your career? you are probably better at some school subjects than others. 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 example, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. you should not be apologetic (认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.41. what is the passage mainly about?a. the importance of working hard at school.b. choosing a career according to ones strengths.c. how to face ones weakness.d. the value of school work.42. the writer thinks that a student with a part-time job is probably _.a. a good way to find out his weak pointsb. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyc. of great use for his work in the futured. a waste of time he could have spent on study43. from the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he _.a. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesb. will be regretful about his bad resultsc. may also do well in his future workd. should restart his study in school44. the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in para. 3) probably means “_”.a. be clumsy (笨拙) at doing things b. be skillful in doing thingsc. be not interested in certain things d. be easily bored in doing things45. from the last paragraph we know one should _.a. make full use of ones own weak pointsb. study harder for a new school recordc. apologize for ones own school recordd. face ones own weak points bravely bbexley middle school eighth-graders won the grand prize at the 2009 national engineers week future city competition (tm) on feb. 18 in washington, d.c. they competed with 37 other schools across the country. the students qualified for the national competition by winning a regional competition on jan. 17 in columbus. by winning the national event, the students earned an all-expenses paid trip to space camp in huntsville, ala., according to a bexley school district news report.future city aims to stir (激发) interest in science, technology, engineering and math among young people. bexley team members were tom krajnak, abby sharp, wyatt peery, elizabeth maher, aaron hutchinson and truman haycock. they work in teams under the guidance of a teacher, margaret englehardt, and a volunteer engineer, mark sherman, design and build a city of tomorrow. mayor john brennan presented the students during a recent bexley city council meeting. each team in the future city competition plans its city using sim city software and creates a model to show a physical representation of one section of the city. team members must write both an essay about the yearly theme and an abstract about their city. they also must make a presentation to judges.focusing on eco-responsibility, the bexley team built “novo-mondum,” an icelandic city in the year 2171. krajnak said the teams project included a new water system for each resident unit and a 500-word essay on using bacteria to purify water. “we used our essay and abstract (摘要) to build a model,” he said. “it was hard to organize which building would go where, what each building does and how to make it look good.”englehardt said her students did a good job answering impromptu (即席) questions during the regional competition. “they can think on their feet,” she said. principal harley williams said the school is very proud of the students performance.46. from the passage we can learn that the grand prize winners will _.a. receive scholarship for further studies b. get a free trip to space camp in huntsvillec. earn a large sum of money for their designs d. be admitted to universities without exams47. the goal of the future city competition is to _.a. make the sim city software popular b. test the students knowledge of city planningc. select future engineers from young students d. make students become interested in engineering48. each team must do the following except _.a. write brief abstracts describing their city b. present and defend their designs before judgesc. build a future city in iceland by themselves d. create model cities using the sim city software49. according to margaret englehardt, the students _.a. always stand still in the competition b. react very quickly to the questionsc. prepare for the questions in advance d. take pride in the advisers performance csomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites youve visited. or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. in fact，its likely some of these things have already happened to youwho would watch you without your permission? it might be a girlfriend，a marketing company, a boss，a policeman or a criminal. whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equal to being caught naked (裸露的). psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. actually few boundaries remain. the digital breadcrumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like. in some cases，a simple google search can reveal what you think. like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. the key question is: does that matter? for many americans, the answer apparently is “no”. when opinion polls (民意调查) ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. a survey found a majority of people are pessimistic (悲观的) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.” but people say one thing and do another. only a small part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费亭) to avoid using the ez pass system that can track (跟踪) automobile movements. and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. privacy economist alessandro acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).but privacy does matter at least sometimes. its like health; when you have it, you dont notice it. only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.51. what would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? a. there should be a distance even between friends. b. there should be fewer quarrels between friends. c. friends should always be faithful to each other. d. friends should open their hearts to each other.52. why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”? a. there are always people who are curious about others affairs. b. many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities. c. people leave traces around when using modem technology. d. modem society has finally developed into an open society.53. what do most americans do to protect privacy? a. they change behaviors that might disclose their identity. b. they talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. c. they rely more and more on electronic equipment. d. they use various loyalty cards for business deals.54we can infer from paragraph 2 that _. a. criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology b. people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age c. in the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets d. peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge55according to the passage，privacy is like health in that _.a. its importance is rarely understoodb. it is something that can easily be lostc. people will make every effort to keep itd. people dont treasure it until they lose it) 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 首先，请阅读下列英语电影的名称及内容简介：a. birth of a nation birth of a nation was the most popular film of the silent era. the message in the film was that african americans could never be integrated into the white society as equals. race violence directed against african americans took place in many cities. in the south, african americans were only allowed to go to separate schools, hotels, and restaurants.b. gone with the wind gone with the wind was the costliest and most popular film of hollywoods golden era. producer david selznick had promised that the film would be free of any anti-negro ideas. although it did not use white actors in blackface, like birth of a nation, its picture of enslaved african americans as loyal but scatter-brained house servants and clumsy field hands was what the white thought the black ought to be then.c. glory glory offers a powerful retelling of the story of the first black regiment (团) during the american civil war. half the regiments men were killed or wounded in the war, but it dramatically demonstrated the courage of african american troops in battle. however, the film failed to describe the larger historical context of the civil war.d. amistad the steven spielberg film is about a historical event. in 1839, a group of africans were captured and shipped to the spanish colony of cuba. during trans-shipment to nearby sugar plantations, 53 slaves overpowered the crew. the captives then ordered the two men who had purchased them to navigate the ship toward africa. at night, however, the men sailed the ship northward and westward. the case ultimately went to the supreme court. in 1841, the court freed the captives.e. beloved the film is based on margaret garners story of killing her own two-year-old daughter mary. margaret garner said that she had intended to kill her other children rather than see them returned to slavery. she later explained that she wanted to “end their sufferings” rather than see them returned to bondage and “murdered by piecemeal”. no other work has so powerfully examined the interior life of a former slave.f. schindlers list the film concerns the lives of a thousand jews during world war ii. the film shows, unforgettably, how one man does make a difference. schindler proves that mans morality and humanity are always alive. “save one life, save the world entire.” the heavy tone and fearful atmosphere of the film are heightened by black-and-white cinematogr
