Or you may be looking for something different to do. You wont believe what some of these people do for a living. Check out these strangest jobs and tell us if you could handle doing any of them.Watching Paint DryThis may be one of the most boring jobs in the world. The paint company hires people to watch paint dry. They need to take note of the changing colors and have to examine the changes under a microscope(显微镜) as well as on the walls.Iceberg(冰山) MoverThis job appeared after the Titanic tragedy(悲剧) in 1912. Iceberg movers remove icebergs and prevent any further accidents. Using satellites and airplanes, the movers search the seas for icebergs. And if any are found, they pull the iceberg to an area where it wont be in the way. Pulling an iceberg can take up to 72 hours. This is because the boat needs ten hours to reach a speed of just one mile per hour.Luggage OrganizerThere are many camp activities for children in New York. Mothers are now inviting luggage organizers to pack their kids bags. To hire an organizer costs around US $250 an hour. It can take up to four hours to be fully packed and ready. US $1,000 to pay somebody to pack your kids bags, is it worth it?1. What is the aim of the job of an iceberg mover?A. To be in memory of the movie Titanic.B. To test the speed of boats pulling icebergs.C. To do a search for life in the sea.D. To prevent any more accidents on the sea.2. What kind of job is the job of watching paint dry?A. It is very boring and needs patience.B. Its salary is higher than other jobs.C. The employees only need to watch the colors.D. Many creatures are examined under a microscope.3.

D 2. A 3. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上三种最奇怪的工作。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据Iceberg Mover中Iceberg movers remove icebergs and prevent any further accidents.可知冰山搬运工移走冰山，防止任何进一步的事故。所以，冰山搬运工的工作目的是为了防止更多的海上事故，故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Watching Paint Dry中This may be one of the most boring jobs in the world.可知这个工作很无聊（boring），再根据本段中的They need to take note of the changing colors and have to examine the changes under a microscope(显微镜) as well as on the walls. 他们需要注意颜色的改变，需要在显微镜下以及在墙上检查这种变化，所以这个工作需要耐心（patience），故选A。【3题详解】推理判断题。选项A It is suitable for children to do（这个工作适合学生做），文章没有提，故排除A；由It can take up to four hours to be fully packed and ready.可知包装和准备好行李可能需要四个小时，这个工作并不是一个简单的工作，选项B的说法错误，排除B；根据To hire an organizer costs around US $250 an hour可知这个工作是按小时付工资，并不是全职工作，选项C说法错误，排除C；根据US $1,000 to pay somebody to pack your kids bags可知请人给孩子打包行李需要花1000美元，是很昂贵的，选项D表述正确，故选D。BOn a day in Arkansas, some fishermen saw a bear cub（幼兽）in a tree. As hours went by, its mother didnt return. So they called wildlife biologist（生物学家） Eastridge.The bear cub was sick and hungry, weighing only 5 pounds and with his eyes not completely open. Eastridge called Lisa Stewart, who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee. Stewart always makes room for a new cub.She named the bear Miracle because she thought it was a miracle that he had survived! As soon as she could, she stopped having contact with the cub so he would not become too used to humans. When the cub arrived, Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house alone. Since Miracle was already 5 months old. Stewart gave him bowls of food and another bowl of a special formula(配方奶粉)， similar to a bear mothers milk. Sometimes, Miracle would reach his head out of his house and take some formula or food. But he wasnt eating too much.Miracle was too weak to be with other bears. So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy. He took it into his house and covered it with straw(稻草). He fed Buddy, too. Stewart often found the toy covered in formula and berries and its ears full of apple chunks. Now that Miracle had Buddy, he came out of his house more often and wanted to eat.After two months, Stewart introduced Miracle to other bears so they could learn from one another. She avoided any direct contact with Miracle and the other bears. Stewart wanted to make sure they stayed afraid of humans so they could go back into the wild again. She always hid behind a fence(栅栏) and threw food over the top secretly. The bears hunted for this food as they would soon do in the wild.Five months later, Rick Eastridge returned to pick up a healthy 90-pound Miracle and another bear from Arkansas named Rocky. Eastridge loaded the bears into boxes on his truck and transported them back to the wild. As soon as the bear boxes were opened, the two cubs ran for the woodswhere they belonged.4. What did Stewart do shortly after the cub arrived?A. She helped him eat food. B. She contacted with him.C. She settled him down. D. She named him Miracle.5. A toy bear was given to Miracle in order to .A. remind him not to waste his food B. kill his lonely time in his house.C. develop his skills of making friends D. rid Miracle of its fear of humans6. Why did Stewart always give food to Miracle in secret?A. Because he could learn how to find food in the wild.B. Because he was too weak to be frightened by humans.C. Because a good relationship could be developed.D. Because she didnt want to disturb his peaceful life.7. What is the best title for this passage?A. An Unusual Bear B. The Growth of MiracleC. Rescuing Miracle D. Contacting Miracle【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只被母亲遗弃的小熊，身体很虚弱，在Stewart的照顾下，小熊被拯救了过来，并且重新回到大自然。【4题详解】细节理解题。由第三段When the cub arrived, Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house alone.可知Stewart给幼熊清理眼睛，腾出居住的地方，使这只幼熊安顿了下来，故选C。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段Miracle was too weak to be with other bears. So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy.可知Miracle太弱了，不能和其他熊在一起。于是Stewart给了他一只名叫Buddy的玩具熊来消磨寂寞的时光，故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。由She always hid behind a fence(栅栏) and threw food over the top secretly. The bears hunted for this food as they would soon do in the wild.可知Stewart总是躲在栅栏后面扔食物，小熊们像在野外一样捕食食物。所以Stewart这样做的目的是为了锻炼小熊使它能在野外找到食物，故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了一只被母亲遗弃的小熊，身体很虚弱，在Stewart的照顾下，小熊被拯救了过来，并且重新回到大自然。整篇文章是围绕着营救小熊Miracle展开的，所以文章最好的题目是选项C。CThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step:Remove the 300 types of bacteria( 细 菌 ) in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated(电动的) toothbrush.

And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day half of the number which doctors advise.Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day often inviting germs(细菌) to enter our mouth, nose and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germ？Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?

Most of them have good habits.C. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.9.

We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.11. The text probably comes from _.A. a book review B. a popular magazineC. a guide book D. an official document(文件)【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文是一项关于健康习惯的调查，从一天刷几次牙，洗手沐浴几次，以及如何和细菌战斗等方面描述了这项调查的发现并给出了专家建议。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一项调查的Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.可知大约三分之一的美国老年人一天只刷一次牙，故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二项调查的Finding：And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day half of the number which doctors advise.可知一天洗4次手是专家建议的一半，可知专家建议每天洗8次手，故答案选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三项调查的Step：Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else？可知厨房里的海绵比任何其他东西（包括厕所）携带的细菌都多，所以选项A表述正确，故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。A项“书评”，B项“受欢迎的杂志”，C项“旅游指南”，D项“官方文件”。由文章内容可知，这是一份调查报告，是针对美国老年人的健康习惯所做的调查，这样的文章理应不会出现在“旅游指南”，“书评”，“官方文件”里，故排除A、C、D，在流行杂志做这样的调查报告很常见，故答案选B。DWhenever Ms. Zhang receives a series of voice messages on the WeChat messaging app from her mother, the 32-year-old woman looks at them and sighs(叹息). She doesnt want to listen to them one by one, which can always be over a dozen in all. And she hates having to listen again if she misses something. “I really dont want to open them,” she says. ”But what can I do? Shes my mom.”Her mother, however, thinks that texting seems cold, and reading text on a phone screen is difficult for people at her age. So she also uses voice messages when communicating with her old schoolmates.Now, sending voice messages is seen as a feature for seniors, plus a few groups such as salespeople and drivers. About nine out of 10 Chinese internet users are on WeChat and half of them spend over 90 minutes a day on the app chatting, reading, working and shopping. There is no doubt that WeChat is where Chinas national conversation takes place.WeChats 2017 user report shows that while people over 55 made up only 1% of the platforms(平台) user base, one out of five messages they sent were voice, compared with one in 10 for users under 21.”While users take nine seconds on average to read 100 characters, they need 22 seconds to listen to the same 100 characters,” says Liu Xingliang, head of research at the company Data Center about the China Internet.”Only when you listen to WeChat voice messages will you find out how long a minute is,” he says.12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Ms. Zhangs mother hardly sends voice messages to her daughter.B. Ms. Zhang is happy when she receives her mothers voice message.C. Ms. Zhangs mother uses voice messages to communicate with her friends.D. Ms. Zhang doesnt listen to her mothers voice messages.13. Why does Ms. Zhangs mother choose to send voice message?A. Because reading text is difficult for her.B. Because she thinks speaking is colder than texting.C. Because its too hard for her to learn to text.D. Because her daughter has asked her to do so.14. According to the text, who might use text messages most?A. A driver who needs to work at night.B. A salesman who is busy selling his products.C. A teacher who retired five years ago.D. A college student who will graduate next year.15. What can we learn about voice messages from the text?A. Most Chinese people like receiving voice messages.B. Voice messages take the receivers a lot of time to listen.C. Sending voice messages is a big burden(负担) for the sender.D. Only 1% of people over 55 send voice messages.【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B【解析】本文是一篇社会生活类的文章。文章主要讲述了聊天软件微信的语音信息，使用语音信息的主要是老年人、销售以及司机等人，听语音信息比读文字信息更加浪费时间。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段So she also uses voice messages when communicating with her old schoolmates.可知张女士的母亲与同学、朋友聊天的时候使用语音信息，选项C表述正确，故选C。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Her mother, however, thinks that texting seems cold, and reading text on a phone screen is difficult for people at her age.可知张女士的母亲选择语音信息是因为在手机屏幕上读文字对她来说是困难的，故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段Now, sending voice messages is seen as a feature for seniors, plus a few groups such as salespeople and drivers.和最后一段compared with one in 10 for users under 21.可知现在，发送语音信息被视为老年人使用微信的一个特征，此外使用微信语音功能的还有销售人员和司机等少数群体。21岁以下的用户只有十分之一使用语音功能，十分之九使用文字信息。所以选项中a college student（大学生）使用文字信息的可能性最大，故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段While users take nine seconds on average to read 100 characters, they need 22 seconds to listen to the same 100 characters可知读一百个字符需要9秒，然而听相同的一百个字符却需要22秒。所以听语音信息花的时间更长，故选B。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。选项中两项为多余选项。Could you imagine what it would be like if there were no other ways to get around except by using your feet? Not only would you wear out（磨破）a lot of shoes but it would take you a long time to get anywhere._16_ But thats just the wheel(轮子); did you know that the earliest boats were dugout canoes(独 木舟)？People lit a fire on a big log(圆木) and then put the fire out and dug out the burned wood!Then there were the Egyptians, who invented the sailing boat, but this could only be used in one direction. _17_ Later the clever Romans came along and built their famous network of roads across the Roman Empire_18_Some of the roads did not last very long and they soon became dirt tracks(路). People travelled on roads by wagon(马车), but most things would be taken by sea in the 16th century. In the 19th century, some of the forms of transport that you know today were inventedthe bike and the car. _19_ The first underground railway in the world was built in London.As it got easier to travel, people wanted to get to places faster. _20_ It was first used in war, but now it has become an indispensable(不可或缺的) way of transport.A.

E. In addition, travel was made much easier by railways.F. You really need to thank a few people for saving your poor shoes, like the person who invented the wheel!G. So the Roman army could march(行军) from one part of the empire to another quickly!【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通工具从无到有的的发展过程。【16题详解】上一句Not only would you wear out a lot of shoes but it would take you a long time to get anywhere. 如果没有其它工具只用脚去各个地方的话，你不仅会穿坏很多鞋子，而且会花很长时间才能到达目的地。选项F You really need to thank a few people for saving your poor shoes, like the person who invented the wheel!（你真的需要感谢一些人拯救了你可怜的鞋子，比如发明轮子的人。）承接上一句，而且与下一句But thats just the wheel相对应，所以选项F起承上启下的作用，符合题意，故选F。【17题详解】上一句Then there were the Egyptians, who invented the sailing boat, but this could only be used in one direct
