Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players. Physician assistant Average hourly wage: $57.43 Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates. Project management specialist Average hourly wage: $53.32 If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time. Teacher Average hourly wage: $33.43 Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions. 26. What can we know about physician assistants? A. They need an on-the-job training. B. They are paid the most on average. C. They are less popular than doctors. D. They need both certificates and experience. 27. Which of the following suits those who prefer a flexible timetable? A. Teacher. B. Referee or other sports official. C. Physician assistant. D.

B Last month, I moved abroad for two years to study, taking just a single suitcase with me.I couldn’t afford to keep my former flat, so when it came to my possessions , extreme measures were called for. Some of my stuff, like books, I could give them away. But there was a list of things like precious paintings and my childhood teddy bear that I couldn’t bring myself to let go. So I decided to offer these things up for long-term loan. It’s not recycling. I’m calling it “share-cycling”. I made the decision as I imagined someone I loved putting my tent onto their back and setting off into the countryside in the summer sunshine. This made it feel as though I would still, in some way, be with my friends. And once I’d come up with the idea, it just grew and grew. I decided to give away everything I owned! To get rid of all, I invited everyone I knew to take my belongings. When the people first came round, they all sat around drinking tea and glancing at the cupboards. I was beginning to wonder why I had asked them to go through my stuff and take what they wanted. But soon I became like a sales assistant. I recommended novels, waved toys at babies, and brought out clothes for people to try on. Now I am sitting in a flat on the other side of the world. I feel very far from my home, and from my stuff. That list I made of the things I want back? I’m not sure how much I’ll need it. So far, I haven’t missed any of my pictures, or those memorable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city. My “share-cycling” plan ties me back to them. A friend took my tent to a music festival. And my favourite picture ended up on the wall of my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz:the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” on my city life rather than “stop”, making the move easier. 29. Why did the author decide to give away her belongings to others? A. She owned many precious things. B. She would study abroad for many years. C. She was unable to keep all of them in her flat. D. She believed they were useful to people she loved. 30. How did the author feel the moment people came to take her belongings? A. Regretful. B. Cheerful. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. 31. What do the underlined words “a real buzz” mean in paragraph 4? A. A helpful reminder of the past. B. A strong feeling of excitement. C. A sudden memory of an old friend. D. An interesting experience of the move 32. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author was surprised at the change of her life. B. The author missed her belongings more than expected. C. It would be worthwhile for the author to get her things back. D. The shared stuff helped to maintain the connection between people. C As we all know, trees are always stationary: they stay more or less where you plant them, and no one worries about finding a tree wandering around a park or back yard. However, there is one special exception, some say: the so-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs. The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources of documents as an amazing plant adaptation. As journalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her book Curious Folks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching for the perfect B-movie (小成本电影) plant hero could take inspiration from the walking palm. The tree slowly walks from shade to sunlight by growing new roots toward the light.” A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, strange story. And it’s not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn’t walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe. Biologist Gerardo Avalos is one of the world’s top experts on the palm tree. His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can’t walk because its roots don’t move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot. “My paper proves that the belief of the walking palm is just a myth,” Avalos said. “Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor… is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.” 33. What is the reason for no one worries about wandering trees? A. Trees are not always standing. B. Trees are not always moving. C. Trees are not always growing. D. Trees are not always dying. 34. Why do people think the palm tree can walk around? A. It has no roots underground. B. It appears to have several trunks. C. It grows a few feet off the ground. D. It appears to have many little legs. 35. What can we learn about the palm tree from the passage? A. It wanders around the rainforest at night. B. It grows in Central and North America. C. It is a popular attraction among visitors. D. It grows well in the shade of the rainforests. 36. What does biologist Gerardo Avalos believe? A. The palm tree cannot actually walk at all. B. The palm tree can move its roots. C. The palm tree can track the sunlight. D. The palm tree cannot keep its trunk growing. D As an art graduate, I have always considered myself an artist.However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic when businesses were shutting down. I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay. He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement. I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better. Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs. Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist. 37. What does the underlined phrase “in a rut” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life. C. Tired from a busy schedule. D. Struggling for fame. 38. Which best describes the author’s earring-making experience in Paragraph 3? A. Painful. B. Perfect. C. Rewarding. D. Disappointing. 39. What helped the author improve her jewelry-making skills? A. Recognition from buyers. B. Lessons from the past. C. Encouragement from friends. D. Help from other artists. 40. What’s the main idea of this text? A. Clay art won me great fame. B. Making jewelry helped me out. C. Making jewelry built my character. D. Clay art fueled my passion for business. 第二节(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a parent, you want your kids to do their best in school.
