26、 I rang Daisy the next morning and invited her to come to tea.

“Don’t bring Tom,” I warned her.

It was raining on the day we had fixed to have tea. A man arrived at eleven o’clock to cut the grass in my garden (Gatsby’s lawn (草坪) was always perfect). A little later an enormous quantity of flowers was delivered.

At three o’clock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.

“Have you got everything you need for tea?” he asked.

I took him into the kitchen and showed him the lemon cakes I had bought that morning.

“Are they all right?”

“Of course! They are fine, Nick, my friend, ” he said, but I could see he was disappointed.

We went into the living room where he sat down. From time to time he looked through the windows at the rain. Finally he got up and said he was going home.

“Nobody’s coming to tea. It’s too late! I can’t wait all day.”

“Don’t be silly. It’s only two minutes to four.”

He sat down unhappily and, at the same time, a car drove up to my house.

I went out into the garden. Daisy looked at me and smiled happily. I helped her out of the car.

“Are you in love with me?” she said softly in my ear. “If not, why did I have to come alone?”

“That’s a secret.”

We went in. To my surprise the living room was empty. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened it. Gatsby was standing there in the rain. He disappeared quickly into the living room. I waited at the door. After a moment of silence, Daisy laughed and said in a clear, false voice, “I’m very glad to see you again.”

I closed the door and joined them in the living room. Gatsby was standing and staring at Daisy. She was sitting, frightened but composed (沉着的), on the edge of a chair.

“We’re met before,” Gatsby said.

“Not for many years,” Daisy added quickly.

“Five years next November,” said Gatsby immediately without thinking.

I sat and talked to Daisy as we drank our tea and ate the lemon cakes. Gatsby was quiet but his anxious, unhappy eyes moved continuously from me to Daisy. I left them together after a while.

When I went back in, they were sitting on the couch, looking at each other. All their embarrassment had gone. Daisy’s face was covered with tears. But there was a change in Gatsby that really surprised me. He radiated a feeling of joy that filled the room.

“Hello, my friend,” he said.

“It’s stopped raining.”

“Has it?” he said. Then to Daisy, “It’s stopped raining.”

“I’m glad, Jay,” she answered, her voice showing her unexpected joy.

27、 Children are now more likely to want to work in social media or gaming than traditiona Careers. According to a new survey, many from seven to 11 -year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs, rather than professions such as police officer or doctor.

The survey involved 13.000 UK primary school children. They were asked to draw pictures of the job they wanted to do when they grow up and then tell the reasons. It concluded that children's career aspirations (志向)are often based on factors such as gender stereotypes (性别角色定型)or what they've seen in the media, TV and film.

"For more and more children and young people, online celebrities and You Tube gaming videobloggers' have taken the place of TV and movie stars, "the report said. "It could be argued that this is due to the growing fame and attraction of YouTube and video blogging stars, who are especially popular among younger audiences. Also, this may also speak to children's present worlds.

Many from seven to 11-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps at the same time watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it."

The survey found that 5% of children wanted to be in the police, with the same percentage on becoming doctors. A gender breakdown shows the top job choice for girls was teacher (19%). follow ed by vet (11%) and sportsman (9%) and police (8%).

This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools, to ensure that all children can have role models in a wide range of fields to help them develop an awareness of career choices at an early age. "This is vital to ensure that all children—regardless of gender and backgrounds—can fulfill their full potential. "

【1】What is the traditional career choice, according to the passage?

A.Police officer. B.Online celebrity.

C.Professional game-player. D.Video blogger.

A.Play games and watch popular TV series.

B.Participate in various sports in order to be sportsmen or women.

C.Study hard and make great efforts to become teachers and police officers.

D.Play games and watch celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.

【3】What's the purpose of the survey?

A.To strengthen the importance of studying hard.

B.To give children more advice to choose future careers.

C.To give parents some suggestions to educate their children.

D.To stress the importance of ties between employers and schools.

【4】In which column can you probably read the article?

A.Science. B.Education. C.Sports. D.Culture.

28、Leaving India for the United Kingdom to pursue my research career, I felt more out of place than before. At work, I separated myself from the discussions, let alone putting for-ward my opinions. I was afraid my colleagues would see me through and realize how weak I really felt. Some mornings, just stepping out of my room and going into the lab seemed a challenging task.

That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab urged me to contact the university’s mental health services. I was advised to attend a concert by a famous singer from my motherland. There I was in the crowded concert hall, surrounded by strangers—all of us clapping and singing the familiar songs.

Soon, I planned a day trip to a charming city a few hours away. As I took pictures of the beautiful surroundings, and enjoyed a lemonade there, I realized nobody was really paying any attention to me. My confidence and self-sufficiency grew as I enjoyed more local day trips. My growing self-confidence carried over to work, where I started to speak up and put forward my opinions. I began to ask questions during departmental meetings.

So, when an important conference relevant to our research came around, I felt comfortable registering to attend on my own. Not only did I meet the speakers, but I also introduced myself to other attendees and industry representatives, chatting about their products. The experience inspired me to critically evaluate my own professional interests.

Since then, I have had the confidence to move to other countries, enthusiastic about new opportunities. Traveling alone did not give me any magical powers, but taught me that I have the competence to grow and succeed. just like everyone around me, and it helped me get rid of the weight of self-doubt that used to hold me back.

【1】How did the author feel when he first came to the United Kingdom?

A．Proud.

B．Depressed.

C．Aimless.

D．Active.

【2】What did the concert mean to the author?

A．It proved to be a turning point.

B．It was a chance to enjoy familiar music.

C．It led to his becoming homesick.

D．It made him seek help for mental problems.

【3】What can we infer about the author?

A．He was not in favor of traveling alone.

B．He built up self-confidence by traveling.

C．He became more interested in taking photos.

D．He began to change after a conference.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Road to Becoming Confident

B．The Excitement from My Research

C．Further Research in Foreign Countries

D．A Combination of Travel and Research

29、In Antarctica, you learn not to take anything for granted. Everything people depend on has to be shipped or flown into the continent. Why? There are no farms on the icy continent. There are certainly no cows, pigs or chickens. As for drinking water, special systems and a great deal of energy are needed to take the salt out of seawater to make it useable.

Then there is the matter of waste. The US Antarctic Program is committed (致力于) to reducing its impact- or footprint--on the Antarctic environment. That means that every bit of garbage a person might produce in a day has to be transported off the continent. That's true whether it's the wrapper from your candy bar, the green beans you didn't want to eat or the paper towels you used to wipe your hands,

McMurdo Station has put into place technology that helps it reduce its footprint. It starts with energy. The US research base has partnered its nearby neighbor, New Zealand's Scott Base, to share energy produced from three large wind turbines. Scott Base gets 100% of its power from wind, says Ron Blevins, manager at a power plant, while the American base gets about 35% of its energy from wind. The much larger US base uses oil-fired generators(发电机) to supply the rest of its energy needs. The waste heat produced by the generators is then used to warm many of its buildings.

The McMurdo base also has a wastewater treatment plant. Yubecca Bragg, an organic farmer, manages the treatment plant. Bragg explains that treatment depends on allowing microorganisms(微生物) to break down the waste until the liquid part of the waste can be safely released into the ocean. Between 150, 000 and 180,000 pounds a year of the remaining solid waste is packed into containers and sent back to the US.

【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that .

A. farmers have to raise cows in Antarctica

B. people like taking the ships in Antarctica

C. it is not easy to live in Antarctica

D. water in Antarctica is useless at all

【2】How do people in Antarctica deal with the solid garbage?

A. They have it taken away later. B. They wrap it in the paper towels.

C. They ignore it completely. D. They keep it in the dustbins.

【3】It can be inferred from Ron Blevins’ words that .

A. the US base gets its most energy from wind

B. the US base doesn't need too much energy

C. Scott Base tries to remove its footprint

D. New Zealand's technology is advanced

【4】Which of the following is harmful to the environment of Antarctica?

A. The large wind turbine. B. An oil-fired generator.

C. A wastewater treatment plant. D. Scott Base's power plant.

四、短文填空（共1题，共 5分）

31、Directions：Read the following passage and fill in the blanks to complete the summary. No more than eight words for each blank.

The school that is changing American education

Two years ago, I visited a school in Brooklyn called P-TECH, the Pathways in Technology early college high school, which seemed very much like the future of education to me. It knitted together educators and job creators, giving kids not only a high school degree, but a two-year associate degree and a job guarantee at one of the country’s top blue-chip firms, IBM.

The latest great national leap forward in secondary education was during the post W.W. Ⅱ period, when state governments decided that high school education, previously optional, should be compulsory in order to ensure the kind of skilled workforce needed to compete in a new, higher tech industrial era. Now, many leaders---including the President, the education Secretary, scores of blue-chip CEOs and executives, and most top educators---believe we’re once again at such a turning point. When it comes to high school, an increasing number of them buy into the idea that not only should educators and job creators b e much more closely connected, but that as Stanley Litow, the IBM executive behind the program puts it,“six should be the new four.”The push for all American kids to have a post high school future, like Tennessee governor Haslam’s recent calls for two years of free community college for every student in the state, seems to come almost daily.

The statistics support it. A Four-year high school degree these days only guarantees a $15 an hour future. According to projections by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, the U.S. economy will create some 47-million job openings in the decade ending 2018, but nearly two-thirds will require some post secondary education. The Center projects that only 36% of American jobs will be filled by people with only a 4-year high school degree---half of what that number was in the 1970s. What’s more, the cost of not trading up educationally could be disastrous---workers with an associate degree will earn 73% more than those with only a high school diploma.

Many leaders maintain that children should 【1】 and that high schools should 【2】. The idea is based on 【3】. On one hand, more jobs will require 【4】. On the other, an associate degree will ensure 【5】.
