三、阅读(共两节,26–45,35分)
第一节 阅读理解(26–40,每题2分,共30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握大意,然后从26-40各题所给的A、B、C、D项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many people think hobbies are just ways to kill spare time, but in fact, hobbies have a close connection with our future careers. A good hobby can guide us to find a suitable job and help us achieve success in our life.
Hobbies show our true passion and personality. If a person loves painting and keeps practicing every day, he is usually patient and creative. These good qualities are exactly what a designer or painter needs. If someone likes communicating with others and organizing activities, he may be suitable for jobs like teachers, hosts or managers. Our hobbies slowly shape our abilities and make us different from others.
Moreover, hobbies let us keep learning and improving ourselves. Unlike school study which is forced sometimes, hobbies are things we choose to do willingly. We will spend lots of time and energy on our hobbies without feeling tired. For example, a student who loves programming will keep learning new coding skills in his free time. This self-learning ability is very important for future work.
Many successful people’s careers come from their childhood hobbies. A famous writer once said that his love for reading and writing in childhood laid the foundation of his writing career. A professional photographer started taking photos as a hobby at 12, and finally turned it into his lifelong job.
However, hobbies cannot replace hard work. Having an interest is the first step, but persistence and continuous learning are the key to turning hobbies into successful careers. A casual hobby can only bring short-term happiness, but a persistent interest can light up our future road.
26. What do many people think of hobbies at first?
A. They can help us find jobs.
B. They are just for killing spare time.
C. They can shape our personality.
D. They are the key to success.
27. What quality will a painting lover probably have?
A. Outgoing. B. Patient. C. Strict. D. Careless.
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. School study is always unwilling for students.
B. Hobbies can help us develop self-learning ability.
C. All hobbies can turn into successful careers.
D. Hard work is less important than hobbies.
29. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to Develop Good Hobbies
B. The Differences between Hobbies and Jobs
C. The Connection between Hobbies and Careers
D. Successful People’s Childhood Hobbies
B
Can we turn our hobbies into careers? This is a question many young people ask. We interviewed three experts from different fields, and they shared their professional opinions.
Ms. Li, a career planner
Turning hobbies into jobs is possible but not easy. First, you need to tell the difference between casual hobbies and professional hobbies. Loving singing in daily life is a casual hobby, but mastering singing skills, knowing music theory and keeping professional training is a professional hobby. If you want to take your hobby as a job, you must turn simple interest into professional ability. Besides, you need to consider the market demand. A hobby without market value can only stay a hobby forever.
Mr. Wang, a creative industry manager
Many young people are passionate about creative hobbies like video editing, handcraft making and graphic design. These hobbies have great career potential. But young people should know that hobby is fun, while career is responsibility. When your hobby becomes your job, you have to face deadlines, customer requirements and work pressure. You may even feel tired of your once favourite thing. So you need strong love and perseverance to stick to it.
Dr. Zhang, a psychological professor
Hobbies bring us happiness, while careers bring us income and sense of achievement. If you can combine them together, you will have a happy working state. But we should not force all hobbies to become careers. Some hobbies are just for relaxing ourselves. We can keep them as pure enjoyment to balance our busy work and life. The best life state is having a stable career and several relaxing hobbies.
All three experts agree that interest is the best motivation for work. Whether we turn hobbies into careers or not, keeping good interests can always make our life more wonderful.
30. What does Ms. Li advise young people to do first?
A. Learn to balance work and hobbies.
B. Turn casual hobbies into professional abilities.
C. Give up hobbies without market value.
D. Learn more relaxing hobbies.
31. What problem may young people face when hobbies become jobs?
A. No professional training chances.
B. Less time to develop new hobbies.
C. Work pressure and tiredness of the hobby.
D. No market demand for their skills.
32. What is Dr. Zhang’s opinion?
A. All hobbies can be turned into good careers.
B. Hobbies are more important than careers.
C. We should force hobbies to bring us income.
D. Some hobbies are just for life relaxation.
33. What do the three experts all agree on?
A. It is easy to turn hobbies into careers.
B. Good interests are beneficial to our life.
C. Creative hobbies are the best career choice.
D. We should not mix hobbies with work.
C
Gina is a young environmental scientist, and her career comes from her childhood love for nature. When Gina was a little girl, she loved staying outdoors. She used to walk in the park, watch insects grow and observe plant changes in different seasons. She was always curious about all natural things around her.
At the age of ten, she read a popular science book about nature protection. The book told her that many wild animals and plants were in danger because of human activities. She felt very sad and made up her mind to protect nature. From then on, her simple love for nature turned into a clear dream.
Gina kept her interest all the time. In middle school, she took every science class seriously and joined the school nature protection group. She took part in many outdoor investigation activities, learned to record plant data and studied environmental protection knowledge. She often used her spare time to pick up rubbish in the community park and called on people to protect green plants.
When she entered university, she chose environmental science as her major. She worked hard on her professional study and took part in lots of field research. After graduation, she became an environmental scientist. Now she leads a team to study urban ecological protection and help people build greener living environments.
Gina says her interest in nature has changed her life. “Interest gives me endless motivation. I never feel tired of my work because I truly love it. Turning my childhood hobby into my lifelong career is the luckiest thing for me. I will keep working hard to protect our beautiful nature.”
34. What did Gina love doing when she was little?

Finding a suitable job is very important for everyone, and your personal interests are the best guide for job hunting. A suitable job can make you work happily and improve quickly, while an unsuitable one will make you feel tired and hopeless. Here are some useful ways to find the right job for you.
First, know your true interests clearly. Many people only have vague hobbies and cannot tell what they really like. You can list all your daily hobbies and find the things you are willing to stick to without pressure. The things you love doing most in spare time often relate to your suitable jobs.
Second, know your advantages and abilities. Interest is important, but ability is the foundation of work. If you love painting but have no basic painting skills, you cannot take painting as your job. You need to combine your interest with your personal strengths. Improve your relevant skills constantly to match your ideal job.
Third, try different experiences. Don’t stick to one single interest when you are young. You can take part in different volunteer activities, part-time jobs and club activities. These experiences let you know different jobs and help you find what you are really good at and interested in.
Finally, adjust your expectations properly. There is no perfect job. Even your dream job has challenges and pressure. You need to keep learning and growing with your job. As long as the job matches your main interests and can let you grow, it is a good choice for you.
38. What is the best guide for finding a suitable job?
A. Family advice. B. Personal interests. C. High income . D. Social fame.
39. What is the foundation of getting an ideal job?
A. Vague hobbies. B. Good work environment.
C. Personal abilities . D. Low work pressure.
40. How many suggestions does the writer give?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five . D. Six.

A school did a survey among 500 Grade 7 students about hobbies and their future career plans last month. The survey results show that most students have clear hobbies, and many of them want to turn their hobbies into future careers.
According to the survey, 68% of students have fixed daily hobbies. The most popular hobbies among students are reading, sports, painting and music. 45% of the students hope to work in fields related to their hobbies. 30% of students just take hobbies as daily relaxation and have no plan to turn them into careers. 25% of students have no clear hobbies or career plans.
The survey also finds some problems. Many students like certain hobbies, but they are not willing to make efforts to improve relevant skills. They only enjoy the fun of hobbies but refuse professional training. Besides, some students change their hobbies very often. They cannot stick to one interest for a long time, so it is hard for them to form professional abilities.
The school teacher in charge of the survey said, “Hobbies are important for teenagers’ growth. Students should keep their good hobbies, stick to them and keep learning relevant skills. Only by persistence can they turn interests into lifelong strengths and career advantages.”
51. How many students took part in the survey?
