26、College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job. But for 6000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there’s uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted (新兴的) degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. “You look at everybody’s parents and neighbors, and they’re getting laid off and don’t have jobs,” said Stewart. “Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce…it’s just scary.”

When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they’ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. “Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,” said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Center. “Times have changed. It’s a new market.”

Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, ‘sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. “The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They’ve postured themselves well during the summer. They’ve had several internships (实习), ”she said.

And they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot—like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing—where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.

Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy, “he said.

To some students a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.

【1】The main idea of the passage is that __.

A．Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job

B．a college career center is a crossroads between college and the real world

C．in some fields, salaries have increased in the past year

B．The number of teaching jobs increased.

C．Salaries in chemical engineering increased.

D．The number of jobs with benefits decreased.

【3】The purpose of a college career center is probably to ____.

A．prepare students to find jobs after they graduate

B．find jobs for students while they are in school

C．help high school students get accepted to college

D．help students do their homework

【4】Which of the following majors has the best job prospects, according to the passage?

A．Information systems management.

B．Accounting.

C．Computer science.

D．Teaching.

【5】“To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth.” This sentence means ____.

A．having a college degree does not qualify someone for travel discounts

B．a college degree does not guarantee that a person will find a high-paid job

C．most students with degrees will be able to find jobs

D．the best way to get rich is to get a college degree

27、Since the lockdown (封闭) due to COVID-19, my kids had got much more time to spare at home, so I thought I would use this moment to teach them self-reliance (自力更生).

One day months ago, my daughter Tashi, 16, walked leisurely out of her bedroom at noon. I told her mopping (拖地) was her responsibility. She said, “Fine,” and went to the bathroom. With one hand, she pushed the mop slowly. I waited. Twenty minutes passed, and she didn’t even finish the kitchen area.

I was about to lose my temper before I controlled myself and went for a run instead.

As I ran, I got even more angry when I thought about how my 11-year-old son Sebastian still couldn’t tie his shoes, or fold a shirt, or pick up his wet towel off the floor and hang it up.

How can my kids be this lazy and incompetent (无能的)?

Of course, I knew. Every single morning, I pick up Sebastian’s towel because it’s just easier than wrestling him to do it. And Tashi acted like she’d never seen a mop because she hadn’t. I was angry, but the anger was misdirected. I was annoyed with myself.

I spoke to a psychologist friend, and she told me that my way of educating is called “snowplow (雪犁) parenting”, which means pushing every barrier out of the way. It’s a problem. Doing too much for kids makes them helpless.

Oh dear! I hurt my kids by helping.

For the last months, I have forced myself to turn off the snowplow, trying my hardest not to jump in and do the work assigned to the kids. I can’t say the kids do their tasks willingly. Or well. But they are learning.

Then yesterday, I got a small win. After I went grocery shopping, I told the kids to unload the car, then I went to the bathroom. When I came out, I heard Tashi shouting at Sebastian: “Help me put the stuff away. You can’t expect Mom to do everything.”

【1】How did the author feel after watching her daughter mopping?

A．Angry.

B．Calm.

C．Confused.

D．Relieved.

【2】Why did the author get angry with herself?

A．She regretted getting mad at her daughter.

B．She was ashamed to have wronged her kids.

C．She was guilty about causing her kids’ problems.

D．She felt hopeless about her two disappointing kids.

【3】According to the text, what do “snowplow parents” tend to do?

A．Give kids limited time to play freely.

B．Do too much for kids.

C．Prevent kids from thinking for themselves.

D．Enjoy teaching kids to overcome difficulties.

【4】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．The kids prepared a surprise for their mother.

B．The author’s new parenting method worked.

C．The kids made no progress in being self-reliant.

D．The author received more respect from her kids than before.

32、阅读下面材料，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。

When Gloria Estefan started primary school, she could not read, write nor speak English. She felt lost, unhappy and completely frightened. However, someone changed her life—her English teacher, Mrs Collins. Her family had left Cuba in 1959 when she was only a year old in the hope of finding a better life in America. Initially they moved to Miami where the family settled in a set of apartments with other Cuban women and children who had immigrated.

The women were close-knit and supportive. While she felt safe, she was also isolated. They all spoke Spanish, and she rarely heard English. On her very first day in school, which she was looking forward to, she was completely shocked. She came home and told her mother that she had learnt her first English word “stupid”. It was the nickname a boy had given her.

In every way possible, she was set apart from her classmates. She was the only panic and non-white student. She also found it difficult to grasp the English language as it was her second language. The culture, her school friends and the food they ate were different from hers. As such, she was set apart from her classmates.

One person made that year bearable for her, Mrs Collins. She was young and African American, so she understood how Gloria felt as she was the only non-white student in class. Mrs Collins never doubted that Gloria could catch up with the other students in time.

Still, the teasing continued. The boy who called her stupid would not stop laughing at her for her accent. He was a good student and the proud holder of the class’s reading award. It was an honour given periodically to a student, based on excellence in schoolwork, participation and homework. Gloria wanted that long-waited award.

注意：
