It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say t hat the United States has entered a brand new age , because Donald Trump, the country’s45th president, is very different from
any president before him.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most previous US presidents , who entered the Election after years of being politicians , Trump , 70 , was a New York real estate (房地产)businessman. And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man always caring , fair and intelligent.
Instead, Trump has a reputation of being short-tempered, self-centered and hateful Toward those who disagree with him. He also blames immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East.
But to his supporters, Trump is not a typical politician, which is actually one of his adv antages. “ We have seen our country take a down turn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction,” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “ Trump’s not a politician ...I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it , but you know what it is. ”
Interestingly , many who voted for Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils ” principle —one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.
“He’s the candidate I disagree less with ,” Jack Stucky, 20 , a student at Northwestern University , told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton. ”
25. What is the main purpose of the passage ?
A. To predict what changes Donald Trump would bring to the US.
B. To report on people’s different reactions to Trump’s win in the election.
C. To explore the advantages Donald Trump had over Hillary Clinton.
D. To analyze Donald Trump and the reasons for his victory in the presidential election.
26. According to the text , compared with Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump_______ .
A. cares more about keeping his public image perfect
B. is believed to be more experienced and flexible in politics
C. is considered more straightforward and trustworthy
D. holds a more tolerant attitude toward immigrants
27. According to the text , many who voted for Trump_______ .
A. believed he would be the best president ever
B. expected him to lead the US out of its downturn
C. were convinced that he would be always politically correct
D. felt that he was more fair and intelligent than Hillary Clinton
C
Is beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants（被告）. But in the executive（主管的）circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required.
This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who r ecently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would
vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
28. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.
A. makes women look more honest and capable
B. strengthens the manly qualities required
C. often enables women to succeed quickly
D. is of no importance to women
29. Bow man’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. has as little effect on men as on women
C. affects men and women alike
D. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
30. According to the passage, people’s views on beauty are often _____.
A. one–sided
B. practical
C. old fashioned
D. supportive
31. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the advantages of being attractive
B. the disadvantages of being attractive
C. equal rights for women
D. the importance of appearance
D
“Microbots” smaller than the width of a human hair could be highly effective and cost-efficient tools for removing lead and other pollutants from industrial waste water , according to a new study published in the journal Nano Letters last month. In the space of a single hour ,the study showed the microbots could remove up to 95 percent of lead from water.
Lead is commonly found in waste water from mines or factories that make batteries and electronic devices , and can cause a serious risk to public health , as the water crisis in Flint , Michigan shows. Industrial activities can also contaminate water with arsenic (砷), mercury(汞) and other metals.
Heavy metal pollution can cost big cities billions of dollars a year, said Samuel Sanchez ,co –author of the study and ICREA professor at the Institute for Bioengineering of Cataloniain Spain. He added that current methods of treating the water pollution either are expensive or produce secondary waste.
Sanchezs said his team imagined using the microbots “ for the pre-treatment of industrial waste water before dumping into a river ” .The microbots have three layers. The outer layer is made of something that absorbs heavy metals , while a middle layer makes the microbots ferro-magnetic (铁磁性的) so that they can be directed by external magnets. An inner layer reacts when hydrogen peroxide (双氧水) is added to the waste water , producing a stream of oxygen micro – bubbles that the microbots eject (喷射) to push themselves in the water. Once the bots finish their clean-up work, external magnets collect them for reuse. The heavy metal pollutants can also be recycled, making the process even more efficient.
“This technique can be helpful, so we imagine that small c ompanies can use microbots to deal with their water in case they can’t afford to bring their waste water to plants that handle polluted water,” Sanchezs said. “In my opinion, we should see first commercial use of self-driven microbots in the next couple of years. ”
32. The microbots are created mainly to ________.
A. remove heavy metals in rivers
B. help residents drink cleaner water
C. remove heavy metals from industrial waste water
D. remove different heavy metals from water
33. What does the underlined word “contaminate” in Paragraph2 probably mean ?
A. Circulate
B. Pollute
C. Surround
D. Pour
34. What Samuel Sanchez said in Paragraph3 mainly implies that_______ .
A. there is no way to treat pollution
B. it’s really costly to treat pollution
C. heavy metal pollution is hard to treat in big cities
D. cost – efficient tools for treating water pollution are important
35. What’s the function of hydrogen peroxide in the process?
A. To help the microbots move.
B. To work as external magnets.
C. To reduce oxygen micro - bubbles.
D. To make the microbots ferro-magnetic.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

In my experience as a human resources manager, many job applicants are unsuccessful because they fail to prepare for interviews. If you want to get that job, you must do your “homework”！
_ 36__ It is essential that you know what the company produces or sells, who its customers are, its size, and whether it has recently expanded or is planning to. If you also understand the culture of the organization, you can give yourself a competitive advantage by ensuring you are “on message” during the interview. _37__ Look out for words like “mission statement” and “vision” when you are doing your research; that is where you will find them.
__38 __You need to discover what exactly the job will involve, what sort of person the company wants and how your skills will fit the position. This is less easy, but the general information about the company will give you some clues. _ 39__There are so many websites giving information about different occupations that you are sure to find something useful. You could also ask friends if they know anyone doing a similar job that you could talk to.
Plan for the questions you will be asked and practice your answers. __ 40__Have a look at these and think about how you would reply. Some of the questions will be
quite straightforward. Others, however, are tricky and could catch you out if you have not thought them through ahead of time. For example, you might be asked, “What are your strengths and weaknesses？” It is not easy to give an honest answer to the “weaknesses” part without sounding negative unless you are well prepared in advance.
A. I suggest you search online for the job title.
B. Get information about the job itself.
C. The Internet is an excellent source.
D. By culture, I mean the company's principles and ideals.
E. Learn as much as you can about the employer.
F. Look at the products yourself.
G. You can find lists of questions on various career websites.

Always Be Grateful
As is known to all, it is one of the Chinese traditional virtues to be grateful to whoever has been kind and helpful to us.
In my opinion, our gratitude should first go to our parents because they not only provide us with food and clothing but also care for us in many ways. They are always willing to do whatever they can to ensure our happiness. Besides, it is they who give us life so that we can feel the world.
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Therefore, we should devote ourselves to studying so that we can live up to their expectations. It’s also important to express our gratitude whenever we get help from them by hugging or kissing.
A bunch of flower can also work.
In short, we should strengthen our sense of gratitude and take actions to repay their selfless love.。
