The other night I had dinner with my friend Kim, who in midlife is trying to change her career. She has spent decades as a successful photographer, but she knows it’s time to do something different. What, _______ , is she qualified to do, besides photography? “I’m good at parties, ” she told me with a shrug. “And parallel parking.” We refilled our wineglasses and laughed really hard as we dreamed up the various careers in which that particular _______ might be useful. Here's a(n) _______ exercise: Ask yourself what you’re good at, aside from the skills you use at work. After my conversation with Kim, I put this question to a handful of friends and got_______ ranging from “finding restaurants for people” to “spotting terrific old chairs.” The more I think about my own answer to this question, the more confused I seem to get. A year ago this month I _______ a job, and a career, which brought me great satisfaction for more than two decades. Can serendipity be a strategy? It certainly worked for me. I happened to find a field in which my ______ and the requirements of the job overlapped. Like most of my friends, I spent my 20s and 30s marching ______ along my given path, working hard, with purpose, and by the time I reached my 40s, I was able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Isn’t that the way the American Dream goes? Here’s what you learn when you ______ that dream: pride is the unpleasant by-product of success. If you are really good at your job for a long enough time, you begin to _______ that you can be good at any job and therefore can easily jump from one thing to another, switching horses in midstream.

People have relied on the forests of the Yucatan Peninsula for thousands of years. The ancient Maya who built the great cities of Tikal，Palenque and Calakmul used the region’s trees for building material and fuel wood. But populations on the peninsula grew so large that by around A.D. 900，the Maya had deforested large areas, leading to frequent natural disasters. Eventually they were forced to abandon most of their cities entirely. Today, Yucatan forests are home to around 500 kinds of trees. But only a few of those---including the mahogany Swietenia macrophylla, with its beautiful, workable and rot-resistant wood---are real moneymakers. One large trunk can net $1,000 or more. And because it grows in isolated groups, it’s an easy species to harvest selectively. “Mahogany is king, ” says Ellis. Noh-Bec is not ancient; it was founded in the 1930s by chicleros —people who made their living mainly by harvesting natural chewing gum from chicle found in trees rich in the Yucatan. They began to see mahogany’s value in the late 1970s and early ’80s, when communities regained the power to manage their own forests under the existing ejido system. In ejidos, elected councils run parcels of land, though government regulations still limit what they can do. Noh-Bec community members capitalized on their autonomy by building a sawmill and, later, charcoal furnaces to process and market furniture and other wood products. In 1993, the community also became the first forest certified as sustainably harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council, earning it a profit in international markets. Noh-Bec’s profits now come mainly from cutting and selling mahogany to developed world customers who want to know that their purchases don’t contribute to deforestation. 【1】What did the Maya do that finally led them to desert most of their cities? A.They found more valuable trees. B.They ignored the natural disasters. C.They overused the Yucatan forests. D.They kept the population under control. 【2】What does Ellis mean by “mahogany is king”（in paragraph 2)? A.Mahogany is among the trees that will bring people fortune. B.Mahogany is one of the biggest kinds of trees in Yucatan. C.Mahogany is a species that exist in Yucatan in the largest quantities. D.Mahogany is regarded as a kind of trees that appeal to visitors most. 【3】What can we learn from the passage about Noh-Bec? A.It has a history of more than 100 years. B.It funded the Forest Stewardship Council. C.It was totally independent of the government. D.It cuts trees in a way that is friendly to the forest. 【4】The best title of the passage might be . A.An ancient community B.Money trees C.A profitable forest. D.Harm of deforestation.

As an archaeologist at Florida State University, Jessi Halligan and her team made a discovery, reported this past spring, in the Florida section of the Aucilla River. Deep in a sinkhole, buried in a pile of sand and mastodon dung was a small, ancient knife used for hunting and cutting meat from the bone. The dung dates back roughly 14,500 years—some 1,500 years before the Clovis people, who were long thought to have been America’s first human residents. Discover caught up with Halligan to learn more about the find and the world of underwater archaeology. Q: First off，what’s the impact of the Aucilla River knife discovery? A: A lot of us thought the Americas were populated by folks who came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge into Alaska and Canada. However，Canada wasn’t walkable 14,500 years ago—it was covered by ice. So if people were in Florida 14,500 years ago and there was no land route through Canada, then the first people who came to the Americas probably came by boat. Therefore, we really need to start re-examining when and where people came from and what we thought we knew. We don't have all the answers we thought we did. Q: Why did you decide to get into archaeology? A: To me, if s that combination of things: using your body as a tool to help you understand things, as well as using your brain to think about what those things meant and applying that to the big picture about people. Q: How many underwater archaeologists are there? A: For every 100 archaeologists, maybe one to five of them are underwater archaeologists, and most of them are shipwreck archaeologists. I’m one of only a few dozen maybe in the whole world who focus on landscapes that got covered by sea level rise or prehistoric settlements that were land but ended up underwater. Q: _______________ A: The water’s really dark，so you can’t see very far, and you can’t have as many people working at the same time. Also, you can’t talk underwater, so you have to communicate through hand signals, which can slow things down. 【1】According to Halligan, in what way is the Aucilla River knife discovery important? A.It is among the discoveries that have been made by archaeologists like Halligan. B.It can solve the mystery why Canada remained unwalkable 14,500 years ago. C.It provides a new perspective to think about America’s first human residents. D.It helps to answer where early Americans came from and when they arrived. 【2】What is special about Halligan as an archaeologist? A.She excels in water sports like diving. B.She studies the water area that used to be land. C.She focuses mainly on the research on shipwreck. ' D.She is interested in early human residents in America. 【3】Which of the following is most likely to be the last question? A.What are some of the challenges you face underwater? B.What has been misunderstood about archaeology? C.What appeals to you most in your job? D.What good does this job give to you?

For something so essential, water management is all too often lacking in advancement. Ifs about playing a waiting game—waiting for the rains to return in time and the reservoirs (水库） and groundwater reserves to refill. Often the rains do come. But in long-term cases waiting is highly dangerous. Witness the Cape Town water crisis. When “day zero” strikes—the day engineers turn off taps, in about 10 weeks----many will suffer, causing, potentially, social unrest and instability. The reservoirs that supply water to the city of Cape Town are nearly empty due in part to below-average rainfall for many years, but also, and maybe more importantly, because of increased “abstraction”---the city has grown (by almost 80% since 1995) and needs more water. But this is hardly a unique situation, with climate change projected to result in more frequent extreme droughts (干旱)and rises in urban population putting ever more pressure on limited water resources. In short, the climate is changing and cities are growing. Cape Town might just be the right moment to make a shift. Public awareness is high, hence there is political willingness to come up with solutions. Often these are of the engineering variety. In Cape Town desalination plants are rapidly being built. But such a solution is expensive and often unsustainable. It has serious environmental impact and can increase water demand, leading to problems for future generations. The truth is that engineering options are seen as easier and less politically sensitive than actually managing water demand. More importantly, we have to change our ways. Look at Melbourne, for example. The city was severely hit by the millennium drought between 2001 and 2010, but it managed to reduce per-person water consumption by nearly 50% over this period. Some of the temporary water use restrictions were made permanent, transforming the city. The use of recycled water, reducing leaks, increasing efficiency and, most importantly, long-term planning all played a part. Public awareness and political will need to be in harmony. So, yes, householders should conserve water but policymakers can’t be afraid to take action，even when it includes (initially) unpopular measures. There’s no need for fatalism—we can prevent future water crises, instead of waiting for the rains to come or providing expensive, short-term engineering solutions. Or, even worse, going back to business as usual when the drought is over. 【1】According to the author, what has caused the Cape Town water crisis? A.Extreme droughts and demands for reservoirs. B.Below-average rainfall and “day zero” strikes. C.Climate change and urban development. D.Social unrest and instability. 【2】What does the author think of Cape Town’s building desalination plants? A.It may not win political support. B.It fails to be a permanent solution. C.It requires more advanced technology. D.It will not be understood by the public. 【3】What does “fatalism”（in the last paragraph) most probably mean? A.A problem whether engineering solution are feasible. B.A belief that something unexpected will happen. C.A doubt whether the rains will come or not. D.A feeling that we can’t take control. 【4】Which of the following solutions to water crises is the author most likely to agree to? A.Finding more accurate ways to forecast when it rains. B.Restricting the amount of the water that people use. C.Looking for temporary water supplies. D.Increasing groundwater pumping.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Dear Children, As you know, for years I’ve planned to write up the memories I’ve been saving on paper since you were young. “Guess Who Gets to Keep the White Rat for the Summer?” was one of my favorites. 【1】. We do have an interesting history with animals，don’t we? Now that you are grown and off having adventures with your own children, I’ve enrolled in a memoir-writing class. You know what? 【2】 I wake up in the middle of the night with just the right thought in my mind. Grabbing notepaper and pen, I go in the bathroom and write it down. But l'm having trouble getting back to sleep these days and find myself nodding off in my chair after dinner. I also carry around a notebook in my purse to capture the thoughts I'm coming up with during the day when I’m driving around or at the grocery store. The notebook takes up so much space in my purse! Your dad is supportive, but it^ a mistake to let him read my articles while I'm composing them, I find. Last week he very nicely said, “I don’t like the way this sounds. Why don’t you say so-and-so?” and I didn’t handle it too well. In fact, I said, “Please! 【3】 I'm not changing it.” We are encouraged to be original, so instead of writing “I remember,” I said something like “The long-dormant brain cells were activated again,” and he said, “That’s corny. Why don’t you say 'sweet memories’?” To which I replied，“We’re supposed to be original. ‘Sweet memories’---that’s so everyday.” Later I decided it sounded ridiculous. But the right expression came—during the night. Naturally, I jumped up and got it written just the way I wanted. So, my dears, I’ve decided it’s fun to write and relive all the memorable times I’ve enjoyed in my life and to share the happy days of your growing-up years. 【4】 And frankly, I think your dad misses me watching those great PBS shows with him. He says he’s lonesome. Enjoy the ones I’ve written because I’ve decided not to write any more memoirs. Love, Mom A. But I think at my age, I need my rest. B. It’s such a struggle! C. Give me more support, will you? D. I read this in class, and they thought it was good. E. It’s always the best ever memories to me. F. And the one about the baby crocodiles who lived in our backyard pond.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. The enduring power of print for learning in a digital world Today's students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers. We’ve seen students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks. Given this trend, it might be assumed that students' familiarity and preference for technology translates into better learning outcomes. But more and more studies show that it’s not always the case. So, there are some lessons that can be conveyed to us about print’s place in an increasingly digital world. We all read for many reasons. Sometimes we're looking for an answer to a very specific question. Other times, we want to browse a newspaper for today’s headlines. As we’re about to pick up an article or text in a printed or digital format, we should keep in mind why we're reading. There’s likely to be a difference in which medium works best for which purpose. One of the most consistent findings of the studies is that, for some tasks, medium doesn't seem to matter. If all students are being asked to do is to understand and remember the big idea or gist of what they’re reading, there’s no benefit in selecting one medium over another. But when the reading assignment demands more engagement or deeper comprehension, students may be better off reading print. Teachers could make students aware that their ability to comprehend the assignment may be influenced by the medium they choose. This awareness could lessen the difference in students’ judgments of their performance compared with how they actually performed. In another experiment, researchers were able to create meaningful records of college students based on the way they read and comprehended from printed and digital texts. Among those records, it was found that a select group of undergraduates who actually comprehended better when they moved from print to digital. But they actually read slower when the text was on the computer than when it was in a book. Using this select group as a model, students could possibly be taught or directed to fight the tendency to glide through online texts.
