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 bined 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 dont be afraid to show your personality.I was excited when I found out that Id 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.Its been a brilliant experience and I can fully remend the Cambridge University Press Graduate Programme. Even if its 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 bined 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 the authors attitude towards the programme?A. Cautious. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.CBirds 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 bee 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 bine 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 meansA. fly high B. appear soonC. increase quickly D. change regularly 48. According to Pimm, the extinction rate of birds is_.A. one species per hundred yearsB. one species every yearC. three species per yearD. 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 ExtinctionB. Humans Responsibilities for Bird ProtectionC. Bird Extinction Rates Far Worse Than RealizedD. Bird Extinction Occurring on Islands and ContinentsDOnline ticketing has been effective for the London theatre market. The advantages ing 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 parisons.C. By showing differences.D. By giving examples. 53.
