（2022·黑龙江大庆·中考真题）With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.
At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them.
After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there.
Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy that can depend on myself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty.

（2022·浙江嘉兴·中考真题）When Leon Martin asked for his parents’ advice on how to become a UX designer (设计师), they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don’t know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost. “I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential (潜力), but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are?”
_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.
Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. “We all know that parents’ opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children’s career dreams,” she said. “But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school.”
Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
8．What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne?
A．Become a great UX designer. B．Do an excellent job online.
C．Develop their children’s potential. D．Realize their children’s dreams.
9．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3?
A．Anne is not alone. B．Anne has bad luck.
C．This is very strange. D．This is very interesting.
10．What did Michelle Rea’s survey mainly show?
A．Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.
B．Parents feared that their children would refuse to share their career dreams.
C．A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.
D．Children’s career future depend a lot on their parents’ working experiences.
11．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．How can children make career choices?
B．How can parents become career advisers?
C．Should children take their parents’ career advice?
D．Should parents choose a career for their children?

（2022·重庆市石柱中学校二模）What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps producers to be sure of a product’s quality (质量) . Harrison has been working on testing the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavours (味道).
Some people think that it would be not difficult to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more than that, says Harrison, who has a degree (学位) in chemistry. He points out that a degree in chemistry would be very necessary to someone wanting a job in this “cool” field.
In a usual morning on the job, Harrison tastes and tests 60 ice-cream samples (样品). He lets the ice cream warm up. Harrison explains, “You get more flavour from warmer ice-cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavour?” Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavours, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy—working at one cool job.
22．What is John Harrison’s job?
A．A doctor. B．A teacher. C．A taster. D．A producer.
23．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A．He stirs the ice cream. B．He heats the ice cream.
C．He tastes the flavour of the ice cream. D．He examines the colour of the ice cream.
24．Why could John Harrison get the job?
A．He has the ability to taste ice cream. B．He has great interest in ice cream.
C．He has read books on Food Science. D．He has got a degree in chemistry.
25．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A．One Cool Job B．John Harrison’s Life C．Flavours of Ice Cream D．Tasting with Eyes
（2022·北京房山·二模）

Visit a middle or large size of company these days, and you’re likely to find the staff (全体职工) members sharing a large, open space. Instead of having personal offices with doors and walls, most workers sit in cubicles that are half open. Whenever workers talk on the phone, other members of staff nearby can’t simply shut their doors. In fact, sometimes they can’t help but overhear everything that’s said. At times, the best way to focus in this type of office is to reach for one’s headphones and listen to music.
The open office idea is not new. It was created by a team of consultants (顾问) from Hamburg, Germany, in the 1950s. Called the office landscape (景观) plan, the idea was created to improve communication and the exchange of ideas. The design also encouraged managers and their teams to work near each other, making it easier for managers to guide projects. Now, the open office idea is often used as an excuse for companies to save money on building costs, paying no attention to the effect on working performance.
Many start-ups have a great interest in the open office idea. Take Chartbeat for example, the company’s 50-plus staff members get to choose their desk and chair styles, and everyone shares an open space with the CEO sitting in the middle. The office space has both single workstations and informal meeting areas where workers can relax themselves on sofas. While this design may be perfect for workers in start-ups, it may not be convenient for workers who have a great need of personal space.
In 2011 Matthew Davis, an organizational psychologist (心理学家), checked over a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, to staff in open offices, it was harder to stay focused and more likely to get higher stress than those working in traditional offices. What’s worse, a study in Denmark found that workers in open offices took more sick days than those working in traditional offices.
Even though open office plans present hidden problems on worker health and personal needs, businesses probably won’t return to traditional offices. Modern office workers tend (倾向) to need both time to focus and time to work together with others. So designing offices that account for both needs may be the best way forward.
26．What is mainly discussed about the open office in paragraph 1?
A．The benefit. B．The problem. C．The history. D．The management.
27．What was the purpose of the office landscape plan at the beginning?
A．To save space. B．To reduce cost.
C．To improve working conditions. D．To encourage communication.
28．What does the underlined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Include. B．Record. C．Forget. D．Translate.
29．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Working in open offices can reduce higher stress.
B．The writer suggests working in traditional offices.
C．Staff members like wearing headphones to listen to music in the open offices.
D．The open offices are good for managers to guide projects and work with the staff.

（2022·河南鹤壁·一模）The music is on. The figure skater (花滑运动员) jumps and spins (旋转). One turn, two turns, three turns—it seems they never get dizzy no matter how many times they spin. Why?
People often feel dizzy and lose balance (平衡) after spinning around. This is because when we move our head during a spin, our eyes start to move in the opposite direction. They reach their limit (极限) before our head finishes a full turn, so they turn back to a new starting point, said Scientific American. When our eyes repeat this, we get dizzy.
Figure skaters don’t have any super power. They get dizzy, too. Their secret is lots and lots of practice, according to Science Focus magazine. As they train more, their brains get used to the feeling.
Skaters also have methods to help them feel less dizzy. The first method is called “opposing eye movement”. It’s like the eye movement when we watch a moving train pass in front of us while our heads stay still. Skaters can train themselves to have this eye movement when they spin. Scientific American said this can offset (抵消) the dizzy feeling.
The second method is keeping a uniform speed (匀速). We feel dizzier when our brain feels changes in speed. Another method is that skaters can also pick one spot (点) to stare at as they stop turning, said Science Focus.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
37．When will people feel dizzy according to the text?
A．When people spin a lot. B．When people jump a lot.
C．When people listen to music. D．When people move their eyes fast.
38．Which of following is true according to the text?
A．Figure skaters never get dizzy.
B．Skaters can get less dizzy after lots of practice.
C．People get dizzier when our eyes feel changes in speed.
D．When people spin, their eyes move in the same direction.
39．What does the underlined phrase “opposing eye movement” probably mean in Chinese?
A．顺向眼动 B．反向眼动 C．旋转眼动 D．上下眼动
40．How many ways do the skaters have to make them feel less dizzy?
