She studied at Beverly Hills High School and then attended University of California and Columbia‎ ‎University. In 1993, she married TV writer and producer Richard Appel. The couple had two kids, Gabriel and Grace, before getting divorced.‎ Mona Simpson is a famous American novelist. She served as an editor for the Paris Review when she was a student at Columbia university. Her first novel was Anywhere but Here, which was released in 1986. This Whiting Award winning novel was a huge success and was even adapted as a movie later on. The sequel(续集) of the novel, titled The Lost Father, came out in 1992. After this, Simpson published her third novel A Regular Guy. This novel described the strained(紧张的) relationship between a father and his daughter. Then in 2000, the author’s fourth novel titled Off Keck Road got published, which told the story of three ladies in the Midwest.‎ ‎ In 2001, she started teaching creative writing at the University of California, Los Angeles.

A writer’s career B. A writer’s pursuit ‎ C. A writer’s way of life. D. A writer’s interest in literature C Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paying professions(职业) are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day.‎ In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest- paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelor’s degree for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.‎ ‎“The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement. “But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don’t require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”‎ Here are the top-paying jobs that don’t require you to work at a desk in various kinds, none of which require a four-year college degree and their hourly salary(工资) and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants: $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical(电动机械的) technicians: $24.68, 8 percent.‎ While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. turn off a switch B. look for a job C. keep on working D. give up working ‎28. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph?‎ A. A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.‎ B. The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.‎ C. The college degree is the ticket to a position.‎ D. A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.‎ ‎29. What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work?‎ A. High salary.                B. Medicine.‎ C. Information technology.               D. Service industries.‎ ‎30. Which job has grown the fastest since 2010?‎ A. Elevator repairers.               B. Professional assistants.‎ C. Electromechanical technicians.               D. Mechanical engineering technicians.‎ 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。‎ Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance.

We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.‎ ‎“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. ___32____It's great to watch them.

His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I ‎ thought to myself: “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd (书呆子).”‎ As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, he said, “thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him.‎ Over next four years, Kyle and I became the best friends. When we were seniors, he had the highest marks in the class and was chosen to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a lot, and I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak.‎ Graduation day, I saw Kyle. I said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those looks, the really grateful one, and said “Thanks,” smiling.‎ As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.”‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎3. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:‎ I smiled back in tears.‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 江苏省如皋中学2019-2020学年度高一下学期第一次阶段考试参考答案 听力:1.

Kyle had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I found he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. When his eyes caught mine, I was able to see tears shimmered in his smiling ‎ eyes.‎ I smiled back in tears. Not until that moment did I realize what big difference one small gesture had made to him. I even saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. It dawned on me that never should we underestimate the power of our actions. With one small gesture we can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇读后续写。要求考生就所给故事续写150字的文章, 使之成为一个完整的故事。‎ ‎【详解】前文主要讲作者上高中时，有一天看到了同班的凯尔带着所有的书回家。一群孩子将凯尔撞倒在地。作者跑过去，帮助凯尔把书和眼镜捡了起来。后来两个人成了好朋友。毕业典礼的时候，凯尔被选去做毕业典礼演讲。他在演讲时，要给大家讲一个故事。那么，下文中，首先要接着叙述凯尔讲的故事。根据所给关键词sadness，smile，grateful可以推知，这个故事肯定和作者有关系，并且这件事让Karl对作者心存感激，对他的高中生活有很大的影响。最后，作者应该叙述自己听到凯尔讲的故事之后的感受。‎ ‎【高分句型1】‎ It was not until that moment that I realized how much a small gesture had affected him. 直到那一刻，我才意识到一个小小举动对他的影响有多大。本句使用了强调句型。‎ ‎【高分句型2】‎ This handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment, which made the crowd amazing. 这位英俊、受欢迎的男孩向我们讲述了他最脆弱的时刻，这让观众们惊叹不已。本句使用了which引导的非限定性定语从句。‎
