专题05：阅读理解体裁之记叙文 （真题感悟+名校模拟） ( 真题 感悟 ) Passage 1 （2023·浙江丽水·统考中考真题）When Drew Mascotti graduated from high school, he got a job delivering（送）pizzas. But soon he realized that it wasn’t what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a night class at a local tech school to see if welding（焊接）—which joins two metals together with heat—was a skill that “was going to stick.” It did. Mascotti wanted to learn everything about welding and decided he’d make welding his career. But one night class wouldn’t be enough. Mascotti went to Hobart Welding School in Ohio for real, technical training. Besides welding courses, Mascotti also took classes in subjects like metallurgy-the study of metal—and reading blueprints. He became more certain that he would stick to the job. For the past 18 years, Mascotti has been a welder. He now works for the EEW Group. The company has a big project to carry out. It’s in the process of opening a factory that will produce monopiles for offshore wind turbines（涡轮机）. Wind turbines produce eco-friendly electricity. A typical day for Mascotti includes a number of tasks and skills. One minute, he’s driving a forklift. The next, he’s reading blueprints, or cutting materials. “There are a lot to deal with,” he told Time for Kids. “It’s not just welding.” Mascotti’s favorite part of being a welder is “making an honest living”. He also takes pride in helping the environment. “I’m glad to stick to what I really want to do,” he says. “I’m working for a company that is helping the country to go green, and it’s satisfying to be a part of that process.” 1．What is Drew Mascotti?
