Schedule abundant interviews Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads,using search firms,contacting companes tirectly, surfing the Web,and networking.Even if a job is not perfect for you,every interview can make you learn from it. 斯2节-共10顶 Follow up Even if someone does not hire you,write them a thank-you note for the interview.Then.some weeks later,send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for-or any other position,for that matteris open.Do this with every position you interview for,and you may just catch a break. Make it your full-time job You can't find a job by looking infrequently.You have to make time for it.If you're unemployed and looking for a job,devote as much time as you would to a full-time job.If you have a job while you're looking,figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time. Network vertically In the research phase of your job hunt,talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They'll have some insights that people at your own level won't have,and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired. Keep your spirits up Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do.Maintain your confidence,stay persistent,and think positively,and eventually you will get a job that suits you. 51.According to the author,your job-hunting plan had better be as as possible. A.random B.clear C.fixed D.complex 52.The“search firms''are most probably」 A.companies that have vacant posts available B.companies that supply website-search service C.companies that provide job-hunting service D.companies that study job market and employment rate 53.When hunting ajob,you'd better communicate with people on a level above you because A.they will hire you soon B.they will ask someone to hire you C.you will benefit from their fame D.you can learn from them 54.As indicated in the passage,in order to get a suitable job,you should A.always keep an optimistic spirit B.mainly focus on a full-time job C.apply for one job at one time D.follow other people's footsteps 55.What is the best title for this passage? A.Interview Strategies B.Interview Ceremony C.Job-hunting Experience D.Job-hunting Strategies B "Keep your eyes on the road ahead,"my driving instructor said."You go in the direction you look."I remembered the remark several years later,when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers.We'd been writing separately,not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. .二英语第5页共10页 One day,Mom suggested we write a romance novel together.She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns,since there'd always be something to build from.The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try.Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun.We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists()and turns had taken place while we werc gone.We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers.Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up():Where's the romance?Sorry,not for us.From experience,we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment:Start a second book.Once finished,we bravely sent off our second effort-and did no better.Then the third...After yet another rejection,Mom grew disheartened,wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor's words came back to me.I said,"Maybe we ought to look where we're going."I continued,"It's like driving.We've taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together.We want to be published,sure,but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy." "You're right."Mom let out a long breath."I haven't been having fun for quite a while.Maybe we should write something we truly love.You know,we only started writing romances because they're popular.There's no real heart in our stories.” The SkyHorse,our young adult novel,was published last year. 56.How did the author feel about writing with her mother?

D.Spreading joy through writing. c What makes babies laugh?It sounds like onc of the most fun questions a researcher could investigate,but there's a serious scientific reason why Caspar Addyman wants to find out. He's not the first to ask this question.The great psychologist()of human development,Jean Piaget, thought that babies laughter could be used to see into their minds.Studying when babies laugh might therefore be a great way of gaining insight into how they understand the world,he reasoned.But although he suggested this in the 1940s,this idea remains to be properly tested.Despite the fact that some very famous investigators have studied the topic,it hasn't been given enough attention by modern psychology. Addyman,of Birkbeck,University of London,is out to change that.He believes we can use laughter to get how babies understand the world exactly.He's completed the world's largest and most comprehensive survey of what makes babies laugh,presenting his initial results at the International Conference on Infant Studies,Berlin,last year.Via his website he surveyed more than 1,000 parents from around the world,asking them questions about when,where and why their babies laugh. The results are heart-warming.A baby's first smile comes at about six weeks,their first laugh at about three and a half months..Peekaboo(躲猫猫)is a guaranteed favourite for making babies laugh,but tickling(挠痒)is the singie.most reportea reason why babies laugh. Importantly,,from the very first chuckle(低声轻笑)，the survey responses show that babies are laughing with other people,and at what they do.The mere physical sensation of something being ticklish isn't enough.Nor is it enough to see something disappear or appear suddenly.It's only funny when an adult makes these things happen for the baby.This shows that way before babies walk,or talk,they-and their laughterare social.If you tickle a baby they apparently laugh because you are tickling them,not just because they are tickled. What's more,babies don't tend to laugh at people falling over.They are far more likely to laugh when they fall over,rather than someone else,or when other people are happy,rather than when they are sad or unpleasantly surprised.Although parents report that boy babies laugh slightly more than girl babies,both genders (find mummy and daddy equally funny. In spite of the scientific potential,baby laughter is"strangely ignored,according to Addyman.Part of the reason is the difficulty of making babies laugh reliably in the lab,although he plans to deal with this in the next stage of the project.But partly the topic has been ignored,he says,because it isn't viewed as a subject for"proper"science to look into.This is a prejudice Addyman hopes to overturn-for him,the study of laughter is certainly no joke. 61.The psychologist Jean Piaget held the belief that A.even a good joke could not be got across to babies B.his theory about laughter would be proved in the end C.studying babies'laughter helped to know how they understand the world D.babies'laughter could be used to find out whether their brains functioned well 62.The underlined word'that"in Paragraph 3 refers to A.the present situation of Birkbeck. B.the study conducted by Jean Padget 高二英语第7页共10页 C.thinking little of modem psychology D.ignoring the research into babies'laughter 63.When do babies first laugh out loud according to the survey? A.Al about three and a nalt months old. B.At about six weeks old. C.At one year old. D.At two months old. 64.The result of the survey undertakenby Addyman show that A.babies are likely to laugh at people falling over B.babies enjoy laughing when they see others feel sad C.baby girls always laugh mbre than baby boys D.babies and their laughter are social in a way 65.From the last paragraph,it can be concluded that for Addyman, A.babies'laughter is well worth studying B nobody should play jokes on babies C.babies'laughter is not a real science subject D.scientists can get reliable information only in the lab D At his school in ancient Athens,Aristotle encouraged everyone to walk through the gardens while discussing ideas,rather than sitting quietly for lectures.Teachers and students would explore questions,challenge each other's thinking,and build on each other's insights.This tradition of walking and wondering together became so successful that it continued for centuries,influencing how knowledge was shared throughout the ancient world. Yet today we rarely create space for such collective curiosity.While we have unlimited access to information, we're often too busy,too distracted,or too preoccupied with immediate results to engage in shared exploration.Plus, our education and workplaces usually prioritize individual achievement over group discovery. This is unfortunate,as exploring together can lead to remarkable outcomes.When you share your questions with others,you can create new possibilities that none of you could have imagined alone. History often paints a romantic picture of the lone genius-the solitary(inventor in their workshop,the lone scientist in their lab,the writer alone in their small room...These stories are engaging but incomplete:individual brilliance is rarely enough for breakthrough innovation. The Wright brothers didn't invent flight only by themselves;they extensively corresponded with fellow aviation (航空)enthusiasts..The Human Genome Project,.which successfully mapped our genetic code(遗传密码)，wasn't the work of a single brilliant mind,but rather a massive team effort where thousands of scientists shared their questions,challenges,and discoveries. Collective curiosity is the practice of exploring questions and discovering answers together,where we build on each other's insights and create an environment that encourages open inquiry and shared learning. Many resist collective curiosity for understandable reasons.In competitive workplaces,admitting uncertainty can feel risky.Time pressures push us toward quick solutions.You might worry that asking questions might make you seem indecisive.Yet,those who welcome a shared,generative state of unknowing often find it leads to better outcomes. When we practice collective curiosity,every conversation becomes a chance to leamn something new.So let me ask:which questions will you and your team explore today,together? 66.What did Aristotle's teaching method value? A.Friendly competition B.Lecture-based learning C.Strict academic discipline. D.Active thought exchange. 67.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Disadvantages of modemn education. B.Concerns about immediate results. C.Roots ofreduced collective curiosity. D.Barriers to individual achievements. 68.What is the author's attitude to the stories of lone geniuses? A.Tolerant. B.Objective. C.Critical. D.Favorable 69.Why does the author mention the Wright brothers and the Human Genome Project? A.To emphasize the challenges faced by inventors and scientists. B.To provide examples of major scientific and technological achievements. C.To explain how competitions encourage faster problem solving. D To illustrate the importance of teamwork and shared curiosity. 10.What restricts shared exploration in workplaces? A.Lack ot common goals. B.Fear of appearing incapable. C.The indecision of team leaders. D.The desire to ease pressure quickly. Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：（共2小节；满分35分）》 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball.I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids and threw jump shots over their heads.The boys always tried to stop her,but never could. I began to notice her at other times,on that same blacktop(柏油路)，playing alone一sometimes until dark. One day,I asked her why she practiced so much.Without a moment of hesitation,she said:The only way I ean go to college is that I get a scholarship.I like basketball.IfI'm good enough,I can get a scholarship." She was determined.I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.But one time in her senior year,I saw her sitting in the grass,her head cradled in her arms.Quietly,I asked what was wrong.'I am just too short,"came a soft reply.The coach told her that,at 5'5"(about 165 cm),she would probably never get to play for a top-ranked team-much less offered a scholarship. She was bummed out.I asked her to talk to her dad about it.Her father told her that those coaches were wrong -they just did not understand the power of a dream.Nething could stop her,except one thing:her own attitude.He told her,"If the dream is big enough,the facts don'tcount." The next year,when she and her team went to the Northern Califomia Championship game,she was noticed by a college recruiter.She was indeed offered a scholarship to a women's basketball team.She finally got what she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.And that little girl ended up having more playing time than any other woman in the history of the university. During her junior year of college,her father-her hero,died.The following years were hard for her.The grief she felt over the loss of her father was always there.She struggled daily with fear,doubt,and frustration.However, every time she wanted to quit,she remembered her father's last words:"Rachel,keep dreaming.Don't let your dream die.If the dream is big enough,you can do anything!" She completed her degree.It took her six years,but she didn't give up.She can still be found sometimes as the sun is setting,bouncing a basketball.And often I hear her tell others,"If the dream is big enough,the facts don't count.” 71.Why did Rachel practise playing basketball so much?(no more than 10 words) 72.How did Rachel feel after hearing her coach's words?(1 word) 73.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?(no more than 15 words) 74.What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?(no more than 10 words) 75.How did you deai with any obstacles when trying to achieve a goal?Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 76.你校英文报正在进行正文比赛。请你以Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do(艰难的时光终将 过去，坚强的人必将苦尽甘来)”为题，写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.对困难的认识： 2.你的个人经历； 3.表达你的期望。 注意：1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do 2026-2027学年第一学期高二年级第一次阶段性检测英语试卷(2026.10) 参考答案 听力： 1-5CBCAA 6-10CBABA 11-15CABAC 单项选择：16-20 CDACA 21-25CDBCC 26-30 BDABB 完形填空：31-35 BACAD 36-40 DBACC 41-45BDBAD 46-50 DCACB 阅读理解：51-55 BCDAD 56-60 BCADB 61-65 CDADA 66-70 DCCDB 阅读表达： 71.To go to college by getting a scholarship. 72.Heartbroken/Discouraged./Sad./Disappointed. 73.Believe in yourself and your dream,even if the facts suggested otherwise. 74.Rachel struggled to pursue her dream after her father's death. 75.No matter what difficulties and challenges I encountered,I remained determined in my beliefs and goals 76.书面表达 Hardships are an inevitable component of life.Despite the fact that severe difficulties may knock us down temporarily,they will never linger forever.Only those equipped with perseverance can survive dark periods and harvest inner growth. Take my own experience as an example.When preparing for the school speech contest,I was stricken with severe stage fright.Trembling and forgetting lines,I failed in the first rehearsal. Rather than abandoning my goal,I practiced day in and day out,adjusting my tone and gestures again and again.Eventually,I delivered the speech smoothly and won recognition from the audience. Just as the saying goes,tough times never last but tough people do.I hope we can maintain faith when trapped in adversity.If we persist and keep moving forward,all hardships will turn into treasures for our future life.
