Ⅱ.学表达技巧
象征手法
[教材1] Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,/And sorry I could not travel both
[分析] 该诗句中,两条各奔一方的路象征着我们在人生中所面临的选择。这首诗形象地描绘出人们面临选择时犹豫不决的心态。每一个读者都不难从这首诗歌中找到自己的影子,与诗人产生共鸣,这正是这首诗广为流传的原因之一。
象征手法能够将抽象的意象具体化从而婉转地表达出不易明说的情感,增强作品的艺术表现力和感染力。

(2024·浙江省五校联盟高二下期末联考)About eight years ago, Li Jinglong and Guan Dian visited the Palace Museum in Beijing.The cloisonne (景泰蓝瓷器) objects on display attracted them in particular.They spent hours looking at those beautiful objects.They just couldn't take their eyes off them.
Born and raised in Beijing, 35yearold Li is no stranger to cloisonne, since there were a pair of cloisonne vases in his grandparents' home.His wife, 34yearold Guan, who learned to paint as a child and later became a designer after graduating from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, is also familiar with cloisonne, as it appears in her art books.As a result of their visit, the couple made the daring decision to open a workshop.
“We learned cloisonne after seeing the pieces displayed in the Palace Museum.We wanted to turn our hobby into a career so that people could enjoy and learn to make the craft themselves,” said Li, who worked in a finance company before quitting his job to launch Handcraft Addicted, a DIY workshop where participants can make cloisonne.Since 2018, they have opened three workshops in Beijing.They are happy to give people a glimpse of the traditional techniques of cloisonne as part of a DIY experience.
Instead of focusing on making traditional cloisonne objects, such as plates and vases, the workshop allows participants to create the designs they want on surface of glass, resin (树脂) or wood.Although the process has been simplified, it is still not easy for people trying cloisonne for the first time to succeed.Participants spend months making one piece, which they take home or give friends as presents.It's a luxury for people to spend time alone and fully focus on one thing nowadays because of the fast pace of life.Participants come to the workshop not only to create art, but also to take a break from their busy lives.

(2024·临沂高二下期末联考)We spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers.Historically, work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose.During the vast majority of our 300,000year human evolution (进化), work was in fact pretty simple.We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else, like spirituality, art, religion, or science.
The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful—is a rather modern, if not postmodern,invention.Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn't earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn't experience a sense of purpose.
Similarly, the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice.Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago.His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role.Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day, without bringing their whole self to work.Work is just not a core aspect of their identity, and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother,husband, captain of the local soccer team, etc.
Others, however, have very low psychological distance with their work role, seeing it as essentially intertwined (交融的) with who they are.They don't just come to work; they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs.They are, it seems, almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics (工作狂) most companies long for.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章介绍了人们对于工作的不同看法。
5.Why did we spend much of our adult lives working?
A.To prepare for future careers.
B.To find the water sources.
C.To help us evolve.
D.To make us survive.
D [细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.”并结合文章第一句可知,我们工作是为了生存。故选D。]
6.Why did the writer mention the worker a century ago?
A.To help us find meaning at work.
B.To prove that the idea was modern.
C.To show us the bad old days.
D.To complain about the experience.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The idea that we are meant to...if not postmodern,invention.”并结合第二段第二句可知,作者提到一个世纪以前的工人是为了证明“人们将自我带进工作中”这个想法是现代的。故选B。]
7.Which of the following might William Kahn agree with?
A.Employees have different understandings about their work role.
B.Every employee must bring their whole self to work.
C.To be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea.
D.Workers' core identity is built on art categories.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“His point was that...with their work role.”并结合第三段最后两句可知,William Kahn认为员工对自己的工作角色有不同的理解。故选A。]
8.What kind of employees do most companies favor?
A.Those who see work as a job.
B.Those who identify with their work role.
C.Those who are fully devoted to their work.
D.Those who possess experience.
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“They don't just come to...the type of workaholics (工作狂) most companies long for.”可知,大多数公司更喜欢全身心投入工作的员工。故选C。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每题2分,共10分)
(2024·安徽师大附中高二下期末)Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls.1.
Here's how you can create a new chapter in your life.
Draw a Line Mentally
Life is going to throw a lot of problems in your way, so you need to be mentally prepared for each and every situation.2. In order to be better than before, you need to leave that guilt and shame in the past and emerge as someone new.The secret here is to never stop trying.Once you stop trying, you are already defeated.
Learn from Others
It is an effective approach to find people that have gone through the same trials as you have.
3. They can assist you better since they know the hardships.Always seek out people who are truly free of their issues, as they will be able to help you genuinely.
Do What Actually Works
4. Don't follow the path to anger and destroy what is good for you.Actively engaging in battles and struggles can be challenging, but being stuck in pain and selfresentment will be even harder.
Picture your goals in your mind and take sensible steps towards them with each passing day.
5. Let nothing stand in your way.
A.What truly matters is how you react to them.
B.You can learn from their experiences and successes.
C.Live in reality and make wise choices for yourself.
D.Find those who have successfully overcome similar challenges.
E.In such situations, drawing a mental line can be helpful.
F.Nothing should prevent you from achieving your dreams and goals.
G.It is essential to stay positive and focused on what brings you joy.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。跌宕起伏是人生常态,关键看你如何应对。从他人经验中学习,找到克服过类似挑战的人,保持积极的态度,做出明智的选择,每天朝着目标迈出合理步伐,不被任何事物阻挡。
1.A [上文提到“Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls.”可知,生活充满了胜利和失败。接下来的内容应该强调重要的是你如何应对这些情况。选项A“真正重要的是你如何应对它们”符合逻辑。故选A。]
2.E [本段标题为“Draw a Line Mentally”,强调在面对生活中的问题时,要在心理上有所准备。选项E中的“drawing a mental line”与标题相呼应,且内容“在这种情况下,画一条心理防线是有帮助的”也符合前文描述的场景。故选E。]
3.B [从上文 “It is an effective approach to find people that have gone through the same trials as you have.”可知,从他人身上学习是一个有效的方法,因为其他人已经经历过类似的考验,了解其中的困难。选项B“你可以从他们的经验和成功中学习”直接体现了这一思想。故选B。]
4.C [本段标题为“Do What Actually Works”,强调要活在现实中,做出明智的选择。选项C中的“Live in reality and make wise choices for yourself”直接对应了标题和后文段落内容。故选C。]
5.F [上文 “Picture your goals in your mind and take sensible steps towards them with each passing day.”强调要在心中描绘目标,并朝着它们迈出明智的步伐,不被任何事物阻挡。选项F“没有什么能阻止你实现你的梦想和目标”与这一意思相符,强调了实现目标的决心和信心。故选F。]
