阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Inventors are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, greener and a whole lot more fun. Take a look at the following breakthroughs in science and technology. What in the world will inventors dream up next?
Hardworking Robot
The EMIEW2 robot is the perfect office helper. Need a document delivered? No problem! It can also guide visitors to their destinations. The three-foot-tall robot can identify different human voices and respond to commands. One day, it may serve as a receptionist or a security guard.
Green Machine
Say goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won’t pollute the environment. A high-pressure air tank can fill the car in minutes. The three-wheeler can travel about 130 miles between fill-ups.
Beef Power
All aboard the beef train! Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer runs partly on fuel that is made from cow fat. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 10%. The train travels between Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, and Fort Worth, Texas.
Robo-Guard
EMILY is a robotic, four-foot-long buoy (救生圈). She can swim through riptides (激流) at up to 24 miles per hour. Her inventor, Tony Mulligan, says that’s 15 times as fast as human lifeguards! EMILY is powered by a tiny electric pump and operated by remote control.

B
At times Marty made it sound too easy. On a visit to his home I heard him say, “People need to decide to be happy.”
I pressed him. “What do you mean by that?” His face took on an incredulous look. “You have
to ask me?” At that moment I felt a little foolish. Complex hum an problems, at least to me, often prevent people from being happy. To Marty it was a matter of common sense. I wondered, what was I missing? That night Marty told me a story that was very personal for him. I knew Marty and Mickey had four children. I didn’t know there had been a fifth. She was their second child. She died shortly after birth.
“The funeral director was a super guy,” Marty said. “He knew we didn’t have any money, but he told us he would take care of our little girl. He went out and built a wood casket (小盒) for her.”
Mart y’s voice started to break. “He only charged us five dollars. It’s stuff like that. You can look for the good in people and you’ll find the good. You can look for the bad in people and you’ll find the bad.”
I didn’t know what it was like to grow up poor. Marty’s life was filled with minimum-wage jobs, borrowing on insurance policies, and working overtime to make a little more money.
In my lifetime I had seen people in similar circumstances grow angry. Bitterness took hold of their lives and choked them.
“I never had much money, and I don’t think I ever will.” Marty said. “People think they need to have a lot of things to make them happy. They ought to look around and see what’s really important.” When Marty lo oked around, he saw the most beautiful girl in the world as his wife, four children who loved him, a home he took pride in, and a job that made him feel alive. He was happy because, in his mind, he had it all.
40. The underlined word “incredulous” in the text can be replaced by “_____”.
A. embarrassed
B. curious
C. disappointed
D. skeptical
41. Marty shared one of his personal stories to _____.
A. tell the author he experienced something sad
B. prove the funeral director was a good person
C. tell the author to find the goodness in life
D. help those who gave him a hand once
42. What does the author learn from Marty?
A. Everyone needs to live a hard life.
B. Everyone can choose to be happy.
C. Never let others affect your mood.
D. Complex problems can become simple.
43. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The source of happiness
B. The pleasure of life
C. The importance of family
D. The meaning of kindness
C
We probably all know people, either at work or in our personal lives, who are really good listeners. No matter what kind of situation we’re in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we’re not offended or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions. They don’t get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.
People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI. They know themselves very well, and they’re also able to sense the emotional needs of others.
As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical ability, companies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote someone. For example, one large cosmetics (化妆品) company recently revised their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates based on emotional intelligence. The result? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception (洞察力) of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.
44. According to the passage, we’re all probably impressed by people who _____.
A. are ready to help others
B. are very successful in their lives
C. have high emotional intelligence
D. know how to control their temper
45. By mentioning the cosmetics company, the author tries to _____.
A. stress the importance of emotional intelligence
B. speak highly of its new salespeople
C. show its effective hiring system
D. explain what improvements it has made
46. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_____”.
A. your emotions
B. people around you
C. effective relationships
D. your opinions of others
47. What’s most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. What emotional intelligence is.
B. How emotional intelligence can be improved.
C. Many books on emotional intelligence.
D. More people with high emotional intelligence.
D
The other night as I was getting ready for bed, I turned off my phone and put it on the dresser. My 17 year-o ld daughter stared at me in disbelief. “But, Mom,” she shouted, “it’s so far away!”
For today’s youth, technology isn’t just a handy way to keep in touch or organize your daily life; it’s as necessary as eating and breathing — and seems to come just as naturally. Between smart phones, iPods, video games, and the Internet, being wired is a way of life. The average teen sends more than 50 texts a day; younger children spend over 10 hours a week playing video games; the amount or time all kids spend online daily has increased a lot in the past 10 years.
We’re just beginning to assess how this nonstop connectivity (连接) is affecting our kids’social and intellectual development. It’s increasingly clear that it’s changing the nature of children’s relationships to each other, to their families, and to the world around them. It may even be rewiring their brains.
In a world where plagiarism (剽窃) is just a Wikipedia click away, and people have hundreds
of online friends they’ve never met, helping your kids make smart choices has never been more important. And technology is changing so rapidly that it can be hard to keep up. Just a few years ago, a 10-year-old with a cell-phone could do little with it beyond placing a call. Now, handing her one is giving her the ability to text, go online and send and receive photos.
The idea that parents need to get involved in their children’s digital lives as actively as they do in academic or sports activities is still new. The digital field is a positive place for kids. It promotes a lot of healthy habits like socialization and a sense of connectedness to the greater world. But children need guidance.
48. When the author put her phone on the dresser, her daughter felt _____.
A. angry
B. amazed
C. upset
D. disappointed
49. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Modern technology is developing very fast.
B. Technology helps today’s youth live a better life.
C. Today’s youth can keep up with technology easily.
D. Being wired is a necessary part of today’s youth’s life.
50. The author mentioned “plagiarism” and “online friends” in the fourth paragraph to show _____.
A. the dangerous side of digital life
B. the benefits of digital life
C. the fast pace of digital life
D. the changes of digital life
