For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field, but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.
21. In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced
A. Data Analysts. B. Registered Nurses.
C. Cybersecurity Experts. D. Plumbers and Electricians.
22. To be a cybersecurity expert, which is the basic requirement
A. A master’s degree in computer science.
B. A certificate of high school graduation.
C. A bachelor’s degree in information technology.
D. A diploma officially approved from a medical program.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health lecture. B. A school website.
C. A job advertisement. D. A science magazine.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B
【解析】

We had finally decided to skip our traditional family dinner and make the trip to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when Kerry was 5. Like many other families we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes. After getting off the train, we were walking up to the entrance when Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.
“What’s that ” she asked. Linda and I looked at each other, worried about the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we’d discussed how we would explain such topics as life, death, and love. But homelessness It came so suddenly that we just gave as simple an explanation as we could and continued on to the parade.
The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches. “Can we bring some sandwiches for those people ” she inquired. Again, Kerry caught us off guard. “Why ” was my first reaction. But we knew immediately whom she meant. How could we refuse Why would we refuse This was a golden opportunity to honor Kerry’s sense of charity. Six-year-old Kerry was teaching us an important lesson. That night we prepared and packed two-dozen sandwiches into our now overstuffed backpack.
Scanning the shadows after reaching Manhattan again, Kerry spotted a homeless man sitting in the same spot as last year. We stopped and took out the first of the little feasts from the pack. Without a word of instruction, we handed it to Kerry. She walked over to the man slowly, handing the sandwich to him. Neither spoke a word. Then we were off to the parade, stopping along the way to distribute the rest of the sandwiches, except one for each of us.
Somehow, no giant Thanksgiving sit-down feast ever tasted as good as those sandwiches. Over the next decade we did the same things again and again. After all, there’s nothing like sharing a turkey sandwich with new friends.
24. Why did the author and his wife feel worried when asked about homelessness
A. They were not prepared. B. They paid little attention.
C. They were socially disadvantaged. D. They were inconsiderate.
25. How did the author feel when more sandwiches were asked the next year
A. Relieved. B. Excited. C. Annoyed. D. Astonished.
26. What can best describe Kerry according to the text

Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging facilities. Stella Terra, the world’s first SUV solar-powered vehicle, could change that. It uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun.
“Built by a team of 22 students at Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), it could help connect remote areas ‘where roads are less developed and electricity is not as reliable’, and assist with emergency aid and deliveries,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team.
Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. “Where the SUV market currently innovates on the previous models, we really start from scratch and design everything ourselves,” says Bosman. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.
The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter.
Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.
Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To advertise Stella Terra. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To state the background information. D. To recommend solar panels.
29. What is the key to building Stella Terra
A. Referring to previous models. B. Making the most of each student.
C. Designing a bigger and efficient battery. D. Reducing the weight of the car.
30. How did Stella Terra perform during its test drive in Morocco
A. It ran smoothly on uneven ground. B. It broke down after 1,000 kilometers.
C. It performed poorly on the Sahara Desert. D. It performed better than expected.
31. What does Bosman say about Stella Terra
A. It will be used by emergency services.
B. It consists of more sustainable designs.
C. It benefits places with insufficient electricity.
D. It has been accepted by automotive companies.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. B

细节理解题。根据第三段“Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.(将车辆的重量降到最低是至关重要的，由22名学生组成的团队专注于使每个元素都非常高效)”可知，Stella Terra的关键是减轻汽车的重量。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.(博斯曼指出，事实证明，这辆车的效率比预期的要高三分之一，而且它的轻量化设计使它更不容易在崎岖的地面上卡住，也减轻了悬挂系统的压力)”可知，Stella Terra在摩洛哥的试驾中，它的表现好于预期。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”(博斯曼和他的同行们希望他们的概念SUV能在不久的将来量产。博斯曼说：“我们的目标不仅是激励普通人，也要激励汽车行业，比如福特和克莱斯勒，让他们重新思考自己的设计，比现在更快地创新。”“现在取决于市场，市场有资源和力量来做出这种改变，转向更可持续的汽车。”)”可知，博斯曼是认为Stella Terra包含了更可持续的设计。故选B项。

When physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world mourned (哀悼), after the loss, there remains the enormous legacy of the scientist and the man to consider.
Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.
After co-authoring two books with Hawking, Mlodinow isn’t short of stories, particularly from time spent working together on their book The Grand Design. Hawking lived a colourful life often filled with hardship, and the possibility of death was never far away. Far from letting this be a setback, it is what Hawking credits for his achievements. “It helped me focus,” he tells Mlodinow after dinner one night.
Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth. However, writes Mlodinow, “overtime all that pity would disappear like one of Stephen’s black holes”, adding that “ it occurred to me that Stephen had proved himself to be an iron man in a fragile man’s facade (外表)”. That view becomes one that readers will also tend to adopt as Mlodinow looks back.
Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed. As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that. We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”
32. What can we learn about Mlodinow
A. He was one of Hawking’s friends. B. He worked for Hawking for many years.
C. He wrote two books about Hawking’s life. D. He was the strongest competitor for Hawking.
33. How did Mlodinow feel about Hawking’s living condition at first
A. Admiring. B. Sympathetic. C. Envious. D. Puzzled.
34. What can we infer about Hawking from the last paragraph
A. He kept pushing his limits. B. He had extraordinary talent.
C. He was good at educating others. D. He was a man with definite goals.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To praise a relationship. B. To introduce a book.
C. To honor a breakthrough. D. To promote a physics theory.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B
【解析】

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth.(即便如此，米洛迪诺承认，一开始他还是忍不住为霍金感到难过，因为霍金的病情需要24小时的护理，最终他无法说话，也无法自主移动除了眼睛、眉毛和嘴巴之外的任何东西。)”可知，米洛迪诺一开始对霍金的生活状况很同情。故选B。
34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed.(霍金的成就形式多样，他拒绝在思想和行为上受到限制。)”和第二句中的“Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that.(我们常常因为限制了奋斗的目标而限制了成功的机会。斯蒂芬从来没有这样做过)”可知，从最后一段中可以推断出霍金不断挑战自己的极限。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes, there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.(尽管霍金是一位著名的宇宙学和黑洞专家，但关于他还有很多有待发现的地方。在《斯蒂芬·霍金：友谊与物理的回忆录》一书中，理论物理学家伦纳德·米洛迪诺让读者近距离了解这位著名科学家的生活，从他在大学的早期生活，到21岁被诊断出患有肌萎缩性侧索硬化症，再到后来成为国际名人。)”和最后一段第二句“As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that. We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”(正如米洛迪诺所写：“我们常常通过限制我们努力的目标来限制我们成功的机会。斯蒂芬从来没有这样做过。我们可以习惯任何事情，我们可以完成，如果不是任何事情，那么至少比我们自己认为的要多得多。和斯蒂芬走得越近，就越能理解这一点。”)”可知，文章的目的是介绍《斯蒂芬·霍金：友谊与物理的回忆录》这本书。故选B。

This process gives us the space to explore the full range of emotions that make us human, and allows us to safely sit with a feeling, in relative comfort, until it passes.
With the management, we believe we will be well by the time the next summer rolls around.
A. It prepares us for the coming spring.

67. 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。
Professional explorer Leo Houlding is no stranger to climbing. He’s been doing it since he was 10 years old and has made many expeditions across the globe including to the very top of Mt. Qomolangma, remote Arctic and Antarctic peaks, Yosemite Valley, and jungles of South America.
In 2020, Leo decided to celebrate his 40th birthday by showing his two children, Jackson and Freya, and wife Jessica, what he loves most: climbing cool mountains and exploring new lands. The family would spend four days together climbing the north ridge (山脊) of Piz Badile (巴迪莱峰), part of the picturesque Alps on the border of Switzerland and Italy. Their destination was the top of Piz Badile, with nearly 11,000 feet tall.
The family have previously climbed a few other mountains in Europe but the Piz Badile climb was harder than the ones they climbed. In 2019, Leo and Jessica, together with their kids Freya and Jackson who were only six and two separately at the time, skied down Les Grandes Platiers in Flaine unassisted and unsupported. Leo reported this was one of his family life goals.
However, Freya wasn’t that confident as expected this time. So Jessica decided to encourage her by telling their dad’s story.
Their dad Leo grew up in the Lakes, a mountainous region in North West England, and started rock climbing at the age of 10. By the time Leo was 16 he had become the British Junior Indoor Climbing Champion. When he was only 18, Leo landed in Yosemite Valley with the similarly youthful Patch Hammond and made a landmark ascent (攀登). Leo is brave and never gives up in the face of difficulty.
注意：

Paragraph 2:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Freya was moved and inspired by their dad’s story. She said she would not give up, either. The family set out on a fine day. Freya made the travel completely by herself. Three- year-old Jackson was impressive too because he tried his best to climb all the way. When he was too tired to move, he had to be carried in his mother’s backpack. The lovely kids never cried because of tiredness or their physical pain. Their parents were happy to see their courage and perseverance.
It took them three days to get to the top and they’d spend three nights camping there. When they got to the peak, the two children were really excited. They were amazed at the view, which was beyond description. The nights were spent in the tent. Young Jackson said he enjoyed the part of the climb he was able to accomplish on his own and Freya said that although it was dangerous, she was happy and very proud of herself! The children were praised for their perseverance and unmatched determination.

For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.

We had finally decided to skip our traditional family dinner and make the trip to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when Kerry was 5. Like many other families we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes. After getting off the train, we were walking up to the entrance when Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.
“What’s that ” she asked. Linda and I looked at each other, worried about the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we’d discussed how we would explain such topics as life, death, and love. But homelessness It came so suddenly that we just gave as simple an explanation as we could and continued on to the parade.
The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches. “Can we bring some sandwiches for those people ” she inquired.

Without a word of instruction, we handed it to Kerry. She walked over to the man slowly, handing the sandwich to him. Neither spoke a word. Then we were off to the parade, stopping along the way to distribute the rest of the sandwiches, except one for each of us.

Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging facilities. Stella Terra, the world’s first SUV solar-powered vehicle, could change that. It uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun.
“Built by a team of 22 students at Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), it could help connect remote areas ‘where roads are less developed and electricity is not as reliable’, and assist with emergency aid and deliveries,” says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team.
Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. “Where the SUV market currently innovates on the previous models, we really start from scratch and design everything ourselves,” says Bosman. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight was essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element extremely efficient.
The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter.
Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rough ground, and put less stress on its suspension.
Bosman and his peers hope their concept SUV could be mass produced in the near future. “We aim to also inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. “It’s up to the market now, which has the resources and the power to make this change and the switch to more sustainable vehicles.”
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To advertise Stella Terra. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To state the background information. D. To recommend solar panels.
29. What is the key to building Stella Terra
A. Referring to previous models. B. Making the most of each student.
C. Designing a bigger and efficient battery. D. Reducing the weight of the car.
30. How did Stella Terra perform during its test drive in Morocco
A. It ran smoothly on uneven ground. B. It broke down after 1,000 kilometers.
C. It performed poorly on the Sahara Desert. D. It performed better than expected.
31. What does Bosman say about Stella Terra
A. It will be used by emergency services.
B. It consists of more sustainable designs.
C. It benefits places with insufficient electricity.
D. It has been accepted by automotive companies.
D
When physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world mourned (哀悼), after the loss, there remains the enormous legacy of the scientist and the man to consider.
Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes, there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.
After co-authoring two books with Hawking, Mlodinow isn’t short of stories, particularly from time spent working together on their book The Grand Design. Hawking lived a colourful life often filled with hardship, and the possibility of death was never far away. Far from letting this be a setback, it is what Hawking credits for his achievements. “It helped me focus,” he tells Mlodinow after dinner one night.
Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth. However, writes Mlodinow, “overtime all that pity would disappear like one of Stephen’s black holes”, adding that “ it occurred to me that Stephen had proved himself to be an iron man in a fragile man’s facade (外表)”. That view becomes one that readers will also tend to adopt as Mlodinow looks back.
Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed. As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that. We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”
32. What can we learn about Mlodinow
A. He was one of Hawking’s friends. B. He worked for Hawking for many years.
C. He wrote two books about Hawking’s life. D. He was the strongest competitor for Hawking.
33. How did Mlodinow feel about Hawking’s living condition at first
A. Admiring. B. Sympathetic. C. Envious. D. Puzzled.
34. What can we infer about Hawking from the last paragraph
A. He kept pushing his limits. B. He had extraordinary talent.
C. He was good at educating others. D. He was a man with definite goals.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To praise a relationship. B. To introduce a book.
C To honor a breakthrough. D. To promote a physics theory.

This process gives us the space to explore the full range of emotions that make us human, and allows us to safely sit with a feeling, in relative comfort, until it passes.
With the management, we believe we will be well by the time the next summer rolls around.
A. It prepares us for the coming spring.

Their dad Leo grew up in the Lakes, a mountainous region in North West England, and started rock climbing at the age of 10. By the time Leo was 16 he had become the British Junior Indoor Climbing Champion. When he was only 18, Leo landed in Yosemite Valley with the similarly youthful Patch Hammond and made a landmark ascent (攀登). Leo is brave and never gives up in the face of difficulty.
