[1] High school is thought by many to be an exciting time when you make lasting friendships and look forward to college life. However, as all young people know, high school is full of pressures.
    [2] Fitting in is not only a major part of middle school and high school, but it is also crucial throughout life. The dream of being one of the “in-crowd” isn’t a desire you can simply tell yourself not to have; it’s something you should try to avoid.
    [3] Teachers and parents constantly tell us to be ourselves, but many of us have no idea who we really are. Those around us will always influence the choices and decisions we make. So how do you break the pattern? How can you pull away from the trends of today and make something that’s truly your own?
    [4] First, you need to gather up some courage, because being different from everyone else can be a little nerve-racking (令人緊張的).
    [5] Secondly, if you want to get anywhere, you must stop comparing yourself to others. Set aside any insecurity, because when it all comes down to it, you are who you are, and that’s all you will ever be.
    [6] Others will always influence you, and that’s OK; it’s human nature. But don’t become a clone just so you can get to the top of the social pyramid.
    [7] It will be tough at first, but if you show others that you are confident in yourself, I can tell you firsthand that they will become more accepting of the way you are.

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年遼寧省撫順市六校聯(lián)合體高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Several hundred strangers received “l(fā)ove letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang, a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

    Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China’s “ant tribe(蟻族)”, a term created by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe. “They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.” The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle -- only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant Tribe II, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of "ants" have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

    An “ant’s” average monthly salary is l, 904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

  Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

   “Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’ employment markets.” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe’s” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang

believed.

    However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang’s story is introduced in order to_________.

A. analyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobs

B. lead to the topic of the article—“ant tribe”

C. tell readers a story about those big cities

D. show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2. The “ants” fail to find high-paying jobs mainly because__________.

A. they have no diplomas from good universities

B. their majors do not meet the needs of society

C. those from rural areas are not treated equally

D. they do not have necessary professional skills

3. “Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that_________.

A. they live in narrow and small places in groups

B. they work hard but earn little for survival

C. they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D. they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

4.Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by__________.

A. creating more jobs for graduates in big cities

B. developing smaller cities to attract graduates

C. sending graduates to rural areas and small towns

D. training graduates to improve their ability

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年北京東城區(qū)高三下學(xué)期第二次聯(lián)考英語卷 題型：其他題

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Are you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.

   1.    That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.

2.  High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration.

Through computer networking, scientists, engineers, and technicians at different locations — often thousands of miles apart --- can work on the same project at once.    3.    

Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system --- a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory — before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.

Of course, computer-assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation.  4.  “CAD-CAM --- computer-aided design and manufacture --- is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary(跨學(xué)科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”

5.   A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths. For high-technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.

A. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs, and test their results.

B. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing, and testing.

C. In the future, team work will be highlighted by the introduction of new technology.

D. Sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production.

E. But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive.

F. It ends in the products which are extensions of the traditional design.

G. High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past.
