19."When I grow up,I want to be…"
Almost all of us have thought about,or been asked to think about,our future careers.Our answers may differ greatly.Even now your aspirations(志向,抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However,it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste.In a survey carried out by Teens,doctors,lawyers,and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow.This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016by job website-Co.uk,in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions.Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society,and they make good money.What's more,these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices.Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in.Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career.
However,not every child has the makings of doctor,lawyer,or banker.They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas.As the Teens'survey discovered,a variety of unconventional(非传统的) jobs-coffee shop owner,waiter at a fast food restaurant-are among teenagers'career choices.They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge,and all career paths require specific education and training,you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
32.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.Careers in teenagers'mind.
B.Choosing a good job is very important.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
33.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17according to the article?A
A.Medicine.
B.Law.
C.Bank.
D.Education.
34.All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer exceptB.
A.respect from others  
B.the oldest profession
C.high pay  
D.upward social class
35.What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?B
A.Careers such as waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D.Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers.

解答 AABB
32.A 主旨大意题.根据文章第三段However,it seems career options aren't only based on personal taste.In a survey carried out by Teens,doctors,lawyers,and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow.可知文章介绍的是年轻人想要的职业.故A正确.
33.A 细节理解题.从文章第三段最后一句Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career.可知医学是最重要的,A项正确.
34.B 细节理解题.根据文章第四段中Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society,and they make good money.What's more,these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.可知受别人尊敬,高报酬和社会地位高都是医生和律师的优势.注意B项不是优势.故B正确.
35.B 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段With every choice comes responsibility and challenge,and all career paths require specific education and training…可知特定的教育和培训可以帮助找到一份好工作.B项正确.

10.To Mr.Alcohol
You've been with us for a long time.I won't forget all the pain you've caused for us.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party?You were there.My friends were  intrigued  by you.They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely."I'm so embarrassed,"they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐)."I'm sorry,"they said when I called taxies for them,walking them out and paying the driver in advance."This won't happen again,"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped (洗胃).Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons?Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car?He died the next morning too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all.She never saw him again.And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring(诱惑)in the people I love.Stop hurting me,please.

14.It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyson.As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.
Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,"Mum,it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."
At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better,"he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."
By now paramedics (救援人员) had arrived,and were attending the injured woman.As we walked up to her,my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him,"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."
At that,the old man started crying and said,"Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
29.What dose the author intend to tell us?D
A.One can never be too careful.
B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.Love begins with a little smile.
D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy.
30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.
B.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.
C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.
D.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support.

C.frightened 
D.excited
32.What would be the best title for the passage?A

Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

8.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour:walking cautiously to the woods,then running back to the house.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I leaned in to spy on him,I saw the most amazing sight.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion,lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God,Himself,was weeping with pride.
21.Why did the author follow her son?D
A.Because there might be danger.
B.Because her son was doing a good deed.
C.Because she intended to help.
D.Because she was curious.
22.Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?C
A.Rain was in great need.
B.Billy carried water with his small hands.
C.There were few trees in the woods.
D.Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.
23.Which is the correct order of the development of the story?B
①The author was moved to tears.
②Billy fed the water to the baby deer.
③Billy walked towards the large deer.

⑤The author followed Billy into the woods.
A.③②⑤①④
B.⑤③②①④
C.④①③②⑤
D.⑤②①③④
24.At the end of the story,the author might experience different feelings Except thatC
A.Billy was a pride.

9.Last week.we talked about Massive Open Online Courses.also called MOOCs.Tens of thousands,or even more,people Can take these classes all at once.You can be anywhere in the worht to take a MOOC.All you need is a computer and a network connection.
MOOCs add to a tradition of what is known as distance learning.For years,many colleges have offered classes that are taught partly or mostly online.MOOCs are available in subjects like comlmter science,engineering or mechanics.Can MOOCs in subjects like arts or the humanities(人文学科)be as effective?
Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada.He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs.Scott Anderson says,"There are pails that will be tine,insofar as mostly when students listen to a lecture.there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it."Mr.Anderson says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers.He says two ways to deal with this are.by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St.John Fisher College in New York.She says online education has some weaknesses for her subjects.
She says,"What's lost in online education is face-to-face interaction.And that old-fashioned approuch is not going to be replaced very quickly by computer-aided instrnction."Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments,blogs and discussion groups.But she believes that hybrid courses work best.She describes hybrids as mixing face-to-face course elements with computer-aided teaching and writing proiects.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown.He sees good value in online education.He noted a strong sense of communitv in an online ciyrse he once took.He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.
71.MOOCs are more popular in the world becauseD.
