When Jen Harris was laid off from her job at MPC Computers in Idaho last October, she tweeted the message “just been laid off from MPC”, “By the time I left the parking lot, I had a job offer from a friend that had a Web development company in town, “ she told CNNMoney.
It’s difficult to know how many people are actually finding work this way. But it’s obvious from interviews with job-seekers, employers, coaches and managers that the Twitter phenomenon is fundamentally changing the way people search for jobs.
“A lot of companies aren’t advertising jobs in traditional ways,” says Jason Rivera, a graphic artist who teamed up with other San Francisco Twiners “to lead the pink-slip party (失业聚会) movement” for the networking messes. Rivera says Twitter allows companies to easily “follow” potential candidates online, while giving job hunters a backdoor peek at companies where they may be interested in applying for a job.
“It’s a great way to get up-to-the-minute information about a company and its latest products,” Rivera says, “as well as give you a shot at actually talking to a hiring manager on Twitter，as opposed to having your e-mailed resume end up as the 500th in his in-box. At the same time, Twitter gives managers faster, more efficient ways to get through the mess, and that save them money.”
Paul Mabray knows that firsthand. As a chief strategy officer for Napabased VinTank, a wine industry think tank （智囊团），he used Twitter to spot and then practically “follow’’ the 23-year-old job candidate and gifted Twitter, Ashley Bellview. “We got to learn about her personality, her work ethic and her thought process by the information she’d linked to in her tweets and by how she communicated with other people on Twitter,” Mabray says.
24.Jen Harris is mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.
A.Twitter is becoming an important tool for job seekers
B.more people lose their jobs recently
C.it’s easier for IT workers to find jobs
D.there are less jobs than we have expected
25.Twitter can give job hunters a chance to ________.
A.visit the companies
B.learn more about the companies
C.receive training about the computer operation
D.have a face-to-face talk with the managers
26.We can know from the last paragraph that Ashley Bellview ________.
A.has a large circle of online friends
B.proves to be a gifted actress
C.is not experienced in wine making
D.is considered a gifted candidate
27.What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Popularity of Twitter
B.Twitter Helps Find Jobs
C.The Ways People Search for Jobs Are Changing
D.How to Get Jobs on Twitter

If you’re looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beauty and fantastic food.
Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.
Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.
However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.
Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.
But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.
Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?
28.The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.
A.languages and food B.architecture and food
C.festivals and architecture D.costumes and festivals
29.Why are Sarah Schmalbruch’s words quoted?
A.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.
B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.
C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.
D.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.
30.What can you find in Switzerland?
A.The safest skiing location. B.The most pictured mountain.
C.The largest art gallery. D.The oldest teddy bear museum.
31.Where can we most probably read this text?
A.In a geography textbook. B.In a science report.
C.In a travel magazine. D.In a personal diary.
D
One of the biggest ideas in computer technology is cloud computing. The system is changing the way information is kept. It uses a group of computers or servers to store information instead of one. The data floats around like clouds instead of being saved on any computer. It means computers can be smaller than ever and store practically unlimited amounts of information. No longer are bulky computers needed because all the information is in the clouds.
So when will cloud computing start affecting the way you use computers? You may not have noticed, but it already has. Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and many other sites all run on cloud computing. Cloud computing is really useful. You can use it to access the same file at work at home or in other countries on different computers. There may even be environmental benefits, too. Gmail, which uses cloud computing, says that the system saves a lot of energy.
However, potential problems do exist such as losing information and not being able to access certain files when the internet is down. Also, some companies charge fees for their cloud computing services. Another major problem is security. If all your Information is out there in the cloud and not safely stored on your own computer or laptop, it may be possible for other people to access it. More and more of our personal information is in danger of being stolen. Therefore, it is important to be careful and to find ways of making the information secure.
More and more companies are starting up and offering cloud computing. Will the company be reliable? What will happen to your data if the company goes out of business? There are real worries. Even so, for those interested in computing technology, one thing is for certain ---the future in the clouds is going to be very exciting.
32.How does the author describe the data?
A.It needs only a single server.
B.It is a cloud floating around computers.
C.It makes computers become smaller.
D.It improves the computer’s function.
33.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Cloud computing will come into use soon.
B.Files will be entered when the Internet is down.
C.Personal information may be lost if not kept properly.
D.Companies will enjoy free cloud computing services.
34.What’s the author’s attitude towards cloud computing?
A.Worried. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Cautious.
35.The purpose of the passage is .
A.to introduce cloud computing to us
B.to talk about the way computers change
C.to warn us to be careful to use computers
D.to tell us how to access information on other computers
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。
When we are born,we are given names that stay with us for our whole lives. Some names include good wishes and hopes from parents, while others may be unique and easy to remember.
36.
According to International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, an organization responsible for naming new viruses,the task of naming a virus is no less important than naming a person.
When a disease breaks out, people focus on the public health response 37. But that may lead to many problems. The most obvious one is that different media organizations may use different names for the same virus in their reports. We are now in the internet era. 38. This means different names can take hold quickly and be hard to take back, which may confuse those who know little about the virus.
39. Over the past decade, some improper names have caused problems. In 2009, the “swine flu” was widely used before the official name, HINI virus, was announced. This led Egypt to kill all of its pigs. In 2015, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome)caused a backlash (强烈抵制)against the nations and people of this region. So in 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the names of viruses should avoid being named after geographic locations, people, species or classes of animals and foods.
40. The new coronavirus we are suffering from was named “COV-ID-19” on Feb 11. In this name, “CO” means “corona”, “VI” stands for “virus” and “D” means “disease”. Next time you read about a virus you don't know, you may get some clues about it from its name.
A.But naming a virus is never easy.
B.The WHO followed these principles this time .
C.News can spread to every household in seconds.
D.They often don’t know how to protect themselves.
E.The official naming of a new virus is often delayed.
F.Do you have a name which is easy to remember?
G.But do you know how the new coronavirus got its name?

Many of us were raised with the saying "Waste not, want not". None of us, therefore, can completely avoid waste in our lives.
Any kind of waste was thoughtless, whether we waste our potential talents, our own time, our limited natural resource, our money, or other people's time. Each of us can become more aware of and careful. The smallest good habits can make the big difference. It's a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our best in a world what is in serious trouble. By focusing on oil, water, paper, food or clothing, we are playing a part in cutting down on waste.
We must keep reminding us that it is easier to get into something than it is to get out of it. Actually, severe damage done to our land is fair recent in the history of our evolution. It's time for us to say no to waste so that our grandchildren's children will able to develop well.

The College Entrance Examination has been decided to be delayed to July 7-9. Therefore, I’ll be preparing for it in June. I wonder if it is convenient for you between July 18 and August 20.

Best wishes!
