When facing the task of deciding your major, you should remember that the decision you make
doesn’t mean you are only destined for one path.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION
●Do I have a career in mind?
Although your major does not necessarily dictate your career, some jobs do require a certain field of
study. If you have your future career in mind, do your research and find out the education requirements.
If you are at a loss with what you want to do, go ahead and research different career fields. A certain
job might pique your interest, and that could prompt you to pick a certain major.
●How much does money matter?
Some majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary
goal for you, search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more
information on higher-earning majors and careers.
●What do I love to do?
If you love what you study, you will be more likely to pay full attention to your classes. which will
probably lead to better grades and valuable connections in the field. Also you will find your college years
more fulfilling if you cultivate your passion!
TIPS FOR DISCOVERING WHAT INTERESTS YOU
●Explore different courses!
Don’t take random free electives just to meet the credit requirement for graduation. Explore
different subjects! By branching out of what you know, you may discover an unexpected aptitude for
sport management, or realize that you love psychology! Maybe an elective course could lead you to your
major.
●Meet with a CDC staff member!
Your Career Development Center (CDC) is eager to help you! Meet with a peer Career Ambassador
to talk about your career goals and the options for you. Also consider scheduling an appointment with a
professional staff member to discuss potential career paths, internships (实习), and more!

I’ve just got to talk about this problem I’m having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of
his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I
had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can’t break the habit. I
freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How’s the baby?” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds
him up. So why can’t I stop it?
The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complain; he talks
at me rather than to me, never listen to a word I say, and yet for some reason I’m always really nice to him. I’m
worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he won’t lift a finger to help.”
What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked
by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make
managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like
saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who
desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist (湿润的) eyes that
he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied, “If you were that sorry, I wouldn’t be leaving. ”
The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people won’t like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being
good, ” says Zelda West-Meads, a marriage guidance consultant , “they develop low self-confidence and become
compulsive (难以抑制的) givers.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short
of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is.
“There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy,” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but
feel bad about it.”
I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but... ”, and tell myself “Refusal
of a request does not mean rejection of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.
4．Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?

B．He wants to create a good impression.
C．He wants to be always polite to him.
D．It’s a way to start a chat with great politeness.

A．She doesn’t want to risk displeasing him.
B．She doesn’t pay attention to him.
C．He often refuses to help her.
D．He is impatient of her overreaction.
6．Managers are more likely to be popular if they________.
A．help the staff with their problems
B．make sure the staff do not lose their jobs
C．encourage the staff to be polite to each other
D．do not make too much effort to be liked

B．If you take time to talk to people, they will like you better.
C．You should avoid unpleasant situations where possible
D．You shouldn’t refuse other people’s requests for help.

In the digital age, technology is developing at an unprecedented speed, and the world around us is changing
rapidly. In this context, lifelong learning has become more important than ever before. Lifelong learning refers to
the process of acquiring knowledge and skills throughout one’s life, rather than just during formal education
periods such as childhood and adolescence.
One of the main reasons why lifelong learning is essential in the digital age is the rapid update of knowledge
and technology. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of things are constantly
emerging, and the knowledge and skills that were useful yesterday may become obsolete today. For example, a
programmer who learned a certain programming language 10 years ago may find that it is no longer used in the
industry, and he needs to learn new programming languages to keep up with the times. If people stop learning, they
will easily fall behind and lose their competitive advantage in the job market.
Another reason is that lifelong learning can help people adapt to changes in society. The digital age has
brought about great changes in people’s lifestyle and work methods. More and more jobs require people to have
digital literacy and the ability to use new technologies. For instance, many traditional jobs such as cashiers and
bank tellers are being replaced by self-service machines and online services. People who are willing to learn new
skills can find new job opportunities, while those who are unwilling to learn may face unemployment.
In addition, lifelong learning can enrich people’s lives and promote personal growth. Learning new knowledge
and skills can broaden people’s horizons, stimulate their creativity, and help them discover new interests. For
example, an old man who learns to use a smartphone can keep in touch with his children and grandchildren more
easily, and he can also learn about the world through the Internet. A housewife who learns to bake can not only
make delicious food for her family but also start a small baking business if she wants to.
Some people may argue that they are too old or too busy to learn. However, with the development of online
education, lifelong learning has become more convenient. People can learn at any time and anywhere through
online courses, video lectures, and e-books. In fact, age and time are not obstacles to lifelong learning; the real
obstacle is the lack of willingness to learn.
In conclusion, lifelong learning is crucial for individuals to adapt to the digital age, maintain their competitive
edge, and achieve personal growth. It is a necessary way for people to face the challenges and opportunities brought
by the rapid development of technology.
8．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The digital age.
B．A certain programming language.
C．Lifelong learning.
D．Artificial intelligence.
9．Why may traditional jobs such as cashiers face unemployment?
A．There are not enough cashiers.
B．People prefer online shopping.
C．They are replaced by new technologies.
D．The salary of cashiers is too low.
10．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Lifelong learning was not important before the digital age.
B．Online education makes lifelong learning easier.
C．Only young people need to engage in lifelong learning.
D．People with digital literacy will not lose their jobs.
11．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The development of technology in the digital age.
B．The challenges faced by people in the digital age.
C．The importance of lifelong learning in the digital age.
D．The ways to carry out lifelong learning in the digital age.

Is text-messaging driving us apart? These days, we talk to each other a lot with our thumbs — sending six
billion text messages a day, and likely a few billion more on services like WhatsApp.
But some worry that so much messaging leads to less communication. For instance, when hanging out with
friends, we’d be texting secretively at the same time, pretending to maintain eye contact but mentally somewhere
else.
New technologies often upset the way we relate to one another, of course. But such division caused by texting
have a strong echo in the arguments we had over telephone a hundred years ago. The small device gave us a new
way to contact one another and quickly promote new forms of socializing. Callers arranged regular “visiting” calls,
dialing remote family to catch up on news.
Soon, though, social critics thought it would be so easy to talk that we’d never leave each other alone. Others
worried that the telephone sped up life, demanding instant reactions. The use of the telephone gave little room for
reflection. It produced a craziness in the ordinary concerns of life which didn’t make for domestic happiness. “We
shall soon be nothing but transparent piles of jelly(果冻) to each other,” a London writer moaned in 1897.
However, nowadays the telephone call seems like a throwback to a gentler era. When Jenna Birch, a
communication professor at the University of Iowa, started dating a man who insisted on calling her on the phone,
she found it warm and delightful. So she doesn’t think the shift to texting has degraded our interactions. According
to her study, teenagers who text the most are also those who spend the most time face to face with friends.
Communication, it seems, brings more communication, and — as she argues — just because talk happens in text
doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful.
Michéle Martin of Carleton University, thinks we’re living through a replay of the telephone, where the things
that made it valuable — instant communications — are the same that made it annoying. “People believe they are
liberated because they can bring the mobile phone every where,” Martin says. “But at the same time, they are slaves
to it.”
12．What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To describe a scene.
C．To offer an argument.
D．To issue a warning.
13．According to paragraph 4, what does telephone use cause?
A．People experience very tight schedule.
B．People tend to lack individuality.
C．People become narrow and uninformed. D．People lose the ability to reflect.
14．What is Jenna Birch’s attitude towards text-messaging?
A．She finds it superior to phone calls.
B．She thinks it should be strictly limited.
C．She believes it doesn’t harm social interaction.
D．She considers it meaningless.
15．What’s the best title for the text?
A．Gone with the Wind, Dear Texting!
B．Oh My God! We’ve Been Here Before!
C．Life is Too Short for So Many Texting. D．Oh, Telephone, a Tale of Two Sides.

The Importance of Critical Thinking in the Information Age. In today’s information age, we are surrounded by
a vast amount of information from various sources such as the Internet, social media and traditional media. 16
What we need is critical thinking, which enables us to distinguish between true and false information and make
rational judgments.
Critical thinking is not about denying all information, but about analyzing and evaluating it objectively. 17
For example, when we read a news report, we should not only accept the content at face value but also check the
source of the information, the credibility of the author and whether there is sufficient evidence to support the views.
One of the key elements of critical thinking is the ability to ask questions. 18 We should ask
ourselves: Is the information consistent with known facts? Are there any logical flaws in the argument? What are
the possible biases of the information provider? By asking these questions, we can deepen our understanding of the
information and avoid being misled.
Another important aspect of critical thinking is the ability to consider different perspectives. 19 We
should try to understand the reasons behind different views and evaluate them comprehensively rather than sticking
to our own opinions. This helps us form a more objective and comprehensive understanding of things.
The reason why critical thinking is so important in the information age is 20 the spread of false
information has become a serious problem. False information can mislead the public, affect social stability and
even cause economic losses. Only by developing critical thinking can we effectively resist false information and
make informed decisions.
In conclusion, critical thinking is an essential skill for everyone in the information age. It helps us navigate the
complex information environment, make rational judgments and decisions, and ultimately promote personal and
social development.
A．The question is how we can obtain useful information from it.
B．that we are often exposed to false and misleading information.
C．What matters is whether we can think independently and objectively.
D．It means we should not accept information passively but actively engage with it.
E．The key is that we should not only listen to one side of the story.
F．that it can help us solve all the problems we encounter in daily life.
G．Is the information we receive true and reliable?

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Motivation is delicate. When you notice your motivation fading, you have to make a small adjustment, which
can make all the difference between 21 something or not.
I learned this lesson from a drive to a picturesque mountain range that lies just an hour from my city. However,
the road there is dangerously 22 , with sharp turns every few seconds. Driving through it was once a 23
. My child often got carsick, while 24 local drivers followed closely on my tail. The short journey always
left me exhausted, and my motivation to visit 25 .
One day, I tried a new approach: I drove really 26 . It helped my child, but the line of cars in my mirror
still 27 me out. Feeling pressured, I would speed up again. So then I made one small adjustment: I tilted the
rearview mirror up, 28 the view behind me.
That simple method 29 everything. I could finally enjoy the drive at my own 30 ,
appreciating the scenery. While cars occasionally pulled ahead whenever they could, they were no longer my main
31 . Each crossing of the mountains has now become a journey of peace.
I’ve reflected a lot since then. I’ve realized that we are often demotivated by 32 pressures — be they
social media, distracting environments, or 33 voices, much like those cars filling up my mirror. Learning
to occasionally “tilt the mirror”— to consciously tune out the 34 of others— is essential to protecting our
drive and 35 at our own pace.

第二节（共10 小题；每小题1. 5 分, 满分15 分）
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。
It is a well-known scientific fact that teenagers eat 50 percent more than the average person. Well, actually
three meals a day just isn’t enough 36 (satisfy) their endless hunger.
Recently Tongji University has decided to keep its canteens open till 11 p.m. and to serve healthy meals at
37 (afford) prices. When Fu Qinjun, the director of the university’s food services, 38 (interview), he
said “Students are usually hungry after studying late into the night, but our canteens used to stop service after 7
p.m. That’s 39 students turned to outside sellers, but the quality and safety of the food is not good
enough. We expected that this move would improve the situation.”
This is good news for the students who now have healthy late-night choices for their diet instead of relying on
fast food and the snacks available at
40
(inconvenient) stores. While those foods tend to create pleasure
in our brains, they are basically unhealthy when 4
1
(eat) in excess and can make us fat.
If you’ re a boarding student, you probably know about fat because it’s likely that you have put on a little
weight
42
you started school. In North America, this phenomenon is called the “Freshman Fifteen”. It
refers to
43
fact that many students gain up to fifteen pounds during the first year they are away from
home. 44 mum’s care, they tend to eat more than they should.
For young people, though,
45
(have) a healthy appetite is a good thing. However, it’s important to
learn how to eat well. So, thanks to Tongji University for helping students fill their bottomless holes with healthy
food. And now maybe the university will keep its gym open late at night so that students can walk off some of those
extra calories!

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The summer I was six, my family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I spent most of my days playing around
the house or hanging around my mother. Finally, fall arrived and I started Grade 2. I went to St. Eugene’s and was
introduced to my new teacher, Sister Monda. I was a bit surprised by this kind woman with fine features. She had a
loud voice, walked quickly, and always wore a smile.
School days carried the normal activities of classes, lunch, and recess (课间休息). Reccess was always the
toughest time for me. Being rather shy, I found it difficult for me to make friends. On the playground I would sit
with my back to the other kids, crying. I missed my mother, but also feared that the other kids would laugh at me
when they saw me crying. This went on day after day and seemed like it would never end. Then one day I saw my
mother stop at the gas station across the street from the playground. Noticing her, I ran across the street as quickly
as possible, and made it to her side safely. By this point, I was crying loudly, begging my mother to take me home.
Instead, my mother took me to the principal’s office, and Sister Monda joined us there. When asked how we
could deal with the situation, Sister Monda simply stated, “Just wait. It’s time to get busy.”
And we did get busy. When recess rolled around, Sister Monda was the full-time group leader. She made sure
every kid got an opportunity to catch the football, hike it, and block her awesome passing ability. She got everyone
involved in the games. In reality, she set herself up to be the main target of all the balls the other kids and I threw,
but she didn’t mind at all. She was the best and tallest basketball player, but she always made certain everyone got a
chance to shoot for the basket and bounce the ball down the court.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With the help of Sister Monda, I stopped hiding in the corner at recess.
