21、When it comes to breaking rules during a job search, career coach Angela Copeland encourages jobseekers to think beyond the normal barriers or unspoken rules.

“It’s always been my philosophy that you have to think outside the box. 【1】 because then no one is going to know who you are,” says Copeland. The best jobs, she says, go to those who try harder, who are creative and who break the rules in their job search.

Copeland offers four top rules to break while looking for a job.

1. Don’t listen to HR about how to apply.

The standard line is to apply for a job online. Copeland suggests finding other ways to apply, too, whether it is in person, via a headhunter or through a friend inside the company. 【2】.

2. Don’t worry if you don’t meet all qualifications.

【3】. The hiring manager will be interviewing candidates who don’t have all the qualifications, which often is a wish list for the company. There will be parts of the job description that are optional or that they’re willing to teach you.

3. Don’t worry about bothering people.

Put yourself out there and network with people in your industry. Attend events and reach out to people by email or phone. Out of 10 contacts, you may only have three who respond. 【4】.

4. Don’t be afraid of social media.

When applying for jobs, know that potential employers will Google you and look through your social media profiles. 【5】. But also use social media to meet new people. Many senior executives manage their own accounts online, and it’s good to engage with them when possible.

A．Keep them professional and updated

B．You can’t count on everyone to lend you a hand

C．But one of those could lead you to your new job

D．You can’t be so worried about following the rules

E．Applying in person often is the most effective method

F．Challenge yourself to think differently and to take risks

G．If you want a job and think you can do it, you should apply anyway

22、It is important that you have some sense of what your potential means to you. Is it achieving a certain level of income? Mastering the violin? Most people will have different definitions of potential. It is meaningful to figure out what’s most important for you.

◆ Begin by imagining that you have been given the power to make your deepest hopes and dreams for your future come true. What do you do? Who are you with? How do you feel? 【1】 For example, if you own your own bakery, think about where it is, how many employees you have, what people think of your business, and how you feel to be your own boss.

◆ 【2】 For example, if you own your own bakery, you have some management knowledge, you are good with people, you have baking skills, etc.

◆ Think about which of these strengths and skills you already have, and which you need to further develop. 【3】 Decide how you can develop the areas you identified. You could read some books on business, talk to other small business owners. 【4】

◆ 【5】 Take a step back and ask yourself why you are imagining a particular version of your full potential and whether it is achievable in theory. If you do not consider this, you may lose the chance to redefine your potential and miss all the joy and meaning that may come along with doing so.

A．Imagine this in as much detail as possible.

B．It is OK to change your mind as you learn more about yourself.

C．In addition, you could visit the US Small Business Administration’s website for guidance.

D．Examine the character strengths and skills that in future you have used to get to this place.

E．In order to realize your full potential, you must live according to your values.

F．For example, perhaps you are an excellent baker, but don’t know what it takes to start a small business.

G．Your job demands so much of your time that you aren’t getting the quality time with your loved ones.

23、Exercise seems to be good for the human brain，with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills．But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is，if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise，do our brains respond accordingly？The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives．

While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits，recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect．So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations，on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking．If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits，then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise．

For the new study，which was published last month in PLOS One，the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system，they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking．The other volunteers were asked the same questions，but about a regular walking program．

In actual experiments，stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills．Walking，on the other hand，seems to substantially improve thinking ability．

But the survey respondents believed the opposite，estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking．The estimates of benefits from walking were lower．

These data，while they do not involve any actual exercise，are good news for people who do exercise．“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart，a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University，who led the study．

If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise，Mr．Stothart said，then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching．They didn’t，implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine．

The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may，in the process，improve thinking，Mr．Stothart said． That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how，at a molecular level，exercise remodels the human brain，he said． It also should encourage the rest of us to move，since the benefits are，it seems，not imaginary，even if they are in our head．

【1】Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage？

A． It occurs during exercise．

B． It has cognitive benefits．

C． It is just a mental reaction．

D． It is a physiological response．

【2】Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research？

A． To discover the placebo effect in the exercise．

B． To prove the previous studies have a big drawback．

C． To test whether exercise can really improve cognition．

D． To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research．

【3】What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out？

A． They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise．

B． The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists．

C． The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability．

D． Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect．

【4】What might be the best title for the passage？

A． Is it necessary for us to take exercise？

B． How should people exercise properly？

C． What makes us smarter during exercise？

D． Does exercise really make us smarter？

24、

Tardigrades, which are known as space bears, are able to survive for up to 30 years without food or water, and endure temperature extremes of up to 150 degrees Celsius, the deep sea and even the frozen space.

Researchers found that their astonishing abilities would protect them from disasters which would wipe out all life on Earth. In fact, the only forces capable of harming tardigrades, such as an exploding star or a deadly gamma ray burst, will not happen before our own Sun dies.

“Life on this planet can continue long after humans are gone,” said Dr. Rafael of the Department of Physics, tardiprades are as close to indestructible as it gets on Earth, but it is possible that there are other resilient (有承受力的) species examples elsewhere in the universe. In this context, there 1S a real case for looking for life on Mars and in other areas of the solar system in general, If tardigrades are earth’s most resilient species, who knows what else is out there.”

The micro animals living In water can live for up to 60 years, and grow to a maximum size of 0.5mm. The only real threat to their existence would be from a destructive event which would cause Earth’s oceans to boil away. But the scientists discovered that there are only a dozen known asteroids (小行星) and dwarf planets with enough mass to cause the oceans to boil if they struck the Earth and none are on a collision course with our planet. Smaller space rocks would not harm tardigrades.

Dr. David, Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Physics at Oxford University said: “To our surprise, we found that although large asteroid impacts would be disastrous for people, tardigrades could be unaffected. Therefore it seems that life, once it gets going, is hard to wipe out entirely. Huge numbers of species, or even entire genera may become extinct, but life as a whole will go on.”

In highlighting the resilience of life in general, the research broadens the scope of life beyond Earth, within and outside of this solar system.

Professor Abraham, chair of the Astronomy Department at Harvard University, said the research proved that life could survive in even the harshest environment. “Organisms with similar tolerances to radiation and temperature as tardigrades could survive long term below the surface in these condition.”

【1】What does “this planet” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Sun.

B．Earth.

C．Mars.

D．The dwarf planet.

【2】What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?

A．There may exist more resilient species in other planets.

B．Na other species are stronger than tardigrades on the earth.

C．Tardigrades can be found in other areas of the solar system.

D．Tardigrades will be destroyed by space rocks hitting the earth.

【3】Dr. David and Professor Abraham might agree that ________.

A．life will continue however bad the situation is

B．it is necessary to explore beyond the solar system

C．surviving below the surface s harder than imagined

D．asteroid impacts may cause the destruction of tardigrades

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To explore a study method.

B．To introduce a new research finding.

C．To provide a possible way 10 live in outer space.

D．To offer new means to survive tough environment.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The Call of Croatia

There is truly something for everyone in the nation of Croatia in southeastern Europe. The Islands

Those who love the ocean and a slow pace will fall in love with Croatia. It boasts over 1,000 islands in the Adriatic Sea along its coast. Though the choices are endless, many desire to visit the island of Pag. It’s famous for its parties but also features a resort and a carnival. A bridge from the European continent makes it very easy to get to. Hvar is also a popular island with its fragrant fields of flowers and good weather. Some hotels offer discounts if it rains and free rooms if it snows!

The parks

Croatia is also home to eight national parks, including the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes. It’s noted for its 16 colorful lakes and a series of waterfalls. Paklenica National Park offers something completely different — a landscape that doubles fort the Old West. Its wild lands are perfect for both mountain hikes and nature walks.

The cities

The natural beauty of Croatia should not keep visitors from its urban centers, though. Dubrovnik has been called “the pearl of the Adriatic” with its Old Town, a World Heritage Site. Its city walls are from another time, yet its cable cars are a modern way to experience the area. The capital, Zagreb, has the most museums per square meter in the world. Visit St. Mark’s Church, the Museum of Arts and Crafts or one of its many cafes.

The festivals

Croatia is also surprisingly well-known for its music festivals. Return to the party island of Pag for Electro Dance Madness. In its second year, the event has attracted thousands onto its dance platform over the sea. Croatia’s biggest open-air festival is Zagreb’s INmusic, which has received top international praise. Tickets are very reasonable, and its Lake Jarun location offers outdoor activities as well.

Midnight parties, urban explorers and nature lovers will all be at home in Croatia.
