Whether you hope to summit a volcano, hike through the jungle or explore ancient ruins, Guatemala will not disappoint. Tikal National Park Tikal National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous places in Guatemala. Tikal covers an estimated 46 miles (around 74 km) and is one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in Central America. It is here, centuries ago, that the ancient Mayan civilisation boomed. Chichicastenango “Chichi,” as it’s known by the local Kiche population, hosts the largest market in Central America. The town comes alive on Thursdays and Sundays when vendors (小贩) come from surrounding areas to display their goods. The market bursts with varied colours and a lively atmosphere, stocking everything from vividly-colored cloth to traditional carved wooden masks. Guatemala City Brightly graffitied (涂鸦) walls line the busy streets in Guatemala City where you’ll find trendy stores, relaxing bars, and diverse art galleries. Make sure to check out La Esquina, an indoor food market with some of the best food stalls in the city. The Museo Popol Vuh is a leading museum in the world of Mayan art. Here you will be able to spend a couple of hours appreciating the incredible and comprehensive collection of Mayan as well as colonial art. Acatenango Volcano Volcano Acatenango towers almost 4,000 metres above the surrounding landscape just outside Antigua. The hike to the summit of this volcano is one of the toughest, yet most popular, in Guatemala. Not only will you get to appreciate the breathtaking views, but you will also have a bird’s-eye view of the nearby (and extremely active) Volcan Fuego. 21. What’s the best choice for someone interested in Mayan history? A. Tikal National Park. B. Chichicastenango. C. Guatemala City. D. Acatenango Volcano. 22. What do we know about Guatemala City? A. It hosts the largest market in Central America. B. It is a perfect destination for art lovers. C. You can buy vivid cloth and masks there. D. Museo Popol Vuh is a great food market. 23. What is special about Acatenango Volcano? A. A bird view of Guatemala City. B. The highest tower in Guatemala. C. The hike to the volcano summit. D. It is an extremely active volcano. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了拥有丰富文化遗产的拉丁美洲国家Guatemala一些著名景点。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文关于Tikal National Park的介绍段最后一句“It is here, centuries ago, that the ancient Mayan civilisation boomed. (几个世纪前，古玛雅文明就是在这里繁荣起来的)”可知，古玛雅文明曾在这里繁荣，因此如果游客对玛雅历史感兴趣，可以去这个国家公园。故选A项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文关于Guatemala City的介绍段最后一句“Here you will be able to spend a couple of hours appreciating the incredible and comprehensive collection of Mayan as well as colonial art. (在这里，你可以花几个小时欣赏玛雅人和殖民地艺术的难以置信而全面综合的收藏品)”可知，这个地方有很多艺术作品，因此对热爱艺术的人，这是旅游绝佳目的地。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文关于Acatenango Volcano的介绍段第二句“The hike to the summit of this volcano is one of the toughest, yet most popular, in Guatemala. (攀登这座火山的顶峰是Guatemala最艰难但也是最受欢迎的徒步旅行之一)”可知，攀登该火山顶峰是最艰难，也是最受欢迎的徒步旅行，因此可推测这也是该火山最特殊的地方。故选C项。 B A bird called hermit warbler breeds (繁殖) along the U.S. West Coast. They all kind of look the same and they have a cute little yellow head and a gray body. Typically, birds sing the same one song within one region because the song attracts mates. And different regions can have slightly different dialects of the song. But recently biologists noticed that there are some places that are exceptions to this rule — in some places, there is more than one song in the same place. “So we were curious why that would be the case.” Brett Furnas, a bio-statistician at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said. To investigate, Furnas and his team recorded lots of hermit warbler’s songs. In 10 years, they went to 100 different locations throughout the state and all the different potential habitats of the species. The researchers analyzed all the hermit warbler songs they collected and discovered that the hermit warbler doesn’t just break the usual one-song-per-region rule — they positively demolish it, for the researchers found, actually, an amazing 35 different dialects across the state. But why would the bird repeatedly “alter its song” when any changes could affect its ability to attract a mate? Basically, hermit warblers are very sensitive to fire in the short term, so they will abandon an area temporarily, even if it’s just a low-severity fire that doesn’t destroy the whole stand. And then other hermit warblers singing different dialects move into this area. And then they end up, maybe a few years later, with two or more different dialects in the same place. Furnas says that such musical diversity might actually work in the hermit warblers’ favor. “They may have greater resiliency (恢复力) to things like climate change. So understanding that helps us to make better conservation decisions to protect biodiversity. But it’s also what makes the outdoors interesting and a beautiful place to be, because even though you might not know it’s a hermit warbler, your experience outdoors is enriched by that diversity.” 24. What is the purpose of Furnas’ research on hermit warbler? A. To figure out how the bird breeds. B. To study the one-song-per-region rule. C. To find why its songs differ within one region. D. To investigate different habitats of the bird. 25. Why does hermit warbler frequently have its song “changed”? A. Because of the food shortage. B. Because of the less-severe wildfire. C. Because of the need to attract a mate. D. Because of the competition for habitats. 26. What does the last paragraph talk about? A. The effect climate change has on birds. B. The importance of biodiversity protection. C. The ways to enrich your outdoor experience. D. The significance of the musical diversity of hermit warbler. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了生物统计学家布雷特·弗纳斯（Brett Furnas）和他的团队对隐林莺歌声的研究，分析了隐林莺歌声多样性的原因及其意义。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But recently biologists noticed that there are some places that are exceptions to this rule — in some places, there is more than one song in the same place. “So we were curious why that would be the case.” Brett Furnas, a bio-statistician at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.(但最近生物学家注意到，有些地方是这一规则的例外——在某些地方，同一地方有多种歌声。“所以我们很好奇为什么会这样。”加州鱼类和野生动物部的生物统计学家布雷特·弗纳斯说。)”可知，弗纳斯对隐林莺的研究目的是为了找出为什么它的歌在一个地区内会有所不同。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Basically, hermit warblers are very sensitive to fire in the short term, so they will abandon an area temporarily, even if it’s just a low-severity fire that doesn’t destroy the whole stand. And then other hermit warblers singing different dialects move into this area. And then they end up, maybe a few years later, with two or more different dialects in the same place.(基本上，隐林莺在短期内对火灾非常敏感，所以它们会暂时放弃一个区域，即使这只是一场没有烧毁整个林地的低强度火灾。然后其他唱着不同方言的隐林莺就会迁入这个地区。几年后，它们最终会在同一个地方有两个或两个以上的不同方言。)”可知，隐林莺的歌声经常“改变”是因为不太严重的野火。故选B。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Furnas says that such musical diversity might actually work in the hermit warblers’ favor. “They may have greater resiliency (恢复力) to things like climate change. So understanding that helps us to make better conservation decisions to protect biodiversity. But it’s also what makes the outdoors interesting and a beautiful place to be, because even though you might not know it’s a hermit warbler, your experience outdoors is enriched by that diversity.”(Furnas说，这种音乐多样性实际上可能对隐林莺有利。“它们可能对气候变化等事情有更大的适应能力。因此，了解这一点有助于我们做出更好的保护决策，以保护生物多样性。但这也是让户外变得有趣和美丽的地方，因为即使你可能不知道那是隐林莺，你的户外体验也会因这种多样性而更加丰富。”)”可知，最后一段主要讨论的是隐林莺音乐多样性的意义。故选D。 C In a new blog post for the International Monetary Fund, four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech as well as its potential future. Gazing into their crystal ball, the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions. At its heart, the paper is trying to wrestle with the dawning notion that the institutional banking system is facing a serious threat from tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple. The researchers identify two key areas in which this is true: Tech companies have greater access to soft-information, and messaging platforms can take the place of the physical locations that banks rely on for meeting with customers. The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might hide the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily bad picture during hard times. Citing soft-data points like "the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases" that could be included in evaluating a borrower, the researchers believe that when a lender has a closer relationship with the potential client's history, they might be more willing to cut them some slack. "Banks tend to cushion credit terms for their long-term customers during downturns," the paper's authors write. This is because they have a history and relationship with the customer. The researchers acknowledge that there will be privacy and policy concerns related to including this kind of soft-data in credit analysis. Getting the soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information with other institutions would be its own can of worms. 27. What is the approach put forward by the researchers? A. Replacing banks with soft information. B. Lending money by predicting the future. C. Determining credit ratings by web history. D. Facing the threat posed by high-tech companies. 28. Why do they advocate the new way of rating the borrower’s credit? A. Traditional finance refuse to lend money. B. The new approach helps reduce burden on banks. C.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。在国际货币基金组织的一篇新博客文章中，四名研究人员展示了他们在一篇工作论文中的发现，该论文探讨了金融与科技之间当前的关系及其潜在的未来。研究人员提出通过网络历史决定信用评级的方法，介绍了施行这一方法的原因和优点，以及可能存在的问题。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions.(研究人员看到了利用你的浏览、搜索和购买历史数据来创建一个更准确的机制来确定个人或企业的信用评级的可能性。他们认为，这种做法可能导致向借款人发放更多贷款，而传统金融机构可能拒绝向借款人发放贷款)”可知，研究人员提出的方法是通过网络历史决定信用评级。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The researchers identify two key areas in which this is true: Tech companies have greater access to soft-information, and messaging platforms can take the place of the physical locations that banks rely on for meeting with customers.(研究人员发现，在两个关键领域这一观点是正确的：科技公司拥有更多获取软信息的渠道，即时通讯平台可以取代银行与客户会面所依赖的实体地点)”以及第四段中“The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might hide the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily bad picture during hard times. (利用你的网络历史记录来提供信用评级的概念，是围绕着这样一个概念：贷方依赖可能隐藏借款人价值或在困难时期描绘出不必要的糟糕图景的硬数据)”可知，他们提倡用新的方法来评定借款人的信用，是因为软数据比硬数据更能反映事实。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“"Banks tend to cushion credit terms for their long-term customers during downturns," the paper's authors write. This is because they have a history and relationship with the customer.(论文作者写道:“在经济低迷时期，银行倾向于为长期客户缓冲信贷条款。”这是因为他们有与客户的历史和关系)”以及画线词上文“Citing soft-data points like "the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases" that could be included in evaluating a borrower, the researchers believe that when a lender has a closer relationship with the potential client's history, they might be more willing to”(引用软数据点像“浏览器和硬件的类型用于访问互联网,在线搜索和购买”的历史,可以包括在评估借款人,研究人员认为,当一个银行有一个更紧密的与潜在客户的关系的历史,他们可能更愿意不那么严格)可知，研究人员引用了软数据点，这些数据可以包括在评估贷款人时，研究人员认为，当借款人与潜在客户的历史关系更密切时，他们可能更愿意不那么严格，更加放松。故画线部分意思为“不那么严格”。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers acknowledge that there will be privacy and policy concerns related to including this kind of soft-data in credit analysis. Getting the soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information with other institutions would be its own can of worms.(研究人员承认，在信用分析中使用这类软数据会涉及隐私和政策问题。获得软数据点可能需要Facebook和苹果等公司放宽将未加密信息与个人账户链接的标准。他们如何与其他机构共享信息将是他们自己的问题)”可推知，研究人员担心共享信息可能导致隐私问题。故选C。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 Choosing the right career can be hard.

At school, whenever someone tried to talk to her, her mind would race with worries: “What if I say something wrong? What if they think I'm strange? ” These thoughts always made her stumble over her words or give awkward replies. Once, after she accidentally gave a wrong answer in class, she heard some classmates giggling (咯咯地笑). Since then, she had become even more afraid to speak up. One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, she noticed a small dog huddled (蜷缩) under a bush. The dog looked lost and scared, just like how she felt whenever she tried to join a conversation. It was shivering, wet, and alone. Lena crouched down and gently approached it. The dog wagged (摇摆) its tail slightly and came closer. Lena noticed a blue collar hidden under its wet fur. Something about its trusting eyes made her heart ache. She decided to take it home. Her parents agreed to keep it temporarily while searching for its owner. Lena named the dog “Shadow” because it followed her everywhere, just like her own shadows of self-doubt. As days passed, Lena noticed how naturally Shadow interacted with everyone. At the park, he would approach others with complete confidence and make friends effortlessly. Even when he made mistakes, like accidentally knocking over someone's water bottle, his friendly tail wag would make everyone laugh with him, not at him. Taking Shadow for walks gave Lena unexpected friendships. Emily, a girl from her class, often came to the park with her own dog. They started talking about their pets, and soon Emily became Lena’ s first real friend. Through Emily, Lena met other kids and gradually found herself part of a group that would meet at the park to play with their dogs. For the first time, she felt like she belonged. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好. Para 1: One day, a woman carrying a “Lost Dog: Lucky” poster walked into the park. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Lena and Emily began visiting Lucky every now and then. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, a woman carrying a “Lost Dog: Lucky” poster walked into the park. Lena’s heart dropped when she saw Shadow’s picture on the flyer. The woman rushed forward upon seeing the dog, and Shadow — whose real name was Lucky — immediately bounded towards her with excited barks. Through tears, Lena watched their reunion, but the owner, noticing her sadness, warmly invited her to visit anytime she wanted. It was a hard time for Lena but she knew it was time for Lucky to go home. Lena and Emily began visiting Lucky every now and then. The regular visits to the woman’s house became something Lena looked forward to each week. Watching Lucky play freely and confidently with other dogs helped Lena realize that she too could overcome her fears. At school, she gradually found her voice in class discussions, and even when she made mistakes, she remembered Lucky’s carefree spirit. The little lost dog had taught her that the best friendships often begin when we open our hearts to others, even if it means having to let go. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了原本内向、害怕交朋友的女孩Lena，一次偶然在回家路上发现一只躲在灌木丛下、看起来恐惧的小狗，她将其带回家并取名Shadow 。后来Shadow自然地与他人交往，还帮Lena结识了朋友Emily。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，一个女人拿着一张‘丢失的狗：Lucky’的海报走进了公园。”可知，第一段可描写Lucky见到主人兴奋地跑过去，Lena虽难过但也接受了，将Lucky还给了他的主人。 ②由第二段首句内容“ Lena和Emily开始时不时地拜访Lucky。”可知，第二段可描写Lucky的经历也让Lena逐渐克服恐惧，在学校更自信地表达 。 2. 续写线索：Lucky跑向女人——看到她们团聚——伤心——经常去看Lucky——克服恐惧——自信表达——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②克服：overcome/get over ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②无忧无虑的：carefree/worry-free 【点睛】【高分句型1】The woman rushed forward upon seeing the dog, and Shadow — whose real name was Lucky — immediately bounded towards her with excited barks. (由whose引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Watching Lucky play freely and confidently with other dogs helped Lena realize that she too could overcome her fears. (由动名词作主语以及that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型3】At school, she gradually found her voice in class discussions, and even when she made mistakes, she remembered Lucky‘s carefree spirit. (由when引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 无锡市第一中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中质量检测试卷 高 二 英 语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。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. 此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What matters most to the woman about a job?

Whether you hope to summit a volcano, hike through the jungle or explore ancient ruins, Guatemala will not disappoint. Tikal National Park Tikal National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous places in Guatemala. Tikal covers an estimated 46 miles (around 74 km) and is one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in Central America. It is here, centuries ago, that the ancient Mayan civilisation boomed. Chichicastenango “Chichi” as it’s known by the local Kiche population, hosts the largest market in Central America. The town comes alive on Thursdays and Sundays when vendors (小贩) come from surrounding areas to display their goods. The market bursts with varied colours and a lively atmosphere, stocking everything from vividly-colored cloth to traditional carved wooden masks. Guatemala City Brightly graffitied (涂鸦) walls line the busy streets in Guatemala City where you’ll find trendy stores, relaxing bars, and diverse art galleries. Make sure to check out La Esquina, an indoor food market with some of the best food stalls in the city. The Museo Popol Vuh is a leading museum in the world of Mayan art. Here you will be able to spend a couple of hours appreciating the incredible and comprehensive collection of Mayan as well as colonial art. Acatenango Volcano Volcano Acatenango towers almost 4,000 metres above the surrounding landscape just outside Antigua. The hike to the summit of this volcano is one of the toughest, yet most popular, in Guatemala. Not only will you get to appreciate the breathtaking views, but you will also have a bird’s-eye view of the nearby (and extremely active) Volcan Fuego. 21. What’s the best choice for someone interested in Mayan history? A. Tikal National Park. B. Chichicastenango. C. Guatemala City. D. Acatenango Volcano. 22. What do we know about Guatemala City? A It hosts the largest market in Central America. B. It is a perfect destination for art lovers. C. You can buy vivid cloth and masks there. D. Museo Popol Vuh is a great food market. 23. What is special about Acatenango Volcano? A. A bird view of Guatemala City. B. The highest tower in Guatemala. C. The hike to the volcano summit. D. It is an extremely active volcano. B A bird called hermit warbler breeds (繁殖) along the U.S. West Coast. They all kind of look the same and they have a cute little yellow head and a gray body. Typically, birds sing the same one song within one region because the song attracts mates. And different regions can have slightly different dialects of the song. But recently biologists noticed that there are some places that are exceptions to this rule — in some places, there is more than one song in the same place. “So we were curious why that would be the case.” Brett Furnas, a bio-statistician at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said. To investigate, Furnas and his team recorded lots of hermit warbler’s songs. In 10 years, they went to 100 different locations throughout the state and all the different potential habitats of the species. The researchers analyzed all the hermit warbler songs they collected and discovered that the hermit warbler doesn’t just break the usual one-song-per-region rule — they positively demolish it, for the researchers found, actually, an amazing 35 different dialects across the state. But why would the bird repeatedly “alter its song” when any changes could affect its ability to attract a mate? Basically, hermit warblers are very sensitive to fire in the short term, so they will abandon an area temporarily, even if it’s just a low-severity fire that doesn’t destroy the whole stand. And then other hermit warblers singing different dialects move into this area. And then they end up, maybe a few years later, with two or more different dialects in the same place. Furnas says that such musical diversity might actually work in the hermit warblers’ favor. “They may have greater resiliency (恢复力) to things like climate change. So understanding that helps us to make better conservation decisions to protect biodiversity. But it’s also what makes the outdoors interesting and a beautiful place to be, because even though you might not know it’s a hermit warbler, your experience outdoors is enriched by that diversity.” 24. What is the purpose of Furnas’ research on hermit warbler? A. To figure out how the bird breeds. B. To study the one-song-per-region rule. C. To find why its songs differ within one region. D. To investigate different habitats of the bird. 25. Why does hermit warbler frequently have its song “changed”? A. Because of the food shortage. B. Because of the less-severe wildfire. C. Because of the need to attract a mate. D. Because of the competition for habitats. 26. What does the last paragraph talk about? A. The effect climate change has on birds. B. The importance of biodiversity protection. C. The ways to enrich your outdoor experience. D. The significance of the musical diversity of hermit warbler. C In a new blog post for the International Monetary Fund, four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech as well as its potential future. Gazing into their crystal ball, the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions. At its heart, the paper is trying to wrestle with the dawning notion that the institutional banking system is facing a serious threat from tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple. The researchers identify two key areas in which this is true: Tech companies have greater access to soft-information, and messaging platforms can take the place of the physical locations that banks rely on for meeting with customers. The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might hide the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily bad picture during hard times. Citing soft-data points like "the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases" that could be included in evaluating a borrower, the researchers believe that when a lender has a closer relationship with the potential client's history, they might be more willing to cut them some slack. "Banks tend to cushion credit terms for their long-term customers during downturns," the paper's authors write. This is because they have a history and relationship with the customer. The researchers acknowledge that there will be privacy and policy concerns related to including this kind of soft-data in credit analysis. Getting the soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information with other institutions would be its own can of worms. 27. What is the approach put forward by the researchers? A. Replacing banks with soft information. B. Lending money by predicting the future. C. Determining credit ratings by web history. D. Facing the threat posed by high-tech companies. 28. Why do they advocate the new way of rating the borrower’s credit? A. Traditional finance refuse to lend money. B. The new approach helps reduce burden on banks. C. The type of hardware misleads the lender’s judgement. D. Soft information better reflects the truth than hard data. 29. Which is the closest in meaning with the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4? A. Be less strict. B. Share interests. C. Forgive others’ fault. D. Cut a piece of bread. 30. What do the researchers worry about? A. Banks will break up with customers. B. High tech companies will be in a mess. C. Sharing information may cause problems of privacy. D. Competition between tech companies will be more fierce. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 Choosing the right career can be hard. Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what to do with their lives, and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine. ___31___ Your working life lasts an average of forty years, so it's important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about. Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this. The Australian website, www.careersonline.com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. ___32___— find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best; if you're not a romantic person, you won't want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. ___33___ Meanwhile, you should find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work, how much you will earn, and how to get a job in that profession. So, how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions. ___34___ Have you travel overseas? Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree, such as a first aid license, for example? Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats would probably never become a veterinarian. Flight attendants, firefighters, and police officers have to be over a certain height, and be physically fit. ___35___ Are you outgoing and extroverted, or shy and introverted? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you. A. Your personality matters, too. B. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets. C. The site suggests you do the same with your career. D. Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. E. Some jobs require you to have certain life experiences. F. But others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. G. When you know you can work in your dream job, you'll be glad. 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分57.5分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） When I was 16， I wanted to buy an album(专辑)from my favorite band,but I could ____36____pay for it.
