I was the teacher on duty that day and came home for a quick lunch. Right when I was about to leave back to the school, he started doing this really terrible cough. And it really terrified me. I started searching for dog CPR(心脏复苏术) online and tried looking down his throat, all while he was acting completely normal. He was wagging(摇摆) his tail and running around and just wanted to play but also kept making this horrible noise. I called my husband and told him what was happening and that I needed to leave for work but didn’t want to leave him alone, so my husband rushed home to be with him.After my husband came home, Sullivan stopped coughing. He was completely fine through the afternoon, evening and nighttime. So, we figured he must have just gotten something stuck in his throat and finally got it out. However, the next morning when we both started getting ready for work, he started doing it again.We called around a few vets in our city and almost all of them said he could be acting sick in the mornings or when we leave him because he knows. If he acts differently or sick we pay more attention to him and stay with him. The vets said it doesn’t happen a lot but a few really smart animals know how to use and abuse(滥用) the system.This incident makes us realize what Sullivan’s possibly doing. If he’s capable of such observation, what else could he be planning? Overall, we just learn dogs are awesome and they sometimes learn a lot more than we think-another reason to love them.14. The writer searched for dog CPR online because .A. she was on duty that dayB. she needed it for her workC. she thought Sullivan needed itD. her husband needed to learn it15. Which is a quick solution to Sullivan’s problem?A. Staying at home with himB. Taking him to more vetsC. Giving him a strong CPRD. Feeding him more often16. What does the underlined part “the system” refer to?A. Sullivan’s condition in the morningB. Medical help from different vetsC. People’s attention to sick animalsD. Smart animals’special thinking17. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Animals deserve more love from peopleB. Animals can be smarter than we thinkC. We should be careful about animalsD. We’re being made use of by animalsCMore often than not, music can be used as a tool to increase production, not as a distraction(分心) as most people believe it to be. Consider this: if listening to inspiring songs while doing sports helps us to perform better and pushes us to run that extra mile or do that last pushup(俯卧撑), why couldn’t music be around us within the workplace?There is science behind this. When you listen to music, some part of your brain becomes active and it releases a chemical called dopamine, the “pleasure chemical”in the brain. Let’s make it simple. Say that you are listening to a list of songs and suddenly, a new song starts playing and you find that you really like it. That excitement you feel over that new song is the dopamine at work inside your brain. The amount of dopamine released mainly depends on the degree of surprise. Therefore, the more surprise, the more dopamine and a happier you. It’s simple math, really.On the other hand, music is something that allows human to experience the same thing in a similar way. It’s a tool that we use to form a group identity and it makes us want to work together productively. It’s an important distinct advantage of us humans, and makes us different from animals.This can translate to work as well. Music is a tool that many people use, without even knowing they are doing it, to help them complete boring tasks at a faster rate. For example, haven’t you ever turned on the radio when your mom’s given you much housework to do? Suddenly, you’re dancing with the broom across a spotless kitchen and you wonder how you got there? Music?Of course, sometimes it is neither the time nor the place for music to be played, so use your judgment. But then again, there was a reason someone invented headphones(耳机)!18. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. It’s good to listen to music while workingB. Our brain reacts well to the music we hearC. Music brings people in a group togetherD. Most people misunderstand the use of music19. What will happen when our brain releases dopamine?A. We will find math quite simpleB. We will become very excitedC. There will be chemicals around usD. We will like to listen to new songs20. According to the author, humans are different from animals because .A. Animals don’t like musicB. Humans understand musicC. Music makes human happierD. Music joins people together21. The passage suggests that we use headphones when .A. there’re boring tasks to completeB. we have too much houseworkC. we are unwilling to listen to musicD. it is not suitable to play musicDSince so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction(互动) with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(单词首字母) both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed “LOL”in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BFF”? Exclaimed, “OMG!” during a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as “text talk”have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL,”“BPB,”“OMD,” and “BFF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.22. Which is the best title for the passage?A.

The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages .A. have positive influenceB. are useless for interactionC. are getting more popularD. should be properly used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。
