(一)赏用词之妙
1．She has overcome a number of obstacles in nursing her business to the success it is today.
赏析：本句中的nurse为词性活用，其本义是名词“护士”，此处用作动词，表示抽象的“培育，培养，打理”，生动形象地表现了张悦对公司的精心管理。
2．Seeing her peers who also dream of success and independence, Zhang has mixed feelings.
赏析：此处的“mixed feelings”表达了张悦对目前同龄人创业的现象喜忧参半的复杂心情，为下文提出建议做好了铺垫。

2．What really matters is a sound business plan, access to capital, and good management and negotiating skills.
赏析：本句中的主语从句What really matters在此起到加强语气的作用，突出强调了要想在事业上取得成功的真正关键点是什么。

真正重要的是，我们应该对生活保持乐观。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．Now chairwoman of her own company, Zhang Yue is fond of saying，“The early bird catches the worm.”
赏析：此处引用了谚语“The early bird catches the worm (早起的鸟儿有虫吃)”，反映出张悦所具备的吃苦耐劳的创业精神。
2．She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the start up bug.
赏析：本句中运用了习语“be bitten by the ...bug”，表示“对某事物着迷，热衷于某事物”，生动地描写了目前越来越多的年轻人开始自己创业的现象。

③One of the most exciting things for those ________________________________ is exploring new destinations and encountering refreshing scenery.对于旅游迷而言，最兴奋的事之一莫过于发掘新去处，游览新风景。
(四)赏描摹之韵(动作与心理描写)
As she spoke, Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking. She couldn't, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her. They stared back, their blank faces giving no clue as to what they would say next.
赏析：第一句中使用了一系列的动词(短语)：spoke, put her hands behind her back, hide, shaking，用词灵活，生动地描绘出镜头前张悦的紧张心情。第二句中使用了衔接副词however，通过对比两个hide，进一步突出了她无法掩饰的紧张心情。最后一句中独立主格结构的使用，成功地营造了令人紧张的氛围，前后映衬，相得益彰。

如今，随着科技水平的发展，工作更换、职业更替的速度惊人。在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实了。但是在被职业抛弃之前，你可以为未来的发展变化做好准备。选择主动学习还是被迫学习，完全取决于你自己。实际上，你才是自己职业生涯的老板，也只有你才能决定自己能做什么、能做多好。你准备好了吗？
Meet the New Boss：You
Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents' footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them.You'd follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop.You'd follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room.In your grandparents' time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement.How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents' footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn't practical anymore. One reason for this is technology.The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career.In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon.And then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best You might be lucky.These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring while you're still young and healthy.But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”．
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do, but this is hardly a recipe for great career success.Instead, you'd better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.You'll need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver，and a hard worker.Keep doing this, and you can become an expert or a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.
Jobs and occupations come and go at an amazing pace these days.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.What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field？You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained in order to qualify to work in another field.In fact, in all likelihood, you will have to do this multiple times.But you can be prepared for developments and changes before you are thrown out of a career.It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn.
In short, if you want to succeed in a 21st century career, you will have to develop new essential skills.Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely.The truth is that you are Are you ready for this

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Ke'Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old's “Moana”-themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke'Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home-based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks' notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke'Nyzjah's first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of videos online to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I started seeing other people's decorated cakes online, that's when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker，” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She's constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It's a little difficult having to keep up with both my website and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”
Ke'Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. “She's like my biggest supporter. She's made me who I am. I've come to realize that I am an incredible person.”

All the efforts you put into studying at university may not have been enough — because robots could be coming for your job.A new study finds that as many as 800 million workers could be replaced by robots by 2030.
The study from the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that between 400 million and 800 million individuals could be replaced by automation (自动化) or robots and need to find new jobs by 2030 around the world.It estimates that 30 percent of the hours people spend on working globally could have been automated by that time.
Those most affected will be people who work in “predictable environments” doing tasks such as operating machines and preparing fast food.Those who make a living by collecting and processing data also face a high risk of being replaced by robots.But people who work in less predictable environments such as gardeners, plumbers, and childcare staff face a smaller risk, because their roles are technically difficult to be automated and often command relatively lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition (商业提议)．
However, it's not all doom (厄运) for the future of employment.The study notes that automation sometimes allows workers to remain employed in a different position.“Even when some tasks are automated, the employment rate in those occupations may not decline because workers may perform new tasks，” McKinsey & Company wrote in a release on its website.
It noted that China has the largest number of employees who would need to switch occupations, up to 100 million if automation is adopted rapidly, or 12 percent of the 2030 workforce.The numbers are higher in more advanced economies, with up to one-third of the 2030 workforce in America and Germany needing to switch occupations, along with nearly half of the 2030 workforce in Japan.Countries which fail to prepare workers for transition to new jobs will feel the impact of a rise in unemployment and depressed wages, according to the study.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究报告显示，预计到2030年，全球多达8亿的工人将会被机器人或自动化设备所取代。
√
5．Why will lots of people need to find new jobs by 2030 around the world
A．They don't put efforts into their study at university.
B．The world's working population is on the steady rise.
C．They will be paid less with the development of technology.
D．Robots or automation will take the place of their positions.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，到2030年世界上有很多人需要找新工作是因为机器人或自动化(设备)将取代他们的工作。
√
6．Which will be the least likely to be replaced by robots
A．Machine operation.
B．Fast food cooking.
C．Childcare in kindergarten.
D．Data collection.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，在更难以预测的环境中工作的人，如园丁、水管工和儿童看护人员，被取代的风险较小。
√
7．What is the study's statement about jobs' being replaced by robots mainly based on
A．Estimated figures.　　 B．Public opinions.
C．Financial reports. D．Website contents.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段以及最后一段可知，这项关于工作将被机器人所取代的研究声明主要是基于预估数字。
√
8．Which section of a newspaper does the article belong to
A．Education. B．Business.
C．Lifestyle. D．Technology.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究报告——预计到2030年，全球多达8亿的工人将会被机器人或自动化设备所取代。由此可推知，文章属于报纸的科技部分。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Having a business in retirement has numerous advantages. You can generate the extra income. And as your own boss, you will have the flexibility. Also, you'll have the opportunity to learn new things and meet new people. 9 Here are the tips.
Understand your target market. Before starting your business, conduct market research to know the actual demand for your product or service. The demand for your business's offerings can significantly influence its success. 10 With this information, you'll be able to tailor your services and products to suit your customers' needs.
Consider your financial needs. 11 But they are usually the most challenging. Without sufficient financial resources, your business may have a hard time finding its footing. When determining your financial needs, you must be realistic.
____ Startups usually have personal investments by business owners. If you have adequate savings from your working years, you may want to use them to fund your business venture. Otherwise, you can explore an alternative funding source like a loan.
Have a business plan. Many small business owners underestimate the importance of a business plan. 13 But this is not true. Although business plans take a long time to develop and require a significant amount of research and data, they are essential for both small and large enterprises.
12
A．Look at your funding sources.
B．Find business cooperation if necessary.
C．They feel it's unnecessary and a waste of time.
D．So how can you turn this fantasy into a success
E．You are able to seek outside funding for your venture.

Ke'Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2 year old's “Moana” themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke'Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks' notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke'Nyzjah's first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of videos online to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I started seeing other people's decorated cakes online, that's when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker，” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She's constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It's a little difficult having to keep up with both my website and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”
Ke'Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. “She's like my biggest supporter. She's made me who I am. I've come to realize that I am an incredible person.”

All the efforts you put into studying at university may not have been enough — because robots could be coming for your job.A new study finds that as many as 800 million workers could be replaced by robots by 2030.
The study from the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that between 400 million and 800 million individuals could be replaced by automation (自动化) or robots and need to find new jobs by 2030 around the world.It estimates that 30 percent of the hours people spend on working globally could have been automated by that time.
Those most affected will be people who work in “predictable environments” doing tasks such as operating machines and preparing fast food.Those who make a living by collecting and processing data also face a high risk of being replaced by robots.But people who work in less predictable environments such as gardeners, plumbers, and childcare staff face a smaller risk, because their roles are technically difficult to be automated and often command relatively lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition (商业提议)．
However, it's not all doom (厄运) for the future of employment.The study notes that automation sometimes allows workers to remain employed in a different position.“Even when some tasks are automated, the employment rate in those occupations may not decline because workers may perform new tasks，” McKinsey & Company wrote in a release on its website.
It noted that China has the largest number of employees who would need to switch occupations, up to 100 million if automation is adopted rapidly, or 12 percent of the 2030 workforce.The numbers are higher in more advanced economies, with up to one third of the 2030 workforce in America and Germany needing to switch occupations, along with nearly half of the 2030 workforce in Japan.Countries which fail to prepare workers for transition to new jobs will feel the impact of a rise in unemployment and depressed wages, according to the study.
5．Why will lots of people need to find new jobs by 2030 around the world
A．They don't put efforts into their study at university.
B．The world's working population is on the steady rise.
C．They will be paid less with the development of technology.
D．Robots or automation will take the place of their positions.
6．Which will be the least likely to be replaced by robots
A．Machine operation.
B．Fast food cooking.
C．Childcare in kindergarten.
D．Data collection.
7．What is the study's statement about jobs' being replaced by robots mainly based on
A．Estimated figures.　　 B．Public opinions.
C．Financial reports. D.Website contents.
8．Which section of a newspaper does the article belong to
A．Education. B.Business.
C．Lifestyle. D.Technology.
