第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It's not easy to find a job. Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of that, you need to juggle(尽力同时应付) schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some good jobs for you to start gaining work experience.
Tutor
A straight-A student Then a job as a tutor might be the best option for you. Helping younger students with their homework is a great way to put what you've studied to good use and make some extra money. One of the easiest ways to show that you're qualified to teach other students is by showing your GPA(grade point average) on your tutor résumé.
Dog Walker
Love dogs Then a position as a dog walker is perfectly fit for you. Dog walking requires no work experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or attend an interview before people trust you with their pets.
Delivery Driver
If you're 16+ years old and have a driver's license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you're responsible and work well under pressure.
Call Center Representative
If you don't mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your profile.
21.Who is the passage intended for
A.Parents. B.Teachers.
C.Students. D.Employees.
22.What qualifies you for the job as a tutor
A.Relevant experience. B.Good handwriting.
C.A flexible time schedule. D.Impressive academic performance.
23.Which job requires good social skills
A.Tutor.
B.Dog walker.
C.Delivery driver.
D.Call center representative.
B
Do you love fossils and dinosaurs I'm lucky enough to be a fossil preparator(化石制备师), which means I work with fossils, like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they're not broken. Sometimes, we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into position.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets”—these are things that store the fossils—we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils, which can be in different shapes and need different artistic expression forms.
Since I was a kid, it's been my dream to be a paleontologist(古生物学者). When I was 12, I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end, I asked, “Hey, can I volunteer ” And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old, I got to go to a fossil excavation(挖掘地), and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old. We don't always get all the pieces. We're working with something that's incomplete, sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don't know, we don't try to make anything up. But sometimes, we have a gap in a specimen(标本) and it needs support. We'll put some material that's clearly not the fossil in the gap, so when people go to study it, they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I found other kids, especially girls, who shared my interest when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl. My friends were interested in other things, but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.
24.Why does the author like her job
A.It is not a demanding job.
B.It combines both art and science.
C.It is more artistic than scientific.
D.It is about collecting dinosaur bones.
25.Why does the author mention her visit to the museum
A.To show her path to following her dream.
B.To prove her parents' support for her job.
C.To present the barrier to achieving her dream.
D.To tell her easy access to achieving her dream.
26.How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils
A.By burying them back in the ground.
B.By breaking and reconstructing them.
C.By fixing them up with similar material.
D.By filling their gaps with distinct material.
27.What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up
A.Cautious. B.Understanding.
C.Independent. D.Entertaining.
C
Most people have probably run into this problem. When you're traveling, you want to take a photo to capture a moment, but you're alone or your friend is a poor photographer. Now with the help of social media platforms, a “travel-along photographer” can take this worry off your list.
A travel-along photographer is like a travel companion who takes photos for you for an hour or two while accompanying you to the destination of your choice. Due to this year's travel boom and social media, such photographers have grown in popularity.
“With social media platforms, every photographer can advertise themselves and be seen,” said Shi Xinqi, a 22-year-old part-time photographer from Xiamen, Fujian province. In the past month, Shi has photographed over 30 clients. Rui Changchang, 27, agrees. Social media platforms help him be seen and find what he has been looking for over the years.
Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities, but he didn't feel the fundamental joy that he thought photography should create. From the lighting and clothing to the professional models, everything was from the assembly line. Now, he's a full-time photographer who spends most of his time at Universal Studios in Beijing. “It's very fascinating to help complete strangers become comfortable in front of the camera and capture a joyful moment for them.” Rui believes that capturing connections between people is what makes photos so touching.
But this is not a one-way service. When photographers capture these moments for their customers, they also learn something about themselves. “Most of my customers are women. I often describe them as the ‘beauty and power of women’,” said Shi, relating one experience with a customer in her 30s. Shi asked her if she had any regrets in her life—to which she replied that she had none. “That woman was so confident and determined. She helped relieve my anxiety about aging,” said Shi.
However, this booming industry also has a dark side. For travel-along photographers, there are no industry standards or measures to ensure the rights of all parties. Even though the photographers are from the same city, their pricing is dramatically different.
28.What does a travel-along photographer mainly do
A.Run social media platforms.
B.Take worries off a traveler's list.
C.Take pictures for a traveler along the way.
D.Accompany a traveler to the destination.
29.How is paragraph 4 developed
A.By drawing conclusions.
B.By giving a definition.
C.By listing examples.
D.By making a contrast.
30.What does paragraph 5 intend to tell us
A.The services offered by the photographers.
B.The benefits enjoyed by the photographers.
C.The moments captured by cameras.
D.The communication promoted by customers.
31.What is the author's attitude towards the industry
A.Favorable. B.Objective.
C.Indifferent. D.Negative.
D
Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might imagine that this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates, and to a certain extent it is. But companies themselves tend to bend the truth out of shape in ways that are self-defeating.
Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants. When it comes to writing the résumé(简历), they tend to massage(美化)reality into the most appealing possible shape. Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating an income of millions of dollars; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens.
But the tendency to stretch the truth affects companies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the “ideal candidate”, someone who almost by definition does not exist. Sometimes, the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.
Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company's corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in a text or video what a typical day of the role would look like.
Such honesty can be its own reward. Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to a lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction. A paper in 2011 by David Eamest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organization's honesty are the best explanation for it. So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves.
32.Why are a “leader” and an “enthusiast” mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To present a rule. B.To clarify a fact.
C.To make a comparison. D.To explain a phenomenon.
33.What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Overstate. B.Overturn.
C.Overlook. D.Overestimate.
34.What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph 4
A.They show a position as it is.
B.They are made either in a text or in a video.
C.They are favourable for bigger firms.
D.They mainly contain negatives of a job.
35.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Pains and gains of employees and employers.
B.Getting the lying out of hiring.
C.Getting more appealing in hiring.
D.A wrestle between applicants and companies.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
36 . If you like writing or making crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like(like playing video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or a passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and that doesn't sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer Or maybe that's out of your educational reach, so you choose the office or retail worker.
37 , but often they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like just doing something because it's there—not very inspiring.
However, there's another way that is perhaps better: 38 . For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into the government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in, or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 39 , and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn't how you serve the world, but that just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. 40 .
A.These are all great choices
B.Think about what you like to do
C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people

During my senior year of high school, my father died after a long 44 with the disease. His death forced me into 45 at an early age.

It wasn't easy for me. 48 , I developed a strong work ethic(职业道德规范) that continues to serve me to this day.
After graduation, I set my 49 on Wall Street and accepted a(n) 50 as a financial analyst for a large investment bank in New York City. Years later, I awoke to the fact that I really wanted to do something that made a 51 difference in an under-served community. So, I 52 and then joined Teach for America as CFO(Chief Financial Officer). I will be forever 53 for that life-changing opportunity to help others. It was an important 54 :I learned that 55 happiness often has little to do with financial gains and more to do with finding your passion in your job.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Amy loved drawing, but her grandmother Bonnie was opposed to it, who thought those strange things Amy drew were not going to help her in the future. One day, when they were eating dinner at the table, the doorbell rang.
Amy answered the door to see a well-dressed man standing at the door. “Oh my God, I know you! Mr Henderson ” Amy said gladly. “You are my favorite cartoonist(漫画家)! Wow! Hello, sir!” Then she led Mr Henderson into her house.
Mr Henderson was a famous New York-based cartoonist. He worked for an art magazine.
“I received a letter with some samples of your artwork, Amy. And I must say I was so impressed by your talent. In fact, I wrote you letters, but I never got a reply,” Mr Henderson said to Amy. “If I didn't visit you today, you might miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“You sent me letters ” Amy asked in wonder. Amy noticed Bonnie sat uneasily in her seat, and she realized why the letters had never reached her. Her grandmother kept them hidden from her. Mr Henderson continued, “We are accepting applications for our arts training program this summer. I will personally teach the students the art of cartoons and everything related. For that, you need to pass a drawing test. If everything goes well, you will be able to learn from me later and pursue your dream of art.”
Amy was excited about the news, but Bonnie refused and said angrily, “You are wasting our time, sir. Please leave.”
“But ma'am, this can really shape your granddaughter's career,” Mr Henderson said. “And if you're concerned about the money, please don't be. The committee will cover all the costs. Gifted Amy can greatly benefit from the program.” Then Mr Henderson pulled out a file from his document case and gave it to Amy. “It's a test assignment. I know your grandmother is against it and that things are tough, but I hope you'll be able to do it,” he added as he left the house.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's visit.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie.

第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
◎语篇解读 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几种学生可以从事的工作。
21.C 推理判断题。根据第一段的“schoolwork, extracurricular activities”,第二段的“A straight-A student ”以及第四段的“If you're 16+years old”可推断,这篇文章针对的是学生。故选C项。
22.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句可知,最简单的表明你有资格教其他学生的一个方法就是在你的导师简历上展示你的各科成绩的平均积分点。D项“令人赞叹的学术表现”与“GPA”属于同一范畴的表达,都是与学业情况有关的。故选D项。
23.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的最后一句可知,如果你想在电话服务中心找到工作,就要在简历上突出你的客户服务能力和人际交往能力,而客户服务能力和人际交往能力属于社交技巧,由此可知需要良好社交技巧的工作是电话服务中心代表。故选D项。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者以第一人称讲述了自己作为一名化石制备师的成长经历和职业内容,包括从小对古生物学的热爱、参加相关活动的经历以及在工作中处理化石的过程等。
24.B 推理判断题。第二段首句中的“like the job”与题干中的“like her job”为相同的内容,所以定位到第二段。根据该段内容可知,必须准确而科学地弄清楚如何为特定的骨头或化石制作储存装备,它们可以是不同的形状并需要不同的艺术表达形式。由此可推知,作者之所以喜欢她的工作,是因为它结合了艺术和科学。故选B。
25.A 推理判断题。第三段首句提到,作者从小就梦想成为一名古生物学者,下文讲述了她12岁那年关于梦想的经历。故推知,文中提到她参观博物馆是为了展示她追寻梦想的道路。故选A。
26.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后两句可知,在处理不完整的化石时,作者用不同的材料填补空隙,以起到提醒人们的作用。故选D。
27.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl.”可知,作者是自己的朋友圈里唯一喜欢恐龙的女孩,但是她却坚持自己的梦想,成了一名化石制备师。故推知,她是有主见的。故选C。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在社交媒体平台的助力下,随行摄影师的出现及其利弊。
28.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,随行摄影师的主要工作是在沿途给旅行者拍照。故选C。
29.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities...Now, he's a full-time photographer who spends most of his time...”可推知,第四段主要对比了Rui过去和现在从事的摄影的不同,即通过对比展开。故选D。
30.B 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“But this is not a one-way service.” “She helped relieve my anxiety about aging”等信息可推知,第五段作者想告诉人们摄影师享受的好处。故选B。
31.B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,现在,在社交媒体平台的帮助下,一名“随行摄影师”可以帮你消除这种担忧;最后一段中提到的“also has a dark side”“no industry standards or measures”“their pricing is dramatically different”揭示了这个行业黑暗的一面,所以作者对这个行业的态度是客观的。故选B。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了招聘过程中求职者和公司都倾向于夸大事实,很少有公司提供真实的职位预览,但研究表明诚实会有回报,真实的职位预览会降低离职率,提高员工满意度。
32.D 推理判断题。第二段讲到,每个超过一定经验水平的人都是转型领导者,个人负责创造数百万美元的收入;如果所有这些说法都是真的,那么世界经济规模将是实际规模的十五倍左右。英国人平均每天花四个半小时看电视和在线视频。但每个普通的求职者都是公益爱好者,他们只把业余时间用于有价值的目的,比如在施食处做志愿者。第三段开头提到“the tendency to stretch the truth”,由此可推知,本段提到“领导者”和“爱好者”是为了解释求职者在写简历时夸大能力的现象。故选D。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知,典型的公司会在职位描述中将工作环境描述为快节奏和创新,然后为“理想候选人”列出一系列不太可能的要求,从定义上讲,这种人几乎是不存在的。所以不仅仅是求职者,公司在选择应聘者时也会提出过高要求,所以夸大事实影响了应聘者和公司双方。故推知,画线词表示“夸大”,与overstate意思相近。故选A。overturn推翻;overlook忽略;overestimate高估。
34.A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job”可知,公司应该如实告诉求职者工作的利弊。故选A。
35.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容可知,招聘过程可以被看作是诚信与不诚实之间的一场战斗。你可能会认为这是寻求真相的公司和自我推销的候选人之间的一场简单的斗争,在某种程度上确实如此。但企业本身往往会以弄巧成拙的方式扭曲现实,第二段描述求职者的误区,第三、四段描述公司的夸大其词及应该如何去做,第五段表明诚实招聘是有回报的。由此可知,本文说明了在求职和招聘中,最重要的就是诚实。故推知,B选项“让招聘不再说谎”与本文主旨相符。故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何选择对自己有意义的职业。
36.B 上文(当你考虑择业时,你通常会用以下两种方法来选择)说明接下来将会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文(如果你喜欢写作或做手工艺品,你可以考虑这些事情)说明可以把自己喜欢做的事当成职业。B项(想想你喜欢做什么)能够概括本段的内容。故选B。
37.A 上文介绍了一些可以选择的职业。下文(但它们往往不是你真正热爱的事情)表示转折,A项(这些都是很好的选择)承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。故选A。
38.E 上文(然而,还有另一种可能更好的方法)说明接下来要讲另一种选择职业的办法。下文列举了一些有意义的服务他人的职业。E项(设法做一些事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
39.D 下文说如果你为了那种重要意义而选择其中一个职业,你在工作中会感觉每天都有意义。D项(这其中的每一种都只是众多充满意义的可能性中的一种)中的purpose和下文中的that purpose相呼应。故选D。
40.G 上文指出重点不是你如何为这个世界服务,而是以某种方式为这个世界服务会帮你感到充满意义。G项(如果你选择了一份有意义且有趣的工作,你总是比大多数人走得更远)承接上文,符合语境,也和文章主题如何选择充满意义的职业相呼应。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者毕业后找到了不错的工作,但后来作者想帮助那些需要帮助的人,于是辞去了金融分析师的工作。
41.B 根据上文的“African-American neighborhood”和“I was one of the few black students in my class.”可知,作者是一位非裔美国人,再结合空后的“even ‘too white’”和语境可知,此处表示作者被同学们取笑(teased)。A.责怪;C.推动;D.对待,招待。
42.C 根据上文可知,作者经常被取笑,再联系空前的“I knew if I wanted to do extremely well”和空后的“my fears of exploring a strange neighborhood”可知,此处表示作者知道如果自己想做得非常好,就要克服(overcome)恐惧。A.忽略;B.理解;D.确认。
43.D 由于处在一个陌生的环境中,作者常常觉得格格不入(out of place)。A.失去控制;B.失去耐心;C.失去平衡。
44.B 根据空前的“my father died”和空后的“disease”可以推断出,父亲与病魔作了长期的斗争(battle)。A.飞行;C.分离;D.过程。
45.C 根据下文的“I also delivered newspapers, tutored, worked at the mall...at IBM”可知,父亲去世这件事迫使作者早早就独立(independence)了。A.孤独;B.损失;D.难堪。
46.A 根据语境可知,此处表示作者很幸运地获得了大学的全额奖学金。receive表示“接到,收到”,指接收某物的客观事实,这里指“收到奖学金”。accept表示“接受(建议、邀请等)”,强调主观上自愿接受,不符合语境。
47.A 根据语境可知,作者最后(eventually)在IBM实习。B.特别地;C.自然地;D.严重地。
48.B 根据空前的“It wasn't easy for me.”和空后的“I developed a strong work ethic”可推断出,设空处前后文之间应是转折关系。Still在此处是熟词生义的用法,表示“不过”,相当于However。
49.D 根据下文可知,作者在一个投资银行找到了工作,故此处表示毕业后,作者以华尔街为奋斗目标。set one's sights on...意为“以……为奋斗目标”。
50.D 根据下文的“as a financial analyst for a large investment bank”可知,这里指作者接受了金融分析师的职位(position)。
51.D 根据下文的“in an under-served community”和“to help others”可知,作者想为政府扶持力度不够的社区做一些产生积极的(positive)影响的事情。A.临时的;B.复杂的;C.灵活的。

第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。影响“工作满意度”的因素除了薪水之外还有许多,就业者对工作的要求因人而异。
56.what 考查主语从句。句意:然而,大多数人想要的不仅仅是好的薪水。设空处无提示词,根据后面的系动词are可知设空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少动词want的宾语,且根据“more than just a good salary”可知,此处指“……的东西”,所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
57.are 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处描述一般情况,所以应用一般现在时。主语things为复数,所以be动词应用are。故填are。
58.a 考查冠词。make a difference意为“有影响,有关系”,为固定搭配。
59.creative 考查形容词。修饰名词environment应用形容词作定语,creative表示“创造性的”。故填creative。
60.planning 考查现在分词。当when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句的主语相同且从句中含be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。根据“you should consider all the activities”可知,此处指“你在规划你的职业生涯时”,省略了“you are”,所以应用现在分词planning。故填planning。
61.involved 考查过去分词。主句中已有谓语should consider和decide,所以这里应用非谓语动词。involve意为“包含”,与其逻辑主语activities之间构成被动关系,所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填involved。
62.actually 考查副词。句意:例如,如果你正在考虑成为一名记者,你的确喜欢与公众成员见面吗 根据句意可知应用副词actually作状语,表示“的确”。
63.of/about 考查介词。think of/about意为“考虑”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用介词of或about。
64.numbers 考查名词复数。根据常识可知,会计主要是跟数字打交道,而数字不止一个,所以这里用复数形式。
65.better 考查比较级。句意:仅仅因为一份工作的薪水比另一份高,并不意味着它是适合你的工作。根据“than another”可知,此处应用well的比较级better。故填better。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me about my career plan.
First of all, thank you for your concern. My dream career is to be a doctor. I have had this ambition since I was a child. And during the epidemic period, I saw those medical workers leave their families behind to go to the front line of rescuing the dying at the risk of sacrificing personal safety, which inspired my determination to become a doctor.
In order to realize this dream, I must study hard and be admitted to an ideal medical university with excellent grades.
Yours
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's visit. She carefully examined the test assignment he had given her. The challenge seemed difficult, but Amy was determined to prove herself. She spent hours each day practicing her drawing skills. As days turned into weeks, Amy's progress was remarkable. She submitted her completed work to Mr Henderson, who was genuinely impressed by her improvement. He believed that Amy had the ability to excel in the arts training program and even start a successful career in the field of art.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie. She began to notice the efforts and passion Amy put into her work. She realized that Amy had a talent for drawing, and that perhaps her art dream was worth pursuing. Over time, Bonnie started to support Amy. She understood that this opportunity could be life-changing for her granddaughter. With Bonnie's support, Amy devoted herself to the arts training program and learned a lot from Mr Henderson. Sometimes, dreams could become a reality with the right opportunity and strong support.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It's not easy to find a job. Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of that, you need to juggle(尽力同时应付) schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some good jobs for you to start gaining work experience.
Tutor
A straight-A student Then a job as a tutor might be the best option for you. Helping younger students with their homework is a great way to put what you've studied to good use and make some extra money. One of the easiest ways to show that you're qualified to teach other students is by showing your GPA(grade point average) on your tutor résumé.
Dog Walker
Love dogs Then a position as a dog walker is perfectly fit for you. Dog walking requires no work experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or attend an interview before people trust you with their pets.
Delivery Driver
If you're 16+ years old and have a driver's license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you're responsible and work well under pressure.
Call Center Representative
If you don't mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your profile.
21.Who is the passage intended for
A.Parents. B.Teachers.
C.Students. D.Employees.
22.What qualifies you for the job as a tutor
A.Relevant experience. B.Good handwriting.
C.A flexible time schedule. D.Impressive academic performance.
23.Which job requires good social skills
A.Tutor.
B.Dog walker.
C.Delivery driver.
D.Call center representative.
B
Do you love fossils and dinosaurs I'm lucky enough to be a fossil preparator(化石制备师), which means I work with fossils, like removing rocks from fossils and gluing fossils together to make sure they're not broken. Sometimes, we have dinosaur bones that need to be arranged and put back into position.
I like the job from the bottom of my heart. When we make “jackets”—these are things that store the fossils—we have to accurately and scientifically figure out how to make them for specific bones or fossils, which can be in different shapes and need different artistic expression forms.
Since I was a kid, it's been my dream to be a paleontologist(古生物学者). When I was 12, I went to this kind of event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science called Dinosaur Day. I got a chance to meet paleontologists. At the end, I asked, “Hey, can I volunteer ” And somehow, they let me, as long as a parent came with me. At 12 years old, I got to go to a fossil excavation(挖掘地), and I got to work with dinosaur bones and fossils in the lab for the first time.
Fossils are very old. We don't always get all the pieces. We're working with something that's incomplete, sometimes. We do our best to fit the pieces we know back together. And as for the pieces we don't know, we don't try to make anything up. But sometimes, we have a gap in a specimen(标本) and it needs support. We'll put some material that's clearly not the fossil in the gap, so when people go to study it, they know not to study that part.
People would wonder how I found other kids, especially girls, who shared my interest when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl. My friends were interested in other things, but they were all super supportive of my love for fossils.
24.Why does the author like her job
A.It is not a demanding job.
B.It combines both art and science.
C.It is more artistic than scientific.
D.It is about collecting dinosaur bones.
25.Why does the author mention her visit to the museum
A.To show her path to following her dream.
B.To prove her parents' support for her job.
C.To present the barrier to achieving her dream.
D.To tell her easy access to achieving her dream.
26.How does the author deal with the incomplete fossils
A.By burying them back in the ground.
B.By breaking and reconstructing them.
C.By fixing them up with similar material.
D.By filling their gaps with distinct material.
27.What kind of girl was the author when she was growing up
A.Cautious. B.Understanding.
C.Independent. D.Entertaining.
C
Most people have probably run into this problem. When you're traveling, you want to take a photo to capture a moment, but you're alone or your friend is a poor photographer. Now with the help of social media platforms, a “travel-along photographer” can take this worry off your list.
A travel-along photographer is like a travel companion who takes photos for you for an hour or two while accompanying you to the destination of your choice. Due to this year's travel boom and social media, such photographers have grown in popularity.
“With social media platforms, every photographer can advertise themselves and be seen,” said Shi Xinqi, a 22-year-old part-time photographer from Xiamen, Fujian province. In the past month, Shi has photographed over 30 clients. Rui Changchang, 27, agrees. Social media platforms help him be seen and find what he has been looking for over the years.
Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities, but he didn't feel the fundamental joy that he thought photography should create. From the lighting and clothing to the professional models, everything was from the assembly line. Now, he's a full-time photographer who spends most of his time at Universal Studios in Beijing. “It's very fascinating to help complete strangers become comfortable in front of the camera and capture a joyful moment for them.” Rui believes that capturing connections between people is what makes photos so touching.
But this is not a one-way service. When photographers capture these moments for their customers, they also learn something about themselves. “Most of my customers are women. I often describe them as the ‘beauty and power of women’,” said Shi, relating one experience with a customer in her 30s. Shi asked her if she had any regrets in her life—to which she replied that she had none. “That woman was so confident and determined. She helped relieve my anxiety about aging,” said Shi.
However, this booming industry also has a dark side. For travel-along photographers, there are no industry standards or measures to ensure the rights of all parties. Even though the photographers are from the same city, their pricing is dramatically different.
28.What does a travel-along photographer mainly do
A.Run social media platforms.
B.Take worries off a traveler's list.
C.Take pictures for a traveler along the way.
D.Accompany a traveler to the destination.
29.How is paragraph 4 developed
A.By drawing conclusions.
B.By giving a definition.
C.By listing examples.
D.By making a contrast.
30.What does paragraph 5 intend to tell us
A.The services offered by the photographers.
B.The benefits enjoyed by the photographers.
C.The moments captured by cameras.
D.The communication promoted by customers.
31.What is the author's attitude towards the industry
A.Favorable. B.Objective.
C.Indifferent. D.Negative.
D
Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might imagine that this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates, and to a certain extent it is. But companies themselves tend to bend the truth out of shape in ways that are self-defeating.
Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants. When it comes to writing the résumé(简历), they tend to massage(美化)reality into the most appealing possible shape. Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating an income of millions of dollars; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens.
But the tendency to stretch the truth affects companies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the “ideal candidate”, someone who almost by definition does not exist. Sometimes, the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.
Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company's corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in a text or video what a typical day of the role would look like.
Such honesty can be its own reward. Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to a lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction. A paper in 2011 by David Eamest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organization's honesty are the best explanation for it. So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves.
32.Why are a “leader” and an “enthusiast” mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To present a rule. B.To clarify a fact.
C.To make a comparison. D.To explain a phenomenon.
33.What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Overstate. B.Overturn.
C.Overlook. D.Overestimate.
34.What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph 4
A.They show a position as it is.
B.They are made either in a text or in a video.
C.They are favourable for bigger firms.
D.They mainly contain negatives of a job.
35.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Pains and gains of employees and employers.
B.Getting the lying out of hiring.
C.Getting more appealing in hiring.
D.A wrestle between applicants and companies.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
36 . If you like writing or making crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like(like playing video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or a passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and that doesn't sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer Or maybe that's out of your educational reach, so you choose the office or retail worker.
37 , but often they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like just doing something because it's there—not very inspiring.
However, there's another way that is perhaps better: 38 . For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into the government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in, or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 39 , and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn't how you serve the world, but that just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. 40 .
A.These are all great choices
B.Think about what you like to do
C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people

I grew up in North Little Rock, Arkansas in a working-class, African-American neighborhood. I went to middle school in an unfamiliar neighborhood. I was one of the few black students in my class.

Despite often feeling 43 , I made use of the educational opportunities and aimed for excellence.
During my senior year of high school, my father died after a long 44 with the disease. His death forced me into 45 at an early age.

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。
Amy loved drawing, but her grandmother Bonnie was opposed to it, who thought those strange things Amy drew were not going to help her in the future. One day, when they were eating dinner at the table, the doorbell rang.
Amy answered the door to see a well-dressed man standing at the door. “Oh my God, I know you! Mr Henderson ” Amy said gladly. “You are my favorite cartoonist(漫画家)! Wow! Hello, sir!” Then she led Mr Henderson into her house.
Mr Henderson was a famous New York-based cartoonist. He worked for an art magazine.
“I received a letter with some samples of your artwork, Amy. And I must say I was so impressed by your talent. In fact, I wrote you letters, but I never got a reply,” Mr Henderson said to Amy. “If I didn't visit you today, you might miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“You sent me letters ” Amy asked in wonder. Amy noticed Bonnie sat uneasily in her seat, and she realized why the letters had never reached her. Her grandmother kept them hidden from her. Mr Henderson continued, “We are accepting applications for our arts training program this summer. I will personally teach the students the art of cartoons and everything related. For that, you need to pass a drawing test. If everything goes well, you will be able to learn from me later and pursue your dream of art.”
Amy was excited about the news, but Bonnie refused and said angrily, “You are wasting our time, sir. Please leave.”
“But ma'am, this can really shape your granddaughter's career,” Mr Henderson said. “And if you're concerned about the money, please don't be. The committee will cover all the costs. Gifted Amy can greatly benefit from the program.” Then Mr Henderson pulled out a file from his document case and gave it to Amy. “It's a test assignment.

第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
◎语篇解读 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几种学生可以从事的工作。
21.C 推理判断题。根据第一段的“schoolwork, extracurricular activities”,第二段的“A straight-A student ”以及第四段的“If you're 16+years old”可推断,这篇文章针对的是学生。故选C项。
22.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句可知,最简单的表明你有资格教其他学生的一个方法就是在你的导师简历上展示你的各科成绩的平均积分点。D项“令人赞叹的学术表现”与“GPA”属于同一范畴的表达,都是与学业情况有关的。故选D项。
23.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的最后一句可知,如果你想在电话服务中心找到工作,就要在简历上突出你的客户服务能力和人际交往能力,而客户服务能力和人际交往能力属于社交技巧,由此可知需要良好社交技巧的工作是电话服务中心代表。故选D项。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者以第一人称讲述了自己作为一名化石制备师的成长经历和职业内容,包括从小对古生物学的热爱、参加相关活动的经历以及在工作中处理化石的过程等。
24.B 推理判断题。第二段首句中的“like the job”与题干中的“like her job”为相同的内容,所以定位到第二段。根据该段内容可知,必须准确而科学地弄清楚如何为特定的骨头或化石制作储存装备,它们可以是不同的形状并需要不同的艺术表达形式。由此可推知,作者之所以喜欢她的工作,是因为它结合了艺术和科学。故选B。
25.A 推理判断题。第三段首句提到,作者从小就梦想成为一名古生物学者,下文讲述了她12岁那年关于梦想的经历。故推知,文中提到她参观博物馆是为了展示她追寻梦想的道路。故选A。
26.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后两句可知,在处理不完整的化石时,作者用不同的材料填补空隙,以起到提醒人们的作用。故选D。
27.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“As a matter of fact, in my friend group, I was the only dinosaur girl.”可知,作者是自己的朋友圈里唯一喜欢恐龙的女孩,但是她却坚持自己的梦想,成了一名化石制备师。故推知,她是有主见的。故选C。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在社交媒体平台的助力下,随行摄影师的出现及其利弊。
28.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,随行摄影师的主要工作是在沿途给旅行者拍照。故选C。
29.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Rui used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities...Now, he's a full-time photographer who spends most of his time...”可推知,第四段主要对比了Rui过去和现在从事的摄影的不同,即通过对比展开。故选D。
30.B 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“But this is not a one-way service.” “She helped relieve my anxiety about aging”等信息可推知,第五段作者想告诉人们摄影师享受的好处。故选B。
31.B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,现在,在社交媒体平台的帮助下,一名“随行摄影师”可以帮你消除这种担忧;最后一段中提到的“also has a dark side”“no industry standards or measures”“their pricing is dramatically different”揭示了这个行业黑暗的一面,所以作者对这个行业的态度是客观的。故选B。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了招聘过程中求职者和公司都倾向于夸大事实,很少有公司提供真实的职位预览,但研究表明诚实会有回报,真实的职位预览会降低离职率,提高员工满意度。
32.D 推理判断题。第二段讲到,每个超过一定经验水平的人都是转型领导者,个人负责创造数百万美元的收入;如果所有这些说法都是真的,那么世界经济规模将是实际规模的十五倍左右。英国人平均每天花四个半小时看电视和在线视频。但每个普通的求职者都是公益爱好者,他们只把业余时间用于有价值的目的,比如在施食处做志愿者。第三段开头提到“the tendency to stretch the truth”,由此可推知,本段提到“领导者”和“爱好者”是为了解释求职者在写简历时夸大能力的现象。故选D。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知,典型的公司会在职位描述中将工作环境描述为快节奏和创新,然后为“理想候选人”列出一系列不太可能的要求,从定义上讲,这种人几乎是不存在的。所以不仅仅是求职者,公司在选择应聘者时也会提出过高要求,所以夸大事实影响了应聘者和公司双方。故推知,画线词表示“夸大”,与overstate意思相近。故选A。overturn推翻;overlook忽略;overestimate高估。
34.A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job”可知,公司应该如实告诉求职者工作的利弊。故选A。
35.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容可知,招聘过程可以被看作是诚信与不诚实之间的一场战斗。你可能会认为这是寻求真相的公司和自我推销的候选人之间的一场简单的斗争,在某种程度上确实如此。但企业本身往往会以弄巧成拙的方式扭曲现实,第二段描述求职者的误区,第三、四段描述公司的夸大其词及应该如何去做,第五段表明诚实招聘是有回报的。由此可知,本文说明了在求职和招聘中,最重要的就是诚实。故推知,B选项“让招聘不再说谎”与本文主旨相符。故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何选择对自己有意义的职业。
36.B 上文(当你考虑择业时,你通常会用以下两种方法来选择)说明接下来将会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文(如果你喜欢写作或做手工艺品,你可以考虑这些事情)说明可以把自己喜欢做的事当成职业。B项(想想你喜欢做什么)能够概括本段的内容。故选B。
37.A 上文介绍了一些可以选择的职业。下文(但它们往往不是你真正热爱的事情)表示转折,A项(这些都是很好的选择)承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。故选A。
38.E 上文(然而,还有另一种可能更好的方法)说明接下来要讲另一种选择职业的办法。下文列举了一些有意义的服务他人的职业。E项(设法做一些事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
39.D 下文说如果你为了那种重要意义而选择其中一个职业,你在工作中会感觉每天都有意义。D项(这其中的每一种都只是众多充满意义的可能性中的一种)中的purpose和下文中的that purpose相呼应。故选D。
40.G 上文指出重点不是你如何为这个世界服务,而是以某种方式为这个世界服务会帮你感到充满意义。G项(如果你选择了一份有意义且有趣的工作,你总是比大多数人走得更远)承接上文,符合语境,也和文章主题如何选择充满意义的职业相呼应。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者毕业后找到了不错的工作,但后来作者想帮助那些需要帮助的人,于是辞去了金融分析师的工作。
41.B 根据上文的“African-American neighborhood”和“I was one of the few black students in my class.”可知,作者是一位非裔美国人,再结合空后的“even ‘too white’”和语境可知,此处表示作者被同学们取笑(teased)。A.责怪;C.推动;D.对待,招待。
42.C 根据上文可知,作者经常被取笑,再联系空前的“I knew if I wanted to do extremely well”和空后的“my fears of exploring a strange neighborhood”可知,此处表示作者知道如果自己想做得非常好,就要克服(overcome)恐惧。A.忽略;B.理解;D.确认。
43.D 由于处在一个陌生的环境中,作者常常觉得格格不入(out of place)。A.失去控制;B.失去耐心;C.失去平衡。
44.B 根据空前的“my father died”和空后的“disease”可以推断出,父亲与病魔作了长期的斗争(battle)。A.飞行;C.分离;D.过程。
45.C 根据下文的“I also delivered newspapers, tutored, worked at the mall...at IBM”可知,父亲去世这件事迫使作者早早就独立(independence)了。A.孤独;B.损失;D.难堪。
46.A 根据语境可知,此处表示作者很幸运地获得了大学的全额奖学金。receive表示“接到,收到”,指接收某物的客观事实,这里指“收到奖学金”。accept表示“接受(建议、邀请等)”,强调主观上自愿接受,不符合语境。
47.A 根据语境可知,作者最后(eventually)在IBM实习。B.特别地;C.自然地;D.严重地。
48.B 根据空前的“It wasn't easy for me.”和空后的“I developed a strong work ethic”可推断出,设空处前后文之间应是转折关系。Still在此处是熟词生义的用法,表示“不过”,相当于However。
49.D 根据下文可知,作者在一个投资银行找到了工作,故此处表示毕业后,作者以华尔街为奋斗目标。set one's sights on...意为“以……为奋斗目标”。
50.D 根据下文的“as a financial analyst for a large investment bank”可知,这里指作者接受了金融分析师的职位(position)。
51.D 根据下文的“in an under-served community”和“to help others”可知,作者想为政府扶持力度不够的社区做一些产生积极的(positive)影响的事情。A.临时的;B.复杂的;C.灵活的。
52.A 根据下文的“then joined Teach for America as...”可知,作者辞职(resigned)了,加入了“Teach for America”组织,担任首席财务官。B.退休;C.犹豫;D.坚持。

第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。影响“工作满意度”的因素除了薪水之外还有许多,就业者对工作的要求因人而异。
56.what 考查主语从句。句意:然而,大多数人想要的不仅仅是好的薪水。设空处无提示词,根据后面的系动词are可知设空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少动词want的宾语,且根据“more than just a good salary”可知,此处指“……的东西”,所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
57.are 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处描述一般情况,所以应用一般现在时。主语things为复数,所以be动词应用are。故填are。
58.a 考查冠词。make a difference意为“有影响,有关系”,为固定搭配。
59.creative 考查形容词。修饰名词environment应用形容词作定语,creative表示“创造性的”。故填creative。
60.planning 考查现在分词。当when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句的主语相同且从句中含be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。根据“you should consider all the activities”可知,此处指“你在规划你的职业生涯时”,省略了“you are”,所以应用现在分词planning。故填planning。
61.involved 考查过去分词。主句中已有谓语should consider和decide,所以这里应用非谓语动词。involve意为“包含”,与其逻辑主语activities之间构成被动关系,所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填involved。
62.actually 考查副词。句意:例如,如果你正在考虑成为一名记者,你的确喜欢与公众成员见面吗 根据句意可知应用副词actually作状语,表示“的确”。
63.of/about 考查介词。think of/about意为“考虑”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用介词of或about。
64.numbers 考查名词复数。根据常识可知,会计主要是跟数字打交道,而数字不止一个,所以这里用复数形式。
65.better 考查比较级。句意:仅仅因为一份工作的薪水比另一份高,并不意味着它是适合你的工作。根据“than another”可知,此处应用well的比较级better。故填better。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me about my career plan.
First of all, thank you for your concern. My dream career is to be a doctor. I have had this ambition since I was a child. And during the epidemic period, I saw those medical workers leave their families behind to go to the front line of rescuing the dying at the risk of sacrificing personal safety, which inspired my determination to become a doctor.
In order to realize this dream, I must study hard and be admitted to an ideal medical university with excellent grades.
Yours
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's visit. She carefully examined the test assignment he had given her. The challenge seemed difficult, but Amy was determined to prove herself. She spent hours each day practicing her drawing skills. As days turned into weeks, Amy's progress was remarkable. She submitted her completed work to Mr Henderson, who was genuinely impressed by her improvement. He believed that Amy had the ability to excel in the arts training program and even start a successful career in the field of art.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie. She began to notice the efforts and passion Amy put into her work. She realized that Amy had a talent for drawing, and that perhaps her art dream was worth pursuing. Over time, Bonnie started to support Amy. She understood that this opportunity could be life-changing for her granddaughter. With Bonnie's support, Amy devoted herself to the arts training program and learned a lot from Mr Henderson. Sometimes, dreams could become a reality with the right opportunity and strong support.
