(2024·湖南省十三校高三聯(lián)考) As a star computer scientist, Cristina Fonseca had lots of job offers, but she turned them all down. She decided to start her own business Talkdesk. She lives in Portugal but does business all over the globe by using software.
The global economy works well for such people.
But the world of work has been less kind to other young folks. Florence Moreau, a young architect in Paris, had the double misfortune to leave university in 2009, when the world economy was on its knees; and to be French. “I really need a full-time, permanent job,” she says. Under France's 3,800-page labour code, workers on permanent contracts
receive generous benefits and are extremely hard to get rid of. So French firms have all but stopped hiring permanent staff: Four-fifths of new employees are on short-term contracts. Ms Moreau has had eight jobs, none lasting for longer than 16 months. With a small child at home, she has to keep looking for the next one. “It's tiring,” she sighs.
Joblessness matters. The longer people are out of work, the more their skills and their self-confidence atrophy,_the less appealing they look to potential employers and the more likely they are to give up.
Trade unions often favour a minimum wage. This can help those who already have jobs, but if it is set too high it can crowd out those with the fewest skills and the least experience, who tend to be young.
A labour system where companies can hire and fire easily is urgently needed.
Making it easier for young people to start their own business is essential, too. They may be full of energy and open to new ideas.
Also, there is a huge mismatch everywhere between the skills that many young people can offer and the ones that employers need. Ms Fonseca says she cannot find the right talent for Talkdesk. As economies grow more complex, demand for practical skills will keep rising. The world's schools are not even close to meeting it.
1.What can we learn about Cristina Fonseca?
A.She does business only in Portugal.
B.When seeking a job, she was refused many times by employers.
C.Her company is not related to information technology.
D.She can't find the talents she wants.
2.What does the underlined word “atrophy” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Increase.B.Shrink.
C.Overcome.
D.Survive.
3.Why can't Moreau find a permanent job?
A.Employers don't want to give workers good welfare.
B.She didn't finish university studies.
C.The world economy is booming.
D.The French government hasn't taken any measures for unemployment.
4.Which measure is actually useless for unemployment?

I
believe in taking action to solve problems around me. Passively accepting the status quo (現(xiàn)狀) is something that doesn't even cross my mind.
My mother wrote poetry, books, and letters to the editor to try to change the world — some were published; others remained manuscripts that she worked and reworked with comments from authors she respected. She did not sit still.
When, at ninety-three, illness left her only a short time to live, she told me that she had submitted her recent book of poetry to a publisher but hadn't received a response from them. So I called the publisher, only to learn that the company had stopped operating for lack of money. As my mother's health was slipping quickly, there wasn't time to find a different publisher. After a few weeks of feeling helpless, I began to look for another solution.
Luckily, I found a printer, who was touched by my mother's story and quickly moved into action with me. We worked together to complete the book just a few days before I left to see my mother for the last time. I handed it to her gift-wrapped. Her pain medication made it hard for her to see and think clearly, and she struggled to read the title of the book I had given her. When she finally recognized her title, her face softened into a smile. “You remembered,”
she said and then passed away with no regret. And then I knew — she had expected all along that I wouldn't sit_on_my_hands when in trouble and take action actively.
Not finding a solution wasn't an option. And this has guided me through so much of my life. I live in the world of education and opportunity. This is a daily challenge. When faced with a problem, I can't simply shrug my shoulders and say, “I don't know.”
While I can't change the world alone, I can't accept the status quo, and I need to take action.
5.Why did the author's mother receive no response after submitting her recent poetry?
A.The readers didn't like her works.
B.She was not a well-known writer.
C.The publisher went out of business.
D.Her illness shocked the publisher.
6.How did the author's mother react when seeing her book published?
A.She passed away without any regret.
B.She decided to write more works.
C.She recovered from her illness.
D.She was too ill to say anything.
7.What does the underlined part
“sit on my hands”
in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Work up.
B.Keep calm.
C.Feel depressed.
D.Do nothing.
8.What did the author learn from her mother?
A.It's never too late to write.
B.Action speaks louder than words.
C.One good turn deserves another.
$來(lái)&源:D.Two heads are better than one.

For visitors, Teller Lake in Colorado looks like a fishbowl filled with thousands of gorgeous goldfish. However, to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department they are a group of dangerous species that could end up destroying the lake's ecosystem.
The problem is that these fish aren't native to the lake, which means they have no predators (捕食者). This allows them to multiply in large numbers. Park officials believe that most of them are a result of a few unwanted pet goldfish that were thrown into the lake.
While that may appear to be a kind thing to do, it is extremely dangerous, not to mention illegal. That's because as this non-native species grow in numbers, they compete with the existing fish for food sources like small insects.Given that there is only a limited supply of resources, this could result in the goldfish overpowering the native fish species. In the case of Teller Lake, the officials are particularly worried that the goldfish will move downstream and affect the population of some of the endangered native species that live there. Another major cause for concern is the diseases the goldfish may be carrying.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists, therefore, have no option but to remove the fish from the lake in the most efficient manner. The fish will then be fed to injured birds like eagles and osprey.
Experts say that most owners believe they are doing the “right thing” by returning their pet to the wilderness. However, saving one pet often results in destroying the area's ecosystem and hurting other animals. According to experts, the best way to dispose_of unwanted fish or any other animal is to get advice from the people that sold the pet.
9.Why did the dangerous goldfish appear in Teller Lake?
A.They were born into the lake.
B.They were thrown by Park officials.
C.They were abandoned by their owners.
D.They were brought in by some biologists.
10.How is the lake's ecosystem likely to be influenced by the goldfish?
$來(lái)&源:A.Native fish may be eaten by them.
B.New diseases may be brought in.
C.The lake water may be polluted.
D.Food sources may be increased.
11.What will happen to the goldfish after
they're caught?
A.They'll be killed at once.
B.They'll become food for birds.
C.They'll be set free downstream.
D.They'll be raised in the fishbowl.
12.What does the underlined phrase “dispose of” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Attend to.
B.Take over.
C.Get rid of.
D.Hold on to.
