Look people in the eye. Smile. Shake hands. Sit up tall. Speak clearly and confidently. That's the last-minute advice professor Paul Calhoun gives a handful of college students before they head off for a series of job interviews.
The Skidmore College seniors he's talking to are dressed in suits and shirts, or dresses and heels.
There isn't an actual job on the other end of these interviews, just a satisfactory / unsatisfactory grade from a class called Presenting the Brand Called Me at this college in New York. Calhoun created the popular course 10 years ago. He'd spent more than three decades working in the banking industry, where he saw the importance of presentation skills: “A lot of it is acting.”
When he came to Skidmore as a business professor, he noticed a lot of students struggling with public speaking. He got theater professors to help him shape what eventually became this class, in order to give business majors the training analogous to what the theater department gives to actors.
Over the 13 weeks, there's some role-playing with improv —“Talk for a minute about anything — go!”There are dance classes, and many guest speakers who talk about cover letters, resumes and personal branding. By the end of the course, students leave with a polished “STAR” story — the short story about themselves and their abilities that's designed to help land them a job. “People don't remember when you tell them you're good at something,” Calhoun explains. “They remember when you tell them a story that proves you're good at something.” Dante Delemos is a junior business major. In his interviews, he tells a story about winning the election for class president. And it works. Delemos is spending the summer working part-time in finance.
In addition, the class also created professional-sounding email addresses for students. Say goodbye to “Bubblegum123.” “You can't email your future boss with some really odd email name,” explains Tytianna McClenningham, a recent graduate. And there're email manners, too. “I didn't even think it was important to use a subject in an email,” McClenningham says. “But now I know.”

An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin. Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement, the researchers' system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics(螺旋图形) in real time on a smartphone, as well as a recording of data, for the wearer to interpret and reflect on.
The prototype(雏形) visualisation system, called 'Affective Health', was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones.
A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for. Instead, they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions, how increased sweating increased the conductivity, and how this was represented by different colours. The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology.
The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels. While others, including outstanding athletes, used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes. Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions. But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.
Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.
8、What were the participants unaware of about the prototype
A. Its function as a measuring tool.
B. Its reactions to physical activity.
C. Its colourful spiral graphics.
D. Its specified uses.
9、What interested the researchers
A. People used the device quite differently.
B. Few used the device to help better themselves.
C. Many considered the device a single-purpose tool.
D. Many purposely avoided the device's certain functions.
10、What can be learned about Affective Health
A. It has a rising market share.
B. It causes trouble for users.
C. It lacks competitiveness.
D. It needs improvement.
11、What can be the best title for the text
A. Sweat, a Mood Detector
B. Time to Reflect on Ourselves
C. Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity
D. Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin
The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. But as a consumer, it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat. A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it a cinch. “It lets you track, improve and offset the climate impact of your food purchases,” co-founder Hugh Weldon says.
Users simply photograph their grocery receipt using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type, weight and origin of a food against a database. The app also gives users the option to offset their shopping by contributing to Go Carbon Neutral, an Irish not-for-profit initiative that plants native woodland.
As well as the immediate impact of offsetting groceries, Evocco hopes to raise public awareness of the carbon footprint of different foods. Some factors are well known — for instance, animal products are typically more resource-intensive than most plant-based alternatives, and importing products increases their carbon footprint — but the app also helps identify other important differences between items, such as seasonality or whether refrigeration was required on the journey to market. It also offers tips on how to reduce shopping emissions. The app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch.
As well as the personal shopping app, Evocco is developing a digital tool to sell to food retailers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product's journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help retailers provide climate impact information directly for consumers, while also giving Evocco access to product data to improve its app. “Our vision is to be the go-to digital tool for the food industry when it comes to supplying climate impact information and sustainable consumption insights,” says Weldon.
12、What does the underlined part “a cinch” in paragraph 1 mean
A. A huge success. B. An easy task.
C. A great challenge. D. An official standard.
13、What might Evocco suggest users buy
A. Local seasonal fruits.
B. Local refrigerated meat.
C. Imported cold chain meat.
D. Imported seasonal vegetables.
14、What will Evocco's digital tool be used for
A. Finding ways to reduce the carbon footprint.
B. Promoting the food industry on e-commerce platforms.
C. Monitoring products' climate impact during transportation.
D. Helping consumers access up-to-date information about retailers.
15、What can be the best title for the text
A. Why grocery stores are bad for the environment
B. What to buy at grocery stores for the lowest carbon footprint
C. Go Carbon Neutral helps offset your shopping's carbon footprint
D. An app can work out your carbon footprint from your grocery receipt

34、“What’s that squeaky noise ” Meg asked her eight-year-old daughter, Haley. She looked down at the girl’s shoes and noticed her sneakers’ soles had been torn open. Meg and Haley were on their way home from school, and it had just stopped raining. Water on the road had leaked into Haley’s damaged shoes, making a squishy noise.
Meg immediately took her daughter to a shoe store to buy her a new pair of sneakers. She had some money for groceries but thought getting Haley a new pair of shoes was more important. “How about these ” asked Haley, who was checking shoes in the section only for boys. “Mama, I want these limited-edition sneakers. Buddy loves a TV show and always tells me how he wishes to wear such shoes.”
Meg frowned. Not only did she not have money to afford two pairs of shoes, but she wondered why Haley was too interested in getting her classmate Buddy a new pair. Sensing her mother’s hesitation, Haley continued, “Buddy is from a very poor family, mama. Poorer than us. His shoes are torn and look miserable. Everybody laughs at him. Please, can we buy these shoes for him You can buy mine later.”
Meg thought for a while and decided it would be best if she bought her daughter shoes for now. “You will fall sick if you keep wearing your wet, torn shoes. I’m sorry, honey, but you need a new pair. “Haley sighed heavily and agreed. She was not excited to see the new pair of sneakers her mom had bought for her.
As Meg and Haley left, Bob, the shoe store owner who knew Meg well, walked to the entrance and sighed. He had overheard everything and knew what it was like to live in poverty. He wanted to help Haley fulfill her mission of helping Buddy but didn't know how. Moreover, the pair of shoes Haley wanted to get for Buddy was a limited-edition collection, which had been ordered by someone else. He could not simply give them away.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house.

33、答案：
Good afternoon, dear friends! I'd like to briefly introduce the Four Great Classical Novels of China to you and give you some advice.
The Four Great Classical Novels of China are thought to be the best novels in Chinese literature, and they have had a significant influence on Chinese people. What these novels have in common is that they were written in the spoken language of their times. They might be difficult for foreigners to understand, so you should get a Chinese dictionary ready for reference. Besides, it would be helpful to know some background knowledge about Chinese history. If you have any questions about these novels, don't hesitate to ask me.
I hope you will enjoy reading them.
Thanks for listening.
解析：
34、答案：
Possible version1:
Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. Wriggling his way through the sections where old limited-edition shoes were stocked, he searched high and low and finally rested his eyes on the shoe box at the top of the shelf. There it was; the pair bore much resemblance to what Buddy desired but were an older version. He gingerly brought it down and dusted the ash off. Then he contacted Haley's mother and explained his motive. “I want to surprise the girl. Is that OK if I drop off the shoes before six tomorrow morning ” “Sure. Thanks, Mr. White. I'm glad you could help!” Meg said gratefully.
The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and caught sight of the note stuck on the box. It read, “Hope Buddy loves them!” Curious to know what was inside, Haley hurriedly opened the box and stood stunned the next minute. Though a bit different, the shoes were what would make Buddy exhilarated. Cradling the shoes in her arms, she cried in joy. Meg, who had been hidden behind the door to eye her daughter’s reaction, shed tears, too. She was convinced that something else illuminated her that day—two golden hearts.
Possible version2:
Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. As he searched through the boxes of shoes, he came across a pair of limited edition sneakers that had been returned because of a minor defect on one of the soles. Although the defect did not affect the shoe's performance, it had made them unsellable. Bob realized that these sneakers were perfect for Buddy and that he could give them to Haley to give to him. Therefore, Bob attached a note to the shoe box and sent it to Haley’s home overnight.
The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house. She excitedly opened it to find the limited-edition sneakers she had wanted for Buddy, along with a note from Bob. The note explained that he had overheard their conversation and wanted to help. He told Haley to give the shoes to Buddy as a gift from her, and to not worry about the cost. Haley's eyes filled with tears of gratitude, and she couldn't wait to surprise Buddy with his new shoes.

Look people in the eye. Smile. Shake hands. Sit up tall. Speak clearly and confidently. That's the last-minute advice professor Paul Calhoun gives a handful of college students before they head off for a series of job interviews.
The Skidmore College seniors he's talking to are dressed in suits and shirts, or dresses and heels.
There isn't an actual job on the other end of these interviews, just a satisfactory / unsatisfactory grade from a class called Presenting the Brand Called Me at this college in New York. Calhoun created the popular course 10 years ago. He'd spent more than three decades working in the banking industry, where he saw the importance of presentation skills: “A lot of it is acting.”
When he came to Skidmore as a business professor, he noticed a lot of students struggling with public speaking. He got theater professors to help him shape what eventually became this class, in order to give business majors the training analogous to what the theater department gives to actors.
Over the 13 weeks, there's some role-playing with improv —“Talk for a minute about anything — go!”There are dance classes, and many guest speakers who talk about cover letters, resumes and personal branding. By the end of the course, students leave with a polished “STAR” story — the short story about themselves and their abilities that's designed to help land them a job. “People don't remember when you tell them you're good at something,” Calhoun explains. “They remember when you tell them a story that proves you're good at something.” Dante Delemos is a junior business major. In his interviews, he tells a story about winning the election for class president. And it works. Delemos is spending the summer working part-time in finance.
In addition, the class also created professional-sounding email addresses for students. Say goodbye to “Bubblegum123.” “You can't email your future boss with some really odd email name,” explains Tytianna McClenningham, a recent graduate. And there're email manners, too. “I didn't even think it was important to use a subject in an email,” McClenningham says. “But now I know.”
4、What is described in the first paragraph

An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin. Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement, the researchers' system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics(螺旋图形) in real time on a smartphone, as well as a recording of data, for the wearer to interpret and reflect on.
The prototype(雏形) visualisation system, called 'Affective Health', was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones.
A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for. Instead, they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions, how increased sweating increased the conductivity, and how this was represented by different colours. The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology.
The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels. While others, including outstanding athletes, used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes. Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions. But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.
Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.
8、What were the participants unaware of about the prototype
A. Its function as a measuring tool.
B. Its reactions to physical activity.
C. Its colourful spiral graphics.
D. Its specified uses.
9、What interested the researchers
A. People used the device quite differently.
B. Few used the device to help better themselves.
C. Many considered the device a single-purpose tool.
D. Many purposely avoided the device's certain functions.
10、What can be learned about Affective Health
A. It has a rising market share.
B. It causes trouble for users.
C. It lacks competitiveness.
D. It needs improvement.
11、What can be the best title for the text
A. Sweat, a Mood Detector
B. Time to Reflect on Ourselves
C. Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity
D. Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin
The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. But as a consumer, it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat. A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it a cinch. “It lets you track, improve and offset the climate impact of your food purchases,” co-founder Hugh Weldon says.
Users simply photograph their grocery receipt using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type, weight and origin of a food against a database. The app also gives users the option to offset their shopping by contributing to Go Carbon Neutral, an Irish not-for-profit initiative that plants native woodland.
As well as the immediate impact of offsetting groceries, Evocco hopes to raise public awareness of the carbon footprint of different foods. Some factors are well known — for instance, animal products are typically more resource-intensive than most plant-based alternatives, and importing products increases their carbon footprint — but the app also helps identify other important differences between items, such as seasonality or whether refrigeration was required on the journey to market. It also offers tips on how to reduce shopping emissions. The app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch.
As well as the personal shopping app, Evocco is developing a digital tool to sell to food retailers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product's journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help retailers provide climate impact information directly for consumers, while also giving Evocco access to product data to improve its app. “Our vision is to be the go-to digital tool for the food industry when it comes to supplying climate impact information and sustainable consumption insights,” says Weldon.
12、What does the underlined part “a cinch” in paragraph 1 mean
A. A huge success. B. An easy task.
C. A great challenge. D. An official standard.
13、What might Evocco suggest users buy
A. Local seasonal fruits.
B. Local refrigerated meat.
C. Imported cold chain meat.
D. Imported seasonal vegetables.
14、What will Evocco's digital tool be used for
A. Finding ways to reduce the carbon footprint.
B. Promoting the food industry on e-commerce platforms.
C. Monitoring products' climate impact during transportation.
D. Helping consumers access up-to-date information about retailers.
15、What can be the best title for the text
A. Why grocery stores are bad for the environment
B. What to buy at grocery stores for the lowest carbon footprint
C. Go Carbon Neutral helps offset your shopping's carbon footprint
D. An app can work out your carbon footprint from your grocery receipt

34、“What’s that squeaky noise ” Meg asked her eight-year-old daughter, Haley. She looked down at the girl’s shoes and noticed her sneakers’ soles had been torn open. Meg and Haley were on their way home from school, and it had just stopped raining. Water on the road had leaked into Haley’s damaged shoes, making a squishy noise.
Meg immediately took her daughter to a shoe store to buy her a new pair of sneakers. She had some money for groceries but thought getting Haley a new pair of shoes was more important. “How about these ” asked Haley, who was checking shoes in the section only for boys. “Mama, I want these limited-edition sneakers. Buddy loves a TV show and always tells me how he wishes to wear such shoes.”
Meg frowned. Not only did she not have money to afford two pairs of shoes, but she wondered why Haley was too interested in getting her classmate Buddy a new pair. Sensing her mother’s hesitation, Haley continued, “Buddy is from a very poor family, mama. Poorer than us. His shoes are torn and look miserable. Everybody laughs at him. Please, can we buy these shoes for him You can buy mine later.”
Meg thought for a while and decided it would be best if she bought her daughter shoes for now. “You will fall sick if you keep wearing your wet, torn shoes. I’m sorry, honey, but you need a new pair. “Haley sighed heavily and agreed. She was not excited to see the new pair of sneakers her mom had bought for her.
As Meg and Haley left, Bob, the shoe store owner who knew Meg well, walked to the entrance and sighed. He had overheard everything and knew what it was like to live in poverty. He wanted to help Haley fulfill her mission of helping Buddy but didn't know how. Moreover, the pair of shoes Haley wanted to get for Buddy was a limited-edition collection, which had been ordered by someone else. He could not simply give them away.

34、答案：
Possible version1:
Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. Wriggling his way through the sections where old limited-edition shoes were stocked, he searched high and low and finally rested his eyes on the shoe box at the top of the shelf. There it was; the pair bore much resemblance to what Buddy desired but were an older version. He gingerly brought it down and dusted the ash off. Then he contacted Haley's mother and explained his motive. “I want to surprise the girl. Is that OK if I drop off the shoes before six tomorrow morning ” “Sure. Thanks, Mr. White. I'm glad you could help!” Meg said gratefully.
The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and caught sight of the note stuck on the box. It read, “Hope Buddy loves them!” Curious to know what was inside, Haley hurriedly opened the box and stood stunned the next minute. Though a bit different, the shoes were what would make Buddy exhilarated. Cradling the shoes in her arms, she cried in joy. Meg, who had been hidden behind the door to eye her daughter’s reaction, shed tears, too. She was convinced that something else illuminated her that day—two golden hearts.
Possible version2:
Suddenly, Bob remembered something and climbed downstairs where old shoes were stored. As he searched through the boxes of shoes, he came across a pair of limited edition sneakers that had been returned because of a minor defect on one of the soles. Although the defect did not affect the shoe's performance, it had made them unsellable. Bob realized that these sneakers were perfect for Buddy and that he could give them to Haley to give to him. Therefore, Bob attached a note to the shoe box and sent it to Haley’s home overnight.
The next morning, Haley was shocked to find a shoe box lying outside her house. She excitedly opened it to find the limited-edition sneakers she had wanted for Buddy, along with a note from Bob. The note explained that he had overheard their conversation and wanted to help. He told Haley to give the shoes to Buddy as a gift from her, and to not worry about the cost. Haley's eyes filled with tears of gratitude, and she couldn't wait to surprise Buddy with his new shoes.
