Find it in the resume.BWhen a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care．Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By simply saying，‖I need some help here‖，he did something important for us．He needed us．And we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．25．Which of the following statements is true?A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison．B．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat．C．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds．D．The author realized the importance of practising kindness．26．We can infer from the third paragraph that______．A．showing love to others can make prisoners strongB．the American prison culture will be improvedC．the author is not content with the prison cultureD．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons27．What is the best title for the passage?A．Caring Makes Us Human．B．Prison Culture is Important．C．Animals Need Care．D．Everyone Needs to be Cared for．28．In Paragraph 2，the author mentioned that ―Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．‖ to______ ．A．show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each otherB．show us the American prison culture does need improvementC．show us the officer and prisoners all like the catD．show us the American prison culture is greatCThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（批判性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control ofyour thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning (错误的推理).Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker; if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banish Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly, I don't understand things quickly."29. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,__________.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyC. we might be controlled by other people's ideasD. we might be fooled by other people's ideas30. If you are a critical thinker, you will________.A. criticize other people for their mistakesB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. think deeply about different ideas31. In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that________.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. intelligence is not decided by speedC. speed can improve intelligenceD. the faster you do things, the smarter you become32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Understanding Critical ThinkingB. Thinking and Critical ThinkingC. Thinking Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means IntelligenceDVery old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort,cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨碍) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical(机械的）maintenance (保养）as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision(提供)of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.33. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that______.A. very old people are able to keep their rooms very cleanB. social services have nothing to do with very old peopleC. very old people enjoy living with their relativesD. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom34. Some social workers think that______.A. personal freedom is more important than health and safetyB. health and safety are more important than personal freedomC. old people should keep their rooms cleanD. one should not take the risk of dealing with old people35. The author thinks that______.A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctorsB. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very richC. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off deathD. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful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。
