Now it is time that you gained basic knowledge about ten mon fields of work and some types of jobs in that field. Here they are:Technology JobsThe technology field is always growing very fast, so job growth in the field is also constantly booming. Here, you are always in the cutting-edge. However, you always have to update your skills when you are working in technology. Engineering and IT graduates are people who primarily do work related to technology. Education JobsHere is a field which allows you to share your knowledge with others. You need subject-matter knowledge and teaching skills to be in this field. Most of all, you need plenty of hearts. While the everyday life of teachers may be tiring, education is one of the most fulfilling (令人满意的) fields to enter. You may need some certifications, though.Healthcare JobsHealthcare professions enable you to use a great knowledge base of the human body and of latest health advances so you can save lives, provide fort, cure illness, and maintain peoples health. Work here is often done in hospitals and private clinics.Science and MathematicsDiscovering new knowledge is the primary task of scientists and mathematicians. Training here takes a long time and goes beyond getting a bachelors degree. However, the work will be fulfilling, especially that you may be at the edges of revolutionary discoveries. You can also use any experience and research skills acquired in either field to work in regular employment settings.21. When you are in search of a job _.A. you should have gained work experienceB. you should know yourself well C. you should be expert in different job fieldsD. you should have a good mand of technology22. If you want to bee a teacher you should be _.A. efficient B. unwillingC. patient D. pessimistic23. The feature of working in technology is that _.A. you are always in a dangerous situationB. you have to deal with difficult problemsC. you need to often learn new knowledgeD. you have to get on well with others24.

Healthcare JobsBIn the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it. My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner. So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you dont set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You cant keep scores if you don t know what game you are playing. After my moms partner gave up, she had to abandon(抛弃) her business to support herself. She swore（发誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasnt a next time for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be. There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.25. The authors mum started her own business after she _. A. got continuous orders with her friend B. cooperated with one of her neighbors C. advertised her products in the neighborhood D. designed unique gift baskets for the holidays26.

A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.After 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winterborn mice, those that stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions（破坏） in their biological clocks.The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders.“We know that the biological clock regulates(管理) mood in humans,” said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”29Whats the main idea of the text?AThe biological clock regulates mood in humans.BPeople born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.CBeing born in winter has a negative effect on peoples mental health.DThe length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.30. The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by _.Adivided Btorn Chit Dended 31. Who is probably the reader of the passage?AA jobhunter. BA student in the university. CA newlymarried couple. DAn experienced dentist.DA young emperor penguin wont be getting a free ride all the way back to its Antarctic home, but the birds human friends in New Zealand will help it to get a little closer.The penguin is recovering well at Wellington Zoo, where it had a medical procedure on Monday to wash out much of the beach sand it had swallowed apparently mistaking it for snow.It may need a few months to recover, but wildlife officials have been trying to figure out how the 3-foot-tall bird will get home. Transporting it to Antarctica is near-impossible in the southern winter, and there are fears that the penguin may have acquired infections（传染病）in the warmer New Zealand environment that could spread to other penguins.On Wednesday, a group headed by the Department of Conservation decided officials will help the penguin get part of the way home by releasing it into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealandand letting it swim the rest of the way.“The reason for not returning the penguin directly to Antarctica is that emperor penguins of this age are usually found north of Antarctica on pack ice and in the open ocean,” the departments biodiversity spokesman Peter Simpson said. The bird is estimated to be about two and a half years old, a juvenile（幼稚）in a species that reaches breeding age at around four or five. It will be released on the northern edge of the region where young emperor penguins are known to live Simpson said he was unsure how far the penguin would have to swim before reaching its final destination.The logistics for the trip havent been set and penguin wont be released until it has recovered, which could be months. Until then, it will remain at the zoo.“The bird is isolated in an air-conditioned room filled with large blocks of ice.” said zoo spokeswoman, Kate Baker.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The warm environment of New ZealandB. Transporting an emperor penguin directly homeC. An emperor penguin found in New ZealandD. The group that saved an emperor penguin33. We can learn from the second and third paragraphs that_A. the penguin will have a medical examinationB. the penguin might be transported homeC. the penguin is now in good healthD. the penguin ate sand instead of snow by mistake34. According to the passage, Peter Simpson_A. is an official working at Welling ZooB. is the spokesman of the Department of ConservationC. is head of the Department of ConservationD. knows exactly the distance the penguin has to swim home35. The underlined word “logistics” in the passage means_A. practical arrangementB. designed symbolsC. skilled expertsD. strong disagreement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。选项中有两项为多余选项How Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overe alone. 37 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 plete a few tasks and reward yourself with a good dinner.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ive e to the conclusion that Im rubbish at saying “NO”For example, last Sunday I was sitting at my desk alone，totally 41 in my own business, when a colleague (同事) of mine phoned and asked me to get involved in 42 with her.
