24、rst day of high school. We liked each other immediately. You gave me a lot of advice over the next four years, like how I should get my ass to Berkeley where I belonged. Im still there, by the way. I wish you were still around, too. I remember your laugh, which would start with a rough guffaw(狂笑) an

25、d end with a hacking smokers cough that would make even the most rebellious (叛逆的) teenager swear to lay off the cigarettes. I remember the way you didnt lower your standards, yet still refused to give up on us. You were tough on us, and we were tough on you. Love is tough sometimes. The last time I

26、wrote you a letter, it was 2005-four years after I graduated. I had just become a teacher, like you, and it had given me a new appreciation for the work you did with countless high school students over the years. Its hard to say what Ill miss the most about you. There are simply too many memories to

27、 sort through those four years, and it hurts to think youll never read this letter. I want to believe that you knew how much you meant to your family , your students, your community, and your colleagues, but that would be a lot of realization to handle, even for you. You changed the lives of everyon

28、e around you. Even now, you are reminding me to cherish life and its brevity and beauty, and to tell the people I love how much they mean to me before it is too late. Dear teacher, dear mentor, and dear friend-I miss you and all that is about you. God bless you in Heaven. To infinity and beyond, Ter

BThough there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely，ZoqueAyapaneco，a nat

32、ive Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct，because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!And，its not because they live in different countries，states or even villages. In fact，Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez，both in their 70s，l

33、ive within 500 yards of each other，in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They，however，refuse to communicate because they simply dont have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.Segovia was at least able to talk i

34、n ZoqueAyapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago，and still manages to practice it with his family，especially his son Manuel，who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other ha

35、nd，has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village，but the younger generation shunned it for fear of being laughed at，and it therefore began to die a slow death，as the elders passed away.Unless the two men get their acts t

36、ogether，the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuels not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.We sure

37、hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.56The reason why Segovia and Velazquez dont talk to each other is that _.Athey both are too shy Bthey hav

38、e no similarity in their characterC they are too familiar to talk Dthey live in different villages57What do we know about Zoque Ayapaneco?AIt was widely used twelve years ago. BIt is a Southern American language.CIt will be popular in Mexico in the near future.DIt will be dying out if no effective m

39、easures are taken.58The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”AfavoredBidentifiedCwere reluctant to learnDdenied59From the passage，we can conclude that_.Aaltogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.BSegovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soonCthe g

40、overnment cares a lot about the protection of Zoque AyapanecoDwe can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”60Whats the main idea of the passage?AWorlds endangered languages are being filmed.BVillagers are trying to protect their old language.CAn endangered language is spoken b

41、y only two people.DThere are a lot of languages in Mexico. C What should we do when we are in a bad situation? Some may choose to give up. But is that what we should do? The following news report may get you inspired. With a population of 156 million, Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in

42、 the world. What makes the situation worse is that most of the country is situated on the low-lying Ganges delta(三角洲). As a result, it often suffers flooding, especially during the rainy season from July to October. In this period, the rivers rise as much as 12 feet. In such situations, people can o

43、nly get to certain places by boat. The problems are particularly serious in the Chalanbeel region, a poor area where people survive by farming on the rich delta soil when it is not underwater. But many parents there dont want to send their children to school and there are not enough teachers. As a r

44、esult, many kids living there do not attend school on a regular basis. The problem becomes worse during the rainy season when land schools cannot be reached. Many students never return to school after the forced breaks. How to help students attend school regularly? 22-year-old Bangladeshi architect

45、Mohammed Rezwan decided to take action. In 2002, the young man used $500 he had received in scholarships to start Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha. The non-profit organizations mission was to set up floating schools. It took Rezwan four years to raise enough funds to open his first boat school. But as t

46、he world began to know about the organizations worthy cause, money started to pour in. Until now, Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha has built 22 floating schools, some with playgrounds on the upper deck. Now a lot more children in the Chalanbeel region go to school regularly.

51、hnology, its much easier,” says Dennis Masel, chief operating officer of a US staffing agency. Mr. Masel says PDF files, mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works. “ I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a clients office,” he says. “ Now I can send an application to a cli

52、ent within seconds via the Internet.”Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process. Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click. And it is not only computers but also mobile phones. However, some employers do not follow up on

53、the applications they receive. It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less inclined to click on new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.First, he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work. “By making a p

54、ersonal connection, you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”Second, he says, you must react quickly when you see a job you want. “ For every position that you are interested in, you have to imagine that thousands of job-seekers are all coming after the same p

55、osition. Youve got to be quick. Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”Third, use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and its really easy for me to basicall

56、y discover what positions I might be interested in,” he says. “ Put keywords in, such as the location you want to search and your experience, and get exactly what you want.” 66.

60、bout job hunting() 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） “Where are you going to college?” Im going to my local community college.” My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many peoples faces. Its clear that people have a lot of misconceptions(误解) about community colleges. Many p

61、eople think community colleges are only for people who couldnt get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got As. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldnt justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school unti

62、l I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college. Some people will ask, “ Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My profes

63、sors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging. Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that

64、the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings. I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who sugges

65、ted I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist. I look forward to graduating this M

66、ay to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.71.
