Teenagers in America know that they'll possibly need technical skills to find good jobs, but a new survey reveals that interest in technology-related careers may be decreasing.
The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math—or STEM—careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged.
But the 1,000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.
"Kids don't understand how technology can be applied to careers in addition to computers, and maybe robotics," said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting. "That's all they know, so they can't really translate that interest to career pathways."
When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured (以……为专题) the pilots from World War Ⅱ. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. "Immediately that was the career for me,'' she said.
Women remain outnumbered(超过) by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls9 interest in STEM careers is concerning.
Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in running after careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls' interest in STEM, "I don't think we really talk that much about how we improve people's lives through STEM,'' Grocholski said.
Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering as an example of a career that will continue to be important.
However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging.
The second skill they said they need is relationship building. "That's going to be the new type of engineers," Latham said.
1. What is the passage mainly about
A. Some successful examples of kids choosing tech careers.
B. Reasons behind teenagers' decreasing interest in tech careers.
C. The difference in choice of jobs between boys and girls in America.
D. The popularity of tech careers among kids and its reasons.
2. What is the reason behind kids' losing interest in tech careers
A. They see tech careers as boring.
B. They find tech skills less important than before.
C. They don't think tech careers can bring rewards.
D. They can't connect their tech interest with future careers.
3. What can we learn from Grocholski's words
A. STEM careers have nothing to do with people's lives.
B. Teenage girls are interested in running after STEM careers.
C. The relationship between STEM careers and the improvement of people's lives isn't explained enough.
D. Teenagers don't know how to improve people's lives through STEM.
4. What aroused Holmes' interest in her career
A. A summer camp for pilots.
B. Her parents' wish for her.
C. A report about the life of pilots.
D. Her flight experience with a pilot.
答案以及解析
一、填空
1.答案：constantly
2.答案：explosions
3.答案：was invented
4.答案：independently
5.答案：myself
6.答案：inspiration
7.答案：educating
8.答案：contribution
9.答案：boiled

10.答案：Obviously
二、语法填空
答案：held; to be knocked; However; a; losing; is; our; can't/couldn't/wouldn't; that; importance
解析：①根据时间状语"Last week"可知,本句应用一般过去时。故填held。
②pretend to do 表示“假装做某事”。one of them与knock into之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。故填to be knocked。
③前后是转折关系,空后有逗号。故填However。
④winner是可数名词,此处用不定冠词表示泛指,且winner以辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑤mean表示“意味着”时,后面接动词-ing 形式作宾语。故填losing。
⑥本句陈述的是客观事实,应该用一般现在时,主语为主语从句,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
⑦try one's best是固定短语,表示“尽某人的最大的努力”。本句的主语是we,故填our。
⑧根据句意可知,此处表示“不可能”也可把Without引导的短语理解成一个虚拟条件句,表示对现在情况的虚拟用could/ would (not) + do。故填 can't/couldn't/wouldn't。
⑨考查强调句型。重要的是过程而不是结果。分析句子结构中可知,此处为强调句型,其基本结构为:it is +被强调部分+ that +其余部分,本句强调的是主语。故填that。
⑩空格处的单词作动词find的宾语,应用名词。故填importance。
三、阅读理解
答案：(1)-(4)BDCD
解析：(1)根据第一段中的“but a new survey reveals that interest in technology-related careers may be decreasing”可知, 调查显示人们对科技相关职业的兴趣正在下降, 本文分析了造成这一结果的原因, 故B项正确。
(2)根据第四段中的“so they can’t really translate that interest to career pathways”可知, 孩子们对科技相关职业失去兴趣的原因是他们无法将那种兴趣转化为职业道路。
(3)根据第七段中的“I don’t think we really talk that much about how we improve people’s lives through STEM”可知, 我们并没有过多地谈论如何通过科技来改善人们的生活, 也就是说科技相关职业与人们生活改善之间的关系并没有得到充分的解释。
(4)根据第五段中的“One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel ‘Immediately that was the career for me, ’she said. ”可知, 一个飞行员带她兜风的经历让她决定从事飞行职业, 这次飞行经历引起了她对这个职业的兴趣, 故D项正确。
