A
Many college students want to look for seasonal, short-term or part-time jobs to get extra cash,
to stay busy or to get working experience.
Lifeguard
The job is a great opportunity to build your fitness, keep people safe and be outdoors to enjoy
some fun on the beach in the sun. The average hourly wage for lifeguards is $ 9.31, but those with
certifications or previous experience may be able to earn a bit more.
Nanny (保姆)
Students can find plenty of positions as parents scramble (争抢) to arrange activities and find
care for their children. Students who enjoy spending time with kids, staying active and being
outdoors can spend their leisure time making money without even feeling like they’re working.
Nannies make $ 14.56 per hour.
Camp Consultant
Students who enjoy spending their time with children, being a leader and monitoring fun
outdoor activities are perfect for camp consultant positions. The average hourly wage for camp
consultants is $9.28, but those with many years’ experience or specific academic backgrounds may
be able to earn more.
Food Server
Although it may not seem like the most attractive way to spend a weekend, working as wait
staff allows students to build up their social skills, stay active, enjoy free meals at work and posily
educate themselves about different cuisines. However, food servers need to be on their feet for hours
at a time and must be able to multi-task like professionals, so take this into account before
submitting an application. The average salary is $ 9.00 hourly, but trips can raise that number.1. Who are the two jobs nanny and camp consultant most fit for?
A. Students who want to develop their social skills.
B. Students who love staying with children.
C. Students who love traveling.
D. Students who love camping.
2. What should you take into consideration before applying to be a food server?
A. The way of cooking. B. The food you can enjoy.
C. Long standing time at work. D. Skill in getting tips from customers.
3. What job can you do if you’re good at swimming?
A. A lifeguard. B. A nanny. C. A camp consultant. D. A food server.
B
Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The
shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the
senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and
down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner
Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.
Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare
for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people
and convince them of a possible future?
Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate
researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities
faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and
input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on
virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.
Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered
with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range
of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different
and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual
reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking
people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil,
one of the program's developers. “The goal,” he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks
visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between
them.”
4. Who is Monroe?
A. A coastal community citizen. B. A climate researcher.
C. An architect. D. AVR program developer.
5. What does the underlined word “vexing” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Bothersome. B. Dramatic. C. Original. D. Convincing.
6. Why is VR technology employed here?
A. It can cut down the risks of climate change.
B. It can show severe results of climate change.
C. It can introduce technology to the residents.
D. It can predict the climate change accurately.
7. What is the purpose of the program?
A. To trick more people to believe. B. To win the residents’ cooperation.
C. To advocate the application of VR. D. To inform the residents of the solutions.
C
Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City,
Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their
new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They
will also be able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.
Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a remarkable technological
achievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As
light enters the window,the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current,
which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.“It’s sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse (反过来),” says Veeral Hardev,
director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “Instead of electricity being shuttled to
different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of
different points in the window.”
Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of
sunlight as the typical solar cells used in roof panels (板).These windows, about half as transparent
as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to
improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows
can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly
larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels.
“You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge,
he adds, is increasing the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”
8. What makes the new glass windows special?
A. They can offer an amazing view. B. They are controlled by computers.
C. They can power the conference room. D. They can help stare toward the future.
9. What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3?
A. The source of light.
B. The significance of different points.
C. The similarity of computer and glass.
D. The working principle of energy-producing glass.
10. What can affect power production according to the passage?
A. The transparency of the glass. B. The quality of the rooftop.
C. The height of the solar panels. D. The thickness of the glass.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Windows: A New Challenge of Technology
B. Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the Light
C. Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near Future
D. Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar PanelsD
If you’ve spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you
have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes
will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior,
forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or
from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.
Mobula rays（蝸鲼）aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up to
a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a ton
in weight—skyward in leap（跳跃）of up to ten feet. They do it in schools（鱼群）of hundreds.
They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it
might be a way of removing parasites（寄生虫）. But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.
In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several
schools of fifty or more mullets（鲻鱼）moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were
most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but
one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the
water and two to three feet in length.
Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The
idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is
challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is
hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.
Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt
recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating
objects—sticks, plants, sunning turtle—for no clear reason other than entertainment.
12. What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?
A. They have great escaping skills. B. They are easily frightened.
C. They are very clever. D. They love jumping.
13. What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?
A. Both do it in groups. B. Both land on their bellies.
C. Both jump many feet out of water. D. Both make leaps one after the other.14. How does the author feel about the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. It is valuable. B. It is interesting. C. It is imaginative. D. It is questionable.
15. Which may be the reason for fish leaps according to the author?
A. To remove parasites. B. To amuse themselves.
C. To take in more oxygen. D. To express positive emotions.

At Dana’s yard sale, Tim chose a baseball from the toys spread on the card table and asked
about the price. Dana told him everything was a quarter except Nezumi,a cotton toy rat. It was gray
with some cotton sticking out from the hole where an ear had been torn off. “Nezumi is extra special,
so he has ten dollars. He needs a safe new home,” Dana sighed.
Tim laughed saying he didn’t have ten dollars. Dana laughed, too and gave Nezumi to Tim as a
free gift because he was her friend. When Tim whispered it was sort of old, Dana said old toys were
the best. She then invited Tim to her birthday party the next evening, adding that her parents were
giving her a real rat for her birthday. Tim was amazed and asked if it was a live rat. “Of course,”
Dana said.
At home, Tim’s mother showed him the gift she had bought for Dana. It was a knitting spool (编织线轴) shaped like a mushroom. Mom said Dana could knit a scarf for her doll. Tim sighed that
Dana wasn’t a knitting kind of person but a rat kind of person. Mom laughed after knowing what had
happened. Together they drove to the pet store, where Tim searched and searched and selected a
clear plastic ball, one in which the rat could run around on the floor safe from cats and dogs. Tim
thought of Nezumi’s ear and decided Dana’s new rat would need this ball.
The next day, Dana brought cupcakes to class. When she handed a cupcake to Tim,she asked if
Tim brought Nezumi to school as Nezumi liked to ride in backpacks. Tim was at a loss because
Nezumi was at home on his bed. Then Dana asked what gift he was giving her. Tim replied it was a
surprise. In silence they sat for a while before he heard Dana say her parents were giving her a new
bike for her birthday instead of a live rat because they thought rats would bite things.

Paragraph 1:
At home that afternoon, Tim stared at the plastic rat ball. Wondering about the use of the clear
plastic ball if Dana had no rat, he started walking up and down the room with a frown on his face.
Mom was surprised and asked him what was happening. Tim told her Dana wasn’t getting a live rat
from her parents but a bike. As they were racking their brains to come up with an appropriate gift, Tim turned around and saw Nezumi on his bed.
Paragraph 2:
All of a sudden, he had an idea. All of a sudden, he had an idea. He lifted Nezumi and squeezed
Nezumi into the plastic ball with great caution so that Nezumi would be safe from cats and dogs.
Seeing this, Mom asked Tim whether he was giving Dana an old cotton rat with one ear as a gift,
Tim nodded with a smile saying she would definitely like it. Looking at Mom’s confused expression,
Tim added that Dana was a Nezumi kind of person who thought old toys were the best.
