（共20小题；，每小题2分，满分40分 ）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）awhen christopher columbus landed on the then unnamed costa rica in 1502, he saw many indians wearing gold earrings. so he thought the land must be rich in gold. he named the place costa rica, which means “rich coast” in spanish. though little gold was found, costa rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. coffee is the most important product in costa rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like america and west germany. bananas are the countrys second most important export. costa ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. costa ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. education is very important to the costa ricans. almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. classes begin in march and end in november. the other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.56. whats the main idea of the first paragraph? a. how columbus found costa rica. b. how costa rica got its name. c. what the costa ricans wore. d. what language the costa ricans spoke.57. the costa ricans may not paint their houses _. a. pink and red b. grey and black c. blue and green d. yellow and orange58. from december to february, school children in costa rica _. a. have lessons every day b. have their examinations c. help their parents pick coffee beans d. help their parents decorate their houses bdo you want to love what you do for a living? follow your passion. this piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. but this can be a problem.ive spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. it became clear early in the process that the suggestion to ” follow your passion was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. however, it doesnt mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. the reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.passion is earned. different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features ： autonomy，respect， competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. in other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，dont seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. the problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. as you become increasingly valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. however, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.passion is dangerous. ive watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job- hopping due to the follow your passion ，advice. the issue is expectations. if you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness， reality will always pale in comparison.work is hard. not every day is fun. if youre seeking a dream job, youll end up frustrated again and again. dont set out to discover passion. instead, set out to develop it. this path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but its a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.59. people satisfied with their careers are _.a. autonomous and passionateb. creative and competentc. respectable and sensitived. creative and passionate60. what is the authors advice on achieving career satisfaction?a. developing passion for what one is doing.b. matching the pre-existing passion to ones work.c. figuring out early what one will do in the future.d. discovering skills that lead to interesting careers.61. the underlined sentence in para. 5 probably means that _.a. it is not easy to match our passion with our jobsb. we shouldnt think everyone has a pre-existing passionc. high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointmentd. workplace happiness does not require a pre-existing passion62. whats the authors attitude towards the advice of ”following your passion”？a. ambiguous.b. supportive.c. cautious.d. disapproving.chumans： its time to abandon earth or race extinction.it could be the plot of a summer blockbuster (巨片），but this prediction isnt science fiction. its a glimpse of the future ，according to famous british scientist stephen hawking.“i see great dangers for the human race，he said in an interview with global forum big think. there have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go. ”“i believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”，he said. “it will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet earth in the next hundred years ，let alone the next thousand, or million. ”hawking ，who was awarded the presidential medal of freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on earth.if aliens visited us ，the outcome would be as much as when columbus landed in america, which didnt turn out well for the native americans，” he said. “such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧者），looking to conquer (征服）and colonize whatever planets they can reach. ”but hawking says hes still hopeful for the future of humanity. he told big think. weve made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. but if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years ，our future is in space.”getting to another planet will prove a challenge ，not to mention colonizing it for humanity. katherine freese from university of michigan told big think that “the nearest star to earth is proxima centauri which is 4. 2 light years away. that means ，if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4. 2 years to get there or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”63.humans are advised to abandon earth mainly because _.a. aliens will take up our home planet soonb. it was discussed in the forum big thinkc. many scientists like hawking concern itd. many disasters will happen on the earth64.thinking about the future of humans, hawking feels that _a. humans cant live on the earth any longerb. the earth will not be habitable for humansc. other planets are ready for humans to reachd. aliens are the biggest future threat to humans65.what is the writers key point in the last paragraph?a. it is impossible to get to another planet in space.b. it is urgent for hawking to develop the space science.c. the near future cant see humans move to another planet.d. the planet proxima centauri is far away from the earth.66.this passage is most probably taken from _a. a conference interviewb. a science fictionc. a history bookd. a forum reportdin this age of internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. she wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. as a writer i know about winning contests, and about losing them. i know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. i also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. what if she doesnt win the contest again? thats the strange thing about being a parent. so many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface. a revelation (启示) came last week when i asked her, “dont you want to win again?” “no,” she replied, “i just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.” i had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. telling myself that i was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, i offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. the story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. i had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. because i know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, i h
