11．For nearly a decade now，Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist.Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis（危機） in the late 2000s.The downturn hit the real estate（房地產(chǎn)）firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager.The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.One day，while driving near her home，she saw a dog wandering on the road，clearly lost.She took it home，and her sister in Denver agreed to take it.This was a loving home for sure，but 1，600 miles away.It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself.It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth's pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust.It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana，Washington and Oregon，she says proudly.If she wants to visit a new place，she will simply find a pet with transport needs there.She travels in all weathers.She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming，heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father，she says.He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old，because he wanted them to explore a new place together.As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast，away from her parents，where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about ＄30，000 per year before tax.She doesn't work in summer，as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car，even with air conditioning.As autumn comes，she gets restless- -the same old wanderlust returning.It's a call she must heed alone，though.Merebeth says，"When I am on the road，I'm just in my own world.I've always been independent- spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals."
（1）Why did Merebeth changed her job？
A．She wanted to work near her home.

C．Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D．Her former employer was out of business.
（2）The word "wanderlust" in paragraph 2 means a desire to.

C．be close to nature.
D．travel to different places.
（3）What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job？

C．She relies on herself the whole time.

12．One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of
Julius Caesar. "Brutus was not an honourable man，" he said. "He was a traitor（叛徒）.And he murdered someone in cold blood." The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him.He made a bad decision，they said - at least as it was presented by Shakespeare - to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar.And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind，Caesar was nevertheless his superior. "You have to understand，" the executives said，"our policy is to obey the chain of command."
During the last few years，business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare's wisdom for profitable ends.None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman，well-known former advisers to the White House，who started up a training company called "Movers and Shakespeares".They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers，and they have combined their passion and their high-level contacts into a management training business.They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually，dealing with half a dozen different plays，mostly for corporations，but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form，focusing on a single play as a kind of case study，and using individual scenes as specific lessons.In Julius Caesar，for example，Cassius's sly provocation（狡詐的挑唆）of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organizing.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature，the programs contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background.Their workshop on Henry V，for example，includes a helpful explanation of Henry's winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt.But they do come to the text with a few biases（偏向）：their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power.Instead，they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader.And at the workshop on Caesar，Mr.Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus，saying "the noblest Roman of them all" couldn't make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related.Caesar's pride，which led to his murder，and Brutus's mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder，they said，raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss？
（1）According to paragraph 1，what did all the executives think of Brutus？
A．Cruel.
B．Superior.
C．Honourable.
D．Rude.
（2）According to the passage，the Adelmans set up "Movers and Shakespeares" to.
A．help executives to understand Shakespeare's plays better
B．give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare's plays
C．provide case studies of Shakespeare's plays in literature workshops
D．guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare's plays
（3）Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V？
A．To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B．To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C．To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D．To warn executives against power misuse.
（4）It can be inferred from the passage that.
A．the Adelmans' program proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B．executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare's plays
C．the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D．Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field組卷：12引用：2難度：0.5 -
13．Do you take a fancy to Olaf，the snowman in the movie Frozen？You'll find an ancestor of Olaf when looking into many of history's cultural symbols.It appeared on some of the first postcards，starred in some of the earliest silent movies，and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos，dating all the way back to the 1800s.I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.
For example，snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages，built with great skill and thought.At a time of limited means of expression，snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists，including a 19-year-old Michelangelo，who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence，Italy，to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen-an impressive scene that told stories on every street comer.Some were political in nature，criticizing the church and government.Some were a reflection of people's imagination.For the people of Brussels，this was a defining moment of artistic freedom，at least until spring arrived，by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed，don't worry：I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich，Switzerland，celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April，the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung six times，representing the passing of winter，the pile is lit.When the snowman explodes，winter is considered officially over～the quicker it is burnt down，the longer summer is said to be.
（1）According to the passage，why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？
A．People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B．People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C．Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D．Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
（2）"The heyday of the snowman" （Paragraph 4）probably means the time when.
A．snowmen were made mainly by artists
B．snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C．snowmen were politically criticized
D．snowmen caused damaging floods
（3）In Zurich，the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes.
A．the start of the parade
B．the coming of a longer summer
C．the passing of the winter
D．the success of tradesmen
（4）What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？
A．They were appreciated in history.
B．They have lost their value.
C．They were related to movies.
D．They vary in shape and size.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.5 -
14．Enough"meaningless drivel"．That's the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data．
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report，released last week，has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark （認證標記） to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions．
"The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone，"says Andrew Miller，the chair of the committee．Instead，he says，firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms．The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original．
It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme，but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis．"We need to think through how we make that work in practice，"says Miller．
Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark"I think if you went and did the survey，people would like to think they would，"says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton，UK，who studies open data．"We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information．But what would happen in practice is another matter，"he says．
Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand，but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new．"We still don't know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years'time，"he says．
Shadbolt，who gave evidence to the committee，says the problem is that we don't know how companies will
use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving．
"Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently，"he says．The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don't expect，even if users have apparently given permission，show that the current situation isn't working．If properly administered，a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to，although they would still have to actually read them．
（1）What does the phrase"meaningless drivel"in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to？
A．Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to．
B．Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites．
C．Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly．
D．Insignificant data collected by social media firms．
（2）It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether．
A．social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B．people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C．a(chǎn) kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D．the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
（3）Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because．
A．their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B．the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C．the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D．it remains unknown how users' data will be taken advantage of
（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？
A．Say no to social media？
B．New security rules in operation？
C．Accept without reading？
D．Administration matters!組卷：3引用：2難度：0.6
