For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field, but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.
1. In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced?
A. Data Analysts. B. Registered Nurses.
C. Cybersecurity Experts. D. Plumbers and Electricians.
2. To be a cybersecurity expert, which is the basic requirement?
A. A master’s degree in computer science.
B. A certificate of high school graduation.
C. A bachelor’s degree in information technology.
D. A diploma officially approved from a medical program.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?

Look people in the eye. Smile. Shake hands. Sit up tall. Speak clearly and confidently. That’s the last- minute advice professor Paul Calhoun gives a handful of college students before they head off for a series of job interviews. The Skidmore College seniors he’s talking to are dressed in suits and shirts , or dresses and heels.
There isn’t an actual job on the other end of these interviews, just a satisfactory / unsatisfactory grade from a class called Presenting the Brand Called Me at this college in New York. Calhoun created the popular course 10 years ago. He’d spent more than three decades working in the banking industry, where he saw the importance of presentation skills :“A lot of it is acting .”
When he came to Skidmore as a business professor, he noticed a lot of students struggling with public speaking. He got theater professors to help him shape what eventually became this class , in order to give business majors the training analogous to what the theater department gives to actors .
Over the 13 weeks, there’s some role - playing with improv (即兴创作)--- “Talk for a minute about anything ----go !“ There are dance classes , and many guest speakers who talk about cover letters , resumes (简历) and personal branding . By the end of the course , students leave with a polished “ STAR ” story --- the short story about themselves and their abilities that’s designed to help land them a job . “ People don’t remember when you tell them you’re good at something,”Calhoun explains .“They remember when you tell them a story that proves you ‘ re good at something.” Dante Delemos is a junior business major. In his interviews , he tells a story about winning the election for class president . And it works . Delemos is spending the summer working part- time in finance .
In addition the class also created professional-sounding email addresses for students. Say goodbye to “Bubblegum123.”“ You can’t email your future boss with some really odd email name,”explains Tytianna McClenningham , a recent graduate. And they’re email manners , too .I didn’t even think it was important to use a subject in an email ,” McClenningham says .“But now I know .”
4. What is described in the first paragraph ?
A. An activity at a job fair .
B. A college entrance interview .
C. A scene in a college class .
D. A college graduation ceremony .
5. What does the underlined word ” analogous “ in paragraph 3 mean ?
A. Similar . B. Superior . C. Available . D. Important .
6. What does Calhoun say about telling stories in interviews ?
A. It can help interviewees relax .
B. It will impress interviewers .
C. It can meet the requirements of interviewers .
D. It will show interviewees’ communication skills .
7. How does McClenningham feel about the class ?

C
Over the course of 16 months, the family of 16 Asian elephants crop-destroyed, mud-bathed, and road-tripped 300 miles north to the provincial capital of Kunming. Along the way they became global celebrities --- and presented a conundrum for government officials. The elephants caused about a half million dollars worth of damage.
The simple answer would be to tranquilize (使镇定)the elephants and transport them back to the reserve.
But that would be risky for this group, especially the three little ones. Instead, officials took measures --- providing tons of corn and bananas, setting up road barriers, and making new pathways --- which ultimately involved tens of thousands of people at a cost equal to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In a year torn by climate change, conflict, and COVID -19, some might argue that going to extremes to keep a family of elephants safe was wasteful. They might say the same about searching for an undiscovered species of frog or building new museums.
But conserving our natural and human heritage --- like efforts to cure disease and stop war --- is about doing good in the world. We need wildlife and ancient objects, just as we need health and peace. They’re our past, present, and future.
Conservation efforts have been bright spots in an otherwise dark year. That’s not to say the biodiversity crisis has passed. Plant and animal species are still disappearing at an alarming rate.
“I am scared about the state of nature because the threats are increasing ,” says Gladys Kalema -Zikusoka, founder of Conservation Through Public Health , but “I am hopeful because the extreme weather patterns we are experiencing and the shock of COVID -19 are leading to a heightened awareness about these risks and the need to do something about them .”
It’s still not clear why the elephants left their home, but one theory is that as elephant numbers in Yunnan Province have increased, the animals have needed to expand their territory.
That could be considered good news for this endangered species. But the story of the elephants demonstrates something else too: that the world we created and the world nature created are closely bound, for better or for worse.
8. What does the underlined part “a conundrum ” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. A tough problem. B. A terrible accident.
C. A difficult decision. D. A serious mistake.
9. What does the author say about keeping the elephants safe?
A. It’s a waste of time and money.
B. It’s significant for humankind.
C. It obviously goes to extremes.
D. It sets an example for the world.
10. Why does Gladys Kalema - Zikusoka voice hope?
A. Plant and animal species are growing.
B. Public awareness of key issues has increased.
C. Endangered animals face declining threats.
D. People are more experienced in handling risks.
11. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A. Mankind and nature face a shared future.
B. We should remember our past, present, and future.
C. Nature reflects who we are.
D. Mankind should give way to nature.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在过去的16个月的时间里,由16头亚洲象组成的大家庭从北部300英里的省会昆明出发,经历了庄稼被毁、泥浆浸泡和公路跋涉。一路走来,成为了全球名人。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Over the course of 16 months, the family of 16 Asian elephants crop-destroyed, mud-bathed, and road-tripped 300 miles north to the provincial capital of Kunming . Along the way they became global celebrities ”(在16个月的时间里,这个由16头亚洲象组成的大家庭从北部300英里的省会昆明出发,经历了庄稼被毁、泥浆浸泡和公路跋涉。一路走来,他们成为了全球名人)及“The elephants caused about a half million dollars worth of damage”(大象造成了大约50万美元的损失)可知,这群大象的北迁造成了大量的经济损失,可推断,划线词此处指这个情况对政府来说成为了很棘手的问题,需要尽快解决。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The simple answer would be to tranquilize (使镇定)the elephants and transport them back to the reserve .”(简单的解决办法就是给大象注射镇静剂然后把它们运回保护区。)第五段“conserving our natural and human heritage --- like efforts to cure disease and stop war --- is about doing good in the world . We need wildlife and ancient objects , just as we need health and peace . ”(保护我们的自然和人类遗产——就像努力治愈疾病和停止战争一样——是为了在世界上做好事。我们需要野生动物和古物,就像我们需要健康与和平。)可看出,保护大象的安全对人类而言是重要的,就像我们需要健康与和平。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“I am hopeful because the extreme weather patterns we are experiencing and the shock of COVID -19 are leading to a heightened awareness about these risks and the need to do something about them .”(我对此充满希望,因为我们正在经历的极端天气模式和新冠带来的冲击,正在提高人们对这些风险的认识,以及采取措施应对这些风险的必要性。)可知,在Gladys Kalema - Zikusoka看来,正是由于我们正在经历的极端天气模式和新冠带来的冲击,提高了人们对这些风险的认识。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the story of the elephants demonstrates something else too: that the world we created and the world nature created are closely bound, for better or for worse .”(但是大象的故事也证明了一些其他的东西: 我们创造的世界和大自然创造的世界是紧密联系在一起的,无论是好是坏。)可知,这群大象的北迁的故事证明了我们人类世界和大自然创造的世界是紧密联系在一起的,即人类和自然面临着共同的未来。故选A。
D
An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin. Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement, the researchers’ system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics (螺旋图形) in real time on a smartphone, as well as a recording of data, for the wearer to interpret and reflect on.
The prototype (雏形) visualisation system, called ‘Affective Health’, was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones.
A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for. Instead, they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions, how increased sweating increased the conductivity, and how this was represented by different colours. The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology.
The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels. While others, including outstanding athletes, used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes. Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions. But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.
Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.
12. What were the participants unaware of about the prototype?
A. Its function as a measuring tool.
B. Its reactions to physical activity.
C. Its colourful spiral graphics.
D. Its specified uses.
13. What interested the researchers?
A. People used the device quite differently.
B. Few used the device to help better themselves.
C. Many considered the device a single-purpose tool.
D. Many purposely avoided the device’s certain functions.
14. What can be learned about Affective Health?
A. It has a rising market share.
B. It causes trouble for users.
C. It lacks competitiveness.
D. It needs improvement.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Sweat, a Mood Detector?
B. Time to Reflect on Ourselves?
C. Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity
D. Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一个名为“Affective Health原型机”的新发明,可以解读我们皮肤产生的生物信号,可以用来观测我们的情绪变化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly, the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for.”(一个由23人组成的研究小组使用了一个月的Affective Health原型机。重要的是,研究人员故意不告诉参与者这些设备的用途。)可知,研究人员没告诉参与者Affective Health原型机的用途,由此可知,参与者不知道原型机的具体用途。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“But interestingly, few would use the technology for more than one purpose.”(但有趣的是,很少有人会将该技术用于多个目的。)可知,研究人员发现,有趣的是,很少有人会将该技术用于多个目的,由此可知,研究人员感兴趣的是许多人认为该装置是一种单一用途的工具。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for, the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role—such as a sports training system, or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second, more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles.”(尽管开放设计阶段帮助揭示了Affective Health原型机可用于的几种不同实践,但该原型机缺乏某些功能,无法使其成为特定角色的良好工具,如运动训练系统或压力管理工具。研究人员发现,在设计过程中需要第二个更为定制的步骤,以使设备针对于特定角色。)可知,Affective Health原型机缺乏某些功能,无法成为特定角色的良好工具,需要进一步改进,以使设备针对于特定角色,由此可知,Affective Health原型机需要改进。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段关键句“An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin.”(来自瑞典和英国一个国际研究团队开发了一种解释我们皮肤产生的生物信号的创新方法。)可知,本文主要介绍了一个名为“Affective Health原型机”的新发明,可以解读我们皮肤产生的生物信号,可以用来观测我们的情绪变化,“Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin”意为“技术从皮肤解读生物数据”,选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选D项。

Have you ever had a chat with Siri? Do you ask Google to play your favorite song? Have you ever had Alexa order a pizza for dinner? _____16_____
Voice assistants are programs on digital devices that listen and respond to verbal (口头的) commands. Users can say, "What's the weather like?" and the voice assistant will answer with the weather report for that day and location. They could say, "Tell me a story," and the assistant will jump into a tale. But how do voice assistants understand us? A complex system of codes? An actual person listening on the other end? _____17_____
It all starts with a signal word. Have you ever called a friend's name to get their attention? Users say the names of their voice assistants for the same reason. They might say. "Hey Siri!" or simply, "Alexa!" _____18_____ It signals to the voice assistant that it should begin paying attention.
After the voice assistant hears its signal word, it starts recording. The device waits for a pause to know you've finished your request. It then sends your recorded request over the Internet to its database. Once in the database, your request is compared to other requests. _____19_____ The database then sends these commands back to the voice assistant. Once it receives the commands, the voice assistant knows what to do next.
Voice assistants are improving all the time. Have you ever asked a voice assistant for something and received results you didn't expect? _____20_____ That teaches the device that the command it received from its database was wrong. It communicates that with the database and tries to do better next time.
A. The battle for voice assistant market share is fierce.
B. Whatever the signal word is, it wakes up the device.
C. The answer is less complicated than you might think.
D. Voice assistants are inside smart speakers in our homes.
E. Each time this happens, the voice assistant learns from its mistake.
F. Today's voice assistants can help you out with just about anything.
G. It's split into separate commands your voice assistant can understand.

(你跟Siri聊过吗?你让谷歌播放你最喜欢的歌曲吗?你有没有让Alexa点披萨当晚餐?)”可知,语音助理可以帮助做很多事情,正好引出下文的内容。下文说语音助理是如何帮助我们做事情的。所以选择项F“Today's voice assistants can help you out with just about anything.(今天的语音助手几乎可以帮助你解决任何问题。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
17题详解】
根据上文“But how do voice assistants understand us? A complex system of codes? An actual person listening on the other end? (但是语音助手是如何理解我们的呢?一套复杂的密码系统?一个真实的人在电话那头听吗?)”可知,下面是对这一系列问题的回答。所以选择项C“The answer is less complicated than you might think. (答案并没有你想象的那么复杂。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据本段首句“It all starts with a signal word.( 这一切都始于一个信号词。)”和整个段落可知,本段都在说信号。所以选择项B“Whatever the signal word is, it wakes up the device. (不管信号字是什么,它都会唤醒设备。)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“signal word”与首句中的“signal word”相一致。故选B。
【19题详解】
本段主要是描述语音助理是如何处理命令的。根据后句“The database then sends these commands back to the voice assistant.(然后数据库将这些命令发送回语音助手。)”可知,命令被拆分,从而使语音助理能够理解。所以选择项G“It's split into separate commands your voice assistant can understand. (它被分成你的语音助手可以理解的不同命令。)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“commands”与后句中的“commands”相一致。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据后文“That teaches the device that the command it received from its database was wrong. It communicates that with the database and tries to do better next time. (这会告诉设备,它从数据库接收到的命令是错误的。它与数据库进行沟通,并试图在下一次做得更好。)”可知,这里主要讲语音助理是如何改正错误的。所以选择项E“Each time this happens, the voice assistant learns from its mistake. (每次发生这种情况,语音助手都会从错误中吸取教训。)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“its mistake”与后句文的“its database was wrong”相一致。故选E。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:克里斯汀•菲格纳(Christine Figgener)永远无法预料到,一段8分钟视频会改变她的职业生涯。video“视频”为可数名词,这里使用了单数,结合空后eight-minute,其首个因素为元音,所以空处用不定冠词an,故填an。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:但在2015年8月,这位34岁的海洋保护生物学家在哥斯达黎加发现了一只鼻子里插着塑料吸管的海龟。分析句意可知,这里使用了with的复合结构“with+ 宾语+补语”,straw(吸管)与动词stick(插入,刺入)为动宾关系,表示“吸管被刺入海龟的鼻子”,所以空处用过去分词stuck,故填stuck。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:菲格纳对海龟的极度不适感到震惊和愤怒,她拍摄了她的研究小组从海龟的鼻子里取出吸管,血从鼻子里流出来的过程。空前extreme为形容词,所以此处用名词,结合前文“discovered a sea turtle in Costa Rica with a plastic straw(吸管) ________(stick) in its nose”可知,发现了一只鼻子里插着塑料吸管的海龟,这种情景让她感到不适,所以用discomfort,故填discomfort。

【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这段令人心碎的视频在 YouTube 上被观看了超过3200万次。time“次数”为可数名词,结合空前“ more than 32 million”,所以此处用复数。故填times。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:仅美国人一个人每天就使用多达3.9亿根塑料吸管——这只是每年800万公吨最终流入海洋的塑料中的一小部分。分析可知,空处及之后的内容为定语从句,先行词为plastic,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which,故填which。
【62题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:今年7月,该视频被认为帮助鼓励了星巴克(Starbucks)和美国航空(American Airlines)等大公司停止使用塑料吸管。空处在句中为谓语,结合“In July”可知,时态用一般过去时;it为代词,指代前文“Figgener’s video”,与动词credit为动宾关系,故填was credited,故填credited。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语。句意同上。stop doing sth.“停止做某事”,所以空处用动名词using,故填using。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:费格纳还花时间访问学校,教育年轻一代有关海洋的知识,真诚地希望向孩子们表明,不管他们是谁,他们也可以成为一名科学家。分析可知,空处及之后的内容为目的状语,表示菲格纳花时间访问学校的目的,所以用不定式to educate,故填to educate。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。副词修饰动词,空后hope为动词,所以此处用副词sincerely,故填sincerely。

Our school held a show called “Us After Ten Years ”, when the speakers presented their future careers. I chose to be the diplomat (外交官). I’d like to present myself as a true spokes-person, either gentle like Wang Wenbin nor sharp like Zhao Lijian. Waiting my turn, I paced backstage with my heart beating wildly. Then comes my turn. I took a deep breath and walked onto the stage, waved to the audience. The bright lights and screams were surrounded me tightly. Fortunate, everything went smoothly. The heavy burden changed into a sense of pride. I’ m proud of me and Chinese diplomats, who meet challenge every day but manage to keep showing Chinese wisdom.
【答案】1.when→where
2.the→a
3.nor→or
4.Waiting后加for
5.comes→came
6.waved→waving
7.删除were
8.Fortunate→Fortunately
9.me→myself
10.challenge→challenges

【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意:我们学校举办了一个名为“十年后的我们”的节目,演讲者介绍了他们未来的职业。先行词是show,在定语从句中做地点状语,用where引导非限制性定语从句。故when改为where。
2.考查冠词。句意:我选择做外交官。可数名词第一次出现,前面用不定冠词。故the改为a。
3.考查连词。句意:我想做一个真正的代言人,既不像王文斌那样温柔,也不像赵立坚那样尖锐。either...or表示“或者……或者”。故nor改为or。
4.考查介词。句意:等轮到我的时候,我在后台踱来踱去,心怦怦直跳。“等待”是固定短语wait for。故Waiting后加for。
5.考查动词时态。句意:然后轮到我了。 根据took可知,讲述过去的事情用一般过去时。故comes改为came。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:然后轮到我了。我深吸了一口气,走上舞台,向观众挥手致意。挥手是非谓语动词,逻辑主语和wave是主动关系,用现在分词,做状语。故waved改为waving。
7.考查动词时态语态。句意:明亮的灯光和尖叫声紧紧地包围着我。灯光、尖叫声和包围是主动关系,去掉be动词,故删除were。
8.考查副词。句意:幸运的是,一切顺利。副词修饰一句话,作状语。故Fortunate改为Fortunately。
9.考查代词。句意:我为我和中国的外交官们感到骄傲,他们每天都在迎接挑战,但仍然努力展示中国的智慧。前后指代同一人用反身代词。故me改为myself。
10.考查名词。句意:我为我和中国的外交官们感到骄傲,他们每天都在迎接挑战,但仍然努力展示中国的智慧。挑战是可数名词,外交官们每天遇到各种挑战,用名词复数。故challenge改为challenges。

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My Understanding of Failure
This famous quote from J. Burroughs conveys that when faced with failure, we should reflect on ourselves instead of putting the blame on others, which is more important than failure itself.
When entering high school, many classmates found it really difficult to learn maths and did poorly in exams. They blamed it on the teacher rather than themselves, which resulted in even poorer performance. I was no exception. However, when I realized complaining made no sense, I adjusted my learning methods and turned to the teacher whenever I encountered difficult problems. Gradually, I began to make progress, which in turn boosted my confidence in maths.
The lesson I have drawn from this experience is that only by bravely taking full responsibility for failure rather than blaming others can we succeed.
【解析】
