Quietly reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the announcements. When the trainman makes an announcement, it’s often quite boring. But this one was 1.As I looked up from my paper, I 2others also listening. Not only that, they smiled!Why was so much attention being paid to this message?As best I can remember, the trainman said, “Good morning. Ladies, Gentlemen and 3It’s 7:35 a.m. and you’ll be glad to know that we are righton time. What a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, the temperature is about 21 degrees, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. Thanks for 4my train and I hope to see you again. Have a great day!”Wow! Have you ever heard an announcement like that? I certainly hadn’t. As well as getting everyone smiling, there were quite a few people who started talking to one another about how good the message had made everyone feel.The moment I got off the train, I ran into the young trainman and started to 5him. He seemed a bit 6at first. Continuously I said, “Well, I just wanted to thank you for your brilliant message on the way. It got everyone’s attention and smile. Thank you so much for giving us such a good 7to the day.”That day I got two messages. The first is that people’s happiness at work shows in what they do and say. Also, the story tells me what you can get from thanking people for something they’ve done, _8when it’s not expected.

She always used to keep candy in her pockets, and she’d always give us some when we came to visit. My dad used to play jokes and say, “Grandma, don’t give them any candy!” But she did it anyway.— Rosa, MexicoAll my aunts and uncles used to come over for Sunday dinner and there were always about 12 of us around a huge table. Sugar was my favorite food and I would eat some with my cousin and then play games. I was an only child, so it was nice to be part of a big family.— Sally, RussiaMy sister and brother-in-law used to live next door. I was only a little older than my sister’s kids, so I grew up with my niece and nephew. I used to go over there a lot, eat chocolate together and play chess. I was their favorite aunt.— Haruka, JapanI used to love playing basketball with my four brothers. I grew up in a blended family.

He createdsome of the world’s best-known characters and many readers think he is the most important writer of the Victorian era . Some of his famous novels are Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations. Most people in his novels lived in London.In 1824, Dickens’ father went to prison because he couldn’t pay money to someone. In those days, a man’s wife and young children went to prison with him. Charles was 12, so he left school to work in the prison. Life was hard, and a lot of children worked in those days. Dickens’ own experience helped him to write about poor children without a mother or father. Dickens’ success began with the publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1836. And his book Oliver Twist is about a boy without father. Important people were more interested in the problems of poor people after reading Dickens’ books.Dickens’ novels are often very long and he wrote them in different parts for a newspaper each week. His novels have a lot of exciting and sad things in them. He wanted his readers to buy the newspaper every week. And the readers w anted to finish the story! Dickens’ novels are popular because many of his stories are about social problems and family life. Dickens was successful in writing and he has been praised by other writers for his style and characters.（1）When was Charles Dickens born?A . In 1812.B . In 1824.C . In 1836.D . In 1901.（2）Where did Dickens work when he was 12?A . In the prison.B . At a school.C . On a farm.D . In an office.（3）Dickens’ novels are popular because_______.A . they have a lot of exciting and sad thingsB . they are about social problems and family lifeC . he has been praised for his style and charactersD . he is the most important writer of the Victorian era16. 阅读理解Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’ve decided to take action, read the following first.S is for specific : For example, instead of setting a goal : of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.M is for measurable : Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.A is for achievable: If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.R is for relevant : Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.T is for time-conscious : Finally, be very clear in your mind about howmuch time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.（1）According to the passage, the writer tells us how to_______.A . lose weightB . take exerciseC . set a goalD . spend time.（2）What does the word “SMART” mean in the passage?A . Five exercise plans.B . Five suggestions.C . Five training steps.D . Five big letters.（3）Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A . Specific numbers should be included in the goals you set.B . You should begin with small steps while achieving a goal.C . In order to make the goal fit for you, you should be careful.D . More time should be given for you to achieve your goal.17. 阅读理解Do you know some great inventors and their inventions?What factors are needed for their success?Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply doesn’t want … yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax（传真）machine in the 1860s. Although the quality is excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial death. It was not until the 1980s that the fax became very common in ev ery office… too late for Giovanni Caselli.Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin had the idea for a steam engine （蒸汽机）almost a hundred years before the better-remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born… but he never had enough money to build one.You also need to be patient … but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than “a beautiful toy”. However, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office in February，1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier and the young man who sent it , Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.Of course what you really need is a great idea—but if you haven’t got one, a walk in the country and a careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps’ nest.You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, USA.In 1958 the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tiny 120cm screen with a white dot which could be hit back and forth over a “net” using a button and a knob. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game—made from a simple laboratory instrument called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!（1）How many factors do inventors need?A . 3.B . 4.C . 5.D . 6.（2）The word “ignoring” in last paragraph probably mean?A . having no idea ofB . making no sense toC . getting no chance ofD . paying no attention to（3）What can you learn from the passage?A . Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax machine in the 1980s.B . Denis Papin afforded to build a steam engine a hundred years ago.C . Elisha Gray missed the chance to be the inventor of the telephone.D . George de Mestral got the idea from a walk in a French countryside.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . How to be a successful inventor.B . How to get a great idea from nature.C . How to have good commercial sense.D . How to make money from inventions.四、阅读短文，回答问题18. 阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。

Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money d oesn’t mean more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can l ove be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a wor d, where people believe money means everything, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.15. F 16. T 17. F 18. F 19. T 20. TD.

定位到文章第一段第二行“" f you want to find the right job, don' t rush t o look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself."可以得出在工作之前我们应该坐下来井分析自己的性格，所以答案选D。
细节理解题。
根据文章的第二种人格" The Investigative type is interested in all the new things and likes to learn, study situations and solve problems"可以得岀研究型性格是喜欢新鲜的事物,喜欢学习井且解决问题,警察的职业符合这类性格,所以答案选B。
篇章结构题。
最后一段例举了L证z的例子,像我们介绍了择业之前的性格分析,是运用了举例子的方式,所以答案选A。
主旨大意题。
整篇文章介绍的是如何根据自己的性格进行就业选择,所以是来自杂志的职业计划部分,所以答案选B。
BIt is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters, after all, they probably spend more time with each other. In Britain there was the famous case of the silent twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons, who refused to talk to anyone but each other.However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost completely in each other’s company. What happens when twins do not grow up together? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard who works in the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. He followed sixteen pairs of twins, who lived in different families. Each twin was the interviewed about their life.The results were surprising. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies or habits, some have suffered the same illnesses. A large number of the twins have had children at almost the same times; sometimes they have even given them the same names. But the most surprising similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis. The story of the “Ji m Twins” made headline news across USA, and they even appeared on national television. Born in 1939, and brought up by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.So what can be the explanation for these similarities? Research into the lives of twins makes us believe our personalities may be at least partly due to nature. On the other hand, some surprising coincidences(巧合) do happen all the times, not just in the lives of twins.1. What did Professor Tom Bouchard want to find out?A.
