My first job out of college laid me off after just a few years. It was part of a cruel recombination and lots of my co-workers also lost their jobs. Part of our severance package （解 雇补偿金）was a career consulting service but I didn't want anything to do with it. I was depressed, and blamed myself for not being good enough. I was convinced I was a terrible worker and no company would ever want to hire me again.

About a month after the layoff, I was suffering greatly when a career coach from the consulting company called and told me to just come in and talk to him. When I said I thought it was a waste of time, he told me to trust him and just try it. Plus it was already paid for, so what did I have to lose?

I went in and met with him. Not only did he totally revise my resume but he gave me a ton of good advice. He helped me see how unhappy I'd been in my previous position and that I really wanted to focus on a different area in my field. I ended up going to graduate school on his advice to get an advanced degree in a more specialised area. My new resume also got me a lot of interviews and within a couple of months I was in a graduate program for professionals and working at an amazing job. It's been nearly 10 years and now I dare say that trusting that career coach was the best choice that I've ever made.

24. How did the author feel about his job prospects after being laid off?

A. Optimistic.  B. Hopeless. C. Unconcerned.    D. Doubtful.

25. Why did the author decide to meet with the coach?

A. Jobs were hard to find. B. He had nothing to lose.

C. He suffered depression. D. It was a must for a new job.

26. How did the career coach help the author?

A. By offering him a new job.

B. By giving him an advanced degree.

C. By providing him with a job interview,

D. By helping with his resume and career planning.

27. What did the author learn from the experience?

A. Trust has power. B. Hard work counts.

C. Practice makes perfect. D. Success comes with patience.

C

Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.

However, that conies at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74,505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft’s total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.

Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a "great job-creating machine". For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants ； welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.

The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence?” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.

28. What does the underlined word “slashed”  in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Cut. B. Increased.                C. Counted. D. Predicted.

29. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?

A. Introduce a view. B. Prove a theory.

C. State the opposite. D. Draw a conclusion.

30. What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology?

A. Farmers. B. Washers. C. Miners. D. Teachers

31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Is technology leading us nowhere?

B. Is technological progress real progress?

C. Does technology destroy or create jobs?

D. Does technology bring convenience to humans?

D

In a small tent in the middle of Panama's rainforest, Aaron Pomerantz, a biologist at the University of California , set up a field lab filled with microscopes and other lab equipment. He was looking for something nearly invisible —transparent （透明的）butterflies known as glasswings.

The glasswing butterfly, a baseball-size flier that lives throughout Central and South America, is one of hundreds of butterfly species with transparent wings. This rare adaptation helps it escape potential dangers. Compared with other see-through species, such as dragonflies, glasswings are even more skilled at flying through the rainforest unnoticed because their wings don't shine in sunlight.

Patel, Pomerantz's Ph. D adviser, has a lifelong interest in glasswings. To understand what makes the glasswings so mysterious, he asked a group of graduate students to take microscopic images of the wings of a dozen or so species of transparent butterflies.

A butterfly's wings are made up of a thin layer of a natural polymer （聚合物）,which is typically covered with tiny scales （鳞屑）.Species with transparent wings have found ways to move light around these scales by producing fewer of them, turning them straight up, or simply getting rid of them. The group found that glasswings not only produce fewer scales, but they also change many of those scales into hair, allowing light to pass through the wings more easily. In addition, the waxy coating slows down light that passes through the wings. That reduction in speed softens the impact of light hitting the scales, further reducing reflection.

Understanding these properties could one day help researchers efficiently focus light onto solar panels and create cheaper antireflective lenses （镜头）for cameras or glasses. It's just fascinating to know how nature solves really interesting problems like this. You can pay extra for glasses that have an antireflective coating on them.

32 Why does the author mention "dragonflies" in Paragraph 2?

A. To make a comparison. B. To explain a rule.

C. To make a prediction. D. To present a fact.

33 Why were pictures of wings taken with microscopes?

A. To appreciate their beauty.

B. To study their composition.

C. To keep them as souvenirs.

D. To test the graduate students.

34. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Ways. B. Wings. C. Species. D. Scales.

35 What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Properties of glasswings. B. Cameras in the future.

C. Applications of the study. D. Difficulties for future studies.

Rolling hills and endless green farmlands - those images are easy to appear when thinking of the country lifestyle. When lockdowns lasted so long across the world during the pandemic,

social media seemed to be full of pictures of cottages and village life — people getting away from it all. So, why is living in the countryside becoming a modem fantasy? 36  

It makes sense that some people would want to give up the crowded and noisy city streets for the peaceful country life — especially during an event like a pandemic. 37   But it's not just about having a greener place to look at out your window.

38   Villages don't normally adapt to the stop-go traffic we see in city centres. There's less air pollution in the countryside, which increases the chances of developing respiratory （呼吸 的）conditions or heart disease. 39   That is to say, you can get more exercise. All above can also lead to less stress and an increased life expectancy.

However, there are some things that need to be considered. 40   And as people get older, life far from doctors or public transport could become a bit of a challenge. So, if you’re considering a change of pace and moving to a peaceful village, there is a range of pros and cons to consider before taking actions.

A. Many young are moving to the city to make a fortune.

B. Why do people prefer the city life to the country life?

C. Are there benefits to considering a slower pace of life?

D. There is more evidence that relates to the benefits of rural living.

E. You also get more opportunities to take long walks and see the sights.

F. Living far from the city means some people may feel separated or even lonely.

G. The lockdowns have given people time to think about what they want from life.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

1 bought some mealworms （粉虫）to feed my pet lizard（蜥蜴）and put them in the fridge. Mom didn't like the idea at all. She asked me to move them to the higher shelf and in the back to be away from Travis, my little brother.

“In a minute, Mom. " I said. When I say ”In a minute, Mom. ** that means I’ll do it --- sometime. Of course that sometime might be in the next century.

There's only one thing Travis likes better： cooking. His version of cooking, anyway. His favorite is stone soup. He got the idea from the book Mom reads to him. Only, instead of stones, he uses his blocks for making stone soup.

After Travis and I fed my lizard, Mom called us to the supper table. She asked whether I had moved that container. “ No, Mom. But don’t worry. Travis won't get it.”

Mom turned her attention to Travis. " Travis, that bread doesn't belong in your milk cup.”

“Me cook,“ Travis said with a big smile. " Dorsi eat.”

I pretended to eat what Travis had “cooked“ and told him, “Yum-yum good.”

“Yum-yum good,”   he said, stirring（搅拌）them in his glass.

Later that night I watched TV while Mom put Travis to bed. Then Mom came into the family room and dropped into a chair. We chatted for a while before she reminded me to move the mealworms as soon as possible. I promised to do it after the show. However, by the time the show was over, we’d both forgotten about the mealworms.
