ADennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medici ne for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.21. Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years‟ workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in historical research22. The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that ______.A. it‟s too early for people to accept the concept of gap yearB. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seenC. it‟s difficult to foresee the gap year marketD. more American people will accept the gap year policy23. What‟s George Garritan‟s attitude toward the “gap year”?A. Positive.B. DoubtfulC. Uninterested.D. Uncertain.24. What‟s the passage mainly about?A. How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults.D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.BThanks to this new hands free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype(雏形) , connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sens or that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you‟re not looking, and it has a backup battery(备用电池) that you can use to charge(充电) all your devices.“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone, and avoiding obstacles, ”explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We‟re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics．So if you download our app, press the …follow me‟ button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the device and trying improve features like speed and customization(客户定制) , but they hope to make the suitcase available to custom ers in a year‟s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate(使自动化) lots of other devices，like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman told Mashable. “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They‟re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fixed on old-fashion luggage.With NUA'S smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isn‟t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.25. According to the passage the “smart” suitcase_______．A. can go everywhere it would like to goB. is on sale now in the marketC. can make our hands free during travelingD. was designed by Alex Libman26.

It was a company which was founded by Mashable．B. It has improved the features of the device up to now．C. It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into daily life．D. It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month．CA new book written by a Chinese American on her super-strict parenting—“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” has raised fierce debates in the US.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Chua writes that her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to go on a date, be in a school play, watch TV or play computer games. They couldn‟t choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A. They had to play the piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says “would never happen”—there would be “a screaming, hair-tearing explosion.” She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling, not letting her leave the bench and even using the bathroom—until it was.Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive (虐待的). She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, objected to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy Debroff, who has written four books on parenting, says Amy Chua‟s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy Debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington‟s Bothell campus, says, “I don‟t think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(码尺) of a good life. But I can imagine how strong her daughters‟ college applications are going to be. For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university, Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent, devoted parental guidance,” Lo says, “In that sense, a young adult‟s giftedness can be born, or made.”28. We can learn that Amy Chua is _________.A. an assistant professorB. an easy-going womanC. a cruel teacherD. a demanding mother29. What do you know about Amy Chua‟s husband?A. He came from China.B. He is against her parenting style.C. He approved of her parenting style.D. He thinks her parenting methods are abusive.30. Stacy Debroff advises parents to ________.A. follow Amy Chua‟s parenting styleB. develop their own style of parentingC. be strict with childrenD. seek a better future for their children31. Alison Lo concludes that ___________.A. a teenager can be raised to be a talentB. a gifted child was born with talentC. persistent, devoted parental guidance is the best parenting styleD. pare nts should respect children‟s personalitiesDI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to livingtogether: giving in cleaning up and holding on.32. What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldn't find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.33.

My Friend KateB. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be OrganizedD. Learning to Be Roommates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。
