When it came time fr me t lk at ptins fr pstgraduate study, I decided t g abrad, initially lking at ptins in bth Australia and the United States.
I decided n Australia finally after I spke with friends, wh had experience f studying at the University f Melburne and living in the city. The peple I knew described t me as a place where there were lts f peple frm all walks f life and cultural backgrunds, and where everyne was pen-minded and there were discussins happening everywhere. I’m happy t say that ended up being my experience as well.
I jined Lin, ne f Australasia’s largest fd and drink cmpanies, as part f their graduate prgram, which was a fantastic pprtunity, because it gave me the pprtunity t wrk in a variety f rles, and gain experience acrss a variety f functins. But the thing with Lin was that they were already a very established business; they already had their prcesses and structures in place.
When the pprtunity came fr me t jin Culture Amp, I realized it was an pprtunity t see a business grw and be part f that evlutin. It was just what I wanted. That cmes with its wn challenges, as new prblems appear yu might be slving them frm the very beginning, rather than having a framewrk t fall back n, but it als means there’s rm t learn and experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie. Here in Australia, there’s a really high tlerance fr change in yur careers. I think it’s really easy fr graduates t feel like they have t “jump” int a rle, and then that’s it, frever. But the truth is, yur career is a marathn. Yu can expect t change curses alng the way, and allw yur interests t pen new drs.
29．Why did the authr chse t study in Australia?
A．Her friends lived there.
B．She decided t wrk there.
C．She liked the culture there.
D．She wanted t meet new peple.
30．Which can best describe the authr’s wrk in Lin?
A．Facing varius pprtunities.
B．Lacking challenges.
C．Demanding new structures.
D．Offering limited rles.
31．What did the authr want t get frm Culture Amp?
A．Learning hw t d experiments.
B．Having a framewrk t turn t.
C．Dealing with prblems in wise ways.
D．Experiencing a cmpany’s develpment.
32．What is the authr’s attitude twards changing jbs?
A．Uncertain.B．Objective.C．Supprtive.D．Cntradictry.

An wl(猫头鹰) named Flac escaped New Yrk’s Central Park Z last week after his cage was brken. This set ff a bird- hunt f plice fficers and park rangers( 护林员). Z fficials wrried that Flac, wh had been kept in his z cage fr 13 years, may have lst the survival abilities he needed in the wild. They placed sme f his favrite treats in the pen air t attempt t trap him.
Flac was nt fled. Instead, he was sighted flying ver 5th Avenue, and Central Park’s skating rink. A number f New Yrkers stamped int Central Park t try t catch a glimpse f Flac, taking phts with excitement.
But this week, z fficials annunced they accepted that Flac remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bnes and fur frm the park’s abundant cmmunity f rats. “He has been very successful at hunting and cnsuming the abundant rats in the park.” z fficials tld the New Yrk Pst. “And that’s amazing. He’s hunting n his wn. He’s flying better. Flac really seems t be enjying himself ut there.”
There is a cautin attached t this stry f an wl wh is making it n his wn in the city that never sleeps. Owls are ncturnal. They g arund searching fr fd at night. They sleep during the day, r try t, like lts f peple wh wrk the vernight shift. Yet sme New Yrkers wh dn’t knw prper bird-watching behavir reprtedly see Flac sleep in a tree during the day, and begin t shut at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flac can’t try t say “shh, shh” with the traditinal New Yrk reply. After all, a bird can’t give smene the bird.
33. Why were z fficials cncerned abut Flac’s ability t survive?
A. Because his favurite fd was t little.
B. Because he might be attacked by plice.
C. Because his cage was severely damaged.
D. Because he was kept in his cage fr lng.
34. What can we infer abut Flac frm the third paragraph?
A. He has adapted t the wild.B. He has fund his previus hme.
C. He still faces great challenges.D. He dislikes the rats in the park.
35. What des the underlined wrd “ncturnal” in paragraph 4 mean?

We are all aware f the damaging pllutin that’s created by driving petrl and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many f the wrld’s cities are blcked with traffic, creating fumes cntaining gases such as nitrgen xides. The slutin fr a cleaner, greener future culd be electric vehicles. But hw ptimistic shuld we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK gvernment annunced it will ban the sale f new petrl and diesel cars frm 2030. But is that easier said than dne?
The rad t glbal traffic being ttally electric is still a lng way ff. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery wn’t take yu as far as a full tank f petrl. There are als limited numbers f charging pints t plug an EV int. Of curse, technlgy is always imprving. Sme f the biggest tech cmpanies, like Ggle and Tesla, are spending huge amunts f mney develping electric cars. And mst f the big car manufacturers are nw making them t. Clin Herrn, a cnsultant n lw-carbn vehicle technlgy, tld the BBC: “The big leap frward will cme with slid state batteries, which will appear first in mbile phnes and laptps befre they prgress t cars.” These will charge mre quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cst is anther issue that may discurage peple switching t electric pwer. But sme cuntries ffer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing imprt taxes, and nt charging fr rad tax and parking. Sme als prvide exclusive lanes fr electric cars t be driven n, vertaking traditinal cars which might be stuck in jams.
These kinds f measures have made Nrway the cuntry with the mst electric cars per capita (人均) at mre than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Clin Herrn warns that “electric mtring” desn’t mean a zer-carbn future. “It’s emissin-free mtring, but the car has t be built, the battery has t be built, and the electricity des cme frm smewhere.” Maybe it’s time t think abut making fewer jurneys r using public transprt.
37．What can we infer frm the questin at the end f paragraph 1?
A．We shuld nt be t ptimistic abut the future.
B．Electric vehicles may nt slve the traffic prblems.
C．It’s nt a gd idea t replace petrl vehicles with electric nes.
D．It is nt easy t btain a greener future by means f electric vehicles.
38．What des the underlined wrd “incentive” mean in paragraph 2?
A．paymentB．incme
C．encuragementD．methd
39．Which statement is true accrding t the passage?
A．Electric mtring will create a zer-carbn future.
B．Electric cars might nt get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
C．There are fur bstacles n the rad t glbal traffic being ttally electric.
D．Putting slid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap frward”.
40．What is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Ttal Electric Traffic: a Lng Way t G
B．Electric Vehicles: a Rad t a Greener Future
C．Electric Pwer r Petrl: a Tugh Decisin t Make
D．Petrl and Diesel Vehicles: a Main surce f Gases

A Precius Dress
I was raised in a family where my parents were united in their way f bringing up children, but it mstly fell t my mther t actually carry it ut, and she managed the family budget effrtlessly. Lking back, I hnestly think I wuld be a different persn if my mum hadn’t turned a dress int a life lessn I carry with me tday.
If we cmplained abut nt having what anther kid did, we’d hear smething like “I dn’t care what sands gt fr his birthday, yu are nt getting a car fr yur birthday r a lavish sweet16 party.” We had t earn ur allwance（零用钱）by ding chres arund the huse. My brthers can n dubt remember hurs spent cleaning the huse. I can still remember hw lng it tk t plish the legs f ur dining table. Smetimes, I culdn’t even cntain my envy f Chle, a neighburhd girl, always beautifully dressed, whse parents satisfied her with almst every need.
One day, my mther drve me dwntwn t buy sme husehld necessities—and there it was in the shpping windw. Pink, lvely, delicately trimmed (镶嵌着) with lace, the dress winked(眨眼) at me and I knew I had t have it. “It’s beautiful,” my mther said when I pinted it ut t her. “What a beautiful dress!”
I tried t hide my desire at first. But then I guess I culdn’t stand it any lnger. “Mum, please get it? I’ll d anything, but I need that dress. I lve it. Please?”
I was desperate.
“Yu knw,” she said, gently rubbing my back, “if yu save up, yu culd buy this yurself.”
“By the time I make enugh, it’ll be sld!”
“There might be a way.”she said.
And s ur paying plan unflded. Mum bught the dress and put it safely in sme hiding place where I culdn’t find. Each week I eagerly cunted my grwing savings increased by extra wrk. Weeks later, I cunted and jumped fr jy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amunt we’d agreed n. Having put n my dress, I flew t schl like a bird. Hwever, the unthinkable happened.
