课时作业(三十六)　Unit 5　Launching Your Career Ⅰ.阅读理解 A★ (2025·滨州二模)Early in my career, I was easily overwhelmed.My responsibilities, commitments and ambitions piled up into this mass that I felt immeasurably large—until, one day, when I worked in federal contracting, my manager gave me something that is still on the bulletin board over my desk 26 years later, even as I've now transformed my career: It's a postcard picture of Earth. He wanted me to look at Earth and think about the significance of what I was trying to accomplish, and the stress I was feeling, and to do so in the context of what others around the world faced.I started to do this during late nights in my office, when I hadn't seen my family in days, as I lived on caffeine and cheese nabs.I imagined the good happening to people around the globe.I also imagined the bad—people starving, enduring war, or losing their homes—and then weighed my situation.I would say a prayer for them, and I would remember that my time on Earth was limited. With this perspective and my manager's encouragement, I went back to school, then took a job with a Fortune 500 firm as a contracts manager and rose to become a director and VP.I have recently started my own consulting business to mentor small companies entering federal contracting.I've found that many folks feel they must make a good impression or prove themselves, and that to do so, they cannot admit when they need help.But I can see it in their eyes or hear it in their voices.I tell them what my manager told me: Step away for a few minutes, prioritize your actions, and focus on what your best can be in that moment. That is how I hope to make a difference in their lives.And who knows, maybe beyond what I see, my presence ripples (传开) out to their circles of influence, which reaches others'— creating waves again to those that make up all that blue in my picture of Earth. 1．What's the function of paragraph 1? A．To arouse readers' interest. B．To show the author's strong emotion. C．To introduce the author's current status of work. D．To illuminate the author's ups and downs in his career. 2．Why does the author still keep the postcard picture of Earth? A．Because he needs its navigation when at a loss. B．Because he has gained a favored job with its help. C．Because he was required by his manager to value it. D．Because he views it as a reminder of thinking overall. 3．What does the underlined word “mentor” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Instruct.　　　　B．Absorb. C．Invest. D．Encourage. 4．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．The Influence of My Manager. B．The Ripples of the Big Earth Picture. C．The Stress Coming from Responsibilities. D．The Good and the Bad Happenings in My Career. 【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在职业生涯中如何从压力中找到出路，并通过自己的经验去帮助他人。 1．A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Early in my career, I was easily overwhelmed.My responsibilities, commitments and ambitions piled up into this mass that I felt immeasurably large—until, one day, when I worked in federal contracting, my manager gave me something that is still on the bulletin board over my desk 26 years later, even as I've now transformed my career: It's a postcard picture of Earth.(在我职业生涯的早期，我很容易不知所措。我的责任、承诺和抱负堆积成一团，让我感到无比庞大——直到有一天，当我在联邦合同公司工作时，我的经理给了我一样东西，26年后的今天，它仍然挂在我办公桌上方的公告板上，即使我现在已经改变了我的职业生涯：这是一张地球的明信片。)”可知，作者描述了自己早期职业生涯中的困扰和压力，以及他的经理给他的一张地球的明信片照片，这张照片在他的职业生涯中起到了重要的作用。这段的目的是引发读者的兴趣，让读者想要了解这张照片如何影响作者的职业生涯。故选A。 2．D　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He wanted me to look at Earth and think about the significance of what I was trying to accomplish, and the stress I was feeling, and to do so in the context of what others around the world faced.(他想让我看看地球，想想我正在努力完成的事情的意义，以及我所感受到的压力，并在世界上其他人所面临的背景下这样做)”以及“I imagined the good happening to people around the globe.I also imagined the bad—people starving, enduring war, or losing their homes—and then weighed my situation.(想象着世界各地的人们都在享受美好。我也想象着那些糟糕的人——挨饿的人，忍受战争的人，失去家园的人——然后权衡我的处境。)”可推知，作者保留这张地球的照片是因为它提醒他要全局思考。故选D。 3．A　词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“I have recently started my own consulting business(我最近开始了自己的咨询业务)”以及“entering federal contracting(进入联邦合同的小公司)”可推知，我最近开始了自己的咨询业务，以指导进入联邦合同的小公司。mentor在这里的意思是指导。故选A。 4．B　主旨大意题。根据最后一段“That is how I hope to make a difference in their lives.And who knows, maybe beyond what I see, my presence ripples (传开) out to their circles of influence, which reaches others'—creating waves again to those that make up all that blue in my picture of Earth.(这就是我希望改变他们生活的方式。谁知道呢，也许在我所看到的之外，我的存在波及到他们的影响圈，影响到其他人ｰｰ再次波及到那些在我的地球图片中构成所有蓝色的人。)”可知，作者讲述了他如何通过一张地球的照片找到职业生涯的方向，并通过自己的经验去帮助他人，产生了影响力的涟漪。因此，B选项“The Ripples of the Big Earth Picture(地球照片引起的涟漪)”最能概括文章的主题。故选B。 B★ (2025·河南联考)As we get older, we realize that time is short, which often leads to a readjustment of our priorities—whether it's wanting to spend more time with family, or doing something we really love.As such, many consider upskilling or retraining, to pursue a new passion, or even achieve a lifelong childhood dream that they never had the chance to do before. However, there may still be apprehension—and you may be wondering, “Is this really something I can do at my age？” Victoria, a 50 Plus Champion at Jobcentre Plus, says, “It can be daunting (令人畏惧的) to change jobs at any age, but it's never too late.In fact, the older you are, the more you understand what you enjoy and what you're good at.” Then how can you get into a new job? The key is to understand your strengths and be able to recognise the transferable skills you have.It's crucial to make a list of all the skills you've acquired from different occupations and life experiences, for instance, attending to children or elderly relatives or managing a household budget.Consider trying the Midlife MOT which can help you plan your work, health and money for the future on the website.It could help you when thinking about the sorts of roles you want to go for. Numerous employers place a high value on the contributions that seasoned professionals can offer, hence it is advisable not to restrict your job search.For instance, further educational institutions, such as colleges and training centres, are constantly in pursuit of individuals with extensive experience in a particular industry to pass on their knowledge.Additionally, the healthcare and social services sector, including the National Health Service(NHS), acknowledges the significance of incorporating experienced workers into their workforce to enhance its overall efficacy (效力). People aged over 50 bring life skills and experiences, communication skills and emotional intelligence, which creates a really multi­generational workforce. 5．What does the underlined word “apprehension” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Understanding. B．Regret. C．Excitement. D．Anxiety. 6．What is the Midlife MOT? A．A web­based tool. B．A training course. C．A job hunting centre. D．A social welfare programme. 7．What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 4? A．The necessity to make yourself stand out. B．The way to demonstrate your relevant skills. C．The types of business you should consider. D．The significance of hiring experienced workers. 8．What does the text mainly focus on? A.Bosses you should consider when seeking a job. B．Training courses you should take before you retire. C．Specific knowledge you need to do a certain job well. D．Things you should know to secure employment in your 50s. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了50多岁时找一份新工作时需要考虑了解的一些事情。 5．D　词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线单词后的句子“and you may be wondering, ‘Is this really something I can do at my age？’ (你可能会想，‘我这个年纪真的能做这件事吗？’)” 可推断，此处 apprehension 的意思是“焦虑”。故选D。 6．A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Consider trying the Midlife MOT which can help you plan your work, health and money for the future on the website.(可以考虑尝试一下网站上的《中年生活指南》，它可以帮助你规划未来的工作、健康和金钱。)” 可知，Midlife MOT 是一个在线工具。故选A。 7．C　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Numerous employers place a high value on the contributions that seasoned professionals can offer, hence it is advisable not to restrict your job search.For instance, further educational institutions, such as colleges and training centres, are constantly in pursuit of individuals with extensive experience in a particular industry to pass on their knowledge.Additionally, the healthcare and social services sector, including the National Health Service(NHS), acknowledges the significance of incorporating experienced workers into their workforce to enhance its overall efficacy (效力).(许多雇主都非常重视经验丰富的专业人士所能提供的贡献，因此建议不要限制你的求职范围。例如，高等教育机构，如学院和培训中心，不断追求在某一特定行业具有丰富经验的个人，以传授他们的知识。此外，保健和社会服务部门，包括国家卫生服务体系，认识到将有经验的工人纳入其劳动力队伍以提高其整体效率的重要性。)”可知，本段用一些例子，如继续教育机构、健康和社会保健以及NHS，来说明你应该考虑哪些类型的行业。故选C。 8．D　主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Then how can you get into a new job? The key is to understand your strengths and be able to recognise the transferable skills you have.It's crucial to make a list of all the skills you've acquired from different occupations and life experiences, for instance, attending to children or elderly relatives or managing a household budget.(那么你怎样才能找到一份新工作呢？关键是要了解自己的优势，并能够认识到自己拥有的可转移技能。把你从不同的职业和生活经历中获得的所有技能列一张清单是至关重要的，例如，照顾孩子或年迈的亲戚或管理家庭预算。)”以及整篇文章可知，本文主要介绍了50多岁的时候考虑找一份新工作，你需要了解的一些事情。故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·潍坊月考)I had never picked up a camera before my freshman year in 2012, when my journey to an artist began.For four years, I __1__ G­Star School of The Arts, where my __2__ for photography and filmmaking were awaken.
