1. Most students graduating from high school and college this year will probably have jobs in the next decade that don 't even exist today because the technology to support those positions hasn 't even been invented yet .The concepts of going to work ,having one career ,moving for a new job ,and wasting time or avoiding doing any work may soon be a distant memory as the world of work as we know it is replaced by a brave new world where few travel to their jobs,work a 9-to -5 day ,or sit in endless staff meetings

2. In the past it was difficult to measure employee performance, and hours of productivity were wasted. Now many job tasks are measurable with automated time and task tools and individual performance can be directly linked to a company's bottom-line results.

3. Project teams can be organized all over the world, and cheap communication and document sharing tools such as Skype and Google docs can be used to share information. In addition, for many jobs, where you live may have little relevance in the future; you could be competing against a global rather than a local talent pool.

4. More and more companies are organizing project teams and disbanding the teams once the work is completed.

While all this sounds pretty scary at first glance, work in the future may be more rewarding than ever. People will have more freedom and control over their work environment and schedule and earnings will be based more on merit （绩效）than location. While it's true that not every job will fit into this futuristic （想象的）pattern, many will. 5.

A:No one knows what the future work is like .

B:Here's what the future of work looks like.

C:Do you know what you want to do in the future?

D:Will your job be part of the future of work?

E:The world of work is changing quickly .

F:For many professionals, gone are the days of traveling to a central location.

G:The days of working for one company and retiring with the gold watch are gone.

According to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end re­sult is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain.

The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in read­ing, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies.

Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.

There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instru­ments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Left-handed people are better at speaking

B. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains

C. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people

D. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies

2.Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”?

A. valuable B. not typical

C. not balanced D. negative

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society

B. This is an equal society for the left-handed people

C. Most great geniuses are left-handed

D. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled

4. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?

B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?

C. Why are some people left-handed?

D. Are left-handed people equally treated in society?

I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1,1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.

I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally ,the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.

When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.

In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.

That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.

I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so…”

My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.

1.How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?

A. Angry and sad.

B. Excited and moved.

C. Curious and scared.

D. Happy and interested.

2.What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. My brother is the real baby in the family.

B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.

C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.

D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.

3.What does the brother often help the author do?

A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.

B. Help him with his studies.

C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.

D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A. My Strange Family Gatherings

B. The Real Baby in the Family

C. Stuck with Me—My Not-So-Little Little Brother

D. The Feeling of Having a Brother

Thank you for listening!

When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can bring some stress. But they would do well to remember that a new alternative is available—micro-home.

Called “tiny houses”, these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.

Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have unique practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72- to122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, fills in an alley. The Ecocapsule home uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere. A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or enclosed courtyard.

Visually appealing as micro-homes are, there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting cozy on a mini-couch. Moving into a tiny house requires the removing of most non-essentials, regardless of the emotional connection to them. Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the limited space may even cause a solitary (独居的) individual to experience some cabin fever (幽闭症). And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquiremore possessions.

Though the limitations will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in a small price tag and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget. And though you won’t have much stuff around the house, this can provide the comfort of simple living and repairs. Micro-homes are also practically mobile and have eco-friendliness that can’t be matched by other homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.

1.What can be learnt about micro-homes from the second paragraph?

A. People have to eat out as there is no cooking area.

B. These homes are poorly designed due to the small size.

C. All of the houses are under 50 square meters in size.

D. Such houses aren’t necessarily inconvenient though tiny.

2.The third paragraph is mainly developed ________.

A. by giving examples

B. by making comparisons

C. by following the time order

D. by describing the process

3.Micro-homes are especially fit for ________.

A. a young couple in hope of settling down permanently

B. an individual constantly suffering from cabin fever

C. a college graduate on a tight budget for the time being

D. a family of five in favor of environmental protection

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Is Your House Tiny Enough?

B. Why Not Enlarge Your House?

C. East Or West, Home Is the Best!

D. Micro-homes—More Than Tiny!

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago's most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West," wait for us.

1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It made them feel comfortable.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

2. What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They explored for foreign customs.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They enjoyed famous local foods.

3.The author and her companions stayed online ________.

A. communicating with strangers abroad

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. sharing their travel plan with strangers

D. learning about different cultures in the world

4.The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.

A. boredB. relaxedC. FascinatedD. Disappointed

I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest or practicing my English as well. We’ve been writing to each for nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face by face with you. I imagine you’ll be on vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps I could go out to do some sightseeing together.

Best
