Meanwhile，humanities majors（人文专业）are often let out in the cold.Even in the United States，the past decade has seen fewer college students taking humanities as a major since the 2008 financial crisis，according to an article published by The Atlantic in August. Instead，more and more students study science majors，such as engineering，computer science，and biology. According to the US Department of Education，exercise science，nursing，and computer science are among the fastest growing majors in 2017.The change of students' preference of majors could be because they care more about finding a better job after the financial crisis，reported The Atlantic. Many believe humanities majors don't allow them to find a good job，while science majors could help them land a good job.“It's really no surprise that they want to pay more attention to the career pathways they are likely to get into with a particular credential（证书）.And we are seeing that reflected in our employee numbers，"Greg Summers，professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the US，told Inside Higher Education.However，humanities majors are believed to have their own advantages.“Humanities majors encourage analysis，critical thinking，and a good knowledge of various topics. These majors look deeper into varied texts that influence media，culture，society，literature，and politics，"according to Huff Post.While students who majored in humanities may earn less than science majors when they just graduate from college，humanities majors will gradually catch up，according to a 2018 report by the American Academy of Arts & Science.To say the least，your life isn't completely decided by your major."Not every software engineer is successful，and not every philosophy（哲学）major is unemployed. One’s major does not determineone's future，"commented Huff Post.24.More and more college students take science majors rather than humanities majors because ______.A. they are more interested in science majorsB. humanities majors are of no practical valueC. science majors can help them find a good jobD. many countries suffered the 2008 financial crisis25. Paragraph 6 is intended to tell us that______.A. not every science major can mean a good job for studentsB. humanities majors will bring more chances to college students in the futureC. the number of college students taking humanities majors will gradually riseD. college students taking humanities majors will gradually earn more in the long term26. The purpose of the passage is to _____.A. give college students advice on choosing majorsB. encourage more students to take humanities majorsC. inform students of the advantages of science majorsD. tell the difference between science and humanities majorsCNowadays，cats and dogs are popular pets. However，when it comes to the relationship with their owners，cats are usually seen as unfriendly and distant with respect to their owners，compared with dogs. It is usual for them to be indifferent（漠不关心的）when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don't understand human voices at all？A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we've been fooled.Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.In the study，scientists studied 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words they heard were some nouns that resembled their names while the final word they heard was just the cat's name. Then they observed the cats' responses，if there were any.Most cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names，while they made no response to other words which sounded seemingly like their names.That suggested，"cats were paying attention to you，what you say and what you do，"John Bradshaw，an expert on human-animal relations at the University of Bristol，UK，told The Times.“And cats were just as good as dogs at learning，"she added.In the study，when people called their names，cats often connected the words with rewards，such as food or play，or with punishments such as having a bath or going to the vet. This made catssensitive（敏感的）to words. After the cats had been called several times，they could respond to the words.But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved to follow their owners' orders，cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant，they do have special relationships with their owners.According to study co-author Atsuko Saito，cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness，which they tend to hide because in the wild，no one can save them and hunters are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.However，technology may help bridge the communication gap between our feline（猫科的）friends and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So，the next time you hear "meow，meow"，your cat may be telling you:“Hi，you haven't cleaned my liter box recently.”27.The underlined word “resembled” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by______.A. were limited toB. were similar toC. were different fromD. were away from28.The cats appear distant to their human owners in that______.A. they are not sensitive to human voicesB. they want to protect themselves from harmC. they always connect words with punishmentsD. they failing to pay attention to their surroundings29.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A. It's important to communicate with cats.B. It's difficult to understand the cats' needs.C. Cats have a good relationship with their owners.D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.30.What is the passage mainly about?A. Cats do understand their owners.B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.C. Cats are distant from their owners.D. Cats show respect for their owners.DMy brother Stanley died last January from cancer，and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and，at the time，I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me.While Stanley was sick，I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider's view of the care Stanley received，when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However，as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly（严厉的）.We experienced long waits in emergency departments，and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley's case. We waited around for doctors to arrive，but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley's senior doctor. Near the end，he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used，"he said. And with that，he left，never to be seen again.All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart？After Stanley died，I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals，while I took a year out. I simply couldn't face working in medicine.Finally，I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself，and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn't always answer patients' questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured，or how long they would live，but it wasn't always possible to say.It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism（不专业）or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work.I began to see my patients as Stanley，and myself no longer as his sister，but one of his caregivers.Now I was in their shoes-the people who spend every day caring for others.I still miss Stanley horribly，but at least now the anger has gone.31.Why did the author feel upset in hospital？A. Because it was too late to cure her brother.B. Because the treatment was too painful for the author to bear.C. Because she couldn't help the doctors with her medical knowledge.D. Because the care given to her brother was far below her expectations.32. The underlined word "it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.A. the insider's view of the careB. the care her brother receivedC. the author's medical professionD. the author's long stay in hospital33. The author changed her opinion after she_______.A. suffered a serious illnessB. met Stanley's doctors againC. communicated with her classmatesD. experienced caring for cancer patients directly34. What did the author do after he brother died?A. She put in efforts o save patients.B. She gave up her study in medicine.C. She applied for a job in a big city immediately.D. She took a year out and then got a job in a clinic.35. The author wrote this passage in order to______.A. give advice on how to be a professional doctorB. explain how her attitude to being a caregiver changed.C. tell the young people the importance of being a doctor.D. share how she became a doctor after her brother's death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。
