• 1．Briunna was just 12 years old when her mother became severely ill，allowing her to know what it was like to care for someone else.Although many members of her family were nurses，taking care of her mom was what influenced her the most and helped her decide to become a nurse.
     After she didn't get into UW-Eau Claire's nursing program the first two times she applied，Briunna began exploring potential careers.She took several business classes，but quickly realized that business wasn't the right fit for her and her real passion was in nursing.She applied to nursing again，and finally started the nursing program in the fall of 2019.
     She was just months into her first semester as a nursing major when she hit the next bump in the road.In November 2019，Briunna became extremely ill，with symptoms ranging from difficulty breathing to a high fever and a cough.Eventually，breathing became so difficult that she had to go to the emergency room.Therefore，Briunna could not attend classes the rest of the fall 2019 semester，focusing instead on regaining her mental and physical health.
     While Briunna was still in hospital，she already had connected with fellow nursing majors as well as professors，who worked closely with her to make sure she stayed on course.Those connections made all the difference when she was trying to stay on track to graduation despite her illness.
     In the spring，COVID-19 added additional obstacles（障礙）to her college journey，forcing her to find new ways to manage her time and keep herself motivated.What's worse，she also was laid off from her part-time job when stores closed，making it more difficult to pay for college.
     Despite all those obstacles，Briunna is on track to graduate with her nursing classmates in December 2021 and already is planning for what comes after she earns her bachelor's degree in nursing.
  
  （1）What inspired Briunna to be a nurse？

  
  A．Her interest in caring for others.
  B．The influence from nurses in her family.
  C．Her part-time job in a local hospital.
  D．The experience of tending to her mother.
  （2）What does the underlined word "bump" in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Disease.
  B．Barrier.
  C．Crossing.
  D．Failure.
  （3）What can we learn from Briumna's story？

  
  A．Actions speak louder than words.
  B．Many hands make light work.
  C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
  D．One good turn deserves another.

• 2．The year is 2094.It has been announced that a comet （彗星）is heading towards the earth.Most of it will miss our planet，but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the earth.
     On 17 July，a piece of four kilometers wide comet enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion.About half of the piece is destroyed，but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed.Huge waves are created and spread outwards form the hole.The wall of water，a kilometer high，rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
     Before the waves reach South America，the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes ash set off in the Andes Mountains.The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los Angeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes.Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north won't escape for long.Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun won't be seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later，no more than 10 million people remain alive.
     Could it really happen？In fact，it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth.The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years.Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space.The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out.Will we meet the same end？
  
  （1）What is mainly described in the passage？

  
  A．A historic discovery.
  B．An event in imagination.
  C．A research on space.
  D．A scientific adventure.
  （2）Why can't the northern half of the earth escape for long？

  
  A．Because the land is covered with water.
  B．Because the light and heat form the sun cannot reach the earth.
  C．Because people there cannot live at the temperature of zero.
  D．Because wars break out among countries.
  （3）By giving the example of dinosaurs，the author tries to prove

  .
  A．a(chǎn)nimals could not live in the cold climate
  B．what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
  C．the human beings will die out in 2094
  D．the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

• 3．From self-driving cars to care-bots（care+robots）for elderly people，rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
     "The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work，and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，" said Peter Andrew，Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
     A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence，social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
     The report is based on interviews with 200 experts，business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific，Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
     But the report states："Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do." Growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research.
     "The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies，" it states.
     A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.The optimists pictured "a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，" according to Aaron Smith，the report's co-author.
     "Technology will continue to affect jobs，but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been unemployed people，when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，" Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
  
  （1）We can infer from the text that in the future

  .
  A．people will face many difficulties
  B．people will take up more creative jobs
  C．a(chǎn)rtificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
  D．most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
  （2）According to the report，

  .
  A．people won't necessarily lose jobs
  B．big companies will face fewer challenges
  C．small companies will win against big companies
  D．most people will become interested in technology
  （3）What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future？

  
  A．Mixed
  B．Worried.
  C．Hopeful.
  D．Doubtful.
  （4）Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that

  .
  A．there will be enough jobs for people
  B．things will change a lot in a few years
  C．many people will become unemployed
  D．technology will totally change future jobs
