Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career, some people complain like this:Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade, I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don't think I would be a very good farmer, the results are probably a lot more accurate than I'd like to admit.At the time, it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical activities.Now, I think it might have had some points that fit my personality:I like planning(good for planning how to grow crops), working by myself(for those long days on an agricultural machine), and sometimes working on a team(for harvest time).
Watch out for any personality test that claims to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal you'd like to be, or from your favorite breakfast food as a child.While there are many personality assessments that are accurate, I'd like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-assessments.
Before finding ways to know your work preferences, it's important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year marine(海洋的)biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the Whale Watch program,where he found out that he became violently seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of your interest.If that career doesn't exist, my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way, you will succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.

(2024·安徽高二期末)
Marei S.B.,25,got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado,where she interned(实习)at Woodward,Inc.,an American designer,manufacturer,and service provider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world's largest aircraft companies.Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward,helping train the operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components.
“This was my very first internship,and I was amazed by the aerospace industry,” she said.“We were always crunched under deadlines,and customers,understandably,requested large work orders.There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant.This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is,but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.”
The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills.She worked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward.“The operations team didn't necessarily have engineering degrees,so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words that we use,” she said.“It taught me to be specific and precise.Even if I have to repeat things three or four times,that's totally fine.I'd rather be more repetitive and ensure each step is correct than have to rework the entire process.”
Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on how to manufacture specific products.That brought its own unique thrill,as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended.
Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter.She'll have another semester's worth of engineering knowledge,which will further her into the career she's always wanted.“I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said.“The internship taught me the technical knowledge I'd need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.”

6.What does the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Extremely busy. B.Desperately frustrated.
