26、 What do you want to be when you are growing up? A doctor, an engineer — or maybe a footballer or actor? We all have big plans for our futures and believe there is a dream job waiting for us — one that will pay well and give great job satisfaction. But how realistic is that?
Today, in the UK at least, young people are being warned that some of their career hopes and dreams don’t match the types of jobs available. Research by the charity Education and Employers suggests five times as many 17 and 18 year-olds in the UK want to work in art, culture, entertainment and sport than there are jobs.
The excitement of working in these employment sectors (部门) is obviously an attraction. But those looking for these types of job will be disappointed. That’s what the report, Disconnected: Career ambitions and jobs in the UK, says. Writing about this for the BBC, Katherine Sellgren points out that although young people are keen to work in art, entertainment, culture and sport, the economy is unlikely to need them all. At the same time, there is a shortfall of young people wanting to work in careers such as catering and retail(零售).
Previous research about the career ambitions of young people by the Office for National Statistics also found a “reality gap” between their dreams and the sometimes disappointing truth by the time they reached their early to late-20s. Apart from those who aimed to go into teaching, fewer than one in 50 were in the jobs they had wanted — such as a doctor, vet, firefighter or actor. Most were working as sales assistants, careers or in sales and marketing.
Although it’s good to have ambitions, the aims of young people need to be realistic. This latest report suggests that children need to be made more aware of a wider variety of occupations at a younger age. It also calls for improved career advice in secondary schools. A spokeswoman for the Department for Work and Pensions told the BBC that “early careers advice can help young people set out on the right path to the job that channels their interests and unlocks their potential.”
【1】Which employment sector in the UK needs more people to work in?
A.Sport. B.Service industry.
C.Art & culture. D.Entertainment.
【2】The underlined phrase “ reality gap ” in Paragraph 4 refers to the difference between .
A.ambition and reality B.males and females
C.theory and practice D.the past and the present
【3】What suggestions about employment are NOT given to help young people?
A.They ought to be offered better career advice in secondary schools.
B.They should know more kinds of jobs at an early age.
C.The government should create more jobs for the young.
D.Their employment ambition should be realistic.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Unemployment Problems in Britain
B.Young People’s Lifestyles in Britain
C.Tips for Finding Dream Jobs in Britain
D.Unrealistic Career Ambitions in Britain
27、Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.
Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.
【1】The old like to talk about _______.
A. themselves B. others C. the past D. nothing
【2】When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses.
A. used to see people
B. disliked
C. was fond of
D. saw some elderly people
【3】Which is NOT right according to the passage?
A. In the past the village was a quiet place.
B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.
C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed.
D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors.
【4】I would rather _______ than _______.
A. watch TV; do some reading
B. play with friends; go fishing
C. do some reading; watch TV
D. go fishing; play with friends
28、Got a messy desk? Don’t worry. It likely means you’re creative and full of new ideas. A clean desk, by contrast, suggests generosity and tradition. “Previous study found that a clean setting leads people to do good things,” said Kathleen Vohs, a researcher from University of Minnesota. “We found, however, that you can get really valuable outcomes from being in a messy setting.”
In the first of several experiments, some participants (参与者) were asked to complete a task in a clean and orderly office, while others did so in a messy one with papers and office supplies everywhere. Afterward, the participants were given a chance to donate to a charity. “Being in a clean room seemed to encourage people to do what was expected of them,” Vohs said, “compared with the participants in the messy room, the participants in the clean room donated more of their own money to charity.”
But the researchers overlooked that messiness might have its advantages as well. In an—other experiment, the participants were asked to come up with new uses for ping—pong balls. The participants in the messy room got the same number of ideas for new uses for the balls as the ones in the clean—room did, but their ideas were considered as more interesting and creative.
“Being in a messy room led to something that firms, industries and societies want more of: creativity,”Vohs said. “The researchers also found that disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh ideas,” Vohs said. “Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage tradition and playing it safe,” Vohs added. “Just making that environment tidy or untidy made such a great difference in people’s behavior.”
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

B．The messier the environment is, the better it is.
C．The disorderly environments need to be cleaned up.
D．Bad habits may be formed in such an environment.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．It Is Time to Break Traditions
B．Clean up Your Messy Desk Now
C．What a Messy Desk Says about You

29、As people across the globe struggled with higher levels of stress, depression and anxiety this past year, many turned to their favorite comfort foods: ice cream, pizza, hamburgers. But studies in recent years suggest that the high-sugar and high-fat foods when we are stressed or depressed, as comforting as they may seem, are the least likely to benefit our mental health. Instead, whole foods such as vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, nuts may be a better bet.
Historically, nutrition research has focused largely on how the foods we eat affect our physical health, rather than our mental health, though. Over the years, large population studies have found that people assigned to follow a Mediterranean diet for three months had greater reductions in symptoms of depression after three months compared to a control group.
Public health experts around the world have started encouraging people to adopt lifestyle behaviors like exercise, sound sleep, a heart-healthy diet and avoiding smoking that may reduce inflammation (发炎) and have benefits for the brain. Individual clinicians are already including nutrition into their work with patients. Dr. Drew Ramsey, a clinical professor at the Columbia University, begins his meetings with new patients by exploring their diet. He asks what they eat, learns their favorite foods, and finds out if foods that he considers important for the connection are missing from their diets, such as plants, seafood.
Dr. Ramsey said he does not wat people to think that the only factor involved in brain heath is food. “Lots of people get their food exactly right, live very active lives, and still have significant troubles with their mental health,” he said. But he also teaches people that food can be empowering. “We can’t control our genes,” he said. “But we can control how we eat, and that gives people actionable things that they can do to take care of their brain health on a daily basis.”
【1】What do previous nutrition studies mainly focus on?
A．How our diets affect our mental health.
B．How our diets affect our physical health.
C．How our mental health affects our diets.
D．How our physical health affects our diets.
【2】Why are individual clinicians including nutrition into their work with patients?
A．They try to cater to their patients’ needs.
B．They are questioning public health experts.
C．They want to prove the effectiveness of healthy diets.
D．They have accepted the findings of large population studies.
【3】Which of the following might Dr. Ramsey agree with?
A．Some connection exists between our diets and mental health.
B．People can control their genes as well as how they eat.
C．People living active lives will not have mental problems.
D．Eating a healthy diet is going to cure depression.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．People with anxiety usually turn to food for comfort.
B．The daily diet is the factor connected with brain health.
C．Controlling the way we eat is likely to benefit our mental health.
D．Having a high-sugar diet can reduce symptoms of depression.

31、 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
If you can’t seem to catch enough Z’s during the week, you’re not alone. But bad things happen to your body when you’re sleep-deprived, not least of which is weight gain. Well, here’s some good news: Sleeping in on the weekend to make up for sleep lost during the week is 【1】 with lower body mass index (BMI), according to a study published in the Oxford University Press journal Sleep.
The researchers, a collaboration of scientists based in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Republic of Korean, sought to determine if what they refer to as “catch-up sleep” 【2】 body mass index (BMI) in the general population. To do so, they conducted face-to-face interviews of a random sampling of 2,156 adults, comparing their sleep habits with their BMI scores. The 932 participants who slept in — “catch-up sleepers” (people who sleep longer on the weekend than on weekdays by approximately two hours) had a(n) 【3】 lower BMI than the other subjects. What’s more, every additional hour of catch-up sleep was linked with a decrease in BMI.
As to why sleeping in on weekends can lead to weight loss, one of the study co-authors, Robert Thomas, MD, MMSc, of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, 【4】 Reader’s Digest of the “substantial(大量的) experimental and epidemiological(流行病学的) data that short sleep contributes to weight gain.” He notes, “our best 【5】 as researchers are that there are balances to be kept, and the body can adjust and 【6】 within reason. Catch-up sleep allows the basic balance to be maintained.”
Although the study showed significant differences in BMI with the 【7】 of two or more hours of catch-up sleep, Dr. Thomas points out that there are “substantial individual differences,” such that the benefit we get from those extra hours will vary 【8】 on how much sleep each of us generally needs. “To determine your optional sleep, you can track the time spent sleeping on nights when there is no need to wake up to an alarm,” suggests Liza Baker, a health coach at Simply Health Coaching. That tells you about how many hours of sleep your body likes to get, since it 【9】 greatly across the population, from just 4 to 5 hours to 9 to 10 hours.
So can you actually lost weight by sleeping in on the weekend? Only if you’re paying off a sleep 【10】 from the week, according to the result of this study. It helps if you’re also eating less, Dr. Thomas adds.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the telephone rang in the police station that day, no one there imagined they would receive an unusual call. Most calls reported illegal actions or emergencies, but this one was quite different.
“Hello,” a woman said in a weak voice. “I wonder if you can help me. I can’t leave the house, and I haven’t eaten for three days.” The operator was surprised but he asked for her name and address, and soon two police officers, Steve and Garret, were sent to deal with the case.
To their surprise, the address took them to a beautiful house with a big garden in a pricey neighborhood. Steve and Garret began to think the call might be a trick. With doubts, they rang the doorbell. After quite a while, a tiny old woman opened the door, with a bandage (绷带) roughly wrapped around her left arm.
Later, they knew the woman called Hilda Ross fell off a ladder (梯子) and that her left arm was injured. When asked why she didn’t go to the hospital, she said, “It’s just a sprain (扭伤). The only problem is that it hurts so much that I can hardly walk to the store to buy food. I didn’t ask neighbors for help since I just moved in weeks ago, neither knowing anyone nor having any friends here. My son David lives with me, but he’s on a business trip and won’t be back soon. So I had to look after myself. I didn’t tell my son about my situation because he just started a new job. I didn’t want to worry him.”
Clearly, Mrs Ross was very weak. So Steve and Garret offered to drive her to the hospital, but she refused, saying she didn’t want to trouble them so much and that she just hoped they could help her get some food with her money. However, they insisted on taking her to the hospital.
注意：
1.续写词数应为80左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, Mrs Ross agreed.
