A“ I Went Skydiving at 84!”As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was anexperience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. didit at age 80.Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’ t believe it. Inspir ed by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area closeto whereI would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view belowwas unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope otherpeople willlook at me and realize that you don’ t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’ s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’ s something that is possible, make it happen.1.What happened to the author in 2011?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride .D. She moved into a retirementcommunity.2. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to ___________.A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive3. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful4. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful cloudsB. The wonderful viewC. The company of JayD. The one-minute free fallBBrave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World (NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday's Daily News said 29-year Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“ I didn't think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “ It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, butrealized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off hiscoat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when shewas out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn'trealize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the citythe next morning. "I don't really think I'm a hero," said Duret. "Anyone would dothe same ting."5. Why was Duret in New York?A. To meet his girlfriend.B. To work as an engineer.C. To spend his holiday.D. To visit the Andersons.6. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A. He was interviewed by a newspaperB. He asked his girlfriend for his dryclothesC. He went to the hospital in the ambulanceD. He disappeared from the spot quickly7. Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?A. David AndersonB. A passer-byC. His girlfriendD. A taxi driver.8. When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?A. The day when he was leaving for home.B. A couple of days after the girl wasrescued.C. The first day when he was in New York.D. The same day when he was interviewed.CFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years goby without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.9. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.10. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.11. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _____.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly12. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.B. Examples of the parent-teen war.C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.DModern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on ata much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.13. The new products become more and more time-saving because _____.A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limitedC. the prices are increasingly highD. the manufacturers boast a lot14. What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past times.B. Machinery and human beings.C. Imaginations and inventions.D. Modern technology and its influence. .第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.We picked a little, gray, playful ball of fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see thedisappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.24. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Shocked.B. Curious.C. Worried.D. Eager.25. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.B. They fought with each other fiercely.C. They kept a certain distance from each other.D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Lightning knew Sam had died.B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.27. What can be the best title of the text?A. The Friendship between Sam and LightningB. The Coming of Sam and LightningC. The Death of Sam to LightningD. The Importance of Sam to UsCEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee (拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surpri se. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy (书法) to beone of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without re membering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin, “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.28. What can we learn about the Character Hero? ________A. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.B. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.C. It draws great public attention across the country.D. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.29. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.D. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.30. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is ________.A. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaD. an ability to be developed only when you are students31. Where does this text probably come from? ________A. A science report.B. A news report.C. Children’s literature.D. An advertisement.DAmazon sells 1,161 kinds of toilet brushes. I know this because I recently spent an evening trying to choose one of them for the bathroom in my new apartment. Nearly an hour later, after having read countless contradictory (矛盾的) reviews and considering far too many choices, I felt tired and simply gave up. The next day, I happily bought the only toilet brush the local dollar store offered.Too many choices exhaust us, make us unhappy and lead us to sometimes flee from making a decision altogether. Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this “choice overload”. And it’s not just insignificant details like which brush to wipe the inside of the toilet with — having too many choices in our creative and professional lives can lead us to avoid making important decisions.Understanding how and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make better choices down the line. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. It’s caused by decision fatigue (疲劳). The mind can only sort through so many choices and make so many choices before it starts to run out of steam. That’s why impulse buys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout aisle in the grocery store can be hard to resist. We’ve exhausted all our good decision-making skills.The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only exhausts us; it can put us in a bad mood. That’s why it’s necessary to make your most important decisions in the morning rather than at the end of an exhausting day when your energy has been used up. The idiom “sleep on it” is indeed effective when it comes to making big decisions.When we’re tired, we tend to conserve our energy by making choices based on a single factor like price, rather than considering all the other determinants that go intomaking the best decision. When you’re doing this, you are acting as what researchers call a cognitive miser (小气鬼).To conclude, letting yourself have fewer choices to choose from can help you arrive at a more creative answer.32.Why did the author go to the local dollar store in the end?A. She saw no good toilet brushes in Amazon.B.She had got tired of the choices.C.She read good reviews about brushes there.D.She wanted to save some money.33.What can we learn about“choice overload”?A. It can benefit our creative thinking.B. It means learning too much at a time.C. It was first discovered by Barry Schwartz.D. It can stop us from making good decisions at work.34.What does the unde rlined idiom “sleep on it” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. To make a big decision regardless of sleepiness.B.To make decisions at the end of the day.C.To think carelessly about making a big decision.D.To put off making big decisions until the next day when you are not tired.35.What is the text mainly about?A.Having fewer choices may benefit us more.B.Reading reviews before shopping online is important.C.Getting enough sleep every day is helpful.D.Considering many factors to make a choice is unnecessary.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A“ I Went Skydiving at 84!”As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was anexperience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. didit at age 80.Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’ t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area closeto whereI would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought,“What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope otherpeople willlook at me and realize that you don’ t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’ s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’ s something that is possible, make it happen.1. What happened to the author in 2011?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride .D. She moved into a retirementcommunity.2. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to ___________.A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive3. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful4. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful cloudsB. The wonderful viewC. The company of JayD. The one-minute free fallBBrave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World (NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday's Daily News said 29-year Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, whohad dived in after him.“ I didn't think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “ It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, butrealized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off hiscoat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when shewas out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn'trealize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the citythe next morning. "I don't really think I'm a hero," said Duret. "Anyone would dothe same ting."5. Why was Duret in New York?A. To meet his girlfriend.B. To work as an engineer.C. To spend his holiday.D. To visit the Andersons.6. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A. He was interviewed by a newspaperB. He asked his girlfriend for his dryclothesC. He went to the hospital in the ambulanceD. He disappeared from the spot quickly7. Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?A. David AndersonB. A passer-byC. His girlfriendD. A taxi driver.8. When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?A. The day when he was leaving for home.B. A couple of days after the girl wasrescued.C. The first day when he was in New York.D. The same day when he was interviewed.CFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.9. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.10. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.11. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _____.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly12. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.B. Examples of the parent-teen war.C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.DModern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us intoanother world.There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.13. The new products become more and more time-saving because _____.A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limitedC. the prices are increasingly highD. the manufacturers boast a lot14. What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past times.B. Machinery and human beings.C. Imaginations and inventions.D. Modern technology and its influence. .第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ADear Students,I am delighted to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years.I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.1. The underlined word “ famine ”in Paragraph 2 means __________.A. pleasureB. joyC. luckD. extreme lack of food2. What can we learn about Rosa?A. She’ s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.B. She’ s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children.C. She’ s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.D. She’ s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.3. The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________.A. ChinaB. CanadaC. TurkeyD. India4. For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy?A. Their bravery.B. Their strong mind.C. Their age.D. Their luck.BAre you stuck in a job you don’t like? Many people hold ideas about jobs and careers that are holding them back. Let’s see the truth behind some career myths.A CV (简历) is the only way to get a job.To tell the truth, many employers don’t like or actually read CVs. Some employers would prefer to judge a person after a face-to-face meeting, or give them some part-time work first to see what they are truly like in the workplace.Having an up-to-date CV is important when applying for jobs advertised in the paper, from larger organizations, or when you want to leave some information about yourself for the employers.I have to make my decision now and stick to it.There is a great saying: “Life is a journey not a destination.” Journeys are full of options. You make and change your decisions all the time based on new experiences and information.Yes, you do have to make decisions, but you do not have to be limited by those career decisions by sticking to them. What’s more important is having a go and exploring new things.I can’t get into the work I like because there are too few opportunities.I have no doubt getting into work that you really want to do can be challenging. But I do also believe opportunities exist in most career areas because employment needs change all the time. One strategy I’d suggest if you can’t get your dream job is to go after what you want and grab any opportunity that moves you toward your dream job.It’s the school’s responsibility to talk about careers and work.Schools do have a part to play in providing career advice for students, but others also have a responsibility. I would suggest that a student-parent-school partnership approach is a far better way of looking at this. A lot of information is available on the internet, in the newspapers, through relatives and friends.5. The passage was written mainly to ___________.A. tell people how to get a good jobB. teach people how to behave in a job interviewC. correct some wrong ideas about looking for jobsD. introduce right attitudes towards work6. According to the passage, when you are looking for jobs a CV __________.A. is the most important thingB. is no longer popularC. should be given face to face.D. should contain your latest information7. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.A. students should use as many resources as possible when looking for a jobB. the school is the main source of career advice to studentsC. students should rely on relatives and friends to find a good jobD. information on the Internet is not necessarily trueCThe piano on which Mozart wrote all of his late works returned home to Vienna for the first time since his death in 1791. The piano will stand in his former Vienna home, now a museum, for two weeks, ending in a concert of the works by Mozart.Mozart bought the instrument from Anton Walter, the most famous piano maker of his time, in 1782. He wrote more than 50 works for the piano on it, many of them in the apartment in Vienna. After Mozart’s death, Constanze, Mozart’s wife, gave the instrument to their elder surviving son, Carl Thomas, who donated it to the Mozarteum Salzburg on what would have been the composer’s 100th birthday. The piano is now part of the permanent exhibition in the Austrian city of Salzburg.“ It was very hard to let it go,” said Matthias Schulz, director of the Mozarteum Salzburg. “ If we didn’ t know it was in the best hands, we wouldn’ t have done it.” The piano is much smaller and lighter than modern concert ones. Its sound is fresher and brighter than that of a modern piano, with lighter action and hammers (音锤).Piano restorer Josef Meingast, who has looked after the Mozart piano since 1975, said it was superior to any of its surviving copies. Meingast said he had to fight to replace the existing strings (琴键), dating from a 1973 restoration, with softer ones that produce a rounder sound thought to be more similar to what Mozart would have produced.Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov, who planned to give a concert of Mozart’ s music on the piano on November 7, said he was privileged to play such an instrument. It’s easily the biggest day of a musician’ s life.”8. According to the passage, the piano___________. .A. is now being owned by the Mozart familyB. has been kept by Carl Thomas since Mozart diedC. is much bigger and heavier than modern onesD. is part of the permanent exhibition in the city of Salzburg9. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The piano has never been repaired.B. Anton Walter was also a very famous pianist.C. Josef Meingast devoted himself to restoring the piano.D. Matthias Schulz doubted if the piano would be well looked af.10. How will Alexander Melnikov feel when playing that piano?A.UpsetB. HonoredC. FrightenedD. Creative11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Mozart’s piano returns home to Vinna.B. Mozart’s piano connects too many artists.C. Mozart’s piano reflects all his wonderful life.D. Mozart’s piano is restored to its original form.DKids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently p opular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!During the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans（喇叭裤）popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants（降落伞裤）all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Do you know why fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain（保持）their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today, brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality—not your clothes—speak for who you are！12. What does the example of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. Michael Jackson is a good designer.B. Stars are always influential.C. People have different dressing styles.D. Fashion always changes.13. What causes the changes of fashions?A. Advertisements change rapidly.B. Movie stars are changing over time.C. Popular culture influences people.D. New films and shows replace the old.14. What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph?A. The importance of having one’s own personality.B. The bad effects of following fashion.C. The good influences of popular styles.D. The advantages of staying unique.15. We can learn from the text that_____________.A. fashion is all about clothesB. clothes may separate and distance peopleC. the author has gone out of fashionD. people like imitating others’ dr essing style第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
