并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AShowing solidarity（团结）with workers on Labor Day, President Barack Obama on Monday signed an executive order requiring paid sick leave（带薪病假）for employees of federal contractors, including 300,000 who currently receive none.The White House would not specify the cost to federal contractors to implement the executive order, which Obama detailed in a speech to a major union rally and breakfast in Boston. The Labor Department said any costs would be offset by savings contractors would see as a result of lower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up.Under the executive order, employees working on federal contracts will gain the right to a minimum of one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched over 12 months, thatwill add up to seven days a year. The order will allow employees to use the leave to care for sick relatives, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 – just as Obama leaves office.The Obama administration has been working on the executive order for months, and chose Labor Day to announce it as the president seeks to enact（颁布）what policies he can before his presidency ends, despite resistance in Congress to laws he has proposed to improve workplace conditions.That push has reverberated（回想）in the 2016 campaign, where Democratic candidates are seeking to draw a distinction with Republicans on who is most supportive of the middle class.Roughly 44 million private-sector workers do not get paid sick leave –about 40% of the workforce, the White House said. Obama renewed his call for Congress to expand the requirement beyond contract workers and to all but the smallest businesses, an idea that has gained little traction on Capitol Hill. Obama also called on Congress to pass a budget when they come back from their summer recess this week.Unable to push much of his agenda through a Republican-controlled Congress, Obama has in recent years used executive orders to apply to federal contractors policies he lacks the authority to enact nationwide. His aim is to lay the groundwork for those policies to be expanded to all Americans.21. How many people will benefit from this paid sick leave policy?A. 44 million.B. 0.3 million.C. 30 million.D. 300 million.22. How will this paid sick leave policy benefit the federal contractors?A. They will lose money.B. Lower attrition rates between companies.C. Increase workers loyalty.D. Both B and C.23. Which of the following is true according to this article?A. The paid sick leave policy took effect on Labor Day, 2015.B. The middle class plays an important role in the 2016 campaign.C. The workforce of the U.S. is roughly 44 million.D. Obama’s federal contractors policies were pushed through in a Republican-controlled Congress.BAt least 107 people were killed and 238 more were injured when a crane collapsed on to the Grand Mosque during storms in the Muslim holy city of Mecca on Friday, the Saudi Arabian government has said. The director general of the country’s civil defence authority, Suleiman al-Amr, said high winds caused the disaster.On its Twitter account, the authority said rescue teams had been sent to the scene and offered its ―sincere condolences‖ over the deaths, as well as its prayers for the speedy recoveries of those injured.Abdel Aziz Naqoor, who said he worked at the mosque, told Agence France-Presse that he had seen the crane fall after being hit by the storm. ―If it weren’t for al-Tawaf bridge the injuries and deaths would have been worse,‖ he said, referring to a covered walkway that surrounds the Ka’bah and broke the crane’s fall.The UK Foreign Office said it was urgently investigating whether any British citizens were caught up in the accident. ―We are are aware of the incident and are in close contact with the Saudi authorities,‖ a spokeswoman said.David Cameron tweeted: ―My thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones at Mecca today.‖The governor of Mecca region, Prince Khaled al-Faisal, ordered an investigation into the incident and was heading to the mosque, according to the local government.Muslims make their annual hajj pilgrimage later in September and Saudi authorities go to great lengths to be prepared for the millions of people who converge（聚集）on Mecca. They have taken a series of safety measures over the past decade aimed at preventing crowd crushes after tragedies such as the stampede（人群的蜂拥）in 2006, which resulted in 350 deaths, a building collapse（倒塌）in the same year which killed 76 and a stampede that killed more than 200 people in 2004.Officials limited numbers attending the hajj after a peak in 2013, in which more than 3.1 million pilgrims arrived. Bottlenecks（障碍物）in which crushes occurred along the pilgrimage route were widened and religious authorities decreed that it was not mandatory for pilgrims to touch sacred spots.Saudi authorities have lavished（浪费）vast sums to improve Mecca’s transport system in an effort to prevent more disasters. Security services often surround Islam’s sacred city with checkpoints and other measures to prevent people arriving for the pilgrimage without authorization. Those procedures, aimed at reducing crowd pressure which can lead to stampedes, fires and other hazards, have been intensified in recent years as security threats grow throughout the Middle East.24. How many people were injured in the crane accident on Friday?A. At least 107.B. 107.C. More than 238.D. Less than 238.25. What may be the cause of the disaster?A. High winds.B. Thunder storm weather.C. Both A and B.D. Unknown26. What did the authority do after this disaster?A. Rescue teams had been sent.B. Sincere condolences over the deaths were offered.C. Prayers for the speedy recoveries of those injured were offered.D. All above.27. What can we know from the article?A. Al-Tawaf bridge reduced the injuries and deaths in the disaster.B. No British citizens were caught up in the accident.C. Muslims made their annual hajj pilgrimage early in September.D. Saudi authorities don’t do anything to improve Mecca’s transport system.CEat nuts, live longer. Researchers have found that those who eat a handful of peanuts every day significantly decrease their risk of dying from all causes compared to those who do not eat nuts. A new study concludes that all types of nuts seem to be protective.Researcher Ying Bao is with the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard University Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She and her colleagues looked at the impact of nut consumption by analyzing two huge studies that began in 1980 - the Nurses’ Health Study, which tracks the well-being of more than 76,000 women, and 42,000 men enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.Among the questions asked at the beginning of the studies was, 'how frequently do you eat nuts?' The information was updated every two to four years. Bao says the participants were followed for three decades.―What we observe d is that people who eat more nuts are less likely to die over the next 30 years," said Bao. "So, for example, if a person eat(s) nuts once per day, that person has a 20 percent lower risk of dying.‖Bao says eating a handful of nuts five or more times per week was associated with a 29 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease and an 11 percent lower risk of cancer death. Aserving size is 28 grams.Nuts contain nutrients, including high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which have anti-cancer effects and may help protect the heart.Bao says researchers are planning studies to find out how nuts are beneficial to human health.The study on the health benefits of nuts was funded by the International Tree Nut Council Research and Education Foundation.28. People who often eat nuts ________.A.are more likely to live longer than people who often eat fruitsB.don’t need to go to hospitalC.may live longer than people who don’t eat nutsD.don’t have to do sports29. The underlined wor d ―well-being‖ in Paragraph 2 shares the same meaning as ―________‖.A.illness B．health C．diet D．habit30. About Bao’s research, which statement is true?A.She has done the research by herself.B.Her research was based on two studies.C.Her research lasted about three years.D.People should eat all kinds of nuts every day.31. Eating nuts may help us stay away from ________.A.cancer B．fever C．flu D．headacheDStudies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say combining different farming methods may help.Since the world food crisis several years ago, researchers have directed more of their attention to small farms. Most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are only about one or two hectares. One of the goals is to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops.American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants – those that return year after year.Mr. Reganold, who is with Washington State University, says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.He estimates that up to two billion dollars worth of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium is lost from African soil each year.The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. John Reganold says farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize, millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.Mr. Reganold was one of three researchers who wrote a report about perennation. It was published in the journal Nature.32. Researchers focused their attention on small farmlands for the reason that ________.A.Africa was going through a food crisisB.most farms in areas south of the Sahara Desert are smallC.there are not enough farmlandsD.farmers may grow additional crops on farmland33. The word―perennation‖mentioned in this passage ________.A.is a farming method of planting food crops with treesB.is a new farming methodC.can help African people produce more food than they needD.is gaining widespread use around the world34. We can infer from the passage that ________.A.perennation will be widely used by farmers in AfricaB.American government will help African countries increase food productionC.African countries is short of farmlandD.some farmers are destroying their farmland in Africa on purpose35. This report is mostly likely to be a journal of ________.A.food B．environment C．agriculture D．gardening第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AReading a bedtime story to his son one evening, Carl Honore noticed that he was reading very quickly. He was thinking about all the things he had to do later: check email, make phone calls, book a flight, prepare things for work, and so on. He suddenly realized that he had become caught in the trap of speed, rushing here and there, getting up early in the morning and burning the midnight oil at night. The more he thought about the fast pace of modern life, the worse he felt. He had ended up speed-reading to his son because he was so busy.As a journalist, he was curious about the phenomenon he was experiencing, so he did some research. He found that Americans now spend forty percent less time with their children than they did in the 1960s. Honore decided to write a book about the subject called In Praise of Slow. He wanted to let people know about the benefits of slowing down. He does not ask readers to throw out their TVs and become farmers. Instead, he describes the harmful effects of our love of speed in our lives, such as stress and health problems, he also explains the philosophy of the Slow Movement. A growing number of people around the world are choosing to take things easy, to do less, in order to lead a fuller life. There is even an International Day of Slowness on June 21. Cark Honore strongly believes that if people would only slow down, they would enjoy life so much more.1.According to the passage, if American parents in the 1960s spent 6 hours with their kids, Americanparents now spend ___________ hours with their kids.A. 2B. more than 6C. 2.4D. 3.62.If John burned the midnight oil at night, he was ___________.A.at playB. at workC. at leisureD. at rest3.According to the passage, which statement about Carl Honore is NOT true?A.He was a news reporter.B.He read a bedtime story to his son.C.He suffered from stress and health problems.D.He was the writher of In Praise of Slow.BThe history of civil engineering(土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization. Civil engineers began practicing their profession four thousand years ago. Every great civilization, Egyptians, Minoan, and Romans, for instance, had the civil engineers. What is left of their work can prove that they were intelligent. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems ofpipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The ruins of the structures tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. They are also proof that those engineers could make lasting works of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid, the great pyramid near Gizeh, comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated passages and tunnels. These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid.The engineers of Egypt did more than designing the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work, the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.4.Four thousand years ago, ___________.A.people began practicing civil engineering in order to become professional engineersB.civil engineers began putting their knowledge into practiceC.there appeared civil engineers by professionD.civil engineers got more involved in their profession5.The civil engineers of the ancient time were intelligent enough to build entire cities, including___________.A.systems of pipes, bridges and pyramidsB.water supply systems, bridges and structuresC.pipelines systems, bridges and farmlandsD.water supply systems, bridges and pipelines for cultivation6.The base of the Gizeh Pyramid is cited by the author as a perfect example of ___________.A.exact measurement adopted by the designersB.great scientific ability of the builderssting work of art and designD. a very large square7.Which of the following about the pyramids can be learned from the passage?A.Building materials were processed to meet certain requirements for their size and shape.B.Building materials were broken into smaller pieces of all sizes.C.There were no requirements for the size and shape of building materials.D.Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of the building materials.CScientists have found that bee venom(毒液) can be used to develop new treatments of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎).They have shown the venom contains molecules (分子) that cause an increase in natural hormones(荷尔蒙) in the body. The research has raised hopes that the new treatments can help bring relief from the pain of arthritis and even prevent it from developing in the first place. The findings help to explain some stories of how patients who receive a bee sting treatment report improvement in their condition.Dr Suzana Beatriz V erissimo de Mello, a professor who led the research at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, said bee venom caused increased levels of the hormones which defend against the disease.She said, “Bee venom is a complex mixture of materials that are known to ca use protective responses in humans, and it has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis for centuries. Our data shows thatbee venom prevents the development of arthritis in the rabbits that are tested in the experiments.”Bee Sting Treatment is often used as a form of alternative medicine in which patients endure hundreds of stings by bees in the hope of getting better. The new research is the first time a scientific explanation has been shown for the effect.Professor Alan Silman, medical director of Arthritis Research UK, warned that it might be some time before any practical applications could be found.He said, “Knowing that when some people suffering arthritis are stung by bees their pain goes away for a short while is one thing; actually turning these early laboratory findings into a practical application is quite another.”8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.New treatments of rheumatoid arthritisB.New findings on the effect of bee venomC.New research about natural hormonesD.New applications of Bee Venom Treatment9.Bee venom can NOT be used to ___________.A.relieve the pain of arthritis for some timeB.get rid of the pain of bee sting immediatelyC.stop arthritis from growing in the first placeD.increase levels of natural hormones in the body10.What does the underlined word “applications” mean in this passage?A. A formal written request for a job, etcB. A piece of softwareC.The use of a rule or piece of knowledge in a particular situationD.Hard work and concentration on what you are doing11.It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A.the reports of recovery from arthritis are made up by patientsB.the materials of bee venom are made up of natural hormonesC.the effect of bee venom on arthritis was studied centuries agoD.Bee Venom Treatment can be painful for the arthritis patientsDThe job of repairing the carpet was done and it was time for a last cigarette. Eddie began tapping the pockets of his overalls, looking for the new packet of Marlboro he had bought that morning. It was not there.It was as he swung around to look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump (鼓包). Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump, a lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.“I’ve done it again!” said Eddie angrily. “I’ve left the cigarettes under the carpet!”He had done this once before, and taking up and repairing the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump in another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again. He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.Eddie didn’t want to damage the carpet itself, s o he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn’t hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult to explain why h e was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet… The lump was beginning to flatten out.After three or four minutes, the job was finally finished. Eddie picked up his tools, and began to walkout to his car. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a little worried about something.“Young man, while you were working today, you didn’t by any chance see any sig n of Armand, did you? Armand is my bird. I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he’s disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. O nly today he didn’t come back. He’s never done such a thing before, it’s most peculiar…”“No, madam, I haven’t seen him anywhere,” said Eddie, as he reached to start th e car.And he saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the panel, where he had left it at lunchtime…And he remembered the lump in the carpet…12.What did Eddie want to do when he had finished repairing the carpet?A. To have a cigarette.B. To hammer the carpet flat.C. To put back his tools.D. To start work in the dining room.13.Why didn’t Eddie take out the thing under the carpet?A.It was impossible for him to take up the carpet once it was fitted.B.He didn’t need the cigarettes because he had some more in the car.C.It would take too long to take up the carpet and refit it.D.He intended to come back and remove the lump the next day.14.What did Eddie do with the hammer?A. He drove nails into the lump.B. He fixed his toolbox.C. He refitted the carpet.D. He flattened the lump.15.Mrs. Vanbrugh worried that ________.A. her pet was nowhere to be foundB. fitting the carpet would be expensiveC. Eddie would smoke in the houseD. Eddie hadn’t done a proper job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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
