A
Chances
I really love my job because I enjoy
working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job I
also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never
have that sort of career (职业).
I wasn’t an excellent student because I
didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do
and found I didn’t have much to offer.
I then found myself a job, looking after
two little girls, It wasn’t too bad at first. But the
problems began when I greed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had
to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra
hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t
often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too
many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the
children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my
situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I
would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me
to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted
for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the
family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall
always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a
career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

A. was paid for extra work
B. often worked long hours

author leave her first job?

course.

Good tool design is important in the
prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require
less force to operate them and prevent awkward (别扭的) hand
positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows (肘) next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder
and arm.
Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented
or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:
●
power
tools rather than having to use muscle (肌肉) power
●
tools
with specially designed handles that allow the wrist (手腕) to keep straight (See Figure 1). This means that
hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were
hanging relaxed at a person’s side
Figure 1. Bend the tool, not the wrist
●
tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This
means having a selection of sizes—remember
that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large
hand may be awkward for someone with very small hand. This is a particularly
important consideration for women wh?? May
use tools originally designed for men
●
tools
that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handle do
not have sharp edges or a small surface area
60. What is the
best title for the passage?
A.
Good
Tool Design for Women
B.
Importance
of Good Tool Design
C.
Tool
Design and Prevention of Injuries
D. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection
61. Which of the
following describes a well-designed tool?
A.
It’s
kept close to the body.
B.
It
fully uses muscle power.
C.
It
makes users feel relaxed.
D. It’s operated with less force.
62. What is
Figure I used to show?
A.
The
effective use of the tool.
B.
The
way of operating the tool.
C.
The
proper design of the handle.
D. The purpose of bending the wrist.
63. In choosing
tools for women, _____ of the handle is the most important.
A.
the
size
B.
the
edge
C.

How could we possibly think that
keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments—mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are
concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “Collections” of interesting
“things” rather than protective habitats (栖息地). Zoos
teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from
their natural homes.
Zoos claim (声称) to educate people and save endangered species (物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned
anything meaningful about the animals’ natural
behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages,
and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet,
and natural range (分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom
noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in
small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical
exercise, This results in unusual and self-destructive
behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study
of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals
kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22
percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and
bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of
unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in
zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of
endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in
their being sent back to the wild, Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding
programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out, In
fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers, Haven’t we seen
enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save
endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons
people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that
work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
64. How would
the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
A.
Dangerous.
B.
Unhappy.
C.
Natural.
D. Easy.
65. In the state of zoochosis,
animals _____.
A.
remain
in cages
B.
behave
strangely
C.
attack
other animals
D. enjoy moving around
66. What does
the author try to argue in the passage?
A.
Zoos
are not worth the public support.
B.
Zoos
fail in their attempt to save animals.
C.
Zoos
should treat animals as human beings.
D. Zoos use animals as a means of
entertainment.
67. The author
tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.
A.
pointing
out the faults in what zoos do
B.
using
evidence he has collected at zoos
C.
questioning
the way animals are protected
D. discussing the advantages of natural
habitats
68. Although he
argues against zoos, the author would still agree that ______.
A.
zoos have to keep animals in small cages.
B.
Most
animals in zoos are endangered species
C.
Some
endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from
their habitats
D
Language as a System of Symbols
Of all systems of symbols (符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been
pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for
anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual (相互的) dependency, to let the various noises that they can
produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically
stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of
agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between
the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be
symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a
thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being
hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the
culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at
first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they
seem except then we take special pains to think about the subject.
Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all
have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary
connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are
unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things. And why can’t
they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most
strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they
can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud
enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs
because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently (内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.
69. Language is
a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ______.
A.
have
made use of language for centuries
B.
use
our nervous systems to support language
C.
have
made various noises stand for any events
D. can make anything stand for anything by
agreement
70. What can we
conclude from Paragraph 2?
A.
Different
noises may mean different things.
B.
Our
culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C.
The
language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D. Our social positions determine the way we
are dressed.
71. In Paragraph
3, “take special pains” probably means “______”.
A. try very hard B. take our time C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful
72. The example
of the little boy is used to show that _______.
A.
adults
often learn from their young
B.
“pig”
is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C.
words
are not connected with the things they stand for
D. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how
language works
