Hot Spots for Retirees to Start Their Encore Career

Encore Career: Vocational School Instructor

Retire in: Los Angeles, CA

Ever since IBM CEO Ginni Rometty coined the term “new collar” to describe well-paid jobs that require specific skills but not necessarily a degree, vocational schools have made a serious comeback. Apparently instructors are in short supply in sunny L.A., where there are 13 jobs at vocational schools for every applicant on the market. This is a great opportunity for skilled retirees since, unlike teaching at a public school that requires a state certificate, the only requirement here is that you be a seasoned expert in your field.

It was rush hour on the m orning of June 1 in the West Texas city of San Angelo. Heather Santellano, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on Houston、Harte Frontage Road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year- old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Santellano turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda skidding off the road and down an embankment(堤)that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would go airborne and plunge onto the road some 20 feet below.

Then a bit of luck: As the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck on the cement lip of the

embankment ledge, stopping it cold. The occupants, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall, literally teetering(摇摇欲坠)on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could send it over.

Jacob Rodriguez watched the scene unfold from the ‘T’ruck Repair Plant where he works. Then he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.

Meanwhile, Julio Vasquez and his nephew, Marco Vasquez, were driving to their jabs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a heavy-duty strap(皮带)，and returned to the swinging car. He fastened the Mazda to an P-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out.

But their departure shifted the car’s weight, causing it to lean forward. The men, st ill on-the trunk, asked Santellano to jump into the back seat to rebalance the weight. She did and then inched out the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.

24. What do we know about Heather Santellano?

A. She was a careless driver.

B. She drove her twins to school.

C. She ran into a pickup truck.

D. She made a sharp turn to avoid the truck.

B. Describe the car’s dangerous situation.

C. Add some background information.

D. Explain why people came to the rescue.

26. What is the most critical in the rescue process?

B. Cooperation.

C. Calmness.

D. Gravity.

27. Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?

A. Persistence will pay off. .

B. One in trouble, all to help.、

C. Many hands make light work.

D. Love makes the world go round.

Andrew Grey doesn't fit most people's idea of an astronomer. He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a star system hiding in data from NASA's Kepler space telescope.

Mr. Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding. For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization (民主化) to science.

“This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in，” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and co-founder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects. Citizen scientists can contribute to breakthroughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics.

“As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project，” Lintott says. “Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial. Machine learning allows computers to do some pattern recognition. But humans, particularly amateur scientists, don't stay focused on what they're supposed to. And that's good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”

“And citizen science doesn't have to be directed by a scientist，” says Sheila Jas anoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University. “Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists，” she says. That's what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests that caused a broader investigation of lead levels.

Citizen-powered research is as old as scientific inquiry. For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them. Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welcome help from everyday people.

As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that we're intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”

28．What made citizen scientists appear?

A．The high level of science projects.

B．The development of technology.

C．The support of the government.

D．The foundation of Zooniverse.

29．What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines?

A．Humans can identify patterns more swiftly.

B．Humans focus their attention on data.

C．Humans can observe uncommon things.

D．Humans have stronger emotions.

30．What is Lintott's attitude towards citizen science?

A．Favorable. B．Cautious.

C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.

31．What would be the best title of the text?

A．Citizen Scientists Can Be Intelligent

B．Science Is Important to Everyone

C．Anyone Can Be a Scientist

D．Science Is Everywhere

It seems that the great de sire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.

I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.

Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new

directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.

I k now that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes

a young non-conformist stand out like a Martian. These days there’s a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Well, go to it. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

32.Why was the author worried about his daughter’s popularity in her new school?

A. She might find no true friends.

B. She would ignore her academic performance.

C. She had no idea of her own.

D. She might betray her true self.

33.What does the author think of most teenagers?

A. They’re afraid of getting lost in life.

B. They have difficulty understanding each other.

C. They lack the courage to be truly different.

D. They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.

34.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "non-conformist" in Paragraph 4?

A. Someone who cares about others’ opinion.

B. Someone who desires popularity greatly.

C. Someone who behaves in his own way.

D. Someone who wants to please others.

35.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.

B. To tell parents how to guide their children.

C. To criticize the present values and beliefs.

D. To suggest a good way to be popular.

Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn.Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information.36 The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.

Learning disabilities aren't contagious(传染的)，but they can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes，like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles，too.Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.37

Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.

It's very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability.But kids don't have to figure all this out on their own.38 Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.

Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.39 But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you're facing，you're on the right track.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.

To make this special help really work，you'll need to practise the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.40 Soon，you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work：More fun and success at school!

A．As a result，some people learn differently.

B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.

C．That can be a challenge，but you can do it.

D．You might feel different from everyone else.

E．There are people who know how to do just that.

F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.

G．But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a Saturday afternoon. The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily,and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.

On such a stormy afternoon, my mother took my five-year-old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. “So many toys,” the advertisement had shouted in full and f lashy color,“that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all!”

Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. “Christine! Take care of your young brother!” Mother shouted at the top of her

voice.

“Christine!I'm going to find the Lego section(乐高积木区)! There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it!” Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide-eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie(芭比) World.

I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered(闪烁) once and went out, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.

Paragraph 1:

“Oh no,” I thought. “Where's Christopher?”

____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________

Paragraph 2:

“Christine, I'm here.”

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
