听力原文：
（Text 1）
M：What did you do after graduation？
W：I’d planned to be a teacher， but then I was offered a good job doing marketing， so I changed my mind.
M：Sounds like you’re happy with your decision.
W：I am.I enjoy my job very much.By the way， have you not had any job offers yet？
M：I had one， but I didn’t like the job very much.I’d also really wanted to attend graduate school， but I was afraid I couldn’t pay that much money.
W：I think you need to make a decision， stick to it and don’t be afraid of difficulties.
（Text 2）
W：Look， Jack！ Here’s a job that might interest you.
M：Are you sure？ The last job interview you sent me to was really a disaster.
W：Well， look！ It’s a big company.You might get to travel.
M：What kind of company is it， though？
W：Um， let’s see.It’s a newspaper office.They say the pay is really good.And oh， look！ They give you a car to travel around.That’s not bad， is it？
M：Do they say anything about needing to have experience of a journalist？
W：No， they want someone young and energetic.Oh， yes， they want a university graduate， so that’s OK.You’ve been to university.The only thing is that you have to travel， but then that’s what the company car is for.
M：Perhaps I’ll have a closer look at it.
（Text 3）
W：John， when you were little， what did you dream you’d grow up to be？
M：Oh， I dreamed that I’d be a pilot when I grew up.
W：So what happened？ Did you just lose interest in being a pilot？
M：No.My parents said it was too dangerous， and they wanted me to find a safer job.How about you？ What did you dream of becoming when you were a little girl？
W：When I was a little girl， I dreamed of being a great scientist， but now， as you can see， I’m just a common office clerk.
M：So what are your dreams now？
W：Well， I really want to be a translator some day， so I’m working hard to learn English.
M：You’re so good at language learning.Your French and Italian are already fluent.Well， I hope you succeed in that dream some day！
W：Thanks.
（Text 4）
W：Hi， Bob！ I am so glad that you came.
M：Of course I’d come.I couldn’t think of a better chance to see all my old friends.
W：It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since graduation.
M：How time flies！ How are things going with you？
W：It’s only recently that I’ve been able to start settling down.How about you？ Are you still with Jenny？
M：Yeah， Jenny and I got married right after graduation.It was hard for the first three years — I was supporting us both while she continued her studies — but now things are getting better.I work as a manager in a trade company and she’s working at a law firm.It’s all started to come together and we’re finally able to make a life for ourselves.
W：Oh， that sounds wonderful.I have always known you two would make it.I hope I can keep in better contact with you.
M：Definitely！ Actually， we just moved into a new place.There’s a house-warming party this Saturday， if you are free. I know Jenny would love to see you again and it should be a good party.
W：Sounds great！ I am free this weekend and I’ll be there.

Step 2 析写作手法
学语言：
第一个文本是面向青少年的招聘，所以语言风格活泼，开篇用了三个问句构成排比句，营造出一种轻松、活泼的招聘氛围，而且用active、outgoing、passionate等形容词快速定位对应聘者的个性需求，同时也期待与具有这些品质的潜在应聘者产生共鸣。连续提问这种排比用在招聘启事中，也可以用来突出对人员的迫切需求。标题中的 WANTED，含义广泛，在不同的语境中可以有不同的翻译，如“通缉告示”中的“告示”也可用此表达。招聘启事中还有一些语句强调了这项工作的独特之处，如工作地点风景优美，有静谧的河流、星空下的露营，还有与来自世界各地爱好中国文化的青少年交流的机会等。
第二个文本中有一些通用的语言表达和句式值得关注，例如：“I would like to apply for ...” “Please find my CV attached.” “I believe I would be a valuable addition ...” “I have done ...” “I have experience in ...，and ...” “I am ...and I enjoy ...” “With my proficiency in ...， I could also ...”等。
第三个文本是简历，语言要求言简意赅，在表意清楚的前提下，提倡用笔记式的短语，不必用完整句。
学结构：
该部分的文本主要由招聘启事、求职信和简历三种文体构成。这三种文体各有特色。
在第一个文本中，提出了招聘需求，包括岗位名称、岗位职责、人员要求及应聘渠道等信息。
第二和第三个文本分别是求职信和简历，合在一起构成一份完整的求职材料。第二个文本是一封求职信。求职信在英文中也叫作 Cover Letter。求职是否成功，除了求职者自身应该具备相应的学识和能力，一封突出自己特点、言简意赅
的求职信，更是应聘心仪工作的“敲门砖”。教材中的求职信作为范例，展示了求职信应具备的基本内容。例如：应聘的愿望（第一段）；个人基本情况，包括与岗位有关的学历、经验、个人的素质和能力等（第二至五段）；表达希望收到对方反馈或获得面试的机会（第六段）。
第三个文本是与求职信匹配的简历。简历中只需要写与目标职位有关的事实信息。教材中提供的简历包括的内容有基本信息（name and address）， 教育背景（education）、工作经验（work experience）、专业技能（skills and qualifications）、所获荣誉（achievements and awards）、兴趣爱好（interests）等，这些都是简历应该具备的基本内容。如果是大学入学申请的简历，还可以包括推荐人（referee）的姓名、职业和联系方式。所有信息按项目分类，以清单的形式列出来。

（2024·临沂高二下期末）Is it possible that there are basic myths and lies that are ruining your life， holding back your career or justifying an unhappy or unfulfilled life？
The little things we believe or tell ourselves can go a long way towards affecting our success.Here’s what Greg McKeown， author and Young Global Leader at World Economic Forum， had to say.
Why do capable people fail to break through to the next level？ It’s a question McKeown began pursuing an answer to when he quit law school 15 years ago.“The answer to the question， to my great surprise， is success，” he wrote in his post 12 Myths That Lead to a Busy， Unfulfilling Life.
“I found that success can be a catalyst （催化剂） for failure，” McKeown wrote.What often happens， he said， is that successful people get disturbed by small things.
He pointed to 12 big myths that can lead to a stressful， unsatisfying career and life.Among them：
“If everyone is doing it， then I need to do it. Let the fear of missing out consume you.Buy into the cultural belief that glorifies being busy and checking social media and email constantly.Don’t pay attention to the quiet voice telling you a different life is possible.Just go with the crowd.The truth：There is a joy in missing out.Discover it.
“I’ll stay up late and get it done.If you ever mention sleep to someone remember to talk about how little you’ve had lately.Boast about getting five hours last night， or about how you pulled an all-nighter earlier this week.It’s okay to be tired and to admit it.But don’t show weakness — or worse， laziness — by suggesting you need a full eight hours.The truth： Sleep is for high performers.”
The lesson is simple.“When organising your life， there are only two choices： The disciplined pursuit of the essential or the undisciplined pursuit of the nonessential，” McKeown wrote.“And that matters because if you don’t control your life， someone else will.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。我们都渴望成功。不过，成功也有其负面效应，有时它甚至是失败的催化剂。
1.What was Greg McKeown focusing on when he quit law school？（ ）
A.Why many people give up their dreams.
B.Why capable people can’t achieve success.
C.What is the secret of many people’s success.
D.What keeps capable people from winning greater success.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，Greg McKeown 15年前就从法学院退学，然后开始研究的话题是：是什么阻止成功人士取得更大的突破和成功。
2.Why can success be a catalyst for failure according to Greg McKeown？（ ）
A.Successful people will become proud.
B.Success may offer people more challenges.
C.Successful people won’t work hard any more.
D.Success can prevent people from concentrating.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，在Greg McKeown看来，成功可能会是失败的催化剂，原因是人们取得成功后往往会受到很多琐碎事情的干扰，从而精力无法集中。
3.What does Greg McKeown advise us to do？（ ）
A.Go with the crowd. B.Check email regularly.
C.Follow your own course. D.Check social media often.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第六段可知，A、B、D三项都是Greg McKeown反对的，C项是他建议的，他呼吁我们不走寻常路、标新立异。
4.In Paragraph 7， Greg McKeown stressed the importance of .（ ）
A.working hard B.managing time
C.getting enough sleep D.combining work and play
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第七段可知，Greg McKeown反对牺牲正常睡眠的做法，他极力强调足够睡眠的重要性。

（2024·浙江四校高二下联考）“Think of mental work as doing push-ups，” says Josh Davis， author of Two Awesome Hours.Say you want to do 10，000.The most “efficient” way would be to do them all at once without a break.We know， though， that that is impossible.Instead， if we did just a few at a time， between other activities and stretched （延伸） out over weeks， hitting 10，000 would become far more feasible.
“The brain is very much like a muscle in this respect，” Davis writes.“Set up the wrong conditions through constant work and we can accomplish little.Set up the right conditions and there is probably little we can’t do.”
Many of us， though， tend to think of our brains not as muscles， but as a computer： a machine capable of constant work.Not only is that untrue， but pushing ourselves to work for hours without a break can be harmful， some experts say.
“The idea that you can unlimitedly stretch out your deep focus and productivity time is really wrong，” says research scientist Andrew Smart， author of Autopilot.“If you’re constantly doing this， where your physiology is saying ‘I need a break’ but you keep pushing yourself， you get this low-level stress response — and， over time， extraordinarily dangerous.”
One analysis found that long working hours increased the risk of heart disease by 40% — almost as much as smoking （50%）.Another found that people who worked long hours had a much higher risk of stroke， while people who worked more than 11 hours a day were almost 2.5 times more likely to suffer from depression than those who worked seven to eight.In Japan， this has led to the disturbing trend of karoshi， or death by overwork.
If you’re wondering if this means that you might want to consider taking that long-delayed holiday， the answer may be yes.One study of businessmen in Helsinki found that over 26 years， executives and businessmen who took fewer holidays in midlife predicted both earlier deaths and worse health in old age.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。长时间工作对身体健康的危害极大。作者建议我们将大脑看作身体上的肌肉，而非电脑，必须注意劳逸结合。
5.What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？（ ）
A.Being effective.
B.Being impossible.
C.That can be done.
D.That can be refused.
解析：C 词义猜测题。根据上文可知，作者这里在进行一种假设：（相比一次性完成一万个俯卧撑）如果我们每次只做几个、花好几周来完成，那么，很显然这样就容易得多，也更加“可行”。
6.What do Josh Davis and Andrew Smart have in common？（ ）
A.They like doing push-ups.
B.They support short breaks.
C.They advocate working hard.
D.They compare our brains to computers.
解析：B 细节理解题。Josh Davis以做俯卧撑为例，来说明一次性完成是不可能的（强调中间要休息）；他认为人脑就像肌肉，不是电脑。Andrew Smart也认为，无限地延伸工作时间是错误的。因此他们的共同之处在于都支持短暂的休息。
7.What did the two analyses in Paragraph 5 indicate？（ ）
A.The risks of some diseases. B.The reasons for poor health.
C.The benefits of taking a holiday. D.The harm of working long hours.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，这两项研究都表明长时间工作会导致各种疾病甚至抑郁症，也就是长时间工作的害处。
8.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？（ ）
A.To make a prediction. B.To offer a suggestion.
C.To present an analysis. D.To give an introduction.
解析：B 写作意图题。最后一段第一句是主题句，本句很明显在建议读者选择度假以获得必要的休息。后面的句子（带有警示和提醒的感觉）也是为第一句服务的。
C
（2024·石家庄高二下质检）Every minute， every single day， about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans.Since the 1950s， some 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide， and to date， only 9% of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water， drink it for a few minutes， and toss its permanent packaging “away”.We eat potato chips， finish them， then throw their permanent packaging “away”.We buy produce， take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap， then throw its permanent packaging “away”.
The cycle is endless， and it happens countless times every single day.But here’s the problem —there is no “away”.Chances are， it ends up polluting our communities， oceans or waterways in some form.
For years， we’ve been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through better individual action.But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans； we have to slow down the production of all this plastic waste.Think about it： if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on， your first step wouldn’t be to start mopping.You’d first cut the flooding off at its source — the tap.In many ways， our plastics problem is no different.
We need corporations — those like Coca-Cola， Unilever， Starbucks and Nestlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles， cups， and straws — to step up and take real responsibility for the mess they’ve created.Drink companies produce over 500 billion single-use plastic bottles annually； there is no way that we can recycle our way out of a problem of that scale.
This is their crisis to tackle.We will continue to do our part， but it’s time for the world’s largest corporations to do theirs.Some 322 million tons of plastic were produced in 2015， and that number is expected to double by 2025.Now， we must demand a new era that places people and planet over profit and convenience.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。塑料污染已经严重破坏了我们的环境，尤其是海洋。作者认为，除了我们个人要养成环保习惯外，那些制造塑料的大公司也应该负起主要责任。
9.What does the underlined part “there is no ‘away’” in Paragraph 3 mean？（ ）
A.We can hardly deal with plastic pollution.
B.We can hardly stop using plastic products.
C.The plastic we throw away won’t disappear.
D.The plastic we throw away will do great harm.
解析：C 词句猜测题。第二段中多次提到permanent packaging，说明塑料包装很难降解（消失）。另外，画线部分下句指出这些我们扔掉的塑料最终会污染环境。再结合away一词的含义可知，画线部分意为“我们扔掉的塑料很难消失”。
10.Why does the author give the example of our home’s flooding？（ ）
A.To encourage us to save water.
B.To teach us how to solve a problem.
C.To tell us how serious plastic pollution is.
D.To advise us to find the source of a problem.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知，作者所举例子说明，当我们房间的自来水漏水时，首先要做的是关闭水龙头而不是拖地。再结合该段中的we have to slow down the production of all this plastic waste可知，显然作者是在建议我们要发现问题的源头。
11.Who should take the biggest responsibility according to the author？（ ）
A.The government. B.The big companies.
C.All the individuals. D.The civil organizations.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据最后两段可知，作者的观点很明确：仅仅靠民众根本无法解决塑料污染问题，解决问题的关键在于塑料污染的主要责任者——那些生产和制造塑料的企业。
12.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？（ ）
A.To appeal to action. B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To give some suggestions. D.To offer some instructions.
解析：A 写作目的题。根据最后一段可知，作者不但呼吁民众行动起来，也呼吁企业承担起自己的责任来解决塑料污染问题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·河南六校高二下联考）Why are the letters on the keyboard not in alphabetical order？ 13.（ ） And so as a grown-up， I decided to research it and write a paper about it.
Let’s turn the clock back. About 150 years ago， all letters and business papers were written by hand. Most likely they were written using a pen that had to be dipped in ink every word or two. Writing was slow and messy.
Then some clever inventors built a machine for typing. 14.（ ） The trouble was that if you hit two keys quickly the levers would jam. Jams were most likely when the two keys were close together on the keyboard. Rearranging the letters could reduce jams.
Christopher Sholes was an American inventor who was most successful in reducing jams. He tried various arrangements， always trying to reduce the need to type two keys that were close together. 15.（ ）
He sold his invention to the Remington Company in the United States. In the 1870s， that company built and sold the first commercially successful typewriters. 16.（ ）
For 100 years or so after the Remington typewriter arrived， vast numbers of people all over the world trained to become touch typists （meaning they could type even without looking much at the keyboard）. 17.（ ） Because so many people became so skilled at using QWERTY， it became very difficult to get everyone to change to any other key arrangement.
A.They had no other choices.
B.They used the QWERTY keyboard.
C.He was a very successful businessman.
D.That question really puzzled me when I was a kid.
E.The first typewriter had the letter keys in alphabetical order.
F.They were employed to type letters and all other kinds of things.
G.The best arrangement he could find was similar to the QWERTY keyboard we all use today.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。你是否思考过这个问题：电脑键盘上的按键为什么不是按照字母顺序排列的呢？
13.D 上文提出一个问题：电脑键盘上的按键为什么不是按照字母顺序排列的呢？D项承接上文，符合语境。
14.E 上文提到人类发明了第一台用于打字的机器，E项中的The first typewriter与此匹配，承上启下，符合语境。
15.G 上文介绍了Christopher Sholes寻求各种字母排列方案来解决打字时机器被卡住的问题，G项中的The best arrangement与上文信息匹配，符合语境。
16.B 上文提到这家公司成功生产和销售了世界上第一批商用打字机，B项是对这批打字机的补充说明，符合语境。
17.F 上文提到全球出现了大批受过培训的打字员，F项则是对这些打字员的进一步补充说明，符合语境。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my twelfth birthday， and what I really wanted most was a new bicycle.But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one， so I settled for a bedside table with lockable drawers， a safe place to keep my private stuff.
We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one.It didn’t look too cool， but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home， I was getting ready to paint it.When I pulled the drawers out， I felt something stuck to the back.I reached in all the way， and guess what？ A sealed bag with some papers in it.
When I opened the bag， I realised that the papers were official documents.And， wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills！ Talk about finding a treasure！ And on my birthday！
“Is this some kind of joke？” I said aloud.I went ahead and read the papers， and it turned out to be a will.Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.
My mind was going crazy.Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever？ With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle.Who knows？
I began counting.When I reached a thousand dollars， my mother was knocking on my bedroom door.I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.
“Do you want some help？ Is everything all right？” she asked.
No， everything was not right.Actually， my stomach was growling （低吼）.
“I’m okay，” I lied.
When my mother left my room， I lay on my bed， starting thinking.What a dilemma （窘境）！ I wished there were some one I could talk with.Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family？ It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it， if I shared it ...right？ Thoughts ran through my mind.But I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom.
Though surprised， the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number.
参考范文：
I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom.When my parents saw what I had found in the drawer， they were surprised and speechless！ Then， they read the papers carefully and were moved to tears.When they asked，“What should we do？” I said，“Let’s take it back to the store and find her family.” My father nodded with a smile on his face and my mother hugged me warmly， saying， “You are my pride， dear.” I felt very happy because I already knew right from wrong.We collected all the money and papers at once， putting them in the drawer.We rushed to the charity shop with the drawer in the hope to find the owner as soon as possible.
Though surprised， the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number.Within a few minutes， the family all came over.When I showed them what I had found in the drawer， they couldn’t believe their eyes.The parents had tears in their eyes， who were still sad about the lady’s death.It was easy to see that my act of honesty gave them hope.They showed me sincere gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.In fact， never had I felt better before.No new bicycle could have made me feel as good about myself as I felt that day because I passed a very important test — a lost and found test of my own character.
25 / 26Section 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

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！

第五步：辨难句拆分解读
1.The career you have defines your life， and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
句式分析 该句是一个并列复合句。you have是省略了引导词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词 career ，后面为and引导的并列分句，分句主语为 taking time to think about it 。
自主翻译 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。
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 宾语 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 ideas 。
自主翻译 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。
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 后置定语 ，修饰名词years；say后面为直接引语作 宾语 ；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 宾语 。
自主翻译 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。”
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 表语 ；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。
自主翻译 职业生涯成功的秘诀在于找到你所热爱的。

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.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们经常听到的一条求职建议是——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.
解析：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.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.
解析：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.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.
解析：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.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.
解析：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。
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.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。面试时我们经常会被问到What is your greatest weakness？这个问题，我们该如何回答呢？本文就此进行了说明。
5.What does the underlined word “securing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Creating. B.Changing.
C.Obtaining. D.Discovering.
解析：C 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，人们之所以害怕回答这个问题，是因为他们担心失去这个工作机会。由此可推知，画线词意为“获得”。
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.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四至七段可知，如实承认缺点没有什么，重要的是强调缺点带来的积极的一面。
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.
解析：B 推理判断题。综合全文可知，作者在第二段首次提出我们应该诚实回答面试问题，接下来的举例都是围绕这一原则展开，直到结尾还在建议我们如实承认自己的缺点。由此可推知，本文要强调的原则是：诚为上策。
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.
解析：A 写作意图题。综合全文可知，作者一开始提出问题，接下来通过举例来给我们提出一些建议，帮助我们来回答这一面试难题。由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提供一些建议。

（Text 10）
M：It is really difficult for American university students to develop good health habits， but many students do manage to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in yoga， soccer， volleyball and other fitness activities， or by providing recreation centers where students can exercise， swim， work out or play different sports.
Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge.However， as American society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems， even some fast food restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads， soups and low-fat sandwiches.
There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools， too.In addition， schools usually include a student health center where students can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students， because a simple doctor’s appointment can cost a hundred dollars， and a short hospital stay will cost thousands.

Since bike-sharing company Mobike withdrew from the Singapore market，a businessman Win was sad to see mountains of thrown-away bicycles.The manufacturing of these bicycles can cost from 300 to 500 per unit and a lot of natural resources are now left to waste and sent to be recycled or just simply left rusting （生锈） somewhere else.
Win then thought about all the young village children he had seen walking to school during his road trips through Myanmar in the past.He was suddenly struck with an inspiration.
“It’s a common sight to see many students walking long distances from home to school in villages，” said Win.“Some students can walk up to one hour from home to school and the families can hardly afford a simple form of transport like bicycle or motorcycle.They have never heard of school buses.”
Win then started the LessWalk non-profit organisation so that he could buy Mobike’s unused bicycles and donate them to schoolchildren.The project actually needs a lot of money.In addition to replacing ride-sharing electrical system with regular key locks， Win says that it’s not an easy job to ship the bikes from Singapore to Myanmar.But Win is delighted to report that he has successfully shipped and received about 4，700 new bikes with 5，300 more already on the way.
All bicycles are free for students who live below the poverty line in Myanmar and need to walk 2 kilometers to school.The organisation has been provided money from donations， but the main part of their 400，000 funds has come straight from Win’s pocket.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Win成立了一个非营利组织，用募捐到的钱和他自己的钱购买共享单车并捐赠给缅甸贫困地区的孩子们。
24.What can we learn from Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.Win wants to help Mobike get their bicycles recycled.
B.The production of these bicycles is a waste of money.
C.These shared bicycles cause damage to the environment.
D.The thrown-away bicycles actually cost a lot of money.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的The manufacturing of these bicycles can cost from 300 to 500 per unit and a lot of natural resources are now left to waste可知，这些被丢弃的共享单车造价不菲。
25.How did Win know the village children’s poor condition？（ ）
A.He once made road trips there. B.He visited them in the past.
C.Someone told him about it. D.He once had his own business there.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Win因为曾经自驾游时路过那里而得知这些孩子们的状况。
26.What can we infer about Win’s project？（ ）
A.He got most of the bikes from Mobike for free.
B.He got most of the money from donations.
C.He overcame many difficulties in the process.
D.He wasn’t sure about the project in the beginning.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的In addition to replacing ride-sharing electrical system ...with 5，300 more already on the way.可知，Win在此过程中遇到了许多困难，但是全被他克服了。
27.Which can be a suitable title for the passage？（ ）
A.The Growth of a Non-profit Organisation
B.Keeping Unused Shared Bikes Valuable
C.Donating New Bikes to Schoolchildren
D.The Pleasure of Riding Shared Bikes
解析：B 标题归纳题。综合全文可知，本文讲述了Win因为不忍心看到那么多共享单车被浪费，便成立了一个非营利组织，购买共享单车并捐赠给缅甸贫困地区孩子们的故事。因此B项作为标题最合适。
C
All governments have tried to get more young people into higher education.But has an unintended consequence of this social mobility （社会阶层变动） drive been the neglect of low-skilled work？
When I was an editor of the Financial Times back in the early 1990s， almost every week a report would land on my desk predicting that most people in the future would have a cool job in business services or the creative fields， and that unskilled jobs would fall to a few hundred thousand.
But it hasn’t worked out like that.In fact， experts estimate that between one quarter and one-third of all jobs in the British economy today — as many as nine million — are low-skilled， and the number is increasing in fields like care， retail and hospitality.
There is also a sense that some of these jobs have a bad image.And some fields are experiencing recruitment problems.
In part， it is because we have higher expectations about what we want from a job than people used to， according to Professor Caroline Lloyd， who was recently involved in a large study of low wage work in five industries across the UK and Europe.
“Young people are always being told to look high， be ambitious； and then， faced with a labour market where the jobs aren’t very good， then of course there’s a lot of dissatisfaction there.”
Over recent years， she says， low-skilled jobs have become relatively less well paid， and often more demanding.As a result， we should not be surprised that people — especially young men — no longer want to do basic jobs.
So how， if at all， can these jobs be made more attractive？ Paying more for them would be a start， but progress on pay is not going to be fast.Giving more thought to job design， and how to make even quite basic jobs more satisfying， is easier to achieve.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们的社会都鼓励年轻人接受高等教育，以便将来参加诱人的高薪工作。可是，这种文化带来了一个人们不愿意看到的结果——人们对低技术工作的忽视甚至歧视。
28.What is an unwanted result of the social mobility drive？（ ）
A.The increase of low-skilled jobs.
B.The decrease of low-skilled jobs.
C.People’s refusing to do low-skilled jobs.
D.People’s paying no attention to low-skilled jobs.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，世界各国的政府都鼓励年轻人接受高等教育，通过高等教育可以实现社会阶层的流通和变动。但是这一做法却带来一个人们不愿意看到的结果，那就是人们对低技术工作的忽视甚至歧视。
29.What does the underlined sentence “But it hasn’t worked out like that.” in Paragraph 3 suggest？（ ）
A.Low-skilled jobs haven’t increased.
B.Low-skilled jobs haven’t decreased.
C.High-skilled jobs haven’t increased.
D.High-skilled jobs haven’t decreased.
解析：B 句意理解题。第二段提到，早在20世纪90年代初，很多报道就预言未来低技术工作将大幅减少；根据画线句下文可知，低技术工作不但没有减少，而且还在增加。
30.According to Professor Caroline Lloyd， people’s dissatisfaction in the labour market results from .（ ）
A.lack of good jobs B.lack of career advice
C.their high expectations D.their low qualifications
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第五、六段可知，Caroline Lloyd教授认为，人们进入劳动力市场后的失望和不满主要是由于他们过高的期望造成的。
31.What should be taught to children according to the author？（ ）
A.You must aim high. B.Every job has its value.
C.You’re destined to be great. D.Top jobs are more rewarding.
解析：B 推理判断题。作者在倒数第二、三段表明，如果我们总是鼓励孩子要志向远大，成就伟业，那么势必会造成两个不利的结果：一是理想与现实之间的差距所带来的失落；二是低层工作将没有人愿意去做。这显然是作者（包括我们）不希望看到的。由此判断，他会更支持每种工作都有它的价值。
D
People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt — when spending money. This is called the moral tax or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase from its payment. However， the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift — an item you didn’t have to pay for at all！
As a result， the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include luxury goods that appear overpriced and unjustified and therefore induce particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.
Curiously， it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift （or the guilt taken away）. Consider the following example as an illustration.
For weeks， Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer boots. They look incredibly stylish and go beautifully with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the boots but doesn’t think the purchase is justified. After all， she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still， Anne makes sure to mention the boots to her husband Alex， and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to unwrap a large box containing the boots. She is delighted with the gift even though Alex bought it from their joint bank account.
Looking at it from an economic point of view， Anne’s delight doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband， it doesn’t matter who buys the boots. The financial loss is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary？ Why， it all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf， Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious boots guilt-free.
The psychology of financial choices suggests that the best gifts are things that people really want but deny themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures？ Unfortunately， that’s the one question you need to answer yourself.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了一个全新的概念——moral tax。它指人们在消费时伴随金钱损失出现的内疚等负面情绪。文中Anne通过一种巧妙的办法，既获得了自己想要的商品，同时避免了moral tax。
32.What do we know about the best gifts according to the author？（ ）
A.They bring no feeling of guilt.
B.They bring much pain of payment.
C.They are usually cheap but excellent.
D.They make you feel good upon purchase.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，在作者看来，我们想要的最佳礼物通常是标价较高、感觉有点奢侈的商品，同时会带给我们较高的道德税和支付时的内疚感。用最简单的话概括，就是我们自己舍不得花钱买、又特别想得到的东西。
33.Why does Anne not buy the boots herself？（ ）
A.She doesn’t like them indeed.
B.She can’t find enough reasons.
C.She decides to put off satisfaction.
D.She wants a gift from her husband.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，Anne非常喜欢一双靴子，但她不能下决心购买，因为她已经有三双靴子。也就是说她没有足够的理由来说服自己作出购买决定。
34.What will an economist think of Anne’s delight？（ ）
A.Unreal. B.Interesting.
C.Ridiculous. D.Reasonable.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，从经济学的角度来看，Anne的快乐没有任何道理，因为她丈夫买和她自己买都是花他们的共有财产。
35.What is the key to Anne’s delight？（ ）
A.Avoiding the bad feeling.
B.Not spending her money.
C.Receiving an unexpected gift.
D.Getting what she really wants.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，作者认为，Anne快乐的关键，在于她避开了自己掏钱买靴子时必然出现的内疚感、负罪感等负面情绪。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
After a decade studying how creative people do what they do，the answer is simple： they work.36.（ ） Creativity is best thought of as a kind of effort， not an abstract thing — it’s what goes on when you are trying to solve a problem.The problem could be writing a poem， making a song， designing a website， anything.37.（ ）
The biggest difference between you and Picasso， or Beyoncé， or whoever your creative heroes are is that they are/were more hard-working than you.They spend more time in front of a canvas， or guitar， or computer， working away at applying their minds and souls to specific things.
38.（ ） Pick a problem you care about and get to work.If you don’t care about anything， your problem isn’t creativity， it’s apathy.If you start things and give up， your problem isn’t creativity， it’s dedication.Can’t focus for long？ Then learn the skill of concentration.
39.（ ） Instead they apprenticed （当学徒） with masters in a craft and worked with them.They did the simple work until they had the skills needed to do more sophisticated work.They learned how to develop ideas and deliver finished work by working.There is no other way.
40.（ ） Pick any creative hero， and any creative work they’re famous for， and investigate how many sketches， or drafts， or attempts they had to make to get it right.They may have had flashes of insight here and there， but those came while they were working hard.Ideas are cheap， it’s the passion to make ideas real that’s rare.
A.Don’t believe me？
B.Want to be more creative？
C.No one wants to hear this， but it’s obvious.
D.The key to creativity lies in thinking differently.
E.It’s true that everyone wants to be creative in whatever they do.
F.But no creative person in history was creative independent of working on some kind of project.
G.Few people in history that we call creatives today read books or took courses on creativity.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。那些天才人物是怎样变得具有创造性的呢？作者经过多年研究，获得的答案是——工作。
36.C 上文陈述了一个让我们有点失望的事实——创造无捷径，创造源于工作和实干，因此C项符合语境。
37.F 上文都在说明辛勤工作对于获得创意的重要性，并列举了诸多领域，F项接着说明没有哪个领域的人可以不通过辛勤工作而变得有创造性。
38.B 下文具体告诉我们怎样做才能变得具有创造性，因此B项符合语境。
39.G 下文告诉我们人们通过实践不断获得提高，Instead一词与上文所说情况相反，因此G项符合语境。
40.A 下文作者在努力证明自己的观点——创意源于实践，因此A项符合语境。

64.positively 空后的correlate是动词，因此这里应用一个副词来修饰它。positively correlate表示“呈正相关”。
65.affects 本句主语为动词-ing短语Working long hours，根据下文可知，应用一般现在时，故填affects。

1.你是否认为ChatGPT会取代人类？
2.说明理由。
注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；
2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
Will ChatGPT replace humans？ My answer is simple and clear： No， it’s absolutely impossible.
For one thing， I don’t think ChatGPT has the ability to create like a human. Even though it can answer questions and write articles， it actually produces contents based only on what it has been fed. It isn’t that creative and original as you imagine. For another， it lacks genuine feeling and real emotion. When it comes to offering personalized service， in no sense can a cold and dull machine beat a human with flesh and blood.
My final conclusion is： Just like the Internet and smartphones， ChatGPT will serve us instead of replacing us. If used properly， it will make our lives easier， better， and more pleasant.
第二节（满分25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Rajan， a young female elephant， was saved from illegal hunters. Since it could not be released back into the wild at the time， it was placed in an elephant rescue center. Rajan was cared for by Harold， who came from England. Rajan grew up under his care and soon became a close friend. Until one day， Harold was suddenly forced to return to his home country.
Rajan was very depressed. She didn’t want to leave her cage for months and had a hard time getting along with other elephants. Harold’s sudden departure made her very sad. Nothing or anyone could comfort her. Because she had been living in a shelter for years， she had the chance to live in the wild again. Soon Rajan’s new keepers found her a good home among an elephant herd（兽群） in Kaziranga National Park. It was an exciting event for the elephants who had been living in the shelter for a long time.
This created tense moments when Rajan was introduced to the herd. Her encounter with another elephant almost ended in a fight. It’s true that elephants sometimes fight for dominance in the group. Fortunately， Rajan quickly adapted to the environment. No one would ever expect she would reunite with Harold again.
But Harold longed for India all the time， especially his best friend Rajan. He wanted to know how Rajan was doing， so he decided to go on a tourist trip in search of Rajan. It had been nine years since he left the elephant. His former colleagues at the elephant rescue center were excited by Harold’s plan to find Rajan and they had been able to more or less tell Harold where to find the elephant.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
They decided to accompany Harold to Kaziranga National Park.
Harold kept talking with the workers in the park to know more about Rajan.
参考范文：
They decided to accompany Harold to Kaziranga National Park. When they got there， it didn’t take an hour to meet their first group of elephants. Harold stood in the river， put his hand to his mouth， and called Rajan’s name. Hearing the familiar voice， Rajan was running to Harold as quickly as possible. There were heartfelt hugs and teary-eyed crowds watching as the two friends finally enjoyed their friendship again.
Harold kept talking with the workers in the park to know more about Rajan. They told Harold that Rajan’s acceptance into the group wasn’t easy at first， but now everything was OK. What made Harold surprised was that Rajan gave birth to a baby elephant — his best friend had become an adult elephant and started a family. Feeling greatly relieved， Harold could now return to the UK with peace of mind. The meeting went well and the surprise was even better. Such a meeting between old friends reminds us not to forget to connect with our old friends from time to time.

复习长难句
①This is because your career is a very important part of who you are.
②The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s overall work personality.
③The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school， before you make any choices about your further education.
④The career you have defines your life， and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
【我的发现】
1.句①②③为 主从复合句 ；在句①中，because引导的是 表语 从句，who引导的是 宾语 从句，都是名词性从句；在句②中，that引导的是 定语 从句，修饰先行词code；在句③中，while引导的是 表语 从句，before引导的是 状语 从句。
2.句④为并列复合句，and连接的是 并列 句，you have是 定语 从句，修饰先行词The career，引导词为关系代词 that/which ，在从句中作宾语，被省略。
一、长难句的基本构成
英语的长句子之所以长，是因为含有较多较长的修饰成分，或是包含多个并列句或从句。长句子的理解与一般句子相似，主要包括句法结构、语义逻辑和语篇功能三个方面。理解长句的基础是厘清句子的结构层次，这需要学习者熟悉了解英语的基本句型，在此基础上抓住长句子的主干，即句子的主语和谓语，然后再逐层梳理分析长句中其他成分的层次关系。
①If you want to hold a koala， you have to go to certain licensed zoos where animal experts make sure that the koalas selected for each session are in a good state for human contact and that they are handled for only a limited time and on a limited frequency of occasions.
【分析】 该句的主干是一个主谓状结构（you have to go to zoos），if引导的是条件状语从句，where 后面直到句尾是个很长的定语从句，修饰zoos。这个定语从句之所以长，是因为其中含有两个由that引导的宾语从句。
【句意】 如果想抱抱考拉，你得去那些有执照的动物园。那里的动物专家会确保挑选出来的考拉状态良好、适合与人接触，游客爱抚考拉的时长和频率也有限制。
②But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well， because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability， and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
【分析】 本句第一层从because分开，前面的主句为“主系表”结构，because后面直到句尾是一个“主谓宾”结构的原因状语从句，用来说明“这项工作很有意义”的理由。第二层，原因状语从句内部包含两个由that引导的宾语从句，作show的宾语。第三层，两个that引导的宾语从句是并列关系，也都是“主系表”结构。
【句意】 但以任何标准来看，这项工作对我们都是值得的；因为它表明，我们是关注世界稳定的全球公民，我们对他人负有责任，我们为建立人类命运共同体做好了准备。
二、如何处理长难句
1.据谓语，找主语
一般情况下，一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者（主语），我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且，如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词，则该句可以是并列句或复合句（并列谓语动词的情况除外）。
（2023·新课标Ⅱ卷）Naming each nature experience creates a usable language， which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.
【分析】 本句的主语为：Naming each nature experience，谓语为creates；本句包含双重定语从句，which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰前半句话，在这一定语从句中又嵌入了一个that引导的定语从句来修饰activities。
【句意】 为每一种自然体验命名可以创造一种可用的语言，来帮助人们认识并参与对他们来说最满意和最有意义的活动。
2.提主干，去枝叶
一般情况下，一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息，从句、状语和定语等所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来，就不能完全把握句子的核心意义，从而导致思维混乱，主次不分。
（2023·全国乙卷）If you want to tell the history of the whole world， a history that does not privilege one part of humanity， you cannot do it through texts alone， because only some of the world has ever had texts， while most of the world， for most of the time， has not.
【分析】 本句的主干为：you cannot do it through texts alone；本句包含的从句非常多且复杂，If引导条件状语从句，a history that ...为同位语从句，修饰前面条件状语从句中的history，because引导原因状语从句，while为表转折关系的连词，其前后成对比关系。
【句意】 如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一部不仅仅讲述特权阶层者的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来完成，因为世界上只有一部分人有过文本，而世界上的大部分人，在大部分时间里，并没有文本。
3.寻关联，辨逻辑
一些长句其实是由若干分句组成的并列句或复合句，而这些并列句或复合句之间需要一些关联词来连接。如果我们找准这些关联词，就能够弄清楚句与句之间的逻辑关系，分别弄清主句的意义和从句的意义，对长句的理解就容易多了。要掌握此方法，必须对英语中常见的关联词谙熟于心。
Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self-growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.
【分析】 本句为复合句，句中Whether引导主语从句，as 引导原因状语从句，how引导的从句作介词of 的宾语。
【句意】 你与教授相处是否融洽对你的自身发展有很大影响，因为这是衡量你是否尊重权威和服从要求的标准。
4.看搭配，防分隔
有时一个长句或难句是由一个或多个搭配构成，而且这些搭配中常常出现分隔现象。学生若受分隔现象的干扰而看不清句子的本来面目，对句意的理解就会发生偏差。
①Some companies have made the manufacturing of clean and safe products， to some degree， their main selling points and emphasize it in their advertising.
【分析】 本句是一个“主语＋谓语＋宾语＋宾语补足语”句型，“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”意为“使……成为……”，只不过宾语和宾语补足语被to some degree隔开而已。
【句意】 一些公司把卫生的、安全的产品的生产，从某种程度上说，当作他们的卖点，并在广告中强调这一点。
②The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.
【分析】 本句的主干为The fact does not mean that ...emotions，其中，that they do not experience emotions 是宾语从句，作mean 的宾语。that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another为fact 的同位语从句，其中as do members of another 是状语从句，助动词do 位于主语members of another 前形成倒装，主语后省略了express their emotions。
【句意】 一种文化背景下的人不像另一种文化背景下的人一样直率地表达他们的情感，这一事实并不意味着他们没有这些情感。
【即时演练】 分析下列长难句并翻译
①It’s an amazing accomplishment and one we cannot achieve without generous support from individuals， corporations， and other social organizations.
【分析】 本句为复合句。其中，one指代前面的 accomplishment ，后面为定语从句，修饰先行词 one ；且从句使用了cannot和without，表示双重否定。
【句意】 这是一个惊人的成就，一个没有来自个人、公司和其他社会组织的慷慨的支持，我们就不可能取得的成就。
②Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
【分析】 本句为复合句。主句lay the tube in place为 祈使 句；so that引导 目的 状语从句，从句是由and连接的并列句。
【句意】 接着把管子放在恰当的位置，使得管子的一端一直放在杯子里并且管子的其余部分向上延伸到洞的外部。
③If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping， I would have laughed heartily.
【分析】 本句为主从复合句。if引导的是 条件状语 从句，因表示与过去事实相反的假设，所以本句中条件句使用过去完成时。此外，从句中还包含一个由that引导的 宾语 从句。
【句意】 如果三年前有人告诉我，我会用大部分的周末时间来野营，我会开怀大笑。
④Little did I know that I would discover my love for ASL.
【分析】 本句为 倒装 句，little为否定词，当否定词置于句首时，句子要用部分倒装。
【句意】 我不知道我竟然会爱上美式手语。
⑤What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past.
【分析】 此句中，What 引导的是 主语 从句，作主语。此外，I had experienced in the past为 定语 从句，修饰先行词anything。
【句意】 我所看到的和我之前经历的完全不同。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·长沙高二下质检）What’s really behind the global rise in working longer and longer hours？ We are all workers， whether we work in an office as managers， in a hot and noisy factory as workers or as housewives at home.
The important message is：Work is for man and not man for work！ Through work， man develops himself， his personality and his sense of self-worth.It is also through work that man produces goods and services contributing and participating in the development and society.
According to latest International Labor Organization statistics， more than 400 million employed people worldwide work 49 or more hours per week.
In a recent interview with The New York Times， even Elon Musk， CEO of Tesla， felt moved to describe his 47th birthday spent locked in his factory， pulling an all-nighter.“No friends， nothing，” he said.It might have been just another day in another 120-hour work week.“This has really come at the expense of seeing my kids.And seeing friends，” he added.
Hustling over long hours and weekends has become a staple of start-up culture in Silicon Valley — hence， it has also filtered out to many parts of the world.
The problem is that this “long hours” culture likely defeats the purpose of getting more things done， or at least puts a very high price on doing them.There is plenty of evidence that working overtime reduces your productivity， and makes you feel and actually be less healthy.It also makes you more likely to develop a whole range of diseases.
Keep in mind that working for days at a time is not smart， even if you are Elon Musk.The news of his unhealthy work routine has not been well received by investors， and Tesla’s stock fell 8.8% shortly after the NYT interview， amid suspicions of Musk’s poor mental health.

3.What does the author think of working long hours？（ ）
A.It’s valuable. B.It’s harmful.
C.It’s necessary. D.It’s understandable.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，作者认为长时间工作不利于完成更多的任务，这样做会付出很高的代价，也就是说作者认为长时间工作是有害的。

A.Very satisfied. B.Very confused.

（2024·烟台高二下月考）Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success， but research has found that moderation （适度） also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University， researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts， sciences， and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance， especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter， while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer，” says Art Markman， a professor of psychology at the University of Texas， Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work，” he says. “Also， there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So， when people do things to increase their life satisfaction， they also make themselves more effective at work.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。许多人认为，最大限度地工作是成功的秘诀，但研究发现，适度工作也能取得不错的成果。
5.What does Ellen Langer’s study show？（ ）
A.It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist.
