Heroes Stamp Design Competition
Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14 years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning school too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情). The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微生物) design for a stamp. The final stamps will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider
● Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form which your teacher will give you.
● Your design must be your own original work.
● Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.
● Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.
● Please avoid using highlighter pens.

The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.

In the 19th century, tuberculosis (肺结核) epidemics were spreading over Europe and the United States, killing an estimated one out of seven people. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates called it “the most considerable of the diseases.”
The fight against tuberculosis reached a turning point on March 24, 1882, in a small meeting room of the German Physiological Society at Berlin. A doctor named Robert Koch used more than 200 microscopic preparations to identify the bacterium that causes tuberculosis: tubercle bacillus.
In 1872, Koch took up the post of district physician in what is today Wolsztyn, Poland. His patients, many of them farmers, were dying from anthrax, an illness that destroyed their cows.
Koch set out to solve the anthrax riddle. First, Koch visited anthrax-stricken farms to observe the cows. He witnessed how a healthy animal would die in a matter of days as its blood turned black. People in close contact with sick cows and sheep also fell ill. Examining drops of black blood from dead cows under his microscope, Koch spotted structures shaped like thin grains of rice, which blood from healthy animals did not have. These germs were Bacillus anthracis.
To see if the bacteria were the cause of the illness, Koch designed his own testing methods. First, he soaked (浸泡) a wood splinter (碎片) with a sick animal’s blood; then he made a small cut at the base of each mouse’s tail and inserted (插入) the splinter into their bodies. The next morning, the mice were dead. When Koch checked their bodies, he found the same microscopic structures in their blood.
In 1880, Koch’s team perfected his plate technique (技术) for generating pure cultures of bacteria, which was crucial in identifying the cause of tuberculosis. In 1890, he announced he had found the cure for tuberculosis. He called the medicine tuberculin, a substance taken from tubercle bacilli. The news gave rise to enormous hope around the world, but tuberculin turned out to be a major disappointment. More than ineffective, it even contributed to the death of some patients. To this day, no completely effective vaccine for tuberculosis has been found, but tuberculin has become a crucial part of testing for the disease.
4. Why does the author mention Hippocrates in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the spread of tuberculosis.
B. To show the huge impact of tuberculosis.
C. To explain the concept of tuberculosis.
D. To describe the history of tuberculosis.
5. What did the turning point suggest
A People found a cure for anthrax.
B. Fewer people died from tuberculosis.
C. Tuberculosis-causing bacteria were recognized.
D. Anthrax stopped spreading beyond animals.
6. How did Koch identify the cause of anthrax
A. He fed a mouse with a dead cow’s food.
B. He inserted a wood splinter into a cow’s tail.
C. He infected healthy mice with a sick animal’s blood.
D. He examined a dead person’s blood under his microscope.
7. What can we learn about the medicine Koch invented
A. It has cured many people.
B. It was taken from healthy people.
C. It was an effective tuberculosis vaccine.
D. It has been used in testing for tuberculosis.
C
Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager. It means you are responsible for yourself and don’t need your parents’ permission any more. However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult. Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions. While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree.
While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around l8, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed. The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.
Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify (使……具有资格) san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.
In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state-sponsored support. These children are forced into a life where they have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.
Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward considering 25 as an age for adulthood
A. Cautious. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
9. How does the prefrontal cortex work to help people set and achieve goals
A. By dealing with received signals and responding accordingly.
B. By collecting information from other parts of the body.
C. By sending instructions to different regions of the brain
D. By transporting sensed emotions and making records
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Give a definition of adulthood.
B. Stress the importance of family support.
C. Prove not everyone lives a fortunate life.
D. Show opinion on becoming an adult is divided
11. What is one standard qualifying you as an adult according to the author
A. Setting up a family.
B. Being responsible for your study.
C. Accepting and learning from the low moments in life.
D. Buying yourself quality things to live.
D
Teenagers across the world eagerly await the day they become legal adults, to be free from the dependence of their parents and to practice the full rights of their citizenship. The situation is no different in South Korea. Here, the legal age of adulthood is 19. Ten years ago, the legal age was 20, but this was lowered by a year in 2013 based on recognition of the early maturity of modern teenagers. Now, from their 19th birthday onwards, South Korean teenagers can vote, get married and work full-time.
Unlike most other countries, the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthood with an official “Coming-of-Age Day”, which falls on every third Monday of May. Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (服装) reserved for male adults in 965.
By the late Jose on Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds. In this period, one of the most symbolic changes that adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing (飘逸的) hair into a topknot (结) and cover it with at all black hat made of horsehair; likewise, girls put their hair, which they let fall as single braids (辫子) in youth, up into an eat knot and set it with a long hairpin (发簪).
Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modem way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.
12. What led to the legal age of adulthood being lowered by a year in South Korea
A. The requirement for youth’s earlier practice of voting rights.
B. The determination to satisfy teenagers’ expectations.
C. The plan to reduce economic pressure on families.
D. The realization of youth’s earlier maturity.
13. Who received South Korea’s first recorded coming-of-age celebration according to the text
A. Frince Wang Ju.
B. King Gwangjong.
C. An upper-class 15-year-old in the Jose on Dynasty.
D. A middle-class 15-year-old in the Goryeo Dynasty.
14. What marked the important change in celebrating adulthood during the Jose on Dynasty
A. A new type of hairstyle B. A specific birthday outfit.
C. Making one’s own hat with horsehair. D. Replacing short hairpins with long ones.
15. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. Publicly-held ceremonies require group application.
B. Traditional ceremonies should be more widely practiced.
C. Teenagers nowadays prefer to celebrate adulthood at home.
D. Society has seen broadening ways of adulthood celebration.

Becky Darig had always had a fascination with the cinema, and by the time she was nine years old, she knew she wanted to be an actress, shine on the big screen and be a star When Becky was seventeen, she unexpectedly got her break into show business, but she never imagined that her golden opportunity would turn her life and her family’s upside down.
It all started when Becky’s friend Anna spotted a call for teens to audition (试镜) for roles in a new TV show, which was also looking for a double for the lead actress. “You’d be perfect!” cried Anna. “And you’ve always wanted to be an actress. This could be your opportunity!” “I don’t know, Anna,” said Becky. “I have no experience!” Anna shook her head and said: “You know what my grandma said Nothing ventured (冒险), nothing gained. You’ve got to try! I’ll come with you if you’re scared!”
Becky accepted her offer, and the next day the two girls were at the audition along with hundreds of other teens. The other hopefuls were all beautiful, and from their conversation, Becky could tell that they all had experience in acting. She was sure she would be knocked out immediately, but Anna kept telling her that she would be fine.
Finally, it was Becky’s turn, and she stepped into the room in front of the producers and the director. At the sight of Becky, the director’s mouth dropped open, and the producers stared whispering together excitedly. Becky introduced herself and started reading from the lines she had been handed in the hallway, but the director waved a hand.
“Becky Is that your name ” he said. “We don’t need to hear anymore...” Becky felt her eyes fill with tears. She was so bad they didn’t even want her to finish the reading! Then the man said: “You’re hired(雇佣). You’ll be Jenna Marlow’s double.”
Becky understood the producers and the director’s amazement the next day when she met the new series’ leading lady, Jenna Marlow.

In the 19th century, tuberculosis (肺结核) epidemics were spreading over Europe and the United States, killing an estimated one out of seven people. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates called it “the most considerable of the diseases.”
The fight against tuberculosis reached a turning point on March 24, 1882, in a small meeting room of the German Physiological Society at Berlin. A doctor named Robert Koch used more than 200 microscopic preparations to identify the bacterium that causes tuberculosis: tubercle bacillus.
In 1872, Koch took up the post of district physician in what is today Wolsztyn, Poland. His patients, many of them farmers, were dying from anthrax, an illness that destroyed their cows.
Koch set out to solve the anthrax riddle. First, Koch visited anthrax-stricken farms to observe the cows. He witnessed how a healthy animal would die in a matter of days as its blood turned black. People in close contact with sick cows and sheep also fell ill. Examining drops of black blood from dead cows under his microscope, Koch spotted structures shaped like thin grains of rice, which blood from healthy animals did not have. These germs were Bacillus anthracis.
To see if the bacteria were the cause of the illness, Koch designed his own testing methods. First, he soaked (浸泡) a wood splinter (碎片) with a sick animal’s blood; then he made a small cut at the base of each mouse’s tail and inserted (插入) the splinter into their bodies. The next morning, the mice were dead. When Koch checked their bodies, he found the same microscopic structures in their blood.
In 1880, Koch’s team perfected his plate technique (技术) for generating pure cultures of bacteria, which was crucial in identifying the cause of tuberculosis. In 1890, he announced he had found the cure for tuberculosis. He called the medicine tuberculin, a substance taken from tubercle bacilli. The news gave rise to enormous hope around the world, but tuberculin turned out to be a major disappointment. More than ineffective, it even contributed to the death of some patients. To this day, no completely effective vaccine for tuberculosis has been found, but tuberculin has become a crucial part of testing for the disease.
4. Why does the author mention Hippocrates in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the spread of tuberculosis.
B. To show the huge impact of tuberculosis.
C. To explain the concept of tuberculosis.
D. To describe the history of tuberculosis.
5. What did the turning point suggest
A. People found a cure for anthrax.
B. Fewer people died from tuberculosis.
C. Tuberculosis-causing bacteria were recognized.
D. Anthrax stopped spreading beyond animals.
6. How did Koch identify the cause of anthrax
A. He fed a mouse with a dead cow’s food.
B. He inserted a wood splinter into a cow’s tail.
C. He infected healthy mice with a sick animal’s blood.
D. He examined a dead person’s blood under his microscope.
7. What can we learn about the medicine Koch invented
A. It has cured many people.
B. It was taken from healthy people.
C. It was an effective tuberculosis vaccine.
D. It has been used in testing for tuberculosis.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“To see if the bacteria were the cause of the illness, Koch designed his own testing methods. First, he soaked (浸泡) a wood splinter (碎片) with a sick animal’s blood; then he made a small cut at the base of each mouse’s tail and inserted (插入) the splinter into their bodies. The next morning, the mice were dead. When Koch checked their bodies, he found the same microscopic structures in their blood.(为了确定细菌是否是致病的原因，Koch设计了他自己的测试方法。首先，他用病畜的血浸泡一块木片；然后，他在每只老鼠的尾巴底部切了一个小口，把碎片插入它们的身体里。第二天早上，老鼠都死了。当Koch检查他们的身体时，他在他们的血液中发现了相同的微观结构。)”可知，Koch将病畜的血浸泡一块木片，然后将木皮插入健康老鼠的身体，然后确定了致病菌。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In 1890, he announced he had found the cure for tuberculosis. He called the medicine tuberculin, a substance taken from tubercle bacilli. The news gave rise to enormous hope around the world, but tuberculin turned out to be a major disappointment. More than ineffective, it even contributed to the death of some patients. To this day, no completely effective vaccine for tuberculosis has been found, but tuberculin has become a crucial part of testing for the disease.( 1890年，他宣布他找到了治疗肺结核的方法。他把这种药称为结核菌素，一种从结核杆菌中提取的物质。这一消息给全世界带来了巨大的希望，但结核菌素却令人大失所望。它不仅无效，甚至导致了一些病人的死亡。到目前为止，还没有发现完全有效的结核病疫苗，但结核菌素已成为结核病检测的关键部分。)”可知，Koch发明的药并不能治疗肺结核，但是成为了结核病检测的关键部分。故选D。

Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager. It means you are responsible for yourself and don’t need your parents’ permission any more. However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult. Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions. While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree.
While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around l8, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed. The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.
Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify (使……具有资格) san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.
In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state-sponsored support. These children are forced into a life where they have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.
Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward considering 25 as an age for adulthood
A. Cautious. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
9 How does the prefrontal cortex work to help people set and achieve goals
A. By dealing with received signals and responding accordingly.
B. By collecting information from other parts of the body.
C. By sending instructions to different regions of the brain
D. By transporting sensed emotions and making records
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Give a definition of adulthood.
B. Stress the importance of family support.
C. Prove not everyone lives a fortunate life.
D. Show opinion on becoming an adult is divided
11. What is one standard qualifying you as an adult according to the author
A. Setting up a family.
B. Being responsible for your study.
C. Accepting and learning from the low moments in life.
D. Buying yourself quality things to live.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍关于什么时候算是成年了，人们有着不同的观点，有些观点是根据科学理论，而有些是个人观点，作者也提出了自己的见解。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree. (虽然目前的年龄是18岁，但科学支持25岁是更明智的成年年龄，我同意这一观点。)”可知，对于将25岁视为成年年龄，作者是持肯定态度的。故选D项。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify(使…具有资格)san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not. (有些人认为上大学和独立生活是成年人的标准，而另一些人可能认为有稳定的收入和能够负担得起独立生活是成年人的标准。不是每个人都有幸运的生活，有家人可以提供支持；有些情况下，不管你喜欢与否，你都被迫成为一个“成年人”。)”可以推论出，此处作者是为了表明对于什么时候算是成年人了，人们的观点是有分歧的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult. (此外，经历困难时期并意识到生活并不像看上去那么容易，可以让一个人成为成年人。)”可知，在生活中经历了低谷时期，且能从中学习的人，算是成年人了。故选C项。

Teenagers across the world eagerly await the day they become legal adults, to be free from the dependence of their parents and to practice the full rights of their citizenship. The situation is no different in South Korea. Here, the legal age of adulthood is 19. Ten years ago, the legal age was 20, but this was lowered by a year in 2013 based on recognition of the early maturity of modern teenagers. Now, from their 19th birthday onwards, South Korean teenagers can vote, get married and work full-time.
Unlike most other countries, the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthood with an official “Coming-of-Age Day”, which falls on every third Monday of May. Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (服装) reserved for male adults in 965.
By the late Jose on Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds. In this period, one of the most symbolic changes that adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing (飘逸的) hair into a topknot (结) and cover it with at all black hat made of horsehair; likewise, girls put their hair, which they let fall as single braids (辫子) in youth, up into an eat knot and set it with a long hairpin (发簪).
Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modem way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.
12. What led to the legal age of adulthood being lowered by a year in South Korea
A. The requirement for youth’s earlier practice of voting rights.
B. The determination to satisfy teenagers’ expectations.
C. The plan to reduce economic pressure on families.
D. The realization of youth’s earlier maturity.
13. Who received South Korea’s first recorded coming-of-age celebration according to the text
A. Frince Wang Ju.
B. King Gwangjong.
C. An upper-class 15-year-old in the Jose on Dynasty.
D. A middle-class 15-year-old in the Goryeo Dynasty.
14. What marked the important change in celebrating adulthood during the Jose on Dynasty
A. A new type of hairstyle B. A specific birthday outfit.
C. Making one’s own hat with horsehair. D. Replacing short hairpins with long ones.
15. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. Publicly-held ceremonies require group application.
B. Traditional ceremonies should be more widely practiced.
C. Teenagers nowadays prefer to celebrate adulthood at home.
D. Society has seen broadening ways of adulthood celebration.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D

细节理解题。根据第二段“Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (服装) reserved for male adults in 965.(最早的关于庆祝成年的文字记录可以追溯到高丽王朝，965年，广宗国王将成年男性专用的服装送给了王伷王子)”可知，韩国历史上首个有记载的成年仪式是公元965年，光宗皇帝授予皇储王伷的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“By the late Jose on Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds.

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modem way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.(今天，传统的成人仪式仍然存在，主要是由政府和公共利益支持的。但也增加了一套非常不同的习俗。除非他们申请参加公共仪式或参加提供这些系列活动的学校，否则19岁的年轻人会以现代的方式庆祝五月的第三个星期一，与家人美餐一顿或与朋友喝酒)”可知，最后一段阐述了在传统仪式留存的基础上，现代的庆祝活动增加了一些新的元素，人们既可以参加官方或者学校组织的庆祝活动，也可以与亲朋好友一起庆祝，旨在表明其多样性。故选D。

Being “a grown-up” is a pretty unclear concept, even once you’re technically “grown-up”.

So if you’re still pondering the question, here’s my advice for making the best of it.
___17___
In some ways, in decision about the future allows you to have a much more open mind about various career choices than those who’ve always known exactly what they want to do. If you limit yourself too much, you could miss the opportunity to join an exciting new startup, develop a great business idea, or try something unexpected that you might love.
Accept that the landscape is always changing
While it may have once made sense to dream about being a doctor, lawyer, or professional ballet dancer, many of the jobs open to you now are ones you didn’t know about as a child. ____18____. The job that fits you could be one you’d never even imagined at age 10, 25, or even 40.
Redefine (重新定义) “grown-up”
The concept of being a “grown-up” means that there’s a finish line to a personal and professional life that is, in reality, always changing.____19____this discovery will likely be the result of much trial and error, and you’ll probably find yourself fighting for new goals throughout much of your life.

A. Do something
B. Embrace uncertainty
C. Even if the job has its disadvantages

E. Truthfully, that grown-up person your childhood self once dreamed of might not exist

G. While you can hope that you’ll one day find a hobby or career that you’re enthusiastic about
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章说明了成年并不意味着明确了自己的人生道路，并提出了几点消除迷茫的建议。
【16题详解】
设空处上文“My career has taken its fair share of twists and turns in the past three years since I graduated, and in some ways I feel like I’m still only starting to figure out what I want to do.(毕业后的三年里，我的职业生涯经历了不少曲折，在某些方面，我觉得自己才刚刚开始弄清楚自己想做什么)”指出作者已经工作三年，却仍然不确定自己想做什么，下文“So if you’re still pondering the question, here’s my advice for making the best of it.(所以，如果你还在思考这个问题，下面是我的建议，让你充分利用它)”提出了消除迷茫的具体建议，由此可推知在上文提到的事情上，作者已经经过反思收获了自己的答案，F项：And I’ve learned that it’s OK not to know what you want to be even at a grown-up age(我明白了，即使到了成年，不知道自己想成为什么也没关系)符合语境。且F项中的not to know what you want to be even at a grown-up age与上文中的still only starling to figure out what I want to do相呼应。故选F。
【17题详解】
设空处为段落小标题，概括全段主旨。本段“In some ways, in decision about the future allows you to have a much more open mind about various career choices than those who’ve always known exactly what they want to do.(在某种程度上，对未来的决定让你在各种职业选择上比那些一直都知道自己想做什么的人有更开放的心态)”主要说明人们在对未来没有确定计划的时候，反而可以对职业选择有更开阔的思维，获得更多开拓新领域、尝试新想法的机会，由此可知，我们要接受生活中的不确定性，B项：Embrace uncertainty(接受不确定性)符合语境。故选B。
【18题详解】
设空处上文“While it may have once made sense to dream about being a doctor, lawyer, or professional ballet dancer, many of the jobs open to you now are ones you didn’t know about as a child.(虽然梦想成为医生、律师或专业芭蕾舞演员曾经是有意义的，但现在向你开放的许多工作都是你小时候不知道的)”指出人们梦想的很多职业往往是在自己小时候完全没有了解过的，下文“The job that fits you could be one you’d never even imagined at age 10, 25, or even 40.(适合你的工作可能是你在10岁、25岁甚至40岁时从未想过的)”提出人们适合的工作可能是自己在10岁、25岁、甚至40岁时完全想象不到的，由此可推知，设空处应指出造成这一现象及导致后面结果的原因，D项：The Internet transformed the professional landscape in totally unexpected ways(互联网以完全意想不到的方式改变了专业领域)符合语境。且D项中的landscape与小标题中的landscape构成原词复现，D项中的unexpected与小标题中的always changing相呼应。故选D。
【19题详解】
设空处下文“this discovery will likely be the result of much trial and error, and you’ll probably find yourself fighting for new goals throughout much of your life.(这个发现很可能是反复试验和错误的结果，你可能会发现自己在生命的大部分时间里都在为新的目标而奋斗)”指出这种发现很可能也是多次试错的结果，由此可推知设空处说明了人们获得某一发现，G项：While you can hope that you’ll one day find a hobby or career that you’re enthusiastic about(虽然你可以希望有一天你会找到一个你热爱的爱好或职业)符合语境，与下文构成明显的转折关系，且G项中的find a hobby or career that you’re enthusiastic about 是下文中this discovery的具体指代。故选G。
【20题详解】
设空处位于最后一段段首，起总结全文的作用。根据上文“My career has taken its fair share of twists and turns in the past three years since I graduated, and in some ways I feel like I’m still only starting to figure out what I want to do.(毕业后的三年里，我的职业生涯经历了不少曲折，在某些方面，我觉得自己才刚刚开始弄清楚自己想做什么)”可知，本文主要说明即使已经成年，人们对自己的未来还有很多不确定性，生活环境也一直在发生改变，设空处后一句“Being grown-up means being satisfed with the journey you’ve chosen and enjoying the many different roads you’ve followed.(成熟意味着对你选择的旅程感到满意，享受你走过的许多不同的道路。)”提出我们应满足于自己所选的道路，由此可推知设空处应与“人生中有太多的不确定性”有关，E项：Truthfully, that grown-up person your childhood self once dreamed of might not exist(说实话，你童年时梦想的那个成年人可能并不存在)谈及曾经设想的自己或许永远不会实现，暗含这一意义，故E项符合语境。故选E。

It all started when Becky’s friend Anna spotted a call for teens to audition (试镜) for roles in a new TV show, which was also looking for a double for the lead actress. “You’d be perfect!” cried Anna. “And you’ve always wanted to be an actress. This could be your opportunity!” “I don’t know, Anna,” said Becky. “I have no experience!” Anna shook her head and said: “You know what my grandma said Nothing ventured (冒险), nothing gained. You’ve got to try! I’ll come with you if you’re scared!”
Becky accepted her offer, and the next day the two girls were at the audition along with hundreds of other teens. The other hopefuls were all beautiful, and from their conversation, Becky could tell that they all had experience in acting. She was sure she would be knocked out immediately, but Anna kept telling her that she would be fine.
Finally, it was Becky’s turn, and she stepped into the room in front of the producers and the director. At the sight of Becky, the director’s mouth dropped open, and the producers stared whispering together excitedly. Becky introduced herself and started reading from the lines she had been handed in the hallway, but the director waved a hand.
“Becky Is that your name ” he said. “We don’t need to hear anymore...” Becky felt her eyes fill with tears. She was so bad they didn’t even want her to finish the reading! Then the man said: “You’re hired(雇佣). You’ll be Jenna Marlow’s double.”

And Jenna showed Becky a photo of herself at ages even on her phone and said that it was her seventh birthday...October 12. Becky froze. She said in a weak voice that it was the same as her birthday. “That’s impossible!” shouted Jenna. “That we look alike is odd enough, but having the same birthday ” The two girls went for a DNA test. Then finally, the results arrived—they were twins!
The truth was uncovered when Jenna and Becky arranged a dinner and invited Mrs. Marlow and Mrs. Darling. It turned out that Mrs. Marlow who couldn’t have children but want done so much met Mrs. Darling at her doctor’s. Mrs. Darling had twins but she was poor and couldn’t raise two children. Then Mrs. Marlow decided to raise Jenna, so Mrs. Darling could give Becky a better life.
