• 1、As an adult,one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, "What do you do?" This is because your career is a very important part of who you are.The career you have defines your life, and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.

    One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a "career aptitude (才能) test". There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest — and don't worry — there are no right or wrong answers.

    One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality. This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.

    The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level, but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like toaim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.

    In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now!

    The Summer That Changed Me

    I was born with a fear of water. At twelve, while classmate splashed joy fully in the pool, I sat shivering on the edge, my toes barely touching the surface. "It's like liquid darkness," I told my mother, imagining invisible hands dragging me down. My parents tried swimming lessons, but progress was painfully slow. The instructor's frustrated sighs still echoed in my memories. "Maybe water just isn't for everyone," he finally said.

    Everything changed when Coach Zhang entered my life. With her silver whistle and endless patience, she approached teaching differently. "Fear is natural," he said during our first session. "But courage is a choice." We started with blowing bubbled, progressed to floating while singing nursery rhymes, and eventually played underwater treasure hunts with rubber rings, She celebrated every small victory, even when I managed to hold my breath underwater for three seconds.

    The turning point came in July. Coach Zhang blindfolded me during practice. "Listen to the water's song," she instructed as darkness enveloped me. My throat tightened, but her steady voice anchored me: "Let it lift you, not fight you." Suddenly, the terrifying emptiness became a supportive embrace. That day, I swam ten meters unaided. Coach Zhang's applause sounded louder than the pool's filtration (过滤) system.

    "By summer's end, I earned my Level 2 swimming certificate. The real test came during our beach graduation. As others moved slowly in the shallow water, I walked into the foamy surf. Saltwater stung my nostrils (鼻孔) as I dove through an incoming wave, emerging breathless but triumphant. My father's camera captured mother wiping happy tears. The ocean, once my nightmare, now felt like an old friend.

    Now at sixteen, I volunteer at the community pool. That summer taught me more than swimming — it revealed how facing fears can reshape destinies. Coach Zhang's words stay with me: "What we conquer in water prepares us for life's storms."

  • 4、阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.

    The Dunhuang Mogao Caves, UNESCO World Heritage Site, stand as a precious cultural treasure in northwest China's Gobi Desert. Housing over 45, 000 square meters of ancient morals and 2, 000 painted sculptured from ten dynasties, the caves face threats natural damage and too many tourists. To solve these problems, the Dunhuang Academy started using modern digital technologies in the 1990 s. Over the recent three decades, experts working with global partners like France's CNRS and Japan's Tokyo University (create) detailed 3D models of 290 caves, covering 85 % of morals accessible for study.

    The digitization process uses robotic cameras on special rails. (design) to capture millimeter-level details, these cameras take thousands of photos later joined together by computers. Each cave needs 18 months of work, involves combining over 50,000 photos with AI. Thanks to this effort, Cave 61's tans Dynasty landscape, once broken, now appears in online shows. Meanwhile, digital security systems protect intellectual property rights, enabling safe (download) of 9,409 digital files since 2020.

    Color restoration posed unique challengers. Old paints, (exception) sensitive to light, are studied with special cameras to find their original colors. In 2023, the Sattva Jataka mural in Cave 254 (enhance) to its 8th-century glory using AI. "Each layer tells a story," says Dr. Li Juan, whose team spent 14 months rebuilding blue paints made from rocks.

    Global teamwork remains crucial. (protect) morals from weather changes, MIT engineers created thin protective layers in 2024. The "Digital Dunhuang" website, allowing people worldwide to view the caves online, has attracted 40 million users. Exact copies of caves also help research. As Director au Bomin notes, "Digitization isn't about (replace) — it's about lasting dialogue with history."

  • 5、When 16- year-old bake collapsed during the 800- meter race, his competitor Mark did the unexpected. Instead of seizing the chance to1 his lead, Mark stopped and helped bake to his feet. This simple act of kindness became the most2 moment in our school's athletic history, a story that would be told for years to come.

    Sports do more than build physical3 ; they shape character, foster teamwork, and teach life lessons. Through years of coaching, I've witnessed shy students gain4 through team interactions, transforming from quiet individuals into confident leaders. The basketball court becomes a classroom where players learn to5 disagreements gracefully, developing skills that extend far beyond the game itself. Even when losses are6 experienced, they teach valuable lessons about resilience. What makes sports truly7 is their ability to break down barriers. When our soccer team welcomed refugee students last year, broken English mattered less than8 passes. Shared sweat created bonds no textbook could9

    The14 of that fateful race was both boys crossing the finish line together. Their15 display of solidarity earned louder cheers than any record-breaking performance ever could. It was a moment that reminded us all why we play the game — not for medals or glory, but for the connections we build, the lives we touch, and the better versions of ourselves we become through sports.

  • 6、Mental resilience (韧性) has become a vital skill in today's fast-paced world. Research indicates that individuals with high resilience levels are 35 % more likely to maintain mental health during long-term stress. Let's explore scientific ally proven methods to strengthen this ability.

    The Main Idea Explained

    Resilience is not about reducing stress but managing it effectively. Emerging neurobiological evidence sheds light on this positively adaptive process. Neuroscientists (神经学家) compare it to muscle training: facing proper challenged regularly improved mental ability to adjust. For instance, A 2023 Harvard study showed that proper stress increased brain thickness in areas related to making decisions.

    Physical Activity as a Foundation

    Exercise is universally recognized as a key resilience-building tool. During aerobic workouts, the body producers BDNF (脑源性神经营养因子), a protein important for brain development. Meanwhile, this chemical process not only improved mood but also strengthens mental abilities. To maximize benefits, experts suggest combining 30 minutes of daily exercise with relaxation methods such as deep breathing.

    The Power of Social Bonds

    Human beings succeed through meaningful connections. Strong social networks act as psychological safety nets during c rises. A Stanford University study over many years found that people with strong social support recovered 50 % faster from emotional difficulties than those who were isolated. Surprisingly, online communication through video calls was 80 % as effective as face-to-face meetings in recent tests.

    Methods to Change Negative Thoughts

    How we view difficulties shapes our mental resilience. Psychologists suggest changing extreme negative ideas like "I can't handle this" into positive views such as "This is hard but possible." 2022 study found that daily gratitude practice lowers stress hormones by 25 % in three weeks.

    A. Therefore, building strong connections should be a key goal.

    B. Creative activities like painting unexpectedly better stress tolerance.

    C. Workplace culture significantly impacts employees' stress management.

    D. This natural process helps maintain stable emotions and enhanced clear thinking.

    E. Moreover, actively noticing small daily successes helps develop positive thinking.

    F. This psychological training strengthens the brain's ability to handle future challengers.

    G. It refers to the ability to recover from difficulties while keeping basic operations running.

  • 7、Accurate carbon tracking is critical for fighting climate change, yet traditional methods lack reliability due to systemic weaknesses. Companies self-report energy use and supply chains — process likely to involve human errors and intentional mis reporting. A 2023 bun study found 34 % of industrial carbon records had errors, like an Indonesian palm oil factory over reporting emissions by 21 % due to calculation mistakes.

    Block chain technology, a secure and distributed digital system, offers effective solutions to these problems through three key approaches:

    Shared Data Confirmation

    Internet-connected sensors installed in factories and transport vehicle automatically record real-time emission data. In Argentina, a biofuel plant reduced carbon leaks by 37 % after adopting sensors that check gas levels every 15 minutes. The collected data is instantly shared across a block chain network.

    Secure Records

    Confirmed data is stored in digital units arranged by time order, which cannot be changed. During a 2025 official check in Malaysia, a rubber factory's carbon emission reports showed almost the same results as expert tests (difference below 0. 2 %). This accuracy came from Blockchain's automatic time records and data that cannot be edited, making the information trust worthy for years.

    Automatic Rule Checks

    Pre-programmed digital rules enforce emission limits. When a Philippine electronics factory exceeded its carbon quota by 14 % in 2024, block chain systems immediately suspended its export permits. The factory was required to purchase confirmed carbon credits within 36 hours to continue operations.

    A multinational textile group reduced reporting errors by 72 % across 18 countries using block chain. Farmers in Bangladesh now share remotely checked water usage data, while factories in Vietnam track energy consumption with smart sensors. Inspectors can access standardized reports through block chain system, cutting inspection time from 25 days to 45 hours — a 64 % efficiency improvement.

    Initial setup costs average $200, 000 per factory, but global environmental programs offer financial support to small businesses. Training remains a major challenge: 48 % of factory managers lack block chain operational skills. Despite these difficulties, 90 % of major economies plan to require block chain-based carbon reporting by 2028. Experts predict block chain will transform carbon management from government duty into a strategic advantage for sustainable businesses worldwide. Personally, blank chain will become the global standard for emission tracking within the next decade.

    (1)、What is the primary issue with traditional carbon reporting?
    A、Human-related data in accuracies. B、Frequent equipment breakdowns. C、Lack of financial support. D、Over use of advanced technology.
    (2)、What can be inferred from the Malaysian rubber factory example?
    A、Block chain works best in large industries. B、Block chain re moves third-party checks. C、Block chain standardized cross-border reporting. D、Block chain ensured highly accurate data.
    (3)、What is probably the author's attitude to the blockchain's future challenge?
    A、Critical. B、Objective. C、Optimistic. D、Indifferent.
    (4)、Which title best summarized the passage?
    A、Blockchain: The High Costs of Modern Technology. B、Blockchain: Transforming Carbon Data Reliability. C、Blockchain: Old as New Energy Reporting Systems. D、Blockchain: Government Strategies for Climate issued.
  • 8、In today's interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for fostering international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps.

    The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian's Wall — a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe's but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robed (长袍) during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression.

    However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68 % of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. Americans may interpret British politeness as in decision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overlay focused only on business deals.

    Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like "I'll consider it" in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U. S. But may be viewed as aggressive in some British contexts.

    To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as "Global Communication Strategies," where students role-play negotiation scene's and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy, active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world.

    (1)、What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian's Wall?
    A、To establish trade routed with Celtic tribes. B、To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire. C、To showcase advanced architectural skills. D、To manage conflicts and control territory.
    (2)、What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from Paragraph 3?
    A、Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. B、They both value long-term relationships equally. C、Americans prefer indirect communication. D、British negotiators focus on short-term gains.
    (3)、What does the word "impersonal" mean in the context of American negotiators?
    A、Friendly and emotional. B、Aggressive and rude. C、Emotionally distant and formal. D、Humorous and casual.
    (4)、What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training?
    A、The history of Roman education systems. B、Specific methods used in university coursed. C、How technology replaces traditional teaching. D、Economic costs of cultural misunderstandings.
  • 9、On a chilly March morning, 16-year-old Mike stood at Willow Park's entrance, shocked by the scene before him. Plastic bags hung like worn flags from tree branches, rusty soda cans littered the ground, and a duck struggled to free its leg from a soda can ring. He immediately texted classmates: "Emergency clean up this Saturday! Our park needs us!" By noon, 18 students had joined "Operation Green Rescue".

    Under a rainy sky, volunteers worked tirelessly. They sorted trash into color-coded bins — blue for glass, green for aluminum, and gray for non-recyclables. "Turtle eggs under these cans!" shouted Emma, uncovering a nest beneath debris. By dusk, they had cleared 237 pounds of waste, filling three pickup trucks. A local baker rewarded them with organic snacks, declaring, "You're revived our park!"

    A week later, Mike's club screened Vanishing Forests, a documentary revealing rainforests disappearing at 30 football fields per minute. Maria wiped tears while apes held onto trees being cut down. "We must act," Mike urged. The club launched "Project Releaf" selling seed paper bookmarks and organizing "Bike-to-School Fridays" Funds planted 45 oak saplings. "These trees will strengthen the ecosystem by absorbing 200 pounds of carbon annually," their teacher explained.

    Mike's toughest battle was cafeteria reform. Displaying jars of 1, 800 plastic forks collected monthly, he faced cost objections. "ego-cutlery costs 25 % more," the manager argued. Determined, Mike presented long-term savings charts. After six debates and 500 + signature, ego-friendly utensils (餐具) were approved. Plastic use dropped 78 %, earning the school a "Green Innovator" award and recognition for promoting sustainable practiced.

    Today, families picnic under new trees with bamboo plates, while kids study recycling morals. Now an environmental science major, Mike reflects: "Sustainable change begins when ordinary people refuse to ignore one piece of trash." His story, carved on a park plague, inspires visitors daily.
