W:Thank you George,but I've decided to travel a bit before finding another job. Text 2 M:Would you mind turning down the TV? W:Pardon?I can't hear you. M:Would you mind turning down the TV?I'm answering the phone. W:Not at all. Text 3 M:Good morning.I'd like to speak to Mr.Johnson, please. W:Mr.Johnson is not at this office today.He's at the head office.He's there Monday,Wednesday and Friday this week. Text 4 M:Wow,I didn't know you paint.I wish I learned a hobby. W:Hobbies are never too late to learn.There are a variety of classes at the local community college.You could look into them. Text 5 M:Today,our program's guest is Nancy,who works as a photographer for a fashion magazine.Glad to see you, Nancy! W:Glad to see you,Ethan! Text 6 W:David,you look worried.What did you talk about with the boss? M:It was about my promotion to be the manager of 112 the company. W:That's really good news.After all,a higher position means a higher salary.We need more money to send our son to go abroad. M:But I don't think I'm up to the position.It requires some communicating skills,but I always feel nervous when facing people. W:I think you should give it a go.I know you can learn quickly.Maybe a course in communication will be good for you. M:That's a good idea.I'll read the newspapers to find a proper course. W:I'm sure you will make it. Text 7 W:I understand you are writing an article about a famous painter.Who knew a scientist could have such interest in the arts！ M:Oh,it's just a post for my personal blog.I research artists in my free time when the work at the lab isn't too busy.The piece I'm writing now is about Vincent van Gogh. W:I love his work!Who isn't amazed by The Starry Night?A true masterpiece! M:Funny enough,van Gogh himself wasn't pleased with that painting.He felt that it was too unrealistic.But I think it's very calming. W:The way he painted light was so unique in his time.His art must have been very popular then. M:Actually,he never found success while he was alive.He lived a hard life and died relatively young.It wasn't until after he passed away that his work was truly appreciated. W:He'd be happy to see how valuable it is now! Text 8 W:Where are you going for your holiday this year? M:I'm going to Turkey. W:Oh,I know Turkey very well.I used to work there as a tour guide before I came to our company. M:Did you?How did you get into that? W:Well,after university I wanted to work in the field of overseas development.But I needed to clock up some time living abroad so that they would take me seriously. Then I met someone who worked as a tour leader and he told me that his company was on the look-out for tour guides and that I ought to apply.I mean,it was a great chance to see some new places. M:It sounds like a perfect job. W:Well,it was and it wasn't.Turkey was great,the scenery,the food,the people.But it wasn't much fun knowing exactly what you will be doing,what you will be eating,even what you will be talking about every day for the next three months.It seemed my whole life was decided for me.I realized it was not what I was really into. I needed to be able to do my own thing and work on my own personal projects.So I left the job. Text 9 M:Hello,everyone,have you ever heard about the Sandwich Generation?Actually,this phrase has nothing to do with food or the people who make sandwiches.It refers to the generation caught in the middle,or in other words,it is the middle-aged people who support both their parents and children whether financially,physically or emotionally. According to the Healthy China 2030,the average life expectancy of Chinese people will reach 79 years which is 2 years longer than that in 2018.As people live longer,the Sandwich Generation is becoming more and more common. Becoming a part of the Sandwich Generation can affect your financial status,personal time,health,and career development.Although both men and women are involved, women are the ones who are primarily affected.Most women have common difficulties in dealing with various aspects including children,older parents,family,work,and personal well-being.Although they are encouraged to go into the workforce,nursery supply remains the biggest problem for them.But I don't think it is an unsolvable problem.In my opinion,if the government gives financial support to take care of children and parents,it will greatly reduce the burden on the Sandwich Generation. Text 10 I'm here today to tell you about my career as a writer. I wrote my first novel in 1987.I called it Sunset.However, it didn't come out until 1996,four years after my first published novel.After school,I went to university where I studied law.However,I never practiced law.I was lucky enough to get a holiday job on a local newspaper as a reporter,and I stayed there.This,of course,gave me lots of opportunities to improve my writing skills.I had my first novel published during that period.It was called Tango.It wasn't a great success,but it gave me useful contacts in the publishing world.My second novel,The Ballet Dancer,was much more successful.It even won a prize for new novelists.Since then,I've written three more novels and have also had a couple of collections of short stories published.At present,I'm experimenting with writing a play-The List.I feel I'm learning a great deal from this work... 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 参考答案。 21~25 ACBDB 26~30 ACBDB 31~35 CACDA 21.A【解析】根据第一段可推知，Titterton应学会 识谱才能成为翻页人。故选A。 22.C【解析】根据第三段可推知，Titterton在台上 翻页的这份工作是高要求的。故选C。 23.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段可知，翻页 人需要练习识别钢琴家的“点头”风格。故选B。 24.D【解析】根据最后一段可推知，Ms. Raspopova的丈夫经常忘记翻页，甚至要自己的妻子来 提醒，也因此被妻子认为是“最差劲的翻页人”。故选D。 25.B【解析】根据第一段可知作者对于戏剧饱含热 情。故选B。 26.A【解析】根据第二段可知，作者并不想指出这 本书中每一部戏剧的中心主题，因为那样确实会破坏阅 读、讨论和思考戏剧以及剧作家的乐趣。故选A。 27.C【解析】根据最后一段，作者建议读者试着想 象戏剧在舞台上上演，不再是读者而是成为观众，才能 实现最佳的阅读乐趣。故选C。 28.B【解析】根据第一段可知，应是书籍的“自 序”内容；再根据最后一段可知，是在讲述如何更好地 实现阅读乐趣，再结合全文内容可推知，作者通过该文 章介绍自己的一本书。故选B。 29.D【解析】根据第二段可知，科学家让志愿者做 测试是为了测试他们的心智能力。故选D。 30.B【解析】根据第四段可知，Francisca Then是 通过与“身体锻炼”作比较来解释她的发现的。故选B。 31.C【解析】第一段是本文的主题句，再结合全文 内容可知，本文介绍了有挑战性的工作可能会使大脑保 持敏捷。故选C。 32.A【解析】根据第二段可知，要成为一名专家， 了解到的知识领域会越来越少，会缩小他的知识范围。 故选A。 33.C【解析】根据第三段可知，这些专家往往把大 部分时间花在工作上。故选C。 34.D【解析】根据第五段可推断，作者想通过 Toi的例子说明看似不相关的兴趣，如果深人探索的 话，在某种程度上是有联系的。故选D。 35.A【解析】根据第一段中以及第四段可知，作者 的观点是应该当一个通才。因此文章的标题应为“Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist'”做一个通才，而不 是专家。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36~40 GCEFB 36.G【解析】根据空后“The biggest thing to remember when choosing a major is to stick with a subject hat interests you.”可知，本段主要谈论的是选择专业要 依据自己的兴趣来选。故选G。 37.C【解析】根据空后可知，本段主要讲述对专业 的选择要根据自己未来要挣多少钱来决定。故选C。 113 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） 38.E【解析】根据空后可知，此处强调的是工作要 有幸福感是重要的，“E.However,remember that your happiness is very important.但是，记住你的幸福是非常 重要的。”符合语境。故选E。 39.F【解析】根据空后可知，选择专业的同时要看 哪些学校能提供给你最好的学习条件和未来保障。故选F。 40.B【解析】根据空前可知，现在没有找到真正激 励自己的东西，不用慌，还有时间可以找到。故选B。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41~45 CADAB 46~50 ABCDA 51~55 BCBDD 41.C【解析】根据上文“I worked in a baking factory.我在一家烘培厂工作”，可知Hough Bakeries制 作蛋糕。故选C。 42.A【解析】此处表示生产的蛋糕是供应给工厂下 面的商店售卖的。故选A。 43.D【解析】根据下文“during our spring break” 在春假期间，可知作者是临时帮忙。故选D。 44.A【解析】句意：正好我们放春假的时候，市中 心的工厂需要八个孩子来帮忙，为此除了听我最喜欢的 唱片，我没有制定其他计划。故选A。 45.B【解析】minimum wage,法定最低工资，跟 工资搭配的是挣（钱）。故选B。 46.A【解析】去工厂打工，除了赚钱，也去观摩工 厂，因此wok符合题意。故选A。 47.B【解析】“我”还是个孩子，要去工厂打工， 首先得征求父母的同意。故选B。 48.C【解析】根据下文的“Place cakes on a moving belt.”可知这里是描述孩子们在工厂需要做的事情，即 他们的工作。故选C。 49.D【解析】兔子做好后，应从传送带上取下。故 选D。 50.A【解析】句意：这比听起来难多了。故选A。 5l.B【解析】根据上文的“a moving belt'”和“pile up”,可知是在流水线上工作，可推测蛋糕堆积是因为 工作速度慢。故选B。 52.C【解析】句意：就像我第一天晚餐时告诉父母 的那样，这比我想象的要有压力。故选C。 53.B【解析】根据上文可推知，父亲觉得儿子明白 了工作的压力，感到高兴，可推测父亲笑了。故选B。 54.D【解析】根据上文“The son of a grocer杂货 店老板的儿子”，可推知他帮助送货。故选D。 55.D【解析】根据上文可知，父亲叫儿子去打工， 希望能通过这个经历让儿子珍惜金钱，尊重他人，教他 人生道理。故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.whose 57.finest 58.be chosen 59.curiosity 60.When/As 61.pointed 62.to find 63.gently 64.surrounding 65.on 114 56.whose【解析】考查定语从句，且在从句中作定 语，故应用关系代词whose。.故填whose. 57.finest【解析】考查形容词。皇帝想要画家最好 的作品，表示“最好的”此处应用形容词最高级。故填 finest。 58.be chosen【解析】考查语态。he与谓语动词 choose构成被动关系，且would后跟动词原形。故填be chosen。 59.curiosity【解析】考查名词。with为介词，后跟 名词作宾语。故填curiosity。 60.When/As【解析】考查状语从句。本句为时间状 语从句，表示“当…时候”，且从句中动词asked为短 暂性动作动词，不能用while引导，故应用when或as 引导。故填When/As。 6l.pointed【解析】考查时态。根据上文“they smiled”的时态，可知应用一般过去时。故填pointed。 62.to find【解析】考查非谓语动词。set out to do sh.固定短语，“着手做某事”，后跟不定式作目的状 语。故填to find。 63.gently【解析】考查副词。此处修饰动词 moved,应用副词。故填gently。. 64.surrounding【解析】考查非谓语动词。分析句子 结构可知，此处是独立主格结构，surround与逻辑主语 clouds构成主动关系，应用现在分词。故填surrounding。 65.on【解析】考查介词。on earth固定短语，意为 “世上”。故填on。 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Generally speaking,artisans are people equipped with outstanding crafts in specific fields.Furthermore,they are highly praised for perseverance,dedication as well as continuous devotion put into work.Their spirit is regarded as craftsman's spirit.
