21、   Children are now more likely to want to work in social media or gaming than traditional careers, a survey has found. According to the new research, many seven to eleven-year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs, rather than professions such as police officer or doctor. Children’s career aspirations are often based on factors such as gender stereotypes or what they’ve seen in the media, TV and film.

Around 21% said they wanted to be sportsmen or sportswomen, followed by 11% wanting to be teachers, and 7% wanting to be vets. Another 6% wanted to work in social media and gaming. This was a sign that there had been “a shift in the aspirations of children, built largely upon new communication methods and the growth of online and console-based gaming”.

“For more and more children and young people, online celebrities and YouTube gaming ‘vloggers’ have taken the place of TV and movie stars,” the report said. Social media and gaming is the fourth most popular career choice for children, while singer/musician and actor/actress further down the list at ninth and thirteenth.

“It could be argued that this is due to the growing fame and attraction of YouTube and video blogging stars, who are especially popular among younger audiences.” Also, these choices may also speak to children’s present worlds. Many seven to eleven-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps simultaneously watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.

The survey found that 5% of children who took part wanted to be in the police, with the same proportion planning on becoming doctors. A gender breakdown shows the top job choice for girls was teacher (19%), followed by vet (11%) and sportswoman (9%), while for boys it was sportsman (34%) followed by social media and gaming (9%) and police (8%).

This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools, to make sure that all children have access to role models in a wide range of sectors to help them develop an awareness of career options at an early age. “This is important to ensure that all children—regardless of gender and backgrounds—can fulfill their full potential.”

【1】What is concluded in the study?

A.Children prefer online celebrities to an actor now.

B.Children spend more time playing games.

C.Children are addicted to social media.

D.Children know nothing but modem technology.

【2】What has contributed to changing children’s career aspirations?

A.Gender stereotypes.

B.The new methods of communication.

C.Their different backgrounds.

D.Their level of education.

【3】What do the numbers in the last but one paragraph suggest?

A.Vets are disliked by girls.

B.Girls aren’t suitable for police.

C.Gender influences children’s choice of a job.

D.Sports stars are popular with boys and girls.

【4】Why do children need an awareness of career choices early?

A.They can build close relationship with employers.

B.They can work in different sectors.

C.They can become role models.

D.They can explore their potential fully.

22、We’ve probably all heard the saying that things won’t make us happy: we make ourselves happy 【1】. So the following are four ways you can start practicing happiness today.

【2】.

Plenty of important information can be found on the news and social media, but those are so easy avenues to depression and anxiety. Don’t follow the accounts that break down your self-esteem and turn to something that lift your spirits. What you consume greatly determines what lives in your mind, so consume wisely.

Cut down on your “yeses”.

When we are being pulled in a million different directions by our significant others or jobs, we can get tired quickly. 【3】. You can’t give your absolute best to everyone when your happiness tank is almost empty, so try to turn down those extra activities in your life that are unnecessary.

Train your mind to make positive substitutions.

【4】. Resist this mindset (心态) by actively trying to turn negative thoughts into positive or even neutral ones the minute they enter your mind. Even if your heart is not fully behind Whatever positive substitution you’ve come up with, what’s most important is that you’re building the habit of doing it.

Turn your attention to someone else.

Have you ever had a friend who ordered you a cup of coffee online just because it was a Tuesday and he/she missed you? Well, be that person for someone else! On those days when your mood is anything but happy, take a second to sit in gratitude for your job, your home, or your support system. Then turn your attention off yourself and onto all the ways you can channel thankfulness into making someone else’ s day. 【5】

A．Prioritize what fills you up

B．Pay attention to what you digest

C．We promise you, that’s instant joy

D．It’s time to look for opportunities to say no

E．Happiness is like a muscle you can stretch or a skill you can practice

F．Of course, you need to think of happiness as a means instead of an end

G．Whether it’s coming from an outside source or from your own inner voice, negativity feeds negativity

23、In the US, there is an old joke: “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back and he’ll be speechless.” However, Susan Goldin-Meadowin, author of the book Thinking With Your Hands, has a rather different view.

“Almost everyone gestures, not just Italians,” she laughs. “Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms, though no one is looking at them. Even people born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. In the TV series, The Crown, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may reveal her real emotions, which could be dangerous and that they have to be tied together so she can learn to speak without gesturing.”

The gesture under discussion is the so-called “co-speech gesture”. It is much more abstract than such symbolic gestures like a finger over the lips for “Silence!” or raising a finger to mean “Great!”. Like words, such symbolic gestures are fixed within cultures (but vary between them). Instead, co-speech gestures that accompany speech are another channel of information and emotion. For example, subjects are asked to watch a film in which a cat runs, but they are told to lie and say it jumped. They may do so in words—while their hands will make a running movement. The co-speech gesture is not sign languages, either. They have clearly defined words and grammar.

And the co-speech gestures have great potential for practical applications. For example, some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they understand it. Then they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they really understand it.

“Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at or around birth are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months, if they gesture as much as their peers (同龄人). Those who gesture less are more likely to need intensive early intervention,” Susan Goldin-Meadowin adds. “Co-speech gesturing is not just about a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is an aid to both.”

【1】What does Susan Goldin-Meadowin really want to tell us in paragraph 2?

A．Lady Diana is probably an emotional woman.

B．Italians are very talkative and gesture too much.

C．It is unnatural for the blind to gesture to each other.

D．Co-speech gestures are used by all of us unknowingly.

【2】What can we say about sign languages?

A．They are as abstract as co-speech gestures.

B．They have clearly defined words and grammar.

C．They are usually learned by human beings naturally.

D．They vary from culture to culture and person to person.

【3】What does the author suggest teachers do in the text?

A．Put enough trust in students.

B．Encourage students to tell the truth.

C．Observe the co-speech gestures carefully.

D．Teach the tricky problems in different ways.

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

A．Co-speech Gestures Are a Vital Part of Communication

B．Symbolic Gestures Differ Greatly From Co-speech Gestures

C．Co-speech Gestures Are More Difficult Than Sign Languages

D．Symbolic Gestures Have Great Potential for Practical Applications

24、Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.

The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse(虐待). Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.

The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.

【1】What do we know about the second study?

A．Children's IQs have much to do with physical punishment.

B．The study is about violence and cooperation of children.

C．The children tested were divided into groups of four.

D．Children's mental development only relies on their IQs.

【2】What does the underlined word “spanked” refer to?

A．punished

B．blamed

C．tested

D．praised

【3】What might be the best title for the text?

A．The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior

B．Punishment Is the Best Way of Education

C．Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior

D．Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Punishment is the best way to influence bad behaviors.

B．The participants in the first study have the right to reward or punish others in the group.

C．the younger children have a higher IQ because of their parents’ educational level.

D．Adults are much more cooperative than children.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There have always been ups and downs in life. When I was doing my first job after graduation from college, which I neither liked nor was good at, I was at the lowest point of my life. For along time, I was depressed by my job. I often had to work overtime and barely made a living of the little money I received. After continuing this cycle of work and sleep for years. I finally decided to give up and take up the job of a joker. I don’t know why I chose to be a joker. The pay was exceptionally low, but at least the work was less. I wondered how this job would be any different from the last job. They were both meaningless.

Once I was called in a hospital to put up a show for the little kids who were admitted for weeks in this hospital. I had no mood to go but I had to pay my bills. Upon reaching the hospital I dressed as a joker putting on my ridiculously colorful costume in the restroom. Then I was on my way to the stage when I saw a kid staring at me with glittery eyes. He was a beautiful kid with no hair, a pair of dimples and a smile that you would never forget. He was in a wheelchair with an TV on his arm. The nurse who was attending him told me that he was suffering from cancer. I could feel the pain he was going through. The smile which came on his face upon seeing me made me realize that I must give this brave young fighter some comfort even if a little, during his sufferings. The nurse took the kid to his seat with other little patients.

I walked up to the stage and began to throw my tick.
