Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Floridas mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.Im like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o colors first in the all trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but cant create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I havent seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch ( My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and Im grateful that I dont have to shovel.）While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you cant go home?24What does the underlined word “snowbird” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AA person spending winter in a warmer climate.BA bird seen chiefly in winter.CA person permanently living in a foreign country.DA bird flying to the south in winter.25Whats the difference between Florida and Long Island?AWinters in Long Island are milder.BThe snowbirds in Long Island are rarer.CWeather in Long Island is severer.DLong Island is nearer to the ocean.26What did the author miss most when he was in Florida?AThe cold temperature.BThe colorful light display.CThe family gathering.DThe winter landscape.27Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.BTo describe his dream to be a free bird.CTo explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.DTo express his feeling of missing his hometown.CHave you ever caught yourself saying, I hate small talk! the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about small subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when theres a group around.If youre talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either theyll seem to get bored and not say much or theyll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. Its just that they dont like small talk. Heres why.Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts dont realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You dont need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and thisshould be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, theyll mull over different thoughts.Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join theconversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, theyll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening lightly so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why theyre so quiet.28How do introverts respond to a chat?AThey try to avoid it.BThey get excited about it.CThey give it their full attention.DThey focus on unimportant topics.29What do we know about small talk?AIt goes slowly.BIt costs people a lot of time.CIt contributes to deeper topics.DIt makes no sense.30What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AGive up.BThink over.CWrite down.DForget about.31How can we become a good talker in small conversations?AFigure out the deep meaning of questions.BThink twice before answering questions.CTry to find shared topics.DBe a quiet listener.DBritain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution, Bank of Englands chief economist warned.Andy Haldane said the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things. The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy (会计) among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain had been lost over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps though workplaces.The majority of these are in jobs in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the fourth industrial revolution. The first was the shift from agricultural to urban societies, the second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.Mr. Haldane said the hollowing-out (空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future so it is important to learn the lessons of history and ensure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, there was a hollowing-out of the jobs market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living,” Haldane added, “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”“That hollowing-out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans.” Mr Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.32What is the dark side mentioned in the text?AThe hollowing-out has become a major social problem.BLess and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.CIntelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.DThe technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.33Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?AThe study about economy is at a low level.BEconomists work on a traditional professional job.CThere is no machine that can work as an economist.DEconomists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.34What should be done to deal with the serious situation?ATo call for people to devote more to studying history.BTo teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about.CTo warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.DTo ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent computers and robots do.35What attitude did Haldane have towards the future employment?APositive.BAggressive.CCritical.DWorried.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。Dark stairways can be a bit dangerous, especially when it becomes wet or damp.
