Introduction to Jobs Week B Jack was born without eyes. He’s very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one can take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.‎ When we first brought him home Jack stayed mostly in my room. He walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. After about a day he had no issues running around, jumping onto my bed and climbing on everything. He went through a time where he could climb the stairs, but couldn’t get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented he’ll stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.‎ Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run (at top speed!) around the back yard and gardens. Bear and Jack have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see, Jack always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They chase each other around and wrestle, and when they’re tired they’ll lie down in the grass together.‎ Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. Heck, for all he knows, all cats are just like him. People who know Jack don’t feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who haven’t met him personally who tend to pity him, but they just don’t understand. Jack doesn’t need pity. I think Jean (who has Gumbo the eyeless ginger) said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.‎ ‎24. According to the first paragraph, Jack __________.‎ A. got seriously disabled after birth B. had a good time in the place where he was born C. ended up wandering in the street at first D. grew up lonely and sad ‎25. When Jack first came to the authors house, he __________.‎ A. would cry when he felt lonely B. was very happy and played wildly in the room C. had difficulty getting down the stairs D. always needed someone to guide him ‎26. Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “disoriented”?‎ A. Hurt. B. Caught. C. Lost. D. Broken.‎ ‎27. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?‎ A. Jack needs people’s pity.‎ B. All disabled cats have strong adaptabilities.‎ C. People always feel sad for Jack.‎ D. Jack’s story has inspired people.‎ C Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the Starter, you can See smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays (光线) left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.‎ Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”‎ ‎28. Light speed is __________ sound speed.‎ A. as fast as B. a million times slower than C. about millions of times faster than D. about a million times faster than ‎29. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that __________.‎ A. you can hear the sound before you see the smoke B. the sound does not travel as fast as light C. the sound will reach you before the man fires D. sound travels about a million times faster than light ‎30. Sunlight obviously (显然的) __________ than the light of the moon.‎ A. has to travel a greater distance B. moves less quickly C. travels much more quickly D. is less powerful ‎31. The scientific way of saying “The stars are shining tonight” should be __________.‎ A. the stars have been shining all the time B. the stars seen tonight will shine four years later C. the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight D. the starlight seen today could be sera four years ago D Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.‎ The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University‎, ‎Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa District They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas. The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 ‎ and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in lie new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.‎ Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we .get out in the suit But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.‎ If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time. you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.‎ Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.‎ ‎32. You would most likely find the article in __________.‎ A. a medical magazine B. a travel journal C. a doctors diary D. a physics textbook ‎33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Eye exposure to small amounts of UV rays may cause total blindness.‎ B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm them at all.‎ C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.‎ D. The study was conducted only by researchers from Japan.‎ ‎34. If a place is 1500 meters higher, the amount of light increases __________.‎ A.4 percent B. 12pcrcent C.20 percent D.50 percent ‎35. What will the passage most probably talk about next?‎ A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.‎ B. Measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.‎ C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.‎ D. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined. .‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分；共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。‎ Maybe you have heard the expression “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
