Passage 3
Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
Q: When did you start?
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers?
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”
Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi?
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!
Q: _____5_____
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part-waiting.
1.Fiona McIntyre thinks being a taxi driver is more ________ than being a bus driver.
A.independent B.exciting C.comfortable D.satisfying
2.The famous actor missed his plane because ________.
A.Fiona didn’t drive well B.Fiona wasn’t very polite
C.there was too much traffic D.there were too many fans
3.Passengers left the following things EXCEPT ________ on Fiona’s taxi.
A.suitcases B.mobile phones C.false teeth D.umbrellas
4.The underlined ward “him” in Fiona’s answer to the third question refers to ________.
A.the skeleton B.the doctor C.the professor D.the student
5.Which of the following questions best fits Blank 5?
A.What do you think of the future of a taxi driver?
B.What do you think is the worst part of your job?
C.What do you do when there are no passengers?
D.What do you do when you’re waiting for passengers?
6.According to the interview, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.Fiona has worked as a taxi driver since five years ago.
B.Sometimes passengers may leave their pets in Fiona’s taxi.
C.Fiona doesn’t like driving around without a passenger most.

【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.B 6.C
【分析】本文是通讯报道,短文通过对菲奥娜的采访,介绍了她的工作和一些经历。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据“Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi”,可知她认为当出租车司机比当公共汽车司机更自由,independent“自主的”符合题意,故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans”,可知该演员误了飞机是因为交通太拥挤了,故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据“People have left all kinds of things-a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once”,可知乘客们没有把雨伞丢在菲奥娜的出租车上,故选D。
4.词句猜测题。根据下文解释“the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all”,可知菲奥娜让医生先付车费,“him”指的是那位医生,故选B。
5.主旨大意题。根据她的陈述,结合“I think that’s the worst part-waiting”,可知问题是“工作中最糟糕的事情是什么”,“What do you think is the worst part of your job”符合段意,故选B。
6.推理判断题。根据“I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part — waiting”,可知菲奥娜最不喜欢的不是独自开车,而是等待;“Fiona doesn’t like driving around without a passenger most”表述错误,故选C。
Passage 4
Mapping out the future
Last summer, my parents and I took a drive to another state. Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also packed our GPS. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of the area and got us back or track in no time. It made me wonder: Who created maps in the first place? After some searching online, I learned that the people responsible for mapping out roads, mountains, oceans, and other places around the world are called cartographers. I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found:
What does a cartographer do?
Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret(诠释)geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the globe. Some of these maps are digital. They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.
What does it take to be a cartographer?
Most cartographers have a bachelors(学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography, geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.
With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.
How much do cartographers make?
The average yearly salary for cartographers is $54,000. The lowest 10 percent earns less than $32,000. The top 10 percent cams more than $92,000.
________
In the U.S., job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow. This is due to the increasing use of maps in the armed forces. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.
Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost. I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer!
1.In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to _______.
A.prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another place
B.show that it is important to pack snacks for a trip
C.provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is important
D.show that the GPS is not always reliable
2.The author talked about cartographers from ________ aspects.
A.three B.four C.five D.six
3.Surveyors can do all these following things except _________.
A.do ground surveys B.collect information
C.do some mapping D.do some measuring
4.Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $34,000. Every year, her salary increases by $1,500. If she continues in this position, her salary will be _________ for her 12th year of work.
A.of the lowest 10 percent B.of the top 10 percent
C.of average D.below average
5.What best fits the blank?
A.Will more cartographers be needed?
B.Will the cartographers be replaced by robots?
C.Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs?
D.Why do cartographers make different maps?
6.The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on _________.
A.influential jobs for computermen
B.career possibilities for people who dislike maths
C.famous explorers and mapmakers
D.career choosing for people interested in geography
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.A 6.D
【分析】文章主要通过作者一家在一次旅行途中,偏离了路线,后来在GPS的帮助下,他们很快回到了正常的路线上,从而引出地图制作者的相关介绍,并介绍了关于地图制作者的四个方面。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据“But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of the area and got us back or track in no time.”以及整段的描述可知,主要是说明为什么地图制作者的工作是重要的,故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据“What does a cartographer do?”以及“What does it take to be a cartographer?”以及“How much do cartographers make?”以及文中空格部分可知,一共介绍了四个部分,故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据“Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.”可知,有些人自己做地面调查。然而,大多数制图员依靠测量员获取这一重要信息。测量员为制图收集信息。他们测量土地,空气空间和水域,因此只有C项没有提及。故选C。
4.数字计算题。根据“The average yearly salary for cartographers is $54,000.”可知,制图员的平均年薪是54000美元,再根据题干信息,起薪是$34,000,每年增加$1,500,因此第十二年的工资就是$52,000,因此是低于平均年薪的。故选D。
5.最佳标题题。根据“In the U.S., job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow.”可知,在美国,制图师的就业机会预计会增加。因此A项“需要更多的地图制作者吗”符合语境。故选A。
6.推理判断题。根据全文可知,文章主要介绍了关于地图制作者的四个方面,分别是:地图制作者是做什么的,怎样才能成为一名制图师,制图师能挣多少钱,以及将来会需要更多的地图制作者吗,是面向地理爱好者的一个职业选择的方向,故选D。

Passage 3
Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
Q: When did you start?
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers?
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”
Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi?
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!
Q: _____5_____
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part-waiting.
1.Fiona McIntyre thinks being a taxi driver is more ________ than being a bus driver.
A.independent B.exciting C.comfortable D.satisfying
2.The famous actor missed his plane because ________.
A.Fiona didn’t drive well B.Fiona wasn’t very polite
C.there was too much traffic D.there were too many fans
3.Passengers left the following things EXCEPT ________ on Fiona’s taxi.
A.suitcases B.mobile phones C.false teeth D.umbrellas
4.The underlined ward “him” in Fiona’s answer to the third question refers to ________.
A.the skeleton B.the doctor C.the professor D.the student
5.Which of the following questions best fits Blank 5?
A.What do you think of the future of a taxi driver?
B.What do you think is the worst part of your job?
C.What do you do when there are no passengers?
D.What do you do when you’re waiting for passengers?
6.According to the interview, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.Fiona has worked as a taxi driver since five years ago.
B.Sometimes passengers may leave their pets in Fiona’s taxi.
C.Fiona doesn’t like driving around without a passenger most.
D.Fiona doesn’t think that the famous actor was polite.
Passage 4
Mapping out the future
Last summer, my parents and I took a drive to another state. Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also packed our GPS. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of the area and got us back or track in no time. It made me wonder: Who created maps in the first place? After some searching online, I learned that the people responsible for mapping out roads, mountains, oceans, and other places around the world are called cartographers. I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found:
What does a cartographer do?
Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret(诠释)geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the globe. Some of these maps are digital. They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.
What does it take to be a cartographer?
Most cartographers have a bachelors(学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography, geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.
With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.
How much do cartographers make?
The average yearly salary for cartographers is $54,000. The lowest 10 percent earns less than $32,000. The top 10 percent cams more than $92,000.
________
In the U.S., job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow. This is due to the increasing use of maps in the armed forces. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.
Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost. I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer!
1.In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to _______.
A.prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another place
B.show that it is important to pack snacks for a trip
C.provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is important
D.show that the GPS is not always reliable
2.The author talked about cartographers from ________ aspects.
A.three B.four C.five D.six
3.Surveyors can do all these following things except _________.
A.do ground surveys B.collect information
C.do some mapping D.do some measuring
4.Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $34,000. Every year, her salary increases by $1,500. If she continues in this position, her salary will be _________ for her 12th year of work.
A.of the lowest 10 percent B.of the top 10 percent
C.of average D.below average
5.What best fits the blank?
A.Will more cartographers be needed?
B.Will the cartographers be replaced by robots?
C.Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs?
D.Why do cartographers make different maps?
6.The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on _________.
A.influential jobs for computermen
B.career possibilities for people who dislike maths
C.famous explorers and mapmakers
D.career choosing for people interested in geography
