Thus,similar to humans,dogs that have bad relationships with their caregivers see changes in their development.According to Smuts,adolescent dogs that were stressed by separation from their caregiver also increasingly disobeyed that person,showing the insecurity of human teenagers.Because of the similarity between adolescent pups and humans,dogs can serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans,the scientists say.The temporary nature of dogs which disobey the owners may make us worry less when our pups suddenly get minds of their own.24.The author's attitude towards his dog's misbehavior can be best described asA.tolerant B.delighted C.unsatisfied D.indifferent25.The underlined word"disregard"in paragraph 3 probably means"A.run after B.pay no attention to C.bark at D.defend against26.What can we learn about adolescent dogs from the passage?A.Many adolescent dogs like staying in American shelters.B.Adolescent dogs will never follow their owners' instructions.C.Adolescent dogs are fond of being separated from their caregivers.D.Dogs having poor relation with their caregivers enter adolescence earlier.27.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Both young dogs and teenagers rely on their parents.B.Many researches have shown young dogs are aggressive.C.Adolescent dogs feel more anxious and frightened than teenagers.D.Like human teenagers,dogs get difficult when they reach adolescence.CCOVID-19(新冠病毒）is a threat to the very people fighting it-nurses,doctors, and other first responders,who are exposed to infected patients.Now,a team has developed two devices(设备）that could reduce their risks by sucking away infectious bacteria:a helmet to be worn by a patient,and a small tent in which a patient could be protected.The inventors hope they'll reduce the deaths among healthcare workers.Negative-pressure rooms have been used in hospitals since the 1980s to keep airborne bacteria from spreading.But Nathan Haas says such rooms cost about$12,000. He and his colleagues wanted to develop a cheaper way to create a negative pressure environment for patients.The new devices could lower the need for negative-pressure rooms,which are rare in many parts of the world,according to Haas.The helmet can be used when staff transport patients and the tent can protect the upper body of a bed-bound patient wearing a mask,allowing staff to perform several procedures.＂They represent a really simple solution to potentially helping reduce virus spread and increase the safety of healthcare workers,as well as patient safety,"says Ben Bassin.When the researchers tested their devices with a healthy volunteer,they saw 97% to 99%fewer bacteria outside the devices than inside.They also tested the devices' ease of use and comfort with seven COVID-19 patients.The response from patients and staff was good,Bassin says.But Reuben Strayer notes the tests did not prove that these devices work to protect medical staff in real-life situations.He says he wants to see independent effect,"to see if they perform as they are advertised."28.The following statements are true EXCEPTA.The devices are not complicated to useB.People have already used the devices widelyC.The effect of the devices remains to be seenD.Negative-pressure rooms are not common because of the high cost29.What will most probably be discussed in the following paragraph?A.The advantages of the devices.B.Different appearances of the devices.C.Measures to put the devices into practice.D.The reasons for inventing the devices.30. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To inform readers of the devices.B.To praise the efforts of the researchers.C.To stress the importance of the devices.D.To encourage people to buy the devices.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。Tips on Handling Rejection in Your CareerI have experienced many noes in my life.And yet,the noes haven't held me back. 31 Whenever I get a no,I view it as an invitation-to explore new ways to cooperate,perhaps at another time. Most importantly,noes encourage my persistence(坚持不懈）. 32Don't take the no personally.It's just business.Don't allow yourself to feel useless because someone rejects your application or says that they don't see an opportunity to work with you.As far as I'm concerned,it may have been a case of bad timing.Don't shy away from being persistent.Persistence in the face of challenges,failures, and unexpected situations is the mark of a good employee.33 This extra effort may even get you noticed as displaying a valuable quality.Be respectful.You won't get anywhere if you respond to a rejection with a hurt or bitter response.Honor the other person.Even if the final response is no,let the other party know you are still interested in working with them should an opportunity arise.Be aware of cultural standards.Keep in mind that cultural standards regarding persistence vary.In some countries,it's perfectly OK to email someone twice a month to keep in touch with them.34 So,study up on the culture in which you want to take part and respect its rules.I will continue to receive noes throughout my life.But I'm not afraid of them. 35 For me,that's been an important part of my career advancement and professional development.A.Instead,they've served as an inspiration to me.B.I've built up my resistance to noes by being persistent.C.However,constant phone calls are improper sometimes.D.There's nothing wrong with a follow-up email or phone call.E.On the contrary,people might consider it polite and favorable.F.But that might be seen as rude and invasive in other countries.G.To be persistent in the face of noes,I'd like to share a few rules.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题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。Michael Evans was standing in line at the Treasurer's Office last August. 36, he heard a disturbing sound ahead of him.The elderly woman at the window was crying, and so was the cashier helping her.Then Evans 37 that the woman would lose her house because she could not 38 the taxes.He was also 39 that the woman's daughter had recently 40Evans,a 41 who had just buried his father,couldn't 42 the idea of this woman losing her house right after losing her child.He 43 the window."Sorry to interrupt,"he said to the cashier,"44 if you can get her house back,I'll pay for her taxes."The amount due:$5,000.The two women were surprised.Their despair(绝望）turned to 45.The cashier left for a moment to 46 the amount and that it was 47 for Evans to pay it.
