Hello, I am Sonia Comez from Argentina. I have a very exciting job, which I would like to tell you about. I am a mountain climbing instructor in Patagonia. Patagonia is a large area covering Argentina and Chile in South America. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it has mountains covered with snow.
Becoming a mountain climbing instructor was a natural choice for me because I have loved the outdoors ever since I was a child. My family and I would often go walking in the mountains. Although I studied business at university, I did not want to work in an office. One day, just after I had graduated I saw an advertisement for mountain climbing instructors at Southern Way Mountain School. I applied for the job, and because of my previous experience, they hired me. I was sent on a training programme for mountain climbing instructors. Then I took a test to show that I knew the proper climbing techniques and that I could guide others. Now, seven years later, I am the assistant director of Southern Way Mountain School.
My job requires many skills. First of all, I must be a good teacher, as I have to explain mountain climbing techniques and safety rules. Because tourists come to Patagonia from all over the world, language skills are also important. My first language is Spanish, and I am also fluent in English and French. Finally, mountain climbing can be dangerous, so I am trained for emergency situations, such as how to give aid to and rescue someone if they fall or get hurt. If someone gets hurt, I have to figure out the best way to get them down the mountain without causing them any more pain.
Being a mountain climbing instructor is a great job for me. Every day, I get to be outside and enjoy beautiful scenery. I meet people from all over the world, which makes my job even more interesting. As the assistant director, I am using my education in business to make decisions about the school's budget and hiring new instructors.
I want you to know that it is possible to combine something you love with a career.

In the mid 1990s, Dr. Marshall Duke, a psychologist at Emory University, was asked to help explore ceremonies in American families. “There was a lot of research at the time into the falling apart of the family，” he said. “But we were more interested in what families could do to oppose those forces.” And they found that the single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative.
Around that time, Dr. Duke's wife, Sara, a psychologist who works with children with learning disabilities, noticed something about her students. “The ones who know a lot about their families tend to do better when they face challenges，” she said.
Her husband was interested, and along with a colleague, Robyn Fivush, set out to learn if Sara's assumption was valid. They developed a measure called the “Do You Know？” scale (量表) that asked children to answer 20 questions. Examples included: Do you know where your grandparents grew up Do you know where your mom and dad went to high school Do you know an illness or something really terrible that happened in your family
Dr. Duke and Dr. Fivush asked those questions of four dozen families in the summer of 2001, and taped several of their dinner table conversations. They then compared the children's results to a battery of psychological tests the children had taken, and reached a surprising conclusion. The more children knew about their family's history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives and the higher their self respect. Why does knowing where your grandmother went to school help a child become tougher and happier “The answers have to do with a child's sense of being part of a larger family，” Dr. Duke said.
So if you want a happier family, retell the story of your family, especially about the positive moments and how you braved the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the probability that your family will thrive (兴旺) for many generations to come. This is particularly important for children, whose identity tends to get locked in during adolescence.

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Her husband was interested ... developed a measure called the ‘Do You Know？’ scale”可知，Duke和Fivush制作“Do You Know？”量表的目的是检验Sara的设想。

Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions. Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world. __1__ Here is a short list of main reasons trees are necessary for improving our living conditions.
·Trees produce oxygen.
__2__ A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breathe. Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants.
·Trees clean the soil.
The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. __3__ Trees filter (过滤) sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and so on.
·Trees are carbon sinks.
To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. __4__ This locking up process“stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas.
·__5__
Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.
A．We could not exist as we do if there were no trees.
B．Trees help clean the sky.
C．A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces.
D．Trees control noise pollution.
E．Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world.

Finding a job is difficult. But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job. Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.
Be friendly to people. Any job is better when you are friends of the people that you are working with. You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting. Actually listen to what these people tell you. Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.
Stay positive. One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity. If you automatically (无意识地) make judgments about things at the office that you aren't going to like, then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude. Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.
Keep relaxed. Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately. You are going to make some mistakes. You are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things differently than what they're used to. Be relaxed. The thing that you really need to get used to a new job, is just time.
Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy, but it doesn't have to be particularly difficult either. Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accepting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all! After you have adjusted to your new job, the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.
语篇解读：找工作难，适应新的工作环境更难。本文为我们提出了一些适应新工作的技巧。
1．The underlined word“untoward”in Para. 1 probably means “________”．
A．difficult B．impressive
C．important D．shocking
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文的“Finding a job is difficult.”以及画线词前的“even more”可推断，画线词所在句意为“获得新工作之后，如何适应新的工作环境更难。”即画线词含义是“困难的”。
2．In the author's opinion, you can learn unspoken rules by________.
A．asking for others' help
B．copying others' behavior
C．following others' instructions
D．noticing what's going on in the workplace
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you ...”可知，通过注意你周围发生的事来了解与你一起工作的人和潜规则。
3．If the passage continues, what may be talked about
A．How to keep relaxed.
B．How to do your job well.
C．How to make fewer mistakes in your job.
D．The importance of adjusting to your new job.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After you have adjusted to your new job, the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.”可知，适应了新工作之后，如何做好这份工作就成为随之而来的首要问题。由此推断，文章接下来会阐述如何做好你的工作。
4．What would be the best title for this passage
A．What to do in an interview
B．Ways to find a satisfactory job
C．Tips for adjusting to a new job
D．How to get along well with others
解析：选C 标题归纳题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.”可知，本文主要讲述的是如何适应新的工作环境。
B
Imagine that you're looking at your company issued smartphone and you notice an e mail from LinkedIn: “These companies are looking for candidates like you！” You aren't necessarily searching for a job, but you're always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link.A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk.“We've noticed that you're spending more time on LinkedIn lately, so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you're happy here，” she says.Uh oh.
It's an awkward scene.Attrition (消耗) has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets.Thus companies are intensifying their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them.Tactics (策略) range from electronic monitor to sophisticated (复杂的) analyses of employees' social media lives.
Some of this work may be a reason to let employees quit.In general, people leave their jobs because they don't like their boss, don't see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.
New research conducted by CEB, a Washington based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when.“We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life，” says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB's HR practice.“We've learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”
Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the panies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things.Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes (浏览痕迹) — employees' use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage — to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.
语篇解读：由于劳工市场紧张，优秀职员的成本增加，越来越多的公司领导对有离职意向的职员很担忧，为此他们采取了一系列的应对措施。
5．From the first paragraph, we can infer LinkedIn is ________.
A．an e mail
B．a job from the Internet
C．a professional social network
D．a world famous company
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Imagine that you're looking at your company issued smartphone and you notice an e mail from LinkedIn：‘These companies are looking for candidates like you！’”可知，LinkedIn是职场社交网络平台。
6．What's the main idea of the second paragraph
A．The cost of losing good workers is rising.
B．Companies are stricter with workers than before.
C．Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.
D．Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers.
解析：选C 段落大意题。根据第二段中的“Attrition (消耗) has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising ...”可知，优秀职员的离开会给公司带来巨大的损失；再结合“Thus companies are intensifying their efforts ... Tactics (策略) range from electronic monitor to sophisticated (复杂的) analyses of employees' ...”可知，公司为了避免这种损失，也在采取措施阻止此类事情的发生。
7．According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs
A．They don't like their bosses.
B．Workers are always doing comparisons.
C．Not seeing opportunities for promotion.
D．To find a higher paid job.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段CEB人力资源总监布赖恩·克罗普的话“ ... affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought ...”可知，当员工在同事之间进行比较时更容易离职。
8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To make a review on a phenomenon.
B．To tell us the leaders' concerns.
C．To show a new trend in the job market.
D．To stress the role of new technologies.
解析：选A 写作目的题。文章首段由用智能手机登录领英看邮件这一假设场景引出员工离职的话题，接下来阐述了出现这种现象的原因以及相关的措施等。由此可推测，作者写作本文是为了对员工离职这一现象进行评论。故选A项。PAGE

In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don't. About 65% of American men aged 62－74 with a professional degree are in the workforce (劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well educated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.
The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift (变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling (渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.
Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the better off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap (获得) rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding (先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce (强化) that shift: the skills that complement (补充) computers, from management know how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Website to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞) by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
