22、An 87-year-old great grandfather in Japan has earned his degree in economics(经济学) in a university. For this achievement, Yoshimichi Harada may be the country’s oldest college student. Although he doesn’t expect to get full-time employment, Mr. Harada intends to learn more.
In Harada’s time, children were expected to start working after completing just five years of primary education. Of his 53 classmates, only ten percent who came from wealthy families went on to attend high school. Harada, like the majority of his classmates, joined the army. Upon returning home, he had to work to support his family for half a century even until his children were already senior citizens. He retired(退休) at the age of 76. The Japanese great grandpa said even when he began working in the building trades, he was always reading textbooks, writing reports and memorizing important knowledge.
One day, he just told his children and grandchildren that he had to cut off their financial support to spend for his own education. Surprisingly, his family welcomed Harada’s decision and gave him new clothes, shoes and bags for use during his schooling. While in the university, this senior student shared notes with his classmates before exams and even joined friends for drinks at bars after school.
In fact, many senior citizens in Japan would like to continue their education. It's sad, however, that many of them find it hard to spare the money they earned because of their responsibility to their children and families. A government survey shows that more than 20% of the Japanese are now over 65 years old and continue to support their families. Harada, however, thinks that they should also make use of their earnings and take new directions in their life similar to what he did. He not only earned his college degree but was able to get modern education and technology in school that most old people haven’t known.
【1】What was Harada's purpose in going to university?
A．To get a better job.
B．To gain more knowledge.
C．To stay with young people.
D．To set a good example to the old.
【2】Why didn't Harada complete his education when he was young?
A．His family was poor.
B．He hated going to school.
C．He dreamt of becoming a soldier.
D．He didn't get on well with others.
【3】What was the family's attitude towards Harada's decision?
A．Uninterested.
B．Surprised.
C．Supportive.
D．Worried.
【4】Where can you possibly find this passage?
A．From a guidebook.
B．From a science report.
C．From a history book.
D．From a newspaper.
23、Heat is a killer—and climate (气候) change is driving up its body count. According to a new study, about 37 percent of heat deaths can be tied back to climate change.
The study looked at data (数据) from 732 places in 43 countries, from 1991 — 2018. They used information collected from those places to count how many deaths were caused by climate change. The numbers differed depending on places, with a larger number of climate-change related (相关的) deaths happening in warmer countries than cooler ones.
In all, about 166,000 people died of heat between 1998 and 2017. Thanks to climate change, more people are being exposed to heat waves than ever before.
But while hundreds of places were included in this new study, many areas of Africa and Southeast Asia were not, because there wasn’t data of these places. Collecting that information in the future will be extremely important for new efforts to create a global accounting of heat-related deaths and illnesses.
“The countries where we do not have the necessary health data are often among the poorest and easiest to be affected by climate change,” climate change researcher Dann Mitchell wrote in an article. “Getting these data will be key for science to provide the information needed to help these countries adapt (适应). ”
“We are thinking about these problems of climate change as something that the next generation will face,” said Ana Maria, the lead author of the paper. “It’s something we are facing already. We are throwing stones at ourselves. ”
That’s in line with other research, which has found that climate change is already a disaster for human health. Older people are especially easy to be affected. Some areas of the planet are getting hit worse than others, with extreme conditions happening even more often than expected.
【1】What does the underlined word “exposed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．True.
B．Addicted.
C．Blind.
D．Open.
【2】What will researchers most probably do?
A．To warn people of the changing climate.
B．To think of ways to keep away from heat.
C．To provide more shelters for African countries.
D．To gather more health data from poor countries.
【3】What does Ana Maria mean?
A．More older people will die.
B．Humans are ruining themselves.
C．Climate change is becoming worse.
D．The next generation will suffer more.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Extreme Weather Is on the Way
B．Humans Are Fighting with Climate Change
C．Climate Change Is Leading to More Deaths
D．Climate Change Is Going from Bad to Worse
24、 Many college students pursue internships(实习), but only a few of them have the chance to turn that experience into a future career. 【1】 But there are still strategies interns can employ to win their employer’s attention. 【2】
●Treat challenging projects as a way to test yourself.
The company may be in a field that is new to you, so the projects you work on may be equally unfamiliar. Adapting to a new environment without having prior experience can be scary. 【3】 When you show that you can take on every project with a positive attitude, your employer will know how valuable you could be as a full-time employee after graduation.
●Let your boss know you are interested in a job.
If you love your internship and want to work at the company in the future, tell your boss before you leave. It might seem direct. But it is worth putting yourself on your boss’s radar while you are still in the company. 【4】 If it is more than a few semesters away, tell him or her that you will follow up as the date gets closer.
● 【5】
Internship supervisors(主管)and colleagues are valuable members of your professional network.
They know your work and abilities. They can recommend you not only for jobs at their company, but also when you apply for other companies. Remember to send e-mails or text messages to your former bosses a few times a year. Let them know what you are doing as you progress in college.
A. Keep in touch when your internship ends.
B. Get your supervisors to recommend you.
C. This could be because of the tough job market.
D. Let your supervisor know when you will graduate.
E. Your boss’s interest on you will allow you to graduate easily.
F. But try to look at your internship as the ideal opportunity to learn a new skill.
G. Here are some suggestions for students to make the most of their internship.
25、After spending a long night driving the day before, Todd left his hotel around 5:30 a.m. to a funeral in Green Bay, Wisconsin. About half an hour into his journey, he _________ a small strange sound coming from his front tire. By 7 a. m. , he still had 70 miles ahead of him, but the noise was so loud that he knew he had no _________ but to stop.
Todd figured there was little _________ that anyone in Wild Rose, Wisconsin-a tiny town with a population of 725-could help so early in the morning. Still, he look his chance at a _________ shop. Luckily, Todd _________ Glenn Geib stocking the shelves, and he asked for help. Giving Todd a quick look, he asked why he was so dressed up, and Todd _________ his situation.
The repairman _________ the car and told Todd what he’d feared: the wheel bearing (轴承) was failing. Fixing it would take a few hours, but there was no chance the car would make it that _________ without repairs.
Distressed, Todd started finding a backup plan. Could he _________ a car at such short-notice? Geib checked in at the store across the street, but its only rental car wasn’t__________. Finding another place to rent would require a 40-mile drive.
“I must have looked pretty stressed out at this time because Glenn then reached into his pocket, __________ the keys to his vehicle and said “Take my truck and get going’.” Todd wrote in a Facebook post. With a smile, Geib __________ that the truck could go 120 miles per hour if needed.
The men had met just 10 minutes before and didn’t know each other’s names, but Geib __________. Todd made it to the funeral. When he came back to the garage seven hours later with a __________ heart, he stuck around to chat with Geib.
