The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the ri ght clothing for a price I can afford.”Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Rober t took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.24.If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.A. be punishedB. be offered another jobC. lose his jobD. put off the training class25.The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.A. the trainer’sB. Robert’sC. the writer’sD. the older man’s26. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?A. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.B. He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.D. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.27.What might be the best title for the passage?A. An unbelievable thingB. Fight against strict rulesC.A strange employerD. Proper clothes for a strangerCTexting(发短信)walkers aren't just an annoyance to other walkers, Australian researchers armed with movie special-effects technology have determined scientifically that they're threats to themselves. Using motion-capture technology similar to that used for films, researchers concluded that texting while walking not only affects balance but also the ability to walk in straight line.“Some people like checking emails while walking to work in the morning” said the study co-author Hoorn, “but they may not know it has a serious effect on the safe ty of themselves”. Other facts have also proved this. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a pier near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook, bringing a sudden and icy end to a penguin-watching visit. Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.The Australian study involved 27 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having knocked into objects while texting. They were asked to walk 8.5 meters three times—once without phones, once while reading text and once while writing text, when eight cameras recorded their actions.They found the volunteers using the phone walked slower, and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in like “robots”, which forced their heads to move more, throwing themselves off balance. “In a pedestrian(步行的)environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents”, said Mr. Hoorn. “The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone.”Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have highlighted the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper recently declared cellphone-distracted road crossing as “bad habit No. 2” contributing to the rising number of road deaths. Some U.S. states, including New York and Arkansas, are considering bans on what they're calling phone jaywalking(走路不遵守交通规则).28.According to the passage, people texting while walking usually____________.A. do not influence other walkersB. do harm to their eyesC. put themselves in dangerD. can still walk straight29.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “wrapped up” in Paragraph 2?A. absent-mindedB. absorbedC. annoyedD. Confused30.The two examples in Paragraph 2 are given in order to __________.A. show texting walkers may harm themselvesB. prove texting walkers are threats to othersC. analyze the causes of the dangerD. amuse the readers31.About the Australian study, we know that___________.A. the volunteers using phones while walking moved normallyB. ten volunteers admitted having bumped into things while textingC. the volunteers were divided into three groups during the studyD. texting walkers are exposed to greater possibility of traffic accidentsDThe sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that areoften far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mea n the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.32. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A. It is a global trend.B. It is beyond regulations.C. It brings in modest profits.D. It takes advantage of spare resources.33. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.B. They are likely to commit thefts.C. They are allowed not to pay taxes.D. They are not regularly inspected.34. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage？A. Whether it provides reliable services.B. Whether it guarantees customers’ safety.C. Whether it lowers customers’ expenses.D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.35. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A. Existing regulations and laws.B. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.C. Necessary improvements of current laws.D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.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。
