第2 练 中国年轻人的副业选择
Step 1: 阅读理解
A recent survey by China Youth Daily shows that 85.5 percent of young Chinese are willing to take up side jobs. Of
the 2,454 respondents aged from 18 to 35, nearly 12 percent have already had a side job in addition to their full-time
work.
Liu Qing, a young employee in Beijing who said she is planning to start a side job, warned that some young people
think the standards for establishing a side business are low – they start casually, doing whatever job they want, even if it
may not be suitable for them. “I think that if you want to be successful in your side job, you must do effective market
research and understand how your skill set fits in the market,” she said.
"Some young people choose side jobs out of proactive consideration”. Wang Ting, a professor of China University
of Political Science and Law, told China Youth Daily. “For example, starting with their own hobbies, so that their
professional abilities and expertise can be improved through it, and they can make more valuable contributions to
society. This is worth encouraging,” Wang said.
"While, there are also some young people who passively choose to do side jobs just because their full-time job is
unable to meet their personal, family and material needs. This may be very stressful, and it would be difficult to have
time to take care of their family after work, and cannot guarantee or improve the quality of their full-time jobs," the
professor added.
1. How does Liu Qing think about doing a successful side job?
A. Conduct a rough market survey. B. Develop skills needed by the market.
C. Establishing a side business at a low level. D. Attempt to do whatever they like.
2. What does the underlined word “proactive” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. passive. B. negative. C. active. D. positive.
3. What is important as for the choice of a side job in Wang Ting’s opinion?
A. The income provided by the side job.
B. Whether it makes great contributions to society.
C. Taking your hobby and interest into consideration.
D. Improving one’s professional abilities and expertise.
4. What can be inferred in the last paragraph? 】BCCD
A. You can’t live a better life without doing part-time work.
B. It is not advisable to do a part-time job entirely out of material considerations.
C. Doing a full-time job to the best of your ability is the most important.
D. It is impossible to ensure the quality of work while taking good care of family.
Step 2: 材料再利用
1.
casually 随便地
His arm was draped casually around her shoulders.
他随意地将手臂搭在她的双肩上。
2.
proactive 积极主动的
Her proactive reaction to the crisis set an example for the team.
她对这次危机积极主动的处理方式为团队立下了的榜样。
3.
expertise 专业知识
We need to tap the expertise of the people we already have.
我们需要利用我们现有人员的专业知识。
4.

C
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help
railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky”
technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are
safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to
inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and
switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time
performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated
that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending
maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be
avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting
faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t
need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be
moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced
sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could
signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
28. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A. The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.
29. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Personnel safety.
B. Assistance from drones.
C. Inspection and repair.
D. Construction of infrastructure.
30. What function is expected of the rail drones?
A. To provide early warning.
B. To make trains run automatically.
C To earn profits for the crews.
D. To accelerate transportation.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术，无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又
能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。
【28 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could
do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct
position of railway tracks and switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来
检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置)”可推知，无人机在高空工
作的能力使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选B。
【29 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on
maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计，
仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200 亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修
铁路基础设施)”可知花在maintenance 上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure （检查和维修
铁路基础设施”，由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway
personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和 C 项：Inspection and repair(检
修)含义相近。故选C。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the
train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving
trains would be able to react in time.(带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前
面行驶。 凭借他们的预见能力，他们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应。)”
可知对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选A。
【31 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段“Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of
railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of
applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and
infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.(一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同
时，帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元?这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术的未来，以确保全球数百
万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机
应用于铁路线路成为可能;第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲
到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改
变铁路的未来，所以D 项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。”符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。
故选D。
D
The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it
would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml,
was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are
consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first six months
showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in
April 2019, which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造
商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’
efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay
between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.
However some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change
for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are
small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by
raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to
have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
32. Why was the sugar tax introduced?
A To collect money for schools.
B. To improve the quality of drinks.
C. To protect children’s health.
D. To encourage research in education.
33. How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax?
A. They turned to overseas markets.
B. They raised the prices of their products.
C. They cut down on their production.
D. They reduced their products’ sugar content.
34. From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?
A. Most alcoholic drinks.
B. Milk-based drinks.
C. Fruit juices.
D. Classic Coke.
35. What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?
A. It is a short-sighted decision.
B. It is a success story.
C. It benefits manufacturers.
D. It upsets customers.

cut by manufacturers so they can avoid paying the tax.（此前，制造商已经降低了商店中销售的超过一半的软饮料
的含糖量，以避免纳税）”可知，一些饮料公司通过降低了产品的含糖量来避税。故选D 项。
【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar
tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic

如经典可口可乐，已经接受了糖税，并拒绝改变，因为担心会惹恼消费者。果汁、以牛奶为原料的饮料和大
多数酒精饮料是免税的，每年生产不到100 万升的小公司也是免税的）”可知，糖税主要来自经典可口可乐
这些高糖品牌。故选D 项。
【35 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive
influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities and healthier eating in schools.（根

According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting
at a dinner party.
1 , if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first
time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than "What
do you do for a living? ", you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're
talking to. 2 , it can bring in "I have this old, broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy
people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.
3 ? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）.
If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the
situation. 4 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence
at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment （赞
扬）. 5 . Just quickly turn around and say, "This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all
about it."
So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring

You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a
brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 1
"I often send postcards to family and friends, " he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a
while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it, 2 " Seeking
other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online, Many would say
the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直
觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing. com, a social network that has grown to
575, 217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 3 Running the
website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common
communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive
a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 4 So a common
language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to Engish. 5 That said, we know of many
postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of
postcrossing. " Paulo says.
A.And that's totally fine.
B.That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C.He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D.Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E.On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F.Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G.In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【文章大意】一位热爱明信片的电脑工程师把这项热爱发展成了他的全职事业，并介绍了一些写明信片的困

short 简言之，就是上文的概括，概括为loves postcards and the excitement…喜欢明信片，喜欢收到远方朋友手
写卡片的兴奋感。故选G 项。
2 ：A。考查前后文联系。上文说 "你意识到并不是每个人都喜欢明信片"，下文说 "寻找其他志同道合的
人……" 表示主人公接受上文所讲事实，然后才能和有共同兴趣的人继续自己的爱好。A 项 "这完全没问题"
正是表示主人公接受这一点。故选A 项。
3 ：E。考查段落主旨和前后文联系。全段都在写主人公将自己的爱好发展成了一个成功的社交网站。前文的
各项数据也和E 项的数据衔接自然，都是在介绍这个网站的成功；同时，这些数据的量都很大，使得空白后
"运营这个网站几乎成了全职工作" 成为必然的结果。故选E 项。
4 ：F。考查段落主旨和前后文联系。全段都在写对于写明信片来说，语言可能是一个障碍。4 空前是具体的
论据 "尽管收到一封用中文写的明信片很酷，但如果收信人不理解中文的话，这个明信片就没什么意义" 。紧
接着加F 项 "类似地，如果你只讲中文，收到一封瑞典语的明信片也会让乐趣大打折扣" 同样都是对段落主旨
的论证，而在衔接上用了similarly 也很自然，故选F 项。
5 ：B。考查与上文的联系。前文说 "很多中国人对英语的接触有限"，这导致用英语写明信片比较难，正是B
项所说 "那使得学习和练习写英语明信片尤其得难"。选项中That 指代上文的句子；而句尾的it 指代上一段段
尾句English is required in postcrossing。B 项与上文衔接紧密，故选B 项。

2. 2021 年6 月新高考全国1 卷（母亲节的惊喜）
第二节（满分25 分）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。
A MOTHER'S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's
Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to
make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to
it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.
They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they
made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jema found the bread and
put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jef turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.
Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned
black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time,
she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the
porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas
quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jef to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of
the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand
in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear ！The piece of bread in the pan had turned
black as well.

答案
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. One look and he knew what they were
up to. Seeing their discouraged faces, he told them to clean up the kitchen while he helped them make breakfast for
Mother. The twins cheered up and did as told. Within an hour, the kitchen was cleaned, and Father had successfully
made some French toast and chicken porridge as the children wished. Then he sneaked back to bed. The twins prepared
the breakfast tray, added a card they had made, and then headed for their parents' bedroom.
当这对双胞胎失望地环顾四周时，他们的父亲出现了。他看了一眼，他就知道他们在做什么。看到他们
沮丧的脸，他让他们打扫厨房，同时帮他们为母亲做早餐。这对双胞胎高兴起来，照做了。不到一个小时，
厨房就打扫干净了，父亲按照孩子们的意愿，成功地做了一些法式吐司和鸡肉粥。然后他偷偷溜回床上。双
胞胎准备了早餐托盘，加了一张他们做的卡片，然后前往他们父母的卧室。
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. "Happy Mother's Day, darling Mummy!"
thrilled voice yelling from their throat, the twins hugged their mom tightly. Moved and excited, mother held the twins
with her warm arms as well. Her eyes widened at the sight of the breakfast tray. She shook father who was pretending
to snore. He whistled in astonishment when seeing the breakfast. Mother bit into a sandwich and said she had
never tasted a better one. Jeff immediately wanted to have a bite. Jenna caught her father's eye and they winked at each
other secretly.
这对双胞胎把早餐带到楼上，叫醒了他们的母亲。“母亲节快乐，亲爱的妈妈！”激动的声音从他们的
喉咙里叫喊着，双胞胎紧紧地拥抱着他们的妈妈。母亲感动而激动，也用她温暖的胳膊抱着这对双胞胎。一
看到早餐托盘，她就睁大了眼睛。她摇着假装打鼾的父亲。当他看到早餐时，他惊讶地吹着口哨。妈妈咬了
咬三明治，说她从来没有尝过比这更好的三明治过。杰夫立刻想咬他一口。詹娜抓住了她父亲的目光，他们
偷偷地互相眨了眨眼。
