Ⅰ.阅读理解
Mounting a telescope on the balcony at home，Wang Zhipu，a 16-year-old boy from
Fujian Province，observes the skies，takes photos and begins his voyage into space
after class.Recently，his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young
Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s
annual astrophotography contest.His winning entry，entitled Family Photo of the
Solar System，shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally，with the sun
on the left and moon on the right，both pictured larger in size than normal.
“All families are unconventional，so I adored this fresh，gently playful concept
around the solar system，” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking
about Wang’s picture.“A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star
of astronomical photography.”
It hasn’t been easy taking pictures of outer space.For about half a year，Wang had to
calculate the best time to shoot planets when they’re opposite the sun in Earth’s sky to
get the brightest images.What’s more，he still needed to wait for clear weather to see
better.For example，to capture a clear picture of Mercury，the planet closest to the
sun，which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with
the naked eye，Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed.At
sunset，he shot 10，000 frames of video and selected several thousand better frames
to overlay，further refine them and form a more satisfactory picture.
Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldn’t go
downstairs to fetch a coat，even in the middle of winter.Other times，he stood for
hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot.To get an ideal shot，he often gets
up at dawn，sleeps early to wake up at midnight，and even takes time off from
evening classes when necessary.
1.What kind of feeling does Sue Prichard show for Wang’s prize-winning picture?A.Curiosity. B.Indifference.
C.Appreciation. D.Anxiety.
2.What did Wang need to do in preparation for his photographing?
A.Figure out when the planets shine best.
B.Find out where clear weather can be seen.
C.Work out how far the planets are from the sun.
D.Make out when the planets face the earth most directly.
3.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Wang’s passion for outer space.
B.Wang’s habits of observing stars.
C.Wang’s addiction to shooting skills.
D.Wang’s choices of shooting occasions.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Stars Gathering，Teenager Is the Brightest
B.Medals Shining，Teenager Gains the Gold
C.Eyes on the Stars，Teenager Wins Top Photo-prize
D.Dreams in Heart，Teenager Succeeds in Top Contest
Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career，some people
complain(抱怨) like this：Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade，I
took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don’t think I would be a
very good farmer，the results are probably a lot more accurate(精确的) than I’d like
to admit.At the time，it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical
activities.Now，I think it might have had some points that fit my personality：I like
planning (good for planning how to grow crops)，working by myself(for those long
days on an agricultural machine)，and sometimes working on a team(for harvest
time).
Watch out for any personality test that claims(声称) to be able to tell you what your
dream job is by the type of animal you’d like to be，or from your favorite breakfast
food as a child.While there are many personality assessments( 评 估 ) that areaccurate ， I’d like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-
assessments.
Before finding ways to know your work preferences，it’s important to make a clear
difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year
marine(海洋的) biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the
Whale Watch program，where he found out that he became violently seasick on any
kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales
in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most
enjoy doing and the topic is one of your interest.If that career doesn’t exist，my
advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way，you will
succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.
5.What is some people’s opinion on choosing a career through personality tests?
A.It’s possible to lead to career failure.
B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C.It’s unreasonable.
D.It’s worth a try.
6.What does the author think of the personality test she took when she was young?
A.She admits it forecasts her present job accurately.
B.She thinks it shows some part of her personality.
C.She finds it helpless for her.
D.She has little interest in it.
7.What is the best way to know your dream job?
A.Taking personality tests on your favorite things.
B.Doing accurate personality assessments.
C.Trying your dream job in practice.
D.Finding it out by yourself.
8.Why was the marine biology student unsuitable for his job?
A.He disliked the job.
B.He felt sick traveling on a boat.C.He was afraid of marine animals.
D.He knew little about his preferences.
