本文的语篇类型是论说文。文章为“总—分—总”结构，此类结构的论说文一般会在第一段开门见山地提出论点，但本文第一段是引论，第二段提出论点，然后以两位著名作家为例进行论证说明。最后一段做出总结，重申论点，指出成功的道路各不相同，对未来的规划也不一定变成现实，但只要心怀理想、充满斗志，就会拥有成功的人生。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．In the face of such questions, how should we approach the future
赏析：本句中使用了介词短语In the face of ...作状语，相当于状语从句When/If we face such questions，简化了句式结构，使表达更简洁、高效。
2．Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life, their careers unfolded in contrasting ways.
赏析：本句中动词unfold的使用给表达增添了活力和动态感。此处unfold意为“发展”，除此之外，它还可以表示“打开；展示；透露；(使)逐渐展现”等。
3．By contrast, the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally worked as a doctor.
赏析：此处使用了By contrast “相比之下”，笔锋一转，引出下文，将柯南·道尔的人生规划与海明威的进行比较。
4．So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter, take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.
赏析：本句中运用习语“take a leaf out of the books”形象地表达出作者的观点：不管未来遇到什么困难，参照一下这两位作家的人生发展历程。“take a leaf out of someone's book (从某人的书中取出一页)”含义是“效仿某人的成功案例，以某人为榜样”。使用习语可以使表达更高级，语言更生动形象。

2．Though both of these men were ultimately successful, their paths to success were very different, their futures not necessarily turning out exactly as they planned.
赏析：本句中运用Though 引导的让步状语从句，强调了主句要传达的意思，同时独立主格结构their futures ...planned又进一步说明不但他们的成功之路截然不同，他们的未来也不一定完全如他们当初所计划的那样。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I've had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media) and how I achieved it.He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously and be fluent in Japanese.
Though I haven't entirely reached my long-term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he's seen that I've made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.
We had a nice chat for an hour and a half on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat.A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory and sent me clips of him studying
Japanese. He's posting regularly on social media about all the progress he's making.He's motivated and doing great!
At last I'll have to remind him that progress isn't linear (线性的) and that he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I'm letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.
I'm grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I'm grateful to see that he's investing the time and money to promote his life.He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.
Even if you're still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you've come.It's extremely joyful to be aware how far you've come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的故事讲述了一个道理：只要你目标明确、努力进取，即使你还没有达到自己的目标，但你已经比自己以为的走得更远了。
1．Why did the author's friend contact him
A．To thank him for the advice on success.
B．To consult him about some proposals.
C．To ask for advice on how to get in shape.
D．To require him to share his success on social media.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段及第二段的内容可知，作者的朋友联系他是为了向他寻求建议。
√
√
2．What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Get over. B．Apply for.
C．Focus on. D．Relate to.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road”和“when that time comes”可知，此处是指帮助他克服遇到的挑战，所以tackle意为“克服”。
√
3．Which of the following can best describe the author's friend
A．Caring and outgoing.
B．Responsible and wise.
C．Purposeful and active.
D．Motivated and humorous.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第三段的内容可知，作者的朋友是一个目标明确、积极主动的人。
√
4．What does the author mainly express in the last paragraph
A．You should make use of your advantages.
B．You should take pride in what others achieve.
C．You've come a lot further than you realize.
D．You should turn to others when you feel confused.
解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段，特别是最后一句可知，该段中作者主要是讲你远比你意识到的走得更远。
B
There is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job.Society may pressure you into grabbing whatever you can get.If you do not have a set path that must be taken, then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing, but enjoy.
One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.It may seem obvious that the creative type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher (屠夫) or dry cleaning assistant, and that a weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.
To find the best job for your personality type, the first step is to know what and who you really are.If you already know your style, you can search for suitable employment; however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are.For example, an employment centre, a career adviser or an online quiz can help you.
Taking my own situation for example, I am definitely a creative type.Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire.I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do.I do not relate well to regular nine-to-five pattern.I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job.I feel much happier at bining my creativity, independence, and desire to stay at home, my ideal career would be running a home-operated business involving creativity.I actually happen to have chosen this solution; I am a writer, poet, author and publisher.I have suited my career to my personality type.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了要找到适合的工作，首先要了解自己的性格特点。
5．The first paragraph is used as a(n) .
A．example B．introduction
C．conclusion D．contrast
解析：推理判断题。第一段通过介绍选择一份不适合自己的工作所带来的缺点引出下文的话题“One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.”，因此第一段主要是用来引入话题的。
√
√
6．The author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about .
A．something about employment centre
B．online job markets
C．our personality types
D．the economic situation
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知，要找到合适的工作，首先要了解自己的性格类型。
√
7．Which of the following statements about the author is true
A．He prefers to rely on his colleagues.
B．He dislikes home-operated businesses.
C．He likes giving orders to others and doesn't like facing orders.
D．He doesn't like the usual way of doing things.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I do not like telling people what to do ...a high wage for a bad job.”可知，作者不喜欢通常的做事方式。
√
8．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Creativity and chances of success.
B．Jobs and your peace of mind.
C．Following the set path and making life easier.
D．Finding the right job for your personality type.
解析：主旨大意题。综合全文可知，文章主要说明了要找到适合的工作，首先要了解自己的性格特点。

Tips for finding your life purpose
What does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and fulfill it？ 9 .Here is what I have learned so far along the way.
Play to your strengths
We are not capable of being all things to all people. 10 .Develop your natural talents into skills by studying, exercising and practicing those talents.There is nothing wrong with trying to learn new things, but the likelihood is that you were born with the abilities needed to fulfill your life purpose.
11
For whatever reason, we all feel enthusiastic about certain things in life.In order to live your life with purpose, you must become completely immersed in whatever it is, which means it must be something you are highly interested in.Otherwise, it will be impossible to perform at the highest level.
Focus on what you can control
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much your actions may be based on intended or expected outcomes, you absolutely cannot control the results of your actions.The path to living with purpose is paved with good intentions and continual self-improvement. 12 ， which means cultivating your mind, body and spirit to achieve your greatest potential and always acting with the best of intentions.
Embrace your creativity
We are all capable of producing something both original and of value to the world.Those two components — originality and value — make up the definition of creativity. 13 ， and you will view the world and know the value your perspective can add.Of course, when you focus on cultivating your talents and immerse yourself in what you are passionate about, creativity comes easily.
A．Dig into the unique vision
B．Pursue your inner passions
C．Figure out your potential talent
D．It has been a long journey getting to this point
E．Put forth our best efforts to fulfill the ultimate goal
F．You were born with certain natural talents and abilities — use them
G．Living your life with purpose will undoubtedly bring a sense of fulfillment
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了一些关于寻找人生目标的建议。
9．选D 前文提出两个问题，涉及人生目标的意义及追寻和实现人生目标的方法，后文开始分享这两个问题的解答。因此D项“It has been a long journey getting to this point ”符合语境，指出追寻和实现人生目标是一段漫长的旅程，承上启下，其中的this point指代上文的one find and fulfill it。
10．选F 本段标题“Play to your strengths ”表明本段和个人优势相关，后文建议发挥个人的天赋。因此F项“You were born with certain natural talents and abilities — use them”符合语境，提到人天生就有独特的天赋和能力，呼应本段标题，引出后文，其中的natural talents在后文有同词复现。
11．选B 空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文可知，本段与发现激情所在，做自己感兴趣的事情相关。因此B项“Pursue your inner passions”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的passions和后文的enthusiastic呼应。
12．选E 后文对某一行为作解释，强调身心和精神层面的发展以及以最好的意图行动，因此E项“Put forth our best efforts to fulfill the ultimate goal”符合语境，建议全力以赴去实现最终目标，后文则是对其解释。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I've had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media) and how I achieved it.He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously and be fluent in Japanese.
Though I haven't entirely reached my long term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he's seen that I've made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.
We had a nice chat for an hour and a half on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat.A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory and sent me clips of him studying Japanese.He's posting regularly on social media about all the progress he's making.He's motivated and doing great!
At last I'll have to remind him that progress isn't linear (线性的) and that he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I'm letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.
I'm grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I'm grateful to see that he's investing the time and money to promote his life.He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.
Even if you're still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you've come.It's extremely joyful to be aware how far you've come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.
1．Why did the author's friend contact him
A．To thank him for the advice on success.
B．To consult him about some proposals.
C．To ask for advice on how to get in shape.
D．To require him to share his success on social media.
2．What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 probably mean

3．Which of the following can best describe the author's friend
A．Caring and outgoing.
B．Responsible and wise.
C．Purposeful and active.

C．You've come a lot further than you realize.
D．You should turn to others when you feel confused.
B
There is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job.Society may pressure you into grabbing whatever you can get.If you do not have a set path that must be taken, then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing, but enjoy.
One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.It may seem obvious that the creative type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher (屠夫) or dry cleaning assistant, and that a weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.
To find the best job for your personality type, the first step is to know what and who you really are.If you already know your style, you can search for suitable employment; however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are.For example, an employment centre, a career adviser or an online quiz can help you.
Taking my own situation for example, I am definitely a creative type.Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire.I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do.I do not relate well to regular nine to five pattern.I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job.I feel much happier at bining my creativity, independence, and desire to stay at home, my ideal career would be running a home operated business involving creativity.I actually happen to have chosen this solution; I am a writer, poet, author and publisher.I have suited my career to my personality type.
5．The first paragraph is used as a(n) ________.
A．example B.introduction
C．conclusion D.contrast
6．The author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about ________.
A．something about employment centre
B．online job markets
C．our personality types
D．the economic situation
7．Which of the following statements about the author is true
A．He prefers to rely on his colleagues.
B．He dislikes home operated businesses.
C．He likes giving orders to others and doesn't like facing orders.
D．He doesn't like the usual way of doing things.
8．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Creativity and chances of success.
B．Jobs and your peace of mind.
C．Following the set path and making life easier.
D．Finding the right job for your personality type.

Tips for finding your life purpose
What does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and fulfill it？__9__.Here is what I have learned so far along the way.
Play to your strengths
We are not capable of being all things to all people.__10__.Develop your natural talents into skills by studying, exercising and practicing those talents.There is nothing wrong with trying to learn new things, but the likelihood is that you were born with the abilities needed to fulfill your life purpose.
__11__
For whatever reason, we all feel enthusiastic about certain things in life.In order to live your life with purpose, you must become completely immersed in whatever it is, which means it must be something you are highly interested in.Otherwise, it will be impossible to perform at the highest level.
Focus on what you can control
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much your actions may be based on intended or expected outcomes, you absolutely cannot control the results of your actions.The path to living with purpose is paved with good intentions and continual self improvement.__12__， which means cultivating your mind, body and spirit to achieve your greatest potential and always acting with the best of intentions.
Embrace your creativity
We are all capable of producing something both original and of value to the world.Those two components — originality and value — make up the definition of creativity.__13__， and you will view the world and know the value your perspective can add.Of course, when you focus on cultivating your talents and immerse yourself in what you are passionate about, creativity comes easily.
A．Dig into the unique vision
B．Pursue your inner passions
C．Figure out your potential talent
D．It has been a long journey getting to this point
E．Put forth our best efforts to fulfill the ultimate goal
F．You were born with certain natural talents and abilities — use them
G．Living your life with purpose will undoubtedly bring a sense of fulfillment
