12、beach of Norfolk. Weve been going there as a family for the last six yearsthe kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches, picnics and ice cream.

17、om, come here! Theres a lady here my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “Its okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, Im Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I ans
18、wered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “Its the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. Im just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boys hand and left.My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking
19、 to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf ( 侏 儒 ). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.I didnt realize how short I was
20、until I started school. Some kids joked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life
21、. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.Im 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as Ive grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind
22、 myself, “Look what else I have a great family, nice friends.”Its the childrens questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions.

She thinks people should be treated equally. C With the internet and smartphones, people have immediate acces
26、s to news from all over the world. It sounds like good thing, but can there ever be too much of it?While access to news is important, the news itself is usually bad. This makes some sense. Not many people would buy a newspaper with headlines like, “Everything is great!” or, “The sky is more blue tod
27、ay than yesterday.”Yet there is a problem that comes from the amount of news were taking in. People feel increased anxiety and stress because they get so much negative information.Why is this happening? As social animals, humans are empathetic(感同身受的) and compassionate(同情) toward each other. This is
28、great for our communities, but when we read about people suffering in a faraway place, we feel heartbroken. This wonderful thing about humans instead becomes part of the problem.“Theres actually, for many people, physical pain in wanting to help一our heart goes out to them,” US Professor Charles Figl
29、ey, a mental health specialist, told National Public Radio. He calls it “bad-news burnout (倦怠).” Others call it “the hope gap”, which refers to the phenomenon that we feel surrounded by problems.Before this news stresses you out, take a deep breath, because you can take control of the situation righ
30、t now. The first step is to take Figleys advice and turn off the news. “We cant obviously run away and hide forever, but yes, we do need to take breaks,” he said.Next, change the scenery. Leave the room where you get news and negative information. Better yet, go for a walk. Dont let news into the pa
31、rts of your life that are meant for socializing or relaxing. “Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and dont get so worked up about things,” Irish actor Kenneth Charles Branagh told US-based Interview Magazine.Life is short and your time is valuable. Make more time for friends, family
32、 and hobbies. You dont need to spend it worrying about things you cant control. Instead, direct your energy toward the things you can change.28. What does the word “problem” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. People are faced with too much information.B. People get anxious with so much negative news.C. Ther
33、e is too little good news in newspapers.D. Fake news is having an impact on peoples lives.29. The author quotes Figleys words in Paragraph 5 mainly to_.A. explain how people are affected by bad news.B. show that its impossible to solve all problems.C. prove that bad news can cause illnesses. D. expl
34、ain the benefits of human compassion.30. What does the author suggest people do with the stress caused by negative information?A. Avoid reading any bad news. B. Talk to a close friend.C. Find a relaxing environment. D. Find some good news to read.31. The underlined phrase “worked up” in the second t
35、o last paragraph probably means_.A. surprised B. confused C. optimistic D. upsetDIn todays rapidly changing workplace and emerging gig economy (零工经济), each year a growing number of top employers -from Google to IBM-are desperately trying to employ graduates to fill open positions. Though colleges co
36、ntribute millions of smart graduates to the market each year, employers still find it hard to employ the persons meeting their requirements. According to a recent Brookings study, we re facing an estimated 55 million job openings by 2020 without the workforce to fill them.There is clearly a disconne
37、ct between what schools are offering and what employers need, and the skills gap continues to grow as a result. To fix this, schools need to deliver more career (职业) pathways to more students with the aid of network technology, at an earlier age. All studentswhether they plan to continue their educa
38、tion after high school graduation or not-should begin exploring pathways and developing the skills needed for in-demand careers during middle and high school.Along with the expansion of career education to more students, we need to reconsider how to deliver it most efficiently and effectively. It is
39、 not economically viable, or necessary, to build large training centers focused on specific career pathways in each school district. Instead, we can develop a national infrastructure(基础设施) at a lower price that enables every high school student to have access to career training through online learni
40、ng and local or regional training opportunities. Thanks to new technologies, students are able to learn technical skills online, from anywhere. For example, we can provide students with exposure to industry experts through live teaching sessions, and use virtual reality to offer 3-D anatomy (解剖) and
41、 physiologytools to aid in health care education.As the workforce continues to develop, its up to educators to prepare students for it. By applying education technology to a national infrastructure, more students will have a head start to succeed in a rewarding career. And more employers will find e
42、mployees with the skills they need. For the sake of students and the national economy, its time for career education to catch up with the demands of todays workforce. 32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. A variety of jobs have disappeared in the business world. B. Gig economy
43、has become a new trend in todays business.C. Schools fail to keep pace with workforce demands. D. Graduates are desperately eager to work for big companies. 33. What are the schools advised to do according to the text? A. To expand career education at secondary education stage. B. To improve student
44、s academic performance. C. To raise students awareness of job security. D. To encourage more students to go to college. 34. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Reliable. B. Comparable. C. Profitable. D. Practicable. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Natio
45、nal Infrastructure Vital to Economic Growth B. Education Technology Key to Career Readiness C. Online Learning Academically Beneficial to Students D. College Education Fundamental to Success 第二节 （共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。IPads vs. TextbooksWhat if you could have your
46、 whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25 million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 36 To begin with, iPads are less expensive.
47、Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 37 Schools dont have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated. 38 Students usually have varied classes, which results in varied textbooks.
