When I graduated with a degree in English Literature from Exeter University, my head was filled with ideas about what I wanted to do next. Work experience helped me narrow down my choices to a top two: publishing and teaching. The only problem was deciding which one to choose!
Eventually, I applied for a job at a local magazine. It was a small team so I had the opportunity to get connected with all aspects of magazine publishing from editorial to advertising. I was promoted to assistant editor and enjoyed the mix of creativity and business skills necessary for the role.
When I started to consider my next career move, my thoughts turned to educational publishing. I loved working at the magazine, but I wanted to do something which combined my love of education too. I spotted the job opportunity for the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme.
The recruitment (招聘) process for the Graduate Programme was certainly strict, including a spoken reasoning test, a personality test, a phone interview and an assessment day. The best advice I can give to anyone applying for a programme like this is to be yourself and don't be afraid to show your personality.
I was excited when I found out that I'd got the job. During the programme, I got the opportunity to work on our latest digital products, travel to book fairs abroad, visit schools to meet our customers, manage our social media accounts and sign off books to be published.I received fantastic support from colleagues at the Press, not just from my line manager and tutor, but everyone I met along the way.
Working in lots of different departments around the Press helped me identify where I wanted to end up and now I have a role which fits my interests and skills, working on content development in the Cambridge Learning for Schools team.
It's been a brilliant experience and I can fully recommend the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme. Even if it's been a couple of years since you left university, the programme is a great way to get into publishing and progress your career, so go for it!
44. Why did the author apply for the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme?
A. She desired to do something more creative and challenging.
B. She wanted to do a job combined with her love of education.
C. She needed different jobs to improve her business skills.
D. She longed for better education to get further promoted.
45. What is talked about in Paragraph 4?
A. Advice on the programme application.
B. Types of work in the press company.
C. Support of colleagues and tutors.
D. Experiences in changing jobs.
46. What is the author's attitude towards the programme?
A. Cautious.
B. Uninterested.
C. Doubtful.
D. Supportive.
C
Birds enjoy a relatively slow rate of extinction but a new study suggests that rate might be severely underestimated(低估). Even worse, if human actions continue, bird extinction rates could skyrocket and 12 percent of the known bird species(物种) could be dying out by the end of the century.
Presently there are 10,000 known bird species — most identified after 1850 — and an estimated 130 of those have become extinct since 1500, setting the extinction rate at about one species every four years.
But according to Stuart Pimm of Duke University, this rate fails to take into account three key points: The continual identification of extinct bird species from fossil remains; numerous "missing" species not yet declared extinct; and the fact that present extinction rates were not calculated using the proper baseline date for when the species was first described.
Taking these points into consideration, the extinction rate is closer to one bird species per year, says Pimm, the leading author of the study. And the rate could be three times as high as that if not for recent bird preservation efforts.
In previous centuries, bird extinctions took place mainly on islands as Polynesian peoples expanded into the Pacific or Europeans took over the Americas, wiping out birds along the way.
In recent years, scientists are seeing an increased number of extinctions on continents, again because of human activities. Habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, and climate change combine to harm many bird species. Before human influence, the estimated rate of bird extinctions would have been only one species per hundred years, researchers estimate.
Bird extinction rates are slower than for most animals, mainly because humans do more harm to other species and people take special efforts to protect birds. Still, if the present trends continue, the researchers estimate that the bird extinction rate will continue to climb to as many as 10 species per year,
47. The underlined word "skyrocket" in the first paragraph means
A. fly high
B. appear soon
C. increase quickly
D. change regularly
48. According to Pimm, the extinction rate of birds is____________.
A. one species per hundred years
B. one species every year
C. three species per year
D. ten species every year
49. What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraphs?
A. Humans have started destroying bird habitat in recent years.
B. Humans are doing more harm to animals than to birds.
C. Humans have made no effort to protect birds.
D. Humans are responsible for the bird extinctions.
50. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Humans' Fighting against Bird Extinction
B. Humans' Responsibilities for Bird Protection
C. Bird Extinction Rates Far Worse Than Realized
D. Bird Extinction Occurring on Islands and Continents
D
Online ticketing has been effective for the London theatre market. The advantages coming with it are many, but four in particular stand for the true value. They are accessibility, speed, advanced planning and avoiding the queues.
Accessibility is key from the viewpoint of both the theatre and the theatre goer. Theatres need to be able to reach out to the public. A show may have a market of millions if they concentrate efforts in London only, but that number will
increase to tens of millions if efforts expand nationwide.
From the point of view of a theatre lover, the fact that the West End, the central part of London is accessible to someone in Edinburgh is a major attraction. Most theatre lovers would be anxious to go to a West End play or musical, and securing tickets for their favourite show online allows them to realize that strong desire with ease. Making the journey to London and staying for a weekend is an added reward to the main event.
Another advantage is speed, with securing tickets now taking a matter of minutes. What is needed is a few minutes on the Internet, the relevant personal and credit card details, and a booking number with which to collect the tickets at the theatre on the night.
Of course, for tourists or professionals from out of town, Internet booking has made it possible to arrange entertainment for a specific evening well in advance. Occupying their time after conference hours can be a challenge for professionals. With tickets secured in advance, the plan can be made much clearer. Tourists, meanwhile, may include a night on the West End on their list of things to do. Booking before even arriving in the city helps to streamline their busy touring schedule.
The fourth advantage of buying London theatre tickets online is the fact that queuing is avoided. It is perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of the traditional visit to the box office, particularly when demand for Dirty Dancing tickets, for example, can have a person waiting for hours before even reaching the box office window, even worse the sold out sign would suddenly appear before him.
These advantages reflect the true value of that mode of online ticketing. It has pleased the theatre lovers, expanding theatre markets. It is likely to bring more and more benefit to the theatre world.
51. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reality of theatre market in London.
B. The appearance of online entertainment.
C. The benefits of buying theatre tickets online.
D. The arrangements of spending a day in London.
52. How is Paragraph 6 mainly developed?
A. By describing activities.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By showing differences.
D. By giving examples.
53. Which of the following shows the development of the ideas in this passage?
CP: Central Point P:Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点)C: Conclusion

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的选项填入空白处。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is
a big hill on the route. He replied, "You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. 1 This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I ride my way up the hill, I comfort myself with the thought of all those who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery (not moving) exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. 2 She wrote, "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. "
The key to success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境). 3 Some are of our making but many are not our fault. While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs amputated(截肢) due to a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading pilots in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial(空中的) victories over the Germans. 4 He said, "Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. 5 "
The biographies(自传) of great people are filled with examples of how they took these kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common point is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.
A. He was an inspiration to others during the war.
B. Her behavior and writing proved inspirational.
C. He developed an action plan for how to deal with it.
D. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.
E. She took a positive attitude and wrote down some advantages of the situation.
F. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.
G. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, suffering and difficulties.
