21、As I look up at the hundreds of fireworks in the sky, I hear the bells ringing in a small temple signifying the coming of the Chinese New Year. Though I may not believe in or understand many of the New Year traditions here, the similarities between the coming of this New Year and the beginning of my new life in China are not lost on me.
My first few days in China were a culture shock to say the least. Having arrived late in the semester, I immediately had to begin my beginners’ Chinese classes, along with the newest class of overseas students. Being surrounded by a language that is not your own is unbelievably frustrating and isolating. Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing, it’s not like you can have a guess, or work it out through whatever little knowledge you have other Latin-originated languages. If you don’t know what it says, then that’s it. However, with time passing, I have found myself progressing, though painfully slowly. The first time I direct a taxi by myself, the driver actually understands where I want to go, which is hugely rewarding. Still, it is never long until my sheer lack of language skill is exposed and I come crashing back to earth, usually immediately upon leaving the taxi.
Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill. However, it is not the only thing I will gain in China. After this year of learning Chinese, I aim to gain my Master’s degree here at UJN. Opportunities do just pop up rather occasionally: from being offered jobs teaching English, to being asked to appear on game-shows for Shandong TV. So, for now, I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons and enjoying my time here. Everything takes some time getting used to, but that’s part of the adventure and, most of all, employment. So, much like the Chinses New Year that I was lucky enough to be part of, I am just looking forward to a fresh start and a new journey in China.
【1】Why couldn’t the author guess the meaning of the Chinese language?
A．Because of his late arrival.
B．Because of his experience of culture shock.
C．Because of the unique why of Chinese writing.
D．Because of his knowing lite of the Latin language.
【2】What does the author want to show through his taxi experience?
A．He is pleased to have made progress in Chinese.
B．He is good A chatting with the taxi driver.
C．He finds it easy to order a taxi in China.
D．He is poor at using public transport.
【3】What is the author’s present expectation?
A．To be a teaching assistant.
B．To settle down in China.
C．To be involved in more cultural activities.
D．To become a host on TV.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Studying in China: overwhelming but rewarding.
B．Coming to China: more opportunities awaiting.
C．Acquiring Chinese: valuable skills guaranteed.
D．Learning Chinese: adventurous but enjoyable.
22、Andrew started his job four years ago at a job search company Glassdoor.com, when he worked in a computer programming language called Stata. Then other programming languages appear, and he has had to continually learn new skills. He says the ever-changing universe of work requires employees to be critical thinkers and fast to adapt to the new environment.
People need to learn new technologies and apply their skills quickly and regularly. When companies hire new workers, they are not always looking for knowledge of a certain software, but soft skills like problem solving, effective communication and leadership. They also may want candidates who show a willingness to keep learning new skills.
Students may believe that studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as the STEM fields, will easily lead to a good first job. But employers are telling colleges: you are producing engineers, but they do not have the skills we need. That means finding new ways to solve a problem is more important than using established steps to do so.
To get students ready, some colleges and even high schools, are working on building critical thinking skills. One example of this is at the private Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. For three weeks in January, students either get jobs or go on trips. The experience gives them a better sense of what they might do in the future.
Career offices at universities also place a lot of importance on interview skills, teaching young people more than writing an effective resume and dressing well. They have to learn how to perform best on video and phone interviews, and how to deal with new ways of being chosen for a job.
【1】What does the job at Glassdoor.com require Andrew to do?
A. To apply what he learned in college to his work.
B. To keep learning new knowledge to keep up.
C. To have a good command of several languages.
D. To keep changing jobs for different skills.
【2】What quality do companies require of new workers?
A. Skills at solving problems and effective communication.
B. Willingness to stop work and go for further education.
C. Tricks at managing a whole department or research team.
D. Readiness to stay behind after work and work overtime.
【3】What message do employers convey to colleges?
A. Interview skills and effective resume are necessary for students.
B. Good basic knowledge in related field is essential for students.
C. Many new ways of looking for graduate employees are popular.
D. College students should have the skills for solving problems.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. New Skills Are Required of Employers
B. Traditional Education Limits Job Chances
C. Tomorrow’s Jobs Require Soft Skills
D. What You Learn Today Decides Your Future
23、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession.
C. The man’s job was bike racing. D. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
【2】We can infer from the text that .
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas
C. life was hard for the young family. D. the stranger brought over the bike
【3】How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From TV news.
C. From a newspaper. D. From a stranger.
【4】What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C. News reports make people famous. D. One should take care of their bike.
24、The Best Films of 2022
Tar
Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tar. She is widely considered as one of the greatest living composer-conductors and first-ever female music director of a German orchestra. It is an unfolding thriller about a brilliant artist who’s destroyed by her own appetites. So many of the people who see “Tar” come away believing that Lydia Tar actually exists.
The Fabelmans
Spiclberg was right to wait this long to tell the story of his youth on film. He has made a vivid and well-structured biography that looks back in love and anger. The movie not only aches at memories of watching the separation of his parents, but also tells teen tales of romance and prejudice. And we can feel Spielberg’s enthusiasm in the medium he would revolutionize.
Turn Every Page
If Lizzic Gottlicb’s documentary about Robert Caro and Robert Gottlicb were just a piece of good-old-days literary work, it wouldn’t be a deep and satisfying movie. Robert Caro, who is an outstanding author of “The Power Broker”, and Robert Gottlieb, the legendary editor who has guided all of Caro’s books, emerge as stimulating giants. What unites them is their devotion to the civilizing glory of the word.
The Musical
The plot of the movie is about Evan, a New York kid suffering from his parents’ divorce, as he tries to absorb himself into small-town Indiana and stage a successful Coming-of-Age Day. The more we see the movie directed by Tamra Davis, the more we will be addicted to the magic of the songs and the energy released by the musical sequences.
【1】What is the setting of the first movie Tar?
A．Germany history.
B．Literary world.
C．Classical music.
D．Indiana culture.
【2】Which movie would you choose if you like documentary?
A．Tar.
B．The Musical.
C．Turn Every Page.
D．The Fabelmans.
【3】What do the movies The Fabelmans and The Musical have in common?
A．They are both shot in New York.
B．They focus on teenagers’ school life.
C．They are both biographies of the directors.
D．They show the influence of parents’ relationship.
