17、BA few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was filled with anger. “Do you know what you and I are?” she demanded. Before I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her dri

18、vers license at a government office. Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “Do you have a job, or are you just a .?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “Im a mother.” “We dont list mother

19、 as an occupation . housewife covers it,” said the recorder.I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman. “And what is your occupation?” she asked. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply ju

20、mped out. “Im . a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, her ball-point pen frozen in mid air, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with

21、 new interest, “just what you do in your field?”Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. Im working for my masters (the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But

22、 the job is more challenging than most jobs and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistantsages 1

23、3, 7, and 3. And upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program. I felt successful!Motherhood.what a glorious career, especially when there is a title on the door.24. The purpose of Emilys story is to_.A. prove that being a housewife is shameful B. sho

On hearing the title of the authors occupation, the clerk felt _.A. bored and disappointed B. surprised and curiousC. satisfied and respectful D. interested and th

25、rilled26. What do you know about the authors family?A. Her daughters are all involved in a child-development program.B. Her family is supported by her work as a Research Associate.C. She has four daughters and the youngest is six months old.D. There are at most five members in her family.27. The man

26、ner of speaking in which the author writes the text is _.A. indifferent B. cautious C. objective D. humorousCBirds in eastern North America are picking up the pace along their yearly migratory(迁移的) paths. The reason, according to researchers, is rising temperatures due to climate change.Using migrat

27、ion information collected in eBird, a citizen science program database containing 10 years worth of observations from amateur birdwatchers, assistant professor of biology Allen Hurlbert, Ph.D., and his team analyzed when 18 different species of birds arrived at various points across their migration

28、journeys. Pushing migration earlier in the year could negatively affect birds over the long term, Hurlbert said. “Timing of bird migration is something critical for the overall health of bird species,” he said. “They have to time it right so they can balance arriving on breeding(繁殖) grounds after th

29、eres no longer a risk of severe winter conditions. If they get it wrong, they may die or may not produce as many young.”Hurlbert said, the speed at which a species migrates is the biggest influence on how strongly it responds to increasing temperatures. Slow migrators were the most adaptable to chan

30、ges. Additionally, the length of the migration path affects how quickly birds move from one location to another.“It makes sense that if you take your time to move north, youre sort of checking out the surroundings around you,” he said. “If the conditions seem too cold, you can decide theres no point

31、 in moving on that day. Species that tended to advance quickly, as well as those migrating from greater distances, such as Central or South America, were less able to adapt to temperature changes.”However, being a slow traveler does not free a species from all climate change-induced migration challe

32、nges. Because they stay in one spot longer, such birds have heavier habitat and food requirements, making them more dependent upon the resources that are available along their paths. That reliance could become a greater problem if climate projections for the next 50 years to 75 years hold true, Hurl

33、bert said. Climatologists predict the Northeast will continue to warm at a faster pace than the Southeast, potentially forcing slow migrators to move even slower and put greater difficulty on their migratory routes.28. The rising temperatures led to _.A. the speed-up of birds migrationB. the weaknes

34、s of the birds physical healthC. the birds less demand for foodD. the variation of breeding grounds29. According to Hurbert, wrong timing of bird migration can lead to _.A. a risk of wrong migration paths B. change in life habitC. a lack of natural resources D. decrease in bird population30. What is

35、 the most important factor in adapting to climate change for birds?A. The cycle of migration. B. Migration speed.C. Their local habitat. D. The temperature along the migratory path.31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Climatologists prediction. B. Climate changes bad effects. C. Cha

36、llenges of slow migrators migration.D. Changes of birds migratory routes.DIn the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities(名人) and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight.A key feature of social media,

37、 however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2018?Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apples

38、App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said.Why are these short videos which are rarely longer than a few minutes so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fil

39、l in the little gaps in our busy schedules,” he told CNBC.These videos apart from being very convenient are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue.The sense of community that users of short video app get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy,

40、 a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” them. “Its really cool because I think as social creators thats what we all are,” she added.Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now

41、seems as natural as sunrise. Its a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live.However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of l

42、ive streams. Among them is viewers ability to interact while remaining anonymous.However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be

43、false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesnt mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.32. The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “be

44、ing _”.A. changeable B. steady C. promising D. violent33. According to Lisa Koshy, short videos are very popular because _.A. they are very convenientB. they help people kill timeC. they provide a sense of communityD. they allow people to express themselves34.
