She wasn’t aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.‎ ‎ After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.‎ ‎ That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother’s. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers. I left the waiters a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were on our way.‎ ‎ I’ve been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention. We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to pay for someone else’s meal.‎ ‎4. Why did Debra go out after trying some tofu?‎ A. To bring her mother in. B. To look after her mother.‎ C. To get away from the food. D. To look for another restaurant.‎ ‎5. What did Debra insist on?‎ A. Hugging the author’s wife. B. Ordering a meal for the author.‎ C. Treating the author and his wife D. Tipping the waiters and waitress.‎ ‎6. How did the workers feel when seeing the exchange between four strangers?‎ A. Curious. B. Funny.‎ C. Surprised. D. Touched.‎ ‎7. What can we know about the author and Debra?‎ A. They’ve been friends. B. They were both vegans.‎ C. They met for the first time. D. They once worked together.‎ C ‎ Dogs are our best friends. That’s especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search and rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs’ amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It’s taking smell detection(探测) to a whole new level.‎ ‎ The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds(化合物) from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.‎ ‎ The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. "Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery," says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering&Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at unbelievably low levels.‎ ‎ The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. "Ideally, this technology could replace search and rescue dogs," Pratsinis says.‎ ‎ Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, "I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs." Taylor also pointed out some potential limitations of the new invention. "E-noses are useful, but can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption," he says.‎ ‎8. Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning?‎ A. To catch the readers’ attention.‎ B. To introduce the topic about e-noses.‎ C. To show what search and rescue dogs do.‎ D. To add background information for discussion.‎ ‎9. Which of the following best explains "bulky" underlined in paragraph 2?‎ A. Complex B. Fragile C. Handy D. Large ‎10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A. What e-noses’ working principle is.‎ B. How e-noses are made.‎ C. What differences between dogs and e-noses are.‎ D. How powerful e-noses are.‎ ‎11. What does Stephen Taylor mean?‎ A. Dogs and e-noses could work together.‎ B. Search and rescue dogs will retire soon.‎ C. E-noses are more reliable than noses of dogs.‎ D. Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.‎ D ‎ To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.‎ ‎ In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority(少数) of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to fight against the false idea that they are not responsible. "People think we’re treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."‎ ‎ Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, co-author of the book The Only Child, says that such a person has to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience. After his father died, he chose to move his elderly ‎ mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable (易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more safety. "The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it, "he says, "After all, I am left with that responsibility."‎ ‎ In the future, more and more only children will probably face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unfair.‎ ‎12. The author’s attitude towards only children is _______ .‎ A. Critical B. Objective C. Hostile D. Unjust ‎13. It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.‎ A. found a support group for their only children B. do volunteer work to help their only children C. let their only children make all the decisions alone D. set good examples for their only children ‎14. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.‎ A. is the only one who cares about her B. doesn't want to leave her alone C. wants to share the responsibility with her D. is worried about her safety ‎15. The main idea of the passage is that ________.‎ A. only children are ruined and irresponsible B. only children have to face many challenges C. most only children want to have brothers and sisters D. most only children share their responsibility with their parents 第二节 （共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 阅读短文内容，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。‎ The Seven Cs of a Good Letter What is the secret of writing a good letter?
