27、Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs.

It is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their honeybee work. Each bee has a certain job to do.

The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax(蜂蜡). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything—even people—to keep their hive safe, if need.

Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death.

The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2, 000 eggs a day.

28、As today’s high schoolers are facing too much homework, sports teams and clubs and high-rising college costs, many people are rethinking the idea of high schoolers working. Are there still benefits of having a job in high school? The answer is yes.

When I was 14 years old, my mother suggested that I get a job in order to pay for college. Unhappy with my sporadic (零星的) babysitting work, I told my mother that, no matter what job I got, I’d never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker’s pay.

My mother smiled and told me that there were plenty of other reasons why I should get a job apart from just the paycheck (工资支票). So I found myself finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard at my town’s public pool. I ended up working part-time at the pool through all four years of high school.

Not everything about the job was marvelous. Actually, there were times I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and lecturing kids on their bad manners, but, like my mother said, I got many other benefits from the job besides the paycheck.

At my job, I made lots of new friends, more than I had made in high school. I also learnt lots of skills including CPR (心肺复苏法) training. I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in college.

For many high school students, there are many benefits of having a job. Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money, meet new people, and develop some skills, you can also use your teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.

A．She suggested that the author get a job to pay for college.

D．She suggested that the author jump in the pool.

【2】What does the underlined word “marvelous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Tiring.

B．Frightening

C．Adventurous.

D．Enjoyable.

【3】How did the author’s part-time job benefit him?

A．It led him to be a headmaster.

B．It helped him get a good job in college.

C．It helped him run his own company in college.

D．It provided him with enough money to pay for college.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．More Than Just the Paycheck

B．My First Job in High School

D．High Schoolers Are Having a Hard Time

29、We have a crisis on our hands. You mean global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who’s responsible? Actually, it’s more like, what is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it-Facebook, Twitter. You can write your own list.

There’s been a warning about the immediate death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20 th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has developed quickly. The world is more literate than ever before -- there are more and more readers, and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-book readers as an example. Devices like Kindle make reading more convenient and are a lot more environmentally friendly than the traditional paper book.

As technology makes new ways of writing possible, new ways of reading are possible. Inter-connectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations, an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links: to texts, pictures and videos. In the future, the way people write novels, history and philosophy will resemble nothing seen in the past.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization. One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long “digest” of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation(碎片化) of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span---that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone utterly in tune with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

In the 15th century, Johannes Guttenberg’s invention of the printing press in Europe had a huge impact on civilization. Once upon a time the physical book was a challenging thing. We should remember this before we assume that technology is out to destroy traditional culture.

【1】The following are all cited as advantages of e-books EXCEPT _________.

A．multiform content

B．environmental friendliness

C．convenience for readers

D．imaginative design

【2】The underlined word “trivialization” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.

A．making things unimportant and less serious

B．reducing people’s attention span

C．making things funny like a joke

D．offering “single-sentence-long” novels

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．We are facing the problem of declining of reading due to the fast development of the Internet.

B．The single-sentence-long “digests” can help us read the great novels with ease.

C．People need the knowledge of modern technology in order to survive in the fast-changing society.

D．The author is concerned about the negative effect of technology on traditional culture.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing.

B．Inter-connectivity is a feature of the new reading experience.

C．Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading.

D．Technology offers a greater variety of the reading experience.

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.

It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holidays, much like relationships, can be “made, 【1】 and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor, believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.

A round dining table is best for 【2】 a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.

Avoid 【3】 grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 【4】 to hear or keep up with a conversation.

Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 【5】, though.”

Be 【6】 that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 【7】.

Some families find that gatherings go more 【8】 if they participate in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more 【9】 than sitting around chatting.
