AFAQs on preparing your ApplicationQ：Should I target my Application to a specific Job Opening（JO）？A：Yes.Naturally，a customized cover note will also help you focus on the key aspects of your Application that relate to the JO，but it is also in your interest to target the Application according to the responsibilities and competencies of the position.Q：What's the difference between duties and achievements？A：Duties describe the specific responsibilities of your job.They accurately reflect what you are doing or have done in each of your previous jobs.In other words，it is the "what you do" of your job.Achievements describe in specific terms "how well" you did in your job.Q：Many of my achievements are team﹣based，how do I draft them in my Application？A：You should include your team﹣based achievements in your Application.Indicate that you were part of a team，and describe your specific role in reaching the goal.FAQs on general Application guidelinesQ：Can I save my Application？A：Yes.You should save your Application when you make changes and/or update it.It is recommended that you save different versions of your Application in Word format and then edit the Application online according to the post for which you are applying.Q：Can I update my Application to apply for a new JO？A：Yes.Each time you apply for a new JO，we recommend that you review your Application and update it，if appropriate，or target it to better reflect your suitability for the new JO.Your updates will not affect the content of Applications previously submitted against other JOs.Q：Must I use up all the available characters in each section of my Application？A：No.In fact，doing so may result in an unnecessary lengthy Application.Unless you have an enormous range of experiences，there is no reason to use up all the space given.Applicants are encouraged to list their duties and achievements in a clear and brief manner.21.Which of the following descriptions best shows your achievements？A.I succeeded in directing a video presentation，assisting our group to win the first prize.B.I'm good at creating proposals for new product ideas aimed at a specific market.C.I'm in charge of the clearance，production and distribution of information material.D.I've developed various interests，ranging from oil painting to designing model.22.Unless you are eager to apply for erstwhile JO，you'd better .A.target your focus on your interest in the JOB.save your latest application in Word formatC.prepare one application with all your competenciesD.update your application to match new requirements23.Applicants are expected to in their applications.A.introduce what JOs they have previously applied toB.list the greatest achievements they have made in detailC.give key information about their experiences and achievementsD.provide the results of their tests，assessments and examinationsBNew York’s UndersideA dangerous jobSince I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 "sandhogs" —— the nickname for the workers who build New York's underground—— boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft du g through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That's enough water to fill more than2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly- -only four meters a day- -and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars."Why do this work?" I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian's father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. "It's the money," he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog's chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above- ground construction wo rker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you," one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.A river of sewageOn another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city's sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, "What happens if you fall in and you're not attached to a rope?" He said if you didn't pull yourself out, you'd drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it's still a terrifying thought.Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, "See any alligators?" Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn't believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.24.The writer of the passage is .A.considering getting a job as a tunnel workerB.taking tourists into New York City’s tunnelsC.interested in what lies beneath New York CityD.reporting on the benefits of working underground.25.What danger that underground workers face is NOT mentioned?A.slippingB.being cut by rockC.drowningD.elevators falling26.Sewer workers probably carry tanks of air because .A.the smell of the sewage is badB.the tunnel is filled with smokeC.they have to dive into the sewageD.they need to clean the air in the sewer27.What would be the best heading for the last paragraph?A.Recent Alligator SightingB.The 80-Year-Old AlligatorC.How to Survive SewageD.Just a Story?CHARDCORE TANO*C is an independent Japanese music label that is known for releasing music compilations and albums focused on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore,happy hardcore,and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by Yoshikazu Nagai（who at the time used the Akai Hito alias）,originally under the name of Hardcore Tanoshii,but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album HARDCORE SYNDROME. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin（同人）music releases,and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years,including the annual TANO*C TOUR series of events and the S2TBTANO*C events done in collaboration with kors k’s S2TB Recording label.From 2011 to 2018,HARDCORE TANO*C were very closely linked with BEMANI,most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C’s members were frequent contributors to BEMANI,and KONAMI even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to various other music game titles.Many guest artists have appeared in HARDCORE TANO*C compilations, including Ryu☆,kors k,DJ Shimamura,m1dy,M-Project,JAKAZiD（as Joshka）,Hommarju,Camellia,lapix,C-Show,Maozon,Nhato, Dustvoxx,and Akira Complex.By the end of 2017,HARDCORE TANO*C has started to produce major artist album releases,containing licensed works done for music games by the circle’s artists. From September 2018,a sub-label directed by DJ Myosuke named HARDCORE TANO*C HARD has been established, which focuses on harsher music. HARDCORE TANO*C is also heavily involved in the 2019 rhythm game WACCA,which is published by MARVELOUS！,with nearly its entire staff contributing to the game.A song composed by various members of HARDCORE TANO*C,BATTLE NO.1,was planned to be in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN for the The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship,under the artist name of TANO*C SOUND TEAM. KONAMI rejected the song（likely due to their poking fun（打趣）of the BEMANI Sound Team moniker, which was at its most extreme in the time of that event）,and it later appeared instead in the HARDCORE TANO*C-produced game WACCA on August 1st,2019. It also appeared in lowiro’s Arcaea as part of the Arcaea× HARDCORE TANO*C Collaboration（联动）and SEGA’s maimai でらっくすSplash. It was added to Muse Dash on February 5,2021.28．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph？A．Some basic information about HARDCORE TANO*C.B．The founder and members of HARDCORE TANO*C.C．The relationship between Yoshikazu Nagai and HARDCORE TANO*C.D．The relationship between BEMANI and HARDCORE TANO*C.29．Among the following members, who has NOT shown up in this music label ‘s compilations？A．Camellia. B．Laur. C．Maozon. D．Akira Complex.30．What can we know about the rhythm game WACCA？A．It was produced by HARDCORE TANO*C last year.B．None of MARVELOUS！’s employees is working for it.C．The song BATTLE NO.1 was included in this game.D．It had a collaboration with Muse Dash in Feb.,2021.31．Arcaea has collaborated with both HARDCORE TANO*C and WACCA. As a player of Arcaea,what should you do？A．Try playing WACCA if possible.B．Spread bad comments about HARDCORE TANO*C.C．Only cheer for the game or the artist you like.D．Ask the official staff about the song selection petulantly.DMost managers can identify the major trends of the day. But in the course of conducting research in a number of industries and working directly with companies, we have discovered that managers often fail to recognize the less obvious but profound ways these trends are influencing consumers aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors. This is especially true of trends that managers view as peripheral to their core markets Experts from Harvard Business School give some advice to managersOne strategy, known as infuse and augment, is to design a product or service that keeps most of the attributes and functions of existing products in the category but adds others that address the needs and desires unleashed by a major trend. A case in point is the Poppy range of handbags, which the firm Coach created in response to the economic downturn of 2008. The Coach brand had been a symbol of wealth and luxury for nearly 70 years, and the most obvious reaction to the downturn would have been to lower prices, However that would have risked cheapening the brand's image.Instead, they initiated consumer-research project which revealed that customers were eager to lift themselves and the country out of tough times. Using these insights, Coach launched the lower-priced Poppy handbags, which were in bright colors.and looked more youthful and playful than conventional Coach products. Creating the sub-brand allowed Coach to avoid an across-the-board price cut. In contrast to the many companies that responded to the recession by cutting prices, Coach saw the new consumer mindset as an opportunity for innovation and renewal.A more radical strategy is 'combine and transcend'. This involves combining aspects of the product's existingvalue proposition with attributes addressing changes arising from a trend. To create a novel experience - one that may land the company in an entirely new market space. At first glance, spending resources to incorporate elements of a seemingly irrelevant trend into one's core offerings sounds like it's hardly worthwhile. But consider Nike's move to integrate the digital revolution into its reputation for high-performance athletic footwear. In 2006,they teamed up with technology company Apple to launch Nike+, a digital sports kit comprising a sensor that attaches to the running shoe and a wireless receiver that connects to the user's iPad.By combining Nike's original value proposition for amateur athletes with one for digital consumers, the Nike+ sports kit and web interface moved the company from a focus on athletic apparel to a new plane of engagement with its customer.Once you have gained perspective on how trend-related changes in consumer opinions and behaviors impact on your category, you can determine which of our innovation strategies to pursue. Trends -- technological, economic, environmental, social, or political -- that affect how people perceive the world around them and shape what they expect from products and services present firms with unique opportunities for growth.32.The underlined word “peripheral”in Para graph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.A.marginalB.importantC.subjectD.relevant33.According to the second paragraph, Coach was anxious to_____.A.follow what some of its competitors were doing.B.maintain its prices throughout its range.C. safeguard its reputation as a manufacturer of luxury goods.D modify the entire look of its brand to suit the economic climate.34.What does the writer suggest about Nike's strategy?A.It was an extremely risky strategy at the time.B, it was a strategy that only a major company could afford to follow.C. It was the type of strategy that would not have been possible in the past.D It was the kind of strategy that might appear to have few obvious benefits.35.The best title for the passage is probably_____.A.Knowing more about your customers.B.Making the most of trendsC.Eyes on strategiesD.Following the advice第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievements and success. Some careers that have been traditionally dominated(支配)by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as well. It is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business that operates high-tech machines.Many women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting on. Many of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universities. You can also see many women as lecturers and reviewers of different businesses. One example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needs.From the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and able to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.However, there are still pronounced biases (偏见) against women in high leadership positions. There still exists the so-called gender-role stereotyping. Women need help to cope with and manage the typical stereotyping of women workers and managers. Those who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to women. And most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as “male preferred” or “male applicants only”. Even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidents.Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package(薪酬) compared to women. Because of this, many women are just contented，to be in subordinate positions in finance, human resources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive roles.There are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employment. Our culture does not encourage women to excel in government and in business-related jobs. Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokens. The abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other women.If you are a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers，career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals. It will help you have the self-confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society that still prefers men for top level positions.【1】From the first paragraph we know that women________.A．work mainly to help meet the rising costs of livingB．want to provide their children with better educationC．also want to take some more challenging jobsD．have taken up some work that men can do well【2】It can be inferred that in the past it was surprising to see women________.A．taking jobs outside homeB．working as pilots or astronautsC．educating their children at homeD．operating machines at home【3】The underlined word “subordinate” in the 5th paragraph has a similar meaning to“________”．A．higher B．lowerC．more rewarding D．less demanding【4】What's the best title for the passage?A．Women working out of housesB．Women fighting against biasesC．Women getting larger incomeD．Women aiming high in careers全国高三高中英语专题试卷答案及解析一、单项选择1.—It's a pity that Andrew didn't want to go to the conference.—________ willing to go，we could have paid all his expenses.A．Had he been B．BeingC．Was he D．He had been【答案】A【解析】考查虚拟语气与倒装。

Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school. At the end of one class, I chatted with David Gale, a senior high jumper, about how to improve his 1 and how motivation played an important role in one's achievement. He, out of the blue, asked me what would happen if he broke the school record.Not 2 of his passion and determination, I paused for a moment, but then promised that I would paint his name on the wall of our classroom. He was very excited and suggested that I go purchase the paint.Nothing more was mentioned about the 3 until two weeks later, the young warrior ran into the classroom with a huge smile on his face. "I did it! I broke the record!" he shouted as I was still gathering information to 4 what I had promised him. I joined in with the high-fives and fist bumps 5 him.The next day, it was done! G-A-L-E. Huge blue letters with white edges, the school colors. I could see his excitement even surpassed the success itself. Actually, his coach said the wall was part of the 6 to break the record.What happened next was totally amazing. Many students, even from other classes, saw the name on the wall and 7 how they, too, could be considered for the wall. With the enormous 8 , I had to add more names to the wall, and more than 100 names appeared there in the following 10 years.Many folks admitted they would not have 9 what they did if the wall hadn't been part of the reward.

Here are four adventures that can let you have unforgettable experiences.The Wild Species AdventureThe site of this adventure is close to a national park, which has elephants, monkeys, leopards, red river hogs and so on. Visitors can go on a journey by jeep and have a chance to see the country's natural beauty and different birds in a nearby reserve.The Fishing AdventureGabon has some really big fish and miles of untouched coastlines, and the fishing spots are not packed, because they are wide apart. When fishing, visitors can find themselves in pleasant places, surrounded by palm trees during the adventure.

Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her effort s.Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.Duchess Nina’s work during World War Ⅱwas not without its risks. She frequentlySadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she contin ued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina’s work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.4．How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government’s orders?A. Worried.B. Calm.C. Excited.D. Encouraged.5．What was the biggest problem that Duchess Nina faced?A. Nobody gave her any donations.B. She couldn’t find enough volunteers.C. The animals didn’t have enough food to eat.D. Local farmers didn’t give her enough support.6．Why did Duchess Nina start the center in Scotland?A. To keep domestic animals there.B. To attract local protection groups.C. To provide a home for wild animals.D. To offer a safe place for animal owners.7．What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Urban.B. Dangerous.C. Faraway.D. Poor.Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.8．How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 9．What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.10．Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.11．What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.The most obvious dog fetish (迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, "How cute! "It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the "cute economy' which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things；animals of extreme size；animals with unusual looks；and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the "cute economy" are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized (装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.Unfortunately, the price of the "cute economy" comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the "cute economy' with caution, like resisting the commodification (商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the "cute economy". We can also choose not to "like" or"share" images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our "impulses". 12．What is the key to the "cute economy" according to the text?A.Cute animals' attractive appearance.B.Taking pictures of different animals.C.Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.D.Posting cute animals' pictures on social media.13．Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content?A.A normal-sized dog is eating bones.B.A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.C.A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.D.A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.14．What is the side effect of the "cute economy"?A.It will change the animals' nature.B.It may make the animals not so cute.C.It may cause health problems to the animals.D.It will result in a decline in animal population.15．What may be the best title for the text?A.Marketing Strategy-CutenessB.The Cute Economy and Its PriceC.Happiness from PetsD.Share Pictures or Not二、七选五16．Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs? Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.①______If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.Practise self-acceptance and self-compassion (自我同情) . ②______ Self-acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows youto recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation. ③______ As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal. Instead, you are ready to go ahead. ④______Of course, failures are actually not fun. ⑤______ Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.A.Understand what has gone wrong.B.Save every minute to avoid failures.C.They are the basics of moving on from failures.D.If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.e the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.F.Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.G.It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.三、完形填空（15空）Fiona liked to sing at home.

Which book describes the experience of exploring the undersea?A.Three Little Words.B. Jabari Jumps.C. There Might be Lobsters.D. And Then Comes Summer.BIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you, depend on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.4. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1 ?A. feel upset.B. stay calm.C. keep up.D. feel shy.5. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that______A. problems cause troublesB. personalities are built on failuresC. challenges can be avoidedD. attitude is everything6. According to the last paragraph, when we're in trouble, we _______.A. can only depend on our parentsB. should only believe ourselvesC. are not aloneD. are not confident7. What’s the writer’s purpose to write the passage?A. To prove.B. To compare.C. To encourage.D. To explain.CWhen nature is left alone, a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area. But when man starts his work in nature, the balance is likely to be destroyed. He grows a crop and takes it away to eat; then there are no dead leaves to fall on the ground, holding water while it sinks into the surface, or decaying(腐烂) and adding humus(腐殖质) to the soil. Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill, he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer. To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes, he uses some kind of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers are of great help, but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plantsshould also be put on the land. In some places, it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.In the past, when the world population was much lower than it is now, a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed. When a field had been used some years and had become tired, the farmer could move to another place. The tired land then slowly recovered. Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay. But nature, left alone, would take a long time to bring back the land to its former state; the length of time required would depend on local conditions, but it might well be ten years.It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year. If the crop is changed, the land will suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way. Different plants have different effects on the soil. Therefore, a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil. Much will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another, a method known as the rotation(轮作) of crops.8. According to the passage, the land will become poorer, _________.A. if the humus is increased after the harvestB. if all the dead leaves are cleared awayC. if dead leaves decay in the soil by themselvesD. if waste plant material lying about is buried9. We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered _________.A. after new grasses and other plants have decayed againB. after nature has been left alone for several monthsC. when grasses and other plants appear againD. when the treatment is given by nature alone10. A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because _________.A. the productive power of a new field isn't higher than that of an old oneB. there will be too many grasses in a new field to grow cropsC. it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a new fieldD. there are few free fields left for him to do farming11. It is most likely that the author will go on to ________ in the paragraph following the passage above.A. introduce other methods of planting cropsB. deal with how to prevent land getting tiredC. further explain what the rotation of crops isD. start another topic of how to make use of landDCombining families with kids can be tough and offers even more unexpected problems. You just don’t know how things will shake out until everyone is under one roof, trying on new roles with name that start with “step”. This is what happened to Sheila and Will, and Sheila’s 8-year-old daughter Ashley. After the couple got married, and Will became the member of the new family, things got worse than expected. How did they make it work? Readthe full version of the story here.Shelia’s Turn: When Shelia and Will were dating, he seemed like kids, especially Ashley. He’d bring her presents, and play games with her. But after the wedding, things took a turn. Will suddenly became a super strict stepfather, scolding Ashley for watching too much cartoons, constantly picking fights and punishing her for offenses as small as spilling milk. Shelia’s thought about leaving Will, but soon after they married, they had a son, Billy. Will adores his well-behaved boy, but Ashley hates him. Shelia doesn’t know what to do--- her daughter is miserable, but leaving her husband might mean losing her son.Will’s turn: Will was so excited to be a male role model in Ashley’s life. He didn’t just want to be a guy living in her house; he wanted to treat her like his own daughter, which, to Will, meant giving Ashley more rules and help her learn responsibility. He’d always felt that Shelia let Ashley loose on everything. But after the wedding, Will was surprised that Shelia didn’t want him to do that. If Will takes away Ashley’s TV privileges or tells her to clean up her room, Shelia just lets Ashley do what she likes and does it herself. Will was tired of this and he’d rather take his son and go.The advisor’s turn: The counselor(顾问) quickly recognized their conflict as a classic case of unspoken, hidden expectations. Before the wedding, when it was just Shelia and Will, everything was easy.
