AWhether you are entering the job market for the first time or you are already at work, you have to know the various fields where you can work and the types of jobs available per field. Now it is time that you gained basic knowledge about ten common fields of work and some types of jobs in that field. Here they are:Technology JobsThe technology field is always growing very fast, so job growth in the field is also constantly booming. Here, you are always in the cutting-edge. However, you always have to update your skills when you are working in technology. Engineering and IT graduates are people who primarily do work related to technology.Education JobsHere is a field which allows you to share your knowledge with others. You need subject-matter knowledge and teaching skills to be in this field. Most of all, you need plenty of hearts. While the everyday life teachers may be tiring, education is one of the most fulfilling (令人满意的) fields to enter. You may need some certifications, though.Healthcare JobsHealthcare professions enable you to use a great knowledge base of the human body and of latest health advances so you can save lives, provide comfort, cure illness, and maintain people’s health. Work here is often done in hospitals and private clinics.Science and MathematicsDiscovering new knowledge is the primary task of scientists and mathematicians. Training here takes a long time and goes beyond getting a bachelor’s degree. However, the work will be fulfilling, especially that you may be at the edges of revolutionary discoveries. You can also use any experience and research skills acquired in either field to work in regular employment settings.21. When you are in search of a job ________________.A. you should have gained work experienceB. you should know yourself wellC. you should be expert in different job fieldsD. you should have a good command of technology22. If you want to become a teacher you should be _______________.A. efficientB. unwillingC. patientD. pessimistic23.

If you take interest in medicine you will choose ___________.A. Science and MathematicsB. Education JobsC. Technology JobsD. Healthcare Jobs25. What is the first aim of scientists and mathematicians?A. Training for a long time.B. Using experience and research skills.C. Discovering new knowledge.D. Getting a bachelor’s degree.BOne of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowth orne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book－lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414, 825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.26．According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary______．A．came out before Minor diedB．was edited by an American volunteerC．included the English words invented by MurrayD．was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary27．How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary?A．He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.B．He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C．He provided a great number of words and quotations.D．He went to England to work with Murray.28．Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because______．A．they both served in the Civil WarB．they had a common interest in wordsC．Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD．Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor29．Which of the following best describes Dr. Minor?A．Brave and determined. B．Cautious and friendly.C．Considerate and optimistic. D．Unusual and scholarly.30．What does the text mainly talk about?A．The history of the English language.B．The friendship between Murray and Minor.C．Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.D．Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.CLast week I went to a different grocery store. When I was just to check out, the person in front of me at the checkout was using a WIC card to check out and it kept telling her that it wasn’t working. A manager came over and told her to come to a different register(收银机); maybe this one was the problem. After I checked out, I noticed she was still there, trying to get her card to work.It was obvious that the young woman was getting anxious about the purchase so I offered to pay for her purchase. She was shocked. She thanked me and I went on my way with a smile from her.Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes and you never know when it will be your turn. Today I found that it was indeed my turn.I went boating north of the city. It was a very hot, sunny day so I brought a large bottle of sports drink, thinking it would be plenty to drink. I didn’t have a clear expectation of the drain(消耗) which the heat would have on me. Before I got back to shore, I realized that I had finished the bottle. I still had to get back, load the boat on the car, and it would be at least a 10-minute drive to somewhere to buy more to drink. When I got back to shore and managed to drag my boat to the car and get it tied, I was very hot and thirsty. So, I swallowed my pride and asked a family picnicking nearby if they had an extra bottle of water, which they gladly gave me. That bottle of water wasn’t a big deal to them, but it meant a great deal to me.The little things that can be done for others don’t usually seem important to the people doing them, but it can be huge to the receivers. Many thanks to all the joyfu l givers who don’t think twice about helping others.31. The author helped the woman because_______.A. the author wanted to shock herB. her card for payment didn’t workC. the register in the store was out of orderD. the author had enough money to help others32. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that________.A. the author offered his own water to othersB. the author didn’t know his water had run outC. the author wasn’t well prepared for his boatingD. the author was helped by the family also boating there33. How did the author most probably feel when asking others for a bottle of water?A. EmbarrassedB. ProudC. FrightenedD. Curious34. What does the author think of little kind things?A. It takes great effort for people to do them.B. They must be done after careful consideration.C. They can make a big difference to the receivers.D. They always mean a lot to people who do them.35. The text is written mainly to _________.A. introduce two experiences of the authorB. tell us not to be shy to receive others’ helpC. remind us to smile at others in our daily lifeD. encourage us not to hesitate to help others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。

He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup. Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.”She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.“Father, what does this mean?”she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)——the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.25.

Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy.

They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.In order to exploit (开发) new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. They continued to speak as they had done in England.As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. The Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented lots of new words to meet their commercial (贸易的) needs.Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the president, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编纂) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.English in America has developed a character of its own, showing the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing.
