Ⅱ.融合教材·主题探究
【改编自人教选必四U5】
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.
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education. This, however, is not always easy. Some people know what they want to do from a young age, but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.
One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude (倾向) test”. The results of the test will tell you about your strengths and interests, and some tests also suggest careers that you may be suited to. Having this information will provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like. There are many free tests online, so give one a try. Getting a head start in considering your future career may help you for the rest of your life. You don't want to look back in years to come and say, “I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”
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, 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.
1.Why is it important for young people to take time to think about their career?
A.Because they want to impress others with their ambitions.
B.Because it helps them define who they are and what they want in life.
C.Because it is a requirement of their education system.
D.Because it will ensure they get a high-paying job.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The career you have defines your life...exercise for young people.”可知,年轻人花时间思考自己的职业是因为这有助于他们定义自己是谁以及在生活中想要什么。
2.When is the best time for young people to start thinking about their future careers?
A.After they graduate from high school.
B.When they are still in primary school.
C.While they are still in secondary school.
D.When they are already working in a job.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The best time to start thinking...your further education.”可知,开始思考未来职业的最好的时间是在选择是否进一步接受教育之前,也就是在中学时期。
3.What can career aptitude tests help young people do?
A.Decide what subjects to study at school.
B.Get a job immediately after graduating.
C.Discover their strengths and interests.
D.Learn how to be successful in their career.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The results of the test...careers that you may be suited to.”可知,职业倾向测试可以帮助年轻人发现他们的优点和兴趣。
4.What is important to remember when completing career aptitude tests?
A.To answer all questions quickly.
B.To focus on what you want to do in the future.
C.To rate all work scenarios equally.
D.To be honest and not worry about right or wrong answers.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Of course, while completing...no right or wrong answers.”可知,在完成这类测试时,重要的是要诚实,不要担心对错。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·葫芦岛四校高二期中联考)Bookstores are fascinating places.That's because the books on the shelves can take you to magical lands, and help you learn a foreign language or cook a delicious meal.But because technology develops rapidly and times change with it, many brick-and-mortar bookstores need to change to survive in the market.So sometimes you have to change your mind.A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country was the result.That is the case for Rita Collins, 70, who dreamed of opening a bookstore after retiring from teaching.
A business planning class from the American Booksellers Association convinced Collins to abandon her idea that she wanted to open a bookstore in the small town where she lives, which would not be sustainable.Eureka, Montana, located just seven miles from the Canadian border, only has a population of 1,517.Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were skeptical.But she persevered.
Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns.She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore.First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in.Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transit.Collins named her bookstore St Rita's Amazing Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.
At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016.After she retired in 2017, it became a full-time job all year round.Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states, stopping at festivals and events along the way.While the locations change, some things always stay the same. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. While she loves what she does, Collins doesn't think she can keep doing it.In several years, she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore onto another bibliophile who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述柯林斯创办移动书店,并且带着她的书店走遍了美国的30个州的故事。
1.Why did Collins abandon the idea of opening a bookstore?
A.It was not approved.
B.It was not promising.
C.It would be out of date.
D.It would cost a lot of money.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A business planning class...would not be sustainable.”和“Eureka, Montana...only has a population of 1,517.”可知,在镇里开书店没有发展前景。
2.Why were the shelves designed at a 15-degree angle?
A.To keep the bookstore's balance.
B.To beautify the mobile bookstore.
C.To protect the books from falling down.
D.To make full use of space of the shelves.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then she had to have it refitted...stay in place while in transit.”可知,移动书店的每一层书架倾斜15度角的目的是防止书在车子行驶过程中掉落。
3.Which of the following can best describe Collins?
A.Generous and lovely.
B.Determined and social.
C.Merciful and delightful.
D.Intelligent and reasonable.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Collins asked her instructors...But she persevered.”可推知,柯林斯意志坚定;根据最后一段中的“Collins loves meeting people and making connections.”可知,柯林斯喜欢社交。
4.What does the underlined word “bibliophile” in the last paragraph mean?
A.An editor. B.A publisher.
C.A book lover. D.A famous writer.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后的定语从句“who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road”可知,画线词指与柯林斯有共同的兴趣,并且会一直坚持运营移动书店的人。由此可推知,该词意为“书籍爱好者”。

About two months ago, I removed the pupular Delivery app from my phone. Not because I didn't like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.
“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That's truly unbearable!
I deleted the app and haven't used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I've discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I'd been ordering food without much thought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.
These changes have cost me one thing—time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it's been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.
The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).
