2015年北京海淀高三一模理科全套试题及答案(10)

During this winter vacation, I worked as a volunteer guide in the National Museum of China. It was an extremely unforgettable opportunity.

A few days before the vacation, I applied for the job online. Not long after, I was lucky enough to be given the job. Then I attended a 5-day training course as soon as the vacation began. I was taught how to be both an informative and entertaining tour guide. This was very useful, as I had not done this type of work before. After that, every day over the following two weeks, I gave tours around the Silk Road exhibition, which gave an interesting insight into China’s past. I was delighted to be praised for being an outstanding volunteer at the end of the vacation. (112 words)

W: When you're in the gym, the air is really bad. Does that bother you?

M: It does actually bother me, so I do prefer to go when it's not too crowded.

W: But you know, sometimes I still wonder if it's healthy to exercise inside because if you exercise outside, you can get more fresh air.

M: I think you're right about that. It does feel better when I get exercise outside, but sometimes I'm so busy and if the weather's not good, it's just easier to go to the gym. And a little exercise inside is better than no exercise.

W: You're right actually. So if I want to lose weight, what would you recommend? M: Basically, just exercise within your limits and eat healthy. W: I think it's just common sense. Do you think I'll lose weight?

M: Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. You definitely don't need to lose weight. W: Well, that's kind of you. Thanks. Text 9 M: Hello. I’m Peter Robertson, and this is London Life. In the program today, let me ask you a question first: What do you think would be the hardest job in Britain? A police officer? Perhaps a deep-sea fisherman? Well, no, according to a recent research, being a London taxi driver takes that prize. It’s really a hard job, really difficult. One reason is the traffic. It’s getting worse and worse in London. For most of us, if we have to sit in a traffic jam for a few minutes, we get anxious. But imagine if you had to do that all day, every day as your job. What’s more, passengers are in a hurry, and that makes things worse for the drivers. Besides, to prepare for the test, would-be drivers have to remember ways and places of interest around Central London. This is an area which has about 25,000 streets. They need to be able to take passengers from A to B without having to look at a map and without having to ask for directions. It usually takes nearly three years to pass the test, well, anyway, this is a most tiring job. Next time you’re stuck in a traffic jam and feel mad, think more about the taxi drivers, who have to spend most of their working life in them.
