The story “Building Bridges” is about a girl who lives with her grandmother. Mama Lil, and who dreams of someday becoming an engineer. The girl is now waiting for her grandmother to sign an agreement for her to take part in a summer program—a bridge project— in which a group of students would work with a team of engineers to help fix the Brooklyn Bridge.
Ahead, in the distance, stood the Brooklyn Bridge. I’d come to this place and studied the bridge a million times. And on every one of those times, I was taken by what I’d come to call Brooklyn Belle. I never got tired of looking out at Belle, who carried all kinds of people to all kinds of places, day after day.
On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other sight in the whole city. She was so beautiful. My heart was full of energy. I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out my pencil. I looked through my sketchbook(速写簿). I’d drawn Belle in the high-noon light, on snowy days, and on early mornings. My favorite sketches were those of Belle during rush hour.
Tonight I sketched slowly at first, then faster. I was proud of my drawings—I like to think of them as portraits, but each page showed a sad truth about Belle: She had become old. She was some forty years older than Mama Lil. She should be as lovely as she had been. That bridge project needed me, and I needed it.
25. For the girl, to join in the bridge project, .
A. she must first complete a summer program
B. her grandmother must first sign an agreement
C. her grandmother must first visit a team of engineers
D. she must first help engineers fix the Brooklyn Bridge
26. When did the girl draw Belle?
A. In the morning. B. At noon. C. In the afternoon. D. At night.
27. What can we infer from the underlined sentence?
A. The girl wanted to become an artist.
B. The girl was pretty pleased with herself.
C. The girl liked drawing portraits the most.
D. The girl loved the Brooklyn Bridge deeply.
28. We learn from the text that the Brooklyn Bridge .
A. was in need of repair B. carried too much traffic
C. had a history of forty years D. was more beautiful than before
C
It doesn’t matter how you choose to live your life — whatever you do, someone will judge(评价) you. With that in mind, let’s talk about being judged and criticized(批评).
When I started writing, it wasn’t the hurtful criticism from readers that prevented me from getting started. It was my own worries about what they would think
if I wrote about the things I cared about. I wrote my ideas in a private document for a year before I worked up the courage to start sharing them publicly.
Usually, haters simply criticize and move on. And that means that you can safely ignore them and continue doing your thing.
But that is easier said than done because we all like to be praised. Some people like it more than others, but everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some degree. I certainly do. I know that whenever I choose to take a risk and share my work with the world, I wonder about how the people around me will see me because of that choice. Will this help my fame? Will this hurt my fame? Should I even be worrying about my fame? Finally, I decided that it was more important to contribute something to the world than it was to protect myself from criticism.
The truth about criticism is that it’s almost always in your head. It is natural for most people to hold onto negative(消极的) criticism. According to a research paper titled “Bad Is Stronger Than Good” by Roy Baumeister and researchers at Florida State University, we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise. Baumeister found that even happy people are more likely to remember more negative events than positive(积极的)ones. In fact, Baumeister and his team say that when it comes to your brain, it takes about five positive events to make up for one negative one.
29. What prevented the author from getting started on writing?
A. Her own fears.
B. Her lack of experience.
C. People’s judgment on her works.
D. People’s different opinions on writing.
30. What kind of feeling do the questions in Paragraph 4 show?
A. Shock. B. Worry. C. Regret. D. Sadness.
31. What can be learned from Roy Baumeister’s research?
A. We should try to avoid negative events.
B. Criticism can bring about positive influence.
C. We remember negative criticism more strongly.
D. Criticism helps people know more about themselves.
D
Growing up in London, Ernest Shepard began to draw as soon as he was able to hold a pencil. As a child, Shepard had two big hobbies — watching soldiers(士兵) practice, and drawing. He decided on a career(事业) as an artist and was encouraged by his father. After attending a special art school, Shepard entered the Royal Academy Schools, Britain’s oldest art school, in 1897 as one of its youngest students, and won two scholarships(奖学金)while there.
While working as a cartoonist for the British humor magazine Punch, Shepard was introduced to A.A. Milne, who was looking for an artist to illustrate (加插图于) his collection of children’s stories. Wanting to impress the picky author, Shepard went to great lengths to land the job. He walked around Ashdown Forest to draw its scenery and then showed up unannounced at Milne’s house with his drawings, winning the acceptance of Milne.
Shepard and Milne are best known for creating the popular Winnie-the-Pooh books — starring a honey-loving teddy bear and his friends. A skilled cartoon artist, Shepard’s black-and-white illustrations brought the silly adventures of Hundred Acre Wood to life. He was known for his pen-and-ink drawings. He added light and movement with lines, dots (点), and curves.
For nearly a century, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928) have been favorites among millions. Throughout the rest of his career, Shepard illustrated books for many leading authors of the period, including several for Kenneth Grahame. He remained busy as an illustrator his whole life and even tried writing two children’s books of his own in his mideighties. Though the books didn’t gain much popularity, Shepard was very pleased. Shepard also colored his first line drawings for new editions of Winnie the Pooh (1973) and The House at Pooh Corner (1974). The Pooh Story Book (1976) had new line and color pictures by Shepard.
32. What do we know about Shepard when he was young?
A. He expected to be a soldier.
B. He showed a talent for drawing.
C. He was homeschooled by his father.
D. He was the youngest student at school.
33. What was Milne’s attitude towards Shepard’s drawings?
A. He paid no attention to them.
B. He was satisfied with them.
C. He was shocked by them.
D. He thought little of them.
34. What was a characteristic of Shepard’s drawings?
A. They had a simple style.
B. They were bear-themed.
C. They were colorful in his early works.
D. They changed greatly through his whole life.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Shepard?
A. His career took off in his eighties.
B. His drawings enjoyed great popularity.
C. He wrote two best-selling children’s books.
D. He recreated Winnie-the-Pooh with new pictures.

W: I think most of us should use electric vehicles, as the price of petrol is rising.
M: Yes, I think so. And they are also environmental-friendly.

M: Would you like a cold drink?
W: Yes, please. I’d like a glass of lemonade if you’ve got any.
M: I’ll go and look in the kitchen. Yes, there’s a bottle here, but it isn’t cold.
W: Why? ⑦Haven’t you got a refrigerator?
M: Yes, ⑦but it is full of bottles of water.
W: Never mind. Can I have a large piece of ice in it?
M: I’m afraid not. The refrigerator hasn’t been working properly.

W: Excuse me?
M: Yes, Madam. What can I do for you?
W: ⑧Can you tell me where the City Bank is?
M: It’s upstairs, across from the Bakery Shop.
W: Thanks. Do you know what time it opens?
M: ⑨It should be open now because it’s already 9:00.
W: That’s good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the City Center?
W: Oh, dear. ⑨Then I’ll have to wait for another thirty minutes.

W: Hi, Bill. How’s it going today?
M: Hi, Mom. ⑩It is really tiring walking around and seeing places.
W: Yes, I know.
M: I saw a ground floor apartment with four bedrooms today.
W: Four bedrooms? It sounds huge.
M: Yeah, it was. But the rent was quite cheap. And it was a nice place. A big living room with big windows. And the furniture was modern.
W: Sounds great. Did you take it?
M: Well, no. the place was shared. Three guys are looking for a fourth roommate. They seemed nice enough, but the place was a mess. It’s a shame because the place is not bad, quite close to school.
W: Don’t worry. Try to see more places tomorrow. Hopefully one of them will be alright. Or ask your classmates for more information.

M: Today we have with us Mel Flynn, an Australian teenager who started diving before ten. That’s still pretty young! Mel!
W: It is, I suppose, but there were quite a few other kids on the course.
M: And did your parents come with you?
W: My dad did the diving course too, so he could dive with me when I was old enough to dive with a qualified adult. At first I thought he’d be too protective, but in fact he allowed me quite a lot of freedom — without taking any silly risks, of course.
M: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
W: Well, I’ve got a little brother, and he is a skateboarder. He likes surfing too, but he isn’t too interested in going under the waves.
M: And what do you do to relax when you’re not at school or diving?
W: I don’t have much time for relaxing, really, but it doesn’t bother me because I enjoy what I do so much. I suppose if I don’t live here, I’d be doing something else, and I might be loving that too. But it’s as if it’s been clear from when I was tiny that this is the right thing for me.

M: Hello, everyone! Most of you want to know how to find a part-time job and I’ll
introduce something about that. I was lucky enough to get my first part-time job because my mom shopped several times a week in our local grocery store and she heard that they needed staff. I worked part-time during high school and full-time during summer holiday and during breaks from college. My brother worked in a supermarket in our neighborhood too. My younger sister worked in the drug store across the street which, of course, was also visited by my mom on a regular basis. More than a few years later, that’s still the best way to find a job, though I had never heard of the term “networking” back then.
You now can start your online job search by visiting the sites that focus on part-time chances. Searching by type of position will produce a list of openings. There’s also a list of national employers that hire part-time workers. Enter how many miles you’re willing to travel into the search engine and it will give you a list of jobs that meet your requirements.
Next, make sure you dress properly, get ready to complete an application, and are prepared for an interview.
