I was deep in thought.‎ A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.‎ Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in, and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.‎ Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities. Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.‎ 24. What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?‎ A. Express. B. Relieve. C. Deepen. D. Realize.‎ ‎25. What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?‎ A. Learning literature is good for one’s later careers.‎ B. Most people have a negative attitude towards literature.‎ C. His friends both disliked the career connected with literature.‎ D. College majors(主修课） have nothing to do with career choices.‎ ‎26. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?‎ A. Change your jobs frequently. B. Stay at one job for all your life.‎ C. Love whatever job you take up. D. Choose your job by your interest.‎ ‎27. From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.‎ A. didn’t regret studying literature all the time B. had a negative attitude towards literature learning C. thought that love for literature held the key to career paths D. thought that colleges should design career paths for students C For centuries, humans have wondered whether there is life on Mars. Scientists have asked why Mars is losing its atmosphere. Last week, the question was answered with a song. “The answer is blowing in the wind,” said Michael Meyer, taking a line from a Bob Dylan song. Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. It turns out that solar winds from the sun are slowly blowing away Mars’ atmosphere.‎ Today, Mars has a thin atmosphere. It is cold and dry, with a desert-like environment. Jakosky says it used to be much more different. “When we look at ancient Mars, we see a different type of surface. One that had valleys looked like they were carved by water, lakes that were standing for a long period of time. We see an environment that was much more able to support liquid water.”‎ Recently they found a kind of liquid water that flows with salt down a mountain area of the planet. But it is not always there. Scientist Michael Meyer describes what they found: “We’re seeing water, with the salt that’s able to flow down the sides of the cliff. Why is this important? That means there is water on Mars, on the surface of Mars today.”‎ Scientists already knew that ice exists on Mars. So why is it important to find liquid water? Meyer explains: “It means that we have a resource. And when we're looking at sending humans to Mars, water is one of the key things that we need to have, not only for astronauts to drink, but also to make oxygen, to make fuel.”‎ Sending humans to Mars is still in the distant future. NASA is aiming for the 2030s. Both US government and private industries are developing rockets and spacecraft to get people to Mars.‎ ‎28.Why is the atmosphere of Mars disappearing?‎ A. Because Mars doesn't have water to keep the atmosphere.‎ B. Because the atmosphere is affected by the earth.‎ C. Because the atmosphere is blown away by the solar wind.‎ D. Because Mars has no condition to make the atmosphere exist.‎ ‎29.Which of the following are the functions of the water on Mars?‎ ‎①Taking shower. ②Drinking for astronauts. ③Making fuel. ‎ ‎④Watering plants. ⑤Producing oxygen. ⑥Washing clothes.‎ A. ②④⑤ B. ①③④⑤ C. ②③④⑥ D. ②③⑤‎ ‎30.What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Whether water exists on Mars or not isn’t important to humans.‎ B. Mars’ atmosphere has changed a lot since it existed.‎ C. We can successfully send humans to Mars from now on.‎ D. Water can not appear on Mars because of its thin atmosphere.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Mars Has Conditions to Support Humans ‎ B. Mars Is Strongly Influenced by the Solar Wind C. Mars and Its Thin Atmosphere D. Water Does Exist on Mars D As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary(纪录片) broadcast on April 7.‎ Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard(巫师) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.‎ The one-hour film talks about the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the government of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity(繁荣), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文职人员) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(难民), and put up with starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over ‎ the ages.‎ ‎“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting(反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China, told China Daily.‎ Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales , he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles. ” “That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.‎ 32. According to Para.2, we know Ian McKellen is___________. ‎ A. a narrator in the documentary B. a big fan of Du Fu C. the director of the documentary D. a British wizard ‎33. Why Du Fu is so valuable a poet in the mind of Chinese people?‎ A. Because he experienced the ups and downs of Tang Dynasty.‎ B. Because he never stopped and wrote about 1,500 poems.‎ C. Because his poems are completely kept over the ages.‎ D. Because his poetry is a good reflection of history.‎ 34. The poem mentioned in the last paragraph is intended to _________.‎ A. explain Du Fu’s position in the government B. show Du Fu’s concern about ordinary people C. tell the readers what a difficult life Du Fu lived D. show Du Fu’s intelligence in writing a poem 35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.‎ B. Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK. ‎ C. China’s Poet Sage appears on the screen in the UK. ‎ D. British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。‎ Over the last few years, nutritional trends have grown in numbers, as more and more people are becoming aware of the positive advantages that a healthy and balanced diet can have.
