Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现,儿童设定的关于未来地位和教育的大目标往往会为他们成年后的成功奠定基础。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.”以及第二段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace.”可知,这项研究主要关注的是儿童时期的目标是否与未来的成功有关。故选B项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.”可知,随着孩子的成长,他们与他人建立联系的目标依然坚定。故选A项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.”可知,作者在第三段传达的信息是:童年的雄心与成功有潜在的联系。故选B项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential…”(我们的研究证明了孩子的人生目标、教育成就和未来职业结果之间的强烈联系。这个信息对家长和教育者来说是有价值的,他们可以用它来鼓励孩子设定雄心勃勃的目标。此外,它有助于制订支持个人实现目标和充分发挥他们潜力的策略……)可知,最后一段的目的是强调这项研究的重要性,故选C项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章为准备进入职场的人提供了四条建议,帮助他们建立真正的职业自信。
1.C 根据本段的主题句“Figure out which balls are plastic and which are glass.”可知,本段建议“找出哪些是塑料球,哪些是玻璃球”,也就是要找出重点,分清孰轻孰重。根据设空处下一句“And early on, you may feel as if everything is at the top of your to-do list.”可知,设空处的内容应是对职场工作内容的概括。C项“Any career is full of tasks and responsibilities.”(任何职业都充满了任务和职责。)符合语境。故选C。
2.G 根据本段的主题句“Prepare properly.”可知,本段建议“适当准备”。设空处上一句“Too little preparation and you will have to wing it (即兴发挥).”强调准备太少,你将不得不临时抱佛脚。G项中的too much preparation与上一句中的too little preparation形成对比,且其中的time与下一句中的time呼应。G项“Too much preparation and you will have wasted precious time.”(准备太多,你会浪费宝贵的时间。)符合语境。故选G。
3.A 根据空后面的内容“Celebrating aspects of our careers is not, and should not be, limited to a big win. Otherwise, most of us would rarely celebrate anything, and our professional existence would be dull.”可知,本段主要建议我们要庆祝职业生涯的方方面面,而不是只限于庆祝巨大的胜利。A项“Celebrate good times and come on.”(庆祝好时光,加油。)符合语境。故选A。
4.F 根据设空处上一句“Celebrating isn’t just about blowing your own horn.”可知,此处强调庆祝不只是吹嘘你的胜利。F项“It’s also about acknowledging and appreciating your efforts.”(它也是关于认可和赞赏你的努力。)中的it指代上一句中的celebrating,also about与上一句中的isn’t just about呼应。故选F。
5.E 根据本段主题句“Darken the spotlight.”以及前文“Due to the spotlight effect, we have a tendency to overestimate the degree to which others care about our successes or failures.”可知,由于聚光灯效应,我们倾向于高估别人对我们成功或失败的关心程度,但是我们要使聚光灯变暗,即不要高估别人对我们成功或失败的关心程度。E项“So don’t care how you will be viewed.”(所以不要在意别人怎么看你。)与上文构成因果关系,符合语境。故选E。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了随着中国数字技术的快速发展和劳动力类别的扩大,近年来出现了大量新职业。这些新职业为就业提供了更多选择,其中一些与数字技术相关。尤其是在就业市场竞争激烈的情况下,中国青年热衷于选择这些新职业。
1.categories 考查名词复数。category是可数名词,被形容词various修饰,用复数形式。故填categories。
2.published 考查非谓语动词。句子已有谓语showed,publish应用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语a national classification of occupations之间是被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语。故填published。
3.which 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词1,639 identified occupations,关系词在从句中作介词后宾语,用关系代词which构成“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。故填which。
4.ambitiously 考查副词。修饰动词短语,用副词ambitiously,意为“雄心勃勃地”。故填ambitiously。
5.competition 考查名词。作介词in的宾语,应用名词competition作宾语,意为“竞争”,不可数。故填competition。
6.using 考查非谓语动词。作介词宾语,用动名词形式using。故填using。
7.a 考查冠词。可数名词occupation在句中表示“职业”,此处表泛指,new发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
8.studied 考查动词时态和语态。study是定语从句中的谓语动词,与主语 who(即先行词Wang)之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语once,讲述过去的事情应使用一般过去时。综上可知,谓语应用一般过去时的主动语态。故填studied。
9.to represent 考查非谓语动词。use sth to do sth是固定搭配,意为“用……做……”,用不定式作目的状语。故填to represent。
10.to 考查介词。adapt to是固定搭配,意为“适应……”。故填to。Unit 5 LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER

It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: What do you want to be when you grow up Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their future. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person’s goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: Dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!

As you prepare to enter the workforce, here are four tips that may help set yourself up for authentic career confidence.
Figure out which balls are plastic and which are glass. 1. And early on, you may feel as if everything is at the top of your to-do list. There are only so many hours in the day, and there will inevitably be times when you can’t accomplish everything. So, if you’re going to drop the ball on something, be strategic. Choose to drop balls that will bounce and not break.
Prepare properly. Too little preparation and you will have to wing it (即兴发挥). 2. Conserve your time and energy and struggle to find what feels just right for you. Maximize your efficiency in preparing for a particular task.
3. Celebrating aspects of our careers is not, and should not be, limited to a big win. Otherwise, most of us would rarely celebrate anything, and our professional existence would be dull. Celebrating isn’t just about blowing your own horn. 4. In this way, celebration can enable greater confidence.
Darken the spotlight. Keep in mind that no one is scrutinizing (审视) you the way that you’re scrutinizing yourself. Due to the spotlight effect, we have a tendency to overestimate the degree to which others care about our successes or failures. 5. After all, you have a 100% track record of surviving professional challenges, even if they didn’t quite go as you hoped.
A.Celebrate good times and come on.
B.Celebrate your big wins.
C.Any career is full of tasks and responsibilities.
D.Building real confidence is vital for career success.
E.So don’t care how you will be viewed.
F.It’s also about acknowledging and appreciating your efforts.
G.Too much preparation and you will have wasted precious time.

even becoming more involved in the community or helping
others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals
evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and
how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as
an employee later on. Overall, a child's goals focusing on their
education and future status were the most consistent predictors
of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about
doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult,

these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these
children will be. So, the message is simple: Dream big and
dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success
when you grow up!
“Our work proves a strong connection between a child's life
goals, educational achievement, and future occupational
outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators
who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals.
Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in
achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian
concludes.

但是我们要使聚光灯变暗，即不要高估别人对我们成功或失败的关
心程度。E项“So don't care how you will be viewed.”(所以不要在
意别人怎么看你。)与上文构成因果关系，符合语境。故选E。
