解析
试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是手表的发展。虽然现在的青少年们不喜欢用手表，但是手表这一个悠久历史的发明物并不会退出人们的生活舞台。很多二、三十岁的人们仍然喜欢用手表，而且现在的手表不管是从外形，还是从功能上，都发生了很大的变化，它已经不只是一个报时的东西了。
小题1:根据短文第一段的内容以及A teenager says it’s unnecessary to wear a watch.可知，现在的青少年们都觉得没有必要戴手表，他们可以通过手机来知道时间。这里wear a watch或wear watches都可以。
小题2:根据短文第二段中However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s.可知，手表制造商们说，当人们二、三十岁的时候，手表会变得又受欢迎起来。那个年龄的人们愿意花钱来买一块好的手表。
小题3:句意：现在手表为人们提供很多用途，来满足不同个性的人们的需求。他们可以用作指南针、日历，甚至磁盘驱动器。根据句意可知，这里作者告诉了我们现在手表的很多用途，故这个空应该填watches。
小题4:纵观文章大意可知，短文的最后一句话对这篇文章的中心做了一个总结，是整篇文章的中心句。All in all, a watch has become more important than the time it tells.总而言之，手表已经变得比告诉时间更重要了。故这个题的答案就是短文的最后一句话。
小题5:这个句子中使用的短语是try one’s best to do sth.，尽某人的最大努力去做某事；create是一个动词，意思是创造，在这里我们可以根据文意翻译成设计或制造；new kinds of watches，新型的手表。因此这句话的意思是：人们一直/总是在努力创造/设计/制造新型/种类的手表。

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
___________________. We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.

Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities. So even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.
The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $5.
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc.
Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.
Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the small, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for you teens.
Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable(合乎情理的) and also your parents don’t have to always drive.

 Sally: an animal doctor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite. Have you ever done any other jobs? Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.  Leo: an actor What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job? So many bad things have happened-but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more. Have you ever done any other jobs? Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street. What’s the worst job you’ve ever done? The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible- I’ve never eaten an egg since then. |
