Passage 1（25-26高三上·辽宁·期末）
My love for computers began at five when I watched my uncle play Heroes of Might and Magic Ⅲ. The fantasy world and armies engaged me instantly. Soon, I was wisely commanding soldiers in HeroesⅢ, systematically building bases in StarCraft, and ambitiously founding civilizations in Age of Empires. A turning point came when my mom bought our first computer with Windows 98. While most kids used the friendlier Windows XP, figuring out Windows 98’s problems sharpened my skills early on.
Before I knew it, I became the neighborhood’s go-to for computer help — installing (安装) games, fixing crashes, setting up LAN parties, and arranging port forwarding for online gaming. Unknowingly, I was enhancing IT support skills long before I understood tech as a career. In high school, online forums (论坛) about game “modifications” awakened my curiosity, leading me to learn game protection unlocking.
Post-high school, I was set on Computer Engineering, but my Asian family pushed for a “respectable” — medicine. I gave in a little, spending two years in medicine before switching to Economics to please everyone. Four years of economics didn’t make me a Wall Street expert, but concepts like opportunity cost and comparative advantage made it clear that I was in the wrong field. With IT growing fast and software engineers in high demand, according to economic logic, software engineering offered higher yields given my talent.
I then lived a double life — an economics student by day, and a self-taught programmer by night, studying hard at courses and building side projects. Today, I’m a full-qualified software engineer, and it feels like coming home. That wide-eyed kid from Heroes III finally found his place, even with a winding journey. Every line of code reflects my path: curiosity from gaming, problem-solving from neighborhood IT help, and analytical thinking from economics. Passion always finds a way no matter how much family urges “reason”.
1．How did online games impact the author
A．He became a professional gamer. B．His strategic thinking was developed.
C．He grasped Windows XP. D．His ambition took shape.
2．What does the author imply in paragraph 2
A．Goals serve as inspirations. B．Curiosity defeats inner fear.
C．Dreams begin with planning. D．Hands-on practice helps a lot.
3．Why does the author mention the relevant economic concepts
A．To combine economics with IT.
B．To show IT industry’s potential.
C．To prove the reasonableness of his career shift.
D．To demonstrate his limited mastery of economic logic.
4．What does the author think of his winding journey
A．It let him master various skills. B．It made him famous in his field.
C．It taught him to be open-minded. D．It helped him build social bonds.
Passage 2（25-26高三上·重庆·期中）
Gen Z is changing the rules of work, and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025. According to a new Glassdoor report, “career minimalism” is at the heart of this shift.
In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Zrespondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯).
The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Zentering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. “Management is not for everybody, and that’s okay,” he said, “but it is still seen as the best path for climbing the career ladder.”
What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move, not something good in its own right. Gen Z approaches life’s traditional milestones with “reasoned skepticism”. They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility.
If Gen Z isn’t less ambitious yet isn’t thrilled about corporate management, where’s that energy going The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57% of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (副业) compared to 48% of millennials and 31% of Gen Xers.
Side hustle s are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor… If people were truly passionate about their job, it wouldn’t pay anything. Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five.”
When Gen Zers do move into management, Glassdoor finds that they’ re rewriting the traditional book. Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment. They’ re not rejecting ambition — they’ re redirecting it toward sustainable career path s that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment.
5．Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3
A．To draw attention to a new concept.
B．To confirm the accuracy of the report.
C．To raise awareness of a worrying trend.
D．To offer another perspective on the survey.
6．What might a typical Gen Zer do
A．Make critical remarks. B．Leave work no later than 5.
C．Seek guidance from seniors. D．Avoid working with colleagues.
7．What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles
A．High pay and grand titles. B．Short hours and easy work.
C．Personal identity and flexibility. D．Benefits and working conditions.
8．What is the professional success defined by Gen Z
A．Earning money with meaning. B．Winning power through effort.
C．Dropping promotion for hobbies. D．Staying put for financial security.
Passage 3（2025·湖南株洲·一模）
Growing up in Cyprus, Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology. But it was a family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine. “My parents lost their first child because he had Down’s syndrome. He passed away when I was about seven years old,” she says. “And I guess that’s always been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14, she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK. “Despite being a student from a foreign country, I achieved A-levels in all my subjects, considered suitable for medicine,” she says. Now as a consultant surgeon at one of the busiest major trauma (创伤) units in England, Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’s main job is working with the major trauma team, but is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues. “When I’m a consultant, I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients, but also towards the team that I cooperate with,” she says. Working hard, she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons, who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage. “Find what you love doing day after day, because your professional career is a long time, and it takes a lot — probably like 20 or 30 years of your life. Therefore, it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it,” she says.
9．What inspired Elena to pursue a career in medicine
A．A childhood incident. B．Her desire for being different.
C．Her interest in biology. D．Encouragement from her parents.
10．What was one challenge Elena faced
A．Gaining acceptance from her patients.
B．Achieving A-levels in her English studies.
C．Obtaining good scores as a foreign student.
D．Reminding herself about her being a doctor.
11．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Respect from other surgeons. B．Elena’s main responsibilities.
C．Prejudice from Elena’s patients. D．Medical staff’s devotion to the job.
12．What is Elena’s advice on choosing a career
A．Make a long-term professional plan. B．Know your strengths and weaknesses.
C．Follow your passion and determination. D．Understand your career responsibilities.
Passage 4（2026·河北承德·一模）
A few weeks ago, an article by Nathan Heller in The New Yorker indicated “the end of the English major”, examining the trend of declining English departments nationwide and the cultural factors that lead students away from spending four years with the passion for Dickens and Shakespeare. Like every other humanities-lover on a college campus that day, I was swept away in the mass panic. My major was, according to a reputable English-major-loved publication, dead.
Heller focused on Arizona State University (ASU) and Harvard University, large “indicators”(higher education. I initially thought he ignored small liberal arts (文科) colleges, assuming English majors were safe at Allegheny College, where students supposedly came for the love of learning, not for middle management when they graduate. But data ruined this hope: Allegheny had 84 English majors (9% of all majors) in the spring semester of 2003, but just 20 (2.5%) now — a 72% drop in about 20 years matching the national trend.
Allegheny’s website fuels optimism, asking, “Why put your mind to just one thing ” and define itself as a “safe place of learning”, unlike ASU, which sees degrees as career stepping stones, or Harvard where, according to Heller, even an “unusual major” finds work. Yet campus reality in Allegheny differs Students get locked into majors early, “mind over major” loses to closed-off departments, and English majors fear unemployment, thinking they wasted time and money.
We need to reject the campus “disease”, Heller noted — pressuring students to choose “safeguard paths and dismissing humanities as “hobby-based”. The well-known author Kurt Vonnegut reminded you that the arts may not be the best way to “make a living” but “make life more bearable” and “make soul grow”. Not everybody can or should pursue a degree in chemistry, but it is increasingly clear to me that everybody would benefit from spending 20 credit hours reading, thinking about and discussing literature. While English majors may decline, their lessons live on. As the novelist Jonathan Lethem wrote, “Time change and men adapt.” Between “too bad” and “worst”, we can do better.
13．What phenomenon did Heller point out about English literature
A．Students’ fading love for it. B．Its limited research visions.
C．Students’ confusion about it. D．Its declining literary works.
14．Why did the author’s hope for Allegheny College fade
A．It closed most liberal arts majors. B．It valued career training more.
C．It admitted fewer English majors. D．It cared less about students’ likes.
15．What can be inferred from Allegheny’s website
A．It tried to learn from Harvard. B．It didn’t match its real situation.
C．It failed to ensure students’ safety. D．It didn’t promote critical thinking.
16．What does the author advocate in the last paragraph
A．Students should plan a unique life journey.
B．Schools must make English more inviting.
C．Students need to stick to their own purposes.
D．Schools ought to look beyond practical values.
Passage 5（24-25高二上·河南平顶山·月考）
I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I usually met with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “why ”. The short answer: I want to be a problem solver, and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person. In addition, I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
It’s the beginning of a new year, and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple (三个) majors. However, as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester, college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (《宪法》) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years. What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have when it be in your study, career, or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major involves. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you’ re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.
17．How do people tend to feel about the writer’s majors
A．Amazed or concerned. B．Satisfied or puzzled.
C．Ashamed or challenged. D．Impressed or confused.
18．What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science
A．His career planning for the future. B．His enthusiasm for the major.
C．The value of studying the Constitution. D．The influence of learning engineering.
19．What causes the hard situation of students with multiple majors
A．Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.
B．Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.
C．Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.
D．Making random choices without sufficient consideration.
20．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A．To explain the reasons for choosing a double major.
B．To promote the concept of multiple majoring.
C．To stress the significance of passion in multiple majoring.
D．To compare the gains and losses of multiple majoring.

【知识点】个人经历、记叙文、职业内容
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍作者受游戏启发爱上计算机，历经专业选择的波折，最终成为软件工程师的成长历程。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Soon, I was wisely commanding soldiers in HeroesⅢ, systematically building bases in StarCraft, and ambitiously founding civilizations in Age of Empires. (很快，我就能在《英雄无敌Ⅲ》里娴熟指挥士兵，在《星际争霸》里有条不紊地建造基地，还能在《帝国时代》里满怀雄心地建立文明。)”可知，各类游戏培养了作者的策略思维能力。故选B项。
2．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Before I knew it, I became the neighborhood’s go-to for computer help — installing (安装) games, fixing crashes, setting up LAN parties, and arranging port forwarding for online gaming. Unknowingly, I was enhancing IT support skills long before I understood tech as a career. (不知不觉间，我成了邻里间的电脑小能手——帮大家安装游戏、修复死机问题、搭建局域网派对，还为联机游戏设置端口转发。早在我将技术视作一份职业之前，这些实践就已经提升了我的信息技术支持能力。)”可知，作者通过动手实践提升了相关技能，这暗示实践的作用很大。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Four years of economics didn’t make me a Wall Street expert, but concepts like opportunity cost and comparative advantage made it clear that I was in the wrong field. With IT growing fast and software engineers in high demand, according to economic logic, software engineering offered higher yields given my talent. (四年的经济学学习没让我成为华尔街专家，但机会成本和比较优势这类概念让我清楚地意识到自己入错了行。从经济学逻辑来看，信息技术行业发展迅猛，软件工程师需求旺盛，结合我的天赋，软件工程领域能带来更高的回报。)”可知，作者提及经济学概念是为了证明自己转行的合理性。故选C项。
4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Every line of code reflects my path: curiosity from gaming, problem-solving from neighborhood IT help, and analytical thinking from economics. (每一行代码都映射着我的成长之路：源于游戏的好奇心、源于邻里电脑帮助的问题解决能力、源于经济学的分析思维。)”可知，作者认为曲折的求学和职业之路让他掌握了多种技能。故选A项。
正文翻译
我对电脑的热爱始于五岁，那时我看着叔叔玩《英雄无敌3》。那个奇幻的世界和千军万马瞬间就吸引了我。很快，我就能在《英雄无敌3》里运筹帷幄地指挥士兵，在《星际争霸》里有条不紊地建造基地，还能在《帝国时代》里满怀雄心地建立文明。转折点发生在妈妈给家里买了第一台装着Windows 98系统的电脑时。当大多数孩子都在用操作更友好的Windows XP系统时，摸索解决Windows 98的各种问题，早早地打磨了我的技术能力。
不知不觉间，我成了邻里间解决电脑问题的首选人 —— 帮大家安装游戏、修复系统崩溃、搭建局域网游戏派对，还为联机游戏设置端口转发。早在我还没把科技当成一份职业的时候，这些实践就已经在无形中提升了我的信息技术支持能力。高中时，关于游戏“模组修改”的网络论坛唤醒了我的好奇心，也让我开始学习游戏的解锁破解技术。
高中毕业后，我一心想学计算机工程，但我的亚裔家庭却执意让我选一份“体面”的职业 —— 医学。我稍微妥协了，在医学院读了两年，之后为了让所有人都满意，又转去了经济学专业。四年的经济学学习没能让我成为华尔街专家，但机会成本、比较优势这些概念，却让我清晰地意识到，自己入错了行。信息技术行业飞速发展，软件工程师的市场需求居高不下，从经济学逻辑来看，以我的天赋，软件工程领域能给我带来更高的回报。
从那以后，我开始了双面人生：白天是经济学专业的学生，晚上则是自学的程序员，拼命学习课程、做副业项目。如今，我已经成了一名持证上岗的软件工程师，这种感觉就像终于回到了家。那个当年在《英雄无敌3》里睁着好奇双眼的孩子，即便走过了一段曲折的路，最终也找到了属于自己的归宿。每一行代码，都映射着我的成长之路：源于游戏的好奇心、源于邻里电脑维修的问题解决能力，还有源于经济学的分析思维。无论家人如何用“理性”劝说，热爱总能找到属于自己的出路。
5．D 6．C 7．C 8．A
【知识点】职业内容、社会问题与社会现象、说明文
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨Gen Z职场新趋势。副业成为Gen Z实现自我价值的重要途径。他们对成功定义进行重思，追求财务与个人满足感的结合。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In Glassdoor’s survey of more than 1,000 U. S. professionals, a striking 68% of Gen Zrespondents said they wouldn’t pursue management if it weren’t for paycheck or title, signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice (圣杯). ( 在对1000多名美国专业人员进行的一项Glassdoor调查中，高达68%的Gen Z受访者表示，如果不是为了薪水或头衔，他们不会追求管理职位，这表明他们拒绝了几代人所推崇的传统企业晋升道路，并相信管理职位有点像一个有毒的圣杯。)”以及第三段提到“The survey, however, is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor. Daniel Zhao, chief economist for the company, told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z are entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did. (然而，这项调查与Glassdoor收集的其他数据有些不一致。该公司首席经济学家Daniel Zhao告诉《财富》杂志，早先的一份报告发现，Z世代进入管理层的人数与年长一代的比例相同。)”，前文说新调查显示Z世代对管理职位的态度，这里Daniel Zhao的话给出了与新调查不同的早先报告的情况，也就是提供了关于该调查的另一个视角。故选D。
6．细节理解题。根据第四段“They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration (他们渴望得到指导，并欢迎办公室内的合作)”可知，典型的Z世代会寻求长辈的指导。故选C。
7．细节理解题。根据第六段“Side hustles are central to Gen Z’s identity, offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply. For many, the “day job” simply finances the “passion project” — as one Glassdoor community member put it: “I always joke that I don’t dream of labor (副业对于 Z 世代而言至关重要，它们为他们提供了不同于本职工作、更具创意或更具参与性的表达方式。对许多人而言，“日常工作”仅仅是为了支撑起“热爱之事”所需的资金——正如一位 Glassdoor 社区成员所说：“我总是开玩笑说，我从未想过要从事一份工作……”)”可知，副业为Z世代人 提供了更具创意或更具参考性的表达方式，同时也提供了激情 ，因此Z世代在副业中考虑的因素有个人的身份认同和灵活性。故选C。
8．推理判断题。根据最后一段“They’re not rejecting ambition — they’re redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment. (他们并没有拒绝野心——他们正在将野心转向可持续的职业道路，这条道路既重视经济保障，也重视个人成就感。)”可知，Z世代定义的职业成功是既重视经济保障，也重视个人成就感即以有意义的方式赚钱。故选A。
正文翻译
Z世代正在改写职场规则，而这一变化的结果，正在2025年重新定义职业成功的内涵。求职网站玻璃门的一份最新报告显示，“职业极简主义” 正是这场转变的核心。
玻璃门对1000多名美国职场人士开展了调查，结果令人震惊：68%的Z世代受访者表示，如果不是为了薪水和头衔，他们不会追求管理岗位。这标志着他们拒绝了前几代人推崇的传统企业晋升之路，也意味着他们认为管理岗位某种程度上是一杯 “毒酒”。
然而，这份调查结果，与玻璃门收集的其他数据存在一定的出入。该公司首席经济学家丹尼尔 赵在接受《财富》杂志采访时表示，此前的一份报告发现，Z世代进入管理层的比例，与老一辈人当年持平。“管理岗位并不适合所有人，这没关系。”他说，“但它依然被视为职业晋升的最佳路径。”
这份新的调查表明，如今人们只把管理岗位看作一种职业晋升手段，而非其本身就具备价值。Z世代正以“理性的怀疑态度”看待人生中的传统里程碑事件。他们渴望得到职业指导，欢迎办公室内的团队协作，同时也希望终结朝九晚五的固化思维，拥抱工作的灵活性。
如果说Z世代并非没有野心，却又对企业管理岗位不感兴趣，那他们的精力都投向了哪里？这份报告引用了哈里斯民意调查的结果：目前57% 的Z世代都拥有一份副业，而千禧一代的这一比例为48%，X世代仅为31%。
副业是Z世代身份认同的核心，它能为他们提供主业无法给予的创意表达渠道和社会参与感。对很多人来说，“白天的主业”只是为“热爱的事业”提供资金支持 —— 正如玻璃门社区的一位用户所说：“我总开玩笑说，我的梦想从来不是打工。如果人们真的对自己的工作充满热爱，那这份工作本不该有报酬。热爱，是留给朝九晚五之外的私人时间的。”
玻璃门的调查发现，当Z世代真正走上管理岗位时，他们正在改写传统的管理规则。当下，Z世代正在重新思考职场成功的内涵。他们并非拒绝野心，只是将这份野心转向了可持续的职业道路 —— 一条同时兼顾经济保障与个人成就感的道路。
9．A 10．A 11．B 12．C

10．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that ‘I am the surgeon’.(埃琳娜谈到了她成功的职业生涯以及她作为一名女医生所遇到的挑战，包括有时不得不提醒对她表示怀疑的病人“我是外科医生”)”可知，埃琳娜面临的一个挑战是获得病人的接受。故选A项。
11．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Elena’ s main job is working with the major trauma team, but is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues. “When I’m a consultant, I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients, but also towards the team that I cooperate with,” she says. Working hard, she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons, who show great respect for her.(埃琳娜的主要工作是与主要创伤小组合作，但也参与了处理有严重手术问题的病人的小组。“当我是一名顾问时，我不仅要对我的病人负责，还要对我合作的团队负责，”她说。由于努力工作，她从未受到其他男外科医生的偏见，他们对她非常尊重)”可知，本段介绍了埃琳娜的主要职责。故选B项。
12．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘Find what you love doing day after day, because your professional career is a long time, and it takes a lot — probably like 20 or 30 years of your life.

埃琳娜在塞浦路斯长大，她总觉得自己和其他女孩不一样 —— 她对生物学有着浓厚的兴趣。而一场家庭悲剧，最终让她下定决心主修医学。“我的父母失去了他们的第一个孩子，因为他患有唐氏综合征。在我七岁左右的时候，他离开了人世。”她说，“我想这件事一直萦绕在我的心头，也让我渐渐萌生了学医的想法。”
14 岁左右，她就立志要去英国学医。“尽管我是一名来自外国的学生，但我所有科目的 A-level考试都取得了优异成绩，达到了学医的录取标准。”她说。如今，作为英格兰最繁忙的大型创伤中心之一的外科顾问医生，埃琳娜讲述了自己成功的职业生涯，以及作为一名女医生所遭遇的挑战 —— 有时，她甚至不得不提醒那些对她心存疑虑的患者：“我才是这里的外科医生。”
埃琳娜的主要工作是与大型创伤团队协作，同时也会参与救治患有严重外科疾病的患者团队。“作为一名顾问医生，我不仅要对我的患者负责，还要对与我合作的团队负责。”她说。凭借着兢兢业业的工作态度，她从未受到过其他男外科医生的偏见，所有人都对她充满了敬意。
埃琳娜并不避讳，身为女性，有时确实会让她觉得自己处于不利地位。“去找到你日复一日都热爱的事情吧，因为职业生涯是一段漫长的旅程，会占据你人生中20到30年的时间，需要你付出大量的精力。因此，去做你热爱的事，然后义无反顾地走下去，这一点至关重要。”她说。

【知识点】专业选择、说明文、社会问题与社会现象
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Heller在文章中指出全国英语专业衰落，作者以Allegheny学院为例印证此趋势，批判功利化校园风气，强调人文学科的价值。
13．细节理解题。根据第一段“A few weeks ago, an article by Nathan Heller in The New Yorker indicated “the end of the English major”, examining the trend of declining English department nationwide and the cultural factors that lead students away from spending four years with the passion for Dickens and Shakespeare.(几周前，《纽约客》杂志上纳森·赫勒的一篇文章指出“英语专业即将终结”，该文章探讨了全美范围内英语系招生人数不断减少的趋势，以及导致学生不再花四年时间专注于研究狄更斯和莎士比亚作品的文化因素)”可知，赫勒指出学生们对英语文学的喜爱逐渐减退。故选A。
14．细节理解题。根据第二段“But data ruined this hope: Allegheny had 84 English majors (9% of all majors) in the spring semester of 2003, but just 20 (2.5%) now — a 72% drop in about 20 years matching the national trend.(但数据却打破了这一希望：2003年春季学期，阿勒格尼学院有84名英语专业学生（占所有专业学生的9%），而如今仅有20名（占2.5%）——在大约20年的时间里，这一数字下降了72%，与全国的趋势相符)”可知，作者对阿勒格尼学院的期望未能实现是因为该学院招收的英语专业学生减少了。故选C。
15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Allegheny’s website fuels optimism, asking, “Why put your mind to just one thing ” and define itself as a “safe place of learning”, unlike ASU, which sees degrees as career stepping stones, or Harvard where, according to Heller, even an “unusual major” finds work. Yet campus reality in Allegheny differs Students get locked into majors early, “mind over major” loses to closed-off departments, and English majors fear unemployment, thinking they wasted time and money.(阿勒格尼学院的网站激发了人们的乐观情绪，上面问道：“为何要将心思仅集中在一件事上呢？”并宣称自己是一个“安全的学习之地”，这与亚利桑那州立大学不同，后者将学位视为职业发展的阶梯，而哈佛大学则认为，即便是“与众不同的专业”也能找到工作。然而，阿勒格尼学院的校园实际情况却与此不同。学生们很早就被限制在了某个专业里，“思想（兴趣）凌驾于专业之上”的理念在封闭的院系面前败下阵来，而英语专业的学生则担心失业，认为自己浪费了时间和金钱)”可知，官网与实际不符。故选B。
16．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We need to reject the campus “disease”, Heller noted — pressuring students to choose “safeguard paths and dismissing humanities as “hobby-based”. The well-known author Kurt Vonnegut reminded you that the arts may not be the best way to “make a living” but “make life more bearable” and “make soul grow”. Not everybody can or should pursue a degree in chemistry, but it is increasingly clear to me that everybody would benefit from spending 20 credit hours reading, thinking about and discussing literature.(赫勒指出，我们需要摒弃校园里的这种“弊病”——迫使学生选择“稳妥的道路”，并将人文科学视为“纯粹的爱好”。著名作家库尔特·冯内古特提醒大家，艺术或许并非“谋生的最佳途径”，但它能“让生活更容易忍受”、能“让灵魂成长”。并非每个人都能或者都应该攻读化学学位，但在我看来，每个人都从花 20 个学分时间阅读、思考和讨论文学作品中受益)”可知，作者在最后一段倡导的是学校应当超越实用价值的范畴。故选D。

几周前，内森 赫勒在《纽约客》上发表的一篇文章提出了“英语专业的终结”这一观点。文章探讨了全美范围内英语系持续衰落的趋势，以及导致学生们不愿再花四年时间沉浸在狄更斯与莎士比亚的热爱中的文化因素。那天，大学校园里每一个热爱人文学科的人，都陷入了集体恐慌。按照这份备受英语专业爱好者推崇的权威刊物的说法，我所学的专业，已经“消亡”了。
赫勒的研究主要聚焦于亚利桑那州立大学和哈佛大学这两个高等教育的重要“风向标”。起初我以为，他忽略了小型文理学院，觉得阿勒格尼学院的英语专业应该还安然无恙 —— 毕竟，据说这里的学生是为了热爱学习而来，而非为了毕业后进入中层管理岗位。但数据击碎了我的幻想：2003年春季学期，阿勒格尼学院有84名英语专业学生，占全校专业总人数的9%；而如今仅剩20人，仅占2.5%。短短20年间，人数下降了72%，与全国趋势完全吻合。
阿勒格尼学院的官网营造出一派乐观的氛围，上面写着“为何要将思想局限于一件事上？”，并将自己定义为“安全的学习之地”。这与亚利桑那州立大学截然不同 —— 后者将学位视为职业的垫脚石；也与哈佛不同，用赫勒的话来说，在哈佛，即便是“冷门专业”的学生也能找到工作。然而，阿勒格尼学院的校园现实却与宣传大相径庭。学生们很早就被固定在各个专业里，“思想重于专业”的理念在封闭的院系体系面前不堪一击，英语专业的学生们担心毕业即失业，觉得自己浪费了时间和金钱。
赫勒指出，我们必须摒弃校园里的这种“弊病”—— 逼迫学生选择“稳妥的道路”，将人文学科贬为“基于爱好的无用之学”。著名作家库尔特 冯内古特曾提醒我们，艺术或许不是“谋生”的最佳方式，却能“让生活更有温度”，能“让灵魂成长”。不是每个人都能、或者都应该去攻读化学学位，但我越来越清晰地认识到，每个人都能从花20个学分去阅读、思考、讨论文学作品的过程中有所收获。英语专业的人数或许在减少，但它所传递的内核永远不会消亡。正如小说家乔纳森 勒瑟姆所写：“时代在变，人亦会适应。”在“糟糕”与“最坏”之间，我们总能做得更好。

【知识点】专业选择、夹叙夹议
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者选择机械工程和政治科学作为双专业的原因，以及对于选择双专业或多专业学生的建议。
17．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I’m usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated “why ” (我主修机械工程和政治学。当有人听到我的专业时，我通常会得到两种反应。 首先是一个小小的微笑，嘴上挂着“超级成功者”这个词。第二个是困惑的表情，然后是夸张的“为什么？”)”可知，作者的专业往往给人深刻印象(impressed)或者让人感到困惑(confused)。故选D项。
18．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (《宪法》) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation. (我希望第一天就有人告诉我的是，如果你对某件事充满热情，那这件事情就不会像工作。政治学可能具有挑战性，但对我来说，阅读《宪法》并看到每个词对我们解释的影响就很有趣)”可知，是作者对政治学的热爱(enthusiasm)使他喜欢学习政治学。故选B项。
19．推理判断题。根据第三段中“This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.(这听起来可能很难接受，但是如果因为你认为你在和同龄人竞争，所以你主修双学位或三学位，你只会让自己陷入困境。如果你是为了在简历上打个分数，不要双修或三修，因为那样你接下来的四年生活将是人间地狱)”可知，为了和同龄人竞争而选择多个专业会让自己陷入困境，所以是这种竞争动机(competitive motivation)导致了多专业学生的困境。故选A项。
20．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work.(我希望第一天就有人告诉我的是，如果你对某件事充满热情，那这件事情就不会像工作)”和最后一段“Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major involves. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you’ re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.(当涉及到攻读双专业或三专业的计划时，始终要思考你的“理由”。因为归根结底，做功课的人是你 —— 所以在这个过程中，尽量享受你正在做的事情，因为它是值得的)”可知，作者借用自己的经历告诉我们，在学习多个专业时，热情(passion)可以让我们享受这一过程，强调了热情对于主修多专业的重要性。故选C项。
正文翻译
我主修机械工程与政治学双专业。每当别人听到我的专业，通常会有两种反应。第一种是嘴角泛起一丝浅笑，话到嘴边就差说出“学霸”两个字。第二种则是一脸困惑，紧接着夸张地问一句：“为什么要学这两个？”简短的答案是：我想成为一个能解决问题的人，而工程学教会了我如何成为这样的人。除此之外，我也希望自己能拥有更宏观的视野。
新的一年刚刚开始，很多大一新生都计划着修双学位甚至三学位。然而，我们大多数人在第一个秋季学期结束后就会很快意识到，大学生活的内容远比想象的要多。我们不可避免地要做出选择：是继续努力修完双学位或三学位，还是彻底改变方向？我多希望入学第一天就有人告诉我：如果你对一件事充满热爱，那它就不会让你觉得是在工作。政治学的学习或许充满挑战，但对我来说，阅读《宪法》，去体会每一个字对法条解读产生的影响，是一件充满乐趣的事。
这句话或许很难让人接受，但如果你修双学位或三学位，只是因为觉得自己在和同龄人赛跑，那你最终只会把自己逼入绝境。如果只是为了给简历添上一笔，就不要去修双学位或三学位，因为接下来的四年，你的生活会变成人间地狱。真正能让你脱颖而出的，是你在学习、职业，或是其他任何事业中所怀有的热爱，这份热爱会让你的职业和学业拥有无限可能。
当你规划双学位或三学位的课程时，一定要想清楚自己“为什么要这么做”。因为说到底，要熬夜写作业的人是你自己 —— 所以在这个过程中，一定要去享受你所做的事，珍惜它所带来的价值。
