Which of these is NOT mentioned as a character in The Winnie the Pooh stories?22. In which book would you expect to find the chapter “How the tiger got his stripes(纹)?”A.The Wind in the Willows B.Treasure IslandC Just So Stories D.The Lord of the Rings23.The underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 4 means.A.interesting B.modernC.disappointing D.frighteningBWhen Ron first started with his organization, he loved his job. He went into work every day filled with purpose and passion (热情). Three years later, however, it was hard to recognize him. Now, Ron detests going to work. He feels that his work is meaningless, hes always stressed, and he calls in sick frequently.These are basic symptoms (征兆) of burnout. If youve experienced this yourself, its important that you should know how to recover from it before you have difficulty in having a sense of satisfaction and then dislike your job.You first need to know why youve experienced burnout. First, look at any resentment (愤怒) that you feel towards your work. Often, feelings of resentment point to something important that is missing.Heres a good example. Jennifer manages a team around the world, so her workday often starts at 6 a.m. She doesnt mind this because she likes her team and her job. But she feels resentful when her boss forgets that she starts work so early and repeatedly asks her to stay late, which causes her to miss important time with her family.In this example, burnout wouldnt happen if Jennifer disliked her job; in fact, she loves what she does. She experiences burnout because she hates missing out on family time in the evenings.Take time to think about any negative feelings that you have about your role, and try to get to the root of the problem. Once youve known the cause of your burnout, write down at least one way that you can manage that source of stress. This might include giving some of your duties to others, working from home one day a week, or even changing roles.24Which of the following is closest in meaning to “detests” in Paragraph 1?A. Minds B Avoid C. Hates D. Misses25What does the author say about burnout?A. It has a bad influence on ones job.B. It causes serious health problems.C. Its cause is unclear. D. It lasts a short time.26What causes Jennifers burnout at work?A. That she works too hard. B. That she doesnt like her job.C. That she cant make time for her family.D. That her boss is too strict with her.27What does the author advise people to do in the last paragraph?A. Try to keep great passion at work.B. Change the role you play in your work.C. Consider negative feelings as something unimportant.D. Find out the cause of burnout and solve it.CSince the 1990s,education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen.Last December,the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school.In xx,the rate was about sixty-three percent.There have been increases each year since then.Professor Shireen Motala says basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa.Most children stay in school until they are about sixteen.The problem is that large numbers of them leave without pleting high school.Professor Motala says,“Less than half of the children who started school in two thousand sat for the matric(高考) last year.Only around forty-five percent survived.And the concern is that where those learners actually go.”Those who drop out must pete with better educated people for jobs.Educational researchers also point to another problem.South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in maths and science.Children do not see laboratories and as a result,their science marks are not very good.They do not have libraries at school.Also,many teachers do not have the skills or training to do their jobs.In South Africa,a number of teachers were poorly trained before.Secondly,teachers have been confused by the many educational reforms(改革) in the last fifteen years.Finally,language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should,which is a huge problem.Subjects such as maths and science are taught in English starting at about age ten,but South Africa has eleven official languages.South Africas minister of basic education promises a number of improvements.Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge,making sure the correct teachers are in the correct jobs.28 From Paragraph 1 we can learn that .A.South Africans are in need of education badlyB.South African government takes education seriouslyC.South African teenagers do well in schoolworkD.its not easy for South African teenagers to pass exams29 What is the real concern of Shireen Motala?A.Something is wrong with the basic education.B.Children cant plete high school.C.The final exams are too difficult for most children.D.Most children have to find jobs at an early age.30. Some South African students perform poorly in science because of the following reasons EXCEPT .A.they dont work hard enoughB.their schools have no laboratoriesC.they cant get help from librariesD.there are not enough skillful teachers31 Which of the following would Shireen Motala most probably agree with?A.Schools should focus more on maths and science than any other subject.B.More educational reforms should be carried out in South African schools.C.The more teachers teach maths and science,the better marks students may get.D.More attention should be paid to language differences in maths and science classes.DSome time ago, I discovered a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair that had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth so I thought that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; its nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. Im sorry. Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right.” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.32We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _.A. was rather impolite B. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chairC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. was warmly weled33Why did the writer said “Would you like to buy a chair?” in the fifth shop?A. He had a plan in mind about how to get his chair mended.B. He wanted to make some money by selling the chair.C. He was sure that he wont be able to have the chair repaired.D. He planned to get a new chair after selling the broken one.34The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _.A. changed his mind B. accepted the offerC.decided to help the writer D. saw the writers purpose35How much will the writer pay?A. 5 B. 7 C. 20 D. 27第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。E_36_ .Being angry doesnt really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important.
