(2025·山东高二下期中)
When Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography，he found the challenge discouraging. “Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana，” Ninson says，“If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer，it’s like，‘Yuck，what？Go be a lawyer.’”
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加纳摄影记者Paul Ninson克服社会偏见，坚持摄影梦想，并通过创立Dikan Center保存和传播非洲历史文化，激励了加纳创意社区的发展。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
But Ninson felt photography was his calling.Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images，he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone，bought a camera and began studying photography.
Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography，he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart—those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist.
Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism.Unable to find a suitable program in Africa，he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City.There，he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks.In Ghana，he only had access to five or six of such books.
As he ventured deeper into the city，he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home，such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives(档案) to return to Africa，which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories.This idea has been realized with the creation of Dikan Center in Accra，Ghana’s capital.
In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes，Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community.“Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography.Dikan Center has given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana—anything just to preserve our history and make history.”
1.How did Ninson’s grandparents affect his career choice
A.They bought a camera for Ninson.
B.They asked him to seek his friend’s advice.
C.They showed many photos of his family.

解析
2.Why did Ninson go to America
A.He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks.
B.He hunted for more approaches to culture.
C.He desired for chances to better himself.
D.He wanted to return to commercial photography.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unable to find a suitable program in Africa，he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City.”可知，Ninson去美国是为了接受更好的教育，提升自己的摄影技能。故选C。
解析
3.Which of the following can best describe Ninson
A.Optimistic and humorous.
B.Generous and caring.
C.Innovative and hard-working.
D.Brave and outgoing.

Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates① the individual from restrictions.However，new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍新的研究表明，没有权力的员工在多次参与创造性任务后，也能提高创造力。研究还发现，让员工先“热身”可以克服职场中的权力不平衡，激发所有员工的创造力。
“This is important because people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power，which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances，” said Brian Lucas，assistant② professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage，” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted three studies to reach their conclusion.In the first study，they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted.Participants’ sense of power was manipulated(操纵) through role assignments，where they were either given a leadership role with control over resources or an employee role without control over resources.The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round.There was no difference，though，in creativity in the second round.
In the second study，the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five，taking as long as they like to complete the task.Consistent③ with the first study，the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round.But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.Results of the third study demonstrated that a different creativity task can also warm-up low-power people for an unrelated creativity task.
“Given the high value of creative ideas for organizations，it is important to develop approaches that empower all employees to tap their creative potential，” Lucas said.“The low power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that does just this and overcomes power imbalance in the workplace：when pursuing creative work，let employees warm up first.”
5.Why is it important to boost lower-power workers’ creativity according to Lucas
A.To enhance competition.
B.To encourage cooperation.
C.To navigate power imbalance.
D.To build a rich-get-richer dynamic.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段中Lucas的话“This is important...these power imbalances”和“Understanding ways to boost...find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage”可推知，Lucas认为提高低权力员工的创造力可以帮助他们应对这种低权力的劣势，即有助于找到应对权力不平衡的正确方法。故选C。
解析
6.How did the participants feel the power in the first study
A.By competing with leaders.
B.Through a random role selection.
C.By working in different conditions.
D.Through confusing role assignments.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants’ sense of power was manipulated(操纵) through role assignments，where they were either given a leadership role with control over resources or an employee role without control over resources.”可知，在第一项研究中，通过给参与者分配不同的角色，让他们在不同的条件下工作，从而感受到权力。故选C。
解析
7.What can best describe the relationship between power and creativity from the studies
A.It’s fixed. B.It’s dynamic.
C.It’s unpredictable. D.It’s casual.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The study found...in the second round.”和第四段中“Consistent with the...after the first round.”可知，在第一轮期间，权力大的人比权力小的人更有创造力，但在第一轮之后，权力小的人的创造力赶上了权力大的人，说明权力和创造力的关系是动态的。故选B。
解析
8.What is the author’s attitude towards low power warm-up effect
A.Encouraging. B.Negative.
C.Critical. D.Indifferent.
√
观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，低权力热身效应表明了一种简单的干预措施，即在进行创造性工作时，先让员工热热身，对于激发员工的创造力起到了作用。由此可知，作者对于低权力热身效应是持鼓励态度的。故选A。

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？” [2]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 about1 it is an essential exercise for young people.
[1]句中you are asked是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。
[2]句中because引导的是表语从句，who you are是宾语从句。
词块翻译：
1．考虑
[3]The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school，before you make any choices2 about your further education.This，however，is not always easy.[4]Some people know what they want to do from a young age3，but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around4 in their heads.
[3]此句是复合句，不定式短语to start thinking about possible careers作后置定语，before引导的是时间状语从句。
[4]此句是并列复合句，what they want to do from a young age是宾语从句，bouncing around in their heads是现在分词短语作后置定语。
2.做出选择
3．从年轻时
4．蹦来蹦去；弹来弹去
One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude test”．[5]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 try6.Getting a head start7 in considering your future career may help you for the rest of your life.[6]You don’t want to look back8 in years to come9 and say，“I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”
[5]此句是并列复合句，that you may be suited to是定语从句，修饰careers。
[6]句中to come是动词不定式作后置定语；wish之后是省略了that的宾语从句，该从句使用了虚拟语气，表示对过去的虚拟；what I really wanted to do是what引导的宾语从句。
5.适合于
6．尝试一下
7．起步前的优势
8．回首(往事)
9．在未来的几年里
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests.Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes10.Others focus more on11 asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios，like working as12 a librarian or a lawyer.[7]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.

One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks.Their answers are then analysed and divided up15 between six different types of work personalities.[8]The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. [9]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 suggestions16.
[8]句中showing their score for each type of work personality是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰a chart。
[9]句中that indicates the participant’s overall work personality是定语从句，修饰a code。
15.分割，划分
16．生成职业建议列表
[10]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.

[10]which引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句。
[11]此句为so连接的并列复合句，前一分句中的what引导宾语从句，在句中作定语，修饰work；后一分句中what引导宾语从句，在句中作aim for的宾语。

[12]句中finding something...是动名词短语作表语；that you are passionate about是that引导的定语从句，修饰something。

(2025·山东高二下期中)
When Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography，he found the challenge discouraging.“Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana，” Ninson says，“If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer，it’s like，‘Yuck，what？Go be a lawyer.’”
But Ninson felt photography was his calling.Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images，he developed a love for photography.He sold his mobile phone，bought a camera and began studying photography.
Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography，he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart—those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist.
Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism.Unable to find a suitable program in Africa，he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City.There，he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks.In Ghana，he only had access to five or six of such books.
As he ventured deeper into the city，he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home，such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library.The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives(档案) to return to Africa，which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories.This idea has been realized with the creation of Dikan Center in Accra，Ghana’s capital.
In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes，Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community.“Dikan Center has magnified(放大) art and photography.Dikan Center has given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana—anything just to preserve our history and make history.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加纳摄影记者Paul Ninson克服社会偏见，坚持摄影梦想，并通过创立Dikan Center保存和传播非洲历史文化，激励了加纳创意社区的发展。

B(此篇精读)
Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates① the individual from restrictions.However，new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
“This is important because people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power，which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances，” said Brian Lucas，assistant② professor in the Cornell University.“Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage，” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted three studies to reach their conclusion.In the first study，they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted.Participants’ sense of power was manipulated(操纵) through role assignments，where they were either given a leadership role with control over resources or an employee role without control over resources.The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round.There was no difference，though，in creativity in the second round.
In the second study，the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five，taking as long as they like to complete the task.Consistent③ with the first study，the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round.But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.Results of the third study demonstrated that a different creativity task can also warm-up low-power people for an unrelated creativity task.
“Given the high value of creative ideas for organizations，it is important to develop approaches that empower all employees to tap their creative potential，” Lucas said.“The low power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that does just this and overcomes power imbalance in the workplace：when pursuing creative work，let employees warm up first.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍新的研究表明，没有权力的员工在多次参与创造性任务后，也能提高创造力。研究还发现，让员工先“热身”可以克服职场中的权力不平衡，激发所有员工的创造力。
5．Why is it important to boost lower-power workers’ creativity according to Lucas
A．To enhance competition.
B．To encourage cooperation.
C．To navigate power imbalance.
D．To build a rich-get-richer dynamic.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中Lucas的话“This is important...these power imbalances”和“Understanding ways to boost...find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage”可推知，Lucas认为提高低权力员工的创造力可以帮助他们应对这种低权力的劣势，即有助于找到应对权力不平衡的正确方法。故选C。
6．How did the participants feel the power in the first study
A．By competing with leaders.
B．Through a random role selection.
C．By working in different conditions.
D．Through confusing role assignments.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants’ sense of power was manipulated(操纵) through role assignments，where they were either given a leadership role with control over resources or an employee role without control over resources.”可知，在第一项研究中，通过给参与者分配不同的角色，让他们在不同的条件下工作，从而感受到权力。故选C。
7．What can best describe the relationship between power and creativity from the studies
A．It’s fixed. B．It’s dynamic.
C．It’s unpredictable. D．It’s casual.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The study found...in the second round.”和第四段中“Consistent with the...after the first round.”可知，在第一轮期间，权力大的人比权力小的人更有创造力，但在第一轮之后，权力小的人的创造力赶上了权力大的人，说明权力和创造力的关系是动态的。故选B。
8．What is the author’s attitude towards low power warm-up effect
A．Encouraging. B．Negative.
C．Critical. D．Indifferent.
答案　A
解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，低权力热身效应表明了一种简单的干预措施，即在进行创造性工作时，先让员工热热身，对于激发员工的创造力起到了作用。由此可知，作者对于低权力热身效应是持鼓励态度的。故选A。
[语境猜词]
①liberate v．解放；使自由
②assistant n．助手，助理；售货员 adj.副的(本文为此义)；助理的
③consistent adj.一致的；始终如一的
[句式分析]
However，new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
分析：此句为复合句。that引导宾语从句；who引导定语从句，employees为先行词，who在从句中作主语；when given time...为时间状语从句的省略，完整形式为“when they are given time...”。
翻译：然而，新研究表明，未处于权力地位的员工在有时间通过多次参与创造性任务来“热身”时，会变得更有创造力。
