For example, the emergence of the Internet has completely changed the way people communicate and do business.”，通过 “For example” 后的内容可推测出 “paradigm shifts” 大概是 “重大变革” 的意思。 4.复查答案，查漏补缺 （1）检查细节：再次核对答案，确保细节题的答案与原文信息准确对应，没有因粗心而导致的错误，如看错数字、混淆概念等。 （2）逻辑验证：对于推理判断题等，检查推理过程是否合理，结论是否符合文章的整体逻辑和主旨。如果发现答案与文章逻辑矛盾，要重新思考和判断。 四、创新与未来规划阅读理解解题技巧案例分析 以下是关于创新与未来规划阅读理解解题技巧的案例分析： 案例文本 Innovation is the key driver of future development. In today's rapidly changing world, only those who can continuously innovate can adapt to the changes and gain a foothold in the future. Take the technology industry for example. Companies like Apple and Tesla are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. Apple's innovative products such as the iPhone have revolutionized the way people communicate and live. Tesla, on the other hand, is leading the transformation of the automotive industry with its electric vehicle technology and autonomous driving technology. These companies have a clear vision of the future and formulate corresponding plans. They invest a lot of resources in research and development to continuously launch new products and technologies, thus occupying a leading position in the market. However, innovation is not an easy thing. It requires courage to take risks, the ability to think outside the box, and a spirit of perseverance. Many companies fail in the process of innovation because they are afraid of failure or lack the necessary resources and capabilities. In addition, innovation also needs to be combined with future planning. A good future plan should be based on market trends and technological development trends, and at the same time take into account the company's own advantages and disadvantages. Only in this way can innovation play a greater role in promoting future development. （一）细节理解题 题目：According to the passage, what makes Apple's products special? 解析：题干中的关键词是 “Apple's products”。根据文本 “Apple's innovative products such as the iPhone have revolutionized the way people communicate and live” 可知，苹果产品的特别之处在于创新，它彻底改变了人们的交流和生活方式。所以答案是 Innovation that revolutionizes the way people communicate and live。 干扰项分析：若选项中有 “Apple's products are special because of their beautiful appearance”，这属于无中生有，文中未提及苹果产品外观漂亮使其特别；若选项是 “Apple's products are special because they are expensive”，则是与原文无关的错误信息，文章没有提到价格因素。 （二）主旨大意题 题目：What is the main idea of the passage? 解析：文章开头指出 “Innovation is the key driver of future development”，中间以苹果和特斯拉为例说明创新对未来发展的推动作用，后面又阐述了创新的不易以及创新要与未来规划相结合。所以文章的主旨是强调创新是未来发展的关键驱动力以及创新与未来规划结合的重要性。答案可以概括为 The importance of innovation as the key driver of future development and the combination of innovation and future planning。 干扰项分析：选项 “The development history of Apple and Tesla” 过于片面，只涉及文中举例部分，不能涵盖。 全文主旨；“The difficulties of innovation” 也不全面，只强调了创新的困难这一个方面，没有体现创新与未来规划的关系等主要内容。 （三）推理判断题 题目：It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. Companies that don't innovate will definitely fail in the future. B. Tesla's success lies only in its electric vehicle technology. C. Innovation requires not only courage but also a combination of various factors. D. Future planning is more important than innovation. 解析：根据文章内容 “Innovation is not an easy thing. It requires courage to take risks, the ability to think outside the box, and a spirit of perseverance.” 可知，创新需要勇气、突破常规思维的能力和毅力等多种因素，C 选项正确。A 选项 “Companies that don't innovate will definitely fail in the future” 过于绝对，文中只是说不创新难以在未来立足，但不是绝对会失败；B 选项 “Tesla's success lies only in its electric vehicle technology” 错误，特斯拉的成功不仅仅在于电动汽车技术，还有自动驾驶技术等，属于以偏概全；D 选项 “Future planning is more important than innovation” 在文中没有提及两者谁更重要，属于无中生有。 （五）词义猜测题 题目：What does the phrase "pushing the boundaries" in the passage mean? 解析：根据上下文 “Companies like Apple and Tesla are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology.” 以及后文提到苹果和特斯拉不断推出创新产品和技术，可推测 “pushing the boundaries” 意思是突破技术的限制、不断拓展技术的范围，即 Making continuous breakthroughs in technology。 干扰项分析：如果选项是 “Staying within the existing technological range”，就与原文意思相反；若选项是 “Destroying the existing technological system”，则过于夸张，不符合原文语境，原文只是说在技术上突破，而不是破坏现有技术体系。 五、高二英语人与自我-创新与未来规划阅读理解的考法考点 高二英语 “人与自我 —— 创新与未来规划” 主题的阅读理解，其考法考点主要围绕词汇、句子、语篇等方面展开，具体如下： 1.词汇方面 词义辨析：考查对与创新和未来规划相关的词汇的精确理解，如 “innovation”“creativity”“invention” 等表示创新概念的词，以及 “plan”“strategy”“vision” 等与未来规划相关词汇之间的细微差别。 熟词生义：一些常见词汇在 “创新与未来规划” 的语境中可能会有特殊含义，如 “drive” 常见意思是 “驾驶”“驱使”，在 “Innovation is the key drive of future development” 中表示 “驱动力”；“pioneer” 常见为名词 “先锋”，也可能考查其动词用法 “开拓”“开创”。 派生词与合成词：出现由常见词根加上表示 “创新”“未来” 相关的前后缀构成的派生词，如 “innovative”“futuristic” 等；还有一些合成词，如 “self-innovation（自我创新）”“future-oriented（面向未来的）” 等，考查学生对构词法的掌握及词义推测能力。 2.句子方面 长难句理解：包含多个修饰成分、从句或特殊句式的长难句，如 “Those who are committed to continuous self-innovation and have a clear vision of their future are more likely to achieve their goals in this highly competitive era.”，考查学生分析句子结构、理清各部分逻辑关系及准确理解句子含义的能力。 关键句解读：文中表达作者观点、总结创新与未来规划关系等关键信息的句子，如 “Innovation serves as the cornerstone upon which a solid future plan is built.”，要求学生能准确把握句子传达的核心思想，理解其在文章中的作用和意义。 3.语篇方面 主旨大意：要求学生概括文章的中心思想，如 “The passage mainly focuses on ____.”，选项可能会涵盖创新的重要性、未来规划的方法、创新与未来规划的相互关系等内容，考查学生对文章整体内容的把握和提炼能力。 细节理解：针对文章中关于创新案例、未来规划具体措施等细节内容设题，如 “What is the specific way mentioned in the passage to promote innovation?”，学生需要准确找到相关信息并与选项进行比对。 推理判断：根据文章内容进行合理推断，如 “It can be inferred from the passage that ____.”，可能会让学生推断创新趋势对未来职业的影响、某种创新模式的发展前景等，考查学生的逻辑推理和深层理解能力。 文章结构与写作意图：考查文章的结构组织，如 “Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage?”，以及作者的写作目的，如 “Why does the author mention these examples in the passage?”，要求学生理解文章的行文脉络和作者的创作意图。 3.文化背景与观点态度方面 文化背景知识：涉及一些与创新和未来规划相关的文化、社会背景知识，如国外创新型企业的发展模式、不同国家对未来科技发展的政策等，考查学生的文化储备和对跨文化知识的理解能力。 观点态度判断：要求学生判断作者或文中人物对创新、未来规划等的观点态度，如 “What is the author's attitude towards technological innovation?”，选项可能包括 positive（积极的）、negative（消极的）、neutral（中立的）、skeptical（怀疑的）等，考查学生对作者情感倾向和观点立场的把握能力。 六、人与自我-创新与未来规划阅读理解精练题 （2025·湖南长沙·一模）Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned. Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself. Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine. A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横梁) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems. Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥青) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators. Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.” 1．What was Paterson like in the past according to paragraph 1? A．It fell into severe disrepair. B．It rarely produced any iron. C．Its textile industry was well-known. D．Its schools were completely deserted. 2．What was the residents’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan? A．Opposed. B．Favorable. C．Dismissive. D．Uncaring. 3．What can we infer about Riesman’s students? A．Diligent and innocent. B．Funny and responsible. C．Honest and trustworthy. D．Imaginative and helpful. 4．What does the text focus on? A．Transforming old buildings to shine. B．Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall. C．Developing students’ logical thinking. D．Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson. （23-24高二下·四川·期中）The science of setting goals. It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves: our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time. 5 . But what if this year really could be different? Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist, shares four tips.        Choose a goal that matters, not just an easy win. Our brains love rewards, so we often set simple goals that make it easy to check off boxes. But if that’s all are about, no wonder we end up abandoning them so quickly. A meaningful goal requires going deeper. 6 . For example, if you want to quit eating junk food, ask why you want to quit it. Then, if you want to quit it for your health, ask why you want good health. 7 .When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending. But we can’t control outcomes. We have to inch toward them, one choice at a time. Ask yourself, “What is the smallest thing I can do today that helps me reach my goal?” If you make daily choices that are consistent with your goal over and over again, you will eventually reach it. Frame your goals positively. Focusing on what you want to bring into your life –not what you want to avoid — will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to trigger inhibition systems. 8 ,” says McGonigal. Prepare for failure. Moments of failure are inevitable, but most of us abandon the goal entirely when minor failures and setbacks start piling up. Your task is not to avoid failures, but to plan for them. Ask yourself, “How am I likely to fail?” For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can tide you over. 9 . A．Focus on the process, not the outcome B．Psychologists call this an emergency plan C．It really drives home why that goal matters D．Never mind that we abandoned them very quickly E．How you describe your goal makes a big difference F．Think about what you want, and then ask yourself why G．But positive goals are going to trigger approach and reward motivation （24-25高二上·四川宜宾·期中）When her students ask what she was like at their age, Tiffany Marconi opens up about her high school experience. Her family were often on the move, which made her feel lost. “I was just kind of all over the place. My teachers in high school really helped me discover who I was and feel comfortable with myself,” Marconi says. Marconi is instrumental in building a program in Wheat on Warrenville Unit District 200. Through her “Intro to Teaching” classes, Marconi is drawing high school students to the profession (职业) at a time when a national teacher shortage makes headlines. One of the goals of the program is to give teens real-world experiences and opportunities to explore careers while they’re in high school. The curriculum is set through the College of DuPage, but Marconi creates a student-centered classroom. At the end of the term, students design their own classroom on an individual level and in small groups as a team-based challenge. Marconi doesn’t avoid talking about the realities — all the positives and some of the struggles of being a teacher. “Yes, I would love all of them to come back and teach,” Marconi says. “But I just hope honestly that it helps them figure out if they want to be a teacher, and if not, that’s OK. The one thing I always tell my students: You need to find a job, something that you love and that you are excited to do when waking up every day.” 10．Why did Marconi feel lost in her high school? A．She scored low marks. B．Her family moved a lot. C．Her teachers were strict. D．She went to school alone. 11．What does the program that Marconi works for aim to do?

Sun Hao first discovered information about the house organizing and cleaning industry online in 2021 while still serving in the army. It was known as the “lazy economy”, where young people preferred to delegate (委托) daily household tasks to professionals, allowing themselves more time to enjoy life. Sun saw the potential in this industry, and when he retired from the military in 2022, he decided to establish his own household service company with two other soldiers. According to Sun, the military’s stringent internal requirements equipped retired soldiers like him with specific skills and self-imposed standards, which they applied to their new job. “With all increasing consumer demands for an improved quality of life, basic household cleaning is no longer enough to meet people’s desires for an enhanced lifestyle,” said the 27-year-old. Sun and his teammates are part of a remarkable group of young entrepreneurs, who, having bravely served their nation, are now making the most of their skills and experiences to create a new trail in the business world. There are many memorable moments in Sun’s career, and one of them occurred during the early stages of the company. In April 2023, Sun received an inquiry from an elderly woman asking whether they could make dumplings as part of their service. Sun knew she must have made a mistake, but instead of refusing her demand right away, Sun talked to the woman and found that she lived alone and had physical illnesses that made it difficult for her to move around. The next day, Sun and his four colleagues went to her home, provided free deep cleaning, and made dumplings for her. “At that moment, I felt a great sense of achievement,” Sun said. “We received support from the people in the military, and now that I’ve retired from the military, I can still use my own strength to contribute to public welfare.” Currently, Sun’s team consists of 20 people, with 18 of them being soldiers before. “We primarily focus on employing retired soldiers to provide them with increased employment and business opportunities” he said. “My dream is to lead more retired soldiers to collectively innovate in employment and help more people,” Sun said. 14．Which statements are less likely to be the “lazy economy”? ①30-year-old Jack employed a babysitter to take care of his little baby. ②An employer dedicated an scientific experiment to a professional company. ③Young people purchased services like sweeping the floor from online apps. ④A girl’s friend helps to feed her dog when she is travelling abroad. A．①③ B．②④ C．①④ D．②③ 15．What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? A．Demanding. B．Thorough. C．Considerate. D．Specific. 16．Sun has done a lot to serve people and the nation, EXCEPT______. A．providing free household services for people in trouble B．safeguarding the nation courageously C．helping retired soldiers establish companies D．improving service quality based on the market needs 17．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Sun and his teammates — committed soldiers B．Some memorable moments in sun’s career C．Sun and his teammates: from soldiers to entrepreneurs D．Sun’s dream as a soldier （24-25高二上·重庆·期中）My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn. I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs. Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal. My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much. 18．What is the purpose of mentioning the author’s professor in the first paragraph? A．To show how humorous his professor was. B．To introduce what the concept of “Pinocchio” is. C．To describe how interesting his university life was. D．To explain what encouraged him to pick his career. 19．What can we infer from the second paragraph? A．Crossed arms always indicate defensiveness. B．Understanding body language requires specific skills. C．Spoken words are more trustworthy than body signals. D．Facial expressions, postures, and gestures convey insignificant information. 20．Why do people act in an unusual way after knowing the author’s occupation? A．They believe he is studying them. B．They consider him aggressive. C．They don’t like his service. D．They are rooted in shock. 21．What does the author think of his job? A．Stable but difficult. B．Flexible but demanding. C．Fulfilling but challenging. D．Innovative but fast-paced. （24-25高二上·云南·期中）A native foundation, Destiny Trust, has launched a technological programme-Kids Innovation Africa (KIA), an inspiring initiative that highlights the importance of early education in technology and creativity, designed to empower children with essential skills in coding, design, robotics, and the arts. The initiative aims to provide children, particularly those from underserved communities, with the tools to shape the future and create innovative solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems. The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology. According to organizers, KIA offers free and low-cost access to technology and art` education, and the goal is to identify, develop, and showcase the talents of young children, ensuring that even those from disadvantaged backgrounds are not left behind in the digital age. For many participants, the programme was not just an opportunity to learn but a chance to bring to life the ideas they had been working on and dreaming about. The founder of the Destiny Trust, Mr. Abimbola Ojenike, laid great stress on technology in shaping the future of underprivileged children. She said: “We understand that the very best way we can favour them is by giving them skills that are in demand.” According to Ojenike, the Destiny Trust doesn’t just bring out a gift from a child, but others benefit from it, and that makes them unique. “We’re ensuring that every child, regardless of where they come from, is prepared for our digital future and given the skills they will need to thrive in today’s world,” Ojenike added. 22．What does “underserved communities” refer to in the first paragraph?

Her decision has sparked widespread discussion. In a society that places high value on academic degrees, many people don’t understand her choice. They view attending a vocational college with such a high score as a “waste”. However, I support her decision and believe her choice is not only rational but also reflects careful career planning. Employment is a reality every graduate must face. Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out. Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well. Of course, while Chen’s decision stands out, it’s far from a widespread trend. It’s worth noting that this year’s gaokao saw some surprising shifts with high-scoring humanities students also opting (选择) for vocational schools, which has led to more complicated public reactions. Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward. 26．What does the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．awkward B．sensible C．delicate D．critical 27．Why did Chen choose Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering? A．For its location. B．For its job prospects. C．For its reputation. D．For its unique programs. 28．Which statement is true about vocational education in this article? A．It has gained greater social recognition. B．It remains undervalued by most employers. C．It is now equal in quality to regular higher education. D．It is the first choice for low-scoring students. 29．What does the author recommend when choosing an educational path? A．Following societal expectations. B．Prioritizing future job opportunities. C．Selecting majors with less competition. D．Considering personal strengths and interests. （23-24高二下·江苏徐州·期中）As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, “What do you do?” 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 about it is an essential exercise for young people. One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude (才能) test”. There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. 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 analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. 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 suggestions. 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. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like to aim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there. In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now! 30．Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1? A．To support an idea. B．To introduce a topic. C．To define a profession. D．To clarify a new concept. 31．What can we learn about the career aptitude test? A．It determines your future career. B．It should be answered truthfully. C．It stresses the accuracy of test answers. D．It only cares about personal interests and attitudes 32．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The theory of coding. B．The advice on career planning. C．The variety of work personalities. D．The process of a career aptitude test. 33．What does the author suggest us doing? A．Changing our jobs frequently. B．Upgrading our levels of education. C．Following the career advice strictly. D．Pursuing advancement in our careers. （23-24高二下·福建福州·期末）Going with renowned ones like classic Chris-Craft boats is always the best choice for boat lovers. In the 1900s, Chris Smith started creating boats for fishing and enjoying the water and founded a company. These boats were hand-made, and his company faced a big success, so he became famous as Chris-Craft. A boat design is the first thing every potential buyer sees, and the ones made by Chris Craft have a recognizable timeless design, which is the choice of many boat lovers. They are made of high-quality, resistant and durable mahogany (红木), and can last forever with proper maintenance. The company has spent much time and money researching in order to find a perfect engine that will fit perfectly to the design of these vessels, and luckily for all of us boat lovers, they found it. It’s the engine that makes a boat an outstanding one, and that’s precisely where these vessels dominate the market, as they have one of the best engines. Okay, we can say that some boat has great engine, looks amazing, and how fuel consumption is far less than any other boat, but all those things would be for nothing if no one is aware that they exist. That is why advertising is of such big importance today. Of course, these vessels have been with us for quite some time now, but that doesn’t mean that a good marketing campaign and even luck haven’t played a big role. Namely, the owners understood the importance of advertising and set specific goals in order to achieve as many sales as possible, but there is something else that helped them gain even more popularity. We all have a favorite movie, but some movies are classic, and everyone loves them and has at least one sequel (续集) as their to-go option. That’s precisely the role of Bond movies. For some, these movies were the first time they saw Chris-Craft boats and all the luxury and craftsmanship of their design. Once again, great advertising has proven to be highly efficient, and Bond movies were a huge success for this company as they intrigued and interested even more people in buying a boat, and what’s even more important, precisely the model that’s been in the James Bond movie. 34．What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Chris-Craft is quite popular with consumers. B．Chris-Craft is only a small-sized company. C．Chris-Craft has a long history in shipping. D．Chris-Craft is a successful business man. 35．What do we know about Chris-Craft products? A．Chris-Craft products are made of excellent materials. B．Chris-Craft products depend on proper maintenance.

She couldn’t, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her. They stared back, their blank faces giving no clue as to what they would say next. Feeling dizzy, Zhang Yue took a deep breath as she struggled to finish her presentation, “And that is why I need your help in turning my new and exciting business into a successful one.” Now chairwoman of her own company, Zhang Yue is fond of saying, “The early bird catches the worm.” The place where this happens is a valley, a world away from any television studio. Moving carefully through the darkness, she passes row upon row of rose plants. In an hour, these fields will be full of people, working quickly to pick the flowers before sunrise. “It has to be done then,” says Zhang. “These flowers are delicate.” Zhang never thought that this was something she would end up doing. Surrounded by roses as she was growing up, she paid them little attention. It was only after graduating from university overseas and returning to visit her parents that Zhang realised the potential. “Condition s are ideal here,” she says. “This is a place where roses grow wild. I also wanted to give something back to my home town.” She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the start-up bug. All over the world, an increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses, as the growing economy creates more opportunities. Like Zhang, they present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice, and they have the same passion and devotion. “I love running my own business, but it’s not for everyone,” says Zhang. “To succeed in business, you need more than a good idea, hard work and determination. What really matters is a sound business plan, access to capital, and good management and negotiating skills. Most of all, don’t be too ambitious. You should know your own limits and those of the people you work with. For young people who have little life experience, that can be a challenge.” 38．From the first paragraph, we know that ______. A．Zhang Yue was not a confident business woman B．Zhang Yue was happy to meet her partners C．Zhang Yue was nervous during her presentation D．Zhang Yue needed to be recognized by others 39．What does the sentence “She... bitten by the start-up bug.” mean? A．She was once bitten by a bug. B．She needs other people to help her. C．She is not the only person to be bitten by a bug. D．Many young people share her passion for entrepreneurship. 40．Which words can best describe Zhang Yue? A．Potential and doubtful. B．Passionate and devoted. C．Intelligent and experienced. D．Realistic and pessimistic. 41．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Zhang Yue’s business and suggestions for young people. B．The reason why Zhang Yue chose to be a farmer. C．How to start your own businesses. D．The introduction to Zhang Yue’s home town. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重点话题25人与自我-创新与未来规划 阅读理解 【同步拓展阅读】2024-2025学年高二英语阅读提升（通用版） “人与自我-创新与未来规划” 阅读理解中的高频单词和短语： 一、高频单词 1.创新类 innovate：v. 创新；革新 innovation：n. 创新；革新；新观念；新方法 creativity：n. 创造力；创造性 creative：adj. 创造性的；有创造力的 inspiration：n. 灵感；鼓舞；启发 inspire：v. 鼓舞；激励；赋予灵感；激发 2.未来规划类 goal：n. 目标；目的 aim：n. 目标；目的；v. 旨在；瞄准 plan：n. 计划；方案；v. 计划；规划 project：n. 项目；工程；计划 ambition：n. 抱负；志向；野心 vision：n. 视力；视野；愿景；幻想 3.其他相关 potential：adj. 潜在的；可能的；n. 潜力；潜能 opportunity：n. 机会；时机 challenge：n. 挑战；v. 向…… 挑战 ability：n. 能力；才能 skill：n. 技能；技巧 technology：n. 技术；工艺 strategy：n. 策略；战略 二、高频短语 1.创新相关 come up with：想出；提出（主意、计划等） think outside the box：打破常规思维 take risks：冒险 push the boundaries：突破界限 make use of：利用 give birth to：产生；造成 2.未来规划相关 set a goal：设定目标 make a plan：制定计划 look ahead：向前看；展望未来 aim for：以…… 为目标；力求达到 in the long term：从长远来看 in the future：在未来 3.通用短语 rely on：依靠；依赖 depend on：取决于；依赖 be aware of：意识到；知道 as a result：结果；因此 in addition：此外；另外 on the one hand...on the other hand：一方面…… 另一方面 三、人与自我-创新与未来规划阅读理解解题技巧 在高二英语 “人与自我 —— 创新与未来规划” 主题的阅读理解中，可通过文章的主题特点，运用多种技巧来提高解题的准确率，以下是一些具体的解题方法： 1.快速浏览，把握主旨 （1）明确主题：迅速浏览文章标题、首尾段及每段首句，确定文章围绕 “创新与未来规划” 的具体切入点，比如是探讨创新对未来规划的影响，还是某种创新理念下的未来职业规划等。 （2）提炼主旨：留意文章中反复出现的关键词和关键句，它们往往与主旨紧密相关。如频繁出现 “innovation”“future plan” 等词，以及表达作者核心观点的句子，像 “Innovation is the key to a successful future plan.”，从而快速提炼出文章的主旨大意。 2.详读题干，精准定位 （1）确定题型：仔细阅读题干，判断题目类型，如细节理解题、主旨大意题、推理判断题、词义猜测题等。不同题型的解题方法和侧重点不同。 （2）定位关键词：从题干中提取关键信息，如人名、地名、时间、数字、核心名词或动词等，然后在文章中寻找与之对应的内容，确定答案所在的大致区域。例如，题干中出现 “According to the passage, what is the role of technology in innovation?”，其中 “technology”“innovation” 就是关键词，可据此在文中查找相关内容。 3.研读原文，甄别选项 （1）细节理解题：回到定位区域，仔细阅读相关句子，与选项进行逐一比对。注意选项可能是对原文的同义替换、改写或概括，要识别其中的细微差别，排除与原文不符的干扰项。比如原文说 “Future plans should be based on continuous innovation.”，选项可能表述为 “Continuous innovation is the foundation of future plans”，这就是同义替换。 （2）主旨大意题：结合文章开头、结尾及各段主题句，概括出文章的中心思想。正确选项应能涵盖文章的主要内容，具有全面性和概括性，避免选择过于片面或偏离主题的选项。 （3）推理判断题：依据文章中的事实和线索进行合理推断，不能主观臆断。要注意推理的结论必须在原文中有依据，是基于原文内容的合理延伸。例如，文中提到 “Many companies are investing heavily in innovative technologies for their future development.”，可推断出 “Companies recognize the importance of innovation in shaping their future.” （4）词义猜测题：根据单词所在的上下文语境，通过句子之间的逻辑关系、同义词、反义词、举例等线索来猜测词义。比如 “New technologies often bring about paradigm shifts in various industries. For example, the emergence of the Internet has completely changed the way people communicate and do business.”，通过 “For example” 后的内容可推测出 “paradigm shifts” 大概是 “重大变革” 的意思。 4.复查答案，查漏补缺 （1）检查细节：再次核对答案，确保细节题的答案与原文信息准确对应，没有因粗心而导致的错误，如看错数字、混淆概念等。 （2）逻辑验证：对于推理判断题等，检查推理过程是否合理，结论是否符合文章的整体逻辑和主旨。如果发现答案与文章逻辑矛盾，要重新思考和判断。 四、创新与未来规划阅读理解解题技巧案例分析 以下是关于创新与未来规划阅读理解解题技巧的案例分析： 案例文本 Innovation is the key driver of future development. In today's rapidly changing world, only those who can continuously innovate can adapt to the changes and gain a foothold in the future. Take the technology industry for example. Companies like Apple and Tesla are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. Apple's innovative products such as the iPhone have revolutionized the way people communicate and live. Tesla, on the other hand, is leading the transformation of the automotive industry with its electric vehicle technology and autonomous driving technology. These companies have a clear vision of the future and formulate corresponding plans. They invest a lot of resources in research and development to continuously launch new products and technologies, thus occupying a leading position in the market. However, innovation is not an easy thing. It requires courage to take risks, the ability to think outside the box, and a spirit of perseverance. Many companies fail in the process of innovation because they are afraid of failure or lack the necessary resources and capabilities. In addition, innovation also needs to be combined with future planning. A good future plan should be based on market trends and technological development trends, and at the same time take into account the company's own advantages and disadvantages. Only in this way can innovation play a greater role in promoting future development. （一）细节理解题 题目：According to the passage, what makes Apple's products special? 解析：题干中的关键词是 “Apple's products”。根据文本 “Apple's innovative products such as the iPhone have revolutionized the way people communicate and live” 可知，苹果产品的特别之处在于创新，它彻底改变了人们的交流和生活方式。所以答案是 Innovation that revolutionizes the way people communicate and live。 干扰项分析：若选项中有 “Apple's products are special because of their beautiful appearance”，这属于无中生有，文中未提及苹果产品外观漂亮使其特别；若选项是 “Apple's products are special because they are expensive”，则是与原文无关的错误信息，文章没有提到价格因素。 （二）主旨大意题 题目：What is the main idea of the passage? 解析：文章开头指出 “Innovation is the key driver of future development”，中间以苹果和特斯拉为例说明创新对未来发展的推动作用，后面又阐述了创新的不易以及创新要与未来规划相结合。所以文章的主旨是强调创新是未来发展的关键驱动力以及创新与未来规划结合的重要性。答案可以概括为 The importance of innovation as the key driver of future development and the combination of innovation and future planning。 干扰项分析：选项 “The development history of Apple and Tesla” 过于片面，只涉及文中举例部分，不能涵盖。 全文主旨；“The difficulties of innovation” 也不全面，只强调了创新的困难这一个方面，没有体现创新与未来规划的关系等主要内容。 （三）推理判断题 题目：It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. Companies that don't innovate will definitely fail in the future. B. Tesla's success lies only in its electric vehicle technology. C. Innovation requires not only courage but also a combination of various factors. D. Future planning is more important than innovation. 解析：根据文章内容 “Innovation is not an easy thing. It requires courage to take risks, the ability to think outside the box, and a spirit of perseverance.” 可知，创新需要勇气、突破常规思维的能力和毅力等多种因素，C 选项正确。A 选项 “Companies that don't innovate will definitely fail in the future” 过于绝对，文中只是说不创新难以在未来立足，但不是绝对会失败；B 选项 “Tesla's success lies only in its electric vehicle technology” 错误，特斯拉的成功不仅仅在于电动汽车技术，还有自动驾驶技术等，属于以偏概全；D 选项 “Future planning is more important than innovation” 在文中没有提及两者谁更重要，属于无中生有。 （五）词义猜测题 题目：What does the phrase "pushing the boundaries" in the passage mean? 解析：根据上下文 “Companies like Apple and Tesla are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology.” 以及后文提到苹果和特斯拉不断推出创新产品和技术，可推测 “pushing the boundaries” 意思是突破技术的限制、不断拓展技术的范围，即 Making continuous breakthroughs in technology。 干扰项分析：如果选项是 “Staying within the existing technological range”，就与原文意思相反；若选项是 “Destroying the existing technological system”，则过于夸张，不符合原文语境，原文只是说在技术上突破，而不是破坏现有技术体系。 五、高二英语人与自我-创新与未来规划阅读理解的考法考点 高二英语 “人与自我 —— 创新与未来规划” 主题的阅读理解，其考法考点主要围绕词汇、句子、语篇等方面展开，具体如下： 1.词汇方面 词义辨析：考查对与创新和未来规划相关的词汇的精确理解，如 “innovation”“creativity”“invention” 等表示创新概念的词，以及 “plan”“strategy”“vision” 等与未来规划相关词汇之间的细微差别。 熟词生义：一些常见词汇在 “创新与未来规划” 的语境中可能会有特殊含义，如 “drive” 常见意思是 “驾驶”“驱使”，在 “Innovation is the key drive of future development” 中表示 “驱动力”；“pioneer” 常见为名词 “先锋”，也可能考查其动词用法 “开拓”“开创”。 派生词与合成词：出现由常见词根加上表示 “创新”“未来” 相关的前后缀构成的派生词，如 “innovative”“futuristic” 等；还有一些合成词，如 “self-innovation（自我创新）”“future-oriented（面向未来的）” 等，考查学生对构词法的掌握及词义推测能力。 2.句子方面 长难句理解：包含多个修饰成分、从句或特殊句式的长难句，如 “Those who are committed to continuous self-innovation and have a clear vision of their future are more likely to achieve their goals in this highly competitive era.”，考查学生分析句子结构、理清各部分逻辑关系及准确理解句子含义的能力。 关键句解读：文中表达作者观点、总结创新与未来规划关系等关键信息的句子，如 “Innovation serves as the cornerstone upon which a solid future plan is built.”，要求学生能准确把握句子传达的核心思想，理解其在文章中的作用和意义。 3.语篇方面 主旨大意：要求学生概括文章的中心思想，如 “The passage mainly focuses on ____.”，选项可能会涵盖创新的重要性、未来规划的方法、创新与未来规划的相互关系等内容，考查学生对文章整体内容的把握和提炼能力。 细节理解：针对文章中关于创新案例、未来规划具体措施等细节内容设题，如 “What is the specific way mentioned in the passage to promote innovation?”，学生需要准确找到相关信息并与选项进行比对。 推理判断：根据文章内容进行合理推断，如 “It can be inferred from the passage that ____.”，可能会让学生推断创新趋势对未来职业的影响、某种创新模式的发展前景等，考查学生的逻辑推理和深层理解能力。 文章结构与写作意图：考查文章的结构组织，如 “Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage?”，以及作者的写作目的，如 “Why does the author mention these examples in the passage?”，要求学生理解文章的行文脉络和作者的创作意图。 3.文化背景与观点态度方面 文化背景知识：涉及一些与创新和未来规划相关的文化、社会背景知识，如国外创新型企业的发展模式、不同国家对未来科技发展的政策等，考查学生的文化储备和对跨文化知识的理解能力。 观点态度判断：要求学生判断作者或文中人物对创新、未来规划等的观点态度，如 “What is the author's attitude towards technological innovation?”，选项可能包括 positive（积极的）、negative（消极的）、neutral（中立的）、skeptical（怀疑的）等，考查学生对作者情感倾向和观点立场的把握能力。 六、人与自我-创新与未来规划阅读理解精练题 （2025·湖南长沙·一模）Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned. Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself. Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine. A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横梁) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems. Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥青) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators. Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.” 1．What was Paterson like in the past according to paragraph 1? A．It fell into severe disrepair. B．It rarely produced any iron. C．Its textile industry was well-known. D．Its schools were completely deserted. 2．What was the residents’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan? A．Opposed. B．Favorable. C．Dismissive. D．Uncaring. 3．What can we infer about Riesman’s students? A．Diligent and innocent. B．Funny and responsible. C．Honest and trustworthy. D．Imaginative and helpful. 4．What does the text focus on? A．Transforming old buildings to shine. B．Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall. C．Developing students’ logical thinking. D．Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是为了帮助振兴帕特森的学校和城市本身，建筑师制定了宏伟的计划来改变帕特森的老建筑，让其焕发光彩。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned.(与新泽西州“铁锈地带”的其他城市一样，帕特森也陷入了困境，曾经著名的纺织业年久失修，学校也被废弃。)”可知，在过去，帕特森的纺织工业是很出名的。冠词C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine.(正如居民们所期望的那样，这座城市有潜力发光。)”可知，居民们对思特里克兰德的计划持赞成的态度。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段的句子“But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators.(但是Riesman的学生们设想了一个完全不同的地方。其中一个学生模型包括一个游泳池、溜冰场、攀岩墙、沙盒和一个带喷泉和许多树木的池塘。15岁的Marilyn Medina是该模型的创造者之一，她说：“这很有趣，让我们觉得自己在负责并帮助社区。”)”可知，Riesman的学生们富有想象力且是乐于助人的。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是为了帮助振兴帕特森的学校和城市本身，建筑师制定了宏伟的计划来改变帕特森的老建筑，让其焕发光彩。故选A项。 （23-24高二下·四川·期中）The science of setting goals. It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves: our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time. 5 . But what if this year really could be different? Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist, shares four tips.        Choose a goal that matters, not just an easy win. Our brains love rewards, so we often set simple goals that make it easy to check off boxes. But if that’s all are about, no wonder we end up abandoning them so quickly. A meaningful goal requires going deeper. 6 . For example, if you want to quit eating junk food, ask why you want to quit it. Then, if you want to quit it for your health, ask why you want good health. 7 .When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending. But we can’t control outcomes. We have to inch toward them, one choice at a time. Ask yourself, “What is the smallest thing I can do today that helps me reach my goal?” If you make daily choices that are consistent with your goal over and over again, you will eventually reach it. Frame your goals positively. Focusing on what you want to bring into your life –not what you want to avoid — will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to trigger inhibition systems. 8 ,” says McGonigal. Prepare for failure. Moments of failure are inevitable, but most of us abandon the goal entirely when minor failures and setbacks start piling up. Your task is not to avoid failures, but to plan for them. Ask yourself, “How am I likely to fail?” For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can tide you over. 9 . A．Focus on the process, not the outcome B．Psychologists call this an emergency plan C．It really drives home why that goal matters D．Never mind that we abandoned them very quickly E．How you describe your goal makes a big difference F．Think about what you want, and then ask yourself why G．But positive goals are going to trigger approach and reward motivation 【答案】5．D 6．F 7．A 8．G 9．B 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何有效地制定新年目标。 5．根据空前“It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves: our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time.(这是一年中我们思考的时候：我们的新年决心在这个时候完全实现。)”可知，空前提到我们的新年决心在这个时候完全实现，故D项“不要介意我们如此快地抛弃它们”符合，新年决心在这个时候完全实现，故不用介意可以马上抛弃它们了，D项中的them指代的就是上文中的New Year’s resolutions，故选D项。 6．根据空后“For example, if you want to quit eating junk food, ask why you want to quit it. Then, if you want to quit it for your health, ask why you want good health.(比如说，如果你想要戒掉垃圾食品，问问你自己为什么想要戒掉它。然后，如果你是为了健康戒掉它，问问你自己你为什么想要健康。)”可知，空后举出了实例，在制定目标前需要询问自己具体的原因，故此处F项“思考自己想要什么，并问你自己为什么”符合，本空提出要询问自己为什么，空后给出具体的例子，故选F项。 7．根据空后“When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending. But we can’t control outcomes.(当我们制定目标，很容易把专注力放在神奇的结局上。但是我们不能控制结果。)”可知，空后提出我们制定目标而不能控制结果，故A项“注重过程，而非结果”符合，制定目标时，不要太专注结果，故选A项。 8．根据空前“Focusing on what you want to bring into your life –not what you want to avoid – will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to trigger inhibition systems.(专注于你想把什么带到你的生活中，而不是你想要避免什么会让你更有可能真正追求它。任何形式的回避都会触发控制系统。)”可知，空前提到在制定目标时，不能回避，而需要真正的追求。且空前一句提到了任何形式的回避都会触发控制系统，故此处G项“但是积极的目标会触发方法和奖励的动力”符合，回避会触发控制系统，然而积极的目标则会触发方法和奖励动力，积极的目标能给你带来方法和奖励，故选G项。 9．根据空前“For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can tide you over.(比如说，如果你在饿的时候可能会选择不健康的食物，那就带上一份能让你度过难关的清淡零食。)”可知，B项“心理学家称之为应急计划”是前文的顺承，在饿了可能会选择不健康的食物时，就带上一份清淡零食来应急，故心理学家称之为应急计划，B项中的this指代空前的这一操作，故选B项。 （24-25高二上·四川宜宾·期中）When her students ask what she was like at their age, Tiffany Marconi opens up about her high school experience. Her family were often on the move, which made her feel lost. “I was just kind of all over the place. My teachers in high school really helped me discover who I was and feel comfortable with myself,” Marconi says. Marconi is instrumental in building a program in Wheat on Warrenville Unit District 200. Through her “Intro to Teaching” classes, Marconi is drawing high school students to the profession (职业) at a time when a national teacher shortage makes headlines. One of the goals of the program is to give teens real-world experiences and opportunities to explore careers while they’re in high school. The curriculum is set through the College of DuPage, but Marconi creates a student-centered classroom. At the end of the term, students design their own classroom on an individual level and in small groups as a team-based challenge. Marconi doesn’t avoid talking about the realities — all the positives and some of the struggles of being a teacher. “Yes, I would love all of them to come back and teach,” Marconi says. “But I just hope honestly that it helps them figure out if they want to be a teacher, and if not, that’s OK. The one thing I always tell my students: You need to find a job, something that you love and that you are excited to do when waking up every day.” 10．Why did Marconi feel lost in her high school? A．She scored low marks. B．Her family moved a lot. C．Her teachers were strict. D．She went to school alone. 11．What does the program that Marconi works for aim to do? A．Help students get along well with each other. B．Encourage students to attend top colleges. C．Build more student-centered classrooms. D．Inspire students to go for teaching jobs. 12．What do the students need to do at the end of the term? A．Design a classroom in their own way. B．Look for a well-paid job as expected. C．Prepare themselves for the interviews. D．Discuss their curriculum with teachers. 13．Which of the following best describes Marconi as a teacher? A．Quiet. B．Impatient. C．Caring. D．Humorous. 【答案】10．B 11．D 12．A 13．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了教师Tiffany Marconi通过自己的经历激励高中生探索教学职业的故事。 10．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her family were often on the move, which made her feel lost. (她的家庭经常搬家，这让她感到迷茫)”可知，Marconi在高中时感到迷茫是因为她的家庭经常搬家。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Through her “Intro to Teaching” classes, Marconi is drawing high school students to the profession (职业) at a time when a national teacher shortage makes headlines.(通过她的“教学入门”课程，Marconi正在吸引高中生加入教师这一职业，尤其是在全国教师短缺成为新闻头条的时候)”以及第三段中“One of the goals of the program is to give teens real-world experiences and opportunities to explore careers while they’re in high school.(该项目的目标之一是为青少年提供现实世界的经验和机会，让他们在高中时探索职业生涯)”可推知，该项目旨在给青少年提供真实世界的经验和探索教师职业的机会，以激励学生从事教学工作。故选D。 12．细节理解题。根据第三段中“At the end of the term, students design their own classroom on an individual level and in small groups as a team-based challenge.(在学期结束时，学生们不仅要个人设计自己的教室，还要以小组形式作为一个团队挑战来完成这项任务)”可知，学期结束时，学生们需要自己设计教室，既是个体任务也是小组团队挑战。故选A。 13．推理判断题。通读全文，以及最后一段中“The one thing I always tell my students: You need to find a job, something that you love and that you are excited to do when waking up every day.(我总是告诉我的学生一件事：你需要找到一份工作，一份你热爱并且每天醒来时都感到兴奋的工作)”可知，Marconi分享自己的经历来帮助学生找到自我，以及她鼓励学生探索是否适合成为教师，同时告诉学生要找到自己热爱的工作。因此可以推断出她是一个关心学生的老师。故选C。 （24-25高二上·福建·期中）China’s retired (退伍) soldiers are redefining entrepreneurship (企业家精神), creating a successful company in household services, dog training, and digital platforms, showing flexibility, innovation, and a commitment to social impact. Sun Hao first discovered information about the house organizing and cleaning industry online in 2021 while still serving in the army. It was known as the “lazy economy”, where young people preferred to delegate (委托) daily household tasks to professionals, allowing themselves more time to enjoy life. Sun saw the potential in this industry, and when he retired from the military in 2022, he decided to establish his own household service company with two other soldiers. According to Sun, the military’s stringent internal requirements equipped retired soldiers like him with specific skills and self-imposed standards, which they applied to their new job. “With all increasing consumer demands for an improved quality of life, basic household cleaning is no longer enough to meet people’s desires for an enhanced lifestyle,” said the 27-year-old. Sun and his teammates are part of a remarkable group of young entrepreneurs, who, having bravely served their nation, are now making the most of their skills and experiences to create a new trail in the business world. There are many memorable moments in Sun’s career, and one of them occurred during the early stages of the company. In April 2023, Sun received an inquiry from an elderly woman asking whether they could make dumplings as part of their service. Sun knew she must have made a mistake, but instead of refusing her demand right away, Sun talked to the woman and found that she lived alone and had physical illnesses that made it difficult for her to move around. The next day, Sun and his four colleagues went to her home, provided free deep cleaning, and made dumplings for her. “At that moment, I felt a great sense of achievement,” Sun said. “We received support from the people in the military, and now that I’ve retired from the military, I can still use my own strength to contribute to public welfare.” Currently, Sun’s team consists of 20 people, with 18 of them being soldiers before. “We primarily focus on employing retired soldiers to provide them with increased employment and business opportunities” he said. “My dream is to lead more retired soldiers to collectively innovate in employment and help more people,” Sun said. 14．Which statements are less likely to be the “lazy economy”? ①30-year-old Jack employed a babysitter to take care of his little baby. ②An employer dedicated an scientific experiment to a professional company. ③Young people purchased services like sweeping the floor from online apps. ④A girl’s friend helps to feed her dog when she is travelling abroad. A．①③ B．②④ C．①④ D．②③ 15．What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? A．Demanding. B．Thorough. C．Considerate. D．Specific. 16．Sun has done a lot to serve people and the nation, EXCEPT______. A．providing free household services for people in trouble B．safeguarding the nation courageously C．helping retired soldiers establish companies D．improving service quality based on the market needs 17．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Sun and his teammates — committed soldiers B．Some memorable moments in sun’s career C．Sun and his teammates: from soldiers to entrepreneurs D．Sun’s dream as a soldier 【答案】14．B 15．A 16．C 17．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国退伍军人孙浩和他的团队如何从军人转变为成功的企业家，利用自己的技能和经验在服务业、训狗业和数字平台等领域创业，并为社会带来积极影响。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It was known as the “lazy economy”, where young people preferred to delegate daily household tasks to professionals, allowing themselves more time to enjoy life.(这被称为“懒人经济”，即年轻人更喜欢将日常家务委托给专业人士，从而为自己留出更多时间享受生活。)”可知，懒人经济是指年轻人更倾向于将日常家务委托给专业人士，从而让自己有更多的时间享受生活。①“30岁的杰克雇了一个保姆来照顾他的小婴儿”符合懒人经济的定义，因为他将照顾孩子的任务委托给了专业人士。②“雇主把科学实验交给一家专业公司”中的科学实验不是日常家务，而是工作领域的专业任务，因此不符合懒人经济的定义。③“年轻人从网上应用程序购买扫地等服务”符合懒人经济的定义，因为他们通过购买服务来委托日常家务。④“一个女孩的朋友在她出国旅行时帮忙喂她的狗”是朋友之间的互助行为，并非委托给专业人士，因此不符合懒人经济的定义。综上所述，只有②和④不太可能属于“懒人经济”。故选B。 15．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文““With all increasing consumer demands for an improved quality of life, basic household cleaning is no longer enough to meet people’s desires for an enhanced lifestyle,” said the 27-year-old.(“随着消费者对提高生活质量的需求日益增长，基本的家庭清洁服务已不足以满足人们对更高品质生活的向往，”这位27岁的年轻人说道。)”可知，军队严格的内部要求让像他这样的退役士兵具备了特定的技能和自我要求的标准，并将这些技能和标准应用到了他们的新工作中。由此可知，stringent意为“严格的，苛刻的”。故选A。 16．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The next day, Sun and his four colleagues went to her home, provided free deep cleaning, and made dumplings for her.(第二天，孙和他的四位同事来到她家，为她提供了免费的深度清洁服务，并为她包了饺子。)”可知，孙浩为陷入困境的人提供免费家政服务，选项A不符合题意；根据文章第四段“Sun and his teammates are part of a remarkable group of young entrepreneurs, who, having bravely served their nation, are now making the most of their skills and experiences to create a new trail in the business world.(孙和他的队友是一群了不起的年轻创业者中的一员，他们曾勇敢地为国效力，如今正充分利用自己的技能和经验，在商界开辟出一条新的道路。)”可知，孙浩和他的队友曾勇敢地为国家服务，所以选项B不符合题意；根据文章第三段“According to Sun, the military’s stringent internal requirements equipped retired soldiers like him with specific skills and self-imposed standards, which they applied to their new job.(据孙介绍，军队严格的内部要求使像他这样的退役士兵具备了特定的技能和高标准的自我要求，并将这些技能和标准应用到了他们的新工作中。)”可知，是军队的严格内部要求使孙浩这样的退伍军人具备了高要求的技能和标准，并将这些技能和标准应用于他们的新工作中，而并非孙浩帮助退伍军人建立公司，所以选项C符合题意；根据文章第三段“With all increasing consumer demands for an improved quality of life, basic household cleaning is no longer enough to meet people’s desires for an enhanced lifestyle.(随着消费者对提高生活质量的需求日益增加，基本的家庭清洁服务已不足以满足人们对更高品质生活的追求。)”可知，孙浩会根据市场需求提高服务质量，所以选项D不符合题意。故选C。 17．主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“China’s retired soldiers are redefining entrepreneurship, creating a successful company in household services, dog training, and digital platforms, showing flexibility, innovation, and a commitment to social impact.(中国的退伍军人正在重新定义企业家精神，在家政服务、狗狗训练和数字平台方面创立了一家成功的公司，展现了灵活性、创新性和对社会影响的承诺。)”，紧接着第二段和第三段介绍了孙浩在军队期间发现了家政服务行业的潜力，并在退伍后创立了自己的家政服务公司，第四段和第五段介绍了孙浩和他的队友在创业过程中的一些难忘时刻，第六段和第七段介绍了孙浩的创业团队主要招聘退伍军人，以及他的梦想是带领更多的退伍军人共同创新就业，由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了孙浩和他的队友从士兵到企业家的转变。故选C。 （24-25高二上·重庆·期中）My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn. I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs. Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal. My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much. 18．What is the purpose of mentioning the author’s professor in the first paragraph? A．To show how humorous his professor was. B．To introduce what the concept of “Pinocchio” is. C．To describe how interesting his university life was. D．To explain what encouraged him to pick his career. 19．What can we infer from the second paragraph? A．Crossed arms always indicate defensiveness. B．Understanding body language requires specific skills. C．Spoken words are more trustworthy than body signals. D．Facial expressions, postures, and gestures convey insignificant information. 20．Why do people act in an unusual way after knowing the author’s occupation? A．They believe he is studying them. B．They consider him aggressive. C．They don’t like his service. D．They are rooted in shock. 21．What does the author think of his job? A．Stable but difficult. B．Flexible but demanding. C．Fulfilling but challenging. D．Innovative but fast-paced. 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．A 21．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对自己的影响。 18．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication.(我对肢体语言的好奇始于我大学里的一位教授。在一个清爽的早晨，他开玩笑地指出，每当我为他上课迟到编借口时，我就会蹭鼻子。他用“匹诺曹”这个扣人心弦的概念吸引了我。事实上，当一个人说谎时，血液会涌到鼻子上，多余的血液会让鼻子发痒。这个非语言交流的小例子激励我成为一名肢体语言专家。现在，我通过培训人们的非语言沟通来谋生)”可知，作者大学时的一位教授从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣。由此推知，作者提到教授是为了解释什么鼓励他选择自己的职业。故选D。 19．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.(所有这些都说明了很多，只有你知道如何理解这些符号，你才能理解它们)”及本段介绍了一些体态语表示的内容可知，理解肢体语言需要特定的技能。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading.(每当我遇到一个新朋友，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高警惕，不再放松。他们真的会愣住，试图隐藏他们认为我在读的所有信号)”可知，接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然，是因为他们觉得作者会研究他们。故选A。 21．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction.(我的工作生活给了我很大的满足)”及“It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.(这有时会让生活变得困难，但我认为这是为我喜欢的工作付出的小小代价)”可知，作者的工作让作者很有满足感，但有时候会有挑战。故选C。 （24-25高二上·云南·期中）A native foundation, Destiny Trust, has launched a technological programme-Kids Innovation Africa (KIA), an inspiring initiative that highlights the importance of early education in technology and creativity, designed to empower children with essential skills in coding, design, robotics, and the arts. The initiative aims to provide children, particularly those from underserved communities, with the tools to shape the future and create innovative solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems. The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology. According to organizers, KIA offers free and low-cost access to technology and art` education, and the goal is to identify, develop, and showcase the talents of young children, ensuring that even those from disadvantaged backgrounds are not left behind in the digital age. For many participants, the programme was not just an opportunity to learn but a chance to bring to life the ideas they had been working on and dreaming about. The founder of the Destiny Trust, Mr. Abimbola Ojenike, laid great stress on technology in shaping the future of underprivileged children. She said: “We understand that the very best way we can favour them is by giving them skills that are in demand.” According to Ojenike, the Destiny Trust doesn’t just bring out a gift from a child, but others benefit from it, and that makes them unique. “We’re ensuring that every child, regardless of where they come from, is prepared for our digital future and given the skills they will need to thrive in today’s world,” Ojenike added. 22．What does “underserved communities” refer to in the first paragraph?

(“命运信托”致力于帮助生活在困境中的儿童，包括那些流落街头、桥下或生活在极端贫困中的儿童。)”可知，该倡议是为了帮助那些处于不利条件的儿童，因此“underserved communities”应该是指那些条件不好的地区或社区。选项B“Areas with limited access to resources. (资源获取有限的地区。)”意思相似。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology. (“命运信托”致力于帮助生活在困境中的儿童，包括那些流落街头、桥下或生活在极端贫困中的儿童。除了让他们入学接受教育，“命运信托”还认识到，需要为这些儿童提供切实可行、长期有效的技能，特别是在科技领域。)”可知，“命运信托”除了让孩子入学接受教育，还致力于为他们提供核心技能，特别是科技领域的技能。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““We’re ensuring that every child, regardless of where they come from, is prepared for our digital future and given the skills they will need to thrive in today’s world,” Ojenike added. (“我们要确保每个孩子，无论出身何处，都能为数字未来做好准备，并掌握在当今世界中茁壮成长所需的技能，”Ojenike补充道。)”可知，“非洲儿童创新”计划的最终目标是确保每个孩子都能为数字未来做好准备。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了“命运信托”基金会推出的“非洲儿童创新”计划，该计划旨在为儿童提供塑造未来和创造解决世界上一些紧迫问题的创新方案的工具，并强调了科技在其中的重要性。选项A“Destiny Trust empowers children with skills in tech, art.

Her decision has sparked widespread discussion. In a society that places high value on academic degrees, many people don’t understand her choice. They view attending a vocational college with such a high score as a “waste”. However, I support her decision and believe her choice is not only rational but also reflects careful career planning. Employment is a reality every graduate must face. Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out. Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well. Of course, while Chen’s decision stands out, it’s far from a widespread trend. It’s worth noting that this year’s gaokao saw some surprising shifts with high-scoring humanities students also opting (选择) for vocational schools, which has led to more complicated public reactions. Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward. 26．What does the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．awkward B．sensible C．delicate D．critical 27．Why did Chen choose Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering? A．For its location. B．For its job prospects. C．For its reputation. D．For its unique programs. 28．Which statement is true about vocational education in this article? A．It has gained greater social recognition. B．It remains undervalued by most employers. C．It is now equal in quality to regular higher education. D．It is the first choice for low-scoring students. 29．What does the author recommend when choosing an educational path? A．Following societal expectations. B．Prioritizing future job opportunities. C．Selecting majors with less competition. D．Considering personal strengths and interests. 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．A 29．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕陈雨萱高考高分选择职业学院这一事件，展开了关于社会对职业学院看法的讨论，并表达了对这一选择的支持和理解。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“However, I support her decision(然而，我支持她的决定)”以及下文“reflects careful career planning.(反映了她对职业生涯的深思熟虑的规划)”可推测，作者支持她的选择，并且认为这反映了她对职业生涯的深思熟虑的规划。由此可推测，划线词的意思应该是与“明智的”或“理性的”之意。选项B“sensible(理智的)”与此相符。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out.(陈雨萱选择职业学院是因为它拥有高的就业率，并且与中国铁路等大型公司有合作关系。在当今严峻的就业市场中，以602分的高分选择职业学院并不可耻——相反，这是非常务实的。职业学院的学生往往在实践技能方面表现出色，这使得他们在技术领域更具竞争力。陈雨萱所学的专业是铁路交通运输设备与控制，这个专业有着良好的就业前景，这表明她的选择是经过深思熟虑的。)”可知，陈雨萱选择浙江机电职业技术学院是因为它的就业前景。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well.(陈的决定挑战了社会的偏见，同时也反映了职业教育的快速发展。以上述学院为例：其铁路运输、电气和机械领域的热门专业的最低录取分数线为573分。值得注意的是，过去只能在普通大学看到的竞争激烈的课程，现在也在职业学校中提供了。)”可知，职业教育已经获得了更大的社会认可，越来越多的高分学生开始选择职业教育，而且一些竞争激烈的课程也开始在职业学校中提供。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward.(与高考申请相关的人生选择总是复杂多变的，几年前热门的专业现在可能就不那么吸引人了。在变化的时代，冷静地评估自己的能力和价值观，以确定前进的最佳道路，是至关重要的。)”可知，作者在选择教育道路方面的建议是考虑个人优势和兴趣。故选D。 （23-24高二下·江苏徐州·期中）As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, “What do you do?” 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 about it is an essential exercise for young people. One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude (才能) test”. There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. 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 analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. 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 suggestions. 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. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like to aim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there. In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now! 30．Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1? A．To support an idea. B．To introduce a topic.

In the 1900s, Chris Smith started creating boats for fishing and enjoying the water and founded a company. These boats were hand-made, and his company faced a big success, so he became famous as Chris-Craft. A boat design is the first thing every potential buyer sees, and the ones made by Chris Craft have a recognizable timeless design, which is the choice of many boat lovers. They are made of high-quality, resistant and durable mahogany (红木), and can last forever with proper maintenance. The company has spent much time and money researching in order to find a perfect engine that will fit perfectly to the design of these vessels, and luckily for all of us boat lovers, they found it. It’s the engine that makes a boat an outstanding one, and that’s precisely where these vessels dominate the market, as they have one of the best engines. Okay, we can say that some boat has great engine, looks amazing, and how fuel consumption is far less than any other boat, but all those things would be for nothing if no one is aware that they exist. That is why advertising is of such big importance today. Of course, these vessels have been with us for quite some time now, but that doesn’t mean that a good marketing campaign and even luck haven’t played a big role. Namely, the owners understood the importance of advertising and set specific goals in order to achieve as many sales as possible, but there is something else that helped them gain even more popularity. We all have a favorite movie, but some movies are classic, and everyone loves them and has at least one sequel (续集) as their to-go option. That’s precisely the role of Bond movies. For some, these movies were the first time they saw Chris-Craft boats and all the luxury and craftsmanship of their design. Once again, great advertising has proven to be highly efficient, and Bond movies were a huge success for this company as they intrigued and interested even more people in buying a boat, and what’s even more important, precisely the model that’s been in the James Bond movie. 34．What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Chris-Craft is quite popular with consumers. B．Chris-Craft is only a small-sized company. C．Chris-Craft has a long history in shipping. D．Chris-Craft is a successful business man. 35．What do we know about Chris-Craft products? A．Chris-Craft products are made of excellent materials. B．Chris-Craft products depend on proper maintenance.

D．Long history. 【答案】34．A 35．A 36．C 37．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Chris-Craft公司的成功之路，包括其产品特点、引擎优势、广告宣传以及与电影的合作等方面。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段“Going with renowned ones like classic Chris-Craft boats is always the best choice for boat lovers.

That is why advertising is of such big importance today.(我们可以说，有些船拥有卓越的发动机，外观令人惊叹，燃油消耗远低于其他任何船只，但所有这些优点如果无人知晓就毫无意义。这就是为什么广告在今天显得如此重要)” 可知，本段主要强调广告营销的重要性。故选C。 37．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That’s precisely the role of Bond movies . For some, these movies were the first time they saw Chris-Craft boats and all the luxury and craftsmanship of their design. Once again, great advertising has proven to be highly efficient, and Bond movies were a huge success for this company as they intrigued and interested even more people in buying a boat, and what’s even more important, precisely the model that’s been in the James Bond movie.(这正是邦德电影所扮演的角色。对一些人来说，这些电影是他们首次见到克里斯克拉夫特船艇及其设计中蕴含的所有奢华与工艺细节。再次证明了，出色的广告宣传效率极高，而邦德系列电影对这家公司来说是一个巨大的成功，因为它们激起了更多人购买船艇的兴趣，更重要的是，特别是那些出现在詹姆斯·邦德电影中的型号)”可知，通过在James Bond电影中展示，Chris-Craft的船只设计及其奢华和工艺吸引了大量观众的注意，使得更多人对购买这些船只感兴趣，特别是电影中出现的模型，故许多消费者是通过Bond 系列电影了解Chris-Craft 的产品的。故选B。 （23-24高二下·青海西宁·期末）As she spoke, Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking. She couldn’t, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her. They stared back, their blank faces giving no clue as to what they would say next. Feeling dizzy, Zhang Yue took a deep breath as she struggled to finish her presentation, “And that is why I need your help in turning my new and exciting business into a successful one.” Now chairwoman of her own company, Zhang Yue is fond of saying, “The early bird catches the worm.” The place where this happens is a valley, a world away from any television studio. Moving carefully through the darkness, she passes row upon row of rose plants. In an hour, these fields will be full of people, working quickly to pick the flowers before sunrise. “It has to be done then,” says Zhang. “These flowers are delicate.” Zhang never thought that this was something she would end up doing. Surrounded by roses as she was growing up, she paid them little attention. It was only after graduating from university overseas and returning to visit her parents that Zhang realised the potential. “Condition s are ideal here,” she says. “This is a place where roses grow wild. I also wanted to give something back to my home town.” She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the start-up bug. All over the world, an increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses, as the growing economy creates more opportunities. Like Zhang, they present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice, and they have the same passion and devotion. “I love running my own business, but it’s not for everyone,” says Zhang. “To succeed in business, you need more than a good idea, hard work and determination. What really matters is a sound business plan, access to capital, and good management and negotiating skills. Most of all, don’t be too ambitious. You should know your own limits and those of the people you work with. For young people who have little life experience, that can be a challenge.” 38．From the first paragraph, we know that ______. A．Zhang Yue was not a confident business woman B．Zhang Yue was happy to meet her partners C．Zhang Yue was nervous during her presentation D．Zhang Yue needed to be recognized by others 39．What does the sentence “She... bitten by the start-up bug.” mean? A．She was once bitten by a bug. B．She needs other people to help her. C．She is not the only person to be bitten by a bug. D．Many young people share her passion for entrepreneurship. 40．Which words can best describe Zhang Yue? A．Potential and doubtful. B．Passionate and devoted. C．Intelligent and experienced. D．Realistic and pessimistic. 41．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Zhang Yue’s business and suggestions for young people. B．The reason why Zhang Yue chose to be a farmer. C．How to start your own businesses. D．The introduction to Zhang Yue’s home town. 【答案】38．C 39．D 40．B 41．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了张悦的创业经历和创业心得。 38．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As she spoke, Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking. She couldn’t, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her.(张悦说话的时候，把手放在背后，以掩饰手在颤抖。然而，她无法掩饰额头上的汗珠，这部分是由于电视演播室的高温，但更多的是由于害怕坐在她面前的四个人。)”可知，张悦在讲话的时候手在颤抖，额头上留下了汗水，她害怕坐在她前面的四个人，这表明她在演讲时感到紧张。故选C。 39．词句猜测题。根据画线句下一句“All over the world, an increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses, as the growing economy creates more opportunities.(在世界各地，随着经济的不断增长创造更多的机会，越来越多有事业心的年轻人开始考虑自己创业。)”可推测出，画线句表达的是她并不是唯一一个对创业有热情的人，本句话中的“been bitten by”表示“热衷于”，“start-up bug”指的是“创业热”，由此可推测出，有很多年轻人像她一样对创业有着强烈的兴趣和追求。故选D。 40．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Like Zhang, they present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice, and they have the same passion and devotion.(和张一样，他们提出自己的想法是希望得到投资和建议，他们也有同样的激情和奉献精神。)”和最后一段中的“I love running my own business(我喜欢经营自己的事业)”可推测出，她对自己的事业充满热情（passionate）和奉献（devoted）。故选B。 41．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段通过张悦讲话的情况引出接下来张悦讲述的创业经历；第二至四段讲述了张悦的创业经历；最后一段讲述了张悦给年轻人讲述的创业建议。因此A项“张跃的创业和对年轻人的建议。”符合题意。故选A。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
