You also need other skills. Can you lead a team Are you a skillful driver Can you use technology There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even before passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that.

According to a survey, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,000 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.
The reasons for this change are the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach everyone around the world, without having to enter an acting career in the traditional way.
“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “These self-made stars record and show their hobbies to their fans. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people chatting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they don’t notice the fact that only those who are successful get fame and money. For every success, there are a hundred others who fail. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still stay dreams.
Among those vloggers, some have different opinions. Fame is not what they really want.They just make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. A Young man called David Leshaw, for example, has his own company called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He thinks his job helps him to show his passion, and at the same time, he learns a lot from it. That’s enough for him.
34．How many young people choose “vlogger” to be their dream job in the survey
A．40. B．140. C．1000. D．400.
35．What are the reasons for the change of young people’s dream jobs？
A．Their hobbies. B．The Hollywood studios.
C．The Internet and social media. D．Their fans.
36．Which is the Tesco Mobile spokesperson’s opinion？
A．To be a star is easier than before.
B．It’s unusual that vloggers are the big stars.
C．Hollywood stars are popular all over the world.
D．Vloggers don’t need fans.
37．What can we learn from this article？
A．What vloggers really want is to get money.
B．Most young people’s dreams are easy to come true.
C．Among all the vloggers, only some can be popular and rich.
D．Vloggers don’t like sharing hobbies.
【答案】34．D 35．C 36．A 37．C
【导语】本文主要讲述了因为互联网和社交媒体的发展，英国16至25岁年轻人的“理想工作”是视频博主，既可以工作，也可以娱乐。
34．细节理解题。根据“The survey, carried out among 1,000 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.”可知这项针对1000人进行的调查发现，多达40%的人将vlogger作为理想工作的首选，即400人。故选D。
35．细节理解题。根据“The reasons for this change are the Internet and social media”可知这种变化的原因是互联网和社交媒体。故选C。
36．推理判断题。根据“Now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star”可知现在，任何拥有电脑摄像头的人都可以成为明星，可推知成为明星比以前更容易了。故选A。
37．推理判断题。根据“they don’t notice the fact that only those who are successful get fame and money. For every success, there are a hundred others who fail. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still stay dreams.”可知只有那些成功的人才能获得名声和金钱，每一次成功，都有一百次失败，有些梦想成真了，有些梦想依然存在，可推知在所有的视频博主中，只有一些能够受欢迎和富有。故选C。

Tom is going to be an astronaut when he .
【答案】grows up
【详解】grow up“长大”，根据“Tom is going to be an astronaut when he”可知这是when引导的时间状语从句，从句使用一般现在时，主语是“he”，动词使用三单形式。故填grows up。
55．李博士做了一个多么生动的演讲啊！
speech Dr Lee gave!
【答案】 What a lively
【详解】根据标点符号可知，这是一个感叹句，感叹句句型为“What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语”或“How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语”，根据所给空格可知，此句应该用what开头的感叹句，speech是可数名词，前面应该用不定冠词a/an，lively是辅音音素开头的单词，不定冠词应该用a。故填What；a；lively。

Siene is a firefighter in the USA．It isn’t easy to become a firefighter there. Many people try, but a lot of them fail. Also, in the past firefighting was always a job for men. Now there are women firefighters.
When Siene was five years old, it was her dream to become a firefighter. Forty years later, she was the oldest woman to pass a six-week course at the WFPA (女子消防预备学院). The WFPA trains (训练) women in the skills they need to be firefighters. In fact, Siene now trains firefighters there herself.
Starting the course doesn’t mean you’ll become a firefighter. The course is very difficult, so not everyone finishes the training. They are trained like being in the army. Can you hold a heavy piece of woods for four minutes How many exercises can you do Can you lift a 12-meter ladder (梯子)
You also need other skills. Can you lead a team Are you a skillful driver Can you use technology There are so many more that are a part of firefighting these days. Of course, no one can do them all, but more skills certainly help.
However, you must wait for a chance to work as a firefighter even before passing your course. It seems that lots of women aren’t ready to do that. In one year, 50 women got trained, but only three of them are now firefighters. Learning the skills is not enough to become a firefighter. Like Siene, you also need to stick to your dream.

According to a survey, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,000 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.
The reasons for this change are the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach everyone around the world, without having to enter an acting career in the traditional way.
“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “These self-made stars record and show their hobbies to their fans. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people chatting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they don’t notice the fact that only those who are successful get fame and money. For every success, there are a hundred others who fail. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still stay dreams.
Among those vloggers, some have different opinions. Fame is not what they really want.They just make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. A Young man called David Leshaw, for example, has his own company called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He thinks his job helps him to show his passion, and at the same time, he learns a lot from it. That’s enough for him.
34．How many young people choose “vlogger” to be their dream job in the survey
A．40. B．140. C．1000. D．400.
35．What are the reasons for the change of young people’s dream jobs？
A．Their hobbies. B．The Hollywood studios.
C．The Internet and social media. D．Their fans.
36．Which is the Tesco Mobile spokesperson’s opinion？
A．To be a star is easier than before.
B．It’s unusual that vloggers are the big stars.
C．Hollywood stars are popular all over the world.
D．Vloggers don’t need fans.
37．What can we learn from this article？
A．What vloggers really want is to get money.
B．Most young people’s dreams are easy to come true.
C．Among all the vloggers, only some can be popular and rich.
D．Vloggers don’t like sharing hobbies.
