dress with long sleeves and a lace neck.We didn’t have any such dress，and when I explained that to her，she wasn’t very happy.Instead of getting annoyed，I tried getting to know her a bit better and asked what the dress was for，so I could find other items in her size that could work.We shared our love of the Netflix fashion show，and she ended up buying 200 worth of new clothes，having found other items she liked.This experience has taught me to be more open with strangers.
Every job has its share of frustrations and challenges；to do well you must learn to deal with them.I’ve learned this from my own experience，and it has helped me in other aspects of my life as well.
11.What was the author’s first job? (no more than 5 words)
Selling clothes./She sold clothes./She worked as a shopgirl./Working in a clothing store./Working as a shopgirl./She was a shopgirl.
解析 由第二段第一句“At the age of 16，I was offered my very first job as a shopgirl in a clothing store.”可知，作者的第一份工作是在服装店担任售货员。
12.What is the meaning of the underlined word in Para.2? (no more than 3 words)
Huge and difficult./Too much./Beyond Demanding./Great in me./Difficult./Tough./Hard./Frustrating./Challenging./ amount. 解析 overwhelming为形容词，用来修饰work。根据定位词后的“每件事都必须精确地完成”，以及下文中作者一开始遇到了很多困难，可知该词形容“很难”。
13.How did the author manage to meet the customer’s needs in Para.3? (no more than 15 words)
She learned about the customer’s interest and helped her get the clothes that suited her./By learning about the customer’s taste and what her dress was for./She helped the customer to get the clothes she likes. 解析 第三段讲述了一位女士来店里挑选衣服，并没有找到她想要的那种，可作者根据该女士对衣服的要求及用途，为她在店中挑选了适合她的其他衣服。
14.How has the author’s work experience changed her in personality? (no more than 10 words)It has made her patient and more open with people/strangers./She is(more) patient and more open with people/strangers./She has become (more) patient and more open with people/strangers./She is more patient and open facing frustrations and challenges. 解析 全文共详细讲述了作者的两件工作内容。第一件为在店内整理衣服，这个经历使作者学会要有耐心。第二件为作者与客户沟通，这个经历教会了作者与陌生人的交往要更加大方。由此推测这两份工作改变了作者的性格，使她面对陌生人更加有耐心，更加开朗。
15.What job would you like to do? How can you help people in your work? (no more than 20 words)
I’d like to be a teacher.I can help children acquire knowledge and grow up./I’d like to be a doctor so that I can improve people’s health and save their lives./I’d like to be a policeman.I can protect people from danger and create a safe living environment. 解析 开放性问题，答案合理即可。 Ⅱ.书面表达

Norman Croucher,70，a disabled man who lost both his legs when he was
a teenager，has climbed more than 100 mountains，including the Alps and the Himalayas.
As a climber from a young age，doctors told Croucher he would have to give up his hobby when，at the age of 19，he had both his legs amputated(截肢) after falling onto railway tracks of an oncoming train.
But despite warnings from friends and family，he always refused to give up—and has spent 53 years since taking on dangerous mountain climbs.
The smallest mountain he has climbed is more than 8,200 feet tall—and he has even decided to reach a 26,000-foot summit(顶点) in the Himalayas.
Despite recently being diagnosed(诊断) with cancer，he has decided to carry on.He is now preparing himself for an adventure to the Alps again.“Life is like a muscle and if you don’t use it，it’ll waste away and climbing for me is like using the muscle of life，” he said.
Mr.Croucher said that not having any legs wasn’t always a disadvantage and in some ways he felt it had helped him when climbing.He said，“Because there’s less of me and I have a shorter blood circuit(血液循环)，so I take in oxygen better.So I may be slower on the lower mountain but then different at the top.And because there’s less body surface to lose heat from，I keep warmer as well so often I’m more comfortable than the others.And there are advantages on long distance flights，too. I can take my legs off and lay on two seats and have quite a good sleep.”
Croucher was awarded an OBE(大帝国勋章) for his work encouraging disabled people to try adventurous sports.He fought against those who held the view that only common competitive sports were suitable for disabled people.

(2017·天津静海一中调研)
Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the administrative circle，beauty can become a liability.
Although attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the administration ladder，it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male administrators were considered to be more honest than plainer men，though effort and ability were also thought to account for their success.
Attractive female administrators were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones，and very often their success was believed to be connected not to ability but to factors such as luck.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine(男性的) than the less attractive ones.Thus an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but in a traditionally masculine position an attractive woman appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.
This is true even in politics.“When the only clue is how he or she looks，
