每年夏天，許多學(xué)生去其他國(guó)家尋找工作和旅行。大多數(shù)機(jī)會(huì)是季節(jié)性工作，主要與旅游和服務(wù)有關(guān)。

【1】句意：工資報(bào)酬通常低，但人們還是在國(guó)外工作，這是因?yàn)槁眯械臉啡ぁ?/span>

pains疼痛；comfort舒服；difficulty困難；excitement興奮。根據(jù)句意可知，這里說的意思是人們?cè)敢馊?guó)外工作的原因是為了旅行的樂趣（excitement）。故選D。

【2】句意：當(dāng)然，酒店和餐館總是有工作的。

always總是；hardly幾乎不；never從不；seldom很少。上文提到季節(jié)性工作與tourism有關(guān)，最后一段也提到旅館，可推測(cè)這里應(yīng)該用肯定副詞。故選A。

【3】句意：除非你能說好這個(gè)國(guó)家的語言，否則很少有機(jī)會(huì)。

If如果；Unless除非；Because因?yàn)椋?/span>Although雖然。根據(jù)語境可知，這里說的是：除非（unless）你能說好這個(gè)國(guó)家的語言，否則很少有機(jī)會(huì)。故選B。

No one沒人；None沒有人；Not everyone并不是每個(gè)人；Everybody每個(gè)人。上文說學(xué)生去尋找這種工作，而下文Sarah的經(jīng)歷又是另一番滋味，因此“并非人人（not everyone）都喜歡這種工作”。故選C。

【題目】 Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual (雙語的) people scored higher on intelligence (智力) tests than monolinguals—people who speak only one language. The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer, but it probably does make you better at certain skills.

Imagine driving down the highway. There’re many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?

The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function (功能)called the executive control system. It’s quite possibly the most important system we have because it’s where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore (忽略), what process are made.

The best method to measure (測(cè)量) the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word “blue” written in red, but you have to say the color red. But “blue” is so eye-catching, and you really want to say “blue”. You need to ignore it so that you can say the color red. That’s the Stroop Test.

Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer’s disease.

【題目】 Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as men’s and they live a long life--20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use the sound to talk to each other and to help them to find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw - the lower part of the mouth.

It's strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat shot (拍照) a long time in the area. Jack guided the boat and helped it out.

Today many people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.

【1】It's true that dolphins use ________.

A.noses to smell the wayB.ears to hear the sounds

C.eyes to see the wayD.sounds to find the way

【2】Jack was ________.

A.the writerB.a dolphinC.a seamanD.the passenger

【3】The dolphin guided the ships for about ________.

A.32 yearsB.9 yearsC.41 yearsD.23 years

A.dolphins are not fishB.dolphins don't live in groups

C.dolphins are friendly to peopleD.dolphins can live a long life

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容按要求完成任務(wù)。

Firusa Khafizova is a pop star in the Democratic Republic of Tajikistan. Recently she got fined 5,000 somoni ($530) for celebrating her birthday (A) in the company of friends outside her home. She broke one of Tajikistan’s most special laws— “Regulation of Traditions and Customs in the Republic of Tajikistan”. According to the law, people mustn’t celebrate their birthdays in public places. They can only celebrate them at home. (B) It was reported that 648 people were fined for breaking this unusual law in 2018 alone and in total 3 million somoni ($325,000) was fined in these cases.

The law was introduced in 2007. It sets strict limits on the number of guests and dishes allowed at weddings, funerals (葬禮) and birthdays. Tajikistan is probably the only country in the world where celebrating a birthday outside the family home isn’t allowed.

It seems the special ban (禁令) is not welcome among the people who like to have a birthday party outside their homes. Many of them have used social media to express their displeasure with the ban, thinking it interferes (干涉) in their private lives. However, the government doesn’t think so. In (C) its eyes, banning public celebrations encourages people to spend their money on the needs of their families rather than on unnecessarily expensive birthday parties. Also (D) it’s a useful way to stop families from going into debt (債務(wù)) to host huge events.
