The general purpose of this notice is to provide guests with_________. A. a summary of the daily routine of the hotel B. instructions about the running of the hotel C. facts about the running of the hotel D. regulations they may be informed during their stay 22. The appropriate sign that can be hung on the door handle_________. A. suggests the room cleaning has been completed B. indicates the time when the room can be cleaned C. requests the postponement of room cleaning D. informs the maid that the room is now ready for cleaning 23. After 11:00 p.m. guests are_________. A. instructed to make less noise B. required to turn off their radios and TVs C. requested not to do entertainment indoors D. reminded that any kind of sound in their rooms can disturb others B Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people’s home and I visited her there when I was in Britain. She was sitting in the living room with about 15 other residents, mostly 4 women, half of them asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures, and the care assistants were kind and cheerful. “The Weakest Link” was on TV (“to keep their brains active” one of the assistants said,) and the only other sound was snoring and embarrassing digestive noises. It was depressing. Gran talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren (my nieces aged 7 and 5), but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there, and to be frank, I couldn’t wait to get away myself. So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple but revolutionary, combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening, and caring for the pets, which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a hug and a kind of lap to sit on. The advantages are great for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearances too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more and more old people are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies. 24. What was wrong with the home that the writer’s grandmother was in? A. The old weren’t looked after properly. B. Children weren’t allowed to visit. C. The old were not getting along well. D. The residents were not made active. 25. What was the new concept that the writer read about in the newspaper? A. Old people being allowed to keep pets. B. A nursery school inside an old people’s home. C. Children visiting old people for lunch and birthdays. D. Old people staying at home with their grandchildren. 26. _________are more active and more interested in life at this new type of old people’s home. A. The staff B. The seniors C. The parents D. The children 27. What does the author think is a major problem in society at present? A. There is not much contact between the old and the young. B. The breakdown of the extended family. C. Seniors are lonely and unhappy. D. The families keep moving around. C While most consumers wish to reduce plastic waste, it’s not an easy goal to achieve. That’s because the cheap and long-lived material is found in almost every daily necessities. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious solution. 5 David Christian, the cofounder of Evoware, says after investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for containers, seaweed does not require water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. Since Indonesian farmers harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s easy to find the material. The seaweed packaging is safe to consume and can entirely dissolve (溶解) in hot water. While other eatable wrappers (包装纸) may not have any taste, Dubbed Ello Jello, the single-use cups invented by Evoware, are available in four tastes — orange, lychee, peppermint, and greentea. The best part? You can order the powder and make them at home! Though currently they cannot stand hot liquids, Evoware is working on making heat-resistant cups as well. While the seaweed products seem like a perfect replacement, it’s a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem unnecessary.”Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price once the company moves to mass production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing people worldwide that switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful planet. 28. How does seaweed differ from corn? A. It sells better. B. It’s less expensive. C. It takes less labor to process. D. It needs less resources to grow. 29. What character do seaweed wrappers have? A. They melt in cold water. B. They are easy to break down. C. They can be made at home. D. They come in your favorite tastes. 30. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Plastic containers. B. Evoware’s current cups. C. Heat-resistant cups. D. Eatable packaging. 31. What can we infer from Christian’s words in the last paragraph? A. The price of plastics will go down. B. Indonesians care little about the planet. C. It takes much effort to promote the new product. D. The seaweed products need much improvement. D In a study published in Frontiers in Psychology, European neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) determines that our fears of snakes and spiders are inborn, even babies become alarmed at the sight of them. How did they figure it out? Well, they “scared” some babies for science! Though not everyone is frightened of snakes and spiders, studies have shown more than a third of the child population and adult population have a strong dislike of them, and they’re the most reported specific fear sources. Even though poisonous spiders and snakes aren’t a huge problem for most of us now, they’re still “ancestral threats” our primate ancestors had to deal with for millions of years. Scientists have already shown these fears are deep-seated to most people, but they are usually in 6 adults or adolescents, so it is possible they’ve learned such fears from their environments. To really prove whether or not human brains are automatically wired to dislike snakes and spiders, the experiments had to test people with almost no environmental influence: babies. For this study, the neuroscientists showed 16 six-month-olds pictures of snakes and fish, and spiders and flowers. The idea was to match the scary animals with visually similar non-threats, to make sure it was really the snakes or spiders the babies would react to. And they did react, as eye-tracking software made clear: their pupils (瞳孔) were noticeably bigger when looking at the spiders and snakes, which corresponded to a much greater stress reaction. But it’s a success, since the results do suggest we have an inborn developed system in our brains that is specifically adapted to noticing, and not much caring for, snakes and spiders. So as you’re deciding on the decorations for Halloween, and trying not to scare your friends too much, keep in mind just how deep some fears go. And, if you have a baby you don’t mind scaring just a little bit, the right decoration could be the perfect chance for some DIY neuroscience! 32. Why did the European neuroscientists choose babies to carry out the experiment? A. To prove the environment has no influence on our fears of snakes and spider. B. To show that their brains are different from those of the adults. C. To make it easy to control the environments of the babies. D. To show most fears are learned from babies. 33. In the experiment, the scientists tested the babies by _________. A. making them look at the model snakes and spiders B. monitoring their eyes’ reactions to the pictures C. stressing the babies with some software D. making comparisons between different babies’ pupils 34. We can learn from the text that _________. A. approximately one third of people dislike spiders and snakes B. poisonous spiders and snakes have caused many problems C. adults have learned their fears from their experiences D. the experiment results indicate we fear spiders and snakes by nature 35. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Frightening decorations for Halloween should not go too far. B. Snakes and spiders should be used for Halloween decorations. C. The babies should not be scared on earth on Halloween. D. It is better to turn to neuroscientists to decorate Halloween. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is no short cut to success.

He walked away from his real estate career to commit his life to 68 (help) others change their lives and overcome their challenges. He became a public speaker.
