Online jobs have opened the door for many people to earn a living (谋生) or make some extra money from the comfort of their homes. This includes teens as well. If you’re looking for such a job, here are some choices you can consider.
Customer Service
If you are 16 years old and over, you have a chance to work with Uhaul as a customer service person. You just need to have a good pair of head-phones and high-speed Internet in order to do this job. Basic pay starts at $7.50an hour.
Sell Items Online
Selling items online is one of the easiest ways to make quick cash. Teens can turn it into a good business by selling things on Bonanza. You need to start sorting through (分类) items at your home that are no longer being used and list them for sale.
Take Surveys
Another easy task teens can do to earn money is to take surveys online. You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. Survey sites like VIP Voices, Swagbucks, Harris Poll, E-Poll, and Paid Viewpoint allow teens to start taking surveys for cash and gift cards. And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English.
Etsy
Do you love to make new things? You can open up an Etsy shop to share your works. Etsy is great for DIYers who can create new products. If you are under 18, you just need a parent who is willing to help manage your shop.
21. What does Bonanza allow teens to do?

We have met, but just not in person. I work in the bank and I usually do my work over the phone and computer. This lady is a borrower of my bank, one of the people I serve. We have had several conversations about her borrowings. She is neither a woman that is of my mother’s age, nor a grandmotherly type of client, because men or women of that age are always very loving and they remind me what I should do. This woman is of my age.
We have never met in person. She lives in New Jersey and I live in California. Her borrowings turned out great, and I didn’t worry even a little bit. To be honest, I think I just worked normally to finish my service. But every couple of months, she would email me a little note, telling me how I made a difference to her life, and how thankful she was for what I had done. I never expected that.
I have a busy and stressful job. Every day, I meet many people and I offer the same service to them. I also keep a working relationship, with many. No one has done that for me. I don’t think I have done something different or helped her much. She just used her time and the most shining part in her heart to send me emails. I saw the beauty inside her.
Everyone can be tired and lonely right now. The same is true of the woman. Take a moment in your day to do one little nice thing for somebody, even if it’s for someone you do not know. You can make a little difference to their life and also to yours. It feds good to say I feel a little love today and that I find myself showing it to somebody else.
24. What can we know about the author and the woman?
A. The woman was bad at managing her money.
B. They usually discussed their work face to face.
C. The author got some useful advice from the woman.
D. They knew each other through the banking business.
25. How did the author probably consider the woman’s emails?
A. Funny. B. Unnecessary.
C. Surprising. D. Embarrassing.
26. What did the author realize in Paragraph 3?
A. He did something special for the woman’s borrowings.
B. The woman was a sincere and thoughtful stranger.
C. He was able and responsible in his work.

A. Be friendly to our workmates.
B. Create a plan to be a better self.
C. Take some time to think about life.
D. Pass on kindness to those around us.
C
Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots,rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter,is called the detector-bot.It’s about 4 meters long,and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions are to collect information from the air,and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degrees panoramic (全景) camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr.Qi Juntong,Chinese Academy of Science,said,“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas,a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot.With its 10-meter-long pipe,people who are trapped in the ruins,will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
28. According to the passage,this robot_______.
A. is carried by the helicopter
B. weighs about 30 kilos
C. hasn’t been put into production so far.
D. is a machine with a length of 10 meters
29. Dr.Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because_______.
A it has more functions
B. it has a unique shape
C. it has more advanced cameras
D. it can work by himself once given the information
30. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 6 refers to_____.
A. a detector B. a camera
C. a rescuer D. a supply
31 The text is mainly about__________.
A. an introduction to the robot
B. what the robot looks like
C. how the robot is made
D. information about earthquakes
D
Bogre Udell,who speaks four languages,met Frederico Andrade,who speaks five,at the Parsons New School in New York City.In 2014,they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world.They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages,and plan to hit 1000 in the coming years.
“When humans lose a language,we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,” said Bogre Udell.Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared.Today,a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker,and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.
Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past,present,and future tenses of their mother languages.Native speakers are asked to recall childhood,share their stories,and discuss their hopes and goals.One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before.Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu,a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language,and he also recorded it.However,priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly.Not long ago,one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.
A lack(缺少) of protection and globalization(全球化) are responsible for diminishing language diversity.For much of the 20th century,governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages.More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived.However,most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute(是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages.
32. What does the author point out in paragraph 2?
A. Language loss is becoming very serious.
B. Few people are worried about language loss.
C. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.
D. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.
33. How do volunteers help protect languages?
A. By writing down native speakers’ stories.
B By learning languages from native speakers.
C. By improving the living conditions of native speakers.
D. By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.
34. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Creating. B. Valuing.
C. Decreasing. D. Encouraging.
35. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Where language loss spreads.
B. What causes language loss.
C. How to deal with language loss.
D. What language loss brings to people.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段话,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I will share the kind act that I met with all of you. We had dozens of restaurant options within a short distance, so we often took advantage of this luxury. On one occasion, I ran out to get some food. I saw the clouds in the distance and decided I could make it there and come back in time, but I was wrong. I was about to leave the restaurant when the rain just poured. The street was flooded within minutes.
But I had my little girl and husband waiting for me back at home, and they were hungry, so I knew I had to make a run for it. The owner of the restaurant tried to encourage me to wait inside, but I insisted that I should go. At this point, he grabbed his umbrella and said, “Okay, let’s go.” Of course I tried to convince him that it wasn’t necessary for him to walk me home, but I knew I wouldn’t prevent him from doing so. So off we went. We quickly realized that the umbrella wouldn’t help much in keeping us dry. He walked me all the way to my apartment building, where he said goodbye and ran back to the restaurant.
Again I encountered this act of kindness when I was making my way to the bus. As I waited at the crosswalk (人行道), it began to rain lightly. Nothing was too bad, but a young guy nearby felt like it was heavy enough to make him step next to me and hold his umbrella above both of us. After a while, the lights turned green. I thanked him and walked across the street.
Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant (怀孕的) and have a two-year-old kid can be challenging sometimes. One spring afternoon, I realized I needed something from the store to finish preparing for dinner. The weather seemed a bit questionable but the store was around the corner so I decided to risk it.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
It wasn’t raining when we left so we didn’t carry my umbrella.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:

And I have hardly anything left to spend . on clothes, right? Do you have to help around the house? Not really. So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money. Mom said, if I did that, I would never have time to do my school work. Has he said, you can have more pocket money when you're fifteen. Well, mom just says you will decide when i'm ready to have more, and I have just got to wait. Maybe you should sit down with her and say, how can I prove that I am old enough to get more? So I should talk to her again? Yes, but don't argue with her, just discuss IT calmly. Okay, thanks. 听第十段材料,回答第17至20题。Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Online jobs have opened the door for many people to earn a living (谋生) or make some extra money from the comfort of their homes. This includes teens as well. If you’re looking for such a job, here are some choices you can consider.
Customer Service

Take Surveys
Another easy task teens can do to earn money is to take surveys online. You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. Survey sites like VIP Voices, Swagbucks, Harris Poll, E-Poll, and Paid Viewpoint allow teens to start taking surveys for cash and gift cards. And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English.
Etsy
Do you love to make new things? You can open up an Etsy shop to share your works. Etsy is great for DIYers who can create new products. If you are under 18, you just need a parent who is willing to help manage your shop.

细节理解题。根据“Sell Items Online”部分第二、三句“Teens can turn it into a good business by selling things on Bonanza. You need to start sorting through (分类) items at your home that are no longer being used and list them for sale. (通过在Bonanza卖东西,青少年可以把它变成一个很好的生意。你需要在家开始分类那些不用的东西并列好出售清单)”可知,Bonanza允许青少年卖自己的旧物品。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Take Surveys”部分第二句“You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. (你不需要任何工作经验来做这件事,13岁就可以开始)”以及最后一句“And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English. (你的意见应该用英语清楚地表达出来)”可知,做调研需要青少年会英语。故选A。

B
We have met, but just not in person. I work in the bank and I usually do my work over the phone and computer. This lady is a borrower of my bank, one of the people I serve. We have had several conversations about her borrowings. She is neither a woman that is of my mother’s age, nor a grandmotherly type of client, because men or women of that age are always very loving and they remind me what I should do. This woman is of my age.
We have never met in person. She lives in New Jersey and I live in California. Her borrowings turned out great, and I didn’t worry even a little bit. To be honest, I think I just worked normally to finish my service. But every couple of months, she would email me a little note, telling me how I made a difference to her life, and how thankful she was for what I had done. I never expected that.
I have a busy and stressful job. Every day, I meet many people and I offer the same service to them. I also keep a working relationship, with many. No one has done that for me. I don’t think I have done something different or helped her much. She just used her time and the most shining part in her heart to send me emails. I saw the beauty inside her.
Everyone can be tired and lonely right now. The same is true of the woman. Take a moment in your day to do one little nice thing for somebody, even if it’s for someone you do not know. You can make a little difference to their life and also to yours. It feds good to say I feel a little love today and that I find myself showing it to somebody else.

C
Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots,rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter,is called the detector-bot.It’s about 4 meters long,and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions are to collect information from the air,and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degrees panoramic (全景) camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr.Qi Juntong,Chinese Academy of Science,said,“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas,a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot.With its 10-meter-long pipe,people who are trapped in the ruins,will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
28. According to the passage,this robot_______.
A. is carried by the helicopter
B. weighs about 30 kilos
C. hasn’t been put into production so far.
D. is a machine with a length of 10 meters
29 Dr.Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because_______.
A. it has more functions
B. it has a unique shape
C. it has more advanced cameras
D. it can work by himself once given the information
30. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 6 refers to_____.
A. a detector B. a camera
C. a rescuer D. a supply
31. The text is mainly about__________.
A. an introduction to the robot
B. what the robot looks like
C. how the robot is made
D. information about earthquakes
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种新型机器人——地震救援机器人的功能和特点,目前已经通过测试,最快明年才能投入生产。
【28题详解】
细节理解题根据最后一段 “Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.”可知,这种机器人最快明年才能投入生产,故C项正确。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the destination information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.”可知,这种机器人最显著的特点是不需要用远程遥控,一旦给它输入信息,它就可以独立工作了,故D项正确。
【30题详解】
指代题。根据画线词前的“As well as a detector that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot”可知,除了发现受害者和检测有毒气体外,这种40厘米长的机器人上还装有一架照相机,这架照相机可以在黑暗中拍摄传送照片,此处为非限定定语从句,which指代的就是先行词a camera,故B项正确。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段中的“Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.”可知,本文介绍了一种新型机器人——地震救援机器人的功能和特点,故A项正确。
D
Bogre Udell,who speaks four languages,met Frederico Andrade,who speaks five,at the Parsons New School in New York City.In 2014,they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world.They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages,and plan to hit 1,000 in the coming years.
“When humans lose a language,we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,” said Bogre Udell.Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared.Today,a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker,and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.
Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past,present,and future tenses of their mother languages.Native speakers are asked to recall childhood,share their stories,and discuss their hopes and goals.One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before.Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu,a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language,and he also recorded it.However,priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly.Not long ago,one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues.
A lack(缺少) of protection and globalization(全球化) are responsible for diminishing language diversity.For much of the 20th century,governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages.More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived.However,most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute(是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages.
32. What does the author point out in paragraph 2?
A. Language loss is becoming very serious.
B. Few people are worried about language loss.
C. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate.
D. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss.
33. How do volunteers help protect languages?
A. By writing down native speakers’ stories.
B. By learning languages from native speakers.
C. By improving the living conditions of native speakers.
D. By videoing native speakers talking in their languages.
34. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Creating. B. Valuing.
C. Decreasing. D. Encouraging.
35. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Where language loss spreads.
B. What causes language loss.
C. How to deal with language loss.
D. What language loss brings to people.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上语言消失严重,一些志愿者试图去记录这些语言,文章还说明了语言消失的原因。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段提及的数据“Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared. Today,a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker,and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.(从1950年到2010年,230种语言消失了。今天,世界上三分之一的语言的使用者不足1000人。每两周就有一种语言随着最后一个使用者而消亡,据说其中50%到90%的语言将在下个世纪消失。)”可知,语言消失现象变得很严重。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past,present,and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood,share their stories,and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu,a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language,and he also recorded it.(维基语言要求40个国家的志愿者拍摄母语人士使用母语的过去时、现在时和将来时的谈话。以英语为母语的人被要求回忆童年,分享他们的故事,讨论他们的希望和目标。一名志愿者在南太平洋的瓦努阿图群岛记录了一种语言,这种语言以前从未被语言专家研究过。另一名志愿者找到了一个会说阿伊努语的人,阿伊努语是日本的一种语言,与其他任何已知的语言都没有关系,他也把它记录了下来。)”可知,志愿者通过视频方式记录本土人所讲的语言,以此来保护语言。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“For much of the 20th century,governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages.

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写两段话,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I will share the kind act that I met with all of you. We had dozens of restaurant options within a short distance, so we often took advantage of this luxury. On one occasion, I ran out to get some food. I saw the clouds in the distance and decided I could make it there and come back in time, but I was wrong. I was about to leave the restaurant when the rain just poured. The street was flooded within minutes.
But I had my little girl and husband waiting for me back at home, and they were hungry, so I knew I had to make a run for it. The owner of the restaurant tried to encourage me to wait inside, but I insisted that I should go. At this point, he grabbed his umbrella and said, “Okay, let’s go.” Of course I tried to convince him that it wasn’t necessary for him to walk me home, but I knew I wouldn’t prevent him from doing so. So off we went. We quickly realized that the umbrella wouldn’t help much in keeping us dry. He walked me all the way to my apartment building, where he said goodbye and ran back to the restaurant.
Again I encountered this act of kindness when I was making my way to the bus. As I waited at the crosswalk (人行道), it began to rain lightly. Nothing was too bad, but a young guy nearby felt like it was heavy enough to make him step next to me and hold his umbrella above both of us. After a while, the lights turned green. I thanked him and walked across the street.
Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant (怀孕的) and have a two-year-old kid can be challenging sometimes. One spring afternoon, I realized I needed something from the store to finish preparing for dinner. The weather seemed a bit questionable but the store was around the corner so I decided to risk it.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
It wasn’t raining when we left so we didn’t carry my umbrella.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
It wasn’t raining when we left so we didn’t carry my umbrella. We quickly crossed the street to buy what we needed in our daily life, chatting happily about the upcoming weekend. We were walking out of the store, bags in hand, when a heavy rain fell suddenly, drenching us in seconds. We wanted to cross the street and get to the shelter of a nearby building, but the traffic lights were red, forcing us to wait. I noticed a young couple watching us from a nearby car. They seemed concerned, and the woman reached for something in the backseat.
As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella. I told her my apartment building was just around the corner, but she insisted that I take it. I refused again, saying it was too much trouble, but she shook her head and said the rain had just started to pour. Without further ado, she handed me the umbrella and got back into the car, her husband driving away slowly. Staring at their retreating car, I was too moved to even express my thanks. I went home with the umbrella, carefully put it away in a secret place, and decided to pay it forward when the opportunity arose. It was a small act of kindness, but it left a lasting impression on me.
