26、My track and field coach, Mr. Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4×100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr. Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practiced passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should be as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let it go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the corner. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose?” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

27、We’re now witnessing the emergence (出现) of an advanced economy based on information and knowledge. Physical labor, raw materials, and capital (资本) are no longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth. 【1】 Tomorrow’s wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. And individuals entering the workforce offer their knowledge, not their muscles. 【2】 Knowledge workers engage in (从事) mind work. They deal with symbols: words, figures and data.

Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work, and that number will increase sharply in the future.

In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures. 【4】 Gone are the nine-to-five jobs, lifetime security, predictable promotions, and even the conventional workplace, as you are familiar with. Don’t expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path. And don’t wait for someone to “empower” you. 【5】

29、Even in the face of fire, smoke and flood, firefighter Li Shengli doesn’t draw back. He simply says it is his job as a firefighter and his duty as a member of the Communist Party of China.
Li, 51, who became a firefighter in 1991, has fought at the forefront in firefighting and rescue over the past 30 years. He has participated in over 11,000 tasks, saving about 30,000 trapped people.
In one task in May 1993, a fire broke out in a mall in Nanchang. When firefighters arrived at the scene, smoke and fire had blocked all the exits for people inside the building, leaving hundreds of people upstairs in danger. Facing smoke and flames, the then 21-year-old rushed to the front and climbed up the aerial ladder (云梯) to evacuate people from a height of more than 20 meters. Finally, about 270 people were rescued.
“Fear is a human nature, but not retreating is a kind of responsibility. With so many people waiting to be rescued, I couldn’t be afraid, let alone withdraw,” he said.
In July 2021, when several cities in Henan Province were hit by severe floods, Li joined the rescue. He and his teammates used a small boat to transfer trapped people. The boat suddenly lost power and stopped in the water. Without hesitation, Li jumped into the deep water and grabbed a rope to move them to a safe place several hundred meters away.
“The people on the boat were all villagers from my hometown. I brought my teammates to my hometown to fight the flood, and of course I needed to get down into the water first to help,” he said.
In September 2021, Li was transferred to the command center of Jiangxi Fire and Rescue Brigade due to many physical injuries. “The platform has changed, but the heart of being a firefighter is the same. You have to get to the front line when the emergency appears, then others would trust you.”
【1】Why was the aerial ladder used in the rescue of the Nanchang fire?
A．All the exits of the mall were blocked.
B．The mall was too high for people to get down.
C．People trapped in the mall suffered from injuries.
D．It was funny to carry people with the aerial ladder.
【2】Which of the following can best describe Li Shengli?
A．Energetic and humorous.
B．Honest and confident.
C．Devoted and responsible.
D．Curious and brave.
【3】What do Li’s words in the last paragraph imply?
A．He is willing to pass his belief down.
B．He expects to find more favour with people.
C．He has benefited a lot from his career experiences.
D．He is determined to devote himself to serving people.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Disasters call for more firefighters
B．Hard work pays off, career takes off
C．Firefighter braves dangers to save lives
D．Firefighter jumps into water to save teammates
