Business is booming, so we need your help. This would be the perfect job for a person desiring a job that keeps them fit, while providing a fun and interesting job that gets you out of the office. Our hours are Monday to Friday, from noon to 8:00 pm, leaving your morning and weekends free.‎ Ideal candidates possess excellent customer service skills. Our customers place a lot of value on reliability, so we are interested in people who have a good work ethic(职业道德) and honor their commitments. All-season cycling experience is a big plus. A reliable bicycle is a MUST to be considered for this position.‎ We know that this is the Internet era, and most of you are used to e-mailing your applications to employers. However, because we like to get a good feel for each applicant, we would like you to apply in person.‎ Address: Roadwise Couriers Job Location: Albany ‎ Quartermain Building, Suite #91 Position Available: Immediately ‎ 104 Osterman Road Posted: 3/12‎ ‎ Albany, NY20174‎ Roadwise Couriers Quartermain Building, Suite #91‎ ‎104 Osterman Road Albany, NY20174‎ Dears Ms. Lemmon,‎ I am writing in response to the bicycle courier placed in the Albany Times last week. I want to write before I come in, so as to save time for both of us. I am a full time college student at Albany State looking for work, and am interested in becoming a courier with Roadwise.‎ I have most of the necessary skills your advertisement suggested: I have a very good bicycle that, except for the occasional flat tire, never fails to get me from my dormitory to my classes. I have a good work ethic, as evidenced by the high grades I have received in college. I have never been a courier before, but I am very comfortable with my bike and quite familiar with the Albany area.‎ I do have a question about the position, however. My question is actually about your work hours. I am not against working late but it seems to me that it would be quite dangerous to work after 6:00 pm, at certain times of the year, particularly over the winter months, due to the lack of sunlight. Bicycling at night is always dangerous. It’s difficult to see road dangers ahead of you and it’s difficult for vehicles to see you.‎ If you are still interested in hiring me, I believe I would make an excellent courier for your company. Please call me at 717-912-1551 if you have additional questions.‎ Sincerely,‎ David Sword ‎21. What must the applicants have in order to apply for the job?‎ ‎ A. A bicycle permit B.

Willingness to work late into the evening as a courier ‎24. Which of the following is to the disadvantage of David?‎ ‎ A. Workplace B. Work hours C. Work equipment D. Work ethic B ‎ Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all--Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched, the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.‎ Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.‎ All 25 teachers involved reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.‎ American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students have been extremely encouraging.‎ The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers--it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.‎ ‎25. From the passage we can learn that .‎ A. Experts recorded students’ calorie consumption in person B. Success with stand-up desks can be found in several countries C. It’s easier for kids in higher grades to adapt to the new desks D. Students will feel unhappy because the officials are cruel to them ‎26. What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?‎ A. The standing desks can’t be used at all B. The students are different in personality C. It is good for students to use stand-up desks D. More tests should be done in other schools about the stand-up desks ‎27. What is the author’s attitude to the change of desks?‎ A. positive B. negative C. indifferent D. ‎ worried ‎28. What is probably the best title for the passage?‎ A. A new change will take place in America B. New desks will replace traditional ones C. Teachers will benefit from the new desks D. Students’ reactions to the new desks are different C ‎ People who play computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests.‎ ‎ In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(认知的) skills didn’t get any smarter.‎ More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.‎ They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment.‎ Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet.‎ ‎“If you’re(playing these games) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britain’s Medical Research Council. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isn’t the case.”‎ Computer games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work.‎ ‎“There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world,” said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, US.‎ Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.‎ Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun.‎ ‎“If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful,” said Philip Adey, a professor of psychology at King’s College in London.‎ If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.‎ He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to ‎ improve their brain power. “To stimulate(激发) the intellect, you need a real challenge,” Adey said, “Getting smart is hard work.”‎ ‎29. According to the article, which of the following is NOT useful to develop brain power?‎ A. Learning a language B. Getting some physical exercise C. Playing challengeable games D. playing fun games ‎30. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. Playing brain games is as effective a means of improving the brain as Super Mario B. Playing Super Mario is a better means of improving the brain C. Playing brain games can’t improve cognitive skills D. Playing computer games can train the brain ‎31. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Many studies show that brain games are an effective means of improving cognitive skills B. The skills used in brain games can be transferred to real life C. Participants took IQ test twice during the research on the effectiveness of brain games D. Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skills than video games ‎32. Which is another way of summing up Adey’s argument in the last paragraph?‎ A. Practice makes perfect B. Where there is a will, there is a way C. No pains, no gains D. A bad beginning makes a bad ending D ‎ There are those rare teachers, perhaps one or two at every school, who pride themselves with how late they stay after school. But for most teachers, the truth is that staying late is a mistake. You may wonder why.‎ ‎ After a long day of teaching, a long day on their feet talking, making decisions, and managing their classes, their minds won’t be nearly as sharp and clear as they were when they arrived in the morning. They’ll have a harder time concentrating and a harder time knowing what needs to be accomplished. Thus, everything they do will take more time.‎ ‎ It’s natural for teachers to want to get relaxed after students leave the classroom. It’s another day in the books, another day giving it their all. It’s only normal to want to straighten things up, organize their rooms a bit, and then get away-to go and read a book, exercise, or get home to their families. Denying this need day after day will tear them up inside and cause a great amount of stress.‎ ‎ Parents show up at their doors, colleagues need to talk about this and that, and former students stop in to say hello…The truth is that planning and preparing after school can be ‎ exercises in fits and starts. Add to the fact that when their minds need a break, they’ll look for every excuse and every reason not to get down to work. It becomes a daily, unhappy battle of willpower.‎ ‎ To be the best teacher they can be for their students, to have patience, calmness, and likability, to have spot-on classroom management and a passion for teaching, they must get away from it. They must afford themselves a daily mental and physical escape exit. Otherwise, they’ll burn out. They’ll be uptight or nervous, short-fused, dissatisfied, and are not good for anyone—friends, family, or students.‎ ‎33. In the author’s opinion, if a teacher stays for work after school, he/she .‎ ‎ A. will have more time than others B. will form a good habit in the end C. won’t accomplish anything at all D. won’t really work at his/her best ‎34. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Teachers don’t really want to work B. Teachers are often disturbed by others C. Teachers have to start work over again D. Teachers need exercises to keep focused ‎35. According to the last paragraph, staying late after school is .‎ ‎ A. discouraging B. disappointing C. harmful D. common 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。‎ Emotional eating ‎ Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. 36 Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom? Have you ever downed cookie after cookie preparing for a big test? But when done a lot--especially without realizing it--emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.‎ ‎ 37 One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. 38 ‎ Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. 39 It’s not easy to ‎ ‎“unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.‎ We’re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. 40 That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.‎ Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.‎ A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like E. What drives emotional eating?‎ F. Boys seem to prefer hot comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ One afternoon, a woman I didn’t know stood in front of our door.‎ ‎ She was not all right.

If so, then how do we identify 51 as neighbors or citizens when we won’t greet one another 52 proper introductions and background checks?

When someone 56 me for help, I have to 57 : Do I help them or not?‎ ‎ I believe repeatedly 58 others who need help endangers me, too. I’d rather risk my physical safety than my 59 of mind.
