Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今就业市场面临巨大变革的现象,指出这一现象背后的原因是工作技能差距和不匹配。
1.D 细节理解题。文章第二段“Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can’t find jobs, while employers can’t find qualified employees. Even those who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs.”主要说明了当前的就业现象;第三段“The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 2020 report shows that all regions are facing major job-skill gaps and mismatches.”分析了这一现象背后的原因。据此可知,文章的结构是现象与分析。故选D项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 2020 report shows that all regions are facing major job-skill gaps and mismatches…Now half of the skills you acquired through education and training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years! (Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition (转型) are quickening.”可知,作者通过参考其他研究证明他的观点。故选D项。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第三段“The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 2020 report shows that all regions are facing major job-skill gaps and mismatches.”和倒数第二段“ChatGPT is a case in point.

The automobile industry may continue to boom…because of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be created—but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and upskilled.”可知,作者对绿色转型的态度是客观的。故选A项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者20多岁时得到进入当地的一所学校任教的机会。作者认真备课,积极地对待学生,学生回答问题正确时作者会向他们表示祝贺,回答错误时则会鼓励他们。一天放学后,一个小女孩给了作者一张便笺,称作者是她遇到的最好的老师,这让作者非常惊讶。这次经历也让作者认识到善意的话语的力量。
1.D 根据上文的“Even though I was armed with a degree in Education…”和下文的“I had to try some temporary ones.”可知,此处表示虽然作者有教育学学位,但找到一个全职的教学工作依旧不容易,因此作者不得不尝试一些临时的教学工作。故选D。first-rate第一流的,极好的;well-paid薪金优厚的,高薪的;labour-saving节省劳力的;full-time全职的。
2.C 根据上文的“…finding a…teaching job was not easy.”和下文的“…took things seriously.”以及对作者尽心尽力地教学、积极地对待学生的描述可知,此处指当一个绝佳的机会出现时,作者迫不及待地抓住这次机会。故选C。escape逃离,逃走;demand强烈要求;arise出现,产生;arrange安排,筹备。
3.A 根据后文“I…myself with lesson plans, taught with enthusiasm, and stayed…with the students.”可知,作者尽心尽力地教学、积极地对待学生。所以此处指当一个绝佳的机会出现时,作者迫不及待地抓住这次机会。故选A。jump at迫不及待地接受,欣然接受(机会或提议);think about考虑:wait for等待; dream of梦想。
4.A 根据上文的“…took things seriously.”可知,此处指作者忙于课程计划。此处是固定搭配:occupy oneself with sth,意为“忙着做某事”。故选A。occupy使忙于(做某事);amuse逗笑;concern涉及;content满足。

7.B 根据下文的“…before she went home.”可知,此处表示一天,当学生放学后。故选B。grade分级;dismiss解散;test考验;teach教。
8.A 根据下文的“I took that note home…”可知,一个女孩走过来给了作者一张便笺。故选A。note便笺;gift礼物;parcel包裹;book书。

10.B 根据语境可知,作者善意的话语触动了那个女孩的心。故选B。harden硬化;touch触动,感动;break损坏;gladden使高兴。
11.C 根据后文“…because it was very important.”可知,它非常重要,所以应是被作者小心翼翼地放在一个文件夹里。故选C。simply简单地;casually随意地;carefully小心地;eagerly急切地。
12.B 根据上文的“I took that note home and…put it in a folder…”和下文的“…because it was very important.”可知,作者很珍视这个便笺,把它视为珍宝。故选B。reminder引起回忆的事物;treasure珍宝;proof证明;secret秘密。
13.A 根据上文的“Anytime I was feeling down I would look at it…”可知,每次作者感到情绪低沉时,都会看看这张便笺。由此可知,这张便笺是一个让作者感到安慰的事物。故选A。comfort令人感到安慰的事物(或人);fortune财富;fantasy幻想;privilege特权。

●Ⅴ 阅读理解 [2024·江苏常州高二期末]
Jobs are central to our lives. They enable us to make a living. Productive jobs create wealth and drive development. Full employment ensures not only economic prosperity but also social cohesion and stability. That is why the International Labour Organization(ILO), as one of the UN agencies specializing in employment, promotes decent work as a key to sustainable development and social justice.
Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can’t find jobs, while employers can’t find qualified employees. Even those who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs.
Such anxiety is not misplaced. The ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 2020 report shows that all regions are facing major job-skill gaps and mismatches. According to its study, a generation ago the skills you learned in school were sufficient for you to survive in the job market for a while. Now half of the skills you acquired through education and training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years! (Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition (转型) are quickening.
ChatGPT is a case in point. AI has the potential to replace many professional and even creative jobs. The potential threat is no longer limited to replacing unskilled repetitive jobs by automation. Technologies are fundamentally reshaping workplaces and jobs.
The green transition is another driver of growing job-skill mismatches. The automobile industry may continue to boom, but electric cars require a different set of human skills from fossil fuel-driven cars. Jobs in high carbon emission sectors will gradually disappear, while alternative jobs are greened or created in green sectors. According to an ILO analysis, because of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be created—but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and upskilled. (ILO, 2019)

Ⅴ阅读理解［2024·江苏常州高二期末］
Jobs are central to our lives. They enable us to make a
living. Productive jobs create wealth and drive development. Full
employment ensures not only economic prosperity but also
social cohesion and stability. That is why the International
Labour Organization(ILO), as one of the UN agencies specializing
in employment, promotes decent work as a key to sustainable
development and social justice.

Globally, the world of work is undergoing great changes
unseen in a century. We often hear that many people can't find
jobs, while employers can't find qualified employees. Even those
who have jobs are worried about the future of their jobs.
Such anxiety is not misplaced. The ILO's World Employment
and Social Outlook 2020 report shows that all regions are facing
major job-skill gaps and mismatches. According to its study, a
generation ago the skills you learned in school were sufficient
for you to survive in the job market for a while.

Now half of the skills you acquired through education and
training may start to depreciate (贬值) within 5 years!
(Boston Consulting Group, 2023) Skills become outdated much
quicker, as technological transformation and the green transition
(转型) are quickening.
ChatGPT is a case in point. AI has the potential to replace
many professional and even creative jobs. The potential threat is
no longer limited to replacing unskilled repetitive jobs by
automation. Technologies are fundamentally reshaping
workplaces and jobs.

The green transition is another driver of growing job-skill
mismatches. The automobile industry may continue to boom,
but electric cars require a different set of human skills from
fossil fuel-driven cars. Jobs in high carbon emission sectors will
gradually disappear, while alternative jobs are greened or
created in green sectors. According to an ILO analysis, because
of the green transition, there could be around 78 million job
losses globally by 2030. However, over 103 million jobs can be
created—but only if workers can be systematically reskilled and
upskilled. (ILO, 2019)
