A
The fierce competitiveness of today’s job market has driven one university president to look online. He Hua,39, the president of Kunming University, has set
- 16 -
up a store on Taobao where employers can browse（浏览）and “buy” the young graduates. He, the youngest university president in China, hopes that his action will help students get on the career ladder.
Mr. He announced the online store at a graduation ceremony attended by 4,500 students and teachers on July 2, 2015. The “Kunming University talent shop” shows the university’s top 65 graduates, who each have an online profile（个人简介）showing off their talent. All of the graduates are wearing white T-shirts bearing the Kunming University logo.
The students are divided into four categories: “along the way style,” “2025 style,” “Internet style” and “elite collection style”. Clicking on each person’s photograph will show more about their character and skills. Students have also listed their career ambitions and preferred salaries. If a company is interested in hiring any of the graduates they must pay the university 1,000 Yuan to “catch” or reserve the talent. The university will then check the company’s credentials（证件）and arrange phone calls and conversations between the future employer and employee. Whether or not a job offer is made, the university will return the money to the company after a week.
Mr. He says he wants to use Taobao, which gets millions of views a month, to build a bridge between companies and students. His motto is “seek and you shall find”. He says that this is just one of many new ideas he has for the university.
The university has also recently started its own online creative market for students to help themselves show their own products as well as has a financing platform which provides students with outstanding entrepreneurial（创业者）credentials money to realize their ambitions.
21. The information of the graduates below is showed in the shop EXCEPT ?

C. their career ambitions. D. their work experience.

I started dancing when I was 11 years old. It was all I wanted for my 11th birthday and I promised my parents I would never ask for an MP3 player or iPhone or even a car ever again if I could start ballet（芭蕾）classes. If they couldn’t put me in classes because it was too expensive, I asked for ballet in a box, a video and books to follow. My parents decided that maybe they should make real ballet classes happen.
I was the tallest in my level 1 class — most of the other students were 7 and 8 years old. I stuck out like a strange and foolish thumb（拇指）. Nine months later, I mastered pointe（芭蕾舞中足尖站立的姿势）and a year after that, I was invited to join my studio’s Company Two and I really started to get serious about ballet. A secret hope began to grow. My instructors and my parents kept telling me that I had talent. I was tall for my age and had all long arms and legs; ballet just felt right in my body. When dancing, I felt so free that I was oblivious of my technique. Being able to move in such a different way made me free and easy.
I don’t still like to look in the mirror, honestly. Seeing myself made me uncomfortable; I thought I wasn’t pretty and I didn’t look as graceful（优雅的）as I felt but the studio mirror is one of the main tools a dancer has to use and eventually I had to face myself. It wasn’t easy.
When I was 5, I went through a very painful experience that changed me. I became terrified of just everything in life as a result of the harm I experienced from a teenage boy of our neighbor. To this day, even with lots of comfort, I still struggle with that fear and shame. But when I dance, I feel free.
- 16 -
What I didn’t know at first was that ballet would also be healing. It has been five years since I started ballet, during which I have learnt how not to live in fear and shame. I will never stop dancing.
24. What do you know about the author from Para.2? .
A. Her progress inspired her to go on dancing.
B. She made the least progress in the dance class.
C. She realized she could do ballet professionally.
D. She could have given up without others’ encouragement.
25. What does the underlined word “oblivious” mean?
A. Afraid. B. Forgetful.
C. Nervous. D. Sure.
26. Why didn’t the author want to look in the mirror?
A. She thought she wasn’t good enough. B. She felt upset when others looked at her.
C. It made her look less pretty.
D. It made her recall bad memories.
27. We can learn from the passage that the author .
A. has left the old place with her family B. is still suffering from the bad memories
C. is stepping out from the shadow of her life
D. feels so shameful as to refuse to see a doctor
C
People enjoy spouting off（滔滔不绝地讲）on social media, including their jobs. The surprising thing is that they express their adoration for their jobs more often than they express hate. That’s according to a new survey of over a million online posts performed by an employment website Monster.
The report shows that during the 12 months ending in March 2015, people were 4.7 times more likely to talk about loving their jobs than hating them.
- 16 -
“We can learn a lot about how people are feeling about the job market and their careers through social media,” said Joanie Courtney, senior vice president for Monster.
The expectation of yet another work week makes Sunday the least likely day to express love for jobs and 20 percent of job searches happen on Monday. People tend to express love for their jobs most often when they’re about to be away from the office for the weekend.
The people who like to express hate for their jobs tend to be from low-wage jobs like retail（零售） and food service, according to the data. Retail workers made up 37 percent of all dissatisfied posts about their jobs, almost twice the positive ones. “Retail workers tend to be younger,” Courtney said, “those positions also tend to be customer-oriented（以顾客为中心的），which is evidently a difficult issue.”
Tech workers were the least likely — among the broad industry categories studied — to express any emotion for their jobs. Only two percent of job-hating posts were from tech, suggesting tech workers have a sense of negative consequences that can come with publicly expressing one’s job frustrations.
“We live in kind of a fishbowl today,” Courtney said. “You can see in and see out and as an employee you really have to be careful about what you are saying on social media, especially about your employer.”
Americans living in the west tend to express appreciation for their jobs more than their easterly neighbors. All but one of the top 10 states by ratio（比例）of love to hate posts are west of the Mississippi. Hawaiians express love for their jobs nearly 10 times as much as they express derision（嘲弄）. Floridians are the least likely to express love for their jobs online.
28. The underlined words “adoration” in the first paragraph can be replaced by .
A. love B. dissatisfaction C. expectation D. plan
29. On which day are people most likely to express their love for work?
A. Monday. B. Tuesday. C. Friday. D. Sunday.
- 16 -
30. Why do retail workers feel dissatisfied with their work?
A. They don’t get equal pay or respect in their work.
B. Dealing with customers may be hard for them.
C. They have no patience with their work.
D. They don’t like to take challenges.
31. The last paragraph suggests that people’s love for their jobs may be influenced by ?
A. age B. sex C. the geographical factor D. working nature.
D
I’ve never heard of a highly creative or successful person being too busy. Think about the people who you hear say “I’m too busy.” More often than not, those people aren’t actually busy at all. They’re just filling their days to hide insecurities.
I recently listened to an excerpt（摘录）of an audio book by Tim Kreider, which was featured by Tim Ferriss. In the book, he says that though highly creative or successful people are doing more things in a day than most people do in a week (or even a month), they never say they are busy. Mr. Kreider’s thoughts on being busy resonated with me. If I was “too busy” to listen to that excerpt, this article wouldn’t exist and I wouldn’t have become a slightly better version of myself with something to share.
The digital age we live in should provide us with more time than we could ever imagine. Twenty years ago when you wanted to look up a fact, you had to get in your car, drive to a library, find an encyclopedia（百科全书）, look through hundreds of pages of information, only then to find your answer. Nowadays, you just hold down a button on your phone and ask a nonexistent human your question. Or you Google it.
We live in such a amazingly exciting time. The possibilities created by the Internet should not keep us tied to life full of feeling busy. Do yourself a favor and the next time you feel busy, just take a break. Take a few minutes to reassess your current situation. If you aren’t willing to actually change it and make your
- 16 -
life a little bit better through some hard work and tough choices, then at least stop complaining about it to other people. Be honest with yourself and make changes.
I’m not a self-made billionaire. I haven’t built a startup and sold it for a ridiculous amount of money. I’m not a best-selling author with a potential movie deal. I’m an entrepreneur（企业家）who isn’t willing to live someone else’s life. I measure my success by the things that make me happy, not by things that are glorified (美其名的)by our society.
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Tim Kreider is the most famous writer.
B. People who say they are busy lack security in fact.
C. Being busy is an excuse for avoiding trouble.
D. Highly successful people don’t say they’re busy.
33. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. What I thought about being busy was taught by Kreider.
B. Kreider’s thoughts on being busy were deeply influenced by me.
C. We both had similar thoughts on being busy.
D. Kreider disagreed with what I thought about being busy.
34. What’s the main idea of Para.4?
A. Suggestions on how to live in the Internet age.
B. Suggestions on how to deal with busyness.
C. Suggestions on how to work hard.
D. Suggestions on how to stop complaining.
35. What kind of person does the author belong to?
A. A billionaire who built up from nothing.
B. An entrepreneur who has sold his company.
C. An author whose books are best sold.
D. An entrepreneur who lives in his own style.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
What you should know when you travel
1. 36
Research it online and discuss it with your fellow travelers. Websites are a great place to see travel photos, journals and videos posted by real people sharing their experiences. Each trip offers you connected experiences from real people so that you can get a better picture of the place you want to go.
2. Change your money a t home.
Some people say that carrying a large amount of cash makes you vulnerable（易受攻击的）to pickpockets. I agree. They say it’s better to rely on your ATM and credit cards. 37 In a lot of places, ATM machines are hard to come by and may not accept all ATM cards. In some resorts and hotels, credit cards are not accepted, either. The exchange rate may also be far worse, depending on the location. Do your research before departure and prepare accordingly.
3. 38
Last-minute deals are indeed becoming more and more important nowadays. You’d better watch out for sales and promotions to save on air fares and hotel bookings. You may save a lot of money by booking in the last minute.
4. Consider travel insurance.
While you may not want to pay premium（保险费）rates for something that might not happen, you should have some protection in case you could not travel during the time your tickets are booked for. The average one-week vacation will cost you in insurance needs about $75 dollars. 39
5. Pack light.
40 No one has ever said to themselves while on vacation, “I’m glad I practically packed my entire closet.” Leave space for shopping and buying souvenirs. Moreover, traveling with lots of luggage limits your movement and causes discomfort.
A. Choose your location.
- 16 -
B. I would say it depends.
C. Deals on last-minute booking.
D. Only take the necessities with you when you travel.
E. This is not a lot of money considering the security it buys you.
F. Some expensive things aren’t worth the top dollar they ask for.
G. If the trip is more than you are willing to spend, make cuts where you can.

六、In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad. There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn much foreign languages more quickly. However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live
- 16 -
alone without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Also, of course, the costs are much higher there than at home. In spite of these, advantages are more than disadvantages. In my opinion, it is advisable to attend school abroad.
