1、阅读下面的短文，然后将划线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。

Have you ever thought of such a question like “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer. Should I give history up?”

Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. 1. But school learning is more than just getting knowledge.

2. 首先，努力找到你对什么感兴趣。At school, you study many subjects.You need to know what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.

Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. 3. 但是来自数学的能力能帮助你在将来解决许多问题。So you should practice your brain by thinking more.

Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don't speak English at all. 4. But learning English can show that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go abroad one day and want to find a job there, how can you make it if you’re not confident in expressing yourself in language learning?

Try to challenge new things as much as possible. 5. 你越多地挑战自我，你将越好地了解自我。

24、   Kids go to school to learn plenty of subjects. Finally? education prepares kids to have a meaningful career （职业）in a field they enjoy. So thinking and learning about career choices before high school is always a good idea. But when should kids begin career education?

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A teacher? A doctor? Or a baseball player? Preschool-aged children naturally think about their future careers. By imagining, exploring and role-playing, kids are likely to choose careers that interest them. Encouraging this career role-playing is healthy and can be quite telling; kids often clearly prefer either left-brained or right-brained roles.

At some point beyond the role-playing stage, students should be shown to a more serious career education curriculum （课程）. You may think that career education isn't all that necessary until kids finish high school, because that's when they're usually expected to get a job or choose a course of study in college. Experts （专家）disagree.

“The influence of early involvement can have a hugely good effect on wider academic （学术的）achievements, helping both children and their families to see a future which is achievable." writes Robert Halfon, chair of the Education Select Committee in the UK.

Many experts accept the idea that career education should begin at a young age. They suggest career education in school should progress as follows:

• Kids in primary school should learn about why people work.

•Kids in early middle school should learn about the importance of a career in earning money.

•Kids in grades seven through ten should begin to discuss and think about different jobs.

•Kids in grades ten and beyond should discover their strengths and interests, recognize suitable careers, and become involved in specific activities to help them understand what they need to work on to do their dream career.

Starting career education early prepares students for the real world by making the connection between what they're learning in school and why they’re learning it. For example, if a child wants to build tall buildings and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career, the child will be more likely to study, rather than hate, math.

Career education opens kids' minds to all that is possible. And, at the end of the day, isn't that what parents and teachers want for their kids and students?

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Kids feel confident about choosing their careers.

B.It's natural for kids to change their career choices.

C.Kids do career role-playing to develop their interests.

D.It's normal for kids to think about their future careers.

【2】Experts suggest that career education in school should ______.

A.develop in different grades

B.promise kids academic success

C.help kids know their strengths first

D.provide kids with rich job experience

【3】What does the example of the child who wants to build tall buildings show?

A.Math skills are the most important in school education.

B.Career education can help children find out what they want to do.

C.Children who want to build tall buildings are usually good at math.

D.Career education makes children more willing to study for their future jobs.

【4】The writer probably agrees that ______ .

A.career education should begin earlier for kids

B.kids don't need to worry about their future careers

C.kids should learn all subjects well for future careers

D.career education in middle school is not a must for kids

25、When I first started reading The Art of War by famous philosopher (哲学家) Sun Tzu, I really had no idea what I was getting into. To be honest, I just thought the title cool. I was in high school at the time and hardly knew anything about war or philosophy (哲学), and when the two mixed together it was impossible for me to understand.

As I was trying to read different types of books at the time, some Chinese philosophy like The Art of War sounded like an interesting choice. But as soon as I opened it and started reading, I was confused. Why did so many people find this book interesting? Some sentences like “The skillful soldier does not raise a second levy (税款), neither are his supply wagons (马车) loaded more than twice” didn’t make sense to me.

But like most philosophy, The Art of War should not be taken literally. And after reading a bit more deeply and thinking what lay behind the words, I found some interesting ideas that I could use in my own life. For example, the sentence “If the enemy leaves a door open, you must rush in” can mean to take chances quickly and confidently before they disappear. I believe that the sentence “Do not repeat the tactics (战术) which have given you one victory, but let your tactics be able to be used in thousands of different situations" means to be ready to change your way of thinking when you run into challenges.

It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I still remember some of its lessons. It was an interesting look into ancient Chinese culture that is still useful today. It’s no wonder that so many business people around the world have reed it over the years.

【1】The book The Art of War is probably about __________.

A．famous philosophers

B．history of wars

C．philosophy of art

D．philosophy of war

【2】When the writer first read The Art of War, he thought it __________.

A．interesting

B．confusing

C．useful

D．cool

【3】What does the underlined word “literally” mean in Chinese?

A．草率地

B．直观地

C．字面上地

D．文学上地

【4】What can we inter from the last two paragraphs?

A．After reading the book more deeply, the writer found some useful ideas.

B．The book The Art of War can only be used to teach people how to win a war.

C．The writer learned that good chances were offered to those who were ready.

D．Students in business school may be required to read the book The Art of War.

26、If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online — many of them are talking at the same time.

It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.

【1】When people are online, they talk by ______.

A. using body language

B. drawing some strange pictures

C. making phone calls

D. making use of a special short form of English

A. people should use words properly

B. people should know what time it is when they are talking

C. people online have to express themselves in a simple way

D. people should communicate in a funny way

【3】 If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.

A. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

D. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl

【4】Which of the following is a way to save online time?

A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.

【2】According to the chart, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Students are supposed to prepare their own Health Code.

B．Students needn’t keep at least 1 meter away from others if wearing a mask.

C．Teachers should go back to their classroom after the nucleic acid test as soon as possible.

28、There are a lot of interesting things in the world. If someone tells you 【1】 they can fish in the desert, you must think they are joking. But this is true. In some places of Africa, people can fish in the desert. It must be very interesting 【2】 get some fish from the sand. And in the woods of Asia there 【3】 a kind of bird. To our surprise, this kind of bird doesn’t eat anything but iron（铁）. I think the bird must have harder body parts 【4】 the iron. We all know that snakes can eat mice, but in a place in Africa, a kind of big mouse can eat snakes. Isn’t it interesting? Have you ever heard of “brush trees”? They are different 【5】 the trees we know. People can use their branches（树枝）to brush teeth. Can you believe it?

In fact, there are a lot of interesting things in our world. If you are careful enough, you can find them easily around you.

29、The shortest player in the NBA
