Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
The summer after my first year of college,I had to get my first job.For me,it was another step moving from a dependent child to a more independent adult.I had never held a job when I was in high school,because my parents wanted me to focus on school.I went all over town looking for places where people of my age would typically be working and I printed out a recently updated resume (简历).Those two weeks passed by fast and I got no calls or emails back.I had absolutely no job experience,and it made sense because I would not be their first choice.
However,halfway through the third week,I finally got a call back from one of the places I had applied to.When I came aboard,it was very obvious that I was the new guy. I forgot orders and had unexplained absences from work at least once a week.My parents made a bet that I would not last the first two weeks,and I would be back looking for more jobs.Surprisingly,I stuck with it.I made sure that I put a smile on my face every day no matter what happened.
I started to get the hang of things as a couple of weeks became a month. I got better at orders,and always recommended the cheaper options for customers unless they were rude. A “thank you” here and a “please” there go a long way towards making someone’s day.After working a while,the staff and I all became close.We all dealt with long hours and rude customers and at the end of the day,we were all in it together.
A couple of weeks later,I was told by the manager that I had received the Employee of the Month.At that moment,I felt like I had truly made it,and this was the first of many accomplishments I would receive while working.It taught me a lot about responsibility and the importance of working on a team.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
As a teenager,when my family took a vacation,I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored.I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album,where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination.Instead,the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day.
“Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea ” I asked my grandmother.
“Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said.“I would pop a postcard in the morning mail,and a friend would receive it that afternoon.Then she’d post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”
I was surprised.Life without a phone sounded like something out of the book Little House on the Prairie.Connecting by postcards seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon.
I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until extreme weather restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters.Remembering my grandmother’s album,I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks,I’d write notes and mail them.The girls occasionally responded with brief thank you texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spied three hand-addressed envelopes.They were from my granddaughters,each thanking me for the postcards.The notes captured their disappointment with the extreme weather and how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships.Like her,I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters.Yet,even as the extreme weather ends,I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter in the mail.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
Many of the present generation of recent over-18s do not feel like adults, according to a survey by Nationwide Building Society, and those commenting online seem to agree. The study of 2,000 over-18s found more than one in ten did not think of themselves as fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups until they reached the age of 27.
Lisa Daisy,over 30 years old,said,“Even after a career for 10 years, it still took being married to make me feel grown-up.”
But Carole Lutringer,who is in her forties, said she felt like an adult when she was very young. “I had to cook from an early age, because my mother worked as a headteacher,” she said. “My mother came back home late, and my father was pretty useless in the kitchen. I had to be independent from really early on, and that’s probably what made me feel grown-up earlier than most of my peers.”
Sana Khalid Khan also had adulthood thrust upon her. She said it was the death of her father that made her grow up, at the age of 17. “Being the eldest child, a lot of responsibility fell on my shoulders,” she said.
Of those 2,000 people asked when they felt like adults, the transition (转变) happened for half in their 20s, while a fifth said it happened in their 30s. One in twenty felt they had not grown up until their 40s. Of those questioned, 55% said being an adult was dependent on major life events, for example having children, moving out of the parental home or getting married.
For others, such as Elaine Smith, in London, adulthood is only a state of mind.“I still don’t feel grown-up,” she said,“I can’t believe I am responsible for looking after a four-year-old. How did that happen I’m 44 now, so it may happen soon.” Commenting online, Sophie Caunter agreed.“I’m 42,” she said,“I have an 11-year-old, a seven-month-old,a husband,and I still don’t feel grown-up.” Melinda Wilmot said,“I’m 58 and still waiting to grow up.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了不同的人对成年的感受不同。
(　　)1.What does the survey focus on
[A]When people feel they have reached adulthood.
[B]How people feel about their childhood.
[C]Why people grow up earlier than before.
[D]What people think aging means.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The study of 2,000 over-18s...reached the age of 27.”可知,这项调查主要是关于人们什么时候觉得自己已经成年。故选A。
(　　)2.What made Carole Lutringer feel grown-up
[A]Losing her dad.
[B]Raising her children.
[C]Being married to her husband.
[D]Taking care of herself from an early age.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘I had to cook from an early age, because my mother... than most of my peers.’”可知,Carole Lutringer从小就要照顾自己,这让她感觉自己成熟了。故选D。
(　　)3.What does the underlined part “had adulthood thrust upon her” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
[A]Made adulthood transform her.
[B]Forced adulthood on her.
[C]Was excited about adulthood.
[D]Prepared for adulthood.
【答案】 B
【解析】 猜测短语题。根据画线部分的后两句“She said it was the death...she said.”可知,父亲去世,Sana Khalid Khan作为家里最大的孩子不得不承担很多责任。由此可知,画线短语所在句的意思是“Sana Khalid Khan也被迫长大成人”。所以had adulthood thrust upon her意为“她被迫长大”。故选B。
(　　)4.What can we learn from the last paragraph
[A]Adulthood means responsibility.
[B]Few people feel grown-up in their 20s.
[C]Some people don’t feel grown-up even in their 40s.
[D]Adulthood begins earlier than most people think.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Elaine Smith、Sophie Caunter和Melinda Wilmot所说的话可推知,有的人已经40多岁了,但还是感觉没有长大。故选C。Unit 1　课时作业(二)

Whether it’s honouring yourself or performing small acts of kindness, there’s something you can do each day to better yourself and grow as an individual. Keep reading to learn how you can start your self-improvement journey.
Be yourself.1.　　　 You are unique, special, and one-of-a-kind. Accepting yourself for who you truly are can help you feel happier, improve your life, and strengthen your identity. Follow your guts (直觉), do what you love, and explore your interests. The more you do to fuel your energy, the happier and more confident you’ll be.

Many of the present generation of recent over-18s do not feel like adults, according to a survey by Nationwide Building Society, and those commenting online seem to agree. The study of 2,000 over-18s found more than one in ten did not think of themselves as fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups until they reached the age of 27.
Lisa Daisy,over 30 years old,said,“Even after a career for 10 years, it still took being married to make me feel grown-up.”
But Carole Lutringer,who is in her forties, said she felt like an adult when she was very young. “I had to cook from an early age, because my mother worked as a headteacher,” she said. “My mother came back home late, and my father was pretty useless in the kitchen. I had to be independent from really early on, and that’s probably what made me feel grown-up earlier than most of my peers.”
Sana Khalid Khan also had adulthood thrust upon her. She said it was the death of her father that made her grow up, at the age of 17. “Being the eldest child, a lot of responsibility fell on my shoulders,” she said.
Of those 2,000 people asked when they felt like adults, the transition (转变) happened for half in their 20s, while a fifth said it happened in their 30s. One in twenty felt they had not grown up until their 40s. Of those questioned, 55% said being an adult was dependent on major life events, for example having children, moving out of the parental home or getting married.
For others, such as Elaine Smith, in London, adulthood is only a state of mind.“I still don’t feel grown-up,” she said,“I can’t believe I am responsible for looking after a four-year-old. How did that happen I’m 44 now, so it may happen soon.” Commenting online, Sophie Caunter agreed.“I’m 42,” she said,“I have an 11-year-old, a seven-month-old,a husband,and I still don’t feel grown-up.” Melinda Wilmot said,“I’m 58 and still waiting to grow up.”

As a teenager,when my family took a vacation,I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored.I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album,where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination.Instead,the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day.
“Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea ” I asked my grandmother.
“Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone,” she said.“I would pop a postcard in the morning mail,and a friend would receive it that afternoon.Then she’d post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning.”
I was surprised.Life without a phone sounded like something out of the book Little House on the Prairie.Connecting by postcards seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon.
I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until extreme weather restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters.Remembering my grandmother’s album,I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks,I’d write notes and mail them.The girls occasionally responded with brief thank you texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spied three hand-addressed envelopes.They were from my granddaughters,each thanking me for the postcards.The notes captured their disappointment with the extreme weather and how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships.Like her,I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters.Yet,even as the extreme weather ends,I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter in the mail.
