Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAs 170 people sat down to dinner, I breathed a sigh of relief: The conference was going well.Running it was part of my job as a university program manager, working on a project to boostbiotech collaborations between academia and industry. When I started in the role a few yearsearlier, I thought that maybe, after years of career exploration, I had finally found the right job forme. But at the conference, I found myself wondering whether that was really what I wanted frommy career. Im a scientist, not an event plannerbut I had been too busy organizing theconference to appreciate the research being discussed. Wasit time for yet anotherchange?I started off as a lab scientist. But then discovered that the highly focused nature of lab workwasnt for me. My next job was at a pharmaceutical companyconducting literature searches. Ienjoyed the work, which allowed me to stay close to research and interact with a variety of people.But I was only offered a short-term contract, so after a year I had to move on. I then became ascientific journal editor. I loved the breadth of science that I was exposed to, but the job required alengthy commute. So, I made another dramatic change and moved back to the ivory tower for mycurrent job.It had become a pattern: I spent a few years in each role only to find that it wasnt quite theright fit. I also realized that maybe I was searching for something that didnt exist.I began to think about creative ways to add the scientific stimulation I sought to my work life.With my previous knowledge and my experience as an editor, I realized I had the skill set to dothat through freelance science writing, such as news articles for journals andblogs.With my former colleagues positive responses, I finally decided I could do my university jobon a less than full-time schedule. Fortunately, my manager agreed.For the last year, I have been a university program manager/freelance writer, and Ive neverbeen happier. Weaving the two roles together has been a bit tricky at times. But I finally feel Ihave a career that is tailored to my needs. Ive realized that a career doesnt need to be “off theshelf.” Jobs can be mixed and matched to get to one that fits.21.What did the author think of his conference organizing job in Paragraph 1?A.It gave him a sense of achievement.B.It proved that he was making progress in his career.C.It was not as meaningful as scientific research.D.It was too challenging for him.22.The author left the job as scientific journaleditor because.A.it demanded high work intensityB.he was offered only a short contractC.he was not satisfied with the payD.it was too far from home23.What does “something” (Para 3) possibly mean?A.A suitableroleB.An ideal job.C.A balancedlife.D.A fixedpattern.24.What is the authors present job?A.He works in a university and also writes on the side.B.He is an event planner and also a program manager.C.He teaches in a university and also writes booksD.He is a full-time manager and also a freelance writer.25.What is this passage mainly about?A.The authors clear career plan.B.The authors changing perception of career.C.The authors persistence in the face ofobstacles.D.The authors failure in securing a workcontract.21-25 参考答案：C D A D BPassage TwoYouve probably been seeing and hearing a lot more about “eSports” lately. Major televisionnetworks are broadcasting competitions, and even more mainstream media coverage is planned forthe near future. What are eSports and why are they so popular?Loosely defined, eSports are video game competitions. These can be anything from a localtournament (锦标赛) in a video game store to those staged in 25,000-seat arenas, watched live bymillions of people around the world. In practical terms, “eSports” refers to the competitionsengineered by global organizations that culminate in big-money championship tournaments-dollar figures that can exceed $1,000,000 for winners.The second question - “Why are they getting so popular?” -is more nuanced. The biggestreason is that fans of games enjoy watching them played at the highest level. Its fun seeing the topplayers in the world do what they do best. There are plenty of other reasons the eSportscommunity is growing. All of the controversies, drama, and compelling individuals from themainstream sports world exist in eSports as well. Top players move from team to team like freeagents, retire and return to competition unexpectedly, and experience unlikely come-from-behindvictories and crushing defeats. New challengers consistently emerge on the scene, ready to takedown championship teams and generate compelling rivalries. The parallels with traditional sportsand eSports are more numerous than many realize.Perhaps the biggest difference between traditional sports and eSports is the viewers. Unlikemainstream athletic competitions, which appeal to a broad range of demographics, consumers ofeSports are overwhelmingly young and male. For example, over 70 percent of League of Legends(the most popular eSports game in terms of dollars and participants) viewers are males, and thevast majority of them are under 26. This means a couple of things, both of them appealing toadvertisers looking to reach this young and lucrative market - the audience will grow as moreyoungsters are introduced, and as they get older, their purchasing power increases.26.It is stated in Paragraph 1 that eSportshaveA.caused competition among mediaB.drawn an increasing number of youthsC.crated many broadcasting companiesD.attracted major television networks27.According to Paragraph 2, eSports.A.can be staged only in local stadiumsB.can lead to a huge sum of awardC.may be hard to define preciselyD.may be loosely linked to video games28.The word “nuanced”（Para3） most probablymeans “”.A.strangeB. outstandingC. specificD. complicated29.Which of the following is Not a reason for the growth of the eSports community?A.The stories about the top playersB.The fun of watching top-level performanceC.The investment from governmentsD.The parallels with the mainstream sports30.Traditional sports and eSports are differentmainly in.A.their rulesB. their importanceC. their profitsD. their audiences26-30 参考答案：D B D C DPassage ThreeSenator Kamala Harris was half right when she said we need to address climate change basedon “science fact, not science fiction.” The truth is, we need both. Science fiction has an importantrole to play in rescuing the future from the huge challenges were facing and the responses toHarriss statement illustrate this perfectly.When Harris statement about climate change went out on social media, a number of peoplepointed out the truth: Science fiction has been helping us to prepare for a world of potentialclimate disasters for years. But an equal number of loud voices disagreed with Harriss warningsabout climate change.And thats why science fiction is more important than Harris gives it credit for. No amount ofscientific evidence will convince deniers or the vast number of people who merely live in astate of denial. We live in a post-truth era in which facts and fiction are blurring into anindistinguishable mess and power belongs to whoever can tell the best story, true or not. Whatmatters is just how something makes us feel which is why we need better stories, that, in thewords of author Neil Gaiman, “lie in order to tell the truth.”Stories about climate change might be fiction, but they can help to sway peoples hearts andminds in a different way than a recitation of the undeniable facts. Science fiction creators havebeen looking for ways to restore peoples faith in the future. Authors such as Alexandra Rowlandhave started a conversation about creating a new type of stories called “Hopepunk ” that showpeople reasons to believe we really can do the hard work of fixing our problems. Some otherauthors are creating a new genre called “Solarpunk”that aims to tell stories about usingtechnological and scientific innovation to help the environment.When the truth becomes near-impossible to distinguish through the fog of disinformation and“alternative facts,” people tend to feel powerless to change the world. Activist L.A. Kauffman sayspeople need to be reminded that they “have more collective power than they realize. AddsKauffman, “There are truths we can get to through the imagination that are hard to get to throughpurely factual accounts.”31.How does the author comment on Senator Harris statement about climatechange?A.Really confusingB. Partially trueC. Quite convincingD. Totally wrong32.The deniers in Paragraph 3 refer to those who denythatA.science fiction is importantB. we are in a post-truth eraC. climate change is a serious issueD. our opinions actually matter33.The author cites Neil Gaiman in order to emphasizethatA.fiction may better convey the truthB.it is difficult to tell the fact from fictionC.the power of fiction is overestimatedD.fiction makes us feel better about ourselves34.What do “Hopepunk” and “Solarpunk” have in common?A.A focus on technologicalinnovationB.A vivid description of the harsh realityC.An intention to broaden our horizonsD.An optimistic outlook for the future35.What might be Kauffman attitude toward science fiction?A.AppreciativeB. ConcernedC. NegativeD. Unclear参考答案：参考答案：31-35：BAADAPassage FourMany people have looked to the stars and wondered what it would be like to take a trip intoouter space. Ever since the space program began, traveling beyond Earth has been a privilege for aselect few, namely, astronauts. The rest of us have had to imagine what it would be like, but thatmay soon change.Those who favor expanding space exploration feel that it is time to go beyond thegovernment-funded National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program and tocreate opportunities for individuals and businesses to explore outer space. Imagine privatelyfinanced research outposts in space, missions to Mars, and mining operations on the Moon. Thespace frontier could indeed be the next gold rush!Imagine what it would be like to travel in space. Those who have been lucky enough to visitspace have all called it an amazing experience. The view of Earth and the stars must be spectacular,and the experience of living in “zero gravity” would be fascinating. The first American woman tovisit space, Sally Ride, said that it was the greatest fun of her life. Imagine the thrill of booking aflight for a weekend stay (or longer) at a space hotel. It turns out that a space hotel would be mucheasier to design and build than the International Space Station; early estimates of the cost to buildthe hotels indicate that they would be less expensive if th
