Unit 5　LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER同步话题真题检测 一、阅读理解 1.[2023·全国乙卷B] Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways,sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have travelled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil􀆳s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However,we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos,they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. (　)24.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A.By teaming up with other photographers. B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C.By studying the geographical conditions. D.By creating settings in the corn fields. (　)25.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A.Proper time management. B.Good shooting techniques. C.Adventurous spirit. D.Distinctive styles. (　)26.What can we infer from the author􀆳s trip with friends to Devil􀆳s Lake? A.They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D.They had problems with their equipment. (　)27.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil􀆳s Lake? A.Amusing. B.Satisfying. C.Encouraging. D.Comforting. 2.【2023北京卷B】 Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the e-mail sender’s name. The e-mail started off：“Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme—had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the e-mail, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 24．How did the author feel upon seeing the e-mail sender’s name? A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled. 25．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert C．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work 26．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing 27．What can we learn from this passage? A．An invitation is a reputation. B．An innovation is a resolution. C．A rejection can be a redirection. D．A reflection can be a restriction. 3.[2022·浙江6月考C] Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job. In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practised the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practised extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields—the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist. How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer,” says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort. Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.” (　)27.What does Ellen Langer’s study show? A.It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B.Translation makes people knowledgeable. C.Simpler jobs require greater caution. D.Moderate effort produces the best result. (　)28.The underlined word “go-getter” in Paragraph 3 refers to someone who 　　　　.  A.is good at handling pressure B.works hard to become successful C.has a natural talent for his job D.gets on well with his co-workers (　)29.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B.Experience unrelated to your job is useless. C.A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. D.Focusing on what you do raises productivity. (　)30.What does the text seem to advocate? A.Middle-of-the-road work habits. B.Balance between work and family. C.Long-standing cultural traditions. D.Harmony in the work environment. 4.[2023·山西省晋中市高三三模] Most people want to live a life that feels meaningful. 1.　　　　, especially if you’re young.

She always wore colourful clothing and had a colourful personality to match. She was brave, beautiful, outgoing, and generous. Despite her modest beginnings, she managed to turn her passion for dance into a successful career. Amelia’s journey began when she got accepted into the famous Juilliard School of Dance in the heart of Manhattan. With dedication and discipline, she sharpened her skills, specializing in ballet. Her graceful movements and remarkable talent earned her awards and paved the way for a promising future. She went on to teach dance at Juilliard and later toured the world as a member of the New York City Ballet. Although I had never attended one of her professional productions, I was eventually treated to an unexpected, semi-private solo performance by her. While I was visiting her as a young girl, she surprised me with an outing to a grand theatre to watch a ballet performance. The theatre was large, spacious, and decorated with beautifully crafted wooden balconies and private boxes. We were seated in the front row at ground level. Towards the end of the show, the lead dancer twirled (旋转) across the stage with elegance and precision. The beautiful music grew louder, and the audience became fascinated by the amazing show. Right at this moment, my aunt rose from her seat, then turned and faced the audience. I instantly slipped down in my seat, unsure of what was happening. With graceful movements, Amelia seamlessly joined the dancers on stage, effortlessly blending (融入) into the performance. The audience were all shocked at first. However, as Amelia showed her dance skills, twirling across the stage and expressing emotions through her movements, they couldn’t take their eyes off her. It seemed like she was meant to be there. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Paragraph 1: As the music ended, Amelia calmly returned to her seat, breathing steadily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Inspired by Amelia, I decided to pursue my own dream of dancing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5　LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER同步话题真题检测 一、阅读理解 1.[2023·全国乙卷B] 【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者作为一名风景摄影师是如何应对挑战,拍出高质量的风景照片的。 24.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.”可知,作者往往和几个朋友一起去州立公园或乡村探险,沿途拍照,来应对在美国中西部地区作为风景摄影师的挑战。故选B项。 25.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.”可知,在任何摄影风格中,在正确的时间出现在正确的地点是非常关键的。故作者认为恰当的时间管理是风景摄影成功的关键。故选A项。 26.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, we did not mark the route(路线)so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely.”可知,作者和朋友们没有标出路线,所以几乎完全错过了日落。由此可推知,他们比预计到达拍摄地点的时间晚了。故选C项。 27.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.”可知,作者认为如果自己当时能提前做好准备,明智地管理时间的话,这些照片会更好,但还是认为它们是自己拍摄的最棒的一些照片。由此可推知,作者觉得这些照片是令人满意的。故选B项。 2.【2023北京卷B】 【文本分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name.

People began to rise, applauding and cheering, unable to contain their admiration for the unexpected treat they had just experienced. Amelia’s radiant smile mirrored their excitement as she graciously accepted their praise. She then turned to me, eyes twinkling with a naughty glimmer, “Was that a good show, my dear?” At that moment, I realized the true power of art to transcend boundaries and touch lives. It was a lesson that would stay with me. Inspired by Amelia, I decided to pursue my own dream of dancing. I enrolled in dance classes and immersed myself in the world of movement and expression. Countless hours were spent in rehearsal studios, pushing my body to its limits and sharpening my craft. There were times when exhaustion set in, and doubts crept into my mind, but I always remembered Aunt Amelia’s grace and passion, which fueled my determination to succeed. The solo performance in that theatre forever altered the course of my artistic journey, serving as a reminder that extraordinary moments can happen unexpectedly, and that true brilliance knows no limits. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
