Ⅲ. 阅读理解（每小题 1 分，共15 分） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A​ A pilot is a person who flies a plane, and it is one of the most popular jobs among young people. Many teenagers dream of becoming a pilot because they think this job is cool and meaningful. However, being a pilot is not easy—it requires a lot of hard work and special qualities. To be a qualified pilot, you need to have good eyesight, because clear vision is very important for flying a plane safely. You also need excellent communication skills to work well with the co-pilot and the air traffic control team.​ Besides, bravery and carefulness are necessary for pilots, as flying a plane is a challenging job. Pilots have to face all kinds of situations, such as bad weather or sudden problems during the flight, so they must stay calm and make correct decisions quickly. Pilots work very hard every day. They often fly to different cities or even foreign countries, and they have to follow strict rules to ensure the safety of all passengers and the plane.​ Sometimes, they have to work for a long time and can’t spend much time with their families, but they also have the chance to see many beautiful places around the world during their work. Many people admire pilots not only because they are cool, but also because they get a good salary. With the rapid development of air travel, more and more people choose to travel by plane, so more and more pilots will be needed in the future.​ （ ）31. What does a pilot do? ​ A. Cleans windows. B. Flies a plane. C. Interviews people. D. Works in a bank.​ （ ）32. What is NOT needed to be a pilot?​ Good eyesight. B. Excellent communication skills. C. Bravery. D. A lot of money.​ （ ）33. Why will more pilots be needed in the future?​ Because flying is easy. B. Because air travel is developing. ​ Because pilots get a good salary. D. Because many people want to be pilots.​ （ ）34. Which of the following is TRUE about pilots?​ A.They never work in bad weather. B. They can always spend time with their families.​ B.They need to follow strict rules. D. They don’t need to communicate with others. （ ）35. What can pilots do during their work according to the passage? A.Visit many beautiful places around the world. B.Stay with their families for a long time. C.Avoid all sudden problems during the flight. D. Work without following any rules. B​ Choosing a job is one of the most important decisions for everyone in their life. A good job can make us happy and bring us a sense of achievement, while a wrong choice may make us feel bored and disappointed. So when we choose a job, we should think carefully and consider several important factors, especially our interests and skills. Here are some useful suggestions to help you choose a good job that suits you.​ First of all, think about your interests. Interest is the best teacher, and it can make you work harder and more happily. If you like helping people and caring for others, you can be a teacher, a doctor or a nurse. If you like traveling and exploring new places, you can be a pilot, a tour guide or a travel writer. If you like working with machines and solving problems, you can be an engineer or a mechanic.​ Second, consider your skills and advantages. What are you good at? If you are good at communicating with people and expressing your ideas clearly, you can be an interviewer, a salesman or a speaker. If you are good at English and other foreign languages, you can be a translator, an interpreter or an English teacher. If you are good at drawing and designing, you can be a designer.​ Third, think about the future of the job. With the development of technology, the job market is changing fast. Some traditional jobs will disappear soon, while new jobs are springing up. For example, cashiers in shops and supermarkets may be replaced by self-service payment machines, but jobs like space tour guides and AI trainers will be needed more and more. Remember, there is no best job in the world, only the most suitable one. Choose a job that you like and can do well, and you will live a happy and meaningful life.​ （ ）36. What should we think about when choosing a job? ​ Interests and skills. B. Salary and time. C. Places and people. D. Age and health.​ （ ）37. If you like helping people, you can be a ______. ​ pilot B. teacher C. engineer D. cashier​ （ ）38. Which job may disappear soon? ​ Pilot. B. Teacher. C. Cashier. D. Tour guide.​ （ ）39. What is the main idea of this passage? ​ How to be a good pilot. B. How to choose a job. What jobs are popular. D. What jobs will disappear.​ （ ）40. What can we learn from the passage?​ A good job must be the highest-paid one. B. Interest can help us work better.​ C. Traditional jobs will all disappear soon. D. We don’t need to consider our skills when choosing a job.​ C​ People have different kinds of jobs in the world, and every job is important and necessary for our society. No matter what job people do, they are making contributions to our daily life. Some jobs are traditional and have been around for a long time, while others are new and appear with the development of technology. Both traditional jobs and new jobs play an important role in our life.​ Traditional jobs include farmers, teachers, doctors and window cleaners. Farmers work hard in the fields to grow food for us, so we can have enough to eat every day. Teachers work in schools to teach us knowledge and help us grow up to be useful people. Window cleaners, who are also called “spidermen”, work high up in the air to clean the windows of tall buildings, making our city brighter and more beautiful. These traditional jobs have existed for many years and are still needed today, because they are closely related to our daily life.​ With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more new jobs are springing up to meet people’s new needs. Space tour guides are one of the most popular new jobs. With the development of space tourism, more and more people want to travel to space, so space tour guides will be needed to lead the space trips and introduce space knowledge to tourists. Another new job is AI trainer, who teaches AI systems to work better and help people solve more problems in work and life.​ Some traditional jobs may be replaced by machines in the future. For example, cashiers in shops and supermarkets may be replaced by self-service payment machines, because these machines are more convenient and efficient. But this doesn’t mean that people will have no jobs. New jobs will take the place of the disappearing ones, and people can learn new skills to adapt to the changing job market. No matter what job we do, we should respect it and try our best to do it well, because every job is worthy of being valued.​ （ ）41. Which of the following is a traditional job? ​ Space tour guide. B. AI trainer. C. Window cleaner. D. Pilot.​ （ ）42. What does a space tour guide do?​ Grows food for us. B. Leads space trips and introduces space knowledge. Teaches AI to work better. D. Cleans windows of tall buildings.​ （ ）43. Why may cashiers be replaced by machines? ​ Because cashiers are lazy. B. Because machines are cheaper. C. Because self-service payment machines are more convenient. D. Because no one wants to be a cashier.​ （ ）44. What is the main idea of this passage? ​ Traditional jobs are better than new jobs. New jobs are better than traditional jobs. Every job is important, and new jobs are springing up. Machines will replace all traditional jobs.​ （ ）45. What can we do to adapt to the changing job market?​ Do nothing and wait. B. Learn new skills. Refuse to accept new jobs. D. Quit working.​ Ⅳ. 任务型阅读（每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 阅读下面短文，从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（其中有一项多余），然后回答第 50 小题。 A pilot is a great job. It is challenging but exciting.
