阅读表达短文
Life felt like a mountain hike with designated stops-high school,college-where I could figure
out my direction.I chose chemistry as my college major because it seemed to provide different career
options.Learning organic chemistry reactions wasn't frustrating or boring,but I did not "love"
my subject.
After finishing my undergraduate degree,I wanted financial independence.I looked for jobs
but most needed a master's degree.I got into a graduate program and chose it,though I didn't
plan to continue to a Ph.D.
However,I began to question my belief that I was not suited for a Ph.D.when I started the
laboratory research project.I spent a lot of time in the lab and never felt bored.Mastering my
project required constant learning and discovering.I started to prefer experiments over classes.
As my master's was drawing to a close,my confusion peaked.With my scores,I was in a
good position to be hired by government-funded companies-a great opportunity I didn't want
to waste.And everyone I talked to advised securing a stable job instead of pursuing a Ph.D.,
so I continued on to the interview stage.Still,I couldn't ignore my growing interest in research.
One week before my scheduled interview with my top-choice company,I backed out.I was going
to pursue a Ph.D.
I've completed my doctorate and am now an independent academic researcher.I have worked
with others who are far more enthusiastic and were always sure they wanted to be scientists.I
wondered how I traveled so far without "love"for the subject.Over the years,though,I have
realized that neither success nor failure makes me go overboard or slip into depression.There are
2
ups and downs,but it just feels right every morning to go to the laboratory and do experiments
to learn something new.Although I have started my career as a“reluctant'”(不情愿的)chemist,
I am now ready to proclaim my love for what I do.All the way I try to see the relevant problems
and solve them for my own satisfaction.That makes me no less capable than my peers,and no less
deserving of a space in science.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:53.Because it seemed to provide different career options.
54.When he started the laboratory research project during his graduate
program.
55.The false part is "because he failed in the job interview".The author
backed out of the interview one week before it was scheduled,not because he
failed.
56.(Not necessary.One can start with practical reasons and develop love
gradually through engagement and solving problems,as the author did
53.考点:细节信息查找
语境:文中明确提到“I chose chemistry as my college major because it seemed to
provide different career options.”,直接说明了选择化学专业的原因是“它似乎能提供不同
的职业选择”。
54.考点:细节信息定位
语境:根据“However,I began to question my belief that I was not suited for a Ph.D.
when I started the laboratory research project.”可知,作者开始质疑自己不适合读博的
信念是在“开始实验室研究项目时”,且此时他正在攻读研究生,故补充“during his graduate
program”使信息更完整。
55.考点:细节理解与逻辑判断
语境:文中提到“One week before my scheduled interview with my top-choice com-
pany,I backed out.I was going to pursue a Ph.D.”,说明作者是主动在面试前一周退出,
并非面试失败才选择读博,因此“because he failed in the job interview”是错误部分。
56.考点:观点表达与逻辑阐述
语境:作者以自身经历说明最初并非热爱化学,但通过接触研究、解决问题逐渐产生热爱。因此
可从“不必一开始就热爱,可在实践中培养”的角度回答,结合文中“it just feels right..…do
experiments to learn something new”“solve them for my own satisfaction”等内容
