The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.Personal education guideCompared with online programs today, education could better meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.Individualized body part makerDoctors may expect individualized organs grown or 3D printed using their patients' own cells. After all, scientists' creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts including skin and ears have been grown.Pharmaceutical artisan（制药师）The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of the medicine based on individual needs. It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes, habits, and medical history.Brain implant specialistWe are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience（神经科学）with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.21.

Medical knowledge.BOver the years, I bought countless pairs of shoes that brightened my mood, picked out dresses that improved my figure, and turned over my credit card for lots of cosmetics that I had hoped would make me look fresher and happier. But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.But one afternoon in October 2021, I walked out of one store with something more valuable than anything money could buy. I found hope in the unlikeliest place after months of hopelessness, thanks to a woman who decided to start a conversation with me in the store’s café.It had been a painful time for me. Married a little over four years, I had suffered five heartbreaking miscarriages (流产) and, at 42, was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I might never be able to have a child.On that fateful day, an elegantly dressed, slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café. Her Chinese girl was about seven years old.“She’s pretty,” I said. “But what made you decide to adopt her?” I asked, uncertain whether I had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. “I don’t want work to be my whole life,” she said. I wasn’t sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied, “I don’t either,but I’m afraid it’s too late!” “I was 51 when I adopted Melanie,” she said, “And it’s the most rewarding and exciting thing I’ve ever done.”When our checks came, she handed me her business card, and I finally learned her name — and in that minute, I saw a happier and more satisfied myself, a reborn “mother-to-be”.24. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?A. She cared about her appearance too much.B. She lacked enough confidence in herself.C. She failed to buy happiness with money.D. She liked shopping more than anything else.What did the older woman intend to do when talking with the author?A. Advise the author to forget her pain.B. Share her feelings of being an adoptive mother.C. Show off her beautiful daughter to the author.D. Advertise the benefits of adopting a Chinese girl.26. Which of the following best describes the older woman?A. Inspiring.   B. Patient.   C. Outgoing.   D. Responsible.27. Why did the author see a happier self after the encounter?A. She could adopt children because she was still young.B. The older woman set an example as a good mother.C. She realized life was more important than work.D. Her hope of owning a child was built up again.CBook reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective. This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud orcriticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership.Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer’s style and write about them intelligently.28. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A. Standards of good book reviews.   B. Benefits of writing book reviews.C. Ways to get your writing published.  D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review?A. Including much information on a major point of the book.B. Stating clearly the writer’s opinion of the book.C. Giving a brief summary of the book.D. Avoiding describing the book.30. The underlined word “lens” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.A. channel   B. glasses   C. ways   D. equipment31. According to the text, only a skilled writer can ________.A. look at a book through a specific angle  B. give an objective description of a bookC. find a book and understand its plot easily D. pay close attention to another writer’s styleDThe Joy of AbsenceHow some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “it’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating.Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employees’ productivity declines sharply.But that doesn’t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for aproper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.32. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan’s joke in Paragraph 1?A. To encourage people to work hard.  B. To show that hard work is harmless.C. To introduce the topic of the passage.  D. To praise Ronald Reagan’s joking skills.33. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.B. With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.C. We should say no to extra effort.D. Extra effort isn’t necessarily helpful.34. According to the passage, which situation is helpful to a company?A. All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma.B. Employees don’t go home until their boss does.C. Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency.D. Workers keep working when they are sick.35. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage?A. Some managers have workers tied to their desks with a chain.B. Reduced productivity means greater medical expenses for employers.C. A prison-like office doesn’t inspire creativity.D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Being Left-handed in a Right-handed WorldThe world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left?36 The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tendsto run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic component to it.37 In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures.38 In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey.39 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.     40 People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in. A. In other words, left-handers are born that way.B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I think of the word perfect, I think of something only a few can achieve, anything that I can compare myself to.
