Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·南通高二下质检）When it comes to career choice， you often hear a particular piece of advice.You may have given it to someone else or you may have heard it yourself： Do what you love.
The optimism behind this advice is well-intentioned， however， it raises a lot of questions.The biggest one is “What is passion？ What does it mean to be passionate？”
Allison E McWilliams Ph.D.wrote an interesting part about our relationship to work.She described three key work orientations（方向）： Job orientation — work is a means to an end， allowing you to pursue other things in life.Career orientation — care about work that allows the person to get promoted.Calling orientation — the work you do creates your identity and meaning.
The point here is that while some of us may not be passionate about the work， you are doing the work for a reason.The advice of “doing what you love” falls more into a calling orientation.
After all， there is nothing wrong with any of these orientations.Neither one of them is superior to the others.This can lead to confusion amongst people because they may have worked for completely different reasons.
Following the advice of doing what you love feels great at first， but it can be short-lived.It is because every job out there is going to have a sore spot.There is going to be something you have to do that makes it feel like busywork rather than something you are passionate about.It becomes a chore and， in turn， you could lose the passion that is driving you forward to that path.
This raises another point.Perhaps you have too many passions and you get lost， confused or frustrated with what you are trying to do.Or maybe you run into something that changes how you view your passion.For example， cooking is a great passion.But if you decide to become a chef， you would be subject to making the same dishes constantly with little variety.
1.What is the author’s top puzzle about the advice of “doing what you love”？（ ）
A.The definition of passion. B.The diversity of passion.
C.Where passion comes from. D.Why we do the work on earth.
2.What does the author think of the three key work orientations？（ ）
A.All of them are equal and reasonable.
B.None of them reflect your true passion.
C.One with job orientation focuses on job itself.
D.One with career orientation has a passion for his work.
3.What does the underlined phrase “a sore spot” in Paragraph 6 mean？（ ）
A.Something that is special. B.Something that is difficult.
C.Something that annoys you. D.Something that attracts you.
4.What does the author want to convey by giving the example of cooking？（ ）
A.We may don’t know our passions. B.Our passions can become careers.
C.It is difficult to maintain our passions. D.Our attitude to our passions can change.
B
（2024·重庆高二下月考）There is one question in every job interview that is universally dreaded by candidates：“What is your greatest weakness？”
While nobody wants to talk about something that might spoil their chances of securing a position， honesty is the right approach according to former jobseekers who took to Reddit to share their tips on how best to respond.
One user recommended being truthful but advised making just a part of your answer about the weakness — and the rest about what you’re doing to address it.
Another suggested highlighting the unexpected upsides to a weak point — such as stubbornness meaning you will stay focused on a project until the job is done.
One poster even described how being under-qualified could be changed into a positive.He told how he once admitted in an interview to not having enough experience for the job， but explained that he was so keen to learn and develop that he would become a great employee in record time.He added that he was offered the job five minutes later — and went on to live up to his promise.
Another commenter said that they often admit to being introverted （内向的） and then list the positives the personality type comes with， such as being focused and a good listener.
One man managed to land a job within five minutes by being totally honest about not having enough experience and explained that the key is turning your weakness into a positive.
People revealed that it’s no bad thing to admit to qualities that might initially sound negative， such as being introverted， stubborn or lacking in confidence.
Former jobseekers said it’s fine to admit things like being bad at public speaking or not confident on the telephone if they’re not relevant to the job you’re applying for.
5.What does the underlined word “securing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Creating. B.Changing.
C.Obtaining. D.Discovering.
6.What’s important when we admit our weakness？（ ）
A.Telling part of the truth. B.Stressing its positive side.
C.Making up some excuses. D.Ignoring its negative effects.
7.What principle is stressed in the passage？（ ）
A.Nobody is perfect. B.Honesty is the best policy.
C.Show the best of you to others. D.Believe in yourself and keep confident.
8.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（ ）
A.To offer some tips. B.To tell some stories.
C.To provide some facts. D.To analyse some theories.

1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，关于这条求职建议，作者最大的疑问是——究竟如何定义“热情”。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，作者认为，这三种职业选择方向都没有任何问题，也没有孰高孰低的区别，都是平等且合理的。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，这里作者表达的意思是：做你喜欢的工作，刚开始我们可能感觉很好，但时间长了就会慢慢厌倦。也就是说，每一种工作有其令人烦恼的地方。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者举烹饪一例，是为了说明当我们所热爱的事变为一种职业时，我们对待自己所热爱事物的态度也会慢慢发生变化。

4 / 5Section Ⅰ Reading and Thinking
WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
[1]As an adult， one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is，“What do you do？” This is because your career is a very important part of who you are.The career you have defines your life， and so taking time to think about it is an essential① exercise for young people.
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school， before you make any choices about your further education.This， however， is not always easy.[2]Some people know what they want to do from a young age， but many others just have a few ideas bouncing② around in their heads.
[1]you are asked是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词questions。
[2]动词-ing短语bouncing around in their heads作后置定语，修饰ideas。
One of the most effective ways to get some insight③ on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude④ test”.The results of the test will tell you about your strengths and interests， and some tests also suggest careers that you may be suited to⑤.Having this information will provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like.There are many free tests online， so give one a try.Getting a head start⑥ in considering your future career may help you for the rest of⑦ your life.[3]You don’t want to look back in years to come and say，“I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests.Some ask questions about your personal interests⑧ and attitudes.Others focus more on⑨ asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios⑩，like working as a librarian or a lawyer .[4]Of course， while completing these sorts of tests， it is very important to be honest — and don’t worry — there are no right or wrong answers.
[3]动词不定式短语to come作后置定语；wish后的虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反；what I really wanted to do是what引导的宾语从句。
[4]while completing ...是状语从句的省略形式。
Career Aptitude Test example（Page 1 of 10）
How do you feel about the work tasks below？
1 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Assemble a chest of drawers
2 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Drive an ambulance
3 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Help develop a cure for breast cancer
4 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Analyse the elements hydrogen and radium
5 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Design a new range of wrist accessories
6 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Design clothes for brides and bridegrooms
7 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Teach children geometry
8 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Help and advise people in serious debt
9 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Manage a hair and nail shop
10 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Provide investment advice
11 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Check and edit education materials
12 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Categorise employee profiles
One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks.Their answers are then analysed and divided up between six different types of work personalities .The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality.The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s overall work personality.This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions.
[5]The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level， but you can look at higher-level careers as well， which is very useful for high school students.For example， you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now， and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like to aim for in the future.[6]This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there.
In conclusion ， career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool.[7]However， it is important to remember that they are only meant for guidance.[8]The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about.So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now！
[5]which引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句。
[6]what引导宾语从句，在句中作定语，修饰targets。
[7]it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。
[8]动词-ing短语finding something ...作表语；that you are passionate about是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词something。

弄清楚你想做什么
作为一名成年人，你结识新朋友时首先被问及的问题之一是：“你是做什么工作的？”这是因为你的职业是你身份的一个重要组成部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活，所以花点时间来思考它，对年轻人来说是一项至关重要的锻炼。
开始考虑自己可能从事的职业的最佳时间，是你还在学校的时候，在你对自己的继续深造作出任何选择之前。然而，这并不总是那么容易。有些人年轻时就清楚自己想做什么，但更多的人往往是只有一些想法在脑子里晃来晃去。
要想洞察可能从事的职业道路，最有效的方法之一是完成“职业能力倾向测验”。从测验结果能看出你的强项和兴趣，一些测验还会就你可能适合的职业提出建议。拥有这些信息将会为你提供更好的机会来找到你喜欢的工作。网上有很多免费测验，所以尝试一下吧。在考虑你的未来职业方面早做打算，可能会让你终身受益。你也不希望多年之后回顾过去时才说：“我真希望当年能再多想想自己真正想要做什么。”
有很多不同种类的职业能力倾向测验。有些测验会问一些关于你的个人兴趣和态度的问题。另一些测验则更侧重于让你给不同类型的工作场景打分，比如说当图书管理员或律师。当然，在做这些测验时，诚实是非常重要的——无须担心，答案没有对错之分。
有一项流行的测验要求参与者给自己对各种工作任务的偏好打分。参与者的回答随后会被分析并划分为六种不同类型的职业性格。然后为参与者提供一张图表，显示他们在每一种职业性格上的得分。最高的三项得分会用来组成一个代码，以显示参与者的整体职业性格，然后用这个代码生成一个职业建议列表。
职业建议也基于你的教育和经验水平，但是你也可以看看更高层次的职业，这对高中生非常有用。例如，你可以看看基础性的职业，以了解你现在可能喜欢什么工作，然后再看看更高级别的职业，这样你就知道未来你可能想要以什么为目标。这是一个很好的工具，可以帮助规划你的职业，让你知道你需要达成什么目标才能实现理想。
总之，职业能力倾向测验显然是一个十分有用的工具。然而，重要的是要记住，它们仅供指导之用。职业生涯成功的秘诀在于找到你所热爱的。所以，尝试一些这样的网络测验，然后马上开始思考你未来的职业吧！

自主翻译
2.Some people know what they want to do from a young age，but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.
句式分析 该句是一个并列复合句。主干部分是Some people know ...，其后为what引导的 从句；but引导表示转折关系的并列分句，分句中bouncing around in their heads为动词-ing短语作后置定语，修饰名词 。
自主翻译
3.You don’t want to look back in years to come and say，“I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”
句式分析 该句是一个复合句。动词不定式to come作 ，修饰名词years；say后面为直接引语作 ；wish后为宾语从句，该从句用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反；what引导的从句作介词about 的 。
自主翻译
4.The secret to a good career is finding something that you are passionate about.
句式分析 该句是一个复合句。finding为动词-ing形式作 ；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词something，因为something是不定代词，所以这里只能用关系代词that。

WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
[1]As an adult， one of the first questions you are asked when
meeting someone new is，“What do you do？” This is because your
career is a very important part of who you are.The career you have defines
your life， and so taking time to think about it is an essential① exercise for
young people.
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are
still at school， before you make any choices about your further
education.This， however， is not always easy.[2]Some people know
what they want to do from a young age， but many others just have a few
ideas bouncing② around in their heads.
[1]you are asked是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词
questions。
[2]动词-ing短语bouncing around in their heads作后置定语，修饰
ideas。
One of the most effective ways to get some insight③ on a possible
career path is to complete a “career aptitude④ test”.The results of the
test will tell you about your strengths and interests， and some tests also
suggest careers that you may be suited to⑤.Having this information will
provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like.There are many
free tests online， so give one a try.Getting a head start⑥ in considering
your future career may help you for the rest of⑦ your life.[3]You don’t
want to look back in years to come and say，“I wish I had thought more
about what I really wanted to do.”
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests.Some ask
questions about your personal interests⑧ and attitudes.Others focus more
on⑨ asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios⑩，like working
as a librarian or a lawyer .[4]Of course， while completing these sorts
of tests， it is very important to be honest — and don’t worry — there
are no right or wrong answers.
[3]动词不定式短语to come作后置定语；wish后的虚拟语
气，表示与过去事实相反；what I really wanted to do是what引导
的宾语从句。
[4]while completing ...是状语从句的省略形式。
Career Aptitude Test example（Page 1 of 10） How do you feel about the work tasks below？
1 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Assemble a chest of drawers
2 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Drive an ambulance
3 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Help develop a cure for breast cancer
4 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Analyse the elements hydrogen and radium
5 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Design a new range of wrist accessories
6 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Design clothes for brides and bridegrooms
Career Aptitude Test example（Page 1 of 10） 7 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Teach children geometry
8 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Help and advise people in serious debt
9 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Manage a hair and nail shop
10 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Provide investment advice
11 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Check and edit education materials
12 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Categorise employee profiles
One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a
variety of work tasks.Their answers are then analysed and divided up
between six different types of work personalities .The participant is then
given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality.The
top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s
overall work personality.This code is then used to generate a list of
career suggestions.
[5]The career suggestions are also based on your education and
experience level， but you can look at higher-level careers as well，
which is very useful for high school students.For example， you could
look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now， and then
look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like to aim
for in the future.[6]This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you
know what targets you need to reach to get there.
In conclusion ， career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful
tool.[7]However， it is important to remember that they are only meant
for guidance.[8]The secret to a good career is finding something that you
are passionate about.So try a few tests online and start thinking about
your future career right now！
[5]which引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句。
[6]what引导宾语从句，在句中作定语，修饰targets。
[7]it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。
[8]动词-ing短语finding something ...作表语；that you are
passionate about是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词something。

【参考译文】
弄清楚你想做什么
作为一名成年人，你结识新朋友时首先被问及的问题之一是：
“你是做什么工作的？”这是因为你的职业是你身份的一个重要组成
部分。你所从事的职业决定了你的生活，所以花点时间来思考它，对
年轻人来说是一项至关重要的锻炼。
开始考虑自己可能从事的职业的最佳时间，是你还在学校的时
候，在你对自己的继续深造作出任何选择之前。然而，这并不总是那
么容易。有些人年轻时就清楚自己想做什么，但更多的人往往是只有
一些想法在脑子里晃来晃去。
要想洞察可能从事的职业道路，最有效的方法之一是完成“职业
能力倾向测验”。从测验结果能看出你的强项和兴趣，一些测验还会
就你可能适合的职业提出建议。拥有这些信息将会为你提供更好的机
会来找到你喜欢的工作。网上有很多免费测验，所以尝试一下吧。在
考虑你的未来职业方面早做打算，可能会让你终身受益。你也不希望
多年之后回顾过去时才说：“我真希望当年能再多想想自己真正想要
做什么。”
有很多不同种类的职业能力倾向测验。有些测验会问一些关于你
的个人兴趣和态度的问题。另一些测验则更侧重于让你给不同类型的
工作场景打分，比如说当图书管理员或律师。当然，在做这些测验
时，诚实是非常重要的——无须担心，答案没有对错之分。
有一项流行的测验要求参与者给自己对各种工作任务的偏好打
分。参与者的回答随后会被分析并划分为六种不同类型的职业性格。
然后为参与者提供一张图表，显示他们在每一种职业性格上的得分。
最高的三项得分会用来组成一个代码，以显示参与者的整体职业性
格，然后用这个代码生成一个职业建议列表。
职业建议也基于你的教育和经验水平，但是你也可以看看更高层
次的职业，这对高中生非常有用。例如，你可以看看基础性的职业，
以了解你现在可能喜欢什么工作，然后再看看更高级别的职业，这样
你就知道未来你可能想要以什么为目标。这是一个很好的工具，可以
帮助规划你的职业，让你知道你需要达成什么目标才能实现理想。
总之，职业能力倾向测验显然是一个十分有用的工具。然而，重
要的是要记住，它们仅供指导之用。职业生涯成功的秘诀在于找到你
所热爱的。所以，尝试一些这样的网络测验，然后马上开始思考你未
来的职业吧！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·南通高二下质检）When it comes to career choice， you
often hear a particular piece of advice.You may have given it to someone
else or you may have heard it yourself： Do what you love.
The optimism behind this advice is well-intentioned， however， it
raises a lot of questions.The biggest one is “What is passion？ What does
it mean to be passionate？”
Allison E McWilliams Ph.D. wrote an interesting part about our
relationship to work.She described three key work orientations（方
向）： Job orientation — work is a means to an end， allowing you to
pursue other things in life.Career orientation — care about work that
allows the person to get promoted.Calling orientation — the work you do
creates your identity and meaning.
The point here is that while some of us may not be passionate about
the work， you are doing the work for a reason.The advice of “doing
what you love” falls more into a calling orientation.
After all， there is nothing wrong with any of these
orientations.Neither one of them is superior to the others.This can lead to
confusion amongst people because they may have worked for completely
different reasons.
Following the advice of doing what you love feels great at first， but
it can be short-lived.It is because every job out there is going to have a
sore spot.There is going to be something you have to do that makes it feel
like busywork rather than something you are passionate about.It becomes
a chore and， in turn， you could lose the passion that is driving you
forward to that path.
This raises another point.Perhaps you have too many passions and
you get lost， confused or frustrated with what you are trying to do.Or
maybe you run into something that changes how you view your
passion.For example， cooking is a great passion.But if you decide to
become a chef， you would be subject to making the same dishes
constantly with little variety.

—做你喜欢的事。可是，作者对此有不同的看法。
1. What is the author’s top puzzle about the advice of “doing what you
love”？（ ）
A. The definition of passion.
B. The diversity of passion.
C. Where passion comes from.
D. Why we do the work on earth.

者最大的疑问是——究竟如何定义“热情”。
2. What does the author think of the three key work orientations？
（ ）
A. All of them are equal and reasonable.
B. None of them reflect your true passion.
C. One with job orientation focuses on job itself.

选择方向都没有任何问题，也没有孰高孰低的区别，都是平等且合
理的。
3. What does the underlined phrase “a sore spot” in Paragraph 6
mean？（ ）
A. Something that is special.
B. Something that is difficult.
C. Something that annoys you.
D. Something that attracts you.

（2024·重庆高二下月考）There is one question in every job
interview that is universally dreaded by candidates：“What is your
greatest weakness？”
While nobody wants to talk about something that might spoil their
chances of securing a position， honesty is the right approach according to
former jobseekers who took to Reddit to share their tips on how best to
respond.
One user recommended being truthful but advised making just a part
of your answer about the weakness — and the rest about what you’re
doing to address it.
Another suggested highlighting the unexpected upsides to a weak
point — such as stubbornness meaning you will stay focused on a project
until the job is done.
One poster even described how being under-qualified could be
changed into a positive.He told how he once admitted in an interview to
not having enough experience for the job， but explained that he was so
keen to learn and develop that he would become a great employee in record
time.He added that he was offered the job five minutes later — and went
on to live up to his promise.
Another commenter said that they often admit to being introverted
（内向的） and then list the positives the personality type comes with，
such as being focused and a good listener.
One man managed to land a job within five minutes by being totally
honest about not having enough experience and explained that the key is
turning your weakness into a positive.
People revealed that it’s no bad thing to admit to qualities that might
initially sound negative， such as being introverted， stubborn or lacking
in confidence.
Former jobseekers said it’s fine to admit things like being bad at
public speaking or not confident on the telephone if they’re not relevant
to the job you’re applying for.
