第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most just but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle (运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
1、According to the passage, the author encourage us to .
A．realise the importance of doing well at school.
B．take up part-time jobs as much as possible during the summer vacation
C．be good at all subjects.
D．use school performance to help to choose a career.
2、We can learn from the third paragraph that as a student, having a part-time job .
A．is a good way to earn extra money. B．is helpless to find out his weak points.
C．is useful for his future work. D．is a must to experience various jobs.
3、The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .
A．your background B．your school record
C．your weak points D．your part-time job
4、If a student’s school record is not good, he .
A．may do well in his future work if he chooses a career according to what he is skilled in.
B．will be a complete failure in his future work sooner or later.
C．must regret not having worked harder at school.
D．will receive further education after graduation.
22．（8分） When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines.

It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them.

24．（8分）Any actor would admit that it’s tricky to play roles based on real people. They need to do mountains of research to make sure they’re staying as true to life as possible. Besides, they try to add their own touches to the performance so that their work can be called their own.
American actor Andrew Garfield, 33, faced that dilemma when playing Desmond Doss in the film Hacksaw Ridge. Doss was a US army doctor during World War II who refused to carry a gun because of his beliefs, but saved 75 lives without firing a single shot, His actions made him the first conscientious objector—a person who objects to serving in the armed forces tor moral or conscience reasons—to be presented with the Medal of Honor, the US’s highest honor awarded for personal acts of bravery.
Garfield’s first stage of research was to study as many documentaries (纪录片)of Doss he could get his hands on. But Garfield soon realized that he needed to learn not only the Doss’ outer characteristics, but also “the deepest part of himself”, he said. He traveled to Doss’ hometown. The actor wanted to walk where Doss walked and handle the tools Doss handled , while all the time keeping in mind how the research would affect his performance.
“I don’t think I could have gone too far in terms of getting to know who Doss was,” Garfield said. “But it can’t be an impression of him. That doesn’t interest me. Garfield explains that it’s like the difference between slipping into someone’s clothes and stepping into their skin, Until he goes deep inside a role based on a real person, he doesn’t feel he’s done the work justice. And it ‘s not until he fully understands the character that Garfield feels confident he can do the things asked of the role in the script without hesitation or thought,

25．（10分）With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer.
Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has introduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that gives users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)一 allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times.
To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反过来），said Bill Melo, chief marketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard (丢弃）tank.
There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the
