She stayed after school to work on a special project three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh.“Whats going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered.Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what die webpage was about.“Its about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added,“I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图).”“Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you? her dad asked.“I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers dont even print a daily paper，and Internet news is published around the clock.Amandas dad asked, “Which type of news do you like better?”“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens,” she answered.Her dad said, “I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”Amanda dropped into her chair again and said, “You are so old school, Dad.”24.

These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part - time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.28. We can infer from the first paragraph that .A. we should think about how to find our careerB. learning ability at school shows power in your jobC. learning each subject well is an ability in many jobsD. a knowledge of each subject may be of value in your career29. From the passage we learn that if a student school performance is not good, he will .A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work30. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably means“ .”A. be the bestB. be clumsyC. be importantD. be skilled31. The passage mainly discusses .A. the relationship between school performance and careerB.working experience and knowledge at schoolC.how to show strengths in your workD.how to get a jobDWhen animals and plants use color to be noticed, it is called advertising coloration. Advertising coloration can be used to either warn or attract animals.The bright colors of flowers and berries (浆果) are advertising coloration that attracts animals. Flowers need to be pollinated (对授粉) to reproduce. Bees are attracted to bright colors and will pollinate the flowers. Some pollinated plants will produce berries. These berries will turn a bright color when they are ripe. The bright color lets berry - eating birds know the fruit is sweet and safe to eat. After birds eat the berries, the seeds will pass through their digestive system and be left behind. Some of the seeds left behind will grow into new plants!Color is also used to attract mates. Many male birds are brightly colored to attract females. Bright feathers can be a sign of how healthy the bird is! Female birds are naturally attracted to healthier males because their offspring will be healthier. Female birds are often less colorful. This helps hide them when they are building places to live in.Advertising color is also used to warn animals away. The ladybug has bright orange wings with black color. Its coloring warns meat - eating animals that the ladybug tastes terrible. The striped skunk (带条纹的臭鼬) has white stripes that are a warning to meat - eating animals that they may be in for an unpleasant surprise if they try to attack.Some animals, like the red - eyed tree frog, may frighten their enemies away with their color. Red -eyed tree frogs sleep during the day: If a meat - eating animal came up to them and they opened their eyes, the bright red color of their eyes might shock the enemy long enough to give the red - eyed frog time to jump away to safely!32. The author wrote this text mainly to tell us .A. what advertising coloration attracts animals B. the use of color by animals and plantsC. ways for animals to protect themselves D. how plants and animals change their color33. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By providing explanations.D. By offering research findings.34. What ran we learn from the text?A. The striped skunk use white stripes to attract males.B. Female birds may have colorful and bright feathers.C. The color of the ladybugs suggests that they taste terrible.D. Red - eyed tree frogs sleep during the day with their eyes open.35. Which of the following is used to scare animals away?A. Colors of berries.B. Colors of flowers.C. Colors of the male birds.D. Colors of the red - eyed tree frogs.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。How to Make the Most of Your TimeTime management is important in our daily life.
