[2023·太原市高三期末]I was invited t give a speech at a cnference n educatin. I happened t sit next t Clay Parker, the CEO f a technlgy cmpany that makes micr electrnics devices.
Fr the last few years, I'd been reading abut the rapidly changing wrld f wrk and was increasingly cncerned that students are nt prepared fr tday's wrkplace. Buried in bk knwledge, university students talk like a bk and always pass exams with flying clurs. Hwever, when facing HR staff instead f their teachers, what they have learned seems useless. S I asked Parker what qualities he mst wanted in a ptential new emplyee. I expected a list f technical skills—especially since Parker is an engineer himself—but I was way ff__the__mark.
“First, I lk fr smene wh asks gd questins，”Parker respnded. “Our business is changing, and s are the skills f ur engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But fr emplyees willing t slve prblems r t learn new things, they have t knw what questins t ask. And we can't teach them hw t ask gd questins—hw t think. The ability t ask the right questins reflects gd thinking ability, the mst imprtant quality.”
Indeed, the ability t ask gd questins has been a repeated theme in almst all f my cnversatins abut cre cmpetences and skills fr success in tday's wrkplace. It turns ut that asking gd questins ges hand in hand with the prblem slving ability in the minds f mst emplyers.
The students have always been brught up t live up t a certain standard and s much emphasis has been put n fixed rules and giving the expected answer f their teachers instead f raising a questin. We teachers are always blaming the students fr giving wrng answers. Perhaps we shuld ask urselves whether we are always asking the right questins.
1．Why did the authr ask Parker the questin?
A.T bring the CEO's attentin t educatin.
B.T cllect infrmatin abut his cmpany.

D.T knw his requirements fr new emplyees.
2．What des the underlined wrds “ff the mark” in Paragraph 2 mean?

C.Cnfused. D．Nt prfessinal.
3．What des Parker value his emplyees fr?
A．Teamwrk.
B.Thinking ability.
C．Technical skills.
D.Prfessinal knwledge.
4．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A.Hw t Hunt fr a Jb
B.Asking Questins Matters
C.An Encunter with a CEO
D.Prblemslving Makes a Difference

[2023·广州市普通高中综合测试]What makes peple s special? Tl use, selfcnsciusness, language, and culture are high n the list, but in fact all f these characteristics can be fund elsewhere in the animal kingdm. Humans and apes are clse relatives, s it is perhaps nt surprising that chimpanzees use tls r that grillas (大猩猩) have a sense f fair play, even rejecting carrts (which they nrmally accept) when they see their neighbrs getting grapes. But the qualities that we ften think f as the human's exist nt just n land, but in the cean as well.
Amng the invertebrates, ctpuses (章鱼) are knwn fr their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence f playfulness, tl use, and persnality. But these skilled predatrs live alne and cnsequently lack culture. Dlphins, n the ther hand, are largebrained, lngliving, scialgrupbased predatrs, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity t humanlike culture and awareness.
Culture depends n the ability f animals t pass n things they have learned t thers. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dlphins apart is what they pass n. Sme bttlense dlphins hld spnges in their muths that they use as tls t sweep fish hiding n the cean flr. This ability is handed dwn thrugh generatins (especially in females), with sme families—grandmther, mther, and daughter—all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Anther characteristic that dlphins share with humans is their ability t recgnize themselves in a mirrr. When facing a mirrr, mst animals behave as thugh they are interacting with anther individual. Even in humans, the ability t recgnize that the image in a mirrr is neself des nt ccur befre the age f 18 mnths. Dlphins nt nly recgnize themselves, but if a black mark is put n the bdy f a dlphin, it will spend extra time at the mirrr t lk at the mark.
5．The example f grillas rejecting carrts shws they ________．
A.are nt easy t fl
B.prefer fruit t vegetables
C.have a special taste fr fd
D.have an awareness f equality
6．What d ctpuses lack cmpared with dlphins?
A.Scial interactin.
B.Intelligence.
C.Tlusing ability.
D.Funlving spirits.
7．What makes dlphin culture special?
A.They tend t hunt in grups.
B.Their hunting skills are passed dwn.
C.Their learning envirnment is favurable.
D.Their families are typically femalecntrlled.
8．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.Dlphins enjy lking at their wn reflectin in the mirrr.
B．Dlphins are as intelligent as a typical 18mnthld human baby.
C．Dlphins are as generally regarded as the mst advanced nnhuman species.
D．Dlphins' ability t recgnize their wn reflectin is a higherrder mental skill.
