• 2．When I was young，I had no idea what I wanted to do.The choices were thin.It was assumed（假定的）that I'd go to college，and after that I could be a mom.I could be a secretary.I could be a nurse or a teacher.If anyone asked，I said I wanted to be a writer.Even I knew that wasn't a real job.Mostly，I didn't think about it.
     But just as I was coming of age，a world of possibility opened up.By the time I graduated from college with a science degree，I still didn't know what I wanted to do.And one day，after seeing a notice in the paper，I remembered there was something I'd wanted to do，once.It sounded fun，so I took the test to be a mail carrier.The new Postal Service was by law an inclusive group.If you got a good enough score，you were in.
     It was an older woman conducting（執(zhí)行）my fitness entry exam who was the first to disagree.This wasn't a job for a girl，she said.And I shouldn't take a man's job away from him.He has a family to support.Despite that poor assumed man's family，I became one of perhaps a dozen female carriers in the whole city of Portland，Oregon.
     On the street，I was a novelty（新奇的人）.I didn't go a single day without hearing some friendly words：Well，I guess we can't call you the mailman，can we？We'll have to call you the mail-woman!Those particular words somehow appeared naturally in thousands of minds at once.My existence received attention.It's hard to imagine now.
     Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world.Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier.And finally，I get to be a wrjye.aier.It's still not really a job.
  
  （1）What can we know about the author when she was young？

  
  A．She studied hard to be a writer.
  B．She knew little about what a real job was.
  C．She never wanted to go to college.
  D．She had no plan for her future.
  （2）Why did the author want to be a mail carrier？

  
  A．She could do nothing else after her graduation.
  B．She thought it interesting to be a mail carrier.
  C．She got a high score in the test to be a mail carrier.
  D．She was bored with studying for a science degree.
  （3）What was the older woman's attitude to the author's decision？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Negative.
  C．Unclear
  D．Careless.
  （4）What was the author's purpose in writing this text？

  
  A．To share the story of her career options.
  B．To stress the importance of a career plan.
  C．To show the fun of being a mail carrier.
  D．To express her regret about her job choice.

• 3．As seabird biologist Bonnie Slaton slides off a small boat and walks through high water，the brown pelicans（鵓鴣）spread their wings overhead until she reaches Raccoon Island.The narrow island is a small piece of land separating the American state of Louisiana from the Gulf of Mexico.During the seabird breeding（繁殖）season，the place，one of the few remaining places of safety for the pelicans，is full of noise.
     Twelve years ago，there were 15 low-lying islands with breeding areas for Louisiana's state bird.However，today，only about six islands in southeastern Louisiana have brown pelican nests and the rest have disappeared underwater.
     Slaton and other scientists set up cameras to observe pelican nests on the island.The cameras show that in recent years the pelicans have faced some natural disasters.The main killer of them is flooding，which can wash away all the nests，as happened in April 2021.The disappearing islands are the location of a story of successful conservation.For many years，scientists have worked to bring the pelicans back from totally dying off.
     Mike Carloss is a state wildlife biologist in Louisiana.He said he never saw brown pelicans as a child in the 1960s.Their populations had been killed by the use of DDT，a kind of farm chemical.It thinned eggsbells and prevented pelicans from giving birth to young birds.The beloved birds were completely gone from Louisiana，only appearing on the state flag.But a long-running effort to save them led to the birds' return.After DDT was stopped in the U.S.jye.ai 1972，biologists brought young pelicans from nearby Florida to let them inhabit empty islands across the Gulf of Mexico again.More than 1，200 pelicans have been set free in southeastern Louisiana over 13 years.
     The brown pelicans can live more than 20 years.So，the final effect of disappearing breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take time to become clear.And the future for pelicans is uncertain on the islands.
  
  （1）What is a killer of brown pelicans？

  
  A．The island movement.
  B．The disappearance of breeding areas.
  C．The increase of human population.
  D．The underwater noise.
  （2）Why did the scientists set up cameras？

  
  A．To s op illegal hunting.
  B．To record the number of pelicans.
  C．To predict serious flooding.
  D．To watch pelicans' homes.
  （3）What does the underlined word"inhabit"in paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Break into
  B．Focus on.
  C．Live on.
  D．Look into.
  （4）How does the author feel about the pelicans' future？

  
  A．Unconcerned
  B．Proud.
  C．Curious.
  D．Doubtful.

• 4．Elevators（電梯）haven't been updated much in 150 years but PLP Architecture wants to change that.
     PLP's.IUMO，formerly known as the SkyPod，is an elevator that runs outside of buildings instead of inside.That means IUMO doesn't just go up and down.It can turn and go in any direction the user requires.Unlike traditional elevators，IUMO runs on a track fixed onto the building's outside.
     In action it looks almost like a roller coaster-elevator hybrid as it goes up，down and circles around a building.However，the passengers inside IUMO aren't rolling upside down with it.In fact，the futuristic elevator won't even make your ears uncomfortable.IUMO works like a gyroscope（陀螺）.The elevator car is totally stabilized（穩(wěn)定），while the part that connects to the track is what turns."It uses the same stabilization systems of high-speed trains，"PLP stated."Driving this is a motor system similar to that used by roller coasters and Maglev trains."
     But the goal isn't just to change elevators.It's also to reimagine the experience of actually riding one."Imagine such an elevator in which your journey begins at home，pauses at your favorite cafe and ends directly on your 55th-floor office，"PLP said.
     The company believes that IUMO will be able to change the way buildings are designed in the future too.Traditional elevators，which require expensive equipment，already affect a building's architecture.
     "TUMO will allow for new types of buildings that，despite their height，match the city style，"PLP stated."The elevator has been a primary influence on the shape and appearance of the modem city to date.We believe that the certain end of it will be the encouragement for the next chapter in the life of the city."
  
  （1）In what way is IUMO special？

  
  A．It makes passengers roll.
  B．It runs inside the building.
  C．It goes in different directions.
  D．It goes up and down.
  （2）How will the passengers in the IUMO feel？

  
  A．Nervous.
  B．Comfortable.
  C．Sick.
  D．Excited.
  （3）What influence will IUMO have on the building？

  
  A．Depth.
  B．Application
  C．Architecture.
  D．Material.
  （4）What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to？

  
  A．The city.
  B．The shape.
  C．The building.
  D．The elevator.
