Velez-Liendo’s earliest memories are of playing in the lowland forests near her village in southeastern Bolivia as a child — “in bare feet, just searching for insects”. When her family moved to Oruro, she took to chasing reptiles (爬行动物), continuing her “appreciation of nature”. While earning her undergraduate degree, Velez-Liendo had her heart set on studying gorillas in Rwanda — until she met an Andean bear in Carrasco National Park.
Velez-Liendo then spent almost three years traveling the entire eastern area of the Bolivian Andes to produce the first national assessment of Andean bears. She identified the best places to invest in protecting or restoring Andean bear habitat and zeroed in on the dry forested valleys of Tarija. But only 6 percent of the original dry forest was left, distributed in a few regions in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. And Andean bears in Tarija are acknowledged as extinct.
In 2016, Velez-Liendo set up camera traps to see if any bears were still in Tarija. In February 2017, a photo of a mother and cub (幼崽) brought hope. Though Tarija’s forests were promising bear habitat, local villagers killed bears for the sake of their farm animals and crops. When another community showed her a group of brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she hatched an idea.
Velez-Liendo asked an expert who had experience teaching beekeeping to train locals in how to care for hives (蜂箱), obtain honey and market it for sale to increase their incomes. In exchange, community members agreed to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. Velez-Liendo also taught locals how to collect data and help monitor the ecosystem. Today, over 60 Andean bears wander through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase from the five bears documented in 2017.
Velez-Liendo wants to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. “Engaging more rural communities can provide ‘stepping stones’ of habitat to connect isolated bear populations,” she says. “Conservation comes from the communities that live with this biodiversity. I think that’s how conservation is changing: from the hands of biologists to the hands of people.”
4. What can Velez-Liendo be described as while growing up?
A. A forest hunter. B. An wildlife lover.
C. A gorilla expert. D. A park-goer.
5. What might account for Andean bears’ situation according to Velez-Liendo?
A. The decline of their habitat.
B. The influence of rough weather.
C. The lack of stable financial support.
D. The bad cooperation among countries.
6. How did Velez-Liendo promote bear conservation?
A. By making stricter laws.
B. By educating local people.
C. By establishing bear reserves.
D. By increasing farmers’ income.
7. What message does Velez-Liendo want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. It’s never too late to mend. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C More logs make a bigger fire. D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
C
Perfume (香味;香水) has held a special place in human history. The traditional making process involves collecting raw materials, producing oils, mixing, aging and quality control. For centuries, perfumers have merely relied on their own senses. But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology (神经技术).
Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects.
Researcher Hugo Ferreira is trying to build a database of neuroscents. “With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories.”
Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system. Messages from scent receptors are sent through the olfactory bulb to different brain areas that control everything from memory or thirst to stress reactions. Olfaction is the most diverse sense with many different receptors. It’s estimated that there are about 400 different olfactory receptor gene families. Among other things these various connections may explain how we can “smell fear, or victory.”
L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume. Another perfume from Givenchy, a French luxury fashion and perfume house, has been a bestseller for years, which includes a special substance chosen after biometric research.
However, perfume writer Katie Puckrik says she’d like to “design her own perfume”. “Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves,” she says.
8. How can neurotechnology function in the perfume-making process?
A. By distinguishing one scent from the other.
B. By exploring the best way to obtain special oil.
C. By finding the scents most appealing to people.
D. By offering perfumers information of materials.
9. What does Ferreira want to indicate in paragraph 3?
A. The close connection among our senses.
B. The great complexity of the olfactory system.
C. The relationship between emotion and memory.
D. The significance of having a good imagination.
10. Why are the perfume brands mentioned in the text?
A. To show applications of neurotechnology.
B To collect more data for biometric research.
C. To illustrate the fierce competition between them.
D. To stress their dominance in the perfume industry.
11. What is Katie Puckrik’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
D
For generations, we’ve spent the first third of our lives acquiring the college degrees we need to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees; it’ll be about job skills.
According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.
In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.
Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.
When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These too are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace.
12. How does technology influence the jobs?
A. It calls for higher demands for degrees. B. It makes many jobs less challenging.
C It reduces their dependence on degrees. D. It connects them with degrees closely.
13. What does the underlined word “influx” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Recovery. C. Decline. D. Increase.
14. What will future employers value most concerning their staff?
A. Their traditional technical skills. B. Their continuous learning abilities.
C. Their certification-based education. D. Their desire to start their own business
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Skills Are Different From Degrees B. Degrees Will Be More Competitive
C. Degrees Will Shape the Future of Work D. Skills Are More Vital for Future Work

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We love our pets. In fact, for most people they are more than me re pets and become more like family members. It is likely then that their owners, at some point, are going to want photographs of their furry friends. However, pet photography presents its own special problems. ____16____ If you’re thinking of trying pet photography, here are a few pointers to get you started.
Find out about your subject’s personality and habits. Where does it nod off if the sun is out? What is its favourite toy? ____17____ It’s also worth spending a little time getting to know the animal yourself. Cats, dogs, horses, they all have personality, and you need to ensure they are comfortable being around you, and you around them.
____18____ If the pet is comfortable with you, and if it isn’t too nervous, fill the frame with the pet’s face. Get the eyes nice and sharp. Just like humans, this is a natural point of focus, although focusing on the nose or mouth of a dog or cat can also make for an interesting image in its own right.
See the world from pets’ perspective. If you photograph a pet while you’re standing up, all you’re going to see is the top of their head and their backs, not what you want for a portrait. Get down to their eye level. Try pre-focusing your camera and just holding it at ground level so you can look up at the pet. ____19____.
Bring a flash with the owner’s permission. While greeting or playing with a new pet, fire a couple of test flashes away from them to see their reaction. In daylight particularly, they never seem to mind the flash at all. ____20____.
A. Think about getting in close to your subject.
B. It’s worth a try just for a new angle on things.
C. Animals can be unpredictable, lazy, aggressive and excitable.
D. A good photograph focuses on the subject and not the background.
E. If they do mind, then stick with natural light and use a white reflector.
F. The more you shoot, the greater your chances of hitting that perfect shot!
G. Take time to chat with the owner and observe your subject to gain some insight.

It was a sunny day. Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today.
Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat.
So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced.

Velez-Liendo’s earliest memories are of playing in the lowland forests near her village in southeastern Bolivia as a child — “in bare feet, just searching for insects”. When her family moved to Oruro, she took to chasing reptiles (爬行动物), continuing her “appreciation of nature”. While earning her undergraduate degree, Velez-Liendo had her heart set on studying gorillas in Rwanda — until she met an Andean bear in Carrasco National Park.
Velez-Liendo then spent almost three years traveling the entire eastern area of the Bolivian Andes to produce the first national assessment of Andean bears. She identified the best places to invest in protecting or restoring Andean bear habitat and zeroed in on the dry forested valleys of Tarija. But only 6 percent of the original dry forest was left, distributed in a few regions in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. And Andean bears in Tarija are acknowledged as extinct.
In 2016, Velez-Liendo set up camera traps to see if any bears were still in Tarija. In February 2017, a photo of a mother and cub (幼崽) brought hope. Though Tarija’s forests were promising bear habitat, local villagers killed bears for the sake of their farm animals and crops. When another community showed her a group of brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she hatched an idea.
Velez-Liendo asked an expert who had experience teaching beekeeping to train locals in how to care for hives (蜂箱), obtain honey and market it for sale to increase their incomes. In exchange, community members agreed to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. Velez-Liendo also taught locals how to collect data and help monitor the ecosystem. Today, over 60 Andean bears wander through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase from the five bears documented in 2017.
Velez-Liendo wants to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. “Engaging more rural communities can provide ‘stepping stones’ of habitat to connect isolated bear populations,” she says. “Conservation comes from the communities that live with this biodiversity. I think that’s how conservation is changing: from the hands of biologists to the hands of people.”
4. What can Velez-Liendo be described as while growing up?
A. A forest hunter. B. An wildlife lover.
C. A gorilla expert. D. A park-goer.
5. What might account for Andean bears’ situation according to Velez-Liendo?
A. The decline of their habitat.
B. The influence of rough weather.
C. The lack of stable financial support.
D. The bad cooperation among countries.
6. How did Velez-Liendo promote bear conservation?
A. By making stricter laws.
B. By educating local people.
C. By establishing bear reserves.
D. By increasing farmers’ income.
7. What message does Velez-Liendo want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. It’s never too late to mend. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C. More logs make a bigger fire. D. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Velez-Liendo’s earliest memories are of playing in the lowland forests near her village in southeastern Bolivia as a child — ‘in bare feet, just searching for insects’. When her family moved to Oruro, she took to chasing reptiles (爬行动物), continuing her ‘appreciation of nature’. While earning her undergraduate degree, Velez-Liendo had her heart set on studying gorillas in Rwanda — until she met an Andean bear in Carrasco National Park. (Velez-Liendo最早的记忆是小时候在玻利维亚东南部村庄附近的低地森林里玩耍——‘光着脚,只是寻找昆虫’。当她的家人搬到奥鲁罗后,她开始追逐爬行动物,继续她的‘欣赏自然’。在攻读本科学位期间,Velez-Liendo一心想去卢旺达研究大猩猩,直到她在卡拉斯科国家公园遇到了一只安第斯熊。)”可知,在成长过程中,Velez-Liendo是野生动物爱好者。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“She identified the best places to invest in protecting or restoring Andean bear habitat and zeroed in on the dry forested valleys of Tarija. But only 6 percent of the original dry forest was left, distributed in a few regions in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. And Andean bears in Tarija are acknowledged as extinct. (她确定了投资保护或恢复安第斯熊栖息地的最佳地点,并将重点放在了塔里亚干燥的森林山谷。但只有6%的原始干燥森林被保留下来,分布在厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和玻利维亚的几个地区。塔里亚的安第斯熊被认为已经灭绝。)”可知,根据Velez-Liendo的说法可以推知,安第斯熊的栖息地在减少。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Velez-Liendo asked an expert who had experience teaching beekeeping to train locals in how to care for hives (蜂箱), obtain honey and market it for sale to increase their incomes. In exchange, community members agreed to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. (Velez-Liendo请了一位有养蜂经验的专家来培训当地人如何照料蜂箱、获取蜂蜜并将其出售以增加收入。作为交换,社区成员同意保护森林,不伤害安第斯熊。)”可知,Velez-Liendo通过增加农民收入来促进熊的保护。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Velez-Liendo所说“Engaging more rural communities can provide ‘stepping stones’ of habitat to connect isolated bear populations (让更多的农村社区参与进来,可以为与世隔绝的熊群提供栖息地的‘垫脚石’。)”以及“Conservation comes from the communities that live with this biodiversity. I think that’s how conservation is changing: from the hands of biologists to the hands of people. (保护来自与这种生物多样性共存的社区。我认为这就是保护正在发生的变化:从生物学家的手中到普通民众的手中。)”可知,Velez-Liendo想表达柴多火焰高,人多力量大。故选C项。

Perfume (香味;香水) has held a special place in human history. The traditional making process involves collecting raw materials, producing oils, mixing, aging and quality control. For centuries, perfumers have merely relied on their own senses. But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology (神经技术).
Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects.
Researcher Hugo Ferreira is trying to build a database of neuroscents. “With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories.”
Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system. Messages from scent receptors are sent through the olfactory bulb to different brain areas that control everything from memory or thirst to stress reactions. Olfaction is the most diverse sense with many different receptors. It’s estimated that there are about 400 different olfactory receptor gene families. Among other things these various connections may explain how we can “smell fear, or victory.”
L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume. Another perfume from Givenchy, a French luxury fashion and perfume house, has been a bestseller for years, which includes a special substance chosen after biometric research.
However, perfume writer Katie Puckrik says she’d like to “design her own perfume”. “Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves,” she says.
8. How can neurotechnology function in the perfume-making process?
A. By distinguishing one scent from the other.
B. By exploring the best way to obtain special oil.
C. By finding the scents most appealing to people.
D. By offering perfumers information of materials.
9. What does Ferreira want to indicate in paragraph 3?
A. The close connection among our senses.
B. The great complexity of the olfactory system.
C. The relationship between emotion and memory.
D. The significance of having a good imagination.
10. Why are the perfume brands mentioned in the text?
A. To show applications of neurotechnology.
B. To collect more data for biometric research.
C. To illustrate the fierce competition between them.
D. To stress their dominance in the perfume industry.
11. What is Katie Puckrik’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种通过寻找最吸引人的气味在香水制作过程中发挥作用的神经技术。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“ But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology ( 神经技术 ).(但现在,现代调香师开始把目光投向鼻子之外。相反,他们转向了神经技术。)”和第二段“Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects. (香水现在可以被设计成使用生物特征测量显示的神经官能症来刺激情绪反应,即使用生物数据来分析人类反应,以帮助激发不同的积极情绪,如平静、快乐或嗜睡。神经技术还可以帮助调香师分析这些神经官能症的化学成分,并找到可以产生类似或增强效果的原材料的新组合。)”可知,神经技术通过寻找最吸引人的气味在香水制作过程中发挥作用。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Ferreira所说“With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories. (有了视觉和听觉,你可以想象所爱之人的脸或最喜欢的曲调。很难想象一种气味,尽管它能激发一系列的情绪和记忆。)”以及第四段中“Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system.( Ferreira解释说,这是由于嗅觉系统的结构。)”等内容可知,Ferreira想在第三段说明嗅觉系统的复杂性。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume.

(法国跨国个人护理公司欧莱雅与神经技术公司Emotiv合作,创造了一种气味选择‘体验’。2023年,某些商店的购物者使用一种设备来发现哪些气味吸引了他们。到目前为止的结果显示,使用该设备的客户中有95%找到了合适的香水。法国奢侈时尚和香水品牌纪梵希的另一款香水多年来一直是畅销品,其中包括一种经过生物识别研究选择的特殊物质。)”可知,提到了香水品牌是为了展示神经技术的应用。故选A项。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Katie Puckrik所说“Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves.(把神奇留给艺术家吧。为什么我们需要电脑来告诉我们鼻子已经知道的东西?偶然发现一种新的喜欢的气味是我们应该允许自己享受的难得的优雅时刻。)”可知,Katie Puckrik对这项新技术的态度是消极的。故选D项。

For generations, we’ve spent the first third of our lives acquiring the college degrees we need to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees; it’ll be about job skills.
According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.
In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.
Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.
When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These too are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace.
12. How does technology influence the jobs?
A. It calls for higher demands for degrees. B. It makes many jobs less challenging.
C. It reduces their dependence on degrees. D. It connects them with degrees closely.
13. What does the underlined word “influx” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Recovery. C. Decline. D. Increase.
14. What will future employers value most concerning their staff?
A. Their traditional technical skills. B. Their continuous learning abilities.
C. Their certification-based education. D. Their desire to start their own business
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Skills Are Different From Degrees B. Degrees Will Be More Competitive
C. Degrees Will Shape the Future of Work D. Skills Are More Vital for Future Work
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述技能(如专业的工作技能、应变技巧和学习能力)在未来的工作中更重要。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.(这些工作需要具有相关技能的人才,重要的是,即使没有大学学位,这些技能也可以学习)”可推断,科技降低了工作对学历的依赖,突出技能的重要性。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前句“This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs.(这意味着新型数字化工作将迅速增加)”中的“a quick rise”可推断,画线词所在句意为:根据世界经济论坛的《未来工作报告》,数据和人工智能经济领域的前沿职位将迅速涌入,工程、云计算和产品开发领域也将出现新职位,influx的意思与Increase(增加)最为接近。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.(近年来,一些公司已经开始关注员工的持续学习——这种趋势将变得更加强烈)”及最后一段“Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace.(无论如何,拥有相关技能的终身学习者在工作场所将会更受欢迎)”可知,未来的雇主会更看重员工的持续学习的能力。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段提出的论点“However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees; it’ll be about job skills.(然而,未来的工作将不再是大学学位;这是关于工作技能的)”及之后的具体论证可知,文章主要论述技能(如专业的工作技能、应变技巧和学习能力)在未来的工作中更重要,D项“技能对未来工作更为重要”适合做文章标题。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We love our pets. In fact, for most people they are more than me re pets and become more like family members. It is likely then that their owners, at some point, are going to want photographs of their furry friends. However, pet photography presents its own special problems. ____16____ If you’re thinking of trying pet photography, here are a few pointers to get you started.
Find out about your subject’s personality and habits. Where does it nod off if the sun is out? What is its favourite toy? ____17____ It’s also worth spending a little time getting to know the animal yourself. Cats, dogs, horses, they all have personality, and you need to ensure they are comfortable being around you, and you around them.
____18____ If the pet is comfortable with you, and if it isn’t too nervous, fill the frame with the pet’s face. Get the eyes nice and sharp. Just like humans, this is a natural point of focus, although focusing on the nose or mouth of a dog or cat can also make for an interesting image in its own right.
See the world from pets’ perspective. If you photograph a pet while you’re standing up, all you’re going to see is the top of their head and their backs, not what you want for a portrait. Get down to their eye level. Try pre-focusing your camera and just holding it at ground level so you can look up at the pet. ____19____.
Bring a flash with the owner’s permission. While greeting or playing with a new pet, fire a couple of test flashes away from them to see their reaction. In daylight particularly, they never seem to mind the flash at all. ____20____.
A. Think about getting in close to your subject.
B. It’s worth a try just for a new angle on things.
C. Animals can be unpredictable, lazy, aggressive and excitable.
D. A good photograph focuses on the subject and not the background.
E. If they do mind, then stick with natural light and use a white reflector.
F. The more you shoot, the greater your chances of hitting that perfect shot!
G. Take time to chat with the owner and observe your subject to gain some insight.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny day. Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today.
Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat.
So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【答案】 Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears. She found something hard to swallow. To her sadness, she lost the art competition before she even started. Just then, a box of oil painting sticks appeared in front of her eyes. “If you don’t mind, I think we can share these.”, Rida, the girl who she once hoped to beat, extended a helping hand. Anabia hesitated, but quickly they were both devoted into their works. Time flies in the blink of an eye. After handing in their works, Anabia reach out her hand.
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. “I’m sorry. I once became jealous of your intelligence, and hoped to beat you” , Anabia apologized, sincerely. Rida hugged her delightedly and said she hoped they would be friends in the future. It seemed that who would be the winner was not so important at the moment. The sun shone warm sunlight into the room and also shone on the hearts of the two girl. The world always prepare surprise for the people who like sun. They both got the first place.
