Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also had our GPS packed. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of that area and got us back or track in no time. It made me wonder: Who creates maps in the first place? After some searching online I learned that the people who map out roads, mountains, oceans and other places around the world are called cartographers (制图师). I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found: What does a cartographer do? Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret (诠释) geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the world. Some of these maps are digital (数字的). They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, depend on surveyors (测绘员) for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas. What does it take to be a cartographer? Most cartographers have a bachelor (学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography (制图学), geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science. With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past. How much do cartographers make? The average (平均) yearly salary (薪水) for cartographers is $54, 000. The lowest 10 percent earns (挣钱) less than $32, 000. The top 10 percent earns more than $92, 000. ________ In the U. S., job opportunities (机会) for cartographers are expected to grow. This is because of the increasing use of maps in the army. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites. Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost, I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer! 7．In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to ________. A．prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another place B．show that it is important to pack snacks for a trip C．provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is important D．show that the GPS is not always reliable (可靠的) 8．Surveyors can do all these following things except ________. A．do some measuring B．do some mapping C．collect information D．do ground surveys 9．Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $37, 500.

However, photos taken by astrophotographers(天文摄影师) give people opportunities to admire the stars. Being a full-time astrophotographer, Zhang Jingyi, 27, grew up being an astronomy enthusiast(爱好者). When being asked why she chose this career, Zhang said, “We all dream of what it is like to live on planets so far from us. Isn’t it cool?” As a result of the fast development of China’s space industry, Zhang started to shoot(拍摄) rocket launching(发射) moments in recent years. “I basically followed the construction of the Tiangong space station with my camera.” She said, adding that every launch has given her a strong sense of achievement. Zhang believes that her photos are artworks that money cannot buy. “Some photographers may sell their works —some photos even reach six digits(六位数),” Zhang said, “For me, I would be satisfied if people simply like my work.” As an influencer on Sina Weibo with more than 2.5 million followers, Zhang also shares videos that she’s filmed, giving her audience a more authentic(真实的) impression of her work. Zhang said that an astrophotographer needs to be devoted to their career. For example, when taking photos of the stars, they have to film them on plateaus(高原) which are freezing at night. “These hardships are nothing if you truly love what you do,” Zhang said. Gaining experience is also important. “There isn’t a detailed guidebook for creating art,” Zhang said, “You have to learn from your own works. Gradually, you can add personal thoughts into the filming process and witness your work improving.” 12．What led Zhang to become an astrophotographer? A．Her curiosity about space. B．A beautiful photo she saw on Weibo. C．Fewer chances for citizens to admire the stars. D．The development of China’s space industry. 13．What did Zhang begin to shoot in recent years? A．People.

D．The social influence they have. 15．What does Zhang think is necessary for a successful astrophotographer? A．Expensive equipment. B．A detailed guidebook. C．Devotion and learning ability. D．A formal education in photography. 16．What might be the best title of the passage? A．Achieve her dreams through cameras B．Enjoy the beauty of the sky C．How to create art D．Photos are valuable works of art （23-24九年级下·江苏泰州·阶段练习） Whenever I tell people that I teach English at the Berlin(柏林) Zoo, I almost always get a questioning look because of my job. Behind it, the person is trying to find out who exactly I teach ... the animals? Since June 2017, right before the arrival of the two new giant pandas, Meng Meng and Jiao Qing, I have been helping the panda keepers at the zoo to feel more comfortable and confident speaking English. And why do they need English? Who do they speak English with? Not the pandas, even though the language that is used for the medical training instructions is actually English. They talk to the crowd of international visitors and to visiting Chinese zookeepers who often come to check on the pandas, which are on loan (租借) from China. As you know, English is widely spoken in the world while German isn’t. They also need to be ready to give interviews in English with international reporters. This is why they need an English trainer. So what are they learning? Basically, how to describe a panda’s life. And here’s what I’ve learned from them so far: Note 1: Pandas eat bamboo, lots of bamboo! They can eat up to 30 kilograms a day, and when they’re not eating, they’re sleeping. Note 2: The two of them live in separate enclosures at the zoo because that is how they live in nature. Note 3: Giant pandas come from the cool, foggy mountains of south-western China. Note 4: They are endangered, with fewer than 2,000 of them living in the wild today. It’s been an honor to watch the panda program develop and to see the pandas get used to their new home. As a little girl, I wanted to be a zookeeper when I grew up. Now, I’m living out that dream indirectly by helping the panda keepers do their job in English. 17．What might people think of the writer’s job? A．Meaningless. B．Unusual. C．Common.

His words and beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world. Question 1: How did you become a National Geographic photographer? My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on. Question 2: __________________________________________ To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don’t have. It’s not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.

However, most visitors just visit for a day. The tourism officers wanted more people to stay longer, so they decided to hire a person to live on an island and write about the area. “We are looking for someone to tell the stories of the Great Barrier Reef, and we have come up with what we think is the dream job,” explained Anthony Hayes, the Chief Executive of Tourism in Queensland. They posted the job on their website and waited for replies. In England, Ben Southall was looking online. He saw the job posting. It sounded too good to be true. He immediately made a video about himself. He loved to travel. He described his 40, 000-mile (64, 374-kilometer) trip around Africa. He was a good writer and an excellent swimmer, he explained. In short, he was the perfect job applicant. Then he submitted his application and hoped for the best. In Australia, the tourism officers in Queensland were very busy. They received 35, 000 applications from people all over the world. They chose 15 top applicants—including Southall. Then they invited these applicants to Australia. The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience. At the end of the four days, they chose the best applicant: Ben Southall. This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience. From his first day at work to his last, he explored the islands. He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs. He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants. “Every day was a different experience: jet skiing, staying in five-star resorts, diving, and then writing about it.” Meanwhile, people were reading his blogs all over the world. It wasn’t all fun, however. Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒的) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures. However, in the last week, his luck came to an end. A poisonous jellyfish stung him. Luckily, he recovered and was able to finish his work. In the end, was this the perfect job? Yes, but Southall discovered that it was extremely hard work. He was under a lot of pressure to write about all his adventures. He had to post videos and photos every day. These videos and blogs attracted more people to the island. So, Ben Southall swam, dived, had a good time, and did a good job. In fact, he had such a good time that he decided to stay in Australia. 27．Why did Southall think he was the right person for the job? A．He had experience working as a tourism officer. B．He already traveled thousands of miles across Australia. C．He knew how to make a video about his traveling experience.

A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 30．Which of the following words can best describe Southall’s work? A．Comfortable and perfect. B．Relaxing but difficult. C．Attractive but dangerous.

Unluckily, many pet owners in China experience the heartbreak of losing their beloved pets. The reasons for pets going missing can be different such as running away because of fear or anxiety, getting lost while on walks, or being stolen for illegal (非法的) pet trade. This has given rise to a new industry of “pet detectives” who specialize (专营) in finding and saving lost pets and reuniting them with their owners. In recent years, the pet detective industry has appeared as a new job in China’s big cities. With the growing number of pet owners, there has been an increase in need for professionals who can help locate (确定位置) lost pets. Most pet detectives work alone or with just a few partners and can charge between 3,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per case depending on the difficulty of the search. Pet detective Yan Zhiyong from Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province is one such professional who, after receiving an order, goes to the scene with one to two partners equipped with headlamps, torches (电筒), and other tools necessary for locating missing pets. The rise of this industry shows the importance that pets hold in Chinese households and how far owners are willing to go to ensure their beloved “fur children” are safe and healthy. Pet detective work is not without its challenges. These professionals must be prepared to work long hours, often in difficult conditions, to search for lost pets. They may have to go through strange neighborhoods or areas, and deal with uncooperative or unfriendly people who are not interested in this case. Moreover, pet detectives must be skilled at understanding animals’ behavior and the practical ways in order to locate missing pets. Although there’re many challenges, the need for pet detective services continues to grow in China as more and more pet owners seek help in finding their beloved “fur children”. 31．From passage 1, we can know that many pet owners in China feel sad because ________. A．their “fur children” get lost B．it’s expensive to search for their lost pets C．others tell them their pets might be stolen D．their pets will run away from home one day 32．According to the passage, what can be the cause of the appearance of a new industry? A．The difficulty of the job itself. B．The requirement of working skills. C．The increase of customers’ needs. D．The high payment from customers. 33．The following paragraph can best go after ________. In the field of pet detection, every case is personal. It’not just about solving a mystery. it’s about realizing a family’s completeness, about bringing home a piece of someone’s heart. These pet detectives don’t carry guns, they carry the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and love in their hearts. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 34．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Travel Guide B．Amazing things C．World History D．Career development （2024·江苏扬州·一模）As new technology is introduced, there are many who worry about its influence on our jobs. It is believed that with the rise of robotics and artificial intelligence, many people’s jobs are likely to be lost to automation (自动化). Automation in the work place is nothing new. Machines have been doing boring and repetitive tasks for us for years. In fact, the International Federation of Robotics says that in manufacturing (制造业) there are now 74 robots per 10,000 employees (员工). That has risen from 66 in 2015. General Manager of a tech firm Nuance, Bernard Louvat, believes that “AI is a big threat to low-skilled jobs, no question.” He also thinks that AI chatbots will replace (取代) most call centre workers within a few years. And that’s just one industry. A recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, says that nearly two thirds of all jobs could have at least 30% of their activities automated by 2030. However, McKinsey also believes that this new technology will also “create new jobs that do not exist today, much as technologies in the past have done.” “It’s an evolution (演化) of work,” says Ian Barkin, a robotic process automation expert. As low-skilled jobs are taken on by AI, people will need to learn new skills. “This calls on us to focus on up-skilling. Technology can lead to job reductions but it doesn’t have to,” says Barkin. Whether or not robotics and AI will leave us all jobless remains to be seen. Views on the subject are mixed. Increased automation could indeed lead to a loss of some jobs, but at the same time is likely to create many more as new skills are required. Will they balance out? I’ll get my AI assistant to get back to you on that one. 35．According to Paragraph.1, what do many people worry about? A．Rising cost of living. B．Increase in job satisfaction. C．Reduction in job chances. D．Improvement in skill requirements. 36．According to Bernard Louvat, who may meet the greatest challenge of AI? A．Engineers. B．Drivers. C．Scientists. D．Lawyers. 37．Which of the following is McKinsey’s opinion? A．AI has little influence on low-skilled industries. B．We should pay attention to improving our skills. C．All jobs could have at least 30% of their activities automated by 2030. D．AI presents challenges to low-skilled jobs, but it also creates new jobs. 38．What is the best title for the passage? A．Will robots create more jobs? B．Robots take on our jobs. C．Will robots cost us our jobs? D．Robots change our jobs. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文介绍了一些兼职工作的信息。 1．细节理解题。根据第二个表格“CRAB FISHERMAN”中提到“These are often taken up by college students”可知大学生经常从事的工作是Crab fisherman。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“If you are a child at heart and crazy about toys”和“you can make lots of money by designing creative toys.”可知如果你喜欢玩具，那么这份工作就可以通过设计一些有创意的玩具来赚钱。跟玩具和创作有关的，故选C。 3．推理判断题。本文讲述的是一些兼职工作的信息，再结合选项可知，可从青年杂志中读到。故选B。 4．D 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三个人的工作情况。 4．细节理解题。根据第一个框中的“JOAN: I work on Saturdays and in the school holidays.”可知，Joan在周六和学校假期工作。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第二个框中的“The tourists love the boat trip”可知，Justin说游客喜欢乘船旅行。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第三个框中的“The best thing is visiting different places.”可知，Paul说他的工作最棒的地方是参观不同的地方。故选B。 7．C 8．B 9．A 10．A 11．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过描述自己的走错路的经历来强调制图员工作的重要性，同时还介绍了制图员的资质要求、工作内容、薪资待遇和就业前景等方面。 7．细节理解题。根据“we took a wrong turn.
