Many college students want to look for seasonal,short-term or part-time jobs to get extra cash,to stay busy or to get working experience.
Lifeguard
The job is a great opportunity to build your fitness,keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy some fun on the beach in the sun.The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $9.31,but those with certifications or previous experience may be able to earn a bit more.
Nanny (保姆)
Students can find plenty of positions as parents scramble (争抢) to arrange activities and find care for their children.Students who enjoy spending time with kids,staying active and being outdoors can spend their leisure time making money without even feeling like they're working.Nannies make $14.56 per hour.
Camp Consultant
Students who enjoy spending their time with children,being a leader and monitoring fun outdoor activities are perfect for camp consultant positions.The average hourly wage for camp consultants is $9.28,but those with many years' experience or specific academic backgrounds may be able to earn more.
Food Server
Although it may not seem like the most attractive way to spend a weekend,working as wait staff allows students to build up their social skills,stay active,enjoy free meals at work and educate themselves about different cuisines.However,food servers need to be on their feet for hours at a time and must be able to multi-task like professionals,so take this into account before submitting an application.The average salary is $9.00 hourly,but trips can raise that number.

Mona Zipay was there almost from the beginning when her boss decided to become an independent insurance adjuster (理算员) in 1955.
Fifty-eight years later,she decided it was time to retire from Dorner Adjustment Co.“I love what I did,” said Zipay,83,of Whitney Point, New York.“I still do.But it's time to stay at home now.”
The secretary has helped customers through natural disasters and fires.She has lived longer than her boss John M.Dorner and remembers when women were not allowed to wear pants to work.Not only has she used manual typewriters,electric typewriters and computers,but she's also adapted to a wave of technology so she could type out reports sent to insurers.
“But what has served her well through the years has been her typing and customer service skills,” said MaryAnn Dorner,daughter-in-law of John Dorner.“She's an excellent typist,” MaryAnn Dorner said.“She's accurate and she's fast.She's professional on the phones,keeping a good temper when dealing with irate customers,” said Patrick Dorner,who now operates the company.
Dorner Adjustment Co. wasn't the only place Zipay worked.She graduated from high school in 1951,taking business courses because she knew she would not be able to afford college and didn't want to work in a factory.
John Dorner invited her to his new company in 1955 from the General Adjustment Bureau in downtown Binghamton,New York.There they had worked together until John Dorner decided to become an independent agent.
Now,Zipay wears pants but always dresses professionally.
“That was one of the things that impressed me about her,” MaryAnn Dorner said.“She's always dressed up.”

Nobody likes home economics (家政学).But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的)diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically.The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s.When most departments of universities rejected women,home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed,in the early 20th century,home economics was a serious subject.When few people understood germ (微生物)theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins,home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly,eating fruit and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However,today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics,forgetting the movement's most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking.Too many Americans simply don't know how to cook.Our diets,consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home,have contributed to many serious health problems.In the last decade,many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券)to buy soda.Clearly,many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating.But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school.A year later,my father's job took our family to Wales,where I attended a large school for a few months.It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything.I remember that it was fun,and with an instructor standing by,it wasn't hard.Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do.Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today.The history of home economics shows it's possible.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是家政学的历史和发展。
8.What do we know about home economics according to the passage
A.It is a subject becoming more and more popular with Americans.
B.It is often used to help fight against obesity and chronic diseases.
C.It once offered women a special approach to university education.
D.It was first taught in the agricultural and technical colleges in the early 1900s.
C [细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“When most departments of universities rejected women,home economics was a back door into higher education.”可知,家政学给了女性一个进入大学接受高等教育的机会。故选C。]
9.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A.The importance of regular hand washing.
B.The health benefits of fruit and vegetables.
C.The contents of home economics classes in the early 20th century.

10.In the opinion of the author,how should we fight against childhood obesity
A.Children should be taught how to cook.

Did you know there are animals in your head There are four,in fact: an elephant,a guard dog,an owl and a sooty (a black-feathered bird a bit like a seagull).They constantly chat to each other.If one gets a bit over-excited — say,if the guard dog senses a threat and starts barking loudly — then the rest can't communicate with each other,and that's not good news.You might start to feel stressed or anxious or sad.
What the animals represent in the brain and what those parts of the brain are responsible for are the subjects of a new podcast (播客) teaching primary school-age children about their mental health and how to look after it.
The teachers of these lessons are pretty young,too: they're 12.They're pupils at Woollahra Public School in Sydney,Australia,who have been working with social company Grow Your Mind to create the podcast.
“I used to hear a lot that the kids need to be more adaptable,” says Nicole Molloy,the school's head teacher.“We don't say that they need to be able to do this math problem; we always teach them how to complete the math problem.So why shouldn't we be doing that for mental health?”
A selection of older children from years five and six are “well-being leaders” for the school and meet with Molloy once a week to talk about student well-being.That helps to keep both the older and younger children very interested in the topic.Although there's no data yet to quantify (量化) the effect this approach has had,Molloy says there are noticeable differences.Children now use the language and concepts they've learned about their mental health in everyday conversations.Teachers said that the students appear to have coped well with the stress of the pandemic,too.
Focusing on mental health doesn't harm their studies,either.In fact,Molloy argues,it improves them.“Our program proves it,” she says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个小学高年级学生通过播客来帮助低年级学生解决心理问题的项目。
12.What do the animals in the first paragraph refer to
A.Topics for the children's biology classes.
B.Different mental situations in the children's heads.
C.Primary school students' imaginary friends.
D.Popular animals among primary school students.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知,这里的animals指的是学生的不同心理状况。]
13.Who will give lessons in the podcast
A.The students' doctors.
B.The school's head teacher.
C.Older primary school students.
D.Experts from Grow Your Mind.
C [细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,这里的“老师”是小学高年级的学生。]
14.What does Nicole Molloy expect the podcast to do
A.Improve kids' performance on math tests.
B.Provide kids with a chance to show their talents.
C.Teach kids ways to deal with mental problems.
D.Allow kids to practice public speaking more.
C [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“we always teach them... So why shouldn't we be doing that for mental health?”可推知,Nicole Molloy旨在通过这个播客教学生处理心理问题。]
15.Which of the following can best describe the effect of the podcast
A.Desirable. B.Harmful.
C.Disappointing. D.Unnoticeable.
A [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“there are noticeable differences”以及所举的例子可知,播客的效果令人满意。]

36.generally [考查固定短语。 generally speaking“一般来说”,该短语是固定短语,副词修饰动词,所以填generally。]
37.entered [考查时态。根据时间状语in 1995可知,这是在描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,所以填entered。]
38.completing [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构,介词After后用动词-ing形式作宾语,所以填completing。]
39.to become [考查非谓语动词。allow sb.to do sth.“允许某人做某事”,其被动语态为sb.be allowed to do sth.“某人被允许做某事”,所以填to become。]
40.for [考查介词。apply for“申请”,该短语是固定短语,所以填for。]
41.paths [考查名词复数。分析句子结构,该空作句子主语,用名词,前面有two修饰,用名词复数,所以填paths。]
42.is [考查时态和主谓一致。根据“If you are in the pilot path,being a test pilot gives you more points in the selection”可知,描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时,主语much similarity,在这里用作不可数名词,谓语动词用单数,所以填is。]
43.that [考查代词。这里指代前文出现的“work”,不可数名词,如果代指在前文中出现的对等的部分(不是同一个事物,只是对等)就用that。所以填that。]
44.were chosen [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in 2008可知,描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时;主语“two astronauts”和谓语动词“choose”之间是被动关系,用被动语态;主语是复数,谓语动词用复数形式,所以填were chosen。]
45.who [考查定语从句。分析句子结构,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词one,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,用who引导该从句。所以填who。]

Bike-sharing
Today,as a greener means of transportation,bike-sharing is becoming more and more popular in many cities.
It has many advantages and is enjoyed by lots of people.First of all,it's very convenient for people to go somewhere.Also,it helps to reduce the traffic pressure and air pollution.Besides,it helps people take more exercise,which is helpful for people's health.However,it also brings some problems.Some people throw them away after using bikes.Even some people damage them,and some bikes are stolen.
In my opinion,everyone should follow the rules and take good care of bikes.Only in this way can we live a more convenient life.
第二节
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。
In 1955,Andrew,an 11-year-old boy,saw a beautiful hairpin (发夹) in a shop window that set his heart racing.But the price,five dollars,was too high for him.Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Andrew couldn't ask his father for the money.Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother,Sally.Slim and beautiful,she was the center of the home,the glue that held it together.The housework was never ending,and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless,he opened the shop's old door and went inside.Standing proud and straight in his yellowed shirt and washed-out trousers,he told the shopkeeper what he wanted,adding,“But I don't have the money right now.Can you please hold it for me for some time?”
“I'll try,” the shopkeeper smiled.“People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things.It should keep for a while.”
Andrew touched his worn cap and walked out.He would raise the money and not tell anybody,for he thought Mom would get surprised when she saw that hairpin.On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street,Andrew suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags.People built their own homes in Bay Roberts,using nails bought in bags from a local factory.Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site,and Andrew knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a cola box.

Every day after school,Andrew started his plan.Cold and hungry,Andrew wandered the streets,searching for the nail bags carefully.To save more money,he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning.Exhausted and tired as he felt,he still stuck to the plan.It was the hairpin in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile.After a long time of hard work,he made it eventually.
Finally,the time came!He took out the cola box,poured the coins out and began to count.Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the cola box firmly,Andrew rushed for the shop to buy the hairpin.The moment he got the beautiful hairpin,he burst through the front door and placed it in Sally's hand.Never had Sally received such a gift.Speechless and happy,she held her son tightly into her arms,with tears welling up in her eyes.Section Ⅳ Developing ideas—Writing

课时分层作业(十二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.The program aims to help students develop science skills,environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores.“The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says.“They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden.Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition.Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students,many of whom have emotional control issues.“They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”

B
Being an information technology,or IT,worker is not a job I envy.They are the ones who,right in the middle of a critical meeting,are expected to instantly fix the projector that's no longer working.They have to tolerate the bad tempers of colleagues frustrated at the number of times they've had to call the help desk for the same issue.They are also the ones who know there are systems that are more powerful,reliable and faster,but their employer simply will not put up the funds to buy them.
According to a recent survey,employees who have a job dependent on IT support consider IT a major source of job dissatisfaction.Though no fault of their own,they can suddenly find their productivity getting worse or quality control non-existent.And there's little they can do about it.
The experience of using IT exists almost the entire work field.It has become a critical part of employees' overall work experience.When IT is operating as it should,employee self-confidence swells.Their job satisfaction,too,can surge when well-functioning machines relieve them of dull tasks or repetitive processes.But if there's one thing that causes widespread employee frustration,it's an IT transformation project gone wrong,where swollen expectations have been popped and a long list of promised efficiencies have been reversed.This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user,which is why managers should appreciate just how influential the IT user experience is to their employees,and make substantial effort in ensuring their IT team eliminates programming errors and application crashes.Adequate and timely IT support should also be available to enable users to cope with technological issues at work.More importantly,IT practitioners need to understand what employees experience mentally when they use IT.
Therefore,businesses need to set up their IT infrastructure so that it is designed to fit in with their employees' work,rather than adjust their work to fit in with the company's IT limitations.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了信息技术工作的重要性以及对员工所产生的影响,最后作者指出企业需要建立其IT基础设施,使其设计成适合员工的工作,而不是调整他们的工作以适应公司的IT限制。

A.Employees become more confident in their work.
B.There are no longer any boring or repetitive tasks.
C.Employees become more dependent on machines.
D.There is a big boost in employees' work efficiency.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When IT is operating as it should,employee self-confidence swells.”可知,当IT正常工作时,员工在工作中变得更加自信。故选A。]
7.What should business leaders do before carrying out new IT initiatives
A.Draw up a list of the efficiencies to be promised.
B.Assess the swollen cost of training the employees.
C.Think about the possible effects on their employees.
D.Consider the various expectations of their customers.
C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This occurs when business... application crashes.”可知,在实施新的IT计划之前,业务领导应该考虑对员工可能产生的影响。故选C。]
8.How can a business help improve its employees' experience in using IT
A.By adjusting their work to suit the IT system.
B.By ensuring that their mental health is sound.
C.By offering them regular in-service training.
D.By designing systems that suit their needs.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adequate and timely IT... when they use IT.”以及最后一段内容可知,企业通过设计适合他们需要的系统帮助提高员工使用IT的体验。故选D。]

Dear Ryan,
I'm Li Hua from Class 3.We're overwhelmed with excitement at the knowledge that an oral English class will be arranged for us.But learning that we'll be randomly paired to do the oral practice, I feel an urge to express my different voice, hoping that this wouldn't offend you.
To begin with, it couldn't be better if students with mixed levels of English could be grouped together deliberately rather than at random, so that we can help each other during our practice. Additionally, to ensure that our oral practice goes smoothly, I suggest that you put three to four students together, with one as the group leader, in which case we can communicate with each other at a great depth.
Should it be possible, I truly hope you can take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,

4.My father was easily cheated,which surprised me.
5.The reason why he failed in the exam was that he didn't study hard.
6.We then moved to Paris,where we lived for six years.
[归纳用法]
1.引导定语从句的有关系代词(who,whom,that,which,as)、关系副词(where,when,why)和介词+关系代词。关系词包括关系代词和关系副词。
2.定语从句可以分为限制性定语从句(如例1、例2、例5) 和非限制性定语从句(如例3、例4、例6)。
3.限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语,如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。该从句与主句的关系十分密切,和先行词之间没有逗号分开,作宾语的关系代词通常可以省略。
4.非限制性定语从句只是对先行词作附加补充说明,如果去掉,主句的意思仍然清楚完整。该从句与主句的关系不是很密切,和先行词之间有逗号分开;不能用why引导,一般不用that引导;关系代/副词均不可省略。
5.定语从句的先行词可以是一个词(如例2、例6)、几个词(如例1、例3、例5)或整个句子(如例4)。
二、“(名词/代词/形容词最高级+)介词+关系代词(+名词)”引导的定语从句

8.There is a big window in my room,from where I can see the railway station.
[归纳用法]
1.介词后的关系代词只用which或whom。
2.介词的选用受到三个方面的制约:(1)介词与先行词的搭配习惯(如例 1 中的in the way );(2)介词是从句中谓语的组成部分(如例 2 中的turn to,例4 中的 is proud of );(3)句子意思表达的需要(如例 3 )。
3.“名词/代词+介词+关系代词”可用“whose+名词”替换(如例 5 中 可换为whose price)。
4.“形容词最高级+of+关系代词”可以引导定语从句(如例 6 )。另外,“数词/some,many,most,each等不定代词+of+关系代词”也可以引导定语从句。
5.有时为了表达清楚,用“介词+关系副词”引导定语从句(如例 8)。
6.“介词+关系代词+名词”引导定语从句,是句子意思表达的需要(如例 7)。

Business Blossoms
As she spoke,Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking.She couldn't,however,hide the line of sweat running down her forehead,which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio,but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her.They stared back,their blank① faces giving no clue② as to what they would say next.[1] Feeling dizzy,Zhang Yue took a deep breath③ as she struggled to finish④ her presentation⑤, “And that is why I need your help in turning my new and exciting business into a successful one.”
[1]此处为动词-ing形式短语作状语。
Now chairwoman of her own company,Zhang Yue is fond of⑥ saying,“The early bird catches the worm.” The place where this happens is a valley,a world away from any television studio.Moving carefully through the darkness,she passes row upon row⑦ of rose plants.In an hour,these fields will be full of people,working quickly to pick the flowers before sunrise.“It has to be done then,” says Zhang.“These flowers are delicate⑧.”
Zhang never thought that this was something she would end up⑨ doing.Surrounded by roses as she was growing up,she paid them little attention.[2] It was only after graduating from university overseas and returning to visit her parents that Zhang realised the potential⑩.“Conditions are ideal here,” she says.“This is a place where roses grow wild.”
[2]本句为强调句,强调的句子成分为时间状语。
Zhang therefore decided to return to her home town and grow roses,which surprised many people.“I wanted to experience the freedom of being my own boss,” she said.“But I also wanted to give something back to my home town.As people say,‘It takes a village to raiseB13 a child.’”
She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the start-up bug .All over the world,an increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses,as the growing economy creates more opportunities.Like Zhang,they present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice,and they have the same passion and devotion .The majority meet with rejection .A few,like Zhang Yue,find themselves lucky enough to get investment and the all-important input and support from more experienced business people.The road to their success is however still a long and difficult one,with many challenges along the way.
As someone who grew up in the country,Zhang already knew about growing plants.However,like any entrepreneur who was just starting out,she still had a lot to learn.She has overcome a number of obstacles in nursing her business to the success it is today.“The biggest challenge at the initial phase was to persuade people to work for me,which was totally outside my experience.Few in the village believed I could create a multi-million yuan business from flowers,” says Zhang.“After I went on TV,a major Asian manufacturer of cosmetics was willing to purchase my product and help with its distribution .It was only then that the locals began to believe me.Now my product is one of the best in Asia.This year,I can pay all my fellow workers a decent bonus .”
Seeing her peers who also dream of success and independence,Zhang has mixed feelings .
[3] Though she welcomes the new entrepreneurial spirit,she advises that people be realistic and seek guidance from expert consultants before rushing into things .
[3]本句为主从复合句。though引导让步状语从句;advises后的宾语从句用了虚拟语气。
  “I love running my own business,but it's not for everyone,” says Zhang.“To succeed in business,you need more than a good idea,hard work and determination.[4] What really matters is a sound business plan,access to capital , and good management and negotiating skills . Most of all,don't be too ambitious.You should know your own limits and those of the people you work with.For young people who have little life experience,that can be a challenge.”
[4]本句中what引导主语从句;整个句子为“主系表”结构。
创业之花
发言时,张悦把手藏在背后,以掩饰双手的颤抖。但她无法掩饰从额头淌下的一行汗水,这一部分是由于电视演播室里有些热,但更多的则是由于她害怕坐在她面前的四个人。他们面无表情地凝视着她,让人根本看不出他们接下来会说什么。张悦感到一阵眩晕,做了个深呼吸,然后努力完成她的陈述,“这就是为什么我需要你们的帮助,使这个全新的、激动人心的创业项目获得成功。”
张悦现在是自己公司的董事长,她总喜欢说:“早起的鸟儿有虫吃。”她创业的地点在一个山谷里,这是一个完全不同于任何电视演播室的世界。她小心地在黑暗中穿行,经过一排又一排的玫瑰植株。一小时后就会有许多人来到这里,趁着日出前的时间快速采摘玫瑰花。“必须在那个时候采。”张悦说,“这些花是很娇嫩的。”
张悦以前从未想过自己会做这一行。她从小到大,身边到处都是玫瑰,她很少注意到它们。直到她结束海外留学生活,回国看望父母时,才意识到这里的潜力。“这里的条件非常理想。”她说,“这里适合玫瑰自然生长。”
因此,张悦决定回到家乡,开始种植玫瑰,这让很多人感到惊讶。“我想体验自己当老板的自由。”她说,“同时我也想回报我的家乡。正如人们所说:‘养育一个孩子需要整个村庄的力量。’”
她并不是唯一一个被创业所吸引的年轻人。在世界各地,经济的不断增长创造了更多的机会,越来越多有事业心的年轻人开始考虑自己创业。像张悦一样,他们表达自己的想法,希望以此获得投资和建议。而且,他们也拥有同样的热情和为事业奉献的决心。他们中的大多数会遭到拒绝,但包括张悦在内的少数人会非常幸运地获得投资,并从更有经验的商界人士那里获得非常关键的投入和支持。不过他们的成功之路仍然漫长而艰难,一路上会遇到许多挑战。
作为一个在农村长大的人,张悦已经比较了解作物种植。不过,跟所有刚起步的企业家一样,她要学的还有很多。为了取得今天的成就,她精心打理生意,克服了许多障碍。“在初始阶段,最大的挑战就是说服人们来为我工作,这完全超出了我的经验范围。村里几乎没人相信我能从花卉生意中赚到几百万元。”张悦说,“我上了电视后,一家亚洲大型化妆品制造商表示愿意购买我的产品并且帮忙分销。直到那时本地人才开始相信我。现在我提供的是亚洲最好的产品之一。今年,我可以给我的同事们发一笔丰厚的奖金了。”
看到同龄人也梦想着成功和独立,张悦的心情很复杂。尽管她希望看到新的创业精神的涌现,但她也建议他们要现实一些,在仓促行事之前先寻求专业顾问的指导。
“我热爱经营自己的生意,但不是每个人都适合做这个。”张悦说,“要想在事业上取得成功,你需要的不仅仅是好的理念、勤奋和决心。真正重要的是一个合理的商业计划、获得资金的渠道,以及良好的管理和谈判技巧。最重要的是,不要野心太大。你得知道自己的极限,还有与你共事的人的极限。对于缺乏生活经验的年轻人来说,这可能是个挑战。”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
A house is the most expensive thing most people will buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage (抵押)”.The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty-five years.Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50,000.In other words,they will have a $50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage When you find a house you like,you go to a bank.The bank will research your financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have,what kind of salary you make,and how long you have had the job.They will also want to know how much money you have.In addition,the bank will require a down payment.Depending on which state you live in,the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们想要买房但钱不够时如何向银行抵押贷款。
1.What does a house mean in the United States
A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.
B.It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy it.
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy.
D.It doesn't belong to people if they can't borrow money from the bank.
C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A house is the most expensive thing most people will buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.”可知,房子是大多数人会买的最贵的东西。很少有人有足够的钱自己买房子,所以他们不得不向银行借钱。由此可推知,在美国房子是许多人试图购买的最重要的财产。故选C。]
2.What does the underlined phrase “down payment” refer to in the passage
A.Money borrowed from a bank as a mortgage.
B.Money paid to a bank before the mortgage is given.
C.Interest charged by a bank on a mortgage.
D.Interest received by a person who borrows money as the mortgage.
B [词义猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,“down payment”是取得贷款之前自己支付的那部分,即首付款,与B选项“抵押贷款发放前付给银行的钱”意思相近。故选B。]
3.Which is the best title for the passage
A.How to Save Money on the House
B.How to Borrow Money from a Bank
C.How to Take a Mortgage
D.How to Buy a House
C [标题归纳题。纵观全文,尤其根据第一段第三句“Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called ‘take a mortgage’.”可知,本文主要介绍了人们想要买房但钱不够时如何向银行抵押贷款。由此可知,C项“如何抵押贷款”概括了本文的核心内容,适合作标题。故选C。]
B
Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者),who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth,instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,“Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?” With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards,she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy's success grows,so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she's also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile,with her parents' help,Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life,she wasn't driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination,it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

Choosing the right career can be hard.Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what to do with their lives,and get a job without really thinking about it.For some,things work out fine. 1 .Your working life lasts an average of forty years,so it's important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about.Luckily,there are many ways you can get help to do this.
The Australian website,www.,compares choosing a career with going to the movies.Before you see a movie,you find out what films are showing. 2 —find out what jobs are available and what your options are.Next,decide which movie you like best; if you're not a romantic person,you won't want to see a love story.In other words,with your career,you should decide which job will suit your personality. 3 .Meanwhile,you should find out where the theater is before you go.With your career,you need to find information about where you can work,how much you will earn,and how to get a job in that profession.
So,how do you start Begin by asking yourself some questions. 4 :Have you travelled overseas Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree,such as a first aid license Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do.A person,for example,who is allergic to cats would probably never become a veterinarian.Flight attendants,firefighters,and police officers have to be over a certain height,and be physically fit. 5 .Are you outgoing and extroverted,or shy and introverted If you like working alone,a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you.
A.Your personality matters,too
B.Finally,decide how to get movie tickets
C.The site suggests you do the same with your career
D.Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought
E.Some jobs require you to have certain life experiences
F.But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate
G.When you know you can work in your dream job,you'll be glad

1.F [上文“For some,things work out fine.(对于一些人来说,事情进展得很顺利。)”与F项(但有些人常常发现自己被困在不喜欢的工作中)承接自然,上下文构成明显的转折关系,some和others是关键词,故选F。]

4.E [“Have you travelled overseas Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree,such as a first aid license?(你是否有旅外经历?你是否有任何除学位之外的其他证书,例如急救执照?)”与 E项(一些工作要求你有特定的生活经历)承接自然,下文提到的内容就是一些工作所要求的特定生活经历或技能,故选E。]
5.A [下文“Are you outgoing and extroverted,or shy and introverted If you like working alone,a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you.(你是外向活泼的,还是内向、不喜欢交往的?如果你喜欢独自工作,那么需要大量团队合作的工作可能不适合你。)”与A项(你的性格也很重要)承接自然,下文提到的outgoing,extroverted,shy 和introverted都是关于人的性格的词,故选A。 ]Section Ⅲ Developing ideas—Reading

What's mine is yours.
We've been told since we were toddlers that “It's good to share”.Parents and teachers keep reminding us to share toys,snacks,books,happy memories,and sometimes even sorrows① with others.When we grow up,we share photos,life stories and opinions with people around us and with those we don't know via social media.[1]Taking it as an object② of study,psychologists have published various papers③ stating④ that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to⑤ setting up⑥ positive emotional bonding.
[1] 本句为主从复合句。taking it as an object of study为动词-ing形式短语作状语;that引导宾语从句。
Today,the action of sharing takes on⑦ extra meaning.It's not just about sharing sweets or frustration⑧; it has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives—the whole world seems to be into sharing.We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services,or to make money out of those that we don't use ourselves all of the time.These vary from car shares to⑨ home shares,and even to pet shares.The sharing economy is taking off⑩ in all sorts of areas.It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
This wealth of ways of sharing is a response to our increasing demand for quality goods and services at competitive prices,[2]all delivered at the click of a button.[3]Whether it's an online shop where we can hire designer clothes at rock-bottom prices , or a platform from which we can rent out our flats for a couple of days , it's out there.Whether we're a lender or a borrower,it's a win-win situation; everyone makes or saves money.We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends.What's more,sharing encourages us to reuse items,thereby cutting down on waste.And set-ups such as bike and car sharing do a further favour for the environment by reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road.
[2]all delivered at the click of a button为独立主格结构。

  But the sharing economy is not without its problems.[4] As is often the case all over the world with new areas of economic activity,the sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision .Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to expand their share of the market,often at the expense of more traditional and established companies.In addition,the sharing economy is subject to abuse of trust.Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst renting out their homes,and others have found themselves victims of theft or attack while sharing rides.Finally,personal data,the heart of the sharing economy,is not yet secure .Sharing platforms collect personal information about almost every part of our lives,including our names,locations,bank information,and individual preferences for goods and services.Yet,the technology to prevent such information from leaking or being stolen still needs improvement,and the awareness of potential risks is low among both service providers and users.
[4]句中as为关系代词,引导非限制性定语从句,在句中作主语。
Nonetheless , what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly relevant to our daily lives as well as to the global economy.[5]It is expanding at such a rate that we can only imagine what it will comprise in the future. What will we be sharing next Who will be sharing and how And the most interesting question of all — what type of society will all this sharing take us to

我的就是你的。
我们还在蹒跚学步的时候就被教导“要懂得分享”。父母和老师不断地提醒我们要与他人分享玩具、零食、书籍以及快乐的回忆,有些时候甚至要分享自己的伤心事。我们长大后,会与周围的人或者是社交媒体上不认识的人分享照片、人生经历和观点。心理学家们将分享作为研究的对象,发表了各种各样的论文来说明分享行为有助于建立积极的情感纽带。
如今,分享行为又多了额外的含义。不仅仅是分享糖果或挫折,分享行为几乎已经扩大到生活的方方面面——整个世界似乎都在分享。我们正在利用科技来减少在商品和服务上的花费,或者用我们一直闲置的物品赚钱,从汽车共享到住房共享,甚至是宠物共享。共享经济正在各个领域红火起来,它创造着新的思维方式,随时随地为有需求的人们提供服务。
我们需要价格有竞争力的优质产品和服务,大量的共享方式是对这种不断增长的需求的回应,现在这些需求都可以通过一键单击来实现。无论是以最低价格出租名牌服装的网店,还是可以把自己的公寓短租几天的平台,都已出现。这对于出租者和租用者来说都是一个双赢的局面;人人都能挣钱,或都能省钱。我们可以建立联系,有时候甚至可以交到新朋友。不仅如此,共享方式鼓励我们将物品再次利用,从而减少浪费。共享单车、共享汽车等计划的实施会进一步保护环境,因为它们减少了行驶在路上的污染排放车辆的数量。
但共享经济并非没有问题。世界上新出现的经济领域通常都是如此,共享经济的发展速度过快,而现有法规和持续监管还未跟上。一些公司正在利用这种情况获取不公平的优势,来扩大市场份额,通常以牺牲已有的更为传统的公司为代价。此外,共享经济容易受到信任滥用的影响。有些人出租房屋时财物遭到破坏,还有人搭顺风车时成为盗窃甚至袭击的受害者。最后一点,个人数据,即共享经济的核心,也并不安全。共享平台收集的个人信息涵盖我们生活的方方面面,包括姓名、位置、银行信息、对商品和服务的个人偏好。然而,防止信息泄露或被盗的技术仍然有待改进,服务方和用户对潜在风险的防范意识也较低。
尽管如此,共享经济无疑正在与我们的日常生活以及全球经济产生越来越密切的联系。它飞速扩张,我们只能想象它将来会包含什么。我们下一个共享的对象是什么?将由谁来共享以及如何共享?最有趣的问题是——这些共享将会带我们进入什么样的社会?

As the President of Ariel Investments,I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time.My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W.Rogers.
While in college,I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments.As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom,I had very little knowledge of the business world.When I graduated,I decided to return to the company to improve myself.
At the age of 22,my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president,John W.Rogers.He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles,lots of degrees and lots of experience.And yet,my ideas could still be as good or even better,he said.This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career.When I was starting out,I thought my inexperience was holding me back,but John said that it was a good thing.He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.
As my tutor,John encouraged me to be brave.As my boss,he took some giant leaps of faith to support me.Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed,I never thought twice about speaking up,raising my hand or taking a seat at the table.Staying in the background was never a choice.But John's advice came with one important warning.I needed to control my attitude.It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude.Similarly,there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence.With that in mind,I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others.As someone once told me,“The goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time.”

9.Besides [考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示除了这些,还有数不清的小湖泊和河流使得苏州成为真正字面意义上的“水城”,故填Besides。]
10.to admire [考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此处作目的状语,故填to admire。]
