While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. Below are some of the best aptitude tests out there. Clifton Strengths The Clifton Strengths program was created based on research around leadership. The research in question pointed to common strengths among successful leaders, like strategic thinking, adaptability and communication. To complete the test, you must answer around 150 questions, each within 20 seconds. Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that Clifton Strengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”. Red Bull Wingfinder Developed and tested out by psychology experts, the Red Bull Wingfinder assesses your thinking under pressure. Questions include image sorting, logic puzzles and leadership-related questions. Once you complete the test, you’ll receive a nine-page report and career coaching tailored to your results. SEI Development Report The SEI Development Report is an extensive EQ aptitude test that has timed right-and-wrong answers that assess eight fundamentals, including emotional literacy, emotional management and empathy. At the end, you’ll receive a 20-page report with recommended courses on workplace EQ development. CareerOneStop While it only takes a few minutes to complete, the CareerOneStop Skills Assessment will help you rank both your technical and soft skills. The career suggestions at the end can be categorized by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with professional coaching or consultation to improve your skills. 1. What do aptitude tests mainly assess for job seekers? A. Their work morals. B. Their preferred work style. C. Their career interest. D. Their professional competence. 2. What is a unique feature of Clifton Strengths? A. It evaluates leadership skills. B. It develops strategic thinking. C. It includes challenging questions. D. It offers a comprehensive report. 3. Which test suits those who prefer sorted suggestions and career coaching? A. Clifton Strengths. B. Red Bull Wingfinder. C. SEI Development Report. D. CareerOneStop. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四款很好的能力倾向测试。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. (职业测验考查的是你的价值观和工作方式，而能力倾向测试则是对你的技能进行更客观的评估，帮助你选择最有可能成功的职业。)”可知，能力倾向测试主要评估求职者的专业能力。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Clifton Strengths中“Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that Clifton Strengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”. (科技博客作者Allen Cheung指出，克利夫顿优势评估比一般的职业测试更有价值，因为它包含了“不那么容易回答的棘手问题”。)”可知，克利夫顿优势评估的一个独特之处在于它包含了具有挑战性的问题。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据CareerOneStop中“The career suggestions at the end can be categorized by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with professional coaching or consultation to improve your skills. (最后的职业建议可以根据相关度、年薪和工作前景进行分类，再加上专业的指导或咨询，以提高你的技能。)”可知，这项测试提供分类的建议和专业的指导，适合对这方面有需求的人。故选D项。 B I have a tea problem, drinking far too much since my teens. The addiction is bad, though cheap as addictions go. My excuse is that there are so many problems to which a cup of tea is the answer. Who doesn’t think it’s a lifesaver right now, as the dark falls and the cold follows? Luckily, I needn’t be ashamed of my dependence on tea any longer, in fact, I should be proud. Because a new study by Professor Francisca Antman, an economist at the University of Colorado Boulder, shows widespread adoption of tea-drinking in late 18th-century England wasn’t just central to the development of our national culture, it actually saved lives. In 1784, the Commutation Act dramatically cut the tea tax from 119% to 12.5%. Soon even peasants were drinking two cups of tea a day, with tea imports increasing six times between 1761 and 1834. What does a cup of tea need apart from tea leaves? Boiled water — which meant much healthier water in an era when people didn’t know dirty water spread disease. Plus, at the time tea was cheaper than beer, the other source of disease-free drink. Death rates fell from 28 to 23 per 1,000 people over that same period. The role of tea imports was confirmed by drops in deaths from diseases carried by water. Improvements were also greatest in areas of lower water quality. And there was economic development, allowing the gathering together of people in the factory towns of the Industrial Revolution. This all happened by accident, in a period in which public health protection didn’t much exist. It is surprising how a social custom could have such a big impact on the course of history. Anyway, I’m off to put the kettle on. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward drinking tea? A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Conservative. 5. What is the direct reason for the drop of death rates between 1761 and 1834? A. The government cut the tea tax. B. The tea was the cheapest drink. C. The boiled tea water was cleaner. D. The British preferred to drink tea. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning drinking tea? A. Its traditional roles. B. Its different benefits. C. Its fast development. D. Its economic impact. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Unexpected Lifesaver B. A Modern Trend C. The Origins of Tea Addiction D. The Impacts of Tea Export 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喝茶的好处以及英格兰茶文化的历史渊源。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Luckily, I needn’t be ashamed of my dependence on tea any longer, in fact, I should be proud. Because a new study by Professor Francisca Antman, an economist at the University of Colorado Boulder, shows widespread adoption of tea-drinking in late 18th-century England wasn’t just central to the development of our national culture, it actually saved lives. (幸运的是，我再也不必为我对茶的依赖感到羞愧了，实际上，我应该感到自豪。因为科罗拉多大学波尔德分校的经济学家弗朗西斯卡·安特曼教授进行的一项新研究表明，18世纪晚期英格兰广泛采用饮茶习惯，这不仅对我们国家文化的发展至关重要，实际上还拯救了生命。)”可知，从个人角度来看，作者认为喝茶是一个值得骄傲的习惯；在更广义的层面上来看，作者提到18世纪晚期喝茶在英格兰不仅对于国家文化的发展至关重要，而且还拯救了生命。由此可推断，作者对喝茶持积极的态度。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Boiled water — which meant much healthier water in an era when people didn’t know dirty water spread disease. (煮沸的水——在那个人们还不知道脏水传播疾病的时代，意味着更加健康的水。)”及第四段中的“Death rates fell from 28 to 23 per 1,000 people over that same period. The role of tea imports was confirmed by drops in deaths from diseases carried by water. (在那个时期，死亡率从每1000人中的28人下降到了23人。茶叶进口的作用通过由水传播的疾病死亡率的下降得到了证实。)”可知，茶叶需要用开水冲泡，这意味着在人们不知道脏水会传播疾病的年代，人们通过喝茶摄入了更健康的水。因此，烧开的茶水更干净，有助于降低水传播疾病的风险，从而降低了死亡率。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The role of tea imports was confirmed by drops in deaths from diseases carried by water. (茶叶进口的作用通过水传播疾病死亡率的下降得到了证实。)”以及“And there was economic development, allowing the gathering together of people in the factory towns of the Industrial Revolution. (还有经济发展，这使得在工业革命时期的工厂城镇中，人们得以聚集在一起。)”可知，第四段中作者主要讨论了喝茶的不同好处，包括水传播疾病导致的死亡率下降了，并且使经济得到了发展——让人们聚集在工业革命时期的工业城镇中。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段可知，在18世纪晚期的英格兰，喝茶有效地降低了死亡率，起到了拯救生命的作用。根据最后一段中的“This all happened by accident, in a period in which public health protection didn’t much exist. (这一切都是偶然发生的，在那个公共卫生保护几乎不存在的时期。)”可知，喝茶可以拯救生命是一个没有被人们预料到的效果。因此，选项A最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。 C A professor at the University of South Florida recently published a paper she knew barely anyone would read. At least, not outside her field. The paper had to do with the impact of algae (海藻) blooms and depletion (退化) of coral reefs on the region’s tourism industry. The work of completing the paper was glum, says Heather O’Leary. It involved tracking visitors’ reactions to the environment on social media. “Part of the data for months was just reading posts: dead fish, dead fish, dead fish,” she recalled. “We were really thinking every day about the Gulf of Mexico and the waters that surround us, about those risks, and the risks to our coastal economy.” O’Leary wanted people to pay attention to her paper and raise their environmental awareness. But she couldn’t come up with any solutions. However, attending concerts at USF’s School of Music inspired and gladdened her. She reached out to its director of bands, Matthew McCutchen. “I’m studying climate change and what’s going down at the coral reefs,” he remembered her saying. “And I’ve got all this data from my paper and I’d like to know if there’s any way that we can turn it into music. So people can know about my paper.” Indeed there was. Composition professor Paul Reller worked with students to map pitch, rhythm and duration to the data. It came alive, O’Leary said, in ways it simply couldn’t be done on a spreadsheet. “My students were really excited to start thinking about how students from other majors, such as the music students, heard patterns that they did not normally hear in some of the repetitions,” she said. In this case, she said, the patterns revealed the economic impact of pollution on coastal Florida communities. With music, she added, “you can start to sense with different parts of your mind and your body that there are patterns happening and that they’re important.” “The world is going to see more and more of these ‘wicked problems’, the ones that take multiple people with different types of training and background to solve.” Now, a group of professors and students are working to bring together music and the environment in related projects, such as an augmented (增强的) reality experience based on this composition. The group wants to spread awareness about the algae blooms, data literacy (数据认知) and environmental protection. 8. What does the underlined word “glum” mean? A. Repetitive. B. Emotional. C. Routine. D. Miserable. 9. What favor did Heather ask Matthew to offer? A. Turn her algae data into music. B. Find some music about coral reefs. C. Teach her some musical terms. D. Compose songs regarding climate change. 10. What do patterns in Paul’s music reflect? A. The different types of training. B. The repetition of pitch and rhythm. C. The threat of pollution on the costal economy. D. The complex challenges of wicked problems. 11. What role did Heather think music plays? A. Providing solutions to the algae problem. B. Exposing more wicked problems to the public. C. Showing the economic growth in coastal cities. D. Helping people experience the problems better. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Heather O’Leary和一位作曲教授将环保科研数据转化为音乐，揭示污染对佛罗里达旅游业的影响，以此创新方式提升公众对环境问题的关注与理解。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段内容尤其是第三句话“‘Part of the data for months was just reading posts: dead fish, dead fish, dead fish,’ she recalled. (“好几个月的数据记录里，我读到的帖子内容都是：死鱼、死鱼、死鱼，”她回忆道。)”可知，这项研究涉及分析社交媒体上关于死鱼和环境恶化等负面帖子，这使得完成论文的过程显得相当令人沮丧，miserable意为“令人痛苦的”，与画线词含义相近。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“And I’ve got all this data from my paper and I’d like to know if there’s any way that we can turn it into music. (我手头有来自我的论文的所有这些数据，我想知道是否有办法将它转换成音乐。)”和第四段的信息可知，她请求Matthew McCutchen把她的关于海藻的数据转换成音乐。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“In this case, she said, the patterns revealed the economic impact of pollution on coastal Florida communities. (在这种情况下，她说，这些模式揭示了污染对佛罗里达沿海社区经济的影响。)”可知，这里的patterns指的是污染对于海岸经济的影响。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段的“With music, she added, ‘you can start to sense with different parts of your mind and your body that there are patterns happening and that they’re important.’ (她补充说，通过音乐，“你可以开始用你头脑和身体的不同部分去感知正在发生的模式以及它们的重要性。”)”可知，通过这种音乐形式，人们能够感知并欣赏那些具有重要意义的模式的存在。这种音乐形式能调动大脑的不同区域，并与整个身体产生共鸣。即这种音乐形式能够帮助人们更好地理解存在的那些问题。故选D。 D There has been a bitter argument within the Australian community over a horse racing event advertised on the Sydney Opera House. While some believe the Opera House is Australia’s “biggest billboard (大幅广告牌)” and should be used for economic gain, others are shocked that the government has allowed the national landmark to be polluted with branding. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sydney Opera House is an important Australian building recognized all over the world and one of the country’s most frequently visited tourist attractions. In the past, the Opera House has been used to promote a handful of charities, cultural festivals, etc. However, these have aimed to highlight events that bring advantage to ordinary people, not a single profiting brand. Some have argued that promoting brands on the sails of the Opera House is just like advertising on any other billboard or marketing space with the power to significantly encourage tourism and growth. While this may be true if advertising continues to happen, the Opera House could risk losing its reputation, which could devalue the landmark and actually damage its tourism appeal. Although landmarks around the world such as the Eiffel Tower and Moscow’s Red Square have been used for advertising, they also caused some arguments among the public. For instance, a major fashion brand placed a giant branded suitcase in the center of Moscow’s Red Square; however, it was removed shortly afterwards as tourists complained it was so big that it blocked views of major landmark sites. The advertisement caused arguments among the public and finally failed to leave a positive impact. So what will advertising on the Opera House look like to international tourists? Will they be amazed and drawn to a wonderful country, or will they see advertising as something reducing the cultural value of a national symbol? We think it’s clear that our national treasures deserve the respect and admiration that come with them, and advertising should be limited to important causes, not campaigns for commercial gain. 12. What caused the heated debate among Australians? A. The biggest billboard at the Opera House. B. The Opera House’s being used for advertising. C. The horse racing event held at the Opera House. D. The famous national landmark’s being polluted. 13. What can be learned about the previous activities at the Opera House? A. They were in the public interest. B. They caught international attention. C. They were designed to attract tourists. D. They brought great economic benefits. 14. Why does the author mention Moscow’s Red Square? A. To present how companies benefit from attractions. B. To stress the various types of promotions in attractions. C. To explain why tourists dislike billboards on landmarks. D. To show the negative effects of advertising on landmarks. 15 Which of the following statements might the author agree with? A. National landmarks should advertise for commercial purposes. B. Governments must ban advertising through national landmarks. C. Advertisements on national treasures can’t have positive impacts. D. National landmarks could advertise activities benefiting ordinary people. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了悉尼歌剧院被用作商业广告引发的争议，以及国家地标是否应该用于商业广告的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There has been a bitter argument within the Australian community over a horse racing event advertised on the Sydney Opera House. (澳大利亚社区内对于在悉尼歌剧院上做赛马活动广告一事发生了激烈的争论。)”可知，悉尼歌剧院的赛马活动广告引起了澳大利亚人的激烈争论。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the past, the Opera House has been used to promote a handful of charities, cultural festivals, etc. However, these have aimed to highlight events that bring advantage to ordinary people, not a single profiting brand. (在过去，歌剧院被用来推广一些慈善机构、文化节等。然而，这些活动的目标是突出那些给普通人带来好处的事件，而不是单一的盈利品牌。)”可知，在过去，悉尼歌剧院被用来宣传一些慈善机构、文化节等，但这些都是能给大众带来好处的活动。由此可知，之前在悉尼歌剧院举行的活动都是符合公众利益的。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“For instance, a major fashion brand placed a giant branded suitcase in the center of Moscow’s Red Square; however, it was removed shortly afterwards as tourists complained it was so big that it blocked views of major landmark sites. The advertisement caused arguments among the public and finally failed to leave a positive impact. (例如，一家大型时尚品牌在莫斯科红场中心放置了一个巨大的品牌行李箱广告；然而，由于游客抱怨它太大，挡住了主要地标景点的视线，不久之后它被移除了。这则广告引起了公众的争论，最终未能留下积极的影响。)”以及第三段中的“While this may be true, if advertising continues to happen, the Opera House could risk losing its reputation, which could devalue the landmark and actually damage its tourism appeal. (尽管这可能是事实，但如果广告继续发生，歌剧院可能会冒着失去其声誉的风险，这可能会降低该地标的价值，实际上损害其旅游吸引力。)”可知，作者提及莫斯科红场的例子是为了说明将地标用于商业宣传，最终会带来负面影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We think it’s clear that our national treasures deserve the respect and admiration that come with them, and advertising should be limited to important causes, not campaigns for commercial gain. (我们认为很明显，我们的国家宝藏值得拥有随之而来的尊重和钦佩，广告应该限制在重要的原因上，而不是为了商业利益的宣传活动。)”可知，作者认为人们应该尊重和赞赏国家瑰宝，国家地标应该仅仅为重要的原因做广告。由此可推知，作者可能会认同“国家地标可以宣传有益于大众的活动”。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health.

(尽可能多地寻找自然光。)”以及后文“When you wake up, go outside for a relaxed walk around the block, or sit out back while you have a cup of coffee. To avoid being in a sleep state all along, you’d better rethink the black-out curtains you might use to make a very dark sleeping environment.

A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.

I’ve always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. It meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For several days I waited at the same place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness” on my mind. How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth? Why was it that the jogger gave me the money? I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I met that jogger, but in vain. For several days, I waited at the same place. But to my disappointment, he didn’t turn up. It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, “Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在中央公园晨跑时，误以为妻子给自己的面包钱被撞他的慢跑者偷走，作者追回了钱。回到家却发现自己的钱被遗忘在了家里。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着桌子上的钱，我震惊地站在那里。”可知，第一段可描写作者感觉内疚，并决定向对方道歉，第二天仍然去公园，为了遇见那位慢跑者。 ②由第二段首句内容“我在同一个地方等了好几天。”可知，第二段可描写作者再次见到那位慢跑者，还钱并道歉，得到了对方的原谅。 2.续写线索：感觉内疚——决定道歉——等候慢跑者——再见面——还钱、道歉并得到原谅——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①归还：give back/return ②决定做：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①惊恐的：frightened/alarmed/scared ②内疚的： guilty/sinful 【点睛】【高分句型1】I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again.（运用了before引导的时间状语从句） 听力答案：1-5 ACBAB 6-10 BACCB 11-15 CACAA 16-20 CABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 临澧一中2025届高三第一次阶段性考试试卷 英语 时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. Below are some of the best aptitude tests out there. Clifton Strengths The Clifton Strengths program was created based on research around leadership. The research in question pointed to common strengths among successful leaders, like strategic thinking, adaptability and communication. To complete the test, you must answer around 150 questions, each within 20 seconds. Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that Clifton Strengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”.

B I have a tea problem, drinking far too much since my teens. The addiction is bad, though cheap as addictions go. My excuse is that there are so many problems to which a cup of tea is the answer. Who doesn’t think it’s a lifesaver right now, as the dark falls and the cold follows? Luckily, I needn’t be ashamed of my dependence on tea any longer, in fact, I should be proud. Because a new study by Professor Francisca Antman, an economist at the University of Colorado Boulder, shows widespread adoption of tea-drinking in late 18th-century England wasn’t just central to the development of our national culture, it actually saved lives. In 1784, the Commutation Act dramatically cut the tea tax from 119% to 12.5%. Soon even peasants were drinking two cups of tea a day, with tea imports increasing six times between 1761 and 1834. What does a cup of tea need apart from tea leaves? Boiled water — which meant much healthier water in an era when people didn’t know dirty water spread disease. Plus, at the time tea was cheaper than beer, the other source of disease-free drink. Death rates fell from 28 to 23 per 1,000 people over that same period. The role of tea imports was confirmed by drops in deaths from diseases carried by water. Improvements were also greatest in areas of lower water quality. And there was economic development, allowing the gathering together of people in the factory towns of the Industrial Revolution. This all happened by accident, in a period in which public health protection didn’t much exist. It is surprising how a social custom could have such a big impact on the course of history. Anyway, I’m off to put the kettle on. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward drinking tea? A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Conservative. 5. What is the direct reason for the drop of death rates between 1761 and 1834? A. The government cut the tea tax. B. The tea was the cheapest drink. C. The boiled tea water was cleaner. D. The British preferred to drink tea. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning drinking tea? A. Its traditional roles. B. Its different benefits. C. Its fast development. D. Its economic impact. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. An Unexpected Lifesaver B. A Modern Trend C. The Origins of Tea Addiction D. The Impacts of Tea Export C A professor at the University of South Florida recently published a paper she knew barely anyone would read. At least, not outside her field. The paper had to do with the impact of algae (海藻) blooms and depletion (退化) of coral reefs on the region’s tourism industry. The work of completing the paper was glum, says Heather O’Leary. It involved tracking visitors’ reactions to the environment on social media. “Part of the data for months was just reading posts: dead fish, dead fish, dead fish,” she recalled. “We were really thinking every day about the Gulf of Mexico and the waters that surround us, about those risks, and the risks to our coastal economy.” O’Leary wanted people to pay attention to her paper and raise their environmental awareness. But she couldn’t come up with any solutions. However, attending concerts at USF’s School of Music inspired and gladdened her. She reached out to its director of bands, Matthew McCutchen. “I’m studying climate change and what’s going down at the coral reefs,” he remembered her saying. “And I’ve got all this data from my paper and I’d like to know if there’s any way that we can turn it into music. So people can know about my paper.” Indeed there was. Composition professor Paul Reller worked with students to map pitch, rhythm and duration to the data. It came alive, O’Leary said, in ways it simply couldn’t be done on a spreadsheet. “My students were really excited to start thinking about how students from other majors, such as the music students, heard patterns that they did not normally hear in some of the repetitions,” she said. In this case, she said, the patterns revealed the economic impact of pollution on coastal Florida communities. With music, she added, “you can start to sense with different parts of your mind and your body that there are patterns happening and that they’re important.” “The world is going to see more and more of these ‘wicked problems’, the ones that take multiple people with different types of training and background to solve.” Now, a group of professors and students are working to bring together music and the environment in related projects, such as an augmented (增强的) reality experience based on this composition. The group wants to spread awareness about the algae blooms, data literacy (数据认知) and environmental protection. 8. What does the underlined word “glum” mean? A. Repetitive. B. Emotional. C. Routine. D. Miserable. 9. What favor did Heather ask Matthew to offer? A. Turn her algae data into music. B. Find some music about coral reefs. C. Teach her some musical terms. D. Compose songs regarding climate change. 10 What do patterns in Paul’s music reflect? A The different types of training. B. The repetition of pitch and rhythm. C. The threat of pollution on the costal economy. D. The complex challenges of wicked problems. 11. What role did Heather think music plays? A. Providing solutions to the algae problem. B. Exposing more wicked problems to the public. C. Showing the economic growth in coastal cities. D. Helping people experience the problems better. D There has been a bitter argument within the Australian community over a horse racing event advertised on the Sydney Opera House. While some believe the Opera House is Australia’s “biggest billboard (大幅广告牌)” and should be used for economic gain, others are shocked that the government has allowed the national landmark to be polluted with branding. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sydney Opera House is an important Australian building recognized all over the world and one of the country’s most frequently visited tourist attractions. In the past, the Opera House has been used to promote a handful of charities, cultural festivals, etc. However, these have aimed to highlight events that bring advantage to ordinary people, not a single profiting brand. Some have argued that promoting brands on the sails of the Opera House is just like advertising on any other billboard or marketing space with the power to significantly encourage tourism and growth. While this may be true, if advertising continues to happen, the Opera House could risk losing its reputation, which could devalue the landmark and actually damage its tourism appeal. Although landmarks around the world such as the Eiffel Tower and Moscow’s Red Square have been used for advertising, they also caused some arguments among the public. For instance, a major fashion brand placed a giant branded suitcase in the center of Moscow’s Red Square; however, it was removed shortly afterwards as tourists complained it was so big that it blocked views of major landmark sites. The advertisement caused arguments among the public and finally failed to leave a positive impact. So what will advertising on the Opera House look like to international tourists? Will they be amazed and drawn to a wonderful country, or will they see advertising as something reducing the cultural value of a national symbol? We think it’s clear that our national treasures deserve the respect and admiration that come with them, and advertising should be limited to important causes, not campaigns for commercial gain. 12. What caused the heated debate among Australians? A. The biggest billboard at the Opera House. B. The Opera House’s being used for advertising. C. The horse racing event held at the Opera House. D. The famous national landmark’s being polluted. 13. What can be learned about the previous activities at the Opera House? A. They were in the public interest. B. They caught international attention. C. They were designed to attract tourists. D. They brought great economic benefits. 14. Why does the author mention Moscow’s Red Square? A. To present how companies benefit from attractions. B. To stress the various types of promotions in attractions. C. To explain why tourists dislike billboards on landmarks. D.

I’ve always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. It meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For several days, I waited at the same place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACBAB 6-10 BACCB 11-15 CACAA 16-20 CABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
