attention across the country.D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.33. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology.D. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.34. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is .A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaD. an ability to be developed only when you are students35. Where does this text probably e from?A. A science report. B. A news report. C. Childrens literature. D. An advertisement.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。Be a Green ChildWhat does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. _36_ Why green?
