The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning.‎ Frank I enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it’s great because I’m just doing what I like.‎ Gemma I love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging. As for my job – you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practice for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.‎ Raoul Most people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it’s not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss – he shouts at me all the time – even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don’t get much time off.‎ ‎1. What’ s the biggest attractions of Megan’s job?‎ - 11 -‎ ‎ A. The long holidays B.

Don’t worry! Here comes Linda Ellerbee. She is a well-known journalist (记者）behind Nick News, a special TV program for kids. As the show’s creator and reporter, Ellerbee talks about the news in a way that’s easy for children to understand.‎ ‎ This month, Nick News celebrated its 20th birthday. It is the longest running TV news program for kids. When asked why she started Nick News , Ellerbee’s answer is simple. “Kids have rights(权利）to know,” she says. “And they already do know, but maybe not all the facts.” She looks at her job on Nick News as more than news and help children understand what has really happened.‎ ‎ Ellerbee tries to balance bad news with good news, too. “Behind each sad story, there’s always someone or something trying to make it better,” she explains.‎ ‎ Besides important events, Nick News also reports the things that are going on in the world of kids. When deciding what to talk about in the program, Ellerbee says, “We think: What big events are kids unable to avoid(避免）? What are they already hearing about? What can we help them understand better?‎ ‎4.

In 1682, he noticed a comet that was especially bright and large. He spent a long time studying it. Then it disappeared from view. Based on his research, Halley guessed that this bright comet would return in 1758 or 1759. This was about 75 years after he first saw the comet. This same bright comet returned right on time. However, Halley died in 1742 and was unable to see it. Not long after that, the comet was named “Halley’s comet” in his honor.‎ Scientists who had been following Halley’s work began to look back through history. They learned that for centuries there had been mention of a comet in the sky about every 75 years, going all the way back to 467 B.C. Often, the return of Halley’s comet seemed to coincide (同时发生) with important events in history. For many years people believed that Halley’s comet caused catastrophes (大灾难), from sickness to war.‎ Now, scientists know that comets do not cause bad events, and they have learned more about comets. All comets are made of a head and a tail. Some comets have longer tails. The head is made mostly of ice, plus some dust and pieces of rock. U.S. astronomer Fred Whipple used the phrase “dirty snowballs” to describe comets. Comets move through the sky very quickly. However, their speed depends on how close they are to the Sun. When Halley’s comet is farthest from the Sun, it moves about 2,040 miles per hour. When it is closest to the Sun, it moves at an amazing 122,000 miles per hour!‎ People today remain attracted by this comet. The most recent visit from Halley’s comet was in 1985-1986. This time, two spacecraft, Vega 1 and Vega 2, got a close look at the comet as it raced around the Sun. Halley’s comet should next return in 2061. Who knows what high-tech equipment will be around to study it then?‎ ‎8. From the first paragraph, we can learn that _____.‎ A. Halley saw the same comet twice in his life B. Halley had known a lot about comets before 1682‎ - 11 -‎ C. Halley named the comet he found “Halley’s comet”‎ D. Halley’s guess about the comet’s return proved correct ‎9. In ancient times, people often considered Halley’s comet_____.‎ A. a star bringing bad luck B. a star worth seeing C. a star with a high temperature D. a star visiting the Earth once in a lifetime ‎10. The third paragraph mainly tells us _____.‎ A. what comets are like B. where comets can be seen C. why comets fly at high speeds D. how long it takes comets to circle around the Sun ‎11. The question in the last paragraph mainly shows _____.‎ A. high-tech equipment is needed to study Halley’s comet B. research on Halley’s comet will never be over C. people expect to see the return of Halley’s comet more often D. people are ready for the return of Halley’s comet in 2061‎ ‎ D ‎ My husband and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store where we often get petrol. I don't think people appreciate what a difficult job these people have sometimes. They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.‎ ‎ One of the clerks, Charlie，was missing her glasses one day, and she said they'd been broken and that she couldn't afford a new pair. It was obvious that she was having a difficult time.‎ ‎ We wondered how we could help, so turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan. We had his secretary contact her, asking her to come in for an eye exam free of charge. We told the doctor to let her order whatever glasses she wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told her that someone had anonymously(用匿名的方式) paid the money for her new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by ‎ - 11 -‎ our idea that he waived the exam fee(费用) and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!‎ ‎ It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and she enjoyed telling all the customers how it took place. I'm sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have appeared in the minds of many. She will never know who the gift was from but I think the thing was planted for her. ‎ ‎12．Why didn't the clerk “Charlie” wear glasses one day?‎ A. A pair of glasses was too expensive for him. ‎ B. Her old glasses were broken. ‎ C. Her glasses were missing. ‎ D. She forgot to wear glasses.‎ ‎13．From the passage, we can infer that________.‎ A．Charlie was a young man ‎ B．Charlie knew who paid money for the new glasses C．The Charlie's income was very little ‎ D．Charlie must have known who offered the help ‎14．The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by________.‎ A. gave up B. took up C. turned up D. put off ‎ ‎15．The best title of the passage should be________.‎ A. The Hard Times B. Customer's Gift to an Employee C. A Friendly Clerk—Charlie D. A kind Doctor ‎ 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。‎ ‎ Habits Of Highly Successful Students ‎ Never Over-Study ‎ When you spend too much time studying you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become ‘junk time’. You think you're studying but you're just sitting there re-reading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anywhere. Instead, take regular breaks. 16 Besides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing.‎ - 11 -‎ ‎ 17 ‎ ‎ Top students don't just sit down and complete work.

Set a plan and, set a goal and stick to it, which will be the first step towards developing a habit. 18 ‎ ‎ Begin With The Hardest Work First ‎ Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence.

So develop the habit of giving your energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy stuff last.‎ ‎ 20 ‎ ‎ Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour, we promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don't text your friends, don't chat while doing memory activities, don't make phone calls, just focus on what you're doing.
