I still recall that day: it was warm but breezy, everyone was in a good mood, and we finished ahead of schedule. Certainly, I was too young to do any heavy lifting, but I remember feeling a wave of emotion when we completed the project.‎ To now, I’m still addicted to that feeling. I still love giving back to the place I now call home, the San Francisco Bay Area. Many animals shelters in California lack staff, including the City of Stockton Animal Shelter. My background is in marketing, and in my spare time, I act as webmaster to keep their website up to date.‎ And with a love for animals, I recently just started at Rabbit Rescue as a rabbit socializer! I spend 2 hours a week hanging out with rabbits to make them perfect pets. From just sitting with them to get them used to humans or playing with them to give them exercise, it is the perfect excuse to get out and help animals in need!‎ As you can tell, I have a soft spot for animals. Even as a young child, I wanted to be the voice for them. As I grew older and gained more professional talents, skilled volunteering is where I found the greatest reward when using my marketing skills for good and playing with rabbit—now that’s volunteer heaven!‎ Many people do not want to bring work home. But what if you were using your” work” to help a cause! That is why I think skilled volunteering is so important. Countless nonprofit organizations do not have the budget to hire for every skill. With skilled volunteering, professionals can set aside a few hours a month for specific tasks like graphic designing and accounting. Next time you’re looking for a volunteer job, consider using your professional skills to make a difference!‎ 24. We can learn from the first paragraph that .‎ A. The writer finished the work on schedule B. The first memory of volunteering is still fresh C. The writer was old enough to lift heavy things D. It was rather cold on the first day of his volunteering ‎25. In his free time, the writer .‎ A. volunteers as a webmaster B. learns marketing skills C. looks for a volunteer job D. works for a rabbit socializer 26. In the writer's eyes, he can find the greatest reward from ______.‎ ‎ A training rabbits B. helping animals C. professional talents D. skilled volunteering ‎27. In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us ______.‎ A . the ways to become a skilled volunteer B. the importance of skilled volunteering C. how to use skills to make a difference D. how to spend our spare time ‎ C Many of us are used to hearing stories of people being pick-pocketed(扒窃) in busy places. But most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe--at least, we think we are.‎ According to a BBC report, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack(侵入) our mind’s weaknesses ” to get their hands on our possessions.‎ ‎“In fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isn’t having quick fingers,” said the report. By using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loop-holes(漏洞) in our brains.‎ Our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets, the report explains. While this can often be a good trait, allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings. “a good trickster can use it against you,” said neuroscientist Suzana Martinez-Conde.‎ ‎“It’s all about directing people’s attention toward something else,” said James Brown, who studies the tricks of pick-pocketing. Confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc(弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.‎ Groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims. The first gang member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. A second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. In the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.‎ Some thieves go even further to exploit(利用) our psychology by hanging out new signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. Since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.‎ But according to Brown, as long as we don’t daydream in public, we shouldn’t be worried.‎ ‎“A street thief will avoid like the plague(瘟疫) people who are demonstrating(展现) a very open awareness of their environment,” he said. ‎ ‎28.According to the BBC report, the main strategy of a successful pick-pocket is ____________.‎ A. to distract victims B. to give themselves multiple tasks to do ‎ C. to used swift hand movements D. to focus on the most important details ‎ ‎29.When groups of pick-pockets use their common trick, _________.‎ A. it is the third thief’s task to steal what they can from the victim B. the victim usually doesn’t dare to argue with them C. Two members bump into the victim from different directions at the same time D. the victim usually get confused and lets down his or her guard ‎30.Why do some thieves hang out near signs saying like “beware of pick-pocketers”?‎ A. They have a better chance of locating people’s valuables there.‎ B. They think it is more thrilling to steal in those areas C. Normally there are no police officers around.‎ D. They don’t know common people’s psychology.‎ ‎31.According to James Brown, which of the following types of person is more likely to be pick-pocketed?‎ ‎ A. People who look weak. B. People who are walking slowly.‎ ‎ C. People who are absent-minded.‎ ‎ D. People who are alert to their surroundings.‎ ‎ D ‎ ‎ Though there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely, Zoque Ayapaneco, a native Mexican language is considered the most ‎ likely to become extinct, because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!‎ And, it's not because they live in different countries, states or even villages. In fact, Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez, both in their 70s, live within 500 yards of each other, in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They, however, refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.‎ Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago, and still manages to practice it with his family, especially his son Manuel, who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand, has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.‎ The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village, but the younger generation shunned it for fear of being laughed at, and it therefore began to die a slow death, as the elders passed away.‎ Unless the two men get their acts together, the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.‎ We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.‎ ‎32. What do we know about Zoque Ayapaneco?‎ A. It will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.‎ B. It will be popular in Mexico in the near future.‎ C. It was widely used twelve years ago. ‎ D. It is a Southern American language.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. ‎ A. favored B. identified C. were unwilling to learn D. protected ‎34. From the passage, we can conclude that________.‎ A. altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.‎ B. Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soon C. the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque Ayapaneco D. we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”‎ ‎35. What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A. World's endangered languages are being filmed.‎ B. Villagers are trying to protect their old language.‎ C. An endangered language is spoken by only two people.‎ D. There are a lot of languages in Mexico.‎ 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。‎ ‎ Many of us are so busy with work, school and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy.

My plans were to get married and enjoy a honeymoon in New Zealand, until the end of January, when I had to begin my next job. However, at the last minute, I found out that my next job would not begin until March.‎ So now I had an extra month available and since I had already been halfway around the world, the idea of an Australian tour came. My wife still had to go back to work after the honeymoon part of the trip, so I was planning on a tour myself.‎ On February 8, my wife and I separated in Christchurch, New Zealand.She returned home to Los Angeles, and I continued going on to Australia alone.‎
