5．I am a fulltime student at College of the Redwoods．During this period it is hard to find the time to do anything other than work．But after much thought I decided to spend my extra time volunteering at the Sequoia Humane Society．
The main reason for people volunteering at animal shelter is that it helps the animals．It also helps the workers，because they have so many things to do----such as feeding and cleaning----and they just don't have enough time to give each animal proper attention and exercises．Volunteers help out by taking dogs on long walks so they can get exercised．
Walking and playing with the animals helps them become better suited for adoption，and increase the chance that they will find a home and live happily with their owners．
As a person who has pets all of my life，I know the joy and happiness that a pet brings to a person，a family，and the world in general．Even on the most stressful day，I know when I get home my dog will be sitting there ready to play with me and take my mind off from whatever causes the stress I am experiencing．Volunteering at animal shelters gives someone the opportunity to experience what I have all the time----a warm，loving animal that just wants to have fun and make you happy．So make the time to make an animal happy．Start volunteering today!

25．Which of the following about the author is true？C
A．He works in a college．
B．He is a fulltime volunteer．
C．He is an undergraduate．
D．He owns an animal shelter．
26．Volunteers walk the animals at the shelter to help themD．
A．draw people's attention
B．gain people's pity
C．get special care
D．get enough exercise
27．The underlined word"adoption"in Para.3probably means"C"．
A．walking and playing with these animals
B．feeding and cleaning these animals
C．giving these animals a home with a family
D．taking these animals out to the public．

分析 本文写了一个大学生在自己的业余时间在动物收容所做志愿者，帮助小动物的故事．

解答 25．C 细节理解题．根据第一段的内容I am a fulltime student at College of the Redwoods可知作者是一个在红杉学院的全职的学生，所以答案选C．
26．D 推理判断题．根据句子Walking and playing with the animals helps them become better suited for adoption，and increase the chance that they will find a home and live happily with their owners．与动物散步和玩耍能帮助他们变得更适合被收养，增加他们找到家和主人快乐生活的机会．可以推测这是对动物的训练，所以答案选D．
27．C 猜测词义题．根据后一句and increase the chance that they will find a home and live happily with their owners．增加他们找到家和主人快乐生活的机会．可见这些动物是将来是要找到新家和新主人的，所以adoption应该是被领养的意思，所以答案选C．

13．EmpathyLast year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years．（31）BToday，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
Jennifer Freed，a co-director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect．（32）D
There are good reasons not to ollow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．（33）G Researchers have also found that empthetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear．
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact，Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers．（34）F"Academics are important．But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，"she says．
What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）？For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．（35）C
To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a"sharing circle"with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．

A．Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person．
B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．
C．"One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，"Freed says．
D．Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else-both what they think and how they feel．
F．Good social skills-including empathy-are a kind of"emotional intelligence"that will help you succeed in many areas of life．
GHaving relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．

8．It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes．They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment．They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks．
It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情），but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are，as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern，by observing our own behavior．We can be strangers to ourselves．If we knew our own minds，why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior？If our minds were an open book，we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes．Actually，we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are．
Moreover，we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character-we infer characters that weren't there before．Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us，which we fail to recognize．Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't．Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us．We should not believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition．
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make，people become what they do，though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires．Therefore，we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice："We are what we pretend to be，so we must be careful about what we pretend to be．"

12．According to the passage，personalities and attitudes are commonly believed toA
A．determine one's behavior

A．A kind person will offer his seat to the old．
B．One buys latte out of true love of coffee．
C．One recycles plastics to protect the environment．
D．The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty．
14．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage？B
A．We fail to realize our inner dispositions．
B．We can be influenced by outside pressures．
C．Our behavior is the result of our true desires．
D．Our characters can shape our social relationships．
15．What does the author mainly discuss in the passage？C
A．Personalities and attitudes．
B．Preferences and habits．
C．Behavior and personalities．
D．Attitudes and preferences．
5．The story happened in Japan（61）where a house was redecorated and the wall inside a room was removed．The inside of the wall was hollow．When the owner of the house removed the wall，he saw a gecko（壁虎） inside the wall．Its tail was pinned by a nail（62）coming（come） through the wall from outside．
The owner was very curious why the gecko was still alive．Then the nail caught his eye．Goodness!It is the nail that was driven here ten years ago when the house was built!How amazing it is （63）forthe gecko to have lived in the wall in complete （64）darkness（dark） for ten years!
But on second thought，the curious house owner wondered how this gecko could live through ten years with its tail nailed down and being unable to go anywhere．So he tried to find out how this small creature could be fed．After a little while，there appeared another gecko with food in （65）itsmouth!What a shocking scene!For ten years，this little gecko had never failed to feed the （66）trapped（trap） one．
The story touched me so （67）deeply（ deep） that it is useless to find out（68）whatrelationships they had between them．Parent （69）andchild？Friends？Lovers？Brothers or sisters？（70）The last thing we should do is to abandon your beloved in hardship．
