With economy being so unstable nowadays and job security being something of the past, many individuals getting ready to enter into the career world are wondering what the best careers will be in the near future. The key to finding a career path that will continue to be profitable is doing your research and determining which careers will continue to grow, which careers are not in danger of being taken over by computers and which careers will always require the human hands. The first category of careers that will continue to be in demand are healthcare careers. Although technology will continue to improve testing capabilities, there is no way for technology to take over the jobs of the many healthcare professionals required to keep a hospital running successfully. Therefore, for anyone who is comfortable with such a career as nursing, this is a great career path to follow. The next popular career path that will not diminish (缩减) anytime in the near future is in educational institutions. It is true that many college courses are being taught online these days but even then a real person is needed to move the class along. In regular classrooms all around the world technology is being used to supplement the traditional textbook learning but a teacher will always be needed to teach students how to make use of such tools. Food service careers are also a career category that will continue to be popular in the future. Technology may be able to improve the way we prepare and cook food but there will always have to be an actual person behind that technology making everything run smoothly and there will always have to be someone to serve food as well. Choosing a career for the future when nobody really knows what the future holds can be very scary (可怕的). Research a variety of careers in order to find one that's right for you but that won't be obsolete (过时的) in a few years and you will be thankful down the road .1. What does the author mean by saying "job security being something of the past"?A) People with jobs worry more about their safety now.B) The working environment becomes more dangerous now.C) The working conditions are getting worse and worse now.D) People with jobs are more likely to become unemployed now. 2. When it comes to choosing a career, individuals are advised to ________.A) follow a continuously profitable career path B) follow the healthcare careers such as nursingC) determine which career requires the high technologyD) determine which career can be taken over by computers3. What's the author's comment on the phenomenon of college courses being taught online?A) It will become less popular in the future.B) It will attract less attention in the future.C) It is true, but real teachers are still needed. D) It is true, so teachers are not needed at all.4. What does the author think of technology used in some fields of our life?A) It is being used to improve testing capabilities.B) It is powerful and it can take over the jobs of human workers.C) It is being used to improve the way we prepare and cook food.D) It is beneficial, but it cannot take over the jobs of professionals. 5. The phrase "down the road" (Line 2, Para. 5) can be replaced by ________.A) in the pastB) on the roadC) in the future D) along the road
【听力原文】 Police Departments in many communities across the United States say they are facing a serious manpower shortage and attracting new recruits is not as easy as it used to be. Police officer Reggie Brown is on duty in Oakland, California, a city known for its crime rate. After 18 years, Brown says the job has become routine. When he started, he loved the excitement. "It was everything you could dream of—I mean, you get to drive fast, chase folks, and put people in jail. It was like, you know, on a nightly basis—there was plenty of action then." The promise of such thrills had young people like him lining up for police work 20 or 30 years ago.But, as Miami Police Department spokesman Delrish Moss notes, things have changed "When I grew up, you wanted to be a police officer, an astronaut or president of the United States. I don"t hear those three on the top of the list anymore." 第1题A. The rising crime rate.B. A serious manpower shortage.C. A serious finance shortage.D. The crisis of reputation.第2题E. An astronaut is a promising profession.F. Reggie Brown didn"t love his work at first.G. A police officer was a popular profession.H. An athlete earns much more than the president.
In Nepal, a row over tuition fees has closed down around 8,500 of the country’s public schools, affecting some one and a half million students.Schools were shut down on Sunday to prevent protests by left-wing studentsagainst schools charging tuition of more than 500 rupees, 6 a month.Since Wednesday, students have locked the offices of officials at 160schools that charge monthly fees in excess of 1,000 rupees. Students wantan end to all but nominal fees and a more standardized curriculum around thecountry. They also want boarding schools to set aside 25% of their places tostudents from remote areas or disadvantaged backgrounds. The protestors arguethat tuition fees rarely helped students’ welfare or improved the quality ofeducation. This is not the first protest at Nepal’s schools and universities. LastDecember, more than 4,000 schools around the capital, Katmandu, were closedfor two weeks over demands for lower tuition fees.1.How many schools’ offices of officials have been locked by the students?A) 8,500.B) 160. C) 4,000.D) 500.2.What is the students’ request according to the news?A) To standardize the curriculum.B) To put an end to all the fees.C) To set up more boarding schools.D) To make the students’ allowance higher.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. The work-life balance is dead. By this, I'm not advocating that you should give up your pursuit of having a fulfilling career and a thriving personal life, and I'm definitely not saying that you have to give up one to have the other. I also acknowledge that we have a work life problem, but I'm arguing that the concept of balance has never been helpful, because it's too limiting. You see, our language makes a difference, and how we refer to things matters because it affects our thinking and therefore our actions. At the minimum, most of us work because we want to be able to support ourselves, our families, and the people around us. In the ideal world, we're all doing work that we're proud of and that provides meaning and purpose to us. But even if your job doesn't give you shivers of joy each new day, working is a part of what each of us does and the contribution we make to society. When you separate work and life, it's a little bit harder to make that connection . But when you think of work as part of a full life and a complete experience, it becomes easier to see that success in one aspect often supports another. Losing your balance and falling isn't pleasant. A goal to balance suggests that things could quickly get off balance, and that causes terrible outcomes. It's more constructive to think of solutions that continue to evolve over shifts in life and work. Rather than falling or failing, you may have good days or better days or not-so-good days. These variations are normal, and it's more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and changing, rather than a high risk enterprise where things could go wrong with one misstep. How we talk to ourselves matters, and how we talk about issues makes a difference. Let's bury ''work life balance" and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living.1. What does the author suggest by saying "The work-life balance is dead"?A.The hope of achieving a thriving life is impossible to realize.B.The pursuit of a fulfilling career involves personal sacrifice.C.The imbalance between work and life simply doesn't exist anymore.D.The concept of work life balance contributes little to a fulling life.2. What does the author say about our use of language?A.It impacts how we think and behave.C.It reflects how we communicate.B.It changes with the passage of time.D.It differs from person to person.3. What does the author say we do in an ideal world?A.We do work that betters the lives of our families and friends.B.We do work that gives us bursts of joy each new day.C.We do meaningful work that contributes to society.D.We do demanding work that brings our capacity into full play.4. What does the author say about life?A.It is cyclical.C.It is fulfilling.B.It is dynamic.D.It is risky. 5. What does the author advise us to do?A.Make life as simple as possible.C.Balance life and work in a new way.B.Talk about balance in simpler terms.D.Strive for a more fulfilling life.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys.
