【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在柏林动物园教英语的工作。

2.confident [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处和前文的comfortable并列作表语,应用形容词形式。故填confident。]
3.to/with [考查介词。根据下文中的“Not the pandas...They talk to the flood of international tourists”可知,此处的意思是“他们和谁说英语呢?”。故填to/with。]

5.visiting [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空后是名词,所以空处作前置定语;visit与Chinese zookeepers之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词。visiting,意为“来访的”。故填visiting。]

8.Basically [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后整个句子,应该用副词修饰。位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Basically。]
9.and [考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知,“to watch the panda programme develop”和“to see the pandas settle into their new home”是并列关系,应该用and连接。故填and。]
10.wished [考查时态。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语动词,所以wish作本句的谓语,和主语I之间是主动关系,根据后文的grew可知用一般过去时。故填wished。]

【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The topic “slash youth”,referring to those refusing to be defined or 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 youth stories online,presenting themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities,such as a nurse and model,a teacher 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 about 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 City,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 media and finance.Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm,even after entering the workplace.
Others’ reaction showed the gap between the young and former generations.“My parents used to say,‘music cannot earn you 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,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(活在当下) philosophy and create their own identities.”
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了近年来在中国的年轻人中兴起的“斜杠生活”。
1.What are “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.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章首句可知,“斜杠青年”更可能从事多种职业。
√
2.What did Wei Heng and Tang Yuhan do to pursue their musical career
A.They sent their stories online to gain more funds.
B.They shared similar interests in both their hobbies and jobs.
C.They never lost passion for music even if they had to quit college.
D.They stuck with their dream despite the older generation’s opinion.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,二人都不顾老一辈人的反对坚持自己的音乐梦想。
√
3.What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A.To provide career guidance.
B.To analyze a cultural difference.
C.To conclude from the phenomenon.
D.To share a unique life experience.
解析 写作意图题。文章最后一段分析了“斜杠生活”的兴起背后的经济和社会原因,由此可推知,最后一段的目的是从现象中得出结论。
√
4.What is the main idea of the text
A.Xing Eryang founded the Douban topic“slash life”.
B.Young people prefer“slash life” to their real lives.
C.China’s economy develops fast due to “slash life”.
D.“Slash life” trend allows workers to chase their dreams.
解析 文章大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段的总结升华可知,文章主要介绍了中国的年轻人所追求的“斜杠生活”,这种趋势让职场人仍可以追逐他们的梦想。

B
“When I grow up,I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about,or been asked to think about our future careers.Our answers may differ greatly.Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However,it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste.In a survey carried out by teens,doctors,lawyers,and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow.This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the U.K.in May 2011 by job website monster.co.uk,in which medicine was the top choice among U.K.teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions.Their prestige(威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society,and they make good money.Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices.Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in.Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career.British young men list the U.K.tycoon Alan Sugar,Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”.Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.
However,not every child has the makings of doctor,lawyer,or banker.They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas,and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options.As the Teens’ survey discovered,a variety of unconventional jobs—coffee shop owner,gourmet(美食家),waiter at a fast food restaurant—are among teenagers’ career choices.They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge,and all career paths require specific education and training,so you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章通过对青少年调查发现他们最喜欢的职业是医生,律师和银行家,但也有少数人愿意踏上更多彩的道路。
5.What is the passage mainly about
A.Choosing a good job is very important.
B.Careers in teenagers’ mind.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
解析 文章大意题。根据第一、二段中的“When I grow up,I want to be...”和“Almost all of us have thought about,or been asked to think about our future careers.”可知,文章主要讲的是青少年心中的职业。
√
6.According to the passage,all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor EXCEPT ________.
A.respect from others
B.upward social mobility
C.high pay
D.the oldest profession
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知A项“respect from others”、B项“upward social mobility”、C项“high pay”均符合当医生的好处。而D项“the oldest profession”最古老的职业文中未提及。
√
7.What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career
A.Prestige. B.Fulfillment.
C.Happiness. D.Wealth.
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career.”可知,青少年越来越认为成功职业最重要的指标之一是财富。
√
8.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.According to your particular talents and skills,you can choose your favorite career.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Whatever career you choose,you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
D.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,无论选择哪种职业,都应在乐观和自信与实事求是地看待自己的才能和技能之间取得平衡。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
Some people believe that a career change at 50 is impossible because no one wants to invest in someone so old.__1__ The key is that you should try your best to grasp the opportunity.
What is the secret?__2__ For 15 years,I had the same job.I enjoyed the work itself,but grew tired of management of the company.The inflexibility of the work affected my work-life balance.With my 52nd birthday approaching,I realized I would have to make a career change.
Two months later,my wife spotted an occupation online.So,I applied.__3__ However,I was surprised to get an online interview.The interview went well,and they told me I’d hear from them the next week if I passed it.So when three weeks passed with no word,you can imagine how frustrated I felt.I carried on looking for other chances,but one afternoon the company’s HR phoned me for a second interview! __4__ Then my wife suggested that I show my true self in the interview.I got her point.I answered their questions as best as I could,and eventually I got the job!
It’s proved that companies do invest in people over 50.I’ve realized career changes are more common than I first thought.__5__ With the right attitude,you can achieve almost anything and get what you want if you have a try.
A.It is the right attitude that works.
B.I was happy,and I got well prepared.
C.However,I’ve got a career change easily.
D.I was shocked,and I began to feel anxious.
E.However,I’ve achieved a career change unexpectedly.
F.Lacking experience in that particular role,I was pessimistic.
G.I hope that anyone attempting a career change can try something bravely!
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在50岁成功转行的个人经历。
1.E [根据本空上一句和下一句可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出作者自己实现了职业转变,后文提到了转变的关键。故E项“然而,我出乎意料地实现了职业转变”符合语境。]
2.A [根据本段可知,本句应回答上文提到的秘诀是什么的问题,故A项“正确的态度才会起作用”符合语境。全文最后一句直接提示了答案。]
3.F [根据下文中的“However”可知,上下文之间有转折关系,F项“由于缺乏担任这一角色的经验,我很悲观”表达了自己的悲观,与下文的成功得到面试机会构成转折关系,符合上下文,语意连贯。]
4.D [根据上两句和后两句可知,本句应承接上文说明作者接到电话通知二轮面试后的内心活动,故D项“我很震惊,我开始感到焦虑”符合语境。]
5.G [根据前两句和后一句可知,作者在50岁时实现了转行,所以建议其他人也进行尝试,G项中的“try”对应后文中的“have a try”。故G项“我希望任何想转行的人都能勇敢地尝试一下!”符合语境。]

UNIT 5 LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For some,working from home is a gift—a wonderful opportunity to focus and be productive,all the while finding time to walk the dog and even exercise in pyjamas(睡衣).For others,well,the change isn’t quite as seamless.Some find all they’ve done with their eight hours is answer two emails,dream about a massage or discover their “cheese hour”.
It’s true:some people can simply better adjust to the new world of remote work than others.However,it’s not so black and white.You’re not necessarily born to be good or bad at working remotely—some may just have to put in more effort than others.
If it feels easier to procrastinate(拖延) at home than in the office,it is for most:telework is a “weak situation” with lower expectations about behaviour,says Timothy Pychyl,associate psychology professor at Carleton University.On the contrary,he points to a common situation:“In an elevator,we all typically ‘act elevator’,for example,avoiding eye contact with others,and keeping our distance as much as possible.The office is more of a strong situation with expectations for many things such as dress codes,arrival and departure times and time spent on or off task.”
And without the strong situation of an office,it’s quite a bit easier to refuse unpleasant tasks.When there’s a task on your plate you don’t want to dive into,or you’re banging your head against a wall with a tech problem,you’re testing your “frustration tolerance(挫折耐受力)”,says Pychyl.Those who have a lower frustration tolerance are much more likely to procrastinate—they’re the people who get up from their desk and find a distraction(使人分心的事).
One problem that people working from home are experiencing at the moment—both skilled remote workers and those new to telework—is a lack of boundaries(界限).You’ll be surrounded by endless chores.Your kitchen table might be both your desk and where you prepare dinner.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。本文讲述很多人在家工作,但是在家工作意味着面临很多的挑战。
1.What does the underlined word “seamless” in the first paragraph mean
A.Smooth. B.Difficult.
C.Necessary. D.Flexible.
解析 词义猜测题。上文说明有些人可以很轻松地适应在家工作的转变,由“For others”可知,下文与上文是相对的,因此推断画线词所在句句意:而对另外一些人而言,这一转变却没有那么顺利。画线词与A项“顺利的”意思相近。
√
2.What does the author want to show by mentioning an elevator
A.We can influence the surroundings.
B.We are surrounded by expectations.
C.People behave well in strong situations.
D.People procrastinate in weak situations.
解析 写作意图题。根据第三段可知,作者认为电梯里是一种“强环境”,在这种情况下,我们会因为受到周围环境的制约而遵守各种规则,表现良好,办公场所也是如此。因此推断,通过提到电梯作者想要表达人们在强环境下举止良好。
√
3.What do we learn about people with a low frustration tolerance
A.They avoid tech problems.
B.They like challenging tasks.
C.They get jobs done quickly.
D.They tend to put off things.
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,低挫折耐受力的人常常会拖延。
√
4.What does working from home mean according to the last paragraph
A.Better conditions. B.More distractions.
C.Lighter workload. D.Higher productivity.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在家工作意味着工作与家庭生活之间界限的丧失,你的餐桌可能既是你的办公桌,也是你准备晚餐的地方。这自然也意味着更多的让人分心的事。
√
B
From the age of five,Alison Mbekeani,now in Durham University for her PhD,dreamed of becoming a scientist.But becoming a mother to two children put a brake on her career.She does not expect to return to the lab until her children are 16.Dr.Mbekeani is not alone.One survey in 2019 found that child-care responsibilities led 29% of mothers with a child under 14 to reduce their working hours,compared with just 5% of fathers.
In an ideal world,the government would not have to worry about any of this.Based on their preferences,parents would make a judgment over whether to outsource(外包) child-care or keep it in-house.The question for policymakers is whether parental behavior reflects actual preferences or it is driven by constraints(限制).
Constraints are an issue.Three in five nonworking mothers say that they would prefer to work,given the right child-care.Families had to fork out an average of £260 a week in 2021 for 50 hours of nursery care for a child under two.A tenth of households with a child under five report difficulty meeting such costs.As well as price,availability is a problem.Just 68% of local authorities in England report having enough child-care provision(供应) to serve parents who work full time.
Besides child-care,the benefits that could flow from evening out the gender(性别) imbalance in child-care could also be pretty large.One recent study estimated the gains from shuffling men and women according to ability,pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out.Astonishingly,it was calculated that Britain’s average output per worker could be as much as 30% higher.
Cheaper child-care and gender-balanced responsibility in it are ways out to help mums into work,but policies would need to be designed to target really constrained parents.However,experts also add that giving children the best start in life means shorter,structured days full of interaction.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章分析了妈妈们回归职场困难的原因,说明了如何帮助照顾孩子的妈妈们回归职场。
5.Why is the story of Alison mentioned
A.To confirm an idea.
B.To develop the plot.
C.To draw a conclusion.
D.To introduce the topic.
解析 写作意图题。根据第一段的“Dr Mbekeani is not alone.”并结合下文内容可知,第一段通过Alison的故事,引出本文话题:如何照顾孩子以帮助妈妈重回职场。
√
6.What is the government’s key focus about child-care problem
A.The influence of parents’ final decision.
B.The difference of children’s preference.
C.The balance of responsibility to do housework.
D.The consistency of parental behavior and actual liking.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段末句可知,政府需要关注的是父母的养育行为是否真正反映了他们真实的偏好。
√
7.What does the underlined word “shuffling” mean in paragraph 4
A.Observing. B.Describing.
C.Rearranging. D.Protecting.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out”可知,“将有效率的女性纳入职场,并将没有效率的男性开除”是对画线词的解释,故可推知画线词表示“重新安排”。
√
8.Which is a suggested solution to helping mums into work
A.Reducing child-care fees.
B.Strengthening children’s responsibility.
C.Shortening children’s structured days.
D.Offering the best life start to children.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段首句可知,帮助妈妈们进入职场的建议解决方案之一是降低育儿费用。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In the digital age,opportunities are arising for everyone.However,only those putting plans into action can stay ahead.Alexandr Wang is one such example.
Los Alamos National Laboratory was where Alexandr spent his childhood. Both his parents were physicists there.Alexandr,from a young age,had a sharp mind.As a kid,he was regarded as a math wizard(奇才) and competed in national math and computer competitions.Finishing high school,Alexandr entered MIT where machine learning and AI amazed him.He saw the potential(潜力) of AI,and was excited about how it could change the world.But it wasn’t making a real impact.His ambition to set up an enterprise committed to that was seeded then.
At 17,he got the role of tech lead at Quora and dropped out of MIT.“I told my parents it was just going to be a thing I did for the summer.Obviously,it wasn’t,” Alexandr said.Surely,his parents were disappointed.They all knew he made that change filled with unexpected risks.But Alexandr said,“If you aren’t willing to take a risk now,then when?” Alexandr met Lucy Guo at Quora,with whom Alexandr founded Scale AI,which turned out to be a considerable success.
In fact,at that time,there were various opportunities in the tech world.It was hard to decide which road they should go down.Then he and his team decided to take a different approach—instead of following diverse paths,they agreed to focus on one.They went with“imagery,computer vision and other kinds of sensor data”.And that is what made the company’s profits rise quickly.Scale AI has a net worth of about $7.3 billion at present,with Alexandr being the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
When asked lessons he’d like to share with founders,Alexandr stated there are a number of things.“The top one is always doing things that go with your values and how you want to build a company at the beginning.When you talk to investors(投资者) they’ll contribute advice that may go against your goal.Figure out your focus and what gets you started.”
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章叙述了Alexandr Wang创建了Scale AI公司,成为全球最年轻的白手起家的亿万富翁的故事。
1.What inspired Alexandr to build Scale AI
A.The work at Quora.
B.His experiences at university.
C.The influence of his parents.

解析 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“It was hard to decide which road...decided to take a different approach...And that is what made the company’s profits rise quickly.”可知,第四段主要介绍了Scale AI成功的关键——选择了正确的发展道路。

3.What did Alexandr advise founders to do
A.Stick to one particular direction.
B.Keep an open mind on suggestions.
C.Remain true to the original aim.
D.Find a friend to start a company.

If you’re currently studying in senior high school,chances are that you’ve started thinking about what your career options might be for the future.__1__

Start with an Aptitude (能力) Test
__2__ Other people find reading,writing and learning languages easy.Taking an aptitude test,also known as a career test or career quiz,will help you determine where your study skills will help you best.

List Jobs That Interest You
Write a list of jobs that interest you.__5__ Be realistic,based on where you live and what your finances are.For example,if you want to start a restaurant,you’ll need hundreds of thousands of dollars.Working in a restaurant as a prep cook or taking cooking classes will help you see what the restaurant business is like and whether or not it might be right for you.
