Practice Reading C
Practice Test C – ReadingLine (5) (10) (15) (20) (25) Question 1- 9Around the year 1500, hunting people occupied the entire northern third of North America. They lived well from the animals with whom they shared these lands. Hunters of sea mammals had colonized the Arctic coasts of Canada and Greenland between four and five thousand years before. Land-hunting people had lived throughout much of the northern interior for at least 12,000 years.Northern North America is part of a larger circumpolar ecological domain that continues across the narrow Bering Strait into Siberia and northern Europe. The overall circumpolar environment in the 1500’s was not very different from the environment of the present. This vast landmass had a continental climate and was dominated by cold arctic air throughout a long winter and spring season. Summer temperatures ranged from near freezing to the mid-20's Celsius, while winter temperatures were often as low as 40 degrees below zero Celsius.Geographers divide the overall circumpolar domain into two zones, the Arctic and below it, the Subarctic. They refer to the landforms of these areas as tundra and taiga, respectively.Temperatures in the northern lands were below freezing for eight or nine months of the year. Subsurface soil in the Arctic's tundra remained permanently frozen. Even when summer temperatures were above freezing and the top inches of earth became saturated with water, the soil below remained frozen into a permafrost, as hard as rock. When water flowed upon the surface of permanently frozen tundra, it made overland travel extremely difficult. Summer travel in the boggy lands, or muskeg country, of the Subarctic's taiga was also slow and arduous. Tracking animals was more difficult than it was during the winter when the swampy ground was frozen solid and covered with snow. In both tundra and taiga, hordes of mosquitoes and biting flies bred in the standing pools of water. Clothing lost its thermal efficiency when it became damp. Northern people looked forward to the turn of the season to bring the easier traveling conditions associated with cold weather. In the Arctic, they could haul food and supplies by dogsled while in the Subarctic, people could travel quickly and efficiently by snowshoes and toboggan.1.

Among vertebrates, the best known social parasites are such birds as cuckoos and cowbirds; the female lays an egg in a nest belonging to another species and leaves it for the host to rear.The dulotic species of ants, however, are the supreme social parasites. Consider, for example, the unusual behavior of ants belonging to the genus Polyergus. All species of this ant have lost the ability to care for themselves. The workers do not forage for food. feed their brood or queen, or even dean their own nest. To compensate for thesedeficits, Polyergus has become specialized at obtaining workers from the related genus Formica to do these chores.In a raid, several thousand Polyergus workers will travel up to 500 feet in search of a Formica nest, penetrate it, drive off the queen and tier workers, capture the pupalbrood, and transport it back to their nest. The captured brood is then reared by the resident Formica workers until the developing pupae emerge to add to the Formica population, which maintains the mixed-species nest The Formica workers forage for food and give it to colony members of both species. They also remove wastes and excavate new chambers as the population increases.The true extent of the Polyergus ants' dependence on the Formica becomes apparent when the worker population grows too large for the existing nest. Formica scouts locate a new nesting site, return to the mixed-species colony, and recruit additional Formicanest mates. During a period that may last seven days, the Formica workers carry to the new nest all the Polyergus eggs, larvae, and pupae, every Polyergus adult, and even the Polyergus queen.Of the approximately 8,000 species of ants in the world, all 5 species of Polyergus and some 200 species in other genera have evolved some degree of parasiticrelationship with other ants.10. Which of the following statementsbest represents the main idea of thepassage?(A) Ants belonging to the genusFormica are incapable ofperforming certain tasks.(B) The genus Polyergus is quitesimilar to the genus Formica.(C) Ants belonging to the genusPolyergus have an unusualrelationship with ants belongingto the genus Formica.(D) Polyergus ants frequently leavetheir nests to build new colonies. 11.

There are many museums devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor; the rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincidedwith developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private house.The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.20. What does the passage mainlydiscuss?(A) The reason that Winterthur wasredesigned(B) Elements that make Winterthuran unusual museum(C) How Winterthur compares toEnglish country houses(D) Historical furniture contained inWinterthur 21.

The word "assembled" in line 11 Isclosest in meaning to(A) summoned(B) appreciated(C) brought together(D) fundamentally changed25. The word "it" in line 12 refers to(A) Winterthur(B) collection(C) English country house(D) visitor 26.

Where in the passage does theauthor explain why displays atWinterthur have changed?(A) lines 1-3(B) lines 5-6(C) lines 7-10(D) lines 13-16Line (5) (10) (15) (20) Questions 30-39The modem comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to today's Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst's rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.Both were immensely popular, and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the "Yellow Kid," the first continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst. The "Yellow Kid" was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip, usually placed above the characters' heads.The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks's "Katzenjammer Kids," based on Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz, a European satireof the nineteenth century. The "Kids" strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of most earlier comics.Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. They first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic stripshad become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.30. What does the passage mainlydiscuss?(A) A comparison of two popularcomic strips(B) The differences between earlyand modern comic strips(C) The effects of newspapers oncomic strip stories(D) Features of early comic strips inthe United States 31.

The passage suggests that comicstrips were popular for which of thefollowing reasons?(A) They provided a break fromserious news stories.(B) Readers enjoyed the unusualdrawings.(C) Readers could identify withthe characters.(D) They were about real-lifesituations.33.

No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars isso slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month.40. What is the main point of the firstparagraph?(A) The waves created by oceancurrents are very large.(B) Despite the strength of the wind,it only moves surface water.(C) Deep ocean water is seldomaffected by forces that movewater.(D) The tides are the mostpowerful force to affect themovement of ocean water.41.

The words "In reality" in line 8 areclosest in meaning to(A) surprisingly(B) actually(C) characteristically(D) similarly43. It can be inferred from the passagethat the most important factor indetermining how much gravitationaleffect one object in space has on the tides is(A) size(B) distance(C) temperature(D) density44. The word "correspondingly" in line 11is closest in meaning to(A) unpredictably(B) interestingly(C) similarly(D) unusually45. What is the cause of spring tides?(A) Seasonal changes in theweather(B) The gravitational pull of the Sunand the Moon when nearly in linewith the Earth(C) The Earth's movement aroundthe Sun(D) The triangular arrangement ofthe Earth, Sun, and Moon46.

He had been studying very hard one year, and when he passed all his exams, his friend Jim went to give him his congratulations and then had an earnest talk with him.―You‘ve never been to a dance, George,‖ he said. ―It‘s boring always studying and never enjoying oneself. Come out with me this evening.‖―Maybe you‘re right, Jim,‖ replied George after a moment‘s hesitation.So they went to a dance and had a very good time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim had become worried about him, so he said, ― now we‘ll walk home in the cool air.‖On their way home, they came to a bridge, and George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected in its surface.―What are those lights down there?‖ George asked.―They‘re the stars, George,‖ Jim answered.―The stars?‖ George said. ―Well, then, they should be above in the sky. How did I get so high up here? They are now at my foot!‖1. According to the passage, when did Jim go to see George?A. After George had passed all his exams.B. Before George had taken the exam.C.

There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.6.In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices7. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grassB. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientificC. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmenD. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student8. From this passage we can infer that ______.A. we‘ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only way to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries late based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a collegestudent9. The author advises the college student to ______.A. be contemptuous to the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefullyD. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection10. The main idea of this passage is about ________.A . what to learn from the parents B. how to gain knowledgeC. why to learn from craftsmanD. how to deal with experience(III)CIn Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn‘t too diligent (勤奋) about that either.One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to ‗put them up‘. I couldn't put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members‘ store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!11.

But when she got to the new school, she felt very lonely.With a sigh(叹气), Emma turned her attention back to the present.

Now, I want everyone to find a partner. ”Emma didn't have any friends yet—who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl. “Could I be your partner？” Emma asked uncertainly.“Sure, ” said Julia warmly.Together, the girls walked into the center. After the presentation, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirrels. Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels.After the babies finished eating, the keeper asked, “Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too？”Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out. Emma remained calm(镇静的), held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it.“Wow！” Julia said. “You're always so quiet. I thought you were afraid of everything, but you are brave. ”“I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm. ”The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center？”“Interested?

There are some ways for you to learn to relax.Firstly, reduce(减) some of the jobs you do each day. So you can leave time for some relaxing and fun activities, like reading a good book, listening to sweet music,going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.Secondly, get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate on the things you need to do.Next, exercise often and eat healthily. You'd better eat less junk food or fast food.Then, get to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic(乐观的), while others are not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them. Then you'll be as happy as them.Moreover, learn to keep calm when you face problems. You know that you can probably solve the problems, and it is a good way to build up your self-confidence.Finally, have a happy attitude. Your attitude decides the way to see things. For example, is your cup half-full or half-empty? Learn to think more positively(积极地) about the difficulties you face.66. Why do lots of students feel stressed and tired?A. Because they think studying is boring.B. Because they have too much work to do.C. Because they watch TV a lot at night.D. Because they can't get on well with their friends.67.

The ones they like.68. How many ways for the students to relax are mentioned in this passage?A. Six.B. Seven.C. Eight.D.

九年级英语舞台表演单选题50题
九年级英语舞台表演单选题50题1. When the actor walked onto the stage, the audience began to _____.A. cheer upB. give upC. take upD. put up答案：A。
“cheer up”意思是“欢呼，喝彩”，在舞台场景中，观众看到演员上台会欢呼喝彩。
“give up”是“放弃”，“take up”是“开始从事，占据”，“put up”是“张贴，搭建”，都不符合观众看到演员上台的情境。
2. The actress wore a beautiful dress on the stage and it made her _____.A. stand outB. turn outC. come outD. go out答案：A。
“stand out”表示“引人注目，突出”，穿着漂亮的裙子会使女演员引人注目。
“turn out”意为“结果是”，“come out”是“出版，出现”，“go out”是“出去”，都不符合穿着漂亮裙子在舞台上的情境。
3. Before the performance, the dancers had a lot of _____.A. practicesB. practisesC. practiceD. practising答案：C。
“practice”作“练习”讲时，是不可数名词，所以用“practice”。
“practices”和“practises”形式错误，“practising”是动词的现在分词形式。
4. The play was so wonderful that the audience couldn't stop _____.A. clappingB. dancingC. singingD. laughing答案：A。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AGrowing up in the 80s as a child with lots of siblings, I played in the street until dark or until we were called for dinner. We had an amazing community of neighbours. However, one elderly neighbour hated us. Every time the football went into her garden, she would confiscate it – and then pop the ball. When she collected over 20 deflated footballs, she would take them down to the police station and complain. To her, at least, free and active children were a pest and a disgrace.Actually, at that time, nothing but one stopped us playing: the shattering of a window and thescream of a parent coming outside to tell us off. On reflection, I was probably part of the last generation of children to play outside regularly. Now in London, the estate I live in is covered with historic signs saying: “No ball games”.The signs function as a play ban for children. Even during the summer, there are only a couple of rebels who dare to play football on the street. They get my nod and a kick of the ball back when it comes in my direction.The problem is, many people don’t know that these signs are not enforceable by law: they are simply a request from local housing associations.Of course, if people are kicking the ball against someone’s house or out on the streets making noise late at night, it would be considered criminal damage and antisocial behaviour – and quite right. But most of the time the signs are just preventing children from playing.The London Sport charity has recommended that these signs are removed. I agree - let’s burn them all. But I do think it is simplistic to imagine banning the signs will combat a national obesity epidemic.The Active Lives Survey shows that just 47% of children in England are getting the recommended 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity a day. Removing “No ball games” signs doesn’t mean that the other 53% of children will feel motivated to venture outside and play.The Active Lives Survey also suggests that boys are more likely to be active than girls. Perhaps boys are still given more activity opportunities. The Lionesses（英格兰女足）win at the Euros football tournament highlighted the lack of opportunities for girls in football and inequitable sports curriculums in schools.Children and young people of black, Asian and other minority ethnicities are least likely to be active. Perhaps because racism in sport is alive and kicking?In addition, access to sport and physical activity is a social justice issue that depends on location and financial circumstances. For a child from an economically disadvantaged background, who lives in a high-rise flat with little green space around, the costs and practicalities of participating in sport are prohibitive. For example, a weekend tennis court costs anywhere between £10 and £27, without travel or equipment.So, while we can burn all the “No ball games” signs in the country, the real barrier to combating low activity levels in children is social inequality. What really needs to happen to get our children moving?56.What does the underlined word “confiscate” in Paragraph 1 mean in the context?A. Collect something as a hobbyB. Take something away as a punishmentC. Destroy something due to being annoyedD. Remove and make something disappear57.Why does the author believe that removing "No ball games" signs may not effectively combatlow activity levels in children?A. Because children prefer indoor activities.B. Because boys are more active than girls.C. Because access to physical activity is influenced by social inequality.D. Because of the lack of interest in sports among children.58.What conclusion does the author draw regarding the relationship between "No ball games"signs and low activity levels in children?A. Removing the signs will directly address the issue of low activity levels.B. Social inequality is the primary barrier to increasing children's activity levels.C. Boys are more likely to play sports than girls due to cultural biases.D. Racism in sports is a significant factor in preventing children from being active.59.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The author reminisces about their childhood and the changes in outdoor play.B. The ineffectiveness of "No ball games" signs in encouraging physical activity amongchildren.C. The impact of social inequality on children's access to physical activity.D. The author's support for removing "No ball games" signs but recognition of deeper issues.BFrom a distance, the grey cement bridge looksunremarkable. Two tunnels on either side of theTrans-Canada Highway are in semi-circles that endbluntly on the pavement below. But on top, awayfrom passing motorists’ eyes, lies a grassy oasis.Against the odds, pine trees and wildflowers havetaken root here, giving the overpass a fringe ofgreenery. On the edges, wire fencing provides safepassage for wandering animals.Tony Clevenger has dedicated much of his life to studying the performance of Banff’s wildlife crossing structures. When the first wildlife bridges went up, Clevenger, a researcher with the Western Transportation Institute, was living in Canmore, and recalls the distinctly negative atmosphere that surrounded what many saw as a hair-brained scheme by Parks Canada. Save for a few small crossings in the eastern United States, no one had ever attempted something like this before — and no one believed it would work. Editorials in the local paper scoffed at the “waste of taxpayers’ money” and confidently stated animals would never use the $2 million to $3 million man-made bridges. Others believed wolves would herd their prey into the fence, violently killing them before shocked tourists.“This project started in a bad spot. There was a lot of opposition and criticism,” Clevenger says. “It took several years of good data, publishing in scientific peer-reviewed journals, to change people’s minds.”Clevenger now has 17 years-worth of data proving the efficacy of the crossings. Among large carnivores, mortality (死亡) rates are 50 to 100 per cent lower along sections of the highway where overpasses and underpasses exist. In those same sections, mortality rates for elk are almost zero, compared to 100 elk-vehicle collisions per year in the mid-1990s. Clevenger’s research has shown that 11 species of large mammals in Banff have used the structures more than 200,000 times, including unexpected species such as red fox, hoary marmot, boreal toads, wolverines, lynx, gartersnakes and beavers.In 2014, a Montana State University study found that not only are grizzly bears using the crossing structures, but the structures are also helping to maintain genetically healthy populations among the bears that use them. Grizzlies were crossing with enough frequency to ensure populations on either side of the highway weren’t genetically isolated from each other.“This is Canada’s biggest conservation success story — it’s the largest highway mitigation complex in the world,” says Clevenger. “You won’t find anything anywhere else in the world close to what we have. We have the most overpasses in one localized area and almost half of all the overpasses in North America.”60.Why did Tony Clevenger face opposition and criticism at the beginning of the wildlife crossingproject?A. Because of disbelief regarding the project's feasibility and effectiveness.B. Due to the design flaws of the crossing structures.C. Because of concerns about the environmental impact of the structures.D. Due to insufficient funding for the project.61.Which unexpected species have been observed using the wildlife crossing structures in Banff?A. Grizzly bears and elk.B. Wolves and red foxes.C. Garter snakes and beavers.D. Hoary marmots and wolverines.62.How did a Montana State University study contribute to the understanding of wildlife crossingsin Banff?A. It confirmed the disbelief surrounding the effectiveness of the crossings.B. It identified design flaws in the crossing structures.C. It criticized the Canadian government's conservation efforts.D. It provided evidence of grizzly bears using the crossings and maintaining genetically healthypopulations.CBoth my parents worked for 30-plus years for their employers – they had lifelong careers at a single company. Growing up, they taught me the importance of “loyalty” and “commitment”.But in a rapidly changing world, the concept of a job for life has become as rare as a dial-up internet connection. This shift from stable, long-term employment and single-employer careers to a world where frequent job changes are the norm comes directly from globalisation, rapid technological advancements and the changing ideas about work.Globalisation has turned the world economy into a giant, interconnected web. This has made job markets fiercely competitive and talent and opportunities in the labour market more diverse and digitally accessible.Jobs can be widely publicised and explored online and are no longer tied to your city of birth. Add to this the rapid technological progress. We now live in a world where the skills you learned yesterday might not be enough for today’s job market.The job market is transforming, with new careers emerging as automation and artificialintelligence (AI) advances. Risks and price policies can be efficiently assessed using AI, making insurance underwriters redundant while advanced software in banking and finance mean data analysis can be automated.Online booking has reduced demand for travel agents and desktop publishers are being replaced by user-friendly software, which allows people to create their own materials. These changes highlight the need for professionals to update their skills and adapt to a technologically evolving job market.As a result, career paths have become fluid and multi-directional. It’s no longer just about climbing the corporate ladder and getting a regular paycheck; it’s about exploring different paths, switching jobs and industries and sometimes even venturing into freelancing and the gig economy.Loyalty is defined as an employee’s commitment to their organisation and its goals. It means a willingness to put in extra effort and to uphold the company’s values and objectives. Loyal workers often identify strongly with their workplace, are reliable and view the organisation positively, even during tough times.When long-term employees change workplaces, it does not mean they are disloyal. It signifies a change in priorities and a redefined loyalty bond. Employees are loyal to their employer and its interests while working there. But they also seek mutual growth and expect to be recognised and rewarded.Career paths are now a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of experiences and opportunities. Instead of a career identity being about a company brand, it is about skills, experiences and the meaningfulness of the work. This transformation means career decision-making is more intricate, considering personal aspirations, market trends and family considerations.63.What factors have contributed to the shift in job market dynamics?A. Increased reliance on desktop publishing software.B. Changing ideas about loyalty and commitment.C. The decreasing demand for travel agents due to online booking systems.D. Globalization, rapid technological advancements, and evolving work concepts.64.What skills are highlighted as essential for professionals in the evolving job market?A. Skills related to desktop publishing.B. Skills that were relevant yesterday.C. Skills in data analysis and adaptability.D. Skills in insurance underwriting.65.How does the passage suggest employees should approach loyalty in the modern workplace?A. By remaining with a single employer for their entire career.B. By prioritizing personal growth and recognition.C. By relying on traditional definitions of loyalty.D. By avoiding job changes to maintain loyalty.66.The best title for the passage is _______.A. Forget About a Job for Life.B. Learn More as Much as You CanC. Benefit from Long-term Employment.D. The Impact of Globalization.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.This recurrent nature provides astronomers with some predictability regarding its eruptions,aiding in their monitoring and preparation for the upcoming event.B.The mechanism driving these eruptions is the transfer of matter from the red giant to thewhite dwarf.C.It consists of a white dwarf and an aging red giant star.D.This heightened visibility will last for a few days without the need for any equipment andslightly over a week with the aid of binoculars.E.Astronomers plan to utilize various instruments, including the Hubble Space Telescope andthe Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, to observe and study the nova in different wavelengths of light.F.However, during its peak brightness, it is expected to shine as brightly as Polaris, or the NorthStar, making it visible to observers in the Northern Hemisphere.Astronomers are eagerly anticipating a celestial(天体的) event that promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime sight: the appearance of a "new star" in the night sky, expected to occur sometime between now and September, as reported by NASA. This event, known as a nova (新星), is projected to take place within the T Coronae Borealis system, nestled in the constellation(星座) Corona Borealis, situated between the Boötes and Hercules constellations.In contrast to the explosive demise of a massive star seen in a supernova, a nova is characterized by a sudden, brief explosion originating from a collapsed star, specifically a white dwarf. The T Coronae Borealis system is affectionately called the "Blaze Star." (67) _______________________ These stars orbit closely enough to interact violently, leading to periodic explosive events, with the last eruption observed in 1946.(68) _______________________ Over time, the red giant becomes increasingly unstable, shedding its outer layers onto the white dwarf. This exchange of matter eventually triggers a "runaway thermonuclear reaction," resulting in the nova phenomenon, according to NASA.While the precise timing of the upcoming nova event remains uncertain, astronomers are closely monitoring the T Coronae Borealis system, which has been dimming since March of the previous year. William J. Cooke, lead of NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office, notes that while most novae occur unexpectedly, T Coronae Borealis is one of the 10 recurring novae in the galaxy, offering some predictability to its eruptions.Located approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth, the T Coronae Borealis system is typically too faint to be seen with the naked eye. (69) _______________________ Once the nova reaches its peak brightness, it will appear as if a new star has emerged in the night sky, remaining visible for a few days without any equipment and slightly over a week with binoculars before gradually fading from view over the course of about 80 years.。
