第一节 共第一节 共 1515 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满分 3030 分 分 A When 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 country s 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 What s 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 7 A pink and red B grey and black C blue and green D yellow and orange 58 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 B Do 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 I ve 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 doesn t 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 don t 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 I ve 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 you re seeking a dream job you ll end up frustrated again and again Don t set out to discover passion Instead 8 set out to develop it This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate but it s a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going 59 People satisfied with their careers are A autonomous and passionateB creative and competent C respectable and sensitiveD creative and passionate 60 What is the author s advice on achieving career satisfaction A Developing passion for what one is doing B Matching the pre existing passion to one s 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 jobs B we shouldn t think everyone has a pre existing passion C high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointment D workplace happiness does not require a pre existing passion 62 What s the author s attitude towards the advice of following your passion A Ambiguous B Supportive C Cautious D Disapproving C Humans It s time to abandon Earth or race extinction It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster 巨片 but this prediction isn t science fiction It s 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 9 landed in America which didn t 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 he s still hopeful for the future of humanity He told Big Think We ve 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 soon B it was discussed in the forum Big Think C many scientists like Hawking concern it D many disasters will happen on the Earth 64 Thinking about the future of humans Hawking feels that A humans can t live on the earth any longer B the earth will not be habitable for humans C other planets are ready for humans to reach D aliens are the biggest future threat to humans 65 What is the writer s 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 can t see human s 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 fiction C a history bookD a forum report D In 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 10 the publisher I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories What if she doesn t win the contest again That s 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 Don t 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 had to accept the fact that I was co opting 借用 my daughter s experience While stepping back was difficult for me it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment grow and find their own voices 67 What did the author say about her own writing experience A She was constantly under pressure of writing more B Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers C Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations D She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer 68 Why did Rebecca want to enter this year s writing contest A She wanted to share her stories with readers B She had won a prize in the previous contest C She was sure of winning with her mother s help D She believed she possessed real talent for writing 69 The author took great pains to refine her daughter s stories because A she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dream of becoming a writer B she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance C she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much 11 D she was afraid Rebecca s imagination might run wild while writing 70 What s the author s advice for parents A Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions B Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience C Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in D A writing career though attractive is not for every child to pursue 第二节第二节 共 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满
