(2025·江西南昌高二下期中)
When Wilson was 10 years old，he promised his mother that one day she would never again have to wash other people’s clothes for a living and he was going to start his own business and support her.His mother just nodded silently，knowing no member of their family had ever owned a business.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Wilson通过努力实现梦想，最终成功开设多家餐厅并帮助社区的故事。
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读
Years passed，but Wilson’s dream did not come true.After high school，Wilson joined the army，where his goal of one day owning a family restaurant began to take shape.He signed up for the food service school there and he became such an excellent cook that he was promoted to the officers’ dining hall.
After he left the army at 28，he worked as a police officer for the following fifteen years.When he felt he was in need of the business skills for his business，he took business classes at night in his off-hours.“I also saved every cent I earned as a police officer，” he recalled.“For ten years，I didn’t spend one cent—there were no movies，no vacations，and no trips.”
By 2013，with enough savings，Wilson decided to make his dream a reality.He opened his first restaurant.However，the first few months were a failure.Wilson quickly changed his business strategy and once a week he offered his employees classes in customer service and management.He encouraged them to develop personal and professional goals.He always stressed that the faster and more efficiently the employees served the customers，the more profitable that way would be.
Today，Wilson owns nine restaurants and employs over four hundred people.In the community，Wilson funded athletic teams and scholarships to get kids off the streets and into community centers and schools.Then his restaurants became profitable，earning much more than before.More importantly，Wilson paved the way for thousands of ordinary young people who are working to make their dreams a reality，helping their communities，and serving up hope.

A role shift—whether a promotion，a move to a new organization，or a fresh challenge in your existing job—can be a huge boost to your career and a chance for you to succeed.You know the drill heading in：Apply your experience and talents to the position，make sure you are accepted by the hierarchy(高层)，and get a few big wins in the first couple of months to demonstrate what you can do.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过讨论职场角色转变的挑战，特别是晋升或转职后如何在新角色中快速适应并取得成功的问题，提出了有效运用内部网络是先决条件的观点。
But in today’s hyper-collaborative and dynamic workplaces，successful moves aren’t as easy as they once were，even for the most qualified and hard-working people.Too often，transitional managers and employees don’t live up to their organizations’ expectations.Gartner surveys indicate that a full 49% of people promoted within their own companies are underperforming up to 18 months after those moves，and McKinsey reports that 27% to 46% of transitional executives are regarded as failures or disappointments two years later.They have the right skills and experience.They understand the company’s goals.So why didn’t they quickly excel in their new roles
We analyzed employee relationships and communication patterns across more than 100 diverse companies and interviewed 160 executives in 20 of them.Our research points to one overlooked prerequisite(先决条件) for transition success：the effective use of internal networks.The people who are the most productive，innovative，and engaged in new roles—the “fast movers”—are those who establish extremely broad，mutually beneficial，uplifting connections from the start.Specifically，they surge rapidly into a broad network；identify how they add value，where they fall short，and who can fill the gaps；create scale；and shape their networks for maximum thriving.
In most cases，individual managers must do these things on their own.Only 43% of people surveyed said their organizations ensured that transitional employees were offered guidance and support.Only about a quarter said their employers encouraged them to build connections early or create networks to address skill gaps.But that should not be the case.
5.What does the author say about job moves in today’s society
A.They are a boost to our career.
B.They require ability demonstration.
C.They may not produce good results.
D.They need to be guided by managers.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段可知，作者认为在当今高度协作和动态的工作场所，即使是最有资格和最勤奋的人，成功的工作变动也不像以前那么容易，工作变动可能不会产生好的结果。故选C。
解析
6.Why didn’t transitional executives succeed in their new roles
A.They are inexperienced.
B.They lack the needed skills.
C.They misunderstand the company’s goals.
D.They fail to use internal networks effectively.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“We analyzed employee...the effective use of internal networks.”可知，成功转型的先决条件是有效利用内部网络，而转型高管没有有效利用内部网络，因此他们在新角色中没有取得成功。故选D。
解析
7.How does the author make his points convincing
A.By using exact numbers.
B.By conducting surveys.
C.By making contrasts.
D.By listing examples.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We analyzed employee...and interviewed 160 executives in 20 of them.Our research points to...of internal networks.”和第四段中“Only 43% of people surveyed said...Only about a quarter said...”可知，作者通过进行调查来使他的观点更有说服力。故选B。
解析
8.What does the author think of the phenomenon in the last paragraph
A.It’s common. B.It’s unexpected.
C.It’s acceptable. D.It’s unsurprising.
√
观点态度题。作者在最后一段中提到“但情况不应该是这样”，这表明作者对于大多数情况下，单个管理者必须自己完成这些事情感到意外，因此可以推断出作者认为这个现象是出人意料的。故选B。
解析
Writing a book is no easy task，even for adult professional writers.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了8岁男孩Dillon Helbig用彩色铅笔创作了一部81页的漫画小说《Dillon Helbig的圣诞历险记》，并偷偷放到当地图书馆的儿童书籍中。图书管理员发现后不仅欣赏其想象力，还将其收入馆藏。这一经历强化了Dillon成为作家的决心，展现了家人和图书管理员对他梦想的支持和认可。
