语篇导读:本文是应用文。文章主要讲述了几个未来预计需求量会很高的工作。
答案及剖析:
1.C　细节理解题。根据“Data Scientist”部分中的“Average hourly wage:$52”及“It’s a big job that generally requires eight working hours a day”可知,数据科学家平均每小时的工资是52美元,每天需要工作8个小时,那么平均每天的工资就是52×8=416(美元)。故选C。
2.B　细节理解题。根据“Web Developer”部分中的“Most of the work can be done remotely”可知,大多数的网页开发工作可以远程完成。因此,对于喜欢在家工作的人来说,网页开发人员是一个合适的选择。故选B。
3.D　细节理解题。根据“Choreographer(编舞者)”部分中的“Maybe it’s the popularity...demand in recent years.”可知,近年来,社交媒体上的舞蹈视频的流行可能是对编舞者的需求增加的原因,即编舞者因为社交媒体变得越来越受欢迎。故选D。
B
I left university with a good degree in English Literature,but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years,I was treading water (停滞不前),just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism,but I didn’t think I was any good,and then finance,which I hated.Finally,I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books,although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work,and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do,and you’re too ashamed to say,“Well,I’m writing a novel,but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.
Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents.So,I did and,to my surprise,got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and,after signing with an agent,I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher.After two and a half years of no income,just waiting and wondering,a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate,really.When you set out to do something different,there’s no end in sight,so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.
(　　)4.Why did the author decide to write a novel
A.Because she hated her previous jobs.
B.Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so.
C.Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel.
D.Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature.
(　　)5.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean
A.I became less stubborn.
B.I became more stubborn.
C.I suddenly lost confidence.
D.I gradually gained confidence.
(　　)6.Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel
A.An agent who she signed with.
B.A rights assistant she once worked with.
C.An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents.
D.A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant.
(　　)7.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer
A.Tough but rewarding.
B.Interesting and smooth.
C.Difficult but thrilling.
D.Complicated and fruitless.
语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者大学毕业后尝试过许多不同的工作,但始终没有找到真正适合自己的;后来她决定写小说以实现自己内心的愿望。小说完成后经历了一段漫长而艰难的过程才得以出版,最终获得了成功,作者也因此成为一名出版作家,找到自己的人生定位。
答案及剖析:
4.C　细节理解题。根据第二段的“I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel”可知,作者决定写小说是因为她想要追寻自己写小说的梦想。故选C。
5.C　句意猜测题。根据第三段的“but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there”和“Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.”可知,作者对自己的小说没有信心,所以画线句是指“我突然失去了信心”。故选C。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句可知,作者曾经工作过的那家出版商同意出版她的第一本小说。故选D。
7.A　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,作者的小说从无人问津到最终的出版经历了一段漫长而艰难的过程;且根据最后一段的“to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding”可知,作者成为出版作家的这段经历是非常值得的,即“艰难但值得”。故选A。
C
What should you think about when trying to find your career You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects,you will have learnt to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery,and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you have gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learnt how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learnt to give correct change in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
(　　)8.What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.We should think about how to find our career.
B.Learning ability at school shows power in your job.
C.A knowledge of each subject may be of value in your career.
D.Learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
(　　)9.What will a student do if his school performance is not good
A.He will have no hope in his future work.
B.He will be hopeful to find a suitable job.
C.He will regret not having worked harder at school.
D.He will have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work.
(　　)10.What does the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Be the best. B.Be clumsy.
C.Be important. D.Be skilled.
(　　)11.What does the passage mainly discuss
A.It talks about how to show strengths in your work.
B.It talks about working experience and knowledge at school.
C.It talks about the relationship between school performance and career.
D.It talks about how to get a job.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了关于职业选择方面的考虑事项。要从事自己擅长的学科,同时要了解自己的弱点,只有这样才可以选择出满意的职业。
答案及剖析:
8.C　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后三句可推断出,每一门学科的知识都可能对你的职业生涯有价值。故选C。
9.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句可知,如果一个学生在学校的表现不好,他可能有机会在未来的工作中重新开始。故选D。
10.B　短语猜测题。根据画线部分所在句可知,短语“be all thumbs”应该是描述人们操作工具时的状态或样子,该句的前一句是本段的主题句“正视自己的弱点也是了解自己的一部分”,而该句中分号后面的半句话意为“也许你拼写很糟糕或不能把一列数字相加”,分号表并列关系,由此判断出“be all thumbs”应该是形容人们操作工具时不熟练、笨拙的状态。故选B。
11.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段的前两句和最后一段的最后三句可知,这篇文章主要讨论的是学校表现和职业生涯之间的关系。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
Do you ever stop to question whether or not you’re on the right career path You might even be thinking,“How do I even know what the right career is ”If you’re feeling stuck,unsure or confused,don’t worry.1.　　
Take career assessments.
Take career personality tests that can help tell you what you should be.A career test should be valid and reliable.The test should actually measure what it claims to measure,and you should get consistent results over multiple tries.2.　　　 Remember,a career assessment isn’t a shortcut (捷径);it’s a tool.It’s up to you how you use it.
Make a list of your options.
3.　　　 Make a list of all your options,whether those are actual job opportunities, education,or career paths.Once you have everything written down,you can determine what isn’t exactly right,and narrow your goals.Then rank your options from best to worst.
Look for overlap (重叠).
What you’re good at,what companies need,and what you like to do might all be different,but it’s important to try to find the overlap between the three.4.　　　 Rather than looking at job titles,consider your interests,hobbies and skills,and then work out how those translate.
Ask a mentor(导师).
Never underestimate the value and power of a good mentor!There are many different types of mentors,from the kind you pay to the kind that can support you at work.5.　　
Finding your dream career isn’t easy,and the path can be scary.But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it!

C.You should know how to use the results to your advantage.

F.The right mentor,no matter what type,will give you guidance and help boost your career.
G.To find your dream career,you need to carefully sort through your options for the best route.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了可以帮助你找到理想的职业道路的四个步骤。
答案及剖析:
1.E　空处上文提到,如果你对“什么是正确的职业道路”感到困惑,不要担心;下文就此问题给出了建议。E项承接上文,引出下文。故选E。
2.C　根据本段小标题“Take career assessments.”和上文的“A career test should...over multiple tries.”可知,此处强调的是可以通过进行职业测试来对自己的职业进行规划。空处应是指出要充分利用职业测试的结果对自己的职业道路进行规划。C项承接上文,符合语境。故选C。
3.G　根据本段小标题“Make a list of your options.”和下文的“Make a list of all your...career paths.”可知,本段讲的是列出自己的职业选择。G项符合语境,且选项中的options是词汇复现。故选G。
4.A　上文的“What you’re good at...find the overlap between the three.”讲到在自己擅长的领域、公司的需求以及自己喜欢做的事情之间找到共同点;下文的“Rather than...work out how those translate.”讲到如何找到三者之间的共同点。A项强调该方式的重要性,指出这种找到共同点的方式才是找到自己理想职业道路的方法,符合语境。故选A。
