I had seven coworkers and a boss, Mrs. King. Our job was to sort huge amounts of mail into four hundred slots( 位置). We delivered the mail out of grocery carts we wheeled from office to office, picking up outgoing mail as we went along. Each mail delivery took an entire half-day to sort and deliver.My troubles began almost as soon as I arrived. I was horrified to see that the slots were labeled not with peoples names but with their initials. Without thinking, I asked why this was a good idea, only to receive a sharp glance from Mrs. King. So I repeated the question. This time Mrs. King told me not to question what I didnt understand. It was the first of many such exchanges, and I hadnt been on the job a half-hour. The longer I worked at the job, the more I saw how inefficient all the procedures were, from delivery routes to times for coffee breaks.When I asked Mrs. King about the procedures, however, she always reacted the same way. I continued with it over the next seven weeks, but my efforts were fruitless, even counterproductive.Two months later, I was fired. I objected, of course. The personnel manager asked me if I had ever heard of the barnyard pecking order: the top chicken pecks on the one below it, the second pecks on the third, and so on all the way down the line to the lowliest chicken, whose life is a constant misery. Mrs. King, the manager said, was that lowliest chicken at the bottom of the pecking order in the agencys management. No one should doubt for a moment that she ruled her rooster.I reflected upon my adventure in the agency. Eventually I saw how arrogant, and how unsympathetic, my behavior had been. In my next job, I ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer, if I do.28.

Why was the author fired two months later?29.A He questioned his boss Mrs King endlessly. 29.B He did not work according to work procedures.29.C He worked inefficiently.29.D He did not make his efforts to work.30. What does the barnyard pecking order in paragraph 3 refer to?A. work procedureB. job moralityC. production lineD. ranking system31. What have the author learned from his job adventure?A. HonestyB. Self-confidenceC. RespectD. PerseveranceDThe combination of day and night extreme heat will only get more frequent and hotterin the future.Theres nothing like the cool relief of nightfall after a sweltering summer day. As the world warms, this natural balance may be shifting. New research suggests that a new trend is on the riseextreme heat during the day followed by extreme heat overnight.A study published this week in Nature Communications finds that these day/night extremes have become both hotter and more frequent since 1960. Across the Northern Hemisphere, they ve intensified( 增強(qiáng))by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit, and theyre occurring about five days more frequently per year.Continued warming will make it even worse, the research suggests. In a scenario involvingaround 3 degrees Celsius throughout the rest of the century (or about 5.5 F), these compound extremes will happen about four times more frequently than they do today(about eight days each summer).Thats approximately the amount of warming the world is on track for today, experts say, if greenhouse gas emissions dont start falling at a faster pace.In the future, “a hot day accompanied by a hot night without relief for humans might be a new norm, ” said study co-author Yang Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in an email to E&E News. “These rapid increases are largely overlooked in previous studies. ”Day and night extremes are more than just a matter of comfort, the authors say. They re also a potential threat to human health and natural landscapes.The study didnt directly examine human health impacts. But other research has suggested that prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can worsen the odds of heat stroke or other heat-related illnesses, and can affect plant growth. Without the reprieve of a cool evening, living things may have less opportunity to recover from the effects of the daytime heat, the authors suggest.“Current knowledge about combined daytime-nighttime hot extremes remains too sparse to inform development of type-specific adaptation and relief strategies,” the study says. “Overlooking this compounding effect may lead to serious underestimate of heat-induced consequences.”32. Which statement of day and night extremes is true according to the study?A. Theyve intensified by about 2 and occur 5 days more frequently per year globally.B. Their rapid increases have been paid much attention to by many researchers in their studies.C.They wont occur only if greenhouse gas emissions start falling during the daytimeD.Possibly they will happen about 32 days per summer through the rest of the century.33. What does the underlined word “reprieve” mean?A. shiftB. reliefC. threatD. adaptation34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Adequate researches have been done into day and night extremes.B.Humans can adapt to and relieve day and night hot extremes easily.C.Ignoring the issue on the hot extremes may contribute to severe consequences.D.Underestimating the compounding effect of hot extremes will cause threats to man.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The dangers of hot days and nights are on the rise.B.Continued warming will make the earth even worse.C.With the world warming, the natural balance may be shifting.D.Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing at a faster pace.第二節(jié) （共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多 余選項(xiàng)。A LAZY GIRLS GUIDE TO STAYING IN SHAPEYou know exercise is important.
