内化读文技法
了解议论文的结构特点
本文是一篇议论文，主要由三部分构成：第一部分(第一段)介绍了过去人们选择职业的观念和方式，指出随着时代的发展，这些观念与方式也在发生着变化。其关键在于引出话题，突出“变化”，最后一句包含了作者的观点。第二部分(第二至四段)从三个角度进行论证，分别对三种职业观念进行分析，说明这些理念由于科技的发展已经不再适合社会的发展，并且提出了应对的建议。 第三部分(第五段)重申并强化了文章的观点，即人们要通过终身学习，积极主动提升个人能力，从而把职业选择和发展的主动权掌握在自己手中。了解议论文的行文思路和结构特点，学会如何基于论据，从多种角度条理清楚地论证观点。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Most people now have no intention of following in their parents' footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
赏析：句中“have no intention of”是高级词汇，比“don't want”更形象地表达出人们心理的变化。
2．Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely.
赏析：句中否定词no longer的使用，增强了语气，进一步突出了这些变化与发展的不可逆性。
[仿写训练] (运用高级词汇完成句子)
①I ______________________ going to the party.
我无意去参加聚会。
②Great changes have taken place in that school.It is ________________________________， when it was so poorly equipped.
那个学校已经发生了巨大的变化。它不再是20年前那个样子了，那时它的教学设备是如此之差。
(二)赏句式之高
1．You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do, but this is hardly a recipe for great career success.
赏析：此句是复合句。but是表示转折关系的并列词；but之前的分句中包含一个由if引导的条件状语从句，从句中what引导宾语从句，且在句中作宾语。
2．The truth is that you are the boss of your career, and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it.
赏析：这是一个主从复合句。主句中and连接两个并列句。第一个分句中，that引导表语从句。第二个分句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。动词不定式中decide后面接两个分别由what和how引导的宾语从句。
[仿写训练] (用以上句式完成句子)
①________________________ and follow your passion, you will know ________________________________________________________________________.
如果你努力工作并追随自己的热情，你就会知道什么职业对你来说合适。
②The truth is ______________________________ and it is necessary to know ________________ and how you boost your confidence and abilities.
事实是，保持健康是最重要的。知道什么是真正的美丽以及你如何提高自己的信心和能力，这是必要的。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．And then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best
赏析：句中使用了排比句式创设了情境，引发思考，也提醒读者这些错误的想法只是一厢情愿，要尊重客观事实，注意发展趋势。
2．If you think you can't be replaced by software, or your job can't be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.
赏析：句中使用了反语和夸张的修辞手法，从表达效果上更容易让读者接受。
[仿写训练] (翻译下面的句子，注意修辞手法的使用)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
On a recent visit to her family home in Atlanta, Stella came across some papers from her tenth-grade English class.Looking at her essays and the notes, Stella was struck by how the work she did in that class informed her work now as an editor.Her teacher, Mr Newman, always encouraged his students to dig deeper.Stella learned that the best way
to understand literature is by asking, “What is this work trying to accomplish？” Now, when she sits down to edit a manuscript (手稿) that's one of two guiding questions Stella asks herself, followed by, “How can I help the author fully realize that vision？”
Those questions were at the top of Stella's mind when Freewater by Amina landed on her desk.As Stella made editorial suggestions, she was mindful of the balancing act involved in writing about a topic as painful as slavery and doing so through the eyes of a child.Stella kept a kid reader in mind — someone who might have learned only a part of this history.Stella and Amina went back and forth in phone calls, e-mails, editorial letters, and notes directly in the manuscript, until they agreed that Freewater was exactly where it needed to be.
The novel hit bookshelves on February 1, 2022, and nearly a year later was awarded the John Newbery Medal.Amina became only the third Black woman to be awarded that medal in the award's 101-year history, and Stella became the first Black editor to edit a Newbery-winning book.
Stella's strategic approach to editing, personal warmth, and keen editorial insight have won her universal admiration from authors and colleagues, who also enjoy her sense of humor and infectious laugh.She is a powerful advocate for all the authors in her orbit, which recently came to include her mother, Wanda M．Morris, whose novel All Her Little Secrets has been widely acclaimed and even optioned for TV.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了编辑Stella在其职业生涯中的专业态度、策略方法以及取得的重要成就。
1．What's Stella's tenth-grade English teacher like
A．Humorous. B．Determined.
C．Inspiring. D．Cautious.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Her teacher, Mr Newman, always encouraged his students to dig deeper.”可推出，这位老师是一个善于启发孩子们心智的人。
√
2．What's Stella's major concern as an editor
A．The novelty of the manuscript.
B．The writer's purpose of writing.
C．The writer's understanding of literature.
D．The practical significance of the work.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Now, when she sits down to edit a manuscript that's one of two guiding questions Stella asks herself, followed by, ‘How can I help the author fully realize that vision？’”可推出，Stella作为编辑主要关心的是作者的写作目的。
3．What's Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Why Amina created Freewater.
B．Who Freewater is intended for.
C．What message Freewater conveys.
D．How Stella helped improve Freewater.
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段可知，本段主要讲的是Stella 如何帮助改进Freewater这本书的。
√
4．What does the underlined word “acclaimed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Applied. B．Adapted.
C．Praised. D．Shared.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段画线词下文“even optioned for TV”可知，小说甚至被选中改编为电视剧，由此可推出小说本身被高度“评价”，故画线词与C项词义相近。

Even before Molly Johnson-Jones graduated from Oxford University in 2015, she felt professional pressure to land a “prestigious (享有声望的)” job in a high-powered industry.She says she and her university friends felt there were professions that carried prestige — particularly the fields of finance, medicine and law.That's why Johnson-Jones ended up in investment banking for two years once she graduated, even though it didn't feel like quite the right fit.
These kinds of “very traditional industries” have indeed carried prestige, says Jonah Stillman, co-founder of GenGuru, a firm that focuses on different generations in the workplace.As Gen Z joins the workforce, however, experts and younger workers say what's considered a “prestigious” job may be expanding.Some younger workers do still report making money is prestigious, especially as cost of living shoots up; and working for certain firms or in specific industries can make a career.But many also place equal stress on other elements, such as values of the company, flexibility, and freedom from long, intense work hours.
And some data indicates that Gen Z are indeed turning to more meaningful work.April 2023 data from LinkedIn of more than 7,000 global workers shows 64% of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values.The data also shows these young workers highlight work-life balance and career growth as top draws for potential workplaces.
This change in Gen Z's attitude towards work may be in part because mechanisms (机制) behind finding jobs and seeing other possible career paths are changing, says Josh Graff, managing director of EMEA and LATAM at LinkedIn.With a greater number of jobs being posted online, “people have so much more access to information
today than we did when we were applying for a job 20-plus years ago ... This allows you to have much better visibility into a wealth of roles，” he says.“That change in the workplace, in the workforce ... is leading people to understand there's a wider range of options out there.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了年轻人如今对于有声望的传统行业的看法以及一些数据表明，Z世代确实在转向更有意义的工作。
5．Why did Johnson-Jones end up in investment banking
A．She had a passion for finance.
B．She wanted to make a lot of money.
C．She found herself well suited for the career.
D．She felt pressure to take up a highly-regarded job.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She says she and her university friends ...didn't feel like quite the right fit.”可知，约翰逊－琼斯结束了投资银行业的工作是因为她觉得接受一份有声望的工作很有压力。
6．What is the main point of Paragraph 2
A．Making money is still the main concern of younger workers.
B．Gen Zers are not interested in traditional “prestigious” jobs.
C．The definition of a “prestigious” job is changing for younger workers.
D．Short-time work is still considered prestigious for younger workers.
√
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段可知，本段主要讲的是对年轻员工来说，“有声望的”工作的定义正在发生变化。
7．What do most Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland consider important when it comes to work
A．Whether they can have a good job title.
B．Whether they can receive a good salary.
C．Whether companies' values are in line with theirs.
D．Whether they have enough opportunities to socialize.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“64% of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values”可知，大多数Z世代认为工作中最重要的是公司的价值观是否与他们一致。
8．What may be contributing to the change in Gen Z's attitude towards work
A．The changing job search methods.
B．A lack of high-paying jobs in traditional industries.
C．A growing stress on companies' social responsibility.
D．Increased access to information about potential career paths.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“With a greater number of jobs being posted online ...a wider range of options out there.”可知，获取潜在职业道路信息的渠道增加导致了Z世代对工作态度的改变。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
You will be leaving this school soon and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is “ 9 ” Some of you may have already decided on a career path, but many of you still don't have a clue.Here are some things you might want to consider.
10 Will it be in demand in 20 years Rapid technological change is taking place and we need to be forward-looking at our future prospects.While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs requiring a high level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction remain in high demand.These jobs are not easily replaced by machines or technology.So think carefully about this before you choose your professional path.
Choose a career that interests you.Some people might think this is unimportant, but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won't seem unpleasant. 11 Based on your own values, skills and personality types, you should ask yourself what you really enjoy doing.This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.
Of course you will want to consider your chosen profession's earning power.Although high pay plays a part, you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more effort and a higher level of stress. 12 If you have interests outside of work, or are struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less taxing line of work.
13 Therefore, when you're not sure which direction to take, you should keep an old saying in mind：“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
A．What occupation do you want to choose
B．Prepare yourself for a career with creating power.
C．Does the career you consider have staying power
D．It's also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.
E．Only the truly-motivated are likely to meet these challenges.
F．Thinking about a lifelong career at this stage is surely challenging.
G．Choosing the right career won't stress you with enough preparations.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了选择职业时应该注意的事项。
9．选A 上文说明要问一个问题，A项(你想选择什么样的职业？)承接上文，说明是选择职业的问题，引出下文说明人们选择职业的情况。A项中的occupation和下文中的career语义相关，符合文意。
10．选C 下文说明要考虑所选职业是否能够长久，C项(你认为这个职业有持久力吗？)引领下文，对职业的持久力进行分析，符合文意。
11．选D 上文说明选择自己热爱的工作，就会把工作当成快乐，D项(你也可能会留在这个职位上并得到成长)和上文存在因果关系，因为自己热爱这项工作，所以可以留在这份工作中发展成长。
12．选E 上文说明高薪的工作具有更大的挑战性，E项(只有 真正有动力的人才有可能迎接这些挑战)承接上文，和上文存在因果关系。
13．选F 下文说明在没有确定职业方向的时候，作出选择有一定困难和挑战。F项(在这个阶段考虑终身职业肯定是具有挑战性的)和下文存在因果关系，这个阶段考虑事业具有挑战性，所以要运用这句老话。1 / 4
