【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
“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,抱負(fù))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 2016 by job website—Co.uk,in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 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(標(biāo)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(非傳統(tǒng)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(樂觀主義)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
(1)What is the passage mainly about?
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.
(2)What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?
A.Medicine.
B.Law.
C.Bank.
D.Education.
(3)All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except .
A.respect from others
B.the oldest profession
C.high pay
D.upward social class
(4)What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?
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.
【答案】
(1)A
(2)A
(3)B
(4)B

(1)A主旨大意題。根據(jù)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.可知文章介紹的是年輕人心目中想要的職業(yè)。故A正確。

(4)B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training...可知特殊的教育和訓(xùn)練可以幫助找到好工作,故選B項。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life as a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
(1)According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?
A.They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.
B.They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C.They watch TV or read newspapers.
D.They listen to the radio every day.
(2)The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _____ .
A.people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B.people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C.people can read news stories in other countries
D.people can read news stories about their own country
(3)To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Five.
D.Six.
(4)According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?
A.You often play football with your friends after school.
B.Your teacher has got a cold.
C.A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.
D.The bike in the front of your house is lost.

【題目】閱讀理解
A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner's presence using hydraulics(液壓裝置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver's mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操縱桿). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner's likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver's taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keep with the moodiness that is the car's main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(轉(zhuǎn)向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car's ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness — a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights — which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
(1)The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A.fear
B.boredom
C.excitement
D.sleepiness
(2)According to the text, Pod can ___________.
A.rank the restaurant nearby
B.test the driver's driving skills
C.have a conversation with drivers
D.recommend a song to passenger
(3)If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.
A.the Led panel turns red
B.the tail rises at the back of the car
C.the front light turn blue and look like tears
D.the car stops and shake with loud music
(4)What is the author's attitude towards Pod?
A.Supportive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Pessimistic.
D.Tolerant.

Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聾。﹕chool. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.
She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.
They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.
Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.
