The following jobs have been longtime go-tos for many young adults. Lifeguard Because summer is the busiest season for pools and beaches, lots of summer jobs exist for strong swimmers. Lots of positions can be found at community and neighborhood pools, while those who live near the coastline can also find positions at public beaches. These jobs are a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy some fun in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $9.50. Camp Counselor (辅导员) Students, who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and overseeing fun, outdoor activities are often the perfect fit for camp counselor positions. Students studying science, for example, can work at a science camp, while those with a creative talent can work at an arts-focused summer program. The average hourly wage for camp counselors is $9.28, but those with years of experience or specific academic backgrounds may earn more. Sales Associate Students with a skill for persuasion and helpfulness often enjoy sales associate jobs. Students interested in business, finance or sales marketing often gravitate (被吸引) towards these roles, but they’re also a great fit for anyone seeking a low-pressure summer position or even just a discount at their favorite store. The average wage is $10.20 hourly. Food Server Although it may not seem like the greatest way to spend a summer, working as wait staff allows students to build their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals while working and familiarize themselves with different cuisines. The average salary is $9.00 hourly, but tips can raise that number hugely. 16．Being a lifeguard means you can ______.

Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (舞台的) art including music, performance, literature, aria (唱腔) and face painting. Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer bas no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 21．How long is the history of Beijing Opera? A．One hundred years. B．Two hundred years. C．Three hundred years. D．Four hundred years. 22．According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang? A．He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera. B．He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer. C．He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world. D．He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world. 23．Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera? A．There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera. B．Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts. C．Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms. D．Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera. 24．What does “charm” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese? A．Present B．Bore C．Attract D．Cheat 25．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the article? A．To show us the foreigners’ opinions. B．To introduce Mei Lanfang. C．To tell the differences between dramas. D．To introduce Beijing Opera. 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．B 24．C 25．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了京剧的历史、艺术特点、对外传播以及外国游客对京剧的感受，展现了京剧作为中国国粹的独特魅力与文化价值。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century.(它有着约200年的历史，是通过吸收众多其他戏剧形式发展而来的，其中大部分源自当地流行的18世纪在中国南方盛行的“徽班”戏剧)”可知，京剧的历史约为200年。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.(梅兰芳是有史以来最著名的表演者之一，他第一个将京剧介绍给外国人，并在国外进行了非常成功的巡演)”可知，作者认为梅兰芳在传播京剧方面发挥了重要作用。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据第二段“Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技).(包括京剧在内的中国传统戏剧是一种集念、唱、舞、杂技于一体的娱乐形式)”可知，京剧同时呈现唱、舞和念白部分。故选B。 24．词句猜测题。根据第四段“but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.(但你会被____并产生兴趣。即使你对京剧的戏剧背景一无所知，你也会被它深深吸引)”可知，京剧很有吸引力，charmed与划线词后文“attracted(吸引)”语义相近。故选C。 25．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章依次介绍了京剧的历史、艺术特点、对外传播和外国观众的感受，全文围绕京剧展开。由此推断，作者写作目的是介绍京剧，故选D。 C A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 26．How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A．By using different particle states. B．By improving chemical reactions. C．By adding more storage units. D．By reducing the battery size. 27．Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A．To make the conventional battery system efficient. B．To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C．To simplify the conventional charging process. D．To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 28．What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A．Their value remains to be proven. B．Their performance is difficult to judge. C．Their practical application is challenging. D．Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 29．What will Tan’s team probably do next? A．Put the battery into a quantum computer. B．Build a new classical heat engine. C．Make their charging methods better. D．Link the battery to a heat engine. 30．What is the main idea of the text? A．The status and future of conventional batteries. B．The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C．The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D．The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. 【答案】26．A 27．D 28．C 29．D 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了量子电池的储能原理、研究进展、潜在优势以及实际应用面临的挑战。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段“Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits. Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition.(传统电池通过化学反应储存能量。而量子电池则依赖一种叫作量子比特的微观粒子。这类电池不依靠化学物质，而是利用这些粒子同时处于多种状态的特性来储存能量——这种现象被称为叠加态)”可知，传统电池通过化学反应储能，量子电池依靠量子比特的粒子叠加态，即不同粒子状态的储能。故选A。 27．细节理解题。根据第五段“The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently(研究人员测试了两种不同的充电方法。一种工作方式类似于传统电池，而第二种则利用了量子比特之间的相互作用。该团队发现，第二种方法能让电池充电效率更高)”可知，团队测试两种充电方式是为了探索量子相互作用的优势。故选D。 28．细节理解题。根据第六段“Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear.(尽管这些实验室成果前景可观，但要将其转化为实际应用优势仍颇具挑战。 捷克查理大学的Dominik Safranek表示：“很难将传统电池与量子电池进行比较。”在他看来，从实验室突破走向日常消费产品的道路仍不明确)可知，Dominik Safranek认为量子电池实际应用具有挑战性。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine.(如今，研究人员想要将他们研制的电池与量子热机结合起来)”可知，团队下一步会将电池与量子热引擎连接。故选D。 30．主旨大意题。文章第一段“A quantum battery has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies.(研究人员在量子计算机中研制出了量子电池，这标志着人类在探索它未来能否为量子技术供电方面迈出了重要一步)”是主旨句，后文围绕量子电池的原理、潜力与应用挑战展开，说明它有优势但实用化仍面临困难，由此可知，文章主要讲述了量子电池的潜力与挑战。故选B。 D During the school year, Kacer works about 10 hours a week, juggling his job with school and cheerleading practice. But he hopes to pick up more shifts (轮班) this summer to earn extra spending money and to help his family save for his college tuition. Across the country, lawmakers are supprting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that — by loosening some child labor protections at the state level. Ohio and other states, for example, have proposed bills that would permit teens — with their parents’ permission — to work later at night, even on school days. In some states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, legislation would allow teens to take jobs in a wider range of industries, including construction. As businesses started reopening after the global crisis, many adults left low-wage jobs for better-paying ones. “Adult workers no longer want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,” Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, “so employers suddenly turned to youth.” Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. For starters, many teens must work in order to help their families make ends meet. A recent study also found that students with part-time jobs are more likely to earn higher wages in the future compared with classmates who don’t work. Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy. In addition, having a job instills responsibility in teens and could even lead to an eventual career. But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home. And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death. Charlie Wishman, president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, is against his state’s bill that would allow some teens to work in manufacturing (制造业) and meatpacking facilities. “Child labor should be limited and safe,” he told reporters. “Let kids be kids. There are plenty of job opportunities right now for kids to gain experience and learn responsibility without putting them in danger.” In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work, their education will suffer. Research shows that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can tire young people out and leave less time for studying. While states continue to debate changing their child labor laws, there is one thing that many people agree on: The country’s labor shortage, they say, could be largely solved if more employers offered better pay and benefits to adults. 31．What is the article mainly about? A．Whether Kacer should pick up more shifts this summer. B．How to solve labor shortage in manufacturing industry. C．Whether youth should be given more job opportunities. D．Why people disagree with changing the child labor laws. 32．Why do employers hire more teenagers after the global crisis? A．Because teenagers need to work to save money for further study. B．Because economic recovery creates new jobs suitable for teenagers. C．Because young employees can better cope with rude customers. D．Because adults turn to higher-paying jobs with better environment. 33．Which statement is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 4? A．Teens without work may earn less than their peers in the future. B．Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages. C．Young people can help support their families through working. D．Teenagers can learn to be responsible from working experience. 34．Which harmful effect of allowing teenagers to work more is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 5? A．Heavy work will leave students little time to explore interests. B．Going home late after work will pose a risk to kids’ safety. C．Students will gain working experience at the cost of study. D．Teenagers can get injured in dangerous work environment. 35．What is the author’s attitude towards loosening child labor protections? A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Neutral. D．Indifferent. 【答案】31．C 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲立法者正在为年轻人更多的工作机会，并就其利与弊进行了讨论。 31．主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Across the country, lawmakers are supprting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that --- by loosening some child labor protections at the state level. (在全国范围内，立法者正在支持新的立法，允许像Kacer这样的青少年这样做——通过放松州一级的一些童工保护。)”、第四段“Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. (一些专家表示，增加年轻人的工作机会是有好处的。)”和第五段“But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. (但修改法律的批评者担心，这样做可能会让孩子们处于危险之中。)”可知，文章主要就是否应该给年轻人更多的工作机会进行讨论分析。故选C项。 32．细节理解题。由文章第三段“‘Adult workers no longer want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,’ Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, ‘so employers suddenly turned to youth.’(研究青年劳动力的劳工专家Alicia Sasser Modestino告诉记者：‘成年工人不再想要这份疯狂的低薪服务工作，这份工作日程安排荒谬，福利少，顾客粗鲁，所以雇主突然转向了年轻人。’)”可知，全球危机后，雇主雇佣了更多的青少年，因为成年人转向了环境更好、薪水更高的工作。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。由文章第四段“Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy.(此外，专家补充说，有工作的青少年可能会花更多的钱，这有助于经济。)”可知，这里讲青少年花钱有助于经济而不是节约钱有助于经济。所以B项Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages.(工作的青少年通过节省工资为经济增长做出了贡献。)与文意不符合。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。由文章第五段“But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home. And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death. (但修改法律的批评者担心，这样做可能会让孩子们处于危险之中。他们说，青少年在深夜工作会引发安全问题，比如他们将如何回家。他们补充说，立法者希望向青少年开放的一些工作可能会使年轻人面临受伤或死亡的风险。)”可知，B、D项本段有所提及，再由“In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work, their education will suffer. Research shows that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can tire young people out and leave less time for studying.(此外，一些家长和教育工作者担心，如果青少年投入更多时间工作，他们的教育将受到影响。研究表明，在学年期间每周工作超过20小时会让年轻人疲惫不堪，留下更少的学习时间。)”可知，C项本段也有所提及，而A项Heavy work will leave students little time to explore interests.(繁重的工作会让学生几乎没有时间探索兴趣。)本段未提及。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。由文章第四段“Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. (一些专家表示，增加年轻人的工作机会是有好处的。)”和第五段“But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. (但修改法律的批评者担心，这样做可能会让孩子们处于危险之中。)”可知，作者从正反面讲述了放松对童工的保护法案的看法，所以作者的态度是中立的。故选C项。 三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 36 robots interviewing you when you go to the hospital or the doctor. They offer health advice and even criticize your bad health habits. Hospital robots have been working in some hospitals around the world for a while. Their job is to help out doctors and patients. These robots can talk with patients. Through eye contact and their sensors (传感器), they can know a patient’s 37 . They can also conduct a health survey with a new patient and answer 38 questions such as “How do I get a coffee?” and “Where is the exit?” Moreover, they make good companions for patients, young and old. Pepper is a hospital robot at a hospital in Australia. He looks a lot like a human. He is very 39 with the patients as well as the doctors. “If you’re not feeling comfortable enough to speak to someone 40 , you might feel a bit more comfortable talking to a robot,” Dr. Robinson, a doctor at the Australian hospital, said. “You won’t see Pepper trying to take someone’s blood pressure any time soon, but you just might see Pepper talking to someone about their blood pressure 41 .” People would ask Pepper: “Where can I smoke?”, and Pepper would respond: “Smoking is not allowed in the hospital.” He would then talk with you about how you can 42 smoking. However, according to Dr. Robinson, we will 43 see a hospital without doctors. We need doctors, and we need nurses to 44 people. The hospital robots cost tens of thousands of dollars, but, with mass production, they will become more affordable and, in the end, probably cheaper than 45 humans to do those jobs. 36．A．Make use of B．Keep up with C．Get along with D．Get ready for 37．A．experience B．mood C．record D．safety 38．A．simple B．strange C．difficult D．key 39．A．satisfied B．popular C．angry D．bored 40．A．in time B．in person C．in pairs D．in public 41．A．points B．marks C．conclusions D．results 42．A．take up B．give up C．keep up D．pick up 43．A．soon B．always C．never D．probably 44．A．care for B．deal with C．call on D．come across 45．A．ordering B．preferring C．teaching D．employing 【答案】 36．D 37．B 38．A 39．B 40．B 41．D 42．B 43．C 44．A 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了医院机器人能够帮助医生和病人。 36．考查动词短语辨析。句意：当你去医院或看医生时，准备好接受机器人面谈。A.

The following jobs have been longtime go-tos for many young adults. Lifeguard Because summer is the busiest season for pools and beaches, lots of summer jobs exist for strong swimmers. Lots of positions can be found at community and neighborhood pools, while those who live near the coastline can also find positions at public beaches. These jobs are a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy some fun in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $9.50. Camp Counselor (辅导员) Students, who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and overseeing fun, outdoor activities are often the perfect fit for camp counselor positions. Students studying science, for example, can work at a science camp, while those with a creative talent can work at an arts-focused summer program. The average hourly wage for camp counselors is $9.28, but those with years of experience or specific academic backgrounds may earn more. Sales Associate Students with a skill for persuasion and helpfulness often enjoy sales associate jobs. Students interested in business, finance or sales marketing often gravitate (被吸引) towards these roles, but they’re also a great fit for anyone seeking a low-pressure summer position or even just a discount at their favorite store. The average wage is $10.20 hourly. Food Server Although it may not seem like the greatest way to spend a summer, working as wait staff allows students to build their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals while working and familiarize themselves with different cuisines. The average salary is $9.00 hourly, but tips can raise that number hugely. 16．Being a lifeguard means you can ______. A．work indoors only B．work near your home C．have fun with your friends D．work without certifications 17．What do you know about the camp counselor job?

B Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (舞台的) art including music, performance, literature, aria (唱腔) and face painting. Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer bas no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 21．How long is the history of Beijing Opera? A．One hundred years. B．Two hundred years. C．Three hundred years. D．Four hundred years. 22．According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang? A．He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera. B．He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer. C．He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world. D．He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world. 23．Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera? A．There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera. B．Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts. C．Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms. D．Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera. 24．What does “charm” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese? A．Present B．Bore C．Attract D．Cheat 25．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the article? A．To show us the foreigners’ opinions. B．To introduce Mei Lanfang. C．To tell the differences between dramas. D．To introduce Beijing Opera. C A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 26．How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A．By using different particle states. B．By improving chemical reactions. C．By adding more storage units. D．By reducing the battery size. 27．Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A．To make the conventional battery system efficient. B．To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C．To simplify the conventional charging process. D．To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 28．What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A．Their value remains to be proven. B．Their performance is difficult to judge. C．Their practical application is challenging. D．Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 29．What will Tan’s team probably do next? A．Put the battery into a quantum computer. B．Build a new classical heat engine. C．Make their charging methods better. D．Link the battery to a heat engine. 30．What is the main idea of the text? A．The status and future of conventional batteries. B．The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C．The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D．The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. D During the school year, Kacer works about 10 hours a week, juggling his job with school and cheerleading practice. But he hopes to pick up more shifts (轮班) this summer to earn extra spending money and to help his family save for his college tuition. Across the country, lawmakers are supprting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that — by loosening some child labor protections at the state level. Ohio and other states, for example, have proposed bills that would permit teens — with their parents’ permission — to work later at night, even on school days. In some states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, legislation would allow teens to take jobs in a wider range of industries, including construction. As businesses started reopening after the global crisis, many adults left low-wage jobs for better-paying ones. “Adult workers no longer want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,” Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, “so employers suddenly turned to youth.” Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. For starters, many teens must work in order to help their families make ends meet. A recent study also found that students with part-time jobs are more likely to earn higher wages in the future compared with classmates who don’t work. Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy. In addition, having a job instills responsibility in teens and could even lead to an eventual career. But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home. And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death. Charlie Wishman, president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, is against his state’s bill that would allow some teens to work in manufacturing (制造业) and meatpacking facilities. “Child labor should be limited and safe,” he told reporters. “Let kids be kids. There are plenty of job opportunities right now for kids to gain experience and learn responsibility without putting them in danger.” In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work, their education will suffer. Research shows that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can tire young people out and leave less time for studying. While states continue to debate changing their child labor laws, there is one thing that many people agree on: The country’s labor shortage, they say, could be largely solved if more employers offered better pay and benefits to adults. 31．What is the article mainly about? A．Whether Kacer should pick up more shifts this summer. B．How to solve labor shortage in manufacturing industry. C．Whether youth should be given more job opportunities. D．Why people disagree with changing the child labor laws. 32．Why do employers hire more teenagers after the global crisis? A．Because teenagers need to work to save money for further study. B．Because economic recovery creates new jobs suitable for teenagers. C．Because young employees can better cope with rude customers. D．Because adults turn to higher-paying jobs with better environment. 33．Which statement is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 4? A．Teens without work may earn less than their peers in the future. B．Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages. C．Young people can help support their families through working. D．Teenagers can learn to be responsible from working experience. 34．Which harmful effect of allowing teenagers to work more is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 5?
