A
What would you do for the rest of your life if you suddenly lost the capacity for movement except the ability to blink your eyelids How would you realize the meaning and value of your life
In the Blink of an Eye
A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence:“I am alive,I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities …”
The words were conveyed by a flicker(跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995, he was the very successful chief editor of Elle.
Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular(心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma(昏迷), from which he emerged 20 days later in a hospital on the north-east coast of France. His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease“Locked-in Syndrome(闭锁综合征),” unable to breathe or eat without assistance.
It was hard to accept the transition from an“earthman in perfect working order” to what his friends termed“a vegetable.” In this inert(无活动能力的) body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. Mendibil pointed to them on a screen: one blink for“yes,” two blinks for“no.”
He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. When Mendibil arrived in the morning he could dictate them to her in a succession of blinks. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the“butterflies” of his mind flutter(振翅) about freely.
One would expect from this process a formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament (困境). The style is clear
期中学情调研 高二年级英语学科 第 5 页 (共12页)
and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor.
He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn't gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch(抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it.
“From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard,a friend of Bauby's and the book's publisher.
51. We can learn from the article that Jean-Dominique Bauby .
A. died of a rare cardiovascular condition
B. used to be a successful journalist and editor

B. It focuses on Bauby's memories from his time as an editor.
C. It describes Bauby's paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language.
D. It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome.

Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones, according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies, a job market analytics(数据分析) company in Boston.
It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What researchers discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big data gathering and analysis, or design using digital technology.
期中学情调研 高二年级英语学科 第 6 页 (共12页)
Burning Glass Technologies came up with the term“hybrid jobs” to describe these kinds of positions, which require skills not normally found together. For example, these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales. “The jobs of the future don't involve just one skill,” says Matt Sigelman,CEO of Burning Glass Technologies.
The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028, but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What's more, hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example,a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one, with an average yearly salary of $100,000. Moreover, an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for a software company can more than double her pay from $180,000 to $400,000.
While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of work, with only 12% possibility of being replaced by machines, compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass Technologies. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles, so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and, most importantly, more training after leaving college. That means workers, bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for hybrid jobs.
56. Why did the company research into job advertisements
A. To understand the growth of best paid workers.
B. To compare workers' experience with new abilities.
C. To find out companies' requirements about skills.
D. To tell the possible changes in the future job market.
57. What does the term"hybrid jobs"imply about the nature of the positions
A. They are jobs only available in the technology department.
B. They require a mix of technical and innovative skills.
C. They are part-time positions combining different roles.
D. They are positions that are especially creative.
58. What is the purpose of the example given in Paragraph 4
A. To illustrate the high salary potential of traditional jobs.
B. To explain why traditional jobs are becoming outdated.
C. To provide evidence of the financial benefits of hybrid jobs.
D. To demonstrate the growth rate of hybrid jobs over traditional ones.
59. Which of the following could be the best title for this passage
A. How to Get Suitable Jobs
B. The Skills for“Hybrid” Jobs
C. Future Jobs Require“Hybrid” Skills
D. Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs
期中学情调研 高二年级英语学科 第 7 页 (共12页)
60. What can be the source of the report based on the passage
A. A piece of creative writing about fictional job roles.
B. A personal account from a CEO about job trends.
C. An editorial piece about the future of work.
D. A professional research into the job market.
C
Some teens disagree with compulsory BMI ( body mass index) checks in PE classes. Do BMI checks at school do more harm than good Two teens take different sides.
Maya Meade, a high school freshman in Ohio, says yes. “I understand that schools want to weigh students because they are concerned about their physical health. That's not a bad thing! But what about their mental health For many students, appearances and self-images are huge sources of stress. Forcing teens to be weighed at school will only increase the stress they feel to fit a certain mold (类型),” says Maya.
In Maya's opinion, weight is a personal matter that should stay between a doctor and a patient. She says, “Just imagine someone who struggles with the body image being told that his or her BMI is too high as classmates look on! Even if other kids can't hear, no student wants to feel judged by his or her teacher. That's not why we go to school.”
Maya thinks that if a school wants to have an impact on a student's physical health, there are better ways to do it, such as providing healthy and filling meals, encouraging physical activities and teaching students about nutrition(营养).
Ben Bagbek, a second-year student in a high school in New York, holds a different opinion. “There is no reason why a school should not be allowed to weigh its students and teach them how to work out BMI! Obesity (肥胖) is a huge public health concern in our country. And schools are in a position to help students understand what their weight means to their health— before they' re at risk of life-threatening conditions.”
“A school's job is to help students realize their full potential, and your health undoubtedly plays a role in your academic performance. BMI is not a perfect measurement, but it can help you identify the need for healthier eating habits or more physical activities,” says Ben.
The bottom line is: When you feel good, you learn better. As long as the actual number on the scale stays private, it should be viewed as an important part of your health education.
61. What are the two teens debating
A. Whether students enjoy PE classes.
B. Whether schools should check students’BMI.
C. Whether students should pay attention to weight.
D. Whether schools should help students lose weight.
62. According to Maya, what will BMI checks bring to students
期中学情调研 高二年级英语学科 第 8 页 (共12页)
A. Emotional stress. B. Healthy diets.
C. Fierce competition. D. Positive self-awareness.
63. What does the phrase“fit a certain mold” imply in Maya's statement
A. To wear a specific type of uniform.
B. To meet a standard of body image.
C. To perform a certain physical activity.
D. To achieve a certain academic standard.
64. Which of the following statement may Ben agree with
A. Most school students are overweight.
B. BMI checks are of little help to students.
C. Schools have the right to weigh students.
D. It's not schools' duty to help students keep fit.
65. What is the purpose of presenting the two teens' opinions in the passage
A. To discuss the impact of obesity on academic performance.
B. To provide a comprehensive overview of BMI checks in schools.
C. To argue for the cancellation of physical education classes in schools.
D. To present a balanced view on the effectiveness of BMI checks in schools.

Jenifer, who is 10 years old, has been training in the athletic centre since 2014. She enjoys taking part in the 800 meters, 1,500 meters and cross-country racing events. Early in 2016, Jenifer competed in the state championships in all of these three events and qualified for the national competitions.
Jennifer is enthusiastic about her experience in the national competitions. She said that the most exciting thing for her was meeting other athletes from around Australia, including a new friend named Jessica. According to Jennifer, when she participated at state level, the bar was raised. “The national competitions are really hard; it's harder to win,” she says.
Project worker Lisa notes that competing has had a positive impact on the young athlete. “Jennifer’ s participation in national competitions has enriched her life educationally, culturally and socially,” she says.
Jennifer's mother is her inspiration. Jennifer is very grateful to her mother for the sacrifices she has made to enable Jennifer to train. In order to motivate her and accompany her to the weekly training session, Jennifer's mother has to regularly give up work opportunities. Her mother, along with the rest of the family, is doing what they can to raise the funds required for regular travel and registration fees. This is a common struggle for some families pursuing success for their children.
Jennifer aspires(渴望) to follow in the footsteps of her father, an accomplished runner and the first person in the family to compete in the Stawell Gift. When she is talking about running, she beams with satisfaction and happiness. When asked what her favorite thing about running is, she wastes no time in saying“winning”. Considering the hard work going on behind the scenes to help Jennifer follow her love of running, the athlete's simple motto— never give up—— is somewhat important.

91. Growing up along with Olympic Champions
Many teenage champions have stood out in the Paris Olympics. Athletes like Zheng Qinwen and Pan Zhanyue, have showcased dedication and sportsmanship in exceptional performance and brought honor to our country. We can all learn from their qualities.
Firstly, their pursuit of dreams is what we can learn . They have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and work tirelessly towards it. Secondly, they give their all, leaving no stone unturned in their preparation and events. Lastly, they represent the spirit of never giving up, no matter how tough the journey gets.
To be a champion in our studies or daily life, we should also set clear goals and work diligently towards them. We must be determined, persistent, and not be afraid to face challenges. Just like these athletes, we should practice self-discipline, maintain a positive attitude, and learn from our failures. For instance, when faced with a difficult problem, we should not give up easily but instead, try different approaches and seek help when needed.
In conclusion, by following their example and continuous efforts, we can achieve excellence in our own lives and make our dreams a reality.
