He is bringing the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian children.Gutierrez started saving books from the trash 27 years ago. He was driving a garbage truck at night through the country's richer neighborhoods. The books that were thrown away slowly piled up. Now the ground floor of his small house is a community library. lt is stacked（堆放） from floor to ceiling. They range from chemistry textbooks to children's classics.Books are luxuries for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods. New reading material at bookstores is too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, a city of 8.5 million people. But the libraries tend to be located far away from poorer areas. "They should be in all neighborhoods and on each comer of every neighborhood," the 60-year-old says. "Books can save us. That is what Colombia needs."Gutierrez has a love of reading, which comes from his mother. She always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. Gutierrez is a keen reader of works by authors such as Leo Tolstoy and Victor Hugo. His favorite books include One Hundred Years of Solitude and The General in His Labyrinth by Colombia's Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The first book Gutierrez found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina. The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie's World. The Iliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books.Now, Gutierrez still looks through the rubbish for additions to his library, named "The Strength of Words." His fame as Colombia's "Lord of the Books" has helped a lot. It has brought him thou-sands of donated books. He has sent many toother libraries around the country. Moreover, Gutierrez has traveled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to share his experience of starting a library with the books that are thrown away.Gutierrez says he doesn't reject technology that allows books to be read digital. But he prefers to read the printed words on paper. "There is nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car."24. How old was Gutierrez when he started saving books from the trash?A. In his twenties.B. In his thirties.C. ln his forties. D. In his fifties.25. What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Luxury books. B. Garbage trucks. C. Public libraries. D. Poor areas.26. What did the book Anna Karenina mean to Gutierrez?A. The beginning of his charity project.B. A window to the world.C. One of his greatest achievements in life. D. Some comfort in difficult times.27. Which of the following sayings does Gutierrez's story lead us to believe?A. Actions speak louder than words.B. A good book can shine a light upon the soul.C. One man's trash is another man's treasure. D. The palest ink is better than the best memory.CJobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones, according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies, a job market analytic company in Boston.lt studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data gathering and analytic, or design using digital technology.Burning Glass came up with the term "hybrid jobs" to describe these kinds of positions, which require skills not normally found together. For example, these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales. "The jobs of the future don't involve just one skill," says Matt Sigelman, chief manager of Burning Glass.The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and2028, but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What's more, hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example, a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one, with an average yearly salary of $100,000. Moreover, an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer fora software company can more than double her pay from$180,000 to $400,000.While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date, with only 12% possibility of being re-placed by machine, compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles, so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and, most importantly, more training after leaving college. That means workers, bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.28. Why did the company research into job advertisements?A. To understand the growth of best paid workers.B. To compare workers' experience with new abilities.C. To find out companies' requirements about skills.D. To tell the possible changes in future job market.29. Which of the following jobs can be hybrid?A. Data engineer.B. Machine operator.C. Marketing manager.D. Medical consultant.30. How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year?A. $180,000.B. $71,000.C. $41,000.D. $10,000.31. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Future Jobs Requiring "Hybrid" skills.B. How to Get Trained for Jobs.C. Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs.D. The Jobs with Highest Pay.DArt and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.Marial Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example，students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.The team randomly assigned（随机分配）each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it," Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.'32. Why did Marial Hardiman do the study?A. To prove the importance of art at school.B. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.C. To find a way to help her students learn better.D. To see if art might improve science learning. 33. What were the students required to do in the experiment?A. Learn three units in total.B. Choose what they'd like to learnC. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Take two types of classes. 34. What does the underlined word "retain" in the last paragraph mean?A. Remember.B. Express.C. Improve.  D. Finish. 35. What is the text mainly about?A. Art helps students develop creativity.B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.C. Art can make science easier to remember.D. Art has something in common with science.第二节（共5小题:每小题2.5分。满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Perhaps, you are a smart person with good knowledge and creative ideas, but when you move to a new environment or have to work with some new people, it is not always easy for them to recognize you or respect you immediately. 36______ How can you get other people to pay attention to you and respect you?Be curious and be willing to learn new things.Moving to a new working environment, you may need to deal with new things or skills. 37______ ln such a case, people who are more willing to learn new things can become more flexible and be able to meet new requirements in their job.38______Learning or working in a new environment, you need to have a good sense of judgement when joining a discussion or making a decision.
