Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
  Born in New York in 1918, scientist Gertrude B. Elion had an
impressive career, during which she developed medicines to treat many
major diseases.Elion spent her early youth in Manhattan.She attended
senior high school and had, in her words, an unbelievable thirst for
knowledge.
  Motivated by the death of her grandfather, who died of cancer,
Elion entered Hunter College at the age of 15 and graduated in chemistry at
the age of 19.She had difficulty finding employment after graduation
because many laboratories refused to hire women chemists.She found a
part-time job as a lab assistant and went back to school at New York
University.Elion worked as a high school teacher for a few years after
finishing work on her master’s degree.
  The start of World War Ⅱ created more opportunities for women.At
the age of 26, Elion was able to get a job at Burroughs Wellcome &
Company, where she began a 40-year partnership with Dr George H.
Hitchings.Her thirst for knowledge impressed Dr Hitchings, and he
permitted her to take on more responsibility.
  Elion and Hitchings set out on a course of creating medicines by
studying the chemical composition of diseased cells.Rather than relying on
old trial-and-error methods, they used the differences in biochemistry
between normal human cells and pathogens (病原体) to design
medicines.In all, Elion obtained 45 patents on medicine and was
awarded 23 honorary degrees.
  In 1988, Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine, together with George H. Hitchings and Sir James W.
Black.She received other awards for her work, including the National
Medal of Science in 1991, and that same year, she became the first
woman to be inducted (使正式加入) into the National Inventors Hall of
Fame.In 1997, she was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime
Achievement Award.

B
  Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman
Morgan had been helping her father with farm work before she could
attend the small town’s schoolhouse.Being a few years behind didn’t
hold her back and she graduated from high school with honours.Aware of
her intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University
as a chemistry major, where her skill was evident.
  The outbreak of World War Ⅱ resulted in a national shortage of
chemists and scientists.In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a
woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents,
producing explosives (爆炸物) for the wartime effort.She put her
degree on hold and moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of
analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
  After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so
she made a move to the field of aeronautics, moving to California to
work for NAA (North American Aviation).The only woman out of 900
engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating
the performance of rocket propellants (推进剂) and designing speciality
fuels to work with different engines.However, never having returned to
complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an
engineer, even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
  Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked
with finding a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into
space, Morgan was appointed the technical leader on the
project.National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating
fuels.After countless trials, she finally designed her own mixture,
which was named Hydyne.
  Hydyne was tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently
other aircraft (航空器), such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a
quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign.The fuel
made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan
silently slipped away from her success, retiring to focus on her family
and leaving her chemistry career behind.

作。据此可知,由于国内需求的变化,她转移了工作重心。
6. What does the underlined word “aeronautics” in Paragraph 3
probably mean?(  )
A. Analyzing chemicals.
B. Producing explosives.
C. Mixing and saving fuels.
D. Designing and building aircraft.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的moving to California to
work for NAA (North American Aviation) 可知,玛丽搬到了加利
福尼亚州为北美航空公司工作;结合画线词的前缀aero可知,她转
向的是航空领域。因此画线词意为“设计和制造飞机”。
7. What made Morgan the technical leader on the project of NAA?(  )
A. Her discovery of Hydyne.
B. Her rank as an engineer.
C. Her special knowledge in fuels.
D. Her sense of national pride.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Her experience with ...leader on the project.可知,由于她在推进剂研究方面有着丰富的经验,摩根被任命为项目技术领导者。
8. Which of the following words can best describe Mary Sherman
Morgan?(  )
A. Caring and determined. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Intelligent but sensitive. D. Accomplished but proud.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段尾句可知,玛丽·谢尔曼·摩
根暂时搁置了学位课程,到俄亥俄州从事危险的不稳定化学物质分
析工作,据此可以推知,她很勇敢;根据第四段尾句可知,她进行
了无数次试验,终于成功发明Hydyne,据此可以推知,她具有创
造力。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
  The future is a land full of unknowns, especially with new
technological developments and new job requirements that the future
holds.So how can students prepare themselves for such a future? 9.
(  )
  Allow students to lead their learning.
  Many teachers have a “my way or no way” attitude, which
negatively impacts a student’s growth as a person and future team
member within a company or organization. 10.(  ) They can help
shape the class and even the syllabus (教学大纲).Opening up to
students, listening to their needs early on, and holding meaningful
conversations together can create better future employees.
  11. (  )
  Creating situations that encourage students’ curiosity is an essential
practice for the brain.While curiosity can’t be taught, schools can bring
it out of students in particular contexts.Extra-curricular activities can help
students, for example, break out of everyday academic monotony (单
调).In this way, certain curious parts of the brain may be activated.
  Encourage collaboration (合作).
  12. (  ) When different people are encouraged to get together
and collaborate, unique ideas can become part of something
bigger.Group projects push students to develop decision-making while
also building a social setting where work can be done more effectively as
part of a collaborative effort.
  Help students develop effective communication skills.
  Effective communication, either in oral or written forms, will be
vital in the future workplace.The ability to fully exchange ideas can lead
to better working relationships.13.(  ) Good communication is the
key to opening a whole new universe of possibilities.
A. Make students curious.
B. Every person is unique in their own way.
C. Create an environment where creativity is valued.
D. Sometimes the solution can be simple: let students lead.
E. Learning how to fail can teach some critical and invaluable lessons.
F. Here are several ways schools can help prepare students for future jobs.
G. Therefore, teaching students to communicate effectively is simply a
must.

never been a candidate② for a particular job before, but my advice will
help you gain the upper hand③ as you set off and step into the world of
employment.
  Before we go any further, it’s important to understand the purpose
of an interview. [2]An interview is a conversation between an employer
and a potential employee, which allows the interviewer to assess④ the job

time for traffic delays .Remember, be an early bird and arrive at least
half an hour before your confirmed interview time.
  [10]For the duration of the interview, listen carefully to the
questions, and if you need clarification, it is not rude to say so.
[11]When answering, try to find the right conversational balance by

  Towards the end of the interview, don’t forget to seize the
moment and ask questions.An interview is a two-way street.[14]Asking
questions not only gives you a better picture of the company, but also
allows you to address any strengths you weren’t able to bring up
naturally.For example, “Japanese was a minor subject I took and I
know that expanding into Japan is part of your corporate plan.Will this
position provide opportunities to work in emerging markets there?”
  After the interview, you should follow it up by writing to thank the
interviewer for giving you the opportunity and again express your interest
in working for the company.This is not only a polite thing to do, but also
a final chance to recommend yourself. [15]It’s also vital to look back on
the process to see what you did well and where improvements are still
needed.
  [14]动词-ing短语Asking questions作主语;not only ...but
also ...连接两个并列谓语;定语从句you weren’t able to bring up

【参考译文】
求职面试技巧
  大家上午好。今天我想说说如果你被邀请参加一场求职面试该怎
么做。可能你之前从未成为某项职位的求职者,不过我的建议会帮助
你在开始踏入职场时占据上风。
  首先要说的是,了解一场面试的目的是很重要的。面试是一位雇
主和一位潜在雇员之间的一场对话,面试官据此评估求职者是否适合
该职位。同时,面试也为求职者提供机会以便对该职位和该公司有更
多了解,同时考量这份工作是否适合自己。
  面试之前,要确保作好充足的准备。通过公司简介对该公司以及
应聘职位做一些了解。这些信息能为你提供一个很好的依据来判断他
们筛选候选人的标准。把你能帮助该公司达成目标的优点和技能组合
列出来。同样重要的是要分析自己的弱点,并且在心里计划好自己打
算如何克服这些弱点。
  针对公司和职位做足功课之后,列出在面试中可能会被问到
的问题,并想想如何给出最佳答案。最好找一位朋友进行面试练
习。你可以把过程录下来,然后回顾自己的表现。注意自己的声
音和肢体语言。熟能生巧,坚持练习,直到你能够简洁而自信地
展现出最好的自我。
  准备好给人留下良好的第一印象。参加面试要穿着得体,另外,
男士们请务必把胡须剃干净。头一天晚上好好休息,让自己神清气
爽。查一下面试地址,选好交通方式,并留出多余时间以免交通延
误。切记,一定要早起,至少比确认的面试时间提前半小时到场。
  在面试过程中,要认真听提问,并且如果你需要对方表述得
更清楚些,可以提出来,这并不失礼。回答时试着把握好交谈的
分寸,给出面试官所需的一切信息,使其对你有全面的了解,又
不会过于啰嗦。从自己的个人经历中找出相关事例来解释,并且
具体说明自己取得的成绩。但是,你也需要注意面试官的反应来
决定是否提供更多细节。
  面试官可以从你的肢体语言中推断出很多信息。积极的肢体语言
传达着自信而放松的印象。因此,与面试官打招呼时,首先要坚定地
握手并真诚地微笑。交谈时要保持眼神交流,但不可一直盯着面试官
看。面试全程背部要保持挺直。负面的肢体语言是需要避免的,比如
打哈欠、东张西望和交叉双臂,因为这暗示着你感到厌倦、紧张或有
所防备。
  临近面试结束时,别忘了抓住时机提问。面试是双向的。提问不
仅能让你更好地了解这家公司,也能让你展现任何你原先无法自然体
现的优势。例如对面试官说:“我的选修专业是日语,并且我了解到
在日本拓展业务是贵公司企业计划的一部分。请问这个职位是否会提
供在日本的新兴市场工作的机会?”
  面试后,你应该紧接着写信感谢面试官给你这次机会,并再次表
达你为公司工作的兴趣。这不仅是一种礼节,也是一次最后进行自我
推荐的机会。回顾面试的过程也极为重要,以便梳理哪些地方你做得
好,哪些地方还需要改进。
  如果你按照这些步骤来做,并在面试中全力以赴的话,你会离到
达理想的彼岸并获得梦寐以求的工作更近一步。祝你好运!

is part of your corporate plan.Will this position provide
opportunities to work in emerging markets there?”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
  Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in
landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn
state lacks geographical variation.
  Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either
farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the
hills or lakes.To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to
four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame.I tend to travel
with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on
adventures and take photos along the way.
  Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of
photography.I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set
up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph.I
have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot
only five minutes before the best moment.
  One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake,
Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the
lake.After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of
rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset.The position
enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background.We
managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until
sunset.However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up
almost missing the sunset entirely.

师的摄影体验。为了拍出优秀的照片,他付出了很多,其中不乏艰
辛,当然也有收获和遗憾。

辛,当然也有收获和遗憾。
Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
1. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape
photographer in the Midwest?(  )
A. By teaming up with other photographers.
B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical conditions.
D. By creating settings in the corn fields.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中的To make some of my
landscape shots ...the countryside to go on adventures and take photos
along the way.可知,作者和他的朋友们到州立公园或乡村去拍
摄,以此来应对中西部缺少地理多样性的挑战。
2. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the
author?(  )
A. Proper time management.
B. Good shooting techniques.
C. Adventurous spirit.
D. Distinctive styles.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,恰当的地点和恰
当的时间对于拍摄任何风格的照片都起着决定性的作用。由此可
知,作者认为风景摄影成功的关键是适当的时间管理。
3. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s
Lake?(  )
A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D. They had problems with their equipment.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第四段中的However, we did not
mark the route ...it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in
the limited time.可知,作者他们几乎完全错过了日落,之后安置拍
摄设备的时间就非常有限了,也就是说他们到达拍摄地点的时间比
预期的要晚。
4. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake?(  )
A. Amusing. B. Satisfying.
C. Encouraging. D. Comforting.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,虽然有
准备不充分和时间管理不明智等方面的遗憾,作者依然认为这
是一些自己拍摄的最好的照片。由此可推知,作者对自己拍摄
的照片很满意。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
  When you’ve got too much to do, the natural response is to try to
fit in more tasks, in order to free up hours to do the things you love.
  There are countless books promising to help you, but these attempts
don’t always work.5.(  )
  The core problem is that the potential supply of new tasks is
endless.Get faster at completing work projects and you’ll simply be
given more work, thanks to your reputation as an efficient
employee.It’s the personal equivalent of what happens when a new lane
is added to a motorway to ease traffic jams.6.(  ) So congestion
(拥堵) remains as bad as it ever was.
  7. (  ) Social expectations do, too.Research by historian
Ruth Cowan highlights that when washing machines and vacuum cleaners
(吸尘器) were introduced, housework got more burdensome because
standards of cleanliness also rose.Deep down, we believe the false
promise of ever more efficiency.Yes, modest improvements in
productivity can help you get through more work — but the truth is that
there will always be more things worth doing than time in which to do
them.8.(  )
  The option you take is up to you: perhaps you’ll decide to tolerate
a messy house in order to spend more time reading to your children.Or
perhaps you’re willing to sacrifice a reputation as the best worker in your
office because your side business as a jewellery designer is worth it. 9.
(  ) Otherwise, it’ll get made for you — and you may find
yourself replying to emails at 11:30 pm on a Friday night.
A. So tough choices are always ahead.
B. The extra capacity just attracts more cars.
C. What matters is making the choice consciously.
D. It’s not just work that mounts up as efficiency rises.
E. Get quicker at answering emails, and you’ll get more of them.
F. Instead, the more you struggle to “get on top of things”, the
busier you find yourself.
G. If you want to spend more time with your children, you have to do
everything else more efficiently.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何应对忙碌给出了一议。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何应对忙碌给出了一些建议。
5. F 根据设空处前的but these attempts don’t always work可知,F项
内容承接上文进一步解释,指出相关的书并不是都很管用,反而会让
你变得更忙碌。
6. B 根据设空处前的when a new lane is added to a motorway可知选B
项,B项中的The extra capacity与上文所述的新加一条车道相呼应。
7. D 上一段提到the potential supply of new tasks,空后提到Social
expectations do, too.,故D项符合语境,D项中的work承接上文;not
just引出下文。
8. A 根据上文可知,生产力的提高意味着我们可以做更多的工作,
但是我们会发现,要做的事情总是比我们拥有的时间多。A项符合语
境,与上文为因果关系。正因为要做的事情比拥有的时间多,所以我
们总要做艰难的选择。
9. C 根据设空处后的Otherwise可知,做选择的时候,要明明白白,
否则事后还是会让自己陷于忙碌之中。故C项符合语境。

Ⅳ.读后续写
  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。
  I put one last box into the back seat and closed the car door.It felt as
if I were closing the door on my whole life.At first, I was excited when
Mom told me she’d gotten a fantastic new job at an animal
hospital.Then, because she always saves the bad news for last, she told
me the really terrible part.The hospital wasn’t in our city; it was miles
away in the middle of nowhere.And I’m definitely not a country girl.
  I stood beside the car, taking a last look at our building.To most
people, it probably just looked like any other old apartment house, but I
loved every brick.Just then, I saw my best friends, Hana and Leo,
come to see me off.While Hana played a cool riff (重复乐段) on her
trumpet (小号), Leo sang, “We will miss you, Celia.” I hugged
them tightly and jumped into the car fast so no one could see me tear
up.As Mom pulled away, I waved goodbye to my friends, my
neighbourhood, and my life.
  We rode a while in silence, and I held my violin case for
comfort.Leo, Hana, and I had been writing songs for our band, but
that was all over now.“Don’t think of this as an ending,” Mom
said, with her knack (技能) for reading my mind.“It’s an exciting
beginning.It’s normal to be a bit anxious about unfamiliar things, but
you don’t need to be afraid of them.” I kept silent and looked out the
window as crowded, exciting city streets turned first into tasteless
suburban shopping strips and then into endless, boring trees and fields of
corn.We finally arrived at our new home, a two-story wooden
farmhouse.Mom said I could go explore.Mom never let me go out alone
in the city, so maybe a bit more freedom would be one consolation (慰
藉) of living here.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
  Feeling that country life might turn out okay, I wandered off,
taking my violin with
me.                        
  I couldn’t resist, so I took out my violin and began to play
along.                        
参考范文:
  Feeling that country life might turn out okay, I wandered off,
taking my violin with me.Suddenly I heard something I wasn’t
expecting — a beautiful, jazzy tune.I pushed through some corn only to
come face-to-face with a cow.Then another hot jazz riff floated through
the air.I turned around and saw a tall kid playing an old saxophone in a
field of corn.His music was fantastic, and he didn’t dress the way I
figured a country kid would.This guy was wearing clothes that made him
look cool, like a famous performer.
  I couldn’t resist, so I took out my violin and began to play
along.The boy looked surprised, but he didn’t miss a beat.We played
together, and by the end, a cow was tapping her tail to the
rhythm.When we finished, we introduced ourselves to each other and
became friends.We also decided to write songs together.I looked at my
new friend, the cheerful cow and tall corn.I could feel my thoughts about
country life already changing, and I had a feeling it would change a lot
more.(共103张PPT)

Work to live, live to work
  [1]If you were asked the question, “Do you work to live or live to
work?”, what would your answer be?Some might say that we work
because we have to, not least① because we need the salary②that enables
us to be financially independent③.[2]It is certainly true that most of us do
join the labour④ force once our studies are completed.Indeed, it could

为了活着而工作,还是为了工作而活着
  如果有人问你这个问题:“你是为了活着而工作,还是为了工作
而活着?”你会怎么回答呢?有人可能会说,我们工作是因为我们必

确实是学业一结束就进入职场了。的确可以说,我们的教育就是在为
自己一生的职业生涯做准备。不过,谋生绝非我们工作的唯一原因—
—还有其他重要的原因在推动我们走向工作岗位。
  通过我们所做的工作,我们的目标可以达成,我们的梦想也可以
实现。我们所有人都曾心怀这样或那样的梦想,而工作常常能让我们
追寻那些梦想。亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过:“……一个人若自信地朝
他梦想的方向行进,努力过他设想的那种生活,那么他就会在平常的
时刻与成功不期而遇。”例如杨利伟,他怀着对飞翔的酷爱当上了飞
行员,然后成为中国第一位飞向太空的宇航员。不论我们有什么爱
好,选择了什么职业,工作都能让我们有机会从事自己喜欢的事情,
因而让我们获得极大的成就感和满足感。
  工作也能帮助我们提升技能,从而拓展我们的个人成长空间。在
工作中,我们需要持续不断地磨练技术,直至能出色完成所做的工

明白在沿着自己选定的职业道路前进时,我们作为个体正在发展着。
  工作不仅在个人层面上对我们有益,还能促进社会的健康发展。
从最基本的层面来看,各种各样的职业就像一台机器里的一个个零

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
  Susan had worked for the same company for a long time.She was
smart, worked hard and was good at mentoring (指导) others to help
them develop their skills and careers.Then, she was unexpectedly
restructured into a different job.Susan reached out to me a few weeks into
her new role as she wrestled with the change.She was worried that she
wasn’t learning the new skills needed fast enough and that she was letting
her team down, to the point where she feared her role could be at risk.
  Given Susan’s fears, we decided we needed to start big and tackle
her fear head-on with new exposure opportunities.So we set Susan a huge
challenge to deliberately (故意地) step out of her comfort zone and
embrace a beginner’s mindset.This meant finding new hobbies outside of
work that she wasn’t confident she would be able to master and stick
with.
  Susan took up sewing.She was a novice (新手) and had to watch
plenty of videos online to figure out how to do anything.Taking on a
beginner’s mindset helped her to enjoy what it feels like to learn, rather
than fall into frustration (受挫).She also practised how it feels to accept
mistakes.It hasn’t been a smooth path — Susan recalled with humour the
times that she wanted to throw a tantrum as it all felt too hard.To her credit
though, she continues to sew.
  My next experiment was to see how she might take this mindset into
her new role.For this, I coached Susan to let her colleagues know she
was feeling anxious about her performance and ask for
feedback.Collecting quality feedback from her colleagues helped Susan to
take baby steps and progress, while easing her fears of losing her job any
time soon.
  At our last conversation, Susan described herself as a beginner’s
mind “novice”; learning still isn’t comfortable for her but it is
helping her understand that she can take a different approach.Most
importantly, she’s more open than ever towards trying new things.

A. She entered a new company.
B. She worked hard to adapt to her new job.
C. There was a tension between her and her team.
D. There would be a structural change in her company.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Susan reached out
to ...wrestled with the change.可知,苏珊在从事新工作几周后联系
了作者,她在努力应对这一变化。由此可知,苏珊在努力适应她的
新工作。
2. What did the author and Susan decide to do in response to Susan’s
issue?(  )
A. Relieve her work stress.
B. Change priorities in her life.
C. Introduce her to new things.
D. Improve her work efficiency.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,考虑到苏珊担心
的事情,她们决定需要从大处着手,借助让她接触新事物的机会,
直接解决她的恐惧。
3. What does the underlined part “throw a tantrum” in Paragraph 3 most
probably mean?(  )
A. Work out details. B. Ask for feedback.
C. Raise questions. D. Get angry.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的It hasn’t been a smooth
path ...she continues to sew.可知,苏珊学习缝纫的过程并不顺
利。根据it all felt too hard和选项可知,苏珊因为缝纫太难而想“发
怒”,即画线部分意为“发怒,发脾气”。
4. Which of the following was Susan’s change after the author’s “next
experiment”?(  )
A. She became faster at learning new skills.
B. She became less worried about losing her job.
C. She became more unwilling to take on challenges.
D. She became skilled at practising her beginner’s mind.
解析:细节理解题。通读第四段可知,通过收集来自苏珊同事的高质量反馈,苏珊取得了小小的进步,这样也减少了她对短期内丢掉工作的忧虑。由此可知,经此之后,苏珊没有那么担心丢掉工作了。

  Wind energy provided 7% of the total electricity in the United States
in 2019.Since 2008, the use of coal-fired power plants has declined, as
the use of renewable energy and natural gas has increased.Wind energy is
an excellent way to reduce carbon emissions, but what happens when the
wind turbine blades (涡轮机叶片) wear out? Is there a waste
management issue?
  The design life of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years.The longest
wind turbine blade to date is 350 feet, almost the length of a football
field.Although certain parts of wind turbines can be relatively easily
recycled, others are not designed for recyclability.In particular, wind
turbine blades present the biggest waste management challenge.Many
spent turbine blades are piling up in landfills.However, researchers from
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are making
progress in this area.
  They developed a blade out of thermoplastic resin (热塑性树脂)
that is low-cost, lightweight, and seems to be recyclable.If the new
blade also proves to be strong, this could be a game changer for the
offshore and onshore wind industry.Lower costs could also help improve
wind energy efficiency, reducing the use of fossil fuels.A lightweight
blade is easier to transport and uses less fuel.It also seems easier to recycle
and uses less energy in the production process.“With the traditional
material, it’s almost like when you fry an egg.It’s finished and you
can’t undo that,” said Derek Berry, a senior engineer at NREL.
“But with a thermoplastic resin system, you can make a blade out of
it.You heat it to a certain temperature, and it melts back down.You can
get the liquid resin back and reuse that.”
  Although the research looks promising, progress will be slow.Most
wind farms being constructed today will stop working in a few
decades.The benefits of recyclable blades are still decades away at
best.The associated environmental impact has largely been a blind spot for
the industry.Hopefully, recent progress will help make wind power even
greener.

  There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary
greatly in the types of work involved and in the ways they influence a
person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many
ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help
yourself build the life you want.To do that, you need as much
information as possible.The more you know about yourself, the better
you will be able to choose a satisfying career.
  What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a
high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still, others
intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin
to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your
interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent in your future
work.Most people are happiest with jobs that fit their values, interests,
and skills.Each person has many values, which vary in strength.For
example, money is of the greatest value for some people — that is,
wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting themselves to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others.
  Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is the
most important to you and examine your belief to better know your
values.For example, is it important for you to work as a member of a
team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone
or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of
your primary values.

(Text 1)
W:The sports meet starts at 8:00.
M:In order to get a good seat, we must arrive there fifteen minutes in
advance.
(Text 2)
W:Will you grab some peanut butter from the store, please? I want to
make some cookies later.
M:Sure thing, honey. I’ll grab some when I get coffee later.I think
we’re running low on milk, too.
(Text 3)
M:Did you get a present for Molly’s birthday?
W:Yes.You know she loves to listen to Johnny Holden—she’s got all
his CDs—so when I saw this book all about his life, I knew that was the
perfect present for her.
(Text 4)
W:I’m looking for a place to have my client’s art show.We are really
hoping to attract a large audience.
M:You should try the Fairmont Hotel.It’s expensive to rent, but it’s
also right by the subway.It’s super convenient.
(Text 5)
M:Was the telephone ringing?
W:I didn’t hear anything.Sometimes when the windows are open,
you can hear the neighbours’ phone ringing.
M:Well.I’m expecting an important phone call, and I don’t want to
miss it.
(Text 6)
W:How is your mother feeling these days?
M:Much better, thanks, Ms Wang. The operation went smoothly and
the doctor says she’ll recover in no time and she’ll probably come home
at the weekend.
W:That’s wonderful.When will you come back to class?
M:I still need a week to take care of her and today I will do some
cleaning for her coming home.
W:OK. Take care of your mother and yourself.The whole class are
expecting you.
(Text 7)
W:Look at Tina.She looks like she’s on top of the world.
M:Yes.She must have won the English competition.
W:If she has won it, then Mark must be really sad right now.He
wanted to win it so much.
M:Yes, I’m afraid Mark couldn’t even go.I met him yesterday.He
told me he caught a cold.
W:I’m so sorry to hear that, poor Mark.By the way, why didn’t
you take part in the competition?
M:I had no time.I had to prepare for an important exam.What about
you? Why didn’t you take part?
W:I’m just not interested in competitions.
(Text 8)
W:Hello.Front desk.
M:This is Bob Robinson.I’m calling from Room 627.
W:Hi, Mr Robinson.What can I do for you?
M:Is it possible to change to another room?
W:Could you please tell me why?
M:Our room is facing the swimming pool.It’s noisy for me.I have a
problem with sleeping.And my wife feels uncomfortable when she takes
the elevator.
W:So you need a quiet side room on a lower floor.
M:You’re right.
W:Okay.Let me check the first floor.
M:Thank you.
W:We have only two rooms left on the first floor.How about Room 108?
M:That’s fine.Can we move now?
W:Sure.I’ll send the doorman to help you.
M:Oh, thank you.
W:You’re welcome.
(Text 9)
W:Tim, you’re going to talk about your project on “How to Lead a
Greener Life”.Why did you choose that subject?
M:Well, we’d learnt a lot about the environment in our science
lessons. So, I decided to see what I could do in my own life, rather
than just act completely helplessly.And I knew the rest of my family
would be interested.
W:Did you find it easy to get information?
M:Yeah, I discovered there were lots of people at my age trying to be
green.I’d always gone to school by car.Catching a bus would be
better, but there’s no bus where we live, so I’ve gone for riding my
bike to school now.
W:OK, and what about being green once you’re actually at school?
M:Well, I realised that although all school paper was recycled and most
of my friends use both sides of paper, we use huge quantities, and I
thought we should cut down. And then it came to me that we should be
handing in most of our homework electronically.I’m going to
recommend it to our teachers.
W:And what about the school cafeteria?
M:One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays.It’s good to use
local produce, too.That’s something our school already does.But we
still have machines with bottled milk, water and juices for sale, and I
think we shouldn’t have them.
(Text 10)
W:One destination that is becoming popular with Chinese tourists is
Bali.It is a beautiful island of Indonesia.There is a rainy season that is
perfect for swimming.One of the main attractions is Bali’s diverse sea
life.There are some creatures that don’t exist anywhere else in the world.
Visitors who don’t know how to dive can take classes while they’re on
vacation there.The island is also home to several active volcanoes.Many
scientific groups come to study them.Even though tourism is on the rise,
most of the population still works in agriculture and the fishing industry.
Balalso has many traditional artworks.Some popular products for sale include clothing with special designs, wood sculptures, and organic coffee.A great time to visit the island is during one of its many
festivals.Since ancient times, the culture of Bali has had a lot of
influence from Chinese culture.Chinese New Year is widely celebrated by
Indonesians who are of Chinese origin.The island of Bali has many
ancient Chinese buildings that are especially good to visit during the
holiday.

  While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest and most delicious
meals is the ultimate aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra mission: fighting
food waste.He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big impact:
not just on people’s taste buds (味蕾), but also on their way of
thinking about food — and food waste.
  With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants
in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his
career.So what is the best way to prevent this? For him, it really comes
down to one essential thing:“Rather than thinking about what you want
to cook, look at the remnants, what’s available, and then make a
menu.This is what every chef should do.”
  He’s clear on his solution: “Lose that fanciness, and look at the
quality of the product and the flavor,” Rudolf explains.“There are too
many chefs who are trying to be too fancy.They want to have only the
biggest sea fish no matter what.Or they make a dish with only the heart of
the cabbage, only using the most delicate leaves and then they throw
away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.
  He knows that one of his suppliers — a local farm — is left with a
growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred chefs only buy the
prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg.In just three or four
weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.“And
that’s just one supplier,” he says.
  While other chefs will only accept the best from their suppliers, if
something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still
going to use it.“Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower
quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve less quality.It’s my job to
turn that into good-quality food on the plate,” he says.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。资深厨师Rudolf Brand用边角料食材
烹饪美味,引发大众对食物浪费的关注。
24. What does Rudolf intend to do with his dishes?(  )
A. Create the fanciest meals ever.
B. Educate the public on food waste.
C. Encourage people to cook by themselves.
D. Pursue a career in Michelin-starred restaurants.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的on their way of thinking
about food — and food waste可知,Rudolf希望通过自己的烹饪影
响人们对食物浪费的认知。
25. What does the underlined word “remnants” in Paragraph 2 mean?
(  )
A. Remainder. B. Menus.
C. Budget. D. Demands.
解析: 词义猜测题。画线词后面的what’s available是画线词
的同位语。由此可知,remnants意为“剩余物”。
26. What does Rudolf say about many chefs?(  )
A. They are too choosy about materials.
B. They would like to try out his cooking methods.
C. They care too much about flavor.
D. They satisfy customers’ needs to the full.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第三段中的They want to have only
the biggest sea fish ...most delicate leaves and then they throw away
the rest.可知,在Rudolf看来,许多厨师做菜时只选用品质最高的
食材,也就是说,他们过于挑剔食材。
27. What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf?(  )
A. They overproduce greatly.
B. They struggle to win orders.
C. They have many unwanted leftovers.
D. They fail to store their products properly.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,由于高级别的米
其林厨师只要品质最佳的肉,因此供应商那里没能销售出去的剩
余食材很快就会堆积如山。由此可知,目前广大食材供应商面临
的问题是有太多的剩余食材。

  Sam Shepler was not surprised the first time he was asked to make a
video resume (简历) in 2021.The 32-year-old had noticed the trend
growing in the previous year, and was applying for a video-editing
role.The role did not require any public speaking, and Shepler had no
experience talking about himself on camera.Even though he got the job,
the process felt more burdensome than usual.“I honestly prefer the old-
fashioned resume and interview,” he says.
  A recent survey showed that 79% of hiring managers thought that
video resumes had become “more important” than before for vetting
(审查) candidates, and 61% of job seekers thought “a recorded
video could be the next version of the traditional cover letter”.As remote
work has made video an increasingly common part of life at work, are
video resumes the future — whether candidates want them to be or not?
  Chloe Chioy, 22, believes a video resume was crucial in helping
her secure her first job after university.“It was a decision on my part to
submit a video resume,” says the Taipei-based digital marketing
coordinator, who works remotely for a UK-based company.The job
advertisement only stated that a resume was required.“Being a fresh
graduate, I knew experience was my major disadvantage.I think showing
my personality and attitude in the video helped my application.” She also
made sure to emphasise skills relevant to the role, including screenshots
of articles she had written, clips (片段) of her public speaking, and
showing off her video-editing abilities.
  Chioy’s approach made use of some of the distinct benefits of video
resumes, says recruitment (招聘) specialist Jan Tegze.This can be
particularly helpful for applicants with little experience applying in
competitive fields who need an extra edge to secure a role.He also
mentions that he cannot see the video resume replacing its written
counterpart (相对物) any time soon.“Recruitment really hasn’t
changed for decades.We are using different tools that are a little bit
faster, but it’s still about human interaction,” he says.

D
  While waste within the convenience economy should certainly be
solved, it is neither realistic nor sustainable to work towards the complete
abandonment of plastics for packaging and other convenience
items.Plastics play a crucial role in preserving products both physically
and from the effects of water, oxygen and other things.Further, we
cannot over-rely on recycling when we consider weak market interest in
low-grade materials.
  What we need is a strong focus on improving the sustainability of the
plastics that we will continue to need.For these plastics, the clear goal
should be to stop the use of oil.We must turn to materials based on
natural, renewable resources and produce plastics that have minimal
impact on the environment after multiple use.Several of these products are
already available on the market, but the key to challenging the
dominance of oil-based plastics is extending and developing the capability
and range of such products with new material science.
  Industrial biotechnology is becoming a cornerstone of the
bioeconomy.It involves working with natural processes to extend
biochemical pathways that can be used in manufacturing (制造业).It
has the potential to improve how we manufacture materials and allow us to
produce entirely new materials, at the same time protecting the
environment and reducing costs.
  At Biome Bioplastics, for example, our industrial biotechnology
development programme has already successfully produced bio-based
chemicals at sufficient scale (规模) for industrial testing from lignin,
the woody material in plants and other renewable carbon sources.Availability of these chemicals could completely transform the bioplastics market, creating natural polymers (聚合物) that can
compete with oil-based polymers on both cost and functionality.We
believe that our product can deliver important changes across the materials
industry and provide a critical tool in the fight against plastic pollution.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
  阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
  Debate is a valuable activity for students of all skill levels.Most
obviously, debaters build confidence speaking in public and expressing
their ideas eloquently (雄辩地).That comfort speaking in front of
others is useful in many areas of life, from interviews to school
presentations.
  36. (  ).The preparation for competition teaches critical
thinking and research skills as well.As F. Scott Fitzgerald once said,
“The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas
in mind at the same time and still have the ability to function.” Debate
tests and builds that ability by forcing students to see both sides of
issues.Debaters learn to explain their own ideas and assess different
viewpoints.37.(  ), teaching them to conduct research and assess
sources.
  Debating skills help students express their thoughts better in their
academic work.Debaters are used to responding to unfamiliar arguments
in time-sensitive situations; thinking critically about a written passage on
the SAT test is not so different from responding to an opponent’s
argument in a debate round.38.(  ).
  For those who commit to speech and debate, it offers a lifetime of
benefits.Debate teaches how to persuade, how to present clearly, and
how to connect with an audience, exactly the skills businesses look for in
their young employees.39.(  ).There are ex-debaters excelling
(突出) in business, law, politics, academia, and many other fields.
  40. (  )! Debate makes learning a game.Students build their
critical thinking and speaking skills without feeling like work.And
throughout the years of practice and competition, debate builds lifelong
friendships and community.
A. Debate provides life-changing experiences
B. Perhaps most important of all, debate is fun
C. Keeping calm has been proven to be effective
D. You’ll find ex-debaters in every area of public life
E. Therefore, debaters outscore non-debaters on the SAT
F. And debate requires students to research their ideas and support them
with evidence
G. But the benefits of debating are not limited to the skills built while
students are speaking
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了辩论给学生学习和未来
生活带来的益处。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了辩论给学生学习和未来
生活带来的益处。
36. G 首段介绍了辩论最明显的好处——讲话自信流利。设空处下
一句提到准备比赛可以让人学到批判性思维和研究技能。G项(但是
辩论的好处并不局限于学生在讲话时培养的技能)承上启下,符合语
境。G项中的speaking属于原词复现。
37. F 根据设空处后的“教他们进行研究和评估来源”可知,设空处
应与研究相关,故F项(辩论要求学生研究他们的观点,并用证据支
持他们的观点)符合语境,且与第二段中的research skills相呼应。
38. E 本段介绍辩论技能带给学业的好处,设空处上一句提到写
高考作文和在辩论中回应对手的论点具有相似之处,故E项(因
此,辩论者在高考中的得分高于非辩论者)符合语境,与上文构
成因果关系。
39. D 根据空后一句可知,在商业、法律、政治、学术界和许多其
他领域都有前辩手。故D项(你可以在公共生活的各个领域找到前辩
手)符合语境,D项中的public life是下一句中business, law,
politics, academia, and many other fields的上义词。
40. B 根据设空处下文中的makes learning a game和without feeling
like work可知,B项(也许最重要的是,辩论很有趣)符合语境。fun
与game构成词汇的同现关系。

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。
  Shawn was a snail (蜗牛) unlike any other snail in the ditch
(沟).All of the snails that Shawn knew were slow, slow to get food,
slow to get water, slow to get anywhere.What made Shawn so fast was
that he was stronger than everyone else.Because he was the strongest,
and could carry his home with ease, he was also the fastest, making
him the speediest snail around.
  Shawn felt very proud and started using his speed for his
benefit.Anytime there was a leaf that fell to the ground, Shawn would
race to it and eat until he got full before anyone else would get the
chance.If it rained, and small pools of water formed at the bottom of the
ditch, Shawn drank and drank all he needed, right in front of all his
friends and family.The other snails liked Shawn, but the way he used his
speed was making them angry.
  After some time, the snails in the ditch couldn’t bear it.
  “Shawn! Stop eating so much before we can have our helping,”
cried Blaine.
  “Yeah, Shawn!” agreed Susan.“You don’t have to keep
reminding us about how slow we are.”
  Shawn was surprised.“Well, maybe if you would exercise a little
bit more, you could beat me to the food and the water!” he said.
  “How can we become stronger if you keep beating us to our
food?” replied Harvey.
  “We all think it’s about time you found another ditch, one that
you can have all to yourself,” said Blaine.
  That hurt Shawn.Slowly, he left the ditch for another place.He
knew that there was another ditch across the road that was completely
empty of other snails.Shawn was the only one who knew that because he
was the only one capable of getting across the road safely.
  A couple of weeks later, Shawn missed his friends across the road,
and he realized that his ditch had even more food than the other, much
more than he’d ever need.He decided he’d pay them a visit.When he
came back, he found them very weak.Once they saw Shawn, they
began to cry.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
  Shawn was very worried and asked them what had
happened.                        
  Shawn decided to make use of his strength to their
advantage.                        
参考范文:
  Shawn was very worried and asked them what had happened.There
wasn’t enough food in this ditch anymore after a storm.They were too
weak and too slow to find enough for all of them to eat.They badly needed
Shawn’s help.Even though they had asked him to leave the ditch, it
was only because of his selfish actions.Shawn felt ashamed of his behavior
in the past, and regretted leaving them.He thought about what he could
do carefully and found what the right thing to do would be.
  Shawn decided to make use of his strength to their advantage.One by
one, Shawn lifted each of his snail friends up and as fast as he could, he
brought them over to the ditch on the other side of the road.They were all
safe and sound, especially after Shawn raced around the ditch getting
food and bringing it straight to his weaker friends.Shawn would never use
his speed to show off again.(共6张PPT)

to teach foreigners Chinese, I am writing to apply for this position.

fluent in English, which enables me to communicate with foreigners
more easily.In addition, I’m quite familiar with some traditional
Chinese arts like paper-cutting and calligraphy, thus giving me an
opportunity to introduce Chinese culture to foreigners.Therefore, I think
I’m qualified and suitable for the position.

  The topic “slash youth”, referring to those refusing to be defined
or bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple
careers, has fueled heated debate on social media.On Douban, a
Chinese social networking platform, the topic has attracted about 11,
000 posts and has been viewed over 400 million times.China’s young
people are keen to share their slash youth stories online, presenting
themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse
and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and
musician.
  Xing Eryang, a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing, founded
the Douban topic in 2021.While staying diligent about her daytime
work, she is developing her hobbies, including stand-up comedy and
vlogging, into secondary careers during her spare time.And she is
amazed to find her “slash life” philosophy followed by so many of her
peers.
  Weiheng, a 26-year-old woman in Guangzhou, and Tang Yuhan,
a 27-year-old man in Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, are both
participants in the topic, with their stories earning thousands of likes so
far.The two are both musicians in their spare time, even though they are
thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in media and
finance.Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t
abandon their enthusiasm, even after entering the workplace.
  Others’ reaction showed the gap between the young and former
generations.“My parents used to say,‘music cannot earn you
money,’ so the band thing was regarded as a waste of time.However,
we want to pursue whatever we love and are willing to pay for it,” says
Weiheng.
  “The ‘slash life’ mania (狂热) shows that, along with
China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and
more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-
fulfillment,” says Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin
Academy of Social Sciences.“Young people no longer have to rely on
work and money for their sense of self-worth.They tend to practice a carpe
diem (活在当下) philosophy and create their own identities.”

  (2024·江苏淮安高二期中)You have everything you think you
need for your dream job, but could something else be holding you back?
You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills.
  Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical.A master’s
degree in business is a hard skill.The ability to speak Spanish is a hard
skill.Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills, such as years
of work experience or proficiency (精通) with particular computer
programs.
  On the other hand, soft skills are harder to define.And they can’t
be defined.And they can’t be measured.Soft skills cover a wide range of
characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most
common and most necessary for success include being a good listener and
speaker, a wise leader, a problem solver, a strong communicator or a
team player.It’s also helpful if you can accept feedback, handle
conflicts with others, deal with difficult people or be flexible.These soft
skills are what many employers desire.
   Soft skills benefit you in many ways.Being a good listener, for
example, is very helpful if you’re a doctor.Being flexible, a team
player and a problem solver helps you succeed when dealing with deadlines.
  Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to
succeed.Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in
landing a job you’ll love, or being more successful in the job you
already have.They make the difference between someone who is just OK
at their job and someone who is outstanding, the person you always want
on your team.Generally speaking, soft skills make you more likable and
more competent.
  Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes
or in job interviews, but soft skills don’t come naturally.

  Catherine Gallo, 20, couldn’t believe it when a fellow student at
Hofstra University told her she had gotten a stylish jacket for free from a
new on-campus shop in Hempstead.
  Gallo and her friend got their clothes from Hofstra’s Career Closet
shop, which makes donated new and gently used professional clothing
available free for its students, who can “shop” by appointment for
clothing for job interviews and career fairs.Operated by the Center for
Career Design and Development, the Career Closet is in the Campus
Living and Wellness Center.So far, it has provided more than 1,500
students with items for their own closets.
  Career Closets aim to address the need for students on limited budgets
to have professional clothing, and they’re springing up at colleges
nationwide including University of Washington and Boston
College.Fashions such as suits, ties, shoes, handbags and more are
raised from Hofstra employees and the Center for Career Design and
Development’s corporate partners, including accounting and consulting
firms such as Baker Tilly and Crowe.
  “It’s a great way to build up my closet,” says Margaret Sykes,
19, a new college student from University of Massachusetts majoring in
film-making.“I’m glad Hofstra is providing this service because
clothing is expensive now and a lot of people don’t have money to get
business clothing.” She adds,“I have mostly jeans and T-shirts, so I
got a few business suits.I need something that looks professional when I
go out on a shoot to interview an important figure such as the president of
Hofstra University.”
  Career center director Michelle Kyriakides says the shop’s concept
is something she had in mind for many years as a “personal goal”,
even before she heard of it becoming a trend at other schools.“So much
of an employer’s decision about career readiness depends on how the
applicants present themselves, so we want to help our students feel
confident,” Kyriakides says.

B. To provide students with part-time jobs.
C. To meet students’ needs for fashionable clothes.

address the need for students on limited budgets to have professional
clothing可知,“职业衣橱”的目的是帮助资金有限的学生获得商
务套装。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
  When it comes to hobbies and careers, all of us have our own
stories.As a little girl, my favourite thing to do was reading — the same
as today.So I figured I’d be a librarian when I grew up.16.(  )
The library had a two-book limit, but she knew I’d blow through those
in just a few days, so she always let me check out a big stack.
  Time passed quickly and I was in fourth grade.Our school librarian,
Mrs Ketelsen, sent some poems I’d written about dinosaurs to the
Highlights magazine.17.(  )
  At university, though majoring in journalism, I quickly learnt that
I did not want to be a newspaper reporter.18.(  ) It amuses almost
everyone who knows me and thinks I’m outgoing.(I am, but only
with people I know!) So I was thrilled when I was selected for a
summer internship at Reader’s Digest.
  Ten years after that, I came back to Reader’s Digest to work as an
editor.19.(  ) I’ve worked at other magazines too, but I’ve
spent most of my career here, reading magazines, newspapers,
websites, and books for stories we could condense (简缩), writing
articles and even choosing jokes.
  20. (  ) “The Tractor War” takes me home to the
Midwest.“Something to Sneeze At” reminds me of all the sneezing I did
when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic to grasses and
trees ...I relate to lots of our stories this month, and I hope you do
too.Enjoy!
A. It was a long road home.
B. I lost my interest in it soon.
C. My first published writing!
D. I’m shy about interviewing people.
E. My dream of becoming a librarian encouraged me.
F. The stories in this issue seem to introduce myself to you.
G. Our town librarian, Mrs T nne, was really important to me
becoming me now.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者选择职业程。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者选择职业的过程。
16. G 空后一句提到了一个知道作者阅读习惯的人。故G项(我们镇
上的图书管理员,特内夫人,对我成为现在的我真的很重要)符合语
境。G项中的Mrs T nne对应空后的she。
17. C 空前一句提到学校的图书管理员把作者的诗寄给了杂志
(社),由此可知,本句是在说明结果:作者第一次出版了作品。故
C项(我第一次出版的作品!)符合语境。
18. D 空后一句提到作者只有和认识的人在一起才很外向,由此可
知,作者害怕采访他人。故D项(我害怕采访别人)符合语境。
19. A 根据空前一句可知,作者十年后再次回到了曾经实习过的
《读者文摘》(杂志社)做编辑,由此可推知,A项(回家的路很
长)符合语境。
20. F 下文列举的故事让作者想起了自己的经历,故F项(这一期中
的故事似乎将我自己介绍给了你们)符合语境。
Ⅲ.应用文写作
  假定你是李华。你的英国朋友Eric发来邮件,提到他对未来的职
业规划感到很迷茫。请你给他回一封邮件,内容包括:
  1. 表示理解;
  2. 提出建议。
注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Dear Eric,
Yours,
Li Hua
                      
                      
                      
                      
                      
参考范文:
Dear Eric,
  I totally understand what you’re going through since I felt the same
last year.In my opinion, career confusion is natural and can even be
good.It pushes us to think about our options, explore opportunities, and
eventually reach a well-thought-out decision.
  My anxiety has been reduced after I sought career guidance from
professionals, which can also help you.Besides, bear in mind that
hobbies matter.You can turn your favourite activities into a career and
transfer your skills.
  I hope my advice can be helpful.Please keep me updated.
Yours,
Li Hua
