21、High school is a great time to start thinking about careers, but many high schoolers don’t yet know what they want to do. 【1】. In fact, students are likely to change their minds many times, perhaps even after they enter the workforce. And some of tomorrow’s careers might not exist today.
【2】, but they should know how to explore careers and put time into investigating them and learning about their skills and interests.
Understanding what you enjoy — and what you’re good at — is the first step in exploring careers. “【3】. The question is, ‘What do you like to learn about?’” says Schneider, a school counsellor (规划师) at Sheboygan South High School in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. “If you really like science, what do you enjoy about it — the lab work, the field research?” 【4】. High school junior Kate Sours, for example, loves spending time with kids as a babysitter and enjoys helping people, so she focused on those two interests when she began considering potential careers.
Once you’ve thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym teacher or a coach. 【5】. There are hundreds of occupations, most of which are related to more than one skill area. School counsellors, teachers, and parents can help point you in the direction of occupations that match your interests and skills.
A．When you get job experience
B．If you don’t know what you want to do
C．Use the answers to those questions to identify careers that may have similar tasks
D．It’s important to think about what you like to do
E．High school students don’t have to know the exact career they want
F．But they aren’t the only options for people interested in sports
G．But school counsellors say that’s perfectly fine
22、It was the sports professionals (专业人员) among bikers, such as mountain bikers, that first used helmets (头盔) when they rode. The UCI-Union Cycliste Internationale, the ruling body of cycling, never required mandatory (强制的) helmet use. 【1】. Finally, the sporting world did make it mandatory and this led to a review of the general laws around the world.
【2】. It has long been known that a motorcyclist can be killed or have his brain seriously hurt because of a road traffic accident. In the past most people thought that because cyclists were slower on the road there was less risk of being hurt. However, this has been proven to be incorrect, 【3】.
【4】. In some European countries, cycle helmets have only become mandatory in the last few years. 【5】. However, in some countries, there are no laws whatsoever. The United Kingdom, for example, has refused to make any law to make cycle helmets mandatory for fear that a helmet law might discourage people from taking up cycling.
A．As a result, more and more cyclists are abandoning helmets
B．However, as one took the lead, others followed
C．so it is mandatory now in many countries for cyclists to wear a helmet
D．Australia was the first country to make wearing cycle helmets mandatory
E．Not wearing a helmet can cause injuries to cyclists
F．In Spain, cyclists have to wear a helmet outside urban (城镇) areas except when going uphill
G．Studies show there is a serious connection between cycling accidents and the risk of hurting heads
23、Hearing is one of our most important senses. However, many people don’t realize that they may be exposing their ears to a huge amount of potentially damaging noise on a daily basis. It’s important to protect your hearing from noise and other damaging factors.
【1】 Listening to loud music through earphones has been identified as one of the major causes of hearing damage in young people. You also need to be careful when listening to loud music in enclosed spaces, such as in a car. Turning the volume down can make a difference to your hearing.
Don’t try to clean out your ears. Many people attempt to clean out their ears using cotton buds. 【2】 In more severe cases, cotton buds may damage the thin skin and even negatively affect your hearing. You can place a couple of drops of earwax solution into your ears. The solution will soften the earwax, causing it to flow out naturally.
Avoid head injuries. Damage to the middle and inner ear due to head injury can result in hearing loss. 【3】 Always wear a helmet when riding a bike or playing any kind of contact sports, and always wear a seat belt when travelling by car.
Be careful at live concerts and shows. Attending concerts or shows where you’re exposed to loud, live music can be damaging to your hearing. To protect your ears while listening to live music, strategically position yourself away from any amplifiers, speakers or stage monitors. 【4】
Get plenty of exercise. Aerobic exercise like walking, running or cycling helps to improve blood flow to your ears, which is good for your hearing. 【5】 This also gives your ears a break from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of daily life.
A．Turn down the music.
B．See a specialist if you suffer from hearing problems.
C．The further away you are from the source of the sound, the better.
D．However, cotton buds may pack earwax deeper into the ear.
E．Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from head injury in any way possible.
F．As a result, you can’t hold a conversation with someone standing two meters away.
G．It’s even better if you can do your exercise somewhere nice and quiet, like the woods.
24、King Tut, Egypt's famous boy king, was buried with many valuable objects. A dagger discovered in his tomb has recently attracted extra attention. Researchers have concluded that the dagger was probably made from a special material.
King Tut was only about nine years old when he became ruler of Egypt more than 3,300 years ago. The young king died when he was just 19. His body was buried in a tomb filled with objects that people believed he would need in the afterlife.
In 1922, Howard Carter discovered Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Up to now, it was the best preserved ancient Egyptian tomb ever found. In 1925, Carter found the dagger which has a gold handle and an iron blade. The blade had confused experts because iron was hardly used at that time in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was so rare that it was considered more valuable than gold. Where did the iron for the blade come from?
Around the time of King Tut, ancient Egyptians started using a new word for iron that translates as “iron from the sky” This led some experts to believe that the iron for the blade came from a meteorite. But studies of the dagger carried out in the 1970s and 1990s didn't support that idea.
That's where modern technology comes in. Researchers used a new technique to examine the blade. They discovered that it was made up of iron and other materials found in meteorites. After comparing it to several meteorites, they even found its possible match—a meteorite that landed in northern Egypt thousands of years ago.
Scientists hope the new study will lead to more discoveries about other ancient Egyptian relics, “It would be very interesting to analyze more Pre-iron Age objects and we could gain precious discoveries.” Daniela Comelli, who is a professor, said.
【1】How many years did King Tut govern Egypt?
A．9.
B．10.
C．19.
D．29
【2】What do we know about Tut's tomb?
A．It was built when he was 9.
B．It has a lot of iron objects in it.
C．It was the first tomb to be found.
D．It was perfectly kept when discovered.
【3】Scientists paid extra attention to the dagger because ________.
A．its blade is made of iron
B．it is King Tut's favorite object
C．it was more valuable than gold
D．it leads to more discoveries
【4】The researchers used modern technology to show ________.
A．iron is widely used in ancient Egypt.
B．ancient Egyptian objects are excellent.
C．Tut's dagger was likely made from a meteorite.
D．more valuable objects are hidden in the tombs.
25、Five years ago, a friend asked me to look after his cat while he went on holiday, and I realized the idea had potential on a bigger scale. So I moved to London and decided to____cat sitting.
For me, cat sitting is about____two groups of people who need what the other can offer. I get to stay in people’s____without rent while they’re on holiday. The owners get____cat sitting.

I have always loved cats, and their gentle temper makes them ideal____for someone working from home. Cats have such different personalities, so it’s not surprising that I____more with some than others. An owner once told me not to____her cat to sit on me, as it had happened only once. But just four days later, the cat came over and sat on my lap. I sent her a photo!
Cat sitting helps me with my____anxiety disorder, too. I want to be around people, but sometimes I can’t. Sometimes, this anxiety even____me from leaving the house.
