Not only because of her flawless performance, but also for the innocence she displayed while speaking with the media. Quan said her dream is to save enough money to treat her sick mother, buy snacks, and go to an entertainment park and a zoo.Were it not for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, Quan would not have participated in the Games as she only joined the national team last year. Quan is the third child of her parents who live in a village in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province. The city of Zhanjiang has been a cradle of elite Chinese divers through the years, producing the likes of Lao Lishi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games, and He Chong, who ranked first at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.During a visit to Maihe Primary School, Chen Huaming, the diving coach at Zhanjiang Sports School, noticed Quan was more agile (敏捷的) and jumped much higher than other kids. After giving her a try on a diving board, he instantly knew he had discovered a true talent. Quan was not the only youngster to impress Chen, but he admitted she was the one that always practiced the hardest.Now Quan has become a sporting sensation. Her previously quiet rural home has become a must-see place for not only locals, but also livestreaming hosts and business people, who come for various purposes, all of which are aimed at trying to capitalize on the national attention her success story has attracted.These uninvited guests have seriously disturbed the Quan family's daily life, and their worldly-wise sophistication (精明) is in stark contrast with the innocence of Quan. The government is duty-bound to extend a helping hand to protect the family from being disturbed, so that the young diving genius can focus more on her training and studies.4.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.Quan didn’t join the national team until this year.B.Quan, Lao Lishi and He Chong are all Olympic champions.C.Quan’s parents have 3 children who live in a village in Zhanjiang.D.Quan could have taken part in Tokyo’s Olympic Games if it had been held last year. 5.Why do livestreaming hosts and business people visit Quan’s home?A.Her quiet rural home has become a sporting sensation.B.They want to extend a helping hand to her poor family.C.It is a must-see tourist attraction in the city of Zhanjiang.D.They want to take advantage of the national attention she received.6.The author thinks the government should ________.A.help her poor family financially B.send her abroad to study diving C.help her family live a quiet life D.focus more on her training and studies 7.Which of the following words can best describe Quan?A.Hardworking and innocent.B.Honest and strong-willed.C.Smart and reliable.D.Easy-going and brave.At some point in our lives, we all snore. A cold or allergy can block nasal passages, a few drinks too close to bed will automatically relax tongue, palate and throat muscles—and therefore we know that we’re unconsciously forcing air past those soft tissues, causing vibrations that escape as a snore.“Snoring can be normal and not something to worry about,” said sleep specialist Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in the division of sleep medicine for Harvard Medical School. But snoring can also be a key sign of obstructive sleep apnea (阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停), a serious sleep disorder in which people actually stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a time. “When it’s loud snoring, or it’s interrupted by pauses in breathing, that’s where we start to get concerned,” Robbins said.It’s estimated that at least 25 million Americans and 936 people worldwide may sufferfrom obstructive sleep apnea, with many more undiagnosed. It’s called “obstructive sleep apnea” because unlike central sleep apnea —in which the brain occasionally skips telling the body to breathe — obstructive sleep apnea is due to a closure of the airways by weak, heavy or relaxed soft tissues.“You’re making the effort with your belly and your chest to try to get the air in and out, but because of the block in the upper airway, you can’t. Often you aren’t aware of this struggle, but it can be very, very scary for anyone watching,” said sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea puts you at a high risk for hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or depression, even an early death, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.8.What’s Rebecca Robbins’s attitude towards snoring?A.Indifferent.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Positive. 9.According to the passage, what’s the reason for obstructive sleep apnea?A.Bad sleeping habits.B.Blocked breathing organs. C.Infection from family members.D.Unhealthy eating habits.10.What can we infer from the passage?A.Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea have been diagnosed.B.Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea realize their breathing difficulties. C.There is no need to worry about any type of snoring.D.Obstructive sleep apnea may lead to a variety of diseases.11.What will the author write about in the following paragraph of the passage?A.The dangers of obstructive sleep apnea.B.The history of American Academy of Sleep Medicine.C.The importance for people to realize the existence of obstructive sleep apnea.D.The scientific methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea.Back in 1933, a man called George Spicer and his wife were driving along a road near Loch Ness. Suddenly, a weird animal with a long neck crossed in front of the car...or so the Spicers claimed. Ever since then, the Loch Ness monster has been a household name, although myths of a terrifying creature in the Loch date back to the Dark Ages.Since the Spicers’ experience, scientists have been wondering whether such an animalmight really exist in the Loch’s murky depths. Research teams have patiently watched Loch Ness’s surface for weeks at a time, submarines have explored its deep, dark waters, and underwater cameras and sonar have searched for it. Most of this work happened from the 1960s to 1980s, during a ‘golden age’ of Nessie hunting.Yet no monster has been found. Nevertheless, there have been more than 1,000 reported sightings in total, and every year tourists visit the Loch in the hope of catching a glimpse of a monster. But there is no reason to think that anyone has really seen Nessie. Instead, they have seen seals, birds, swimming deer and unusual waves.Despite this, the idea that Nessie might be real is still popular. So earlier this year, Professor Neil Gemmell from the University of Otage in New Zealand led a trip to Loch Ness, using a new scientific technique to find Nessie and solve the mystery once and for all. He set out to search for something called ‘environmental DNA’, or eDNA for short.EDNA has helped us find all kinds of rare, shy and even extinct animals and plants, so Gemmell wondered if eDNA could be collected from samples of water taken from different points of Loch Ness. He put together a research team, raised the money needed to complete the project , and set to work. Right now, we are still waiting for the results from Gemmell’s project. But even if eDNA for Nessie is not discovered, the project is still useful, because it could help provide a complete list of every plant and animal species living in Loch Ness. 12.What’s the meaning of the underlined word?A.Uneasy.B.Dark.C.Dizzy.D.Untrue. 13.Which method was not used during the 1960s and 1980s to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster?A.Observation over the Loch Ness surface.B.Submarine exploration.C.Fishing activities.D.Underwater technical devices. 14.What can we infer from the passage?A.The Loch Ness monster has been witnessed many times.B.People who claim to have seen the Loch Ness monster may have been mistaken. C.EDNA was used for the first time in the search for the Loch Ness monster.D.The project of Gemmell will be considered a failure if evidence of Nessie is not found. 15.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Will We Ever Find Nessie?B.Are the Sightings of Nessie Real?C.Return of the ‘Golden Age’ for Hunting the Sea Monster.D.New Evidence of Nessie Found by New Zealand Scientists.二、七选五A research paper is a long essay in which writers present their perspective on a topic using independent sources. It is a proven fact that finding reliable and valid sources for research papers is your first and primary task. ____16____ Here’s how to gather the information from sources before you start writing.Is the author a respected authority in the field?The credibility of an author is very important in determining the quality of sources.____17____ But such claims must be confirmed. Look for the author’s academic background, and professional associations. You can search the web for the author or search DISCOVERY to see what also the author has written.Is the publisher reputable?University and academic presses publish high-quality material that has beenpeer-reviewed. Experts assess the merits of the paper before it is published, which ensures its quality. ____18____ Government or educational sites — ones that have names with gov or edu — are usually reliable.Does the source contain any bias?Bias is not necessarily disqualifying, but you need to determine whether the source favors a certain side of an issue. For example, if an article says that petrol companies do not represent a danger to the environment, check what other sources are cited. If most of the sources are from oil companies, there is probably bias.____19____In general, sources should be within the past 10 years for subjects in which information changes quickly (science, technology, medicine). Consider whether the age of a source adversely affects its usefulness to your research. No matter what the date of publication is, it is your responsibility to be sure that all of your sources contain information that is relevant and accurate.Now that you have your notes from your sources, it is time to write your first draft, and you must include specific information from your source to support your ideas. ____20____— but if you can collect the right resources from the start, you’re halfway there!A.How current is the information?B.Does the author agree or disagree with my ideas?C.If you are using a website, make sure it is reputable.D.Putting together a top-grade essay is a demanding task.E.Many people on the Internet describe themselves as experts.F.Although it is not a simple or quick process, it is possible to do it on your own. G.When using a computer for searching sources, make sure to respect the library’s policies.三、完形填空When Jacob Kohut finally had some time off during his 12-hour shift standing guard outside the U. S.

Her idea won a European Union prize that came with €10,000($12,120)."I heard about a French initiative(计划), where people go to the pharmacy (药房) and ask for a special mask that lets the pharmacist know they are a victim of domestic violence," Krystyna Paszko explained. "I thought it was so brilliant!" In April, she decided to open her shop "Camomiles and Pansies" to sell those cosmetics. When a victim writes asking to buy a cream, a psychologist responds instead of a salesperson and asks how long the "skin problems" have been going on for. If someone places an order and leaves an address, it is actually a code asking for authorities to visit their home.After Krystyna openly wrote about her plan on her own Facebook page, she was flooded with questions. "I thought it would only be for my friends, but the shares on Facebook were big and it became a hit," she said. With so much interest, she contacted the Women's Rights Centre, a Polish NGO, asking for assistance. In response it provided psychologists and lawyers to work with the website. Since its launch, more than 350 people have contacted the website. Most of the victims are young, under 40, and about 10% are male. The president of the Women's Rights Centre, Urszula Nowakowska, said she was "very impressed" by Krystyna's project. "There are around 70,000 domestic violence cases annually in Poland, of which 56, 000 are treated as family conflicts rather than crimes."Krystyna credits her interest in human rights to her role in the scouts(童子军)—she leads a Warsaw scout group and created its Facebook page. After she won the prize, she claimed to put the money to good use and was pleased that a spotlight was being shone on the problem of home abuse.4.What might have inspired Krystyna with the idea?A.The decreasing domestic violence cases.B.The French initiative to sell special masks.C.The urge to win the European Union prize.D.The advice from a professional psychologist.5.How can a victim get help from Krystyna's project?A.By appearing to be shopping online. B.By requesting psychological support. C.By purchasing a specially-made cream. D.By logging on a fake account to place orders.6.What can we know about the website mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.Krystyna shared its success on Facebook.B.A Polish NGO offered financial assistance to it.C.It classifies domestic violence as family conflicts.D.Young female victims have benefited most from it.7.Which of the following words best describe Krystyna?A.Caring and easy-going. B.Supportive and tolerant. C.Courageous and humorous. D.Sympathetic and intelligent.College debt is becoming as much of a problem for Americans close to retirement as it is for new graduates. There are now about 8. 7 million Americans aged over 50 who are still paying off college loans. They took out either to pay for an education for their children or themselves. Their debt is growing fast, increasing by about half since 2017 to a total of $ 370 billion — an average of $ 40,900 per borrower. In2019, roughly $4.9 billion was deducted(扣除) right from retirees' Social Security income.Part of the blame falls on the federally backed PLUS program, said Tara Siegel Bernard in The New York Times. "Parent PLUS loans", which have few application requirements other than a basic credit check, have broadened access to capital for many parents. But the "loans can be unforgiving". William and Kate Schweizer "didn't want their two daughters to begin their adult lives burdened with college debt". So they borrowed $220,000 for their schooling. Increasingly they had trouble paying. Now their debt has ballooned to $500,000. The consequences of defaulting(拖欠) are serious: "The government can take their wages and Social Security."Unfortunately, President Biden's $6 trillion budget doesn't offer much assistance, said Eric Levitz in NYMag. com. During his campaign, "Biden called for forgiving $10, 000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower" among other ways to ease the college debt burden. But the chances of passing such measures through Congress are slim.Don't bankrupt yourself for your kids, said Beth Akers in USA Today. The safer option to pay for college is "a student loan taken out in your child's name". A federal student loan —not a private one — can protect borrowers through income-driven repayment programs. There is also a better chance that a loan forgiveness program could materialize to help out student borrowers. And remember that "if you overextend yourself financially to make a college dream come true for your child, you are taking away your ability to be your child's financial backstop."8.How does the author illustrate his point in Paragraph 1?A.By listing statistics. B.By giving examples.C.By making comparisons. D.By using quotes.9.What is the disadvantage of Parent PLUS loans?A.They have demanding requirements.B.They can trap parents in financial crises.C.They are not enough to cover college costs.D.They set limits on how much one can borrow.10.What does Eric Levitz think of President Biden's $ 6 trillion budget?A.It is flexible. B.It is tight. C.It is beneficial. D.It is impractical. 11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Americans Are Burdened by College DebtB.Student Loans: A Stepping Stone to CollegeC.Lessons in Finance Help Repay Student LoansD.Debt: College Costs Swallow Retirement Nest EggsWhat is the most shocking about heatwaves is not merely that they have hit a usually temperate area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, the temperature reached 46.6℃(116℃)— making it one of several cities in the region where previous records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9℃).Heatwaves may generate headlines, but less attention is paid to them than they deserve. In 2018 roughly 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, a 54% increase since 2000. Unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures. Its victims are often apparent only when statisticians add up excess deaths andhospital admissions. The fact that as many as 70,000 people died as a result of a heatwave in Europe in 2003, for example, became apparent only in 2008. Heat also worsens conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed to it.To protect people against extreme heat, governments can set up early-warning systems to alert health workers, shut down schools and suspend outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Whatever our strategy, we should get to it, because the prognosis is not good. According to a report by NRDC, the total number of excessive heat days in the United States will increase to more than eight times the baseline level by the end of the century.The world is, understandably, focused on a different health crisis right now. But heatwaves pose an entirely foreseeable threat in the decades to come. The timing and severity of the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情)could not have been foreseen. These other far more predictable and preventable crises are different. There is no excuse for failing to take them more seriously.12.What is the most surprising about heatwaves?A.How large the affected regions are.B.How greatly human health is impacted.C.How much higher the temperature records go.D.How many temperature records have been beaten.13.What can we learn about the heat from Paragraph 2?A.It is a mild headache. B.It is an underrated problem.C.It causes apparent destruction. D.It causes widespread concern. 14.What does the underlined word "prognosis" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Forecast. B.Intention. C.Harvest. D.Response. 15.Why is the coronavirus pandemic mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To warn people of unforeseen health risks.B.To illustrate how extreme heat threatens us.C.To stress the necessity of addressing the heat.D.To draw attention to the severity of health crises.二、七选五Strategies to Help Build Self-Regulation SkillsSelf-regulation is the ability that helps us to control our behaviors to make good decisions for the long-term, rather than just doing what we want in the moment.16.The good news is that kids can learn to improve their self-regulation.Discuss scenarios(场景). Talk about real-life incidents that encourage learners to stop and think about managing their behaviors. You might say, "Someone is kicking the back of your chair during a test and it's really annoying you. What do you do?" Have students talk in small groups or partners.17.Using scenarios can help students train their brains for how to think through problems as they happen.Set self-reflection time. Every student needs to work on different things. Some concentrate on grades, while others focus more on behavior or attendance. Set self-reflection time and meet weekly with students. Discuss progress made, challenges, and next steps for the future.18.This can slowly help them develop the ability to self-reflect and self-regulate in the future.19.Design an area in the room for students to go who need a few minutes to themselves. It's important to teach that the area is a place to self- regulate and get in control of emotions so we can return to our normal days. Tell students that it's normal and healthy to need a break once in a while.Use literature. Picture books are a great way to introduce and discuss self-regulation skills at all levels. Even my middle schoolers loved when I got the picture books out for a read-aloud! With whatever books you choose, make sure to highlight the self-regulation skills the characters use.20.A.Give movement breaks.B.Create a calm down space.C.Most of all, try to let students take the lead!D.Discuss how they relate to your students' lives.E.Share about how they might handle those situations.F.Consider consulting with the school social worker for extra support.G.However, working on self-regulation skills doesn't happen overnight.三、完形填空I have been reading books for as long as I can remember. I have always loved to read and never thought 21 about this hobby—until I heard that some people considerreading to be “nerdy”. When did having a22 for reading become associated with being a so-called nerd(书呆子)? People who 23 others for their love of novels just don't understand what bookworms experience when reading stories. They don't 24 the feeling of wonder and amazement that comes from these paper pages, the 25 roller coaster the stories set us on.Books are like loyal friends—always 26 for the day you decide enough is enough in the real world. You take their hand and 27 into a whole other universe with them. Throughout my life, I have managed to get through tough times by disappearing into a book, into the story of another 28 .

D.It saves you time for cooking.BPerhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4.What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A.Fenn's announcement. B.A poem in Fenn's book.C.Fenn’s vivid description.D.A photo on Fenn's website.5.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.Who Forrest Fenn was. B.Where Fenn hid the treasure.C.How the treasure hunt began. D.What Fenn did to find the treasure.6.What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A.It was in Yellowstone National Park.B.It was found by someone by chance.C.It was moved from one place to another.D.It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7.What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Taking. B.Burying. C.Protecting. D.Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8.Why did the author not continue her social activities?A.To pay off her debt. B.To accompany her sons.C.To realize her sons' goals. D.To save money for their vacation.9.What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A.Quit. B.Afford.C.Maintain. D.Rent.10.What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A.It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B.It shows the true meaning of happiness.C.It finds fault with current spending habits.D.It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11.What would the best title probably be?A.The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB.Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C.Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD.Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12.What has happened to Taal Volcano?A.It attracts more and more visitors. B.It becomes quieter and quieter.C.It is covered with ash completely. D.It causes bad effects on the locals.13.What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A.To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B.To save sacks for factories to use.C.To set up a factory for making bricks. D.To build communities for people from disasters. 14.What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A.Companies are expected to donate money.B.Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C.Batangas has been the most misfortune.D.Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B.Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C.Disasters always hit the Philippines. D.The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

AHot Spots for Retirees to Start Their Encore CareerEncore Career: Vocational School InstructorRetire in: Los Angeles, CAEver since IBM CEO Ginni Rometty coined the term “new collar” to describe well-paid jobs that require specific skills but not necessarily a degree, vocational schools have made a serious comeback. Apparently instructors are in short supply in sunny L.A., where there are 13 jobs at vocational schools for every applicant on the market. This is a great opportunity for skilled retirees since, unlike teaching at a public school that requires a state certificate, the only requirement here is that you be a seasoned expert in your field.Encore Career: Business ConsultantRetire in: Miami, FLConsulting is a great option for a retired business professional looking to make their own hours, be their own boss, and earn as much or as little as needed to maintain their standard of living. For every consultant in Miamiri ght now there are 13 businesses hoping to hire them. There’s even greater demand here than in Washington D.C., which is typically considered the consulting capital of the world.Encore Career: Tourist WranglerRetire in: Austin, TXAs the economy continues to boom and more Americans have extra income to spend, the tourism industry has taken off. This is particularly true in Austin, TX, where there were astonishing 36 tourism jobs for every applicant in July. Between four-star hotels, the noisy rock n’ roll scene, and a new food culture, Austin is the place to be if you want to work in service industry.Encore Career: Supporter of the ArtsRetire in: Charleston, SCIf you’re a Baby Boomer with a degree in the arts, now could be the perfect time to revisit your passion for creativity, especially if you also want to live in the center of southern charm. Between the 14 art galleries on King Street in Old Town, an abundance of acting companies and theaters, and music festivals, it’s not surprising there were 25 jobs for every arty applicant iii Charleston.21. Which career focuses on an applicant’s skills instead of a diploma?A. V ocational School Instructor.B. Business Consultant.C. Tourist Wrangler.D. Supporter of the Arts.22 Which city offers an applicant more job options than the others?A. Los Angeles.B. Miami.C. Austin.D. Charleston.23. Who is the text intended for?A. Children.B. Graduates.C. Retirees.D. Tourists.BIt was rush hour on the m orning of June 1 in the West Texas city of San Angelo. Heather Santellano, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on Houston、Harte Frontage Road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year- old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Santellano turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda skidding off the road and down an embankment(堤)that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would go airborne and plunge onto the road some 20 feet below.Then a bit of luck: As the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck on the cement lip of theembankment ledge, stopping it cold. The occupants, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall, literally teetering(摇摇欲坠)on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could send it over.Jacob Rodriguez watched the scene unfold from the ‘T’ruck Repair Plant where he works. Then he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.Meanwhile, Julio Vasquez and his nephew, Marco Vasquez, were driving to their jabs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a heavy-duty strap(皮带),and returned to the swinging car. He fastened the Mazda to an P-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out.But their departure shifted the car’s weight, causing it to lean forward. The men, st ill on-the trunk, asked Santellano to jump into the back seat to rebalance the weight. She did and then inched out the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk.

Love makes the world go round.CAndrew Grey doesn't fit most people's idea of an astronomer. He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a star system hiding in data from NASA's Kepler space telescope.Mr. Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding. For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization (民主化) to science.“This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in,” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and co-founder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects. Citizen scientists can contribute to breakthroughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics.“As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project,” Lintott says. “Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial. Machine learning allows computers to do some pattern recognition. But humans, particularly amateur scientists, don't stay focused on what they're supposed to. And that's good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”“And citizen science doesn't have to be directed by a scientist,” says Sheila Jas anoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University. “Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists,” she says. That's what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests that caused a broader investigation of lead levels.Citizen-powered research is as old as scientific inquiry. For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them. Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welcome help from everyday people.As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that we're intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”28.What made citizen scientists appear?A.The high level of science projects.B.The development of technology.C.The support of the government.D.The foundation of Zooniverse.29.What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines?A.Humans can identify patterns more swiftly.B.Humans focus their attention on data.C.Humans can observe uncommon things.D.Humans have stronger emotions.30.What is Lintott's attitude towards citizen science?A.Favorable. B.Cautious.C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.31.What would be the best title of the text?A.Citizen Scientists Can Be IntelligentB.Science Is Important to EveryoneC.Anyone Can Be a ScientistD.Science Is EverywhereDIt seems that the great de sire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in newdirections in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.I k now that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makesa young non-conformist stand out like a Martian. These days there’s a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Well, go to it. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.32.Why was the author worried about his daughter’s popularity in her new school?A. She might find no true friends.B. She would ignore her academic performance.C. She had no idea of her own.D. She might betray her true self.33.What does the author think of most teenagers?A. They’re afraid of getting lost in life.B. They have difficulty understanding each other.C. They lack the courage to be truly different.D. They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.34.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "non-conformist" in Paragraph 4?A. Someone who cares about others’ opinion.B. Someone who desires popularity greatly.C. Someone who behaves in his own way.D. Someone who wants to please others.35.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.B. To tell parents how to guide their children.C. To criticize the present values and beliefs.D. To suggest a good way to be popular.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn.Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information.36 The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren't contagious(传染的),but they can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes,like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles,too.Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.37Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It's very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability.But kids don't have to figure all this out on their own.38 Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.39 But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you're facing,you're on the right track.Now,you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.To make this special help really work,you'll need to practise the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.40 Soon,you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work:More fun and success at school!A.As a result,some people learn differently.B.What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.C.That can be a challenge,but you can do it.D.You might feel different from everyone else.E.There are people who know how to do just that.F.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.G.But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
