Dear Ms. Smith,
I am writing to apply for the Sales Manager position on the career page of the King Computers website. Last year King Computers added five new offices, making it the largest computer sales and services company in the state. I understand that one of the company’s aims is to expand outside of the Washington area. I am seeking the opportunity to play an important role in your growing business. As a sales manager for Diamond Computers, I expanded our sales area by 150% in two years. I am confident that my leadership and experience will help King Computers achieve its goals, too.
I have worked in the field of computer sales for over fifteen years. Currently I am a sales manager for Diamond Computers based in Seattle. I am skilled at managing accounts and increasing sales revenue (收益). Last year, my team produced $960,000 in revenue—the highest in the company. Also, I received the Diamond Sales Award as the best sales manager. In addition, I am experienced in planning sales strategies, launching advertising campaigns, and creating sales budgets.
King Computers is well known for its customer first philosophy. In my fifteen years in sales, this way of thinking is the most important thing I have learned. A sales strategy should never be just about getting money from customers. I believe it’s important to take time to listen to each customer—to understand what he or she really needs. Then, we must find the product that best matches those needs. As a sales manager for King Computers, I will be in a great position to do just that.
If you are looking for a skilled sales manager with a history of success, I would be delighted to speak with you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Paul Reubens

The topic the “slash(斜杠) youth”, referring to those refusing to be defined or be bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple careers, has fueled heated debate on social media. On Douban, a Chinese social networking platform, the topic has attracted about 11,000 posts and has been viewed over 400 million times. China’s young people are keen to share their “slash life” stories online, presenting themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a lawyer and model, an accountant and stand up comedian, and an engineer and musician.
Xing Eryang, a 31 year old female resident in Beijing, founded the Douban topic in 2021.While staying diligent in her daytime work, she is developing her hobbies, including stand up comedy and vlogging, into secondary careers during her spare time. And she is amazed to find her “slash life” philosophy followed by so many of her peers.
Wei Heng, a 26 year old woman in Guangzhou, and Tang Yuhan, a 27 year old man in Xuancheng, Anhui province, are both participants in the topic, with their stories earning thousands of likes so far. The two are both musicians in their spare time, even though they are thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in the media and finance. Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm, even after entering the workplace.
Their reaction shows the gap between the young and former generations. “My parents used to say that music cannot earn me money. So the band thing was regarded as a waste of time. However, we want to pursue whatever we love and are willing to pay for it,” says Wei Heng.
“The ‘slash life’ mania(狂热)shows that, along with China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive(包容广阔的), and it welcomes everyone’s self fulfillment,” says Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self worth. They tend to practice a carpe diem(把握现在)philosophy and create their own identities.”
4.What are the “slash youth” more likely to do
A.Create a topic on Douban. B.Take diverse occupations.
C.Become a stand up comedian. D.Share their own stories online.
5.Which of the following amazes Xing Eryang
A.Other young people’s positive response. B.Hobbies are developed during work.
C.The growing social networking platform. D.Thousands of likes earned on Douban.
6.What did Wei Heng and Tang Yuhan do to pursue their music dream
A.They posted their stories online to gain more funds.
B.They shared similar interests in both their hobbies and jobs.
C.They never lost the passion for music even if they had to quit college.
D.They stuck with their dream despite the older generation’s opinion.
7.According to Shi Yanrong, what is our society’s attitude to the “slash life”
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Unfavorable. D.Indifferent.

How to choose a college major and develop a career plan
Going to college can seem daunting (使人畏惧的), and no small part of that is the prospect of having to choose a major, which will set the course for your career life. Here are some steps that might help make your decision easier.
Step 1: Consider your interests and passions.
Do you want a career where you’ll be able to express yourself, or work with numbers 1 The average person will spend nearly 100,000 hours working in their profession before retirement. Make sure that time will be spent doing something you enjoy!
Step 2: Consider how long you want to be in school.
If you’re pursuing a career in professional fields like medicine or law, you may require more than a four year degree to get the job that you want. 2 Will you want to jump right into a job after you graduate, or do you really want to dive into higher education These are important when you decide what major is the best fit for you.
Step 3: Research prospective careers.
If you think you have a career in mind, do some investigation in person or online. Try connecting with people in the field and ask them what challenges they faced in getting their degrees and finding jobs afterwards. 3 Their journeys to success might surprise you!
Step 4: 4
Remember, you don’t have to make this decision right away. Taking basic level courses when you first get to college helps decide your level of interest in pursuing a degree program. Plus, you could always decide to choose an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) studies major! 5 Thus, you can discover where your interests lie, and have classes related to the career that you want.
A.Give yourself enough time to decide.
B.Think about what you like to do in high school.
C.What if your major conflicts with your parents’ expectations
D.Are you passionate about justice, or do you want to have a career focusing on helping people
E.If you can’t connect in person, try to find role models online and read about their histories.
F.This degree program gives you the freedom and flexibility to take a wide variety of classes.
G.Moreover, there are some careers where a master’s degree won’t necessarily be helpful.

答案与分层梯度式解析
UNIT 5 LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER
Part 1 Reading and Thinking
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.in 考查介词。in debt为固定短语,意为“欠债”。句意:由于失业了四年,杰克负债累累。
2.on 考查介词。be based on...意为“以……为基础”,故填on。句意:我的选择是基于我想要的生活方式。
3.participants 考查名词复数。设空处为句子的主语,意为“参赛者,参与者”,应用participate的名词形式participant,又因前面有All修饰,故填复数形式participants。句意:所有烹饪比赛的参赛者将被给予像平底锅和烤架之类的东西作为纪念品。
4.accountant 考查名词。由空前的冠词a和trained可知设空处应用名词,应将名词account“账户”变为名词accountant“会计师”。句意:广告称,这个职位需要一名受过培训的会计师。
5.detective 考查名词。设空处后面为谓语can find,所以设空处为主语,意为“侦探”,故填detect的名词形式detective。句意:有了这种先进的设备,侦探不打开它们就可以检测到可疑的包裹。
6.to cure 考查不定式。be used to do sth.表示“被用来做某事”,故填to cure。句意:虽然镭是一种放射性元素,但它可以用来治疗癌症。
7.spied 考查动词时态。句意:黑客创建了暗中监视用户或未经允许获取手机信息的应用程序。分析句意和句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,指代先行词applications,关系词在从句中作主语,设空处是定语从句中的谓语。定语从句中连词or连接两个并列的谓语,根据第二个谓语accessed的时态可知设空处也要用一般过去时,故填spied。spy on意为“暗中监视”。
8.to come 考查不定式。动词不定式作定语修饰years,in years to come意为“在未来几年中”。句意:虽然他这次失败了,但他发誓在未来几年中他要创办自己的公司。
9.that 考查同位语从句。句意:当局不同意残疾人不适宜教学的观点。设空处后面的部分解释说明了view的具体内容,且语义完整,不缺成分,所以设空处引导同位语从句,故填that。
Ⅱ.1.is suited to 2.head start 3.a variety of
4.bouncing around 5.is passionate about
Ⅲ.1.That is why 2.Not everything that we see 3.In conclusion;it is important to find 4.she could go back to
5.When struggling to pick up
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.are asked 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:成年人在第一次见面时被问及彼此的工作很常见。 adults与ask之间是被动关系,此处需用被动语态,由语境可知这里为一般性描述,应用一般现在时,主语为复数,故填are asked。
2.truly 考查副词。设空处修饰形容词necessary,需用副词truly。
3.on/upon 考查介词。 decide on/upon意为“决定;选定”。句意:也许决定你将来从事什么职业是很难的。
4.bouncing 考查现在分词。句意:有些人确信自己想做什么,但是其他许多人只是有一些在脑子里晃来晃去的想法。yet后的分句已有谓语,故设空处应填非谓语动词,结合语境可知,设空处应作定语修饰thoughts,thoughts与动词bounce之间为主动关系,需用现在分词bouncing。
5.effective 考查形容词。根据设空处前面的the most和后面的名词ways可知,此处需用形容词,故填effective。
6.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空格前的内容意思完整,空格后的内容缺少results的定语,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作定语,故填whose,此处表示“测试的结果”。句意:了解可能的职业道路最有效的方法之一就是完成“职业能力倾向测验”,测验结果会告诉你你的优势和兴趣。
7.participants 考查名词复数。句意:有各种各样的职业能力倾向测验,其中一个受欢迎的测验要求参与者对他们对各种工作任务的偏好进行打分。此处参与者不止一个人,需用名词复数,故填participants。
8.conclusion 考查名词。in conclusion意为“总之,综上所述”,为固定短语。
9.a 考查冠词。句意:总之,职业能力倾向测验显然是一个有用的工具,它们可以用于指导。根据句意可知,此处表示泛指,故用不定冠词,又因为useful的发音以辅音音素开头,所以填a。
易错归因 本题容易误填an,因为useful以元音字母u开头,但我们需要注意的是,确定填a或an的标准是后面单词的发音以元音音素开头还是辅音音素开头,而不是单词以元音字母开头还是辅音字母开头。
类比启发 类似useful以元音字母开头,发音却以辅音音素开头的单词还有unit、university、uniform、usual、Europe、one等。
10.is 考查主谓一致和时态。句意:然而,好的职业的真正秘诀是找到你热爱的事情。设空处为谓语,根据全文语境可知设空处用一般现在时,主语“the real secret”为单数,故填is。
Ⅱ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章是以求职信的形式呈现的。Paul Reubens想要申请一家计算机公司的销售经理一职,在信中阐述了自己的工作经历、任职能力、对该公司的了解和想要得到这份工作的愿望。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I understand that one of the company’s aims is to expand outside of the Washington area.”可知,这家公司的目标之一是向华盛顿以外的地区进行业务拓展。C项“让它的业务规模更大”符合题意,故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“King Computers is well known for its customer first philosophy.”以及“I believe it’s important to take time to listen to each customer—to understand what he or she really needs.”可知,该公司是以客户至上的理念而闻名,Paul Reubens赞同这一观点,并认为合格的销售经理也应该把顾客的需求放在第一位,去倾听他们的诉求。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I am writing to apply for the Sales Manager position”和第三段中的“As a sales manager for King Computers, I will be in a great position to do just that.”可知,Paul Reubens写信的目的是想求职,因此他会展示自己的优势来证明自己能够胜任这份销售经理的工作,故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.apply for申请 2.expand v.扩展,发展(业务) 3.be experienced in...在……方面有经验
4.campaign n.活动;运动 5.budget n.预算
长难句
原句 I believe it’s important to take time to listen to each customer—to understand what he or she really needs.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。believe后面是省略that的宾语从句,“it’s important to...”中it作形式主语,动词不定式短语作真正的主语。破折号后的“to understand...”对“to listen to each customer”起解释说明的作用。what引导宾语从句,作understand的宾语。
译文 我认为花时间倾听每个客户是很重要的——了解他或她真正需要什么。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种新的社会现象,中国许多年轻人追求“斜杠生活”,成为“斜杠青年”。他们是拒绝被一个身份定义或约束,选择从事多种职业的人。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“China’s young people are keen to...and an engineer and musician.(中国的年轻人热衷于在网上分享他们的‘斜杠生活’的故事,让自己展现出多重身份,有时甚至是截然不同的身份,比如律师兼模特,会计师兼单口相声演员,以及工程师兼音乐家。)”可知,“斜杠青年”更可能从事多种职业,故选B。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“And she is amazed to find her ‘slash life’ philosophy followed by so many of her peers.(她惊讶地发现,她的‘斜杠生活’哲学被如此多的同龄人遵循。)”可知,年轻人对“斜杠生活”的积极反应让她感到惊讶。故选A。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their passion for music...the workplace.(从大学开始,他们对音乐的热情就不断增长,即使在进入职场之后,他们也没有放弃自己的热情。)”和第四段内容(他们的反应显示了年轻一代和前辈之间的代沟。魏恒说:“我父母过去常说音乐赚不到钱。所以乐队的事情被认为是浪费时间。然而,我们想追求我们所爱的一切,并愿意为此付出代价。”)可知,虽然父母不看好音乐,但魏恒和唐雨涵不顾老一辈人的意见,坚持自己的梦想。故选D。
7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self fulfillment(我们的社会正变得越来越多元化和具有包容性,它欢迎每个人实现自我)”可推知,史艳荣认为我们的社会具有多元化和包容性,对“斜杠生活”的态度是支持的,故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.refer to 指的是 2.identity n.身份
3.debate n.讨论 4.be keen to do sth.热衷于做某事
5.distinct adj.截然不同的 6.abandon vt.放弃 7.used to do...过去常常做…… 8.be regarded as...被视为……
9.rely on依靠 10.tend v.往往会,倾向于
【熟词生义】 fuel v.增强,刺激
【差距词汇】 1.stand up adj.单口的,单人表演的
2.diligent adj.勤奋的
长难句
原句 The topic the “slash youth”, referring to those refusing to be defined or be bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple careers, has fueled heated debate on social media.
分析 该句是一个简单句。主语是The topic the “slash youth”,谓语是 has fueled。referring to those...careers是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的the“slash youth”;refusing to...和choosing to...是并列的现在分词短语,作定语修饰前面的代词those。
译文 “斜杠青年”指的是那些拒绝被一种个人身份定义或约束并选择从事多种职业的人,这个话题在社交媒体上引发了激烈的讨论。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在选择大学专业时如何与未来的职业规划相关联。
1.D 细节句。根据该段标题“Step 1: Consider your interests and passions.”可知选专业要考虑兴趣和你酷爱的东西。设空处上文是问句的形式,且want照应了标题中的“interests and passions”;结合选项可知,D项也是问句的形式,与上文并列,且D项中的“passionate”和“want”也照应了标题中的“interests and passions”,符合语境,故选D。
易错归因 本题易误选B项,原因是受B项中“what you like to do”的影响,但考生需要注意后面的状语“in high school”,这篇文章讲的是在大学选择专业的问题,“in high school”显然在时间上不符合要求。
2.G 细节句。设空处上文指出一些职业需要的不只是一个四年时间的学位,G选项提出,对于一些职业来说,硕士学位都不一定有帮助,与上文构成递进关系,故选G。
3.E 细节句。上文谈到,如果你认为自己有心仪的职业,可以亲自或在网上做一些调查。试着与该领域的人联系,问问他们在获得学位和之后找工作时遇到了什么挑战。E项“如果你不能亲自交流,设法在网上找到榜样,阅读他们的经历。”与上文在句式和内容上相呼应,符合语境,故选E。
4.A 主旨句。本段首句提到你不必马上做出这个决定。下文讲到的“刚进入大学时,学习基础课程”以及“选择跨学科研究专业”都围绕“你不必马上做出这个决定”展开。设空处为本段的标题,结合选项可知,A项“给你自己足够的时间做决定。”能够概括本段主旨,故选A。
5.F 细节句。设空处上一句提到跨学科研究专业,F项“这个学位课程给你上各种各样的课的自由和灵活性。”说明跨学科研究专业的特点,承接上文,同时与下文中的“discover where your interests lie”相互照应,故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.prospect n.可能性;前景;展望
2.passion n.酷爱(的事物);热情 3.pursue vt.追求
4.be passionate about对……有热情 5.focus on 集中(注意力、精力等)于
长难句
原句 Going to college can seem daunting, and no small part of that is the prospect of having to choose a major, which will set the course for your career life.
分析 这是一个并列复合句。and 连接两个并列分句,第一个分句中Going to college为动名词短语作主语,第二个分句中which引导非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语。
译文 上大学似乎令人生畏,这种畏惧很大程度上可能是因为必须选择一个专业,这个专业将为你的职业生涯确定方向。
