13.I was twenty years old,and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living.Unfortunately,I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be.The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching,being a nurse or sitting in an office.
But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目錄) of courses that were being offered at the local college.As I looked through it,I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language.It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations,such as law companies,the Stock Exchange,insurance companies and banks.Then I saw something that really caught my eye:"Singer"are also needed for sporting events,concerts,theatrical performances and,believe it or not,circuses!By the time I got to the bottom of the page,I knew I had found the perfect occupation.
I enrolled (注冊) on the course,which to my parents'great delight was free of charge.The course was brilliant.My favourite part was the final lesson,when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song.It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words,but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast.It was the hardest thing I have ever done-but also the most rewarding.

33.The only thing the writer knew that sheC.
A.was too old to find a job as a teacher
B.wanted to work as a nurse in a hospital
C.had never liked being in a teacher's office
D.would not get a job until she was at least 45

A.do not have to work with deaf people
B.can work in many types of different places
C.may not always find a job in their chosen field
D.a(chǎn)lmost always start their career in a law company

A.she should sing a song with a fast beat
B.she should sign a song for the last lesson
C.her teacher sang a very sad song to the class
D.she realized that her parents didn't have to pay

A.A young woman who has found her ideal career.
B.A young deaf woman who wants to help the deaf.

分析 本文講述的是我20歲時(shí),我的父母期待著我能自己掙錢謀生.我不知道自己將來的職業(yè)是什么,但是不想教書,當(dāng)護(hù)士或是坐在辦公室里.但一個偶然事件改變了我的想法,我參加了為聾人服務(wù)的課程學(xué)習(xí),最后找到了完美的職業(yè).

解答 33.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù).The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching,being a nurse or sitting in an office.作者所知道的唯一的事是她從來沒有喜歡過在辦公室工作.故選C.
34.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations可知學(xué)完手語后,可以在許多不同地點(diǎn)工作,故選B.
35.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)The course was brilliant.My favourite part was the final lesson,when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song可知作者最喜歡的課程部分是當(dāng)她該為最后一課做手語時(shí),故選B.
36.A主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章I knew I had found the perfect occupation.可知作者找到了完美的職業(yè),故選A.

3.Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians,green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red stands for good luck in many cultures.In China,children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year.For many nations,blue stands for protection.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening.
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions (反應(yīng)) toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure (血壓) to rise and increase people's appetites (食欲).Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants.Similarly,some websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eyes.
Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully.Unlike red,blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room,think about the color carefully.

44.To the Egyptians,green meansB.
A.good luck                            
B.joy of spring
C.heaven                              
D.protection
45.We can learn from Paragraph 3that green canC.
A.cause more stomachaches
B.easily catch a person's eyes
C.cut down pain and relax people
D.make people's blood pressure rise

A.To help people relaxed.
B.To bring people good luck.
C.To make people feel peaceful.
D.To encourage people to buy the things.
