29、ra had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance, opera goers also had a certain appearance in peoples mind: rich, well-dressed a

30、nd old.But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. Be

31、cause young people dont or wont come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.The Houston Grand Operas choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas” shortened versions（剧本）of child-frien

32、dly operas. This summers production is Hansel Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella

33、free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists Training Program.56.Which is the main idea of this passage？A. Opera is famous for its long history.B.

When you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it th

36、an assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main

37、 areas;1） Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also posi

38、tions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2） How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need

39、a job where the changes dont happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3） Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others wh

40、o need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4） What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a sma

41、ller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5） How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, the

42、se are a great starting point for you. Ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.59. What is

43、unnecessary in your job hunting?A. Assessing your skillsB. Going to different areasC. Matching your skills with a positionD. taking your personality into consideration60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make peopl

44、e shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others. D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.61. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. Design. B. Changes. C. Cooperation.D. Hobbies.skillsJobs Environment MotivationStability ?62. What is the best title for this p

45、assage?A. Lifestyles and Job Pay B. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and Abilities D. Personalities and JobsC“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much.”-Francis Bacon （1561-1626）It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding. To start with, you need questions. Then,

46、to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts. After that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, moder

47、n scientists and thinkers are still solving the worlds problems with this type of analysis-luckily for us.However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. At that time, people believed more

48、in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “ the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defense. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge

49、 that they had always comfortably believed. They preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of others. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great p

50、hilosopher Aristotle（384-322BC）.This also shows how people didnt want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves. And this is still often true today. People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a

51、 great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei too made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong. Therefore our understanding of the world ar

52、ound us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all.”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we dont know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questi

53、ons. So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that todays civilization is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understan

54、ding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”-Galileo Galilei（1564-1642）63. In Bacon and Galileos times, people would pref

55、er to _.A. learn new things by observing the world around themselvesB. acquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestorsC. seek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientistsD. explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes64. In this passage Bacon and Galileo are mentioned as examples for _.A
