15、e his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, “It could just as easily have been me.” Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess(重新评价) the direction of your own life. Jacks story is a good example. A s
16、uccessful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didnt spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughters eighteenth b
17、irthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old. Not long after his friends death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up.

18、ch his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friends family to manage after he passed away. Jack realized that he didnt want to end up his life that way.

In hotelsB. In the newspapersC. At restaurantsD. In shops C A newspaper reporters job can be very interestin
29、g. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Lets look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign co
30、untry, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed. In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the
31、early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at
32、 least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would
33、 say! A reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry wit
34、h him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull! D Your parents always tell you that a solid education is the key to a successful future. For those of you that will be graduating from high school, the commitment(承诺) you made to complete yo
35、ur schooling has been fulfilled. Another few years in some college classroom just doesnt sound too attractive; so what are your choices? Lets see, Choice 1You can live with your parents, leech on to them, and basically do nothing. Or Choice 2You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other c
36、hoices, but for this little discussion, well just suppose that they arent relevant. Okay, so Choice 2 is obviously going to be more productive. Youre finally into the workplace and will be entering the real world. What would be a good place to start? Well, hopefully high school helped to give you so
37、me sort of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you wont like. Gaining knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be very
38、 effective by helping you in your search to find that job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to research jobs and get some hands on work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in buffing up your resume and providing you with some valued experience. Internships(见习) or volunteering
39、 are usually a good place to start. If you are ready to begin a job after high school, the main benefits will clearly be saving money from high college expense and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the workplace is sometimes the only way to see for
40、 yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to school and get a degree. Besides, a college degree will usually equal higher wages.48. The underlined phrase “leech on to” in the f
41、irst paragraph might mean “_”.A. help B. depend onC. quarrel with D. take care of49. The best title for this passage might be _. A. Going to College B. Where Should I Start C. The Advantage of Starting Work Earlier D. Jumping into Work after High School50. The advantages of starting work right after
42、 high school include the following EXCEPT _. A. saving money B. making sure if you are really ready to work C. getting higher wages D. getting to know if you should go back to school51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in helping you find a suitable job? A. Ideas about jobs gained in high sch
43、ools. B. Experience in work. C. Advice from teachers and parents. D. Internships and volunteering.52. The writer intends the passage for readers who are _. A. high school studentsB. college graduates C. high school graduates D. graduating high school studentsE Force other than damaging winds are als
44、o at work inside tornadoes(龙卷风). Sometimes, as the turning, jumping funnel(漏斗) passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado. The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 p
45、ounds per square inch. However, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by
46、 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds. If windows are op
47、en in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the great inside pressure may cause the building to burst. Unfortunately, heavy rain happens in thunderstorms that later produce
48、 tornadoes. So, people often shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later.第四部分:根据汉语意思完成句子。 (每小题1分, 满分15分)1. 可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。Sadly, although the Amber Room was one of the of the world, it is now .2. 国与国之间争取奥运会承办权的竞争就跟争夺奥运会奖牌一样激烈。There is as much

75、 hunted too much and left in their native land. They also advise people to be educated to know more about animals in the wild. Other experts of Group B think differently. They say that modern zoos are designed very closely to the natural environment. One of their strongest arguments is that certain
76、species, such as the panda from China and the white tiger from India, are not only protected from uncontrolled killing but can give babies under protection and in that way may be saved from dying out. Thats all from me and youre expected to express your opinions on this question next class. 参考答案第一卷: （满分100分） 版权所有：高考资源网()
