ATina Rees, 50English teacher (Canadian)I wanted to be a doctor and help people. I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance. The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.John Podeszwa, 45English school owner (American)I've always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp. When told I had to be something human, I chose zookeeper. I worked at a zoo in high school, but I wouldn't want to do that job now, although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals, since I own a honey bear, an albino snake (患白化病的蛇), a dog and some cats!Miwa Gilligan, 48Part-time worker (Japanese)As a little girl I wanted to be many things, and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles, that stuck with me.

Of course I would still like to become an actress.Hiromitsu Tokunaga, 55Sewage worker (Japanese)My dream job both as a child and now is to be an astronaut.

Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.Since fuel, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling materialbecause it is low in cost and easy to get.Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used to cover a small fire.A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.25. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?A. SandB. WaterC. A blanket.D. An extinguisher.26. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of .A. separating the fireB. reducing the heatC. removing the fuelD. cutting off the oxygen27.

What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Another class of firesB. Another type of extinguishersC. How fires break out.D. How fires can be prevented.CHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those mainareas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.30. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them withyour positionB. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with theposition when you select job.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the positionwhen you select job.D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.31.What is the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job Pay.B. Jobs and Environment.C. Job Skills and Abilities.D. Personalities and Jobs.DTo create “Washed Up Transforming a Trashed Landscape”, Alejandro Duran gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka’an, Mexico’s largest federally-protected reserve. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.Yet every day, plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores. These materials inspired Duran to create a series of environmental art pieces, which he records with photos and videos.I had the opportunity to speak with Duran. Duran was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn. He said that he’s been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years, and the work is ongoing. “The project will tell me when to stop”．Each piece can convey a vastly different mood, from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes. “I’m making art,” said Duran. “It comes from the context and my moods. You can’t say, only make something dark.” The work reflects and plays with natural forms, exploring how humans influence the environment. The colorful and playful images can be much attention-grabbing.“Beauty is a hook (钩子) to arrest people’s attention.” said Duran.In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem, Duran is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach clean-ups. He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka’an, and has identified objects from 50 different countries. Although there’s no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea, their labels show the global nature of the problem.32. What does Alejandro Duran do with the trash?A. He moves it away.B. He collects and burns it.C. He turns it into a form of art.D. He puts it together for people to see.33. What does Alejandro Duran mean by saying “The project will tell me when to stop”？A. He will stop the project soon.B. It’s hard to carry on the project.C. He will go on with the project.D. The project is important to him.34. Alejandro Duran runs the project mainly to________．A. recycle the trashB. change his careerC. clean up the beachD. raise public awareness about pollution35. What is the text mainly about?A. Plastic pollution in the ocean.B. An artist creating environmental art.C. The global nature of the pollution problem.D. Mexico’s largest federally­protected reserve.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
