请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In case you missed it, a video last week showed a miniature horse eating a bowl of carrots—from a high chair. A high chair. Yes, really. It might seem __36__， but it might also be the logical extension of the growing __37__ of treating animals as human and treating pets as children. Examples of this attitude are __38__， and range from the innocent to the near­crazy. Some people even __39__ their pets for Halloween or create social media accounts for them.
Should this cause __40__？ Should we just smile and nod when people treat their pets as such？Should we shrug off the Facebook page “Animals are People Too” and “My Child has Four Paws” ?
No. __41__ animals aren't people. And pets aren't children.
There seems to be confusion about the __42__ between pets and children. People __43__ the language of parenthood when talking to their “fur kid” or “baby”. Of course, it's one thing to use such language lightly, as an innocent expression of love or a(n) __44__ of the great joy and deep bonds that pets, like children, can create. It's quite another to use this language __45__．
Words __46__. Using inaccurate language for things doesn't just blur(模糊) the very real lines between pets and people; it can lead to dangerous delusions(错觉). What if a man __47__ having a baby won't be much different from being a “dad” to a dog?
“Pet parents” point out that they do everything __48__ parents do—feed, bathe, clean up, care for, and love. __49__， all these actions form only part of the routines of true parenthood. One does not, and cannot, teach __50__ and morality to cats and dogs, yet that's the most important job of a parent. Having a child means preparing another mind and soul for adulthood and __51__. Having a pet means keeping an animal obedient and dependent so it never __52__ the way a child eventually will.
Pets and children serve different roles, __53__ different places in the lives of humans. __54__ these fundamental differences benefits neither creatures nor people. We can call pets “pets” __55__ loving them any less. So stop calling your pets your “children”．
(　　)36. A. awful B. absurd C. artificial D. awkward
(　　)37. A. trend B. expense C. demand D. danger
(　　)38. A. anywhere B. somewhere C. everywhere D. nowhere

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A

London to Brighton Bike Ride
The start
The bike ride starts at Clapham Common tube station.
Ride carefully
We put together as many facilities as possible to help ensure you have a trouble­free day. But we also rely on you to ride safely and with due consideration for other cyclists and road users. Although many roads are closed to oncoming traffic, this is not always the case and you should be aware of the possibility that there could be vehicles coming in the opposite direction.
Please do not attempt reckless overtaking whilst riding—remember it is NOT a race.
(1) ____________
If you have an accident, ask a marshal for help; they are in contact with the support/emergency services. To call for help from our motorcycle marshals, give a 'thumbs down' signal. The marshal will do all he/she can to help, providing he/she is not already going to a more serious accident. If a motorcycle marshal slows down to help you, but you have just stopped for a rest and don't need help, please give a 'thumbs up' signal and he/she will carry on. Remember—thumbs down means ‘I need help’.
(2) ____________
Refer to your route map and make your way to a Mechanics Point. Mechanical assistance is free when you show your Rider Identity Card; you just pay for the parts.
Refreshment stops
Look out for these along the route. Most are organized by voluntary clubs and their prices give you real value for money. They are also raising money for their local communities and the British Heart Foundation, so please give them your support.
Rain or shine—be prepared
In the event of very bad weather, watch out for signs to wet weather stations en route. Good waterproofs, like a cycle cape, are essential. Our first aid staff can only supply bin liners and by the time you get one you may be very wet. However, the English summer is unpredictable—it may also be hot. so don't forget the sun protection cream as well！
(3) ____________
We will try to pick up your bike for you on the day. Call Bike Events(01225310859) no more than two weeks after the ride to arrange collection. Sorry, we cannot guarantee this service nor can we accept liability for any loss or damage to your bike. Bike Events will hold your bike for three months, after which it may be disposed of. You will be charged for all costs incurred in returning your cycle.

Anonymising job applications to eliminate(消除) discrimination is not easy.
“If you've got the grades, the skills and the determination, this government will ensure you can succeed，” declared the British prime minister, on October 26th, as he introduced plans to tackle discrimination in the workplace. Ten big employers in the public and private sectors—including the civil service, HSBC and Deloitte—have agreed to start recruiting(招募) on a “name­blind” basis in Britain; others may also follow suit. In such schemes, those drawing_up shortlists of applicants cannot see their names, with the aim of reducing racial and sexual bias. But do they work?
Several countries have experimented with name­blind applications. In 2010 Germany's Anti­Discrimination Agency, an advisory body, sponsored a voluntary scheme to get businesses to try it. In France a law passed in 2006 made the anonymising of applicants' CVs compulsory for firms of over 50 employees. But the government was slow in laying down the conditions for how the law would operate, and only started performing it last year.
In Sweden and the Netherlands there have been some trials. Discrimination against job applicants based on their names is well documented, particularly among ethnic minorities. An experiment in Germany found that candidates with German­sounding names were 14% more likely to be called for an interview than candidates with Turkish ones. A review of various studies, by the Institute for the Study of Labour(IZA), a German outfit, found that anonymised job applications boost the chances of ethnic­minority candidates being invited to an interview. A Swedish study found that it led to more ethnic­minority people being hired.
However, the results from other trials are less clear. A second Swedish experiment found that only women, not immigrants, were boosted by anonymous recruitment. According to the IZA, experiments in the Netherlands showed no increase in the likelihood of ethnic­minority candidates being offered a job if their CVs were seen anonymously, suggesting that discrimination had slid in at the interview stage. Ensuring that a candidate is completely anonymous is also tricky.
A 2012 French study found that foreign­born candidates and those from poor districts were less likely to be called for interview when applications were anonymised. Its authors suggested that recruiters may have used other indicators, such as knowledge of Arabic, to identify race. In places suffering from religious tension, such as Northern Ireland, the name of a school can reveal a candidate's faith, while a few years missing on a CV may suggest maternity leave(产假), and thus that the candidate is female. Going name­blind when shortlisting candidates may be a sensible start, but it is likely to be just a small step towards ending hiring bias.
(　　)58. What can we learn from the passage?
A. In France, the government started the anonymised recruitment in 2006.
B. In Germany, chances of ethnic­minority name­blind candidates being interviewed are slighter.
C. In the Netherlands, the anonymous recruitment is more of a trick than an effective practice.
D. In Sweden, not only women but also immigrants may well enjoy a higher recruitment rate.
(　　)59. What does the underlined phrase “drawing up” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. writing out B. taking in C. making up
