阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 A The day was warm and the sun shone down like a new beginning on my life. I was waving goodbye to my son, the last one of my fledglings <刚会飞的鸟）to leave home and go to new woods. \actually\I felt so lighthearted after spending many years looking after my four children-cooking, washing, ironing, teaching them how to look after themselves and manage their financcs-that I nctually thought “At long last, freedom\HMKL8FVKua But, as I watched my last one leave, although it was a joyous occasion, I realized I had not really prepared for this day, I was too tied up with bringing up these adults of the future to realize that they would all leave the nest and lives indupendently.HMKL8FVKua At first I didn't know what \ended in me running out in tears. I started a business making soft furnishings, but that didn't work either. I got my own veggies and fruit, which lasted 3 years, until I was advised by my doctor that my feet couldn't take any more \” driven through them. HMKL8FVKua It began wondering if I did have a future of my own, I cried for the life I was used to, and hadn't known or wanted anything different.HMKL8FVKua Then one day I saw an advert for foster parents, I discussed it with my husband who was always behind everything I tried and with great disturbance I rang up the number.HMKL8FVKua I now laugh and sing with my 14-year-old foster daughter, even when my cooker is a mess and my bathroom is a disaster area. I now know, 8 years later, what “I” was meant to be doing with all the spare hours, days, and weeks I had on my hands when my hands when my last fledgling flew thenest. The sun shines once again in my home.HMKL8FVKua 56．How did the mother first feel when her last child went off to university?HMKL8FVKua A．Lonely. B．Anxious. C．Relieved. D．Annoyed. 57．The underlined phrase “was tied up with” in the second paragraph means “ ”.HMKL8FVKua A．was occupied in B．was associated with C．was tired of D．was addicted to 58．In the third paragraph, the poor mother did all the things just to .HMKL8FVKua A．live a greener and healthier life B．earn more money for her kids’ education C．shift her attention and case her anxiety D．start her own decorating business 59．What did the empty-nested mother think of her husband?HMKL8FVKua A．Skilled B．Supportive C．Stubborn D．Open-minded 60．Thanks to the foster daughter, the author .HMKL8FVKua A．got rid of her busy work B．forgot her other childrenHMKL8FVKua C．found a suitable job D．knew what she really wantedHMKL8FVKua B All police officers should be made to take an annual fitness test, with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fall, a review said. In the Metropolitan Police, more than half (52 percent> of its male officers are overweight, a fifth (22 pe cent> are obese, and one in 100 are \obese\the report showed. For women officers in the Met, a third (32 percent> are overweight, 16 per cent are obese and 2 percent are morbidly obese.HMKL8FVKua Tom Winsor, who has carried out the widest-ranging review of police pay and conditions in more than 30 years, said those who fail the test three times should be subject to disciplinary procedures and a pay cut. He also recommended that strict testing should become a requirement of promotion.HMKL8FVKua “It is clear that the existing pay system is unfair and inefficient. It was designed in 1920 and has remained largely unchanged since 1978.” Mr. Winsor said, “I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test at the point of becoming a policeman, except in special units like firearms, physical fitness is not tested again in an over-30-years career.”HMKL8FVKua He also added, ''Officers who work on the front line, exercising their powers as constables in the most difficult circumstances, have nothing to fear from this review.'' But this should get tougher by September 2018, along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland. This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which \3tWbmE5Mt4 \are not looking for supermen.\Mr Winsor predicted that many officers would welcome the proposals, saying they would see it \for themselves and the public\3tWbmE5Mt4 61．At the beginning, many figures are used to show .3tWbmE5Mt4 A．why so many police officers are being troubled by obesity3tWbmE5Mt4 B．whether most of the police officers are qualified for their job3tWbmE5Mt4 C．how serious overweight problems are among the police officers3tWbmE5Mt4 D．what are different between the male and female officers’ diets3tWbmE5Mt4 62．According to Mr Winsor, .

B．Less Weight, Fewer Chances C．A Test or A Challenge D．Lose Weight or Lose Money3tWbmE5Mt4 C We human beings need to stay in touch with nature—many studies show how much better people feel when in sight to trees. Yet even more importantly, nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can \征服）\be beyond our control-we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs, we need to consider it seriously.3tWbmE5Mt4 But how can we give a damn if we spend our lives indoors? Born South London at the end of the Second World War, at least I knew what a sparrow was (they're rare now> and you couldn't put a spade into our tiny garden without cutting a worm in half. We knew, too, that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban <极度城市化）we may have been, but at least we were in touch.3tWbmE5Mt4 Now we have a generation who frankly are not. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders, and used to park helicopters, and our crops come courtesy of Monsanto and our livestock lives in factories? They will know no other way.3tWbmE5Mt4 But if we settle for the ultra-urban life, if we allow all wilderness to be compromised and hand our farming over to industrial chemists then, quite simply, the world will fall apart – as it is doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for, and why, and why conservation matters – to us, as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategy begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.3tWbmE5Mt4 66．Which of the following opinions will the author be for?3tWbmE5Mt4 A．Technology will help humans control nature completely.3tWbmE5Mt4 B．Conquering nature is the pltinote of human socicty.3tWbmE5Mt4 C．Humans have to find a way to live in harmony with nature.3tWbmE5Mt4 D．We will lose control of nature with the development of society.3tWbmE5Mt4 67．The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past .3tWbmE5Mt4 A．were in close touch with nature B．managed to survive in the war C．killed the worms in the earth cruelly D．had a healthier diet than us 68．The new generation show no concem about the ultra-urban pattern just because .3tWbmE5Mt4 A．modern agriculture don’t need hard work B．high profits can be made by selling city land C．they are completely cut off from nature D．livestock living in factories is cheaper and tastier3tWbmE5Mt4 69．From the passage we guess that Monsanto is likely to be .3tWbmE5Mt4 A．a chemical fertilizer plant B．a scientist good at farming3tWbmE5Mt4 C．a construction corporation D．a big agricultural company3tWbmE5Mt4 70．Towards the end of the passage, the author reminds us to .3tWbmE5Mt4 A．move to the countryside B．reflect on our past b behaviors3tWbmE5Mt4 C．leave space for wild animals D．turn farms into big factories3tWbmE5Mt4 D Anyone driving on Highway I between San Francisco and Los Angeles recently may have, glimpsed a Toyota Prius with something curious-looking on the roof. Harder to notice was that the person at the wheel was not actually driving. The car is a project of Goole, which can drive themselves, using artificial intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and imitate the decisions made by a human driver.3tWbmE5Mt4
