【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 out of college. “Preparing broadly makes sense to me,” she explains, “and that the best preparation for a future that is still unfolding, is a broad preparation. It shouldn’t prevent you from following areas that light you up, but a broad preparation will prepare you for multiple careers.” That’s important because jobs change more frequently due to changes in technology and business petition. Some jobs that are available today may be on their way out in 10 years. “The best thing about preparing broadly is that you get to live in a big world,” says Nancy. “You avoid getting stuck in a job or business area, and if your job bees out of date, you can move on.” Many students make the mistake of working on the next step in front of them, avoiding time to explore their interests or reflect on what they39。re learning about themselves. For example, students will look at a college and try to figure out what the college is looking for in a student. Then they try to remake themselves into that student, even though it might go against who they really are. Students let the “nextstep mentality” hold back their learning as well. Many students don’t take courses outside their fort zone for fear it will ruin their GPA(平均成績(jī) ) and their chances of getting into a certain college. “You may be unwilling to go outside your areas of strength for fear you’ll get a low grade,” says Nancy. “But if you think one grade in one class will ruin your chances of admission, you’re doing harm to yourself. Colleges look at a number of factors in addition to grades. Students often think requirements of colleges are much stricter and narrower than they really are.” Since colleges work to admit a diverse group of students, the best thing to do is be yourself and explore your options. There are many people in their late 20s who are unhappy in their careers and who regret that they didn’t pursue a wider range of interests while in college. 32. Nancy’s advice is based on ______. A. Rising unemployment B. Strict college requirements C. A fastchanging job market D. A lower academic performance 33. What does the underlined phrase “fort zone” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Their career plans. B. Their favorite courses. C. The jobs they dream of. D. The subjects they are good at. 34. According to the text, which of the following is a “nextstep mentality”? A.

Will parents take you seriously, believe what you say, listen to and respect your opinions? 36 But some of what happens depends on you, too. Since munication is a twoway street, the way you talk can influence how well a parent listens and understands you. So here are some guidelines to consider when talking to parents: ? Be clear and direct. Be as clear as you can about what you think, feel, and want. 37 They can listen better or be more helpful if they understand what you mean and what’s really going on. ? Be honest. If you’re always honest, a parent will be likely to believe what you say. If you sometimes hide the truth or add too much drama, parents will have a harder time believing what you tell them. If you lie, they’ll find it hard to trust you. ? Try to understand their point of view. If you have a disagreement, can you see your parents’ side? 38 Telling parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to see yours, too. ? Try not to argue or plain. Using a tone that’s friendly and respectful makes it more likely parents will listen and take what you say seriously. 39 If you think your emotions might get the better of you, do something to blow off steam before talking: Go for a run. Cry. 40 Do whatever it takes to sound calm when you need to. A. Hit your pillow. B. If you can, say so. C. A lot depends on your parent. D. Think twice before you make a decision. E. Your parents won’t always see things your way. F. Give details that can help parents understand your situation. G. Of course, this is hard for any of us when we’re feeling heated about something. 第三部分：英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共 20 小題；每小題 分，滿分 30 分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。 I used to believe politeness was a thing of the past, but I had to change my thinking after my experience in a happening coffee place with two of my grownup daughters.
