11．What are the best careers for the future？Of course，nobody can say for sure what the future holds.The best we can do is make educated guesses based on past and current trends.The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
1.Organizational disruptor
The expansion of companies often leads to some loss of their innovative ability，which weakens their competitiveness against those more creative start-ups.A disruptor would be responsible for promoting creativity，risk-taking，cooperation，and innovation，by bringing about some changes that might be wild in an organization.
2.Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today，education could be better able to meet individual needs，even with improved convenience.Like an adviser，a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.
3.Custom body part manufacturer
Doctors may expect custom organs grown or 3 D printed using their patients' own cells.After all，scientists' creation of hearts，kidneys，and livers has already had some success in the labs.Even external body parts inclining skin and ears have been grown.
4.Pharmaceutical artisan （制药师）
The increasing popularity of 3 D printing may enable the quick production of customized medications based on individual needs.It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes，habits，and medical history.
5.Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works，so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience（神经科学）with the advantages of computer technology.In the future，one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues，such as diseases，mood disorders，and paralysis （瘫痪）.

12．Nashville，Tennessee is already known to many Americans as Music City，which is famous for country music in the United States and is home to many recording companies.But recently，music recorded for video games，television shows and movies has earned Nashville a new name：Soundtrack（原声音乐）City.
The city is known for very good studio musicians.They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances.Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US.These include "Madden"， "FIFA"， "Call of Duty" and "Star Wars".
Also，more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville，including Netflix，Sony and Focus Features.A program the state of Tennessee established last year gives financial support to companies for doing business in the city.
"Nashville has become one of the major places in the world to record for films，games and television，" Steve Schnur told the Associated Press.He is president of music for Electronic Arts（EA），a video game company.In the past，Schnur worked for MTV and music production companies such as Arista.He also worked as a music supervisor on films before joining EA.For a long time，EA recorded soundtracks for their games with orchestras，or large groups of musicians，in Los Angeles，London and Eastern Europe.That changed about seven years ago when Schnur came to Nashville to record music for a game called "Dragon Age Inquisition".
"I work with the musicians in Nashville now.They are both fast and skilled，" Schnur added.This proved true even on complex songs written by well-known composers such as Hans Zimmer，Lorne Balfe，Jeff Russo and John Debney.The music of video games is often very important to the gameplay in creating both emotion and attachment to the storyline.Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film "Green Book".He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for "Madden NFL 20".
（1）What makes Nashville called Soundtrack City？
A．The achievement in soundtrack.
B．The increase in live music performance.

D．The record of country music.

13．Despite not being documented by researchers since 1968，the sengi（象鼩），a tiny bigeyed mouse with a long tail and a trunklike nose that's native to Somalia in Africa，was rediscovered living in wellpreserved habitat in neighboring Djibouti last year，and in quite healthy numbers.
An exploration beginning in 2019 looked to use local knowledge about the sengi from the people of Djibouti who said it was still there.Sure enough，it took only one trap filled with coconut，peanut butter and yeast to find the little guy.
"It was surprising，" said Steven Heritage，a research scientist at Duke University in the US. "When we opened the first trap and saw the little tuft of hair on the tip of its tail，we just looked at one another and couldn't believe it.A number of small mammal（哺乳动物） surveys since the 1970s did not find the Somali sengi in Djibouti—it was indeed a serendipitous discovery."
One of the least understood members of the 20 species Elephantulus（象鼩属），the sengi lives in habitats that are unsuitable for most human activities，allowing it to remain relatively undisturbed and safe.
"Usually when we rediscover lost species，we find just one or two individuals and have to act quickly to try to prevent their extinction，" said Robin Moore，of the Global Wildlife Conservation （GWC） group.
The team set 1，000 traps and caught 12 of the little sengis while making the first video and photographic documentation of the animal for science.Along with rediscovering the species，the team gathered DNA samples which later showed the Somali sengi to be more closely related to sengis in other corners of Africa like Morocco and South Africa.
This finding has suggested that the Somali sengi needs to be placed in a new genus—moving from Elephantulus to Galegeeska.
Like all great discoveries in science，the questions answered are only equal to the new mysteries presented，but the researchers' work has highlighted Djibouti as a biodiverse（具有生物多样性的） nation worthy of scientific study.With any luck，perhaps more discoveries are waiting to be made among its desert and salt lakes.
（1）What made the finding of the Somali sengi special？
A．It was rediscovered by Somalis.
B．It looked surprisingly different.
C．It reappeared in Africa after 53 years.
D．It had become smart enough to avoid being trapped.
（2）What does the underlined word "serendipitous" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．Unrealistic.
B．Scientific.
C．Unreported.
D．Accidental.
（3）What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？
A．How the Somali sengi manages to survive.
B．Why the Somali sengi can live peacefully.
C．How human activities affect the Somali sengi.
D．What environment the Somali sengi should live in.
（4）How did the team know the relationships between the Somali sengi and other sengis？
A．By doing DNA tests for them.
B．By studying their living habits.
C．By comparing their appearances.
D．By studying documents about them.组卷：15引用：2难度：0.5 -
14．French poet Victor Hugo （1802～1885）once said， "To learn to read is to light a fire；every syllable that is spelt out is a spark."
Today，when we read books，road signs and posters，it's probably hard to imagine that only half a century ago，about 40 percent of the world's adults were still illiterate，according to data from UNESCO.This means that two out of every five adults could neither read nor write in the 1960s.In other words，the "sparks" that now light up our world failed to do the same for theirs.
In response to this situation，UNESCO decided to name Sept.8 as International Literacy（读写能力） Day，starting from 1967.Every year，the day is celebrated to stress the importance of literacy and the progress that has been made，which itself is huge—in 2016，the global adult literacy rate rose to 86 percent，while the youth literacy rate was as high as 91 percent，according to UNESCO.
This raises a question：If the mission to promote literacy has basically been accomplished，why do we still celebrate this day？
The truth is that the definition of "literacy" keeps changing.For example，the theme for 2007 and 2008 International Literacy Day was "Literacy and health"，which targeted people's ignorance of diseases like HIV and malaria.For 2017，the emphasis was placed on "Literacy in a digital world"，because not knowing anything about the Internet in today's world is just like lacking basic reading abilities in the 1960s—it's the "new illiteracy".
The focus for this year's International Literacy Day is "Literacy and skills development".But the skills in question are not jobspecific skills，such as those required to be an electrician or a chef.Instead，the focus will be on "transferable skills"—communication，critical thinking，teamwork，and creativity，to name a few.These are the things that allow us to do our job well—any job.
（1）Why did UNESCO set up International Literacy Day originally？
A．To encourage the young people to read more.
B．To help people read books，road signs and posters.
C．To increase literacy rate from 40 percent to 86 percent.
D．To improve people's literacy by stressing its importance.
（2）How does the author show the progress in literacy？
A．By using figures.
B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions.
D．By comparing the details.
（3）What will be focused on for this year's International Literacy Day？
A．Jobspecific skills.
B．Skills of a chef.
C．Thinking critically.
D．Making electricians.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．Achievements in literacy.
B．International Literacy Day.
C．The development of UNESCO.
D．The reasons to promote literacy.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5
