(一)赏用词之妙　
1．Towards the end of the interview, don't forget to seize the moment and ask questions.
赏析：本句中的“seize”一词形象地写出了面试时准确把握时机进行提问的场景。常见动词的灵活、准确运用是读后续写增分的关键。
2．After the interview, you should follow it up by writing to thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity and again express your interest in working for the company.

赏析：本句中使用了句式“It's equally important to do ...”表示“……是同等重要的”。此外还可以使用完全倒装句“Of equal importance is/are ...”来表达这一意思，这两个句式都属于写作中的高级句式。
3．第五段中使用了大量的祈使句。祈使句的运用可以令表达更为言简意赅，同时蕴含劝告、建议、命令、警告或祝愿等语气，常用于倡议书或建议信等应用文体的写作中。
4．When answering, try to find the right conversational balance by giving all the information an interviewer needs to get a complete picture of you without talking too much.
赏析：本句中依次使用了时间状语从句的省略式、祈使句、“介词＋动名词”结构、定语从句及动词不定式作目的状语，各种高级句式交替出现，灵活运用，避免了结构固化、句式单一。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
By my mid－20s, I'd finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher.It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen.I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends.I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy.
I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something, so I started thinking about the things I used to love.As a child, I had always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school.I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I had gone camping with them.I absolutely loved it.It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I'd been missing.
I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends.I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people.
Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature－based therapies (疗法)．It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors.I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology.I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now.
I had thought I'd always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature.If I'm feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself.In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier — I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space.My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks.My salary has halved for the moment but I've adjusted.I've never looked back.
语篇解读：：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者选择做自己喜欢做的事情，将自己的心理学专业与对户外运动的热情相结合，创办了Nature Therapy Ireland。

A．To highlight how boring city life was.
B．To call on people to get back to nature.

√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier ...but I've adjusted.I've never looked back.”可知，作者觉得在Tipperary，可以完全与大自然融合，而且自己永远不会回头，故作者对比在Dublin和Tipperary的生活是想表明她对自己的改变很满意。

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 of the following 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，本篇文章属于报纸的“科技”部分。
C(★)
You have everything you think you need for your dream job, but could something else be holding you back You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills.
Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical.A master's degree in business is a hard skill.The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill.Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills, such as years of work experience or proficiency (精通) with particular computer programs.
On the other hand, soft skills are harder to define.And they can't be defined.And they can't be measured.Soft skills cover a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common — and most necessary for success — include being a good listener and speaker, a wise leader, a problem solver, a strong communicator or a team player.It's also helpful if you can accept feedback, settle conflicts with others, deal with difficult people or be flexible.These soft skills are what many employers desire.
Soft skills benefit you in many ways.Being a good listener, for example, is very helpful if you're a doctor.Being flexible, a team player and a problem solver help you succeed when dealing with deadlines.
Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to succeed.Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you'll love, or being more successful in the job you already have.They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their job and someone who is outstanding, the person you always want on your team.In general, soft skills make you more likable and more competent.
Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews, but soft skills don't come naturally.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了“软技能”对于事业成功的重要性。
9．Which of the following belongs to hard skills
A．Having a good command of English.
B．Communicating with others efficiently.
C．Being good at expressing oneself.
D．Being able to solve problems.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill.”可知，精通某种语言属于“硬技能”。
10．Which of the following is TRUE about soft skills
A．They are measurable and technical.
B．They are taught in many universities.
C．They are desired by many employers.
D．They are specific job qualifications.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“These soft skills are what many employers desire.”可知，很多雇主很渴望这些“软技能”。
11．What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph
A．Why soft skills are important.
B．How soft skills are developed.
C．Where soft skills are applied.
D．What the key soft skills are.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“but soft skills don't come naturally”可知，“软技能”并不是天生的，是需要培养的。由此可知，接下来作者可能会讲到如何培养“软技能”。
12．What's the best title for the text
A．Hard Skills Differ from Soft Skills
B．Soft Skills Can Be Learnt at School
C．Soft Skills Needed in Workplace
D．Soft Skills Matter to Your Success at Work
√
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills.”可知，本文主要讲述“软技能”对于事业成功的重要性，故D项适合作文章标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A question commonly asked during a job interview is “What are your goals for the future？” This question is a good way for employers to determine if your career goals are a good fit for the company. __13__ So you should be careful to answer the question.Here are some tips for you.
Avoid discussing salary.Don't focus on goals related to earnings, raises or bonuses.You should focus on the work you hope to achieve, rather than the money you want to make. __14__ However, you should never volunteer your target salary unasked.
__15__ Even though this question is about you, you should convey that you won't abandon the employer anytime soon.Talk about how you'll add value to the company through the achievement of your own goals.Also, convince the interviewer that working at this company will help you achieve your goals for a win－win situation.
Explain the action you'll take. __16__ You should also explain the steps you will take to achieve them.For example, if you want to take on a management role, describe the steps you will take to become a manager.
Take time to practice.Practice answering questions about your career goals out loud, so you can be more comfortable during your interview. __17__
Bear these tips in mind when answering the questions during your job interview.Hopefully, you will get the job you want.
A．Focus on the employer.
B．It's fine to provide a salary range if asked.
C．Talk about what you have achieved in the past years.
D．Listing goals is not going to make for a strong answer.
E．The interviewer is interested in your specific goals instead of general ones.
F．Besides, it helps hiring managers make sure that you actually have some goals.
G．You can also review various job interview questions and answers to get fully prepared.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在求职面试中的一些技巧。
13．选F　根据空前一句“这个问题是雇主确定你的职业目标是否适合公司的一个好方法”和空后一句“因此，你应该谨慎回答这个问题”可知，F项“此外，它有助于负责招聘的经理确定你确实有一些目标”承上启下，符合语境。
14．选B　根据空前一句“你应该专注于希望从事的工作而不是要挣的钱”和空后一句“然而，你绝对不要在未被问及的情况下提出目标工资”可知，B项“如果被问到，你可以提供薪水范围”承上启下，符合语境。
15．选A　根据空后一句“即使这个问题是关于你的，你也应该传达出你不会在短期内离开雇主的信息”可知，A项“关注雇主”引领下文，符合语境。
16．选D　根据空前一句“说明你将要采取的行动”和空后一句“你还应该说明为实现这些目标你将采取的措施”可知，D项“列出目标并不能解决问题”承上启下，符合语境。该选项中的“goals”是下一句中的“them”所指代的内容。
17．选G　根据空前一句“练习大胆地回答关于你的职业目标的问题，这样你在面试过程中会更加自在”可知，G项“你还可以查看各种求职面试问题和答案以做充分准备”承接上文，符合语境。UNIT 3　课时检测(五)　“Extended reading”的课文习读环节

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 of the following 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.

You have everything you think you need for your dream job, but could something else be holding you back You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills.
Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical.A master's degree in business is a hard skill.The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill.Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills, such as years of work experience or proficiency (精通) with particular computer programs.
On the other hand, soft skills are harder to define.And they can't be defined.And they can't be measured.Soft skills cover a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common — and most necessary for success — include being a good listener and speaker, a wise leader, a problem solver, a strong communicator or a team player.It's also helpful if you can accept feedback, settle conflicts with others, deal with difficult people or be flexible.These soft skills are what many employers desire.
Soft skills benefit you in many ways.Being a good listener, for example, is very helpful if you're a doctor.Being flexible, a team player and a problem solver help you succeed when dealing with deadlines.
Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to succeed.Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you'll love, or being more successful in the job you already have.They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their job and someone who is outstanding, the person you always want on your team.In general, soft skills make you more likable and more competent.
Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews, but soft skills don't come naturally.
