26、When Caleb Forbes got his first job at an advertising company at the age of 20, he thought he would be at the company for years. But after seven months he was bored. Soon after that, Forbes moved to London. He took four different jobs at three companies over the next five years. Forbes wanted a better job and higher pay---he was never quite satisfied.
Welcome to the world of a job hopper. Forbes’s story isn’t unusual these days and such frequent movement from one job to the next will become more common. The main reason: the nature of employment is changing. There are a lot more contracts and part-time jobs or flexible employment. That leads to people having a greater number of jobs. What’s more, layoffs(解雇) and pay freezes(冻薪), among other things, have pushed people from one job to another. In some cases, a bad worldwide job market has limited opportunities for star employees, promoting them to seek new challenges at other companies.
However, employers often think that if a person jumped from his last employer after a short period, he will likely do the same again --- there is a significant financial risk in hiring someone who leaves in short order.
What’s more, moving from company to company frequently doesn’t mean workers are climbing the corporate ladder(公司官阶) faster. In 2005, Monika Hamori, a professor at Spain’s IE Business School, looked at CEOs at about 55 to see if those who moved around more frequently climbed the ladder faster.
She found that executives who stayed with one company became CEOs after 23 years, while executives who changed companies many times became CEOs after 26 years. One reason: workers within the same organization tend to be promoted more frequently and be offered better jobs.
【1】How did Forbes feel about his first job at first?
A. It was easy. B. It was boring.
C. It was satisfying. D. It was dangerous.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The causes for job hopping.
B. The popularity of job hopping.
C. The consequences of job hopping.
D. The measures against job hopping.
【3】Employers usually think those who left their former job in a short time ________.
A. can do their new work better
B. are hard-working and easy-going
C. have more experiences
D. will quit their new job again after a short time
【4】Monika Hamori’s research showed that ________.
A. old workers are more likely to move around
B. young workers are more likely to be given better jobs
C. the less someone moves around, the more he may be paid
D. the more someone moves around, the more he may be paid
27、Boston researchers have found that trees and soils on the outermost (最外面的) edges of forests and city parks may play a greater role in fighting climate change than previously imagined. Actually, city trees and soil are storing more carbon out of the atmosphere than we thought.
They may not have lungs like we do, but the soil and trees are breathing in and out all of the time. Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and also store carbon in their trunks. Forests actually store more carbon dioxide than they release, which is an incredible service to our planet; about 30 percent of fossil fuel emissions (排放) are removed when forests absorb them, an effect called “the terrestrial carbon sink”.
“We’re not feeling the full effects of climate change because of the terrestrial climate sink.” says Boston University biogeochemist and ecologist Lucy Hutyra. But, what happens to the planet’s “lungs” when large forests are cut down into smaller parts, a process that researchers call “forest fragmentation”?
“We think about forests as big landscapes, but really they are cut up into all these little parts because of the human world,” says Hutyra, a BU College of Arts 8. Sciences professor of earth and environment. These changes to forests create more areas called forest edges — the trees at the outermost edge of a forest.
It has long been guessed that these forest edges release and store carbon at similar rates as forest interiors (内部), but Hutyra and researchers in her lab at BU have discovered this isn’t true. In two recent research papers. Hutyra’s team found edge trees grow faster than their country cousins deep in the forest and that soil in urban areas can hoard more carbon dioxide than previously thought. Their results challenge current ideas about conservation and the value of urban forests as more than places for recreation.
【1】What does the new research discover?
A.Forests play a greater role in fighting climate change.
B.Trees play a greater role than soil in fighting climate change.
C.City trees play a greater role than city parks in fighting climate change.
D.Trees and soils on the outer edges of forests count in fighting climate change.
【2】Which of the following statements is correct according to the text?
A.Trees can absorb and store carbon dioxide.
B.Forest edges refer to the trees near the forests.
C.Forests let out more carbon dioxide than they store.
D.Full effects of climate change can’t be felt due to fossil fuel emissions.
【3】What does the underlined word “hoard” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Release.
B.Store.
C.Prevent.
D.Sense.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The value of urban forests is only for recreation.
B.Forest edges and forest interiors release carbon similarly.
C.Soil in urban areas can take in less carbon dioxide than soil in forests.
D.Trees deep in the forest grow slower than those at the outermost edge of a forest.
28、Growing up, Jessica Rusnak, tried out for every athletics team possible, though she had little success. Rather than give up, she focused her efforts on building a career as a sports journalist. The difficulty Rusnak faced as a hopeful athlete also prepared her for the perseverance and patience she would require as a sports journalist.
“It’s something I’ve always loved, but I’m not athletic at all,” explains Rusnak, who works for CBC Montreal’s Daybreak, a weekday morning radio show. “I was interested in journalism and, as I got older and started to think about my career, I decided that I wanted to go into sports journalism.”
Rusnak began interning (实习) at T990 while studying at Concordia. “I was trying to get my feet wet on the morning show where I started at 5:30 a. m.,” she says. “I’d leave after the show at 10 a. m. and have a class at 11 a. m. Through that I gained precious experience.”
She transferred into communication studies at Concordia after pursuing journalism elsewhere for a year. “Concordia was a really great experience,” she says. “The class sizes were much smaller and you pretty much knew everyone in your year, so there was always someone you could ask for help.” After her internship, Rusnak was hired by TSN where she worked as a reporter for five years covering sports teams such as the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Alouettes and Montreal Impact.
Following a brief move to Toronto in 2015 where she worked as a sports editor at Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Rusnak returned to Montreal to work for Daybreak.
Being a woman in a field still largely dominated by men added to Rusnak’s challenge—and it wasn’t something she was prepared for. Despite the challenges, Rusnak persevered (坚持) and is now well-paid, and proud to see fellow alumni (校友) working at her side. There are a few people I studied with in communications who now work in the industry.
【1】What was Rusnak’ s original dream?
A.To be an editor.
B.To be an athlete.
C.To be a journalist.
D.To be a radio host.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “get my feet wet” probably mean?
A.Form the habit of early rising.
B.Get my shoes or feet wet.
C.Gain some practical experience.
D.Show my hard-working attitude.
【3】Where was Rusnak working before she returned to work for Daybreak?
A.TSN.
B.Concordia.
C.Sportsnet 590 The Fan.
D.Montreal Canadiens.
【4】How does she feel about the job?
A.Easy and high-paying.
B.Challenging but worthwhile.
C.Interesting but tiring.
D.Uncomfortable but rewarding.
29、Since American students have been introduced into the era of the Massive Open Online Course, the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The all-knowing Google search engine is within easy reach. So how can a teacher handle such a large number of examinees so far away, let alone searching out cheaters taking tests across the Internet?
Using technology, of course. While special services via webcam (摄像头) and cheating detecting software have been developed now, Mettl, an online company, has developed advanced techniques for netting cheaters, which the company claims are even more reliable and easier to use. Whatever small attempt to cheat, he or she will be found out.
Mettl has adopted a mass of technologies on its test-taking platform, creating a mini monitoring state in an exam. Here’s how it works: A test-taker signs on to Mettl and selects his/her exam from the site’s library of pre-loaded tests. Facial and keystroke recognition technology confirm the person that has signed in is the very person, and the system records both the test-taker (through the webcam) and the test-taker’s screen throughout the test.
Mettl’s technology uses the test-taker’s webcam to detect how many people are using the computer. Soon, it will track eye movement well enough to sense whether the test-taker is looking away from the screen, perhaps to consult a smart phone or a friend in secret. Mettl also monitors the test-taker’s screen and can detect when the test-taker has changed a computer or moved from the test. The system will soon be able to record sound, detecting whether the test-taker is talking or being talked to.
If any wrongdoings are detected, the system flags the incident and reports it back to the test’s administrator. This can bring any number of things, depending on the test-giver’s wishes: a complete shutdown of the exam, a warning message that appears on the test-taker’s screen, even human instructions from the control center.
Mettl is hoping its technology will help it break into the country’s big MOOC markets.
【1】From the first paragraph we can infer that .
A. MOOC has replaced the traditional form of education
B. Teachers should be stricter in dealing with cheating
C. Preventing online cheating is a harder job
D. Google is a software designed for cheating
【2】How can Mettl help to get rid of cheating online?
A. By equipping teachers with cameras.
B. By asking test-takers to sign in.
C. By providing different tests at a time.
D. By recording the test-takers’ behaviors.
【3】We can conclude from the passage that the technology of Mettl is in the MOOC era.
A. unreliable B. promising
C. wasteful D. instructive
【4】Which part of a newspaper does the article come from?
A. Health B. Entertainment
C. Education D. Culture
