Education is not an end, but a way to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the 57 of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a good way of education which will really 58 children for life.
In many modern countries it has been fashionable for some time to think that by free education for all—whether they are rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and 59 a perfect nation. But we can already see that 60 education for all is not enough. The number of jobs is smaller than that of people with university degrees. Some people with high degrees refused to do what they think “low” work. Working with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries, 61 they give up choosing these jobs. They even have no work to do.
But we have to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is more important than that of a professor in some ways. We can live without 62 , but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In some countries there are no waiters because 63 is willing to do such work. So the professors have to waste their time 64 housework as well.
Actually, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we 65 be educated in such a way that—firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suitable for his brain and ability. And secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to, be unwilling to do one’s work, or to laugh at someone else’s. Only such a type of education can be called 66 to society. We need to accept the needs of society as soon as possible.

58．A．ask B．thank C．praise D．prepare
59．A．protect B．build C．prevent D．describe

61．A．because B．so C．unless D．if
62．A．languages B．qualities C．education D．knowledge
63．A．anybody B．nobody C．somebody D．everybody
64．A．sharing B．joining C．working D．doing

66．A．valuable B．friendly C．similar D．well-known

Mapping out the future
Last summer, my parents and I took a drive to another state. Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also had our GPS packed. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of that area and got us back or track in no time. It made me wonder: Who creates maps in the first place After some searching online I learned that the people who map out roads, mountains, oceans and other places around the world are called cartographers (制图师). I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found:
What does a cartographer do
Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret (诠释) geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the world. Some of these maps are digital (数字的). They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, depend on surveyors (测绘员) for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.
What does it take to be a cartographer
Most cartographers have a bachelor (学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography (制图学), geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.
With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.
How much do cartographers make
The average (平均) yearly salary (薪水) for cartographers is $54, 000. The lowest 10 percent earns (挣钱) less than $32, 000. The top 10 percent earns more than $92, 000.
________
In the U. S., job opportunities (机会) for cartographers are expected to grow. This is because of the increasing use of maps in the army. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.
Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost, I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer!
67．In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to ________.( )
A．prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another place
B．show that it is important to pack snacks for a trip
C．provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is important
D．show that the GPS is not always reliable (可靠的)
68．Surveyors can do all these following things except ________.( )
A．do some measuring B．do some mapping C．collect information
D．do ground surveys
69．Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $37, 500. Every year, her salary increases by $1, 500. If she continues in this position, her salary will be ________ for her 12th year of work.( )
A．of average B．below average
C．of the lowest 10 percent D．of the top 10 percent
70．Which one can be put in the blank ( )
A．Will more cartographers be needed B．Will the cartographers be replaced by robots
C．Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs D．Why do cartographers make different maps
71．The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on ________.( )
A．career choosing for people interested in geography
B．career possibilities for people who dislike maths
C．famous explorers and mapmakers
D．necessary jobs for computermen

33．句意：举行如此精彩的开幕式被认为是不可能的，但我们终于成功了！根据“hold such a wonderful opening ceremony, but we made it at last!”可知此处but含有转折之一，因此表示是不可能的，possible的反义词impossible“不可能的”。故填impossible。
34．句意：小满是二十四节气之一，标志着夏收的开始。根据“the…of summer harvest”可知此处应填名词，由“Grain Buds, one of the 24 solar terms…”可知此处指夏收的开始，begin的名词形式beginning“开始”。故填beginning。

【详解】think twice意为“三思”, 动名词作主语。it作形式宾语结构make it+adj.+for sb.+to do sth.意思是“使得做某事对某人来说是……的”, 情态动词can后跟动词原形，easy意为“容易的”, 根据汉语意思可知这里用比较级easier，take the lead意为“处于领先地位”。故填Thinking twice；make it easier for you to take the lead。
39．taken the lead
【详解】分析句子及所给汉意，填空处应为“遥遥领先”，take the lead“领先”，动词短语，根据“has”可知，本句为现在完成时，构成为have/has + 动词的过去分词，take的过去分词为taken。故填taken the lead。
40． you have fallen behind you should spend less time on
【详解】fall behind“落后”，由语境可知，空处应用现在完成时have/has done，主语是you，助动词用have；should“应该”，后跟动词原形；spend time on sth“在某事上花时间”；less time“更少的时间”。故填you have fallen behind；you should spend less time on。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文介绍了现下人们失业形势的严峻，并从几个方面分析了造成该形势的原因。
41．句意：大多数人都想要去工作，但在当今世界，找工作对每个人来说都变得更加困难。大多数人都想要去工作，want to do表示“想要去做”，主语为“people”，故填(w)ant。
42．句意：世界经济增长需要每年达到百分之四，才能保持给人们提供工作的需要。经济增速通常按年来计算比率，故填(y)ear。
43．句意：这通常是不可能的。be动词表达“是”的意思，主语是“this”，be动词用单数，故填(i)s。
44．句意：所以更多的人会失业。固定短语“out of work”表示“失业”，故填(o)ut。
45．句意：现在，一些人没有工作是因为新机器可以在更短的内完成很多人的工作量。新机器的高效生产是造成人员失业的另一个原因，应用because引导原因状语从句，故填(b)ecause。
46．句意：而且，机器不会要求更多的薪酬和更长的假期。通过“ask for”表示“要求”可知，人无法像机器一样没有生活需要，和人类生活息息相关的是金钱。故填(m)oney。
47．句意：在世界上所有的国家，机器正从人们手中夺走工作。从“new machines”出现开始，一直在强调机器出现对于失业的影响，此处应填“machine”表示“机器”，又因为空后面是“are”，名词用复数，故填(m)achines。
48．句意：不仅在工厂，而且在农场。固定短语“not only... but also”表示“不仅……而且”，故填(a)lso。
49．句意：一台机器通常可以完成四十人的工作量。根据后面的“do”，可以得知此处为助动词或情态动词，“can”表示“能够”符合。故填(c)an。
50．句意：一天大约有七万五千人正前往城市寻找工作，但只有百分之七十的人能找到工作。此处需要一个代词指代“people”且充当“of”的宾语，them符合。故填(t)hem。
51．is 52．to take 53．improving 54．was chosen 55．to ride 56．teaching
【分析】这篇短文中作者给我们介绍了他父母的工作，他的妈妈是一名护士，他的爸爸是一名老师，他们都非常喜欢自己的工作，生活得非常开心。
51．句意：不仅我的爸爸，而且我的妈妈对他们的工作都是很开心的。空后提示我们这里填be动词的形式，通过阅读全文可知，这篇短文用的是一般现在时态。这句话的主语是由not only...but also连接的，谓语动词的单复数形式应根据就近原则，因此这里填单数形式is。
52．句意：她足够有耐心去照顾她的病人，所以他们都很喜欢她。take动词，本意是带走，拿走。这里是固定短语take care of照顾。这句话中使用的句型是...enough to do sth.足够...去做某事，所以这里填动词不定式形式to take。
53．句意：她把她的大多数时间都奉献到了提高护理技能上。improve是一个动词，提高。这句话中使用了短语devote...to...，把...奉献于某事，to是一个介词，后面应跟名词或者动名词形式。因此这里填动名词improving。
54．句意：去年她被选为他们医院里年度最佳护士。choose选择，是一个动词。根据句意和句子结构可知，这句话的主语she和动词choose之间构成被动关系，应使用被动语态，而且这句话的时间状语是last year，因此这里应填一般过去时的被动语态，was chosen，chosen是choose的过去分词。
55．句意：骑自行车去学校会花费他大约20分钟的时间。ride骑车，是一个动词。这句话使用了take表示花费的句型，It takes sb. sometime +to do sth.花费某人一段之间去做某事，所以这里填动词不定式to ride。
56．句意：他从来不介意一遍又一遍的教他的学生，直到他们能出色地完成他们的作业。teach教，是一个动词。空前mind的意思是介意，常用于句型mind doing sth.介意做某事，故这里填动名词形式teaching。
点睛：这个题型是语法填空，在短文中有若干个空，有的空后给出了提示词，我们应用这个单词的正确形式填空；有的是没有提示词。这个题目中的6个小题后都给出了提示词，我们需要使用他们的正确形式来填空。这6个题目都涉及了词形的变化，这需要学生在平时的学习中多积累一些句型、短语，并能熟练运用。第1小题考查了主谓一致这个语法中的就近一致原则；第2小题考查的是enough做副词的时候常用的一个句型，是动词不定式做结果状语；第3小题考查了固定短语devote...to，to的介词，所以后面跟动名词；第4小题考查了一般过去时的被动语态，还需要注意过去分词的不规则变化；第5小题考查的是take表示花费的句型；最后一个考查了mind的句型。
