When
you
were
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
buy
for
the
environmentalist
on
your
holiday
list,
fur
probably
didn’t
cross
your
mind.
But
some
ecologists
and
fashion
(时装）enthusiasts
are
trying
to
bring
back
the
market
for
fur
made
from
nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
have（showcased）nutria
fur
made
into
clothes
in
different
styles.
“It
sounds
crazy
to
talk
about
guilt-free
fur—unless
you
understand
that
the
nutria
are
destroying
vast
wetlands
every
year”,
says
Cree
McCree,
project
director
of
Righteous
Fur.
Scientists
in
Louisiana
were
so
concerned
that
they
decided
to
pay
hunters
$5
a
tail.
Some
of
the
fur
ends
up
in
the
fashion
shows
like
the
one
in
Brooklyn
last
month.
Nutria
were
brought
there
from
Argentina
by
fur
farmers
and
let
go
into
the
wild.
"The
ecosystem
down
there
can't
handle
this
non-native
species
(物种).
It's
destroying
the
environment.
It's
them
or
us,"
says
Michael
Massimi,
an
expert
in
this
field.
The
fur
trade
kept
nutria
in
check
for
decades,
but
when
the
market
for
nutria
collapsed
in
the
late
1980s,
the
cat-sized
animals
multiplied
like
crazy.
Biologist
Edmond
Mouton
runs
the
nutria
control
program
for
Louisiana.
He
says
it's
not
easy
to
convince
people
that
nutria
fur
is
green,
but
he
has
no
doubt
about
it.
Hunters
bring
in
more
than
300,000
nutria
tails
a
year,
so
part
of
Mouton's
job
these
days
is
trying
to
promote
fur.
Then
there's
Righteous
Fur
and
its
unusual
fashions.
Model
Paige
Morgan
says,
"To
give
people
a
guilt-free
option
that
they
can
wear
without
someone
throwing
paint
on
them
—
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
massive
thing,
at
least
here
in
New
York."
Designer
Jennifer
Anderson
admits
it
took
her
a
while
to
come
around
to
the
opinion
that
using
nutria
fur
for
her
creations
is
morally
acceptable.
She's
trying
to
come
up
with
a
label
to
attach
to
nutria
fashions
to
show
it
is
eco-friendly.
11．What
is
the
purpose
of
the
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
A．To
promote
guilt-free
fur.
B．To
expand
the
fashion
market.
C．To
introduce
a
new
brand.
D．To
celebrate
a
winter
holiday.
12．Why
are
scientists
concerned
about
nutria
A．Nutria
damage
the
ecosystem
seriously.
B．Nutria
are
an
endangered
species.
C．Nutria
hurt
local
cat-sized
animals.
D．Nutria
are
illegally
hunted.
13．What
can
we
infer
about
wearing
fur
in
New
York
according
to
Morgan
A．It’s
formal.
B．It’s
risky.
C．It’s
harmful.
D．It’s
traditional.
B
Art
is
everywhere.
Any
public
space
has
been
carefully
designed
by
an
artistic
mind
to
be
both
functional
and
beautiful.
Why,
then,
is
art
still
so
widely
considered
to
be
"the
easy
subject"
at
school,
insignificant
to
wider
society,
a
waste
of
time
and
effort
Art
can
connect
culture
with
commercial
products
in
a
way
that
not
many
other
things
can;
art
generates
money
and
holds
significant
emotional
and
cultural
value
within
communities.
When
people
attend
a
concert,
they
are
paying
for
music,
sure,
maybe
even
hotel
rooms,
meals,
and
transport,
but
they
also
gain
an
incredible
experience,
a
unique
atmosphere
and
a
memory
that
will
go
through
the
rest
of
their
lives.
People
don't
just
want
material
things
anymore,
they
want
to
experience
life一the
arts
are
a
perfect
crossover
（交迭）between
culture
and
commerce.
Furthermore,
the
arts
can
bring
communities
together,
reducing
loneliness
and
making
people
feel
safer.
Social
bonds
are
created
among
individuals
when
they
share
their
arts
experiences
through
reflection
and
discussion,
and
their
expression
of
common
values
through
artworks
in
honour
of
events
significant
to
a
nation's
experience.
The
arts
clearly
have
a
pretty
positive
impact
on
physical
and
psychological
health.
It
is
found
that
people
who
frequent
cultural
places
or
participate
in
artistic
events
are
more
likely
to
gain
good
health
compared
to
those
who
do
not;
more
engagement
with
the
arts
is
linked
to
a
higher
level
of
people's
wellbeing.
The
Royal
Society
of
Public
Health
discovered
that
music
and
art,
when
used
in
hospitals,
help
to
improve
the
conditions
of
patients
by
reducing
stress,
anxiety
and
blood
pressure.
Children
who
are
involved
with
the
arts
make
greater
achievements
in
their
education:
those
engaged
with
drama
have
greater
literary
ability
while
others
taking
part
in
musical
practice
exhibit
greater
skills
in
math
and
languages.
Kids
with
preference
fbr
the
arts
have
a
greater
chance
of
finding
employment
in
the
future.
Participating
in
the
arts
is
essential
fbr
child
development;
encouraging
children
to
express
themselves
in
constructive
ways
could
help
to
form
healthy
emotional
responses
in
later
life.
Vital
to
human
life,
art
is
celebrated
and
used
by
nations
across
the
world
for
various
purposes.
Life
without
art
would
be
boring
and
dead
still,
fbr
art
is
a
part
of
what
makes
us
human.
14．Art

differ
from
most
other
commercial

because
.
A．most
people
purchase
them
for
collection
B．they
are
more
expensive
and
less
accessible
C．they
have
both

cultural

D．their
prices

experiences,
community
members

.
A．keep
the
community
safe
from
illnesses
B．develop
a
stronger
tie
between
them
C．learn
to
appreciate
their
own
works
of

D．offer
honourable
solutions
to
their
problems

compare

with

七选五
One
of
the
questions
commonly
asked
during
a
job
interview
is,
“What
are
your
goals
for
the
future ”
It’s
a
good
way
for
employers
to
determine
if
your
career
goals
are
a
good
fit
for
the
company.
Plus,
it
helps
hiring
managers
make
sure
that
you
actually
have
some
goals.
19．.
You
don’t
need
to
know
exactly
where
you’re
planning
to
be
in
five
years,
but
you
need
to
be
pointed
in
some
direction.
20．.
As
you
know,
new
hires
are
expensive
to
train.
So
if
you
resign
in
a
hurry,
they’ll
be
right
back
at
square
one
(起点).
The
most
successful
candidates
are
the
ones
whose
aims
are
in
line
with
those
of
the
organization,
even
if
they
don’t
plan
to
spend
their
entire
career
working
for
the
same
employer.
21．.
But
it’s
important
to
convey
that
your
career
goals
are
consistent
with
the
company’s
path.
The
best
way
to
respond
to
interview
questions
about
your
goals
for
the
future
is
to
focus
on
the
position
and
the
company
you
are
interviewing
with.
22．.
Knowing
about
the
company’s
culture
and
business
practices
will
help
you
emphasize
your
ability
to
solve
their
problems.
Don’t
discuss
your
personal
goals
outside
of
work,
such
as
having
a
family
or
traveling
around
the
world,
in
response
to
this
question.
This
information
is
not
relevant
and
could
knock
you
out
of
the
opportunity
for
the
job.
23．.
A．Few
employers
expect
lifetime
commitment
B．You
should
focus
on
your
strong
interest
in
the
position
at
hand
C．It
will
be
a
red
flag
if
your
goals
have
something
to
do
with
the
job
D．Employers
want
to
be
sure
you
won’t
move
to
another
job
right
away
E.This
is
why
it’s
important
to
do
your
research
before
you
arrive
for
the
job
interview
F.In
other
words,
your
answer
reveals
whether
you
have
ambition
and
some
type
of
plan
G.The
employer
is
interested
in
what
you’ll
look
for
in
your
next
job
but
not
in
private
life

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last
night,
my
partner
John
and
I
went
to
the
levees
(堤岸)
where
I
was
relearning
how
to
run.
He
supported
on
his
bike
and
I
went
as
fast
or
as
slow
as
my
old
legs
wanted
to
take
me.
Ahead
of
us
was
a
very
old
man
with
a
plastic
bag
who
seemed
to
be
unable
to
walk
a
straight
line.
John
said,
“You
keep
running,
and
I
will
check
on
him.”
John
was
holding
his
hand.
John
told
the
man,
“We
are
going
to
come
back
this
way.
If
you
are
still
here,
we
will
check
on
you.”
The
man
said
he
was
fine
but
he
was
going
to
stay
down
for
a
bit.
He
was
on
the
ground
at
the
bottom
of
the
levee
and
off
a
walkway
that
backed
up
into
other
people’s
homes.
We
ran
on
for
10-15
minutes
or
so
and
turned
around.
John
rode
ahead
to
see
if
he
was
still
there.
When
I
got
to
the
spot,
there
was
John
and
the
man.
The
man
didn’t
look
fine
—
he
was
stumbling
(蹒跚而行)
around
and
seemed
lost.
The
man
in
the
meantime
tried
to
climb
up
the
levee
and
fell
again
and
as
he
sat
there,
I
walked
down.
I
said,
“Hi,
my
name
is
Mia,
what’s
your
name ”
He
laughed
and
looked
at
me.
I
said
light-heartedly,
“I
am
relearning
how
to
run.
I
didn’t
realize
it
was
so
difficult.”
He
said,
“Oh
my
son
and
I
run
too
—
yeah
it’s
not
always
easy.”
It
was
starting
to
get
dark.
Turns
out
the
man’s
name
was
John
also.
I
said,
“Shall
we
walk
together,
John ”
He
said,
“Okay.”
He
didn’t
want
me
to
grab
his
hand
or
arm
to
help
him,
so
I
said,
“I’ll
just
stand
by
you
if
that
is
okay.”
“That’s
okay,”
he
said.
We
walked
down
the
levee
together
with
John
riding
behind.
Through
our
walk
he
swerved
(急转弯)
from
either
side
of
the
levee
—
I
stayed
calm
and
moved
to
either
side
casually
trying
not
to
look
like
I
was
blocking.

When
you
were
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
buy
for
the
environmentalist
on
your
holiday
list,
fur
probably
didn’t
cross
your
mind.
But
some
ecologists
and
fashion
(时装）enthusiasts
are
trying
to
bring
back
the
market
for
fur
made
from
nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
have（showcased）nutria
fur
made
into
clothes
in
different
styles.
“It
sounds
crazy
to
talk
about
guilt-free
fur—unless
you
understand
that
the
nutria
are
destroying
vast
wetlands
every
year”,
says
Cree
McCree,
project
director
of
Righteous
Fur.
Scientists
in
Louisiana
were
so
concerned
that
they
decided
to
pay
hunters
$5
a
tail.
Some
of
the
fur
ends
up
in
the
fashion
shows
like
the
one
in
Brooklyn
last
month.
Nutria
were
brought
there
from
Argentina
by
fur
farmers
and
let
go
into
the
wild.
"The
ecosystem
down
there
can't
handle
this
non-native
species
(物种).
It's
destroying
the
environment.
It's
them
or
us,"
says
Michael
Massimi,
an
expert
in
this
field.
The
fur
trade
kept
nutria
in
check
for
decades,
but
when
the
market
for
nutria
collapsed
in
the
late
1980s,
the
cat-sized
animals
multiplied
like
crazy.
Biologist
Edmond
Mouton
runs
the
nutria
control
program
for
Louisiana.
He
says
it's
not
easy
to
convince
people
that
nutria
fur
is
green,
but
he
has
no
doubt
about
it.
Hunters
bring
in
more
than
300,000
nutria
tails
a
year,
so
part
of
Mouton's
job
these
days
is
trying
to
promote
fur.
Then
there's
Righteous
Fur
and
its
unusual
fashions.
Model
Paige
Morgan
says,
"To
give
people
a
guilt-free
option
that
they
can
wear
without
someone
throwing
paint
on
them
—
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
massive
thing,
at
least
here
in
New
York."
Designer
Jennifer
Anderson
admits
it
took
her
a
while
to
come
around
to
the
opinion
that
using
nutria
fur
for
her
creations
is
morally
acceptable.
She's
trying
to
come
up
with
a
label
to
attach
to
nutria
fashions
to
show
it
is
eco-friendly.
11．What
is
the
purpose
of
the
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
A．To
promote
guilt-free
fur.
B．To
expand
the
fashion
market.
C．To
introduce
a
new
brand.
D．To
celebrate
a
winter
holiday.
12．Why
are
scientists
concerned
about
nutria
A．Nutria
damage
the
ecosystem
seriously.
B．Nutria
are
an
endangered
species.
C．Nutria
hurt
local
cat-sized
animals.
D．Nutria

hunted.
13．What

Fur的项
目总监克里·麦克雷说)”中Righteous
Fur的项目总监的话可知，
由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏，所以穿海狸鼠皮毛服装不应有罪恶感，由此推知，这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀是为了让人们知道不用为穿海狸鼠皮毛服装而内疚。故选A项。
12.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists

Louisiana
were
so
concerned
that
they
decided
to

hunters
$5
a

(模特佩奇·摩根说：“给人们一个没有罪恶感的选择，让他们可以穿着它而不被人泼颜料——我认为这将是一件大事，至少在纽约)”
可推知，在纽约穿皮草可能会被人们泼颜料，有风险的。故选B项
。
B
Art
is
everywhere.
Any
public
space
has
been
carefully
designed
by
an
artistic
mind
to
be
both
functional
and
beautiful.
Why,
then,
is
art
still
so
widely
considered
to
be
"the
easy
subject"
at
school,
insignificant
to
wider
society,
a
waste
of
time
and
effort
Art
can
connect
culture
with
commercial
products
in
a
way
that
not
many
other
things
can;
art
generates
money
and
holds
significant
emotional
and
cultural
value
within
communities.
When
people
attend
a
concert,
they
are
paying
for
music,
sure,
maybe
even
hotel
rooms,
meals,
and
transport,
but
they
also
gain
an
incredible
experience,
a
unique
atmosphere
and
a
memory
that
will
go
through
the
rest
of
their
lives.
People
don't
just
want
material
things
anymore,
they
want
to
experience
life一the
arts
are
a
perfect
crossover
（交迭）between
culture
and
commerce.
Furthermore,
the
arts
can
bring
communities
together,
reducing
loneliness
and
making
people
feel
safer.
Social
bonds
are
created
among
individuals
when
they
share
their
arts
experiences
through
reflection
and
discussion,
and
their
expression
of
common
values
through
artworks
in
honour
of
events
significant
to
a
nation's
experience.
The
arts
clearly
have
a
pretty
positive
impact
on
physical
and
psychological
health.
It
is
found
that
people
who
frequent
cultural
places
or
participate
in
artistic
events
are
more
likely
to
gain
good
health
compared
to
those
who
do
not;
more
engagement
with
the
arts
is
linked
to
a
higher
level
of
people's
wellbeing.
The
Royal
Society
of
Public
Health
discovered
that
music
and
art,
when
used
in
hospitals,
help
to
improve
the
conditions
of
patients
by
reducing
stress,
anxiety
and
blood
pressure.
Children
who
are
involved
with
the
arts
make
greater
achievements
in
their
education:
those
engaged
with
drama
have
greater
literary
ability
while
others
taking
part
in
musical
practice
exhibit
greater
skills
in
math
and
languages.
Kids
with
preference
fbr
the
arts
have
a
greater
chance
of
finding
employment
in
the
future.
Participating
in
the
arts
is
essential
fbr
child
development;
encouraging
children
to
express
themselves
in
constructive
ways
could
help
to
form
healthy
emotional
responses
in
later
life.
Vital
to
human
life,
art
is
celebrated
and
used
by
nations
across
the
world
for
various
purposes.
Life
without
art
would
be
boring
and
dead
still,
fbr
art
is
a
part
of
what
makes
us
human.
14．Art

because
.
A．most

IV.
七选五
One
of
the
questions
commonly
asked
during
a
job
interview
is,
“What
are
your
goals
for
the
future ”
It’s
a
good
way
for
employers
to
determine
if
your
career
goals
are
a
good
fit
for
the
company.
Plus,
it
helps
hiring
managers
make
sure
that
you
actually
have
some
goals.
19．.
You
don’t
need
to
know
exactly
where
you’re
planning
to
be
in
five
years,
but
you
need
to
be
pointed
in
some
direction.
20．.
As
you
know,
new
hires
are
expensive
to
train.
So
if
you
resign
in
a
hurry,
they’ll
be
right
back
at
square
one
(起点).
The
most
successful
candidates
are
the
ones
whose
aims
are
in
line
with
those
of
the
organization,
even
if
they
don’t
plan
to
spend
their
entire
career
working
for
the
same
employer.
21．.
But
it’s
important
to
convey
that
your
career
goals
are
consistent
with
the
company’s
path.
The
best
way
to
respond
to
interview
questions
about
your
goals
for
the
future
is
to
focus
on
the
position
and
the
company
you
are
interviewing
with.
22．.
Knowing
about
the
company’s
culture
and
business
practices
will
help
you
emphasize
your
ability
to
solve
their
problems.
Don’t
discuss
your
personal
goals
outside
of
work,
such
as
having
a
family
or
traveling
around
the
world,
in
response
to
this
question.
This
information
is
not
relevant
and
could
knock
you
out
of
the
opportunity
for
the
job.
23．.
A．Few
employers
expect
lifetime
commitment
B．You
should
focus
on
your
strong
interest
in
the
position
at
hand
C．It
will
be
a
red
flag
if
your
goals
have
something
to
do
with
the
job
D．Employers
want
to
be
sure
you
won’t
move
to
another
job
right
away
E.This
is
why
it’s
important
to
do
your
research
before
you
arrive
for
the
job
interview
F.In
other
words,
your
answer
reveals
whether
you
have
ambition
and
some
type
of
plan
G.The
employer
is
interested
in
what
you’ll
look
for
in
your
next
job
but
not
in
private
life
【分析】本文是说明文。文章探讨了关于如何回答面试官的问题这一话题。
19．【答案】F
【解析】空格前说“Plus,
it
helps
hiring
managers
make
sure
that
you
actually
have
some
goals”（此外，它有助于招聘经理确保你确实有一些目标），F项“In
other
words,
your
answer
reveals
whether
you
have
ambition
and
some
type
of
plan”（换句话说，你的答案能够显示你是否有目标和某个职业规划”中的some
type
of
plan和空格前的have
some
goals相互呼应，因此F选项切合题意，故选F。
20．【答案】D
【解析】空格后说“As
you
know,
new
hires
are
expensive
to
train.
So
if
you
resign
in
a
hurry,
they’ll
be
right
back
at
square
one”（如你所知，新员工的培训费用很高。所以如果你匆忙辞职，他们就会回到原点），说明雇主不想要立刻会换工作的雇员，D项“Employers
want
to
be
sure
you
won’t
move
to
another
job
right
away”（雇主想确保你得到这份工作后不会立刻换工作）说明了雇主想要一个能干时间长一点的员工，因此D选项切合题意，故选D。
21．【答案】A
【解析】空格前说“The
most
successful

”（最成功的求职者是那些目标与公司目标一致的人，即使他们不打算整个职业生涯都为同一家公司工作），A项（Few
employers
expect
lifetime
commitment）（很少有雇主期望终生工作）与上文的“they
don’t
plan
to
spend
their
entire
career
working
for
the
same
employer”相互呼应，符合题意。故选A。
22．【答案】E
【解析】空格后说“Knowing

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last
night,
my
partner
John
and
I
went
to
the
levees
(堤岸)
where
I
was
relearning
how
to
run.
He
supported
on
his
bike
and
I
went
as
fast
or
as
slow
as
my
old
legs
wanted
to
take
me.
Ahead
of
us
was
a
very
old
man
with
a
plastic
bag
who
seemed
to
be
unable
to
walk
a
straight
line.
John
said,
“You
keep
running,
and
I
will
check
on
him.”
John
was
holding
his
hand.
John
told
the
man,
“We
are
going
to
come
back
this
way.
If
you
are
still
here,
we
will
check
on
you.”
The
man
said
he
was
fine
but
he
was
going
to
stay
down
for
a
bit.
He
was
on
the
ground
at
the
bottom
of
the
levee
and
off
a
walkway
that
backed
up
into
other
people’s
homes.
We
ran
on
for
10-15
minutes
or
so
and
turned
around.
John
rode
ahead
to
see
if
he
was
still
there.
When
I
got
to
the
spot,
there
was
John
and
the
man.
The
man
didn’t
look
fine
—
he
was
stumbling
(蹒跚而行)
around
and
seemed
lost.
The
man
in
the
meantime
tried
to
climb
up
the
levee
and
fell
again
and
as
he
sat
there,
I
walked
down.
I
said,
“Hi,
my
name
is
Mia,
what’s
your
name ”
He
laughed
and
looked
at
me.
I
said
light-heartedly,
“I
am
relearning
how
to
run.
I
didn’t
realize
it
was
so
difficult.”
He
said,
“Oh
my
son
and
I
run
too
—
yeah
it’s
not
always
easy.”
It
was
starting
to
get
dark.
Turns
out
the
man’s
name
was
John
also.
I
said,
“Shall
we
walk
together,
John ”
He
said,
“Okay.”
He
didn’t
want
me
to
grab
his
hand
or
arm
to
help
him,
so
I
said,
“I’ll
just
stand
by
you
if
that
is
okay.”
“That’s
okay,”
he
said.
We
walked
down
the
levee
together
with
John
riding
behind.
Through
our
walk
he
swerved
(急转弯)
from
either
side
of
the
levee
—
I
stayed
calm
and
moved
to
either
side
casually
trying
not
to
look
like
I
was
blocking.

【答案】One
possible
version:
Paragraph
1:
I
said
to
our
new
friend
John,“Do
you
know
why
we
are
concerned ”
He
quietly
smiled
and
said,
“Not
really.”
“You
seem
just
a
little
unstable
and
it’s
getting
late.
It’s
not
safe
for
you
to
walk
alone.
Will
you
let
us
take
you
home ”
I
asked
a
few
times
in
various
kind
ways
and
each
time
he
shook
his
head.
At
last,
I
said
carefully,
“At
least
let’s
walk
together
until
we
get
to
the
sidewalk.
Then
we
will
feel
relaxed.”
“That’s
good,”
he
said
with
a
big
smile
on
his
face.
Paragraph
2:
He
waved
goodbye
to
us
and
practically
ran
into
the
dark.
We
saw
that
he
had
made
the
right
turns
and
was
on
a
way
that
was
safer,
with
light
and
no
cliffs.
We
had
to
trust
he
would
be
okay
and
I
said
a
little
prayer
to
the
universe.
We
felt
so
happy
because
we
did
a
good
deed
to
help
an
old
man
who’s
positive
and
independent.
We
were
also
encouraged
by
this
old
man’s
spirit.
What
a
wonderful
experience
we
have
had!
