7.Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time?Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work?Maybe it's not an either/or situation.Perhaps you can do both at the same time.
When choosing a career,one of the things you must consider is your interests.Why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is,in fact,an interest?Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit (消遣,嗜好) outside one's regular occupation (職業(yè))".Maybe this is a rule you should break.After all,no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation.In addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies.The combination of interest and skill is a very compelling (令人信服的) reason to choose a particular career.
"Who's going to hire someone who loves making beaded (串珠狀的) jewelry?"you may ask yourself.Good question.Don't wait for s omeone to hire you.Start your own business.That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career.Those with hobbies that involve creating things,i.e.jewelry,clothing,or pottery,may do well to sell those items on their own.Before you go forward with your plans,though,you should find out whether being an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) is for you.
When you attempt to turn your hobby into a career,don't forget to do your homework.Even though you may have enjoyed training your pet birds to sing the national song,that doesn't mean you're suitable to be an animal trainer.Be sure to research your career choice completely.There may be aspects of it that just aren't for you.In that case,stick to your day job,as they say,and save your hobby for your free time.
29.Why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph?A
A.To lead in the topic of hobby and career.
B.To describe what can be a hobby.
C.To compare hobbies with work.
D.To explain what a hobby is.
30.We can infer from paragraph 2 that many peopleB.
A.a(chǎn)lways mix their interest with their hobbies 
B.often separate their hobbies from their jobs
C.daren't break a rule of choosing their jobs  
D.don't know the true meaning of a hobby
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?C
A.Doing one's homewo rk may be a hobby.
B.A day job can't be a hobby in your spare time.
C.Not every hobby is suitable to become a career.

32.By writing this passage,the writer wants to introduceD.
A.how to choose a hobby for your free time   
B.how to develop your own hobby
C.how to treat your job as a hobby          
D.how to turn a hobby into a career.

分析 這是一篇人生感悟類閱讀.人們有事業(yè)也有自己的業(yè)余愛好,如何把業(yè)余愛好轉(zhuǎn)變成事業(yè)?最好的方法就是把兩者有機(jī)的結(jié)合在一起.

解答 29.A,推理判斷題,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time?Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work?你是否有業(yè)余愛好-在你的業(yè)余時(shí)間真正喜歡做的事情?你有沒有考慮過如果你可以在自己感興趣的事情上面花更多的時(shí)間,而在工作上花更少的時(shí)間,那會(huì)怎么樣?這兩個(gè)問句引出文章的主題,故選A.
30.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit (消遣,嗜好) outside one's regular occupation (職業(yè))".Maybe this is a rule you should break.After all,no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation.可能是因?yàn),即使在韋氏詞典上,對(duì)業(yè)余愛好的定義也是"在正規(guī)工作之外的追求".也許你該打破這條成規(guī).畢竟,沒人說(shuō)過你的興趣和工作應(yīng)該絕對(duì)分開.從這里可知"很多人經(jīng)常把他們的事業(yè)和業(yè)余愛好分離開."
31.C,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段第二句、第三句、第四句Even though you may have enjoyed training your petbirds to sing the national song,that doesn't mean you're suitable to be an animal trainer.Be sure to research your career choice completely.There may be aspects(方面)of it that just aren't for you.即使你喜歡培訓(xùn)你的34只長(zhǎng)尾小鸚鵡唱國(guó)歌也不意味著你注定適合做一名馴獸師.確保對(duì)你選擇的職業(yè)做好了充分的調(diào)查研究.也許有的方面就不適合你.
32.D,主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段最后一句  Perhaps you can do both at the same time.又或許你可以同時(shí)做到這樣的兩件事情.第三段的That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career.這可能是將你的興趣融合到工作中的最佳方式了.最后一段最后兩句There may be aspects(方面)of it that just aren't for you.In that case,stick to your day job,as they say,and save your hobby for your free time.也許有的方面就不適合你,這樣的話,就堅(jiān)持你原來(lái)的工作吧,像他們說(shuō)的一樣,將業(yè)余愛好留在工作以外的時(shí)間吧.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對(duì)原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個(gè)擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時(shí),要有較強(qiáng)的針對(duì)性.對(duì)于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對(duì)題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

12.The meaning of the word"volunteer"may be a little different in different countries,but it usually means"one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer,such as taking care of sick people,working in homes for homeless children,and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks.Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries.They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves.Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay.
   At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people.Tracy,a good friend of mine,however,recently came back from India with a new ideaof what being a volunteer means.She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta.The following is her story.
"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school,we watched a video(錄像) about her work in India and all over the world.I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school,I too wanted to try her kind of work.So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash clothes and sheets,and pass out lunch.I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them.To be honest,I don't think I was helping very much.It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help,but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of lif e and the world."
29.According to the text,a volunteer refers to a person whoA.
A.is willing to help those in need without pay
B.can afford to travel to different places
C.has a strong wish to be successful

A.a(chǎn)fter she met Mother Teresa     
B.a(chǎn)fter she finished high school
C.when she was touring Calcutta   
D.when she was working in a hospital
31.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?D
A.She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B.She had already had some experience.
C.She was asked by Mother Teresa's example.
D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresa's example.
32.What is Tracy's"new idea"(Paragraph 2)of being a volunteer?D
