   Two interesting aspects of the British tendency are the charity(慈善) shop and the car-boot(汽车后备箱) sale. Both of these 41 selling goods for different purposes.

   When I was growing up,our family often started a jigsaw puzzle(拼图游戏) in the evening. Everyone would go to bed,but I wouldn’t. I cannot leave a puzzle unfinished. I would just keep going,and finish it at five in the morning. When everyone got up in the morning,too bad — the puzzle was done.

   In eighth grade,I decided to be a professional puzzle maker. However,I attended law school eventually. The spring of my first year in law school,I wrote my parents that I'd be dropping out to work on puzzles. My mom wrote back a very thoughtful .letter saying, “This is a terrible idea ,” and listing all the reasons why. I thought her reasoning was good,so I did get my law degree.

   I have worked as a crossword(纵横字谜) editor since 1993 and invented hundreds of varieties of puzzles. I get 75 to 100 crossword submissions (投稿) a week. Every puzzle has to be looked at and responded to: yes or no. Usually,I write some comments on the puzzle. On average,about half the clues in the puzzles are mine. The most important thing for my work is accuracy,so I check anything that I'm not 100% sure of. I also edit for the proper level of difficulty,freshness,color,and just a sense of fun. After the puzzles are edited,they are typeset (排版) and sent to four test solvers.

   In our daily life,we’ re faced with various problems. We do the best we can,but we never know if we’ve got the best solution. The great thing about a human-made puzzle is when we? re done,we know we have achieved perfection. We don't get that feeling much in everyday life.

   I enjoy everything I do. I'11 never get tired of doing this.

What will man be like in the future —5,000 or even 50 ,000 years from now? We can only make guesses,of course,but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today,for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man,500 years ago,was shorter than he is today. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time,so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again,in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so,we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on,however,we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head. In particular,the fore-head (前额) will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant (持续不断的) use. In fact,we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time,it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand,we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These,as a result,are likely to grow weaker. At the same time,however,our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的) .

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!

This may be true. All the same,in spite of all these changes,future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

41. The passage mainly tells us that .

   A. man's life will be different in the future

   B. future man will look quite different from us

   C. man is growing taller as time passes

   D. man's eyes will become weaker 

42. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?

   A. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.

   B. Man has got stronger eyes now than before.

   C. Man's arms and legs are becoming lighter and weaker.

   D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

43. Man's forehead will grow larger probably because.

   A. he will grow taller and stronger

   B. the other 80% of his brain's capacity will grow

   C. he will fully use the 20% of his brain's capacity

   D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

44. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?

   A. He will think and feel less in different ways.

   B. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.

   C. He will have smaller eyes and wear better glasses.

   D. His fingers will grow weaker because he doesn’t have to use them.

45. We can learn from the passage that .

   A. human's future life will be boring

   B. men and women will look the same in the future

   C. human beings will become less attractive in the future

   D. future human beings will have different emotions from us

第二节阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填 人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Empathy Last 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. 51 Today,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. 52 There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature.

53 Researchers have also found that empathetic 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. 54 “Academicsareimpor- tant. But if you don't have emotionaK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. 55 To really develop empathy,youM 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 intelligencethat will help you succeed in many areas of life.

   G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human -and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
