[2024·广东广州三校高二期末]
When it came time for me to look at options for postgraduate study, I decided to go abroad, initially looking at options in both Australia and the United States.
I decided on Australia finally after I spoke with friends, who had experience of studying at the University of Melbourne and living in the city. The people I knew described it to me as a place where there were lots of people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there were discussions happening everywhere. I’m happy to say that ended up being my experience as well.
I joined Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and drink companies, as part of their graduate programme, which was a fantastic opportunity, because it gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of roles, and gain experience across a variety of functions. But the thing with Lion was that they were already a very established business; they already had their processes and structures in place.
When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. That comes with its own challenges, as new problems appear you might be solving them from the very beginning, rather than having a framework to fall back on, but it also means there’s room to learn and experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie. Here in Australia, there’s a really high tolerance for change in your careers. I think it’s really easy for graduates to feel like they have to “jump” into a role, and then that’s it, forever. But the truth is, your career is a marathon. You can expect to change courses along the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.
( )1.Why did the author choose to study in Australia
A.Her friends lived there.
B.She decided to work there.
C.She liked the culture there.
D.She wanted to meet new people.
( )2.Which can best describe the author’s work in Lion
A.Facing various opportunities.
B.Lacking challenges.
C.Demanding new structures.
D.Offering limited roles.
( )3.What did the author want to get from Culture Amp
A.Learning how to do experiments.
B.Having a framework to turn to.
C.Dealing with problems in wise ways.
D.Experiencing a company’s development.
( )4.What is the author’s attitude towards changing jobs
A.Uncertain. B.Objective.
C.Supportive. D.Contradictory.

Ⅴ阅读理解
[2024·广东广州三校高二期末]
When it came time for me to look at options for postgraduate
study, I decided to go abroad, initially looking at options in both
Australia and the United States.
I decided on Australia finally after I spoke with friends, who
had experience of studying at the University of Melbourne and
living in the city. The people I knew described it to me as a place
1

where there were lots of people from all walks of life and cultural
backgrounds, and where everyone was open-minded and there
were discussions happening everywhere. I'm happy to say that
ended up being my experience as well.
I joined Lion, one of Australasia's largest food and drink
companies, as part of their graduate programme, which was a
fantastic opportunity, because it gave me the opportunity to work
in a variety of roles, and gain experience across a variety of
functions. But the thing with Lion was that they were already a
1
2

very established business; they already had their processes and
structures in place.
When the opportunity came for me to join Culture Amp, I
realized it was an opportunity to see a business grow and be part
of that evolution. It was just what I wanted. That comes with its
own challenges, as new problems appear you might be solving
them from the very beginning, rather than having a framework to
fall back on, but it also means there's room to learn and
experiment. It made me realize where my interests lie. Here in
1

Australia, there's a really high tolerance for change in your careers.
I think it's really easy for graduates to feel like they have to
“jump” into a role, and then that's it, forever. But the truth is,
your career is a marathon. You can expect to change courses along
the way, and allow your interests to open new doors.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在澳大利亚留学和求职
的经历，以及作者对当地文化的理解和感受。
