A
No single job suits all of us, but many of the best ones have a few characteristics in common.
The information given below is some of the best jobs for reference.
Nurse Practitioner
Average salary: $121,610/year
Unemployment rate: 0.4%
Expected job growth in ten years: 44.5%
Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with additional education. Also known as advanced
practice registered nurses, they specialize in treating specific patient populations, training to work in
areas like women's health or children's health. They may also work in research or academia (学术界).
Financial Manager
Average salary: $139,790/year
Unemployment rate: 1.4%
Expected job growth in ten years: 16%
Financial managers oversee the finances of major companies, agencies and other organizations.
Aside from working with numbers, they must also help other members of their organization
understand their complex reports, which requires significant communication skills.
Software Developer
Average salary: $127,260/year
Unemployment rate: 1.4%
Expected job growth in ten years: 25.7%
Software developers invent the technologies we sometimes take for granted. For instance, the
app that rings or sings to wake you up from a deep sleep every morning. The best developers are
creative and have the technical skills to carry out innovative ideas. They are employed in a range of
industries, including computer systems design, manufacturing and finance.
Information Security Analyst
Average salary: $112,000/year
Unemployment rate: 1.2%
Expected job growth in ten years: 31.5%
As concern about cybersecurity grows, so does the demand for information security analysts. It
is the duty of these professionals to prepare and carry out security measures that protect a company's
computer networks and systems. Since lots of sensitive data is stored electronically these days,
including bank account numbers and passwords, these professionals are crucial.
第 3页/共 12页

C. Software Developer. D. Information Security Analyst.
22. What do software developers and information security analysts have in common
A. They specialize in data management.
B. They are in high demand.
C. They are equipped with inventive minds.
D. They focus on user experience improvement.

You are a Stanford student. Your professor walks into the room, breaks the class into teams, and
gives each team five dollars in funding. Your goal is to make as much money as possible within two
hours and then give a three-minute presentation about your achievement. What would you do
Typical answers range from buying start-up materials for a lemonade stand to buying a lottery
ticket (彩票). But the teams that follow these typical paths tend to bring up the rear in the class.
The teams that make the most money don’t use the five dollars at all. They realize the five
dollars is a worthless resource. So they ignore it and start from scratch. They redefine the problem
more broadly as “What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing ”
One particularly successful team ended up making reservations at popular local restaurants and
then selling the reservation times to those who wanted to skip the wait. These students generated an
impressive few hundred dollars in just two hours. But the team that made the most money
approached the problem differently. They realized the most valuable resource was the three-minute
presentation time they had in front of attentive Stanford students. They sold their three-minute slot
(时段) to a company interested in employing Stanford students and walked away with $650.
The five-dollar challenge illustrates the difference between tactics (战术 ) and strategy. A
strategy is a plan for achieving an objective. Tactics, in contrast, are the actions you undertake to
carry out the strategy. The Stanford students who bombed the $5 challenge fixated on a tactic —
how to use the five dollars — and lost sight of the strategy. Once you define the problem broadly in
terms of what you’re trying to do instead of your favored solution — you’ll discover other
possibilities waiting in plain sight.
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To present a typical class at Stanford. B. To collect answers to a question.
第 4页/共 12页
C. To introduce the five-dollar challenge. D. To stress the importance of making money.
25. What does the underlined phrase “bring up the rear” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Be unlikely to last. B. Become hard to notice.
C. Be at the bottom. D. Encourage wrongdoing.
26. What can we infer about the two successful teams
A. They can think outside the box.
B. They insist on their favored solution.
C. They illustrate the benefits of collecting data.
D. They have a clear team process for planning.
27. What is suggested in the last paragraph
A. Think twice before you act. B. A penny saved is a penny earned.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Solutions lie in seeing the big picture.
C
Reading fiction is an emotional experience. Feeling emotions — even negative emotions such
as sadness — drives reading and helps us enjoy books. The emotions we feel when reading may
even help us show empathy, understand that others have opinions, and encourage us to help others.
The emotional experience of reading is both individually and socially beneficial.
Currently, however, the link between reading and emotion is largely missing from the reading
experienced by young people in English literature lessons in England.
The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) English literature curriculum has been
criticized. Examination questions in English literature are usually constructed impersonally. For
instance, a recent GCSE paper asks students, "How does Priestley explore the importance of social
class in An Inspector Calls " Questions like this encourage students to consider the intention and
style of the author without taking their personal response to the text into account.
The current approach to the English literature curriculum and its assessment is also in conflict
with how teachers view the value of emotions in English teaching. In our recent study, we found that
the teachers used the words "feel" and "feelings" frequently. These words often occurred within
broader comments about engagement and a sense of closeness to both the themes and characters in
the texts being studied. Some of the teachers we surveyed felt that this connection with a text had to
be in place before any attempt to analyze language, structure and meaning. As one teacher said, "I
find the easiest way into getting kids to analyze language is getting them to think about how it makes
them feel and then to explore how the language is making that happen.”
Teachers were also keen to promote the value of discussion in their classrooms. They viewed
this as an important way in which learners developed as readers, through dialog and by building on
第 5页/共 12页
others' emotional responses. They felt such collective talk was important as a tool for enriching the
classroom environment. It also, crucially, encouraged students to understand that any literary text can
give rise to multiple and often very different interpretations.
School reading should be more closely aligned (使一致 ) to personal reading practices and
those are very much driven by emotions.
28. Which of the following questions might be considered impersonal
A. Which character do you like best in the play
B. What style does the author use in the fiction
C. Which poem impresses you the most and why
D. What do you admire about the hero in the novel
29. What should be done before analyzing literary works according to some teachers
A. Predicting the plot. B. Analyzing the language.
C. Outlining the structure. D. Relating to the works.
30. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Illustrate a teaching process. B. Explore a reading method.
C. Introduce a teaching practice. D. Review a reading activity.
D
Noise-cancelling headphones are popular for making commutes easier and blocking daily noise.
But they have recently been questioned, as hearing experts worry overuse might harm people's
hearing abilities. While the technology has clear advantages—like letting people listen to music at
lower volume—some specialists suspect that constantly filtering out background noise may bring
unexpected problems.
Renee Almeida, a hearing expert from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, has seen more
adults with hearing complaints. Tests show their ears work well, but their brains have issues: they
struggle to find where sounds come from or follow conversations in busy places like trains or
restaurants. This problem, called the auditory processing problem, is usually found in children.
Almeida thinks wide use of noise-cancelling headphones could be the reason.
"The brain is used to dealing with many sounds at once and choosing what to focus on," she says.
"With noise cancellation, your brain gets only one sound—like a podcast or music—with nothing
else to process." She adds that overuse may make children's brain development slower in learning to
notice sounds, and make adults' brains "lazy", just like unused muscles get weak. Both groups may
then find it hard to pick out speech from noisy surroundings.
However, other experts have different views. Harvey Dillon, a hearing science professor, says
there's no proof that noise-cancelling headphones cause such problems. He notes that loud music, not
第 6页/共 12页
the noise-cancelling feature, might damage the auditory system. "Noise cancellation can even be
good—it lets people listen to music at lower volume without background noise," he explains.
Dani Tomlin, another hearing specialist, agrees that long-term use may make listening harder
when headphones are taken off. But she says their benefits shouldn’t be ignored—they help people
with special sensory needs and let people enjoy podcasts or movies during trips. “We don’t need to
stop using them; we need more research,” she says.
For now, Almeida suggests using bone conduction headphones and doing hearing training. She
advises people to listen to radio debates and write down rap song lyrics while listening. “The brain
can still change and improve,” she says. “Just make an effort to pay attention to the sounds around
you.”
31. What problem do adults with hearing complaints have according to Renee Almeida
A. Their ears cannot work normally.
B. They fail to locate the source of sounds.
C. They cannot listen to music at low volume.
D. They have difficulty using noise-cancelling headphones.
32. What can we infer from Harvey Dillon’s words
A. Noise-cancelling headphones may protect hearing in some way.
B. The noise-cancelling feature is the main cause of hearing damage.
C. Loud music is safer for hearing with noise-cancelling headphones.
D. There is enough research to prove the harm of noise-cancelling headphones.
33. What does Dani Tomlin agree about noise-cancelling headphones
A. Their side effects have been completely solved.
B. They help improve people’s ability to focus on sounds.
C. Their benefits are valuable and further study is required.
D. They are more useful than bone conduction headphones.
34. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain how noise-cancelling headphones work.
B. To prove that noise-cancelling headphones harm hearing.
C. To advise people to use bone conduction headphones.
D. To introduce different views on noise-cancelling headphones’ effects.

项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A child and a man were walking on a beach. The child found a shell and held it to his ear.
第 7页/共 12页
Suddenly he heard strange, low, musical sounds, seemingly from another world. Then the man
explained that these were merely faint sounds captured by the shell, revealing the unnoticed sounds
of the world.
35. ______ To enter and enjoy this new world, we need to love literature, and make an effort to
explain it. Behind every book is a man, behind the man is the race, and behind the race are the
natural and social environments. 36. ______ In a word, we have now reached a point where we wish
to enjoy and understand literature. The first step is to determine some of its significant qualities.
The first quality of literature is its description of truth and beauty. Often, some truth and beauty
go unnoticed until revealed by a sensitive soul, just like the shell reflecting the unnoticed sounds. 37.
______
The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and imagination. 38. ______
Consider the line asked by Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus in the presence of Helen: "Was
this the face that launched a thousand ships " — it invites us into a world of love, beauty, and
heroism.
The third quality of literature, coming out of the other two, is its permanence. 39. ______ It also
takes on a personal style—no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and
experiences.
In summary, literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty, the written record of
man's thoughts and feelings, and the history of the human soul.
A. Many great works of literature share these qualities.
B. This is why literature can be so powerful and moving.
C. Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says.
D. We must know all these, if the book is to speak its whole message.
E. Some such experience as this lies in store for us when we begin the study of literature.
F. Good literature reflects the most basic of human nature—love and hate, joy and sadness, fear and
hope.
G. For instance, while many might overlook a field of dead grass, a poet sees beauty and truth,
transforming it into verse: "Yesterday's flowers am I."

问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (孤独症).
Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes
in routine completely threw me out.
As a schoolboy I felt like the least interesting person on Earth. No one seemed to understand me,
and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students. Since I
could not fit in, I chose silence—even though I had so much to say.
Toward the end of my freshman year, something changed. Because I held everything in for too
long, the pressure built until I couldn’t take it. Like a bear that had been poked one too many times,
my inner bear finally roared. I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in. I decided
I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore.
I joined my high school’s media club, where for the first time I had friends and a sense of
belonging. That was when I discovered the world of podcasting. During this early podcasting
experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed—I felt a
sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew.
Later, I started my own podcast—Autism Rocks and Rolls. At first, it was just a way to use my
voice. But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too. I’ve had listeners tell me they found
themselves nodding along while listening. It means understanding. It means someone out there gets it,
and that’s powerful.
The podcast has now reached places I never expected. I’ve interviewed celebrities and leading
experts, delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world. The
most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have
been unheard.
Back then, I never imagined my voice would reach this far. Thinking no one was listening, for
第 9页/共 12页
years, I held everything in. But once the bear found its voice, I didn’t go back into hiding. I kept
speaking, and now I have a platform where others can roar too.
There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. Someone will get you. It may not be who
you expect, and it may take time, but someone will. Keep going. Keep speaking. You will be heard.
49. What made the author feel excluded as a schoolboy
50. How did the author’s early podcasting experience benefit him
51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his
voice.

London during the summer vacation. Learning that a Chinese literature exhibition will be held in the
local gallery, I am writing to apply to be a volunteer.
I believe I am well qualified for the job. First, I have a good command of both Chinese and
English, which enables me to introduce Chinese works to visitors clearly. Besides, I am familiar with
Chinese literature and history, so I can help visitors better understand the exhibits. More importantly,
I am outgoing, patient and willing to serve others.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my application. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,Li Hua
