Ask someone else what they think.20You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough.21If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions,then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine.Be more honest with people around you,and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you.A．They will be the tie breaker.B．You can check with someone else instead.C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler.D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment,they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment,they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly,when I call you smart or funny,I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny,that's how I see you.Have you considered contributing your skills and expertise virtually towards achieving sustainable human development efforts?Through the Online Volunteering service of the United Nations Volunteers(UNV)programme,you can connect with UN agencies,governments,public institutions and civil society organizations—from any device,anywhere in the world.While extending your network,you can also get first-hand practical experience.Requirements:·To sign up on the Unified Volunteering Platform and apply for Online Volunteer assignments,you must be at least18years of age.·There is no particular background required to become an Online Volunteer.Each Online Volunteer assignment is different and has its own requirements,set by the host organization.·As an Online Volunteer,you can only support organizations remotely in assignments up to20 hours per week for a maximum of12weeks for each assignment.Criteria and service rules:·Online Volunteers are not under contract with the UNV programme or the engaging organization.·Online Volunteers do not receive any kind of financial benefits.·For each Online Volunteering assignment,a maximum of25Online Volunteers can be engaged. Procedures:·Volunteers find assignments of their interest and apply.·Organizations select the volunteers they want to engage.·Volunteers and organizations work together online.·Volunteers and organizations provide feedback on their cooperation.·Organizations issue an electronic certificate of appreciation to their volunteers. 22．Through the UNV programme,one can______.A．travel around the world B．improve their network skillsC．set up civil society organizations D．work on sustainable development23．Which is a requirement for the applicants?A．Being no less than18years.B．Finishing25online assignments.C．Working at least20hours a week.D．Having some practical experience.24．When working in the UNV programme,volunteers will______.A．sign a contract with an organizationB．find tasks of their interest and applyC．get a paper certificate of appreciationD．receive some kind of financial benefitsYou may not get enough physical activity throughout the day,especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many jobs,at school,and in social situations.But there’s something you should know.Being physically inactive or sedentary(久坐不动的)can increase health risks.25What counts as being physically inactive?While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is.One measure is the time an individual spends seated or reclining(向后倚靠)during waking hours.26 Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than5,000pedometer (计步器)steps per day.27In the short term,being inactive can increase depression or anxiety.It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories.Over the long term,sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from cardiovascular(心血管的)disease,diabetes,and cancer.How can you prevent being inactive?Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either30minutes a day for five days a week or a total of2hours and30minutes per week.Walking is an easy activity to add to your day.28A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps.Many people aim to take10,000steps per day,which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal.29but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.A．How harmful is it?B．What’s the drawback of sedentary lifestyle?C．Fixing a sedentary lifestyle takes some conscious effort at first,D．Now let’s learn about whether you might be classified as inactive or sedentary. E．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health,F．It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. G．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentary.TikTok has many clever tips and tricks to make life a little easier.From creative advice to practical skills,there is something for everyone on the video sharing App.Many of these methods have left viewers open-mouthed at their simplicity or scratching their heads as why they hadn’t thought of them first.But to save you some boring scrolling(滚屏),we have made a list of the best TikTok life tips in2021.Ready to be impressed?Chop onionsChopping onions is an emotional experience or,at least,it looks it.The vegetable can make us tear up,and salty liquid flowing down your cheeks is never a stylish look.However,a woman created a makeshift protective gear out of a hooded sweatshirt(连帽运动衫)and a pan cover. Next step,New York Fashion Week.Clean car headlightsIt is vital that your cars headlights stay in good working order so as to keep you safe.If yours are fogged up,just use a lemon and some baking soda.Many netizens have claimed that this method can save them some serious cash.Bathe your dogIf your dog hates having a bath,why not try peanut butter?While this one may seem ridiculous,one TikTok video has shown it is effective.In the clip the pet can be seen licking it off the side of the tub,as the owner cleans his fur.“I don’t even know I am having a bath.All I know is peanut butter,”the caption(字幕)reads.30．What can we infer from the first TikTok life tip?A．Chopping onions can make you upset.B．You can find the protective gear in New York.C．The makeshift protective gear is creative.D．It’s stylish to have tears flowing down your cheeks.31．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The tips and tricks sound easy but are difficult to apply.B．You can use a lemon and some baking soda to bathe your dog.C．Cleaning car headlights with a lemon and some baking soda is economical.D．The author finds bathing a dog with the help of peanut butter ridiculous. 32．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To analyze the reasons why people like TikTok.B．To share some clever tips and tricks found on TikTok.C．To come up with some practical suggestions on TikTok.D．To call on people to share more tips and tricks on TikTok.What motivates you to work or study harder?Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve,or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you?Leaders,managers,and teachers have often used one of these ideas to inspire people to work harder and achieve more.33A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students.They found that if a test is seen as important,and students are optimistic that they can succeed,then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. However,if students are not confident,fear-based approaches could cause feelings of anxiety. 34The study also found that if students don’t care about the test,then,unsurprisingly,the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them.35It’s a fact that most new companies will fail.But does this motivate or prevent business people?Again,it’s not straightforward.The personal consequences of failure can be significant,and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them.A study carried out on British and Canadian businessmen found that fear of failure can improve problem solving,as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues.36So it will help their business in the long run.37It can drive confident people to do better,but it can also increase our doubtsand turn them into barriers.A．It may motivate them more.B．But is one better than the other?C．Fear-based motivation is complicated.D．Then it can in turn lead them to do worse.E．Businessmen often run the risk of failure.F．They may also be inspired to learn new things.G．Is this idea beneficial for you to succeed?四、语法填空38．Beijing Olympic Park,also(know)as the Olympic Green,is located in Chaoyang District,Beijing,with a total land area of11.59square kilometers.（所给词的适当形式填空）五、书信写作39．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你和你校交换生Jim准备联合参加学校组织的校园文创设计大赛(Campus Cultural and Creative Design Competition),请给Jim发邮件，内容包括：1.分享你的创意;2.询问Jim的建议。

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Wilson who died on Dec. 26, 2021 at the age of 92, was an extraordinary scholar in every sense of the word. By the time I met him in 1982, he’d made great contributions to science. For example, he discovered the chemical means by which ants communicate. He worked out the importance of the habitat size and position in protecting animals.In 1982 I cautiously sat down next to the great man during a break at a small conference on social insects. He turned, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m Ed Wilson. I don’t believe we’ve met. Then we talked until it was time to get back to the meeting. Three hours later I approached him again. He turned, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m Ed Wilson. I don’t believe we’ve met” Wilson forgot me but remained friendly. I was fresh out of graduate school, while Wilson was already very famous. Yet he didn’t hesitate to extend his hand to me, not once but twice.My work studying native plants and insects was inspired by Wilson’s descriptions of biodiversity. His 1992 book, The Diversity of Life, became the basis for an eventual turn in my career path. Throughout his career Wilson communicated the urgent need to preserve the natural world. As I see it, the only way to realize Wilson’s lifelong wish is to bury t he idea that humans are here and nature is someplace else. Providing a practical plan for protecting the earth has been my goal for the last 20 years, and I’m honored that it mixes with Wilson’s thought.4．When did the author meet Wilson for the first time?A. When the author was doing businessB. When the author was in graduate schoolC. When the author attended a small conferenceD. When the author was studying native plants.5．What did the author probably think of Wilson after they met?A. CleverB. DeterminedC. Creative.D. Kind6．What do we know about the author?A. He regularly had discussions with WilsonB. His research was influenced by WilsonC. He wrote a look under the guidance of Wilson.D. His opinion about nature was different from Wilson’s7．What does the author think the way to realize Wilson's lifelong wish is?A. Staying away from nature.B. Learning to coexist with nature.C. Conducting future research.D. Learning about all kinds of animalsThere’s nothing wrong with a tomato that isn’t perfectly rounded or a peach with an extra dimple (浅凹) or two; they still carry the same benefits and flavors as the versions we’re used to seeing in grocery stores. Farmers conventionally throw away these imperfect items, as many grocery chains won’t buy them for fear that they are unsellable. However, a growing group of grocery chains are fighting to make these deserted fruits and vegetables part of consumers’ buying habits.One such business is Imperfect Produce, a start-up that delivers fresh ugly produce to consumers. Through this service, you can get up to 20 pounds of fruit and veggies for around $20 a week. This is about a 30 percent discount compared to what’s currently sold in stores. Recently, the company had a major breakthrough when Whole Foods accepted their partnership and agreed to sell the misshapen (畸形的) produce.While this movement might be a new trend here in the US, it’s already gained serious momentum (势头) in Europe. In 2014, the E. U. announced the Year Against Food Waste, with French grocery chain Intermarche launching a very successful campaign called Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables and England’s Waitrose selling weather blemished apples. In Portugal, a similar company to Imperfect Produce called Fruta Feia has also taken off.Buying these unfortunate-looking foods should be appealing to consumers not only because of the affordability, but also because of the support it gives to farmers and the direct impact it has on decreasing food waste and the environmental pollution. It is believed that when the discarded fruits and vegetables decompose they release methane, a greenhouse gas that, when released into the atmosphere, is about 86 times as powerful as carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Waste is, in fact, the ugliest thing of all.8．What do farmers do with imperfect fruits and vegetables traditionally?A. Throw them away.B. Turn them into fertilizer.C. Donate them to charity.D. Store them for the winter.9．What is the purpose of Imperfect Produce?A. To make better profits.B. To sell imperfect produce.C. To get discounts from farmers.D. To compete with Whole Foods.10．What can we learn about Europe compared with the US?A. It has more successfully-run food chains.B. It produces less misshapen fruits and vegetables.C. It addresses the problem of misshapen produce earlier.D. It faces a more serious problem of unfavorable weather.11．According to the last paragraph, why is wasted food harmful to the environment?A. It pollutes the farms.B. It gives out a bad smell.C. It contributes to global warming.D. It produces lots of carbon dioxide.You don’t need to be an expert to recognize luna moths (蚕蛾). They have hairy white bodies, red legs and huge green wings that stretch up to 4.5 inches across. And at the end of their wings are a pair of long tails that have attracted scientists for centuries.Some of them theorized that it was possible that female moths judged the health and quality of a male by the size of his tails. But it turned out that female moths were not choosy at all. They just mate with the first males they could find. Others believed that the tails could increase luna moths’ size to make them harder for the bats-the main enemy of luna moths—to handle. But the theory proved wrong in 1903 when a scientist named Archibald Weeks put bats against a bigger species of moths that lacked tails. He found that the bats killed 66% of their targets. Luna moths, despite being smaller, were harder to catch. “Clearly, their tails provided an anti-bat advan tage,” Weeks observed. “I think they were used to direct bats away from the moths’ body.”He was roughly right. More than a century later, Jesse Barber from Boise State University put luna moths against bats in a dark room and filmed the hunting. Under normal circumstances, the bats only managed to catch 35% of the luna moths. But if Barber cut off their tails beforehand, the bats caught 81% of them. That was not because the moths became worse fliers—in fact, cutting the troublesome tails seemed to have improved their flying abilities.Barber explained that bats were not visual hunters. They found their food with a special sound. To be protected from bats, luna moths needed something that made confusing sounds. That was what the luna moths’ tails did: As they flew, they waved behind them and produced sounds that were similar to their wing beats. To bats, they either sounded like a huge part of their target, or like an entirely different target. As a result, they aimed about half their attacksat the tails.12．What is Arehibald Weeks’ important contribution?A. He found that bats are the main enemy of luna moths.B. He theorized that luna moths use their tails to confuse bats.C. He proved that Juna moths’ size is important for their survival.D. He observed that female moths prefer male moths with longer tails.13．What can be learned about bats from Jesse Barber’s conclusion?A. They are not visual hunters.B. They usually hunt in the day.C. They like bigger species of moths.D. They can fly further than luna moths. 14．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Bats.B. Wings.C. Luna moths.D. Tail beats.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Who Is Right About Luna Moths’ Tails, Barber or Weeks?B. How Do Bats Use Their Special Sounds to Search for Food?C. Why Do Luna Moths Have Such Troublesome Long Tails?D. What Are the Disadvantages for Luna Moths to Have Long Tails?二、七选五16． Maybe you are fearful of missing your holidays due to long waits for new passports.①_____Check your passport to see when it was issued“After travel took a pause for many holidaymakers during the pandemic, plenty of passports need to be renewe d. To beat any disappointments for your summer vacations, you’ll want to make sure that it has been no more than ten years since your passport was issued,” Naveen says. “②_____, including popular travel spots such as Egypt, Thailand, and Dubai.③_____“I’d recommend thoroughly checking your application before you send it off. Many delays are made through typical errors—such as incorrect photos or typos—which can worsen your chances of receiving a passport in time for a summer trip,” he continues.Go for digital rather than paperNaveen advises, “There are many variables(变数) that go into how long it will take to get your passport renewed—from a first- time passport to a child’s renewal. When it comes to the method of how you apply, digital applications generally take a short amount of time as partsof the application are less likely to get lost, plus the online process will be more efficient. ④_____Make an appointment in person or over the phone“With the current demand for travel in r ecent months, even the fast-track services for passport renewal are becoming overwhelmed so there is no quick fix(捷径) to receiving your passport on time,” he says. “⑤_____. Alternatively, look to book an appointment to one of the various passport centers across the country that way you can speed up the process in person and have someone on hand should there be any errors.”A. Ensure your details are correctB. Admit your information of passports is rightC. Many people don’t like the stressful life and want to travelD. Keep this in mind if you don’t want to end up being stuck in the waiting lineE. Naveen, founder of Next Vacay, has issued four tips to speed up the passport processF. You also need the minimum of three or six months to gain entry into many destinationsG. However, if you are traveling for an emergency, you may be able to accelerate the process三、完形填空（20空）Twelve years ago I decided to change my job from an English as a Second Language teacher to simply working at a department store childcare room, basically for better hours and benefits. My 1 were preschoolers. To my 2 , many of these 2-4 year old children 3 no English at all because shoppers at the store were families of employees at an international company with headquarters nearby.

She was 7 , having recently come from Mexico and 8 only Spanish. However, I knew some Spanish, so we 9 time playing together while she 10 to English-speaking children around her. Eventually she 11 a local preschool and became 12 in English. One day she came to the playroom an 13 said to me, “Teacher, remember when I called you ‘maestra’?” Her bright eyes were filled with 14 !The other child was also 3 years-old when she came to the 15 that was filled with blocks, crayons and paper, tea sets, etc. She had no 16 in the town because her family had just moved from another 17 . She went to preschool later on, also, and showed her great 18 in speaking English! Then one day…after a long time away… she came into theplayroom and said to me, “Let’s play blocks!” All our play was 19 with pleasure and learning and we played together cheerfully. From these children I learned to let extreme discomfort and the massive need for 20 become a springboard for joy and growth. 17．A. bosses B. charges C. aims D. workmates18．A. satisfaction B. regret C. excitement D. surprise19．A. encountered B. liked C. improved D. lacked20．A. delightful B. encouraging C. incredible D. lucky21．A. annoying B. worrying C. disappointing D. moving22．A. turned up B. left off C. played by D. looked around23．A. active B. brave C. nervous D. clever24．A. missing B. speaking C. wanting D. ignoring25．A. enjoyed B. wasted C. desired D. valued26．A. walked B. waved C. signed D. listened27．A. called on B. lived by C. participated in D. set up28．A. broken B. fluent C. trapped D. poor29．A. sweetly B. nervously C. hurriedly D. slowly30．A. sadness B. hatred C. confidence D. complaint31．A. shop B. playroom C. yard D. centre32．A. relatives B. teachers C. neighbours D. friends33．A. state B. school C. classroom D. street34．A. discomfort B. conveniences C. gifts D. shortage35．A. changed B. connected C. misunderstood D. removed36．A. pleasure B. concern C. notice D. learning四、短文填空37． The TV series, A Lifelong Journey, ①_____(earn) widespread applause, becoming the most-watched TV series on State broadcaster China Media Group in the past five years.

APatricia was worried. She had a job interview, and she wanted to look good. She decided to get some new clothes. The store owner, Pallas Hansen, helped Patricia find a suit. But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!How could Patricia do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet in San Jose, California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede started this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don’t find jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children. They can’t buy clothes for themselves.Pallas and Charlotte started the store in 1992 after they heard about a store like this in Chicago. V olunteers work in the store. Working women donate most of the clothes to the store. This makes it possible for thecustomers at Career Closet to get clothes for free.Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store. They also get confidence. Patricia is 36 years old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Patricia needed a job to support her seven children. She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse. “The whole day made me feel spec ial,” she said. Patricia was a success at her interview, and she got the job. One reason why she got it was that she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace.Pallas says,” I love this job. Sixty percent of the women get jobs. It’s like being a fairy god-mother.”21.

In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps”（programs downloaded for the iPhone）have been designed. Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-k illers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks(坦克). Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.28. People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______.A. they are busy reading booksB. they are not very politeC. thinking about their private thingsD. they are busy playing with their electronic equipment29. Those who like war games can download _____ to their iPhones.A. iShootB. iPodC. ISteamD. Tube Exits30. The underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means _____.A. delightedB. busyC. controlledD. amused31. The article tells us that _____.A. London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB. with all the new time-killers, London commuters often forget to get off the trainC. technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling timeD. Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 iPhonesDThe world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is that only great talent is not enough．I am often shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant (顾问) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money. It was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth”.There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke(破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial(财务的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．32．How did the mechanic find the problem in the car?A. by listening to the engineB. by listening to what the author saidC. by pulling it to the garageD. by driving it33．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They have no talents．B. They have no good skills．C. They don’t work enough．D. They don’t have financial intelligence．34．The success of McDonald's lies in its ．A. skills at making hamburgersB. excellent serviceC. talented workersD. good business systems35．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The world lacks smart, talented and gifted people.B. The world lacks skilled workers.C. The world lacks people like McDonald’s.D. The world lacks excellent doctors and dentists.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
