(2025黑龙江哈尔滨市第三中学校月考)
Even before Molly Johnson-Jones graduated from Oxford University in 2015, she felt professional pressure to land a “prestigious(享有声望的)” job in a high-powered industry. She says she and her university friends felt that there were professions that carried prestige—particularly in the fields of finance, medicine and law. That's why Johnson-Jones ended up in investment banking for two years once she graduated, even though it didn't feel like quite the right fit.
These kinds of “very traditional industries” have indeed carried prestige, says Jonah Stillman, co-founder of Gen Guru, a firm that focuses on different generations in the workplace. As Gen Z join the workforce, however, experts and younger workers say what's considered a “prestigious” job may be expanding. Some younger workers do still report making money is important, especially as the cost of living shoots up; and working for certain firms or in specific industries can make a career. But many also place equal stress on other elements, such as values of the company, flexibility, and freedom from long, intense work hours.
And some data indicates that Gen Z are indeed turning to more meaningful work. April 2023 data from LinkedIn of more than 7,000 global workers shows 64% of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values. The data also shows these young workers highlight the work-life balance and career growth as top draws in potential workplaces.
This change in Gen Z's attitude towards work may be in part because mechanisms(机制) behind finding jobs and seeing other possible career paths are changing, says Josh Graff, managing director of EMEA and LATAM at LinkedIn. “With a greater number of jobs being posted online, people have so much more access to information today than we did when we were applying for a job 20 plus years ago. This allows you to have much better visibility into a wealth of information,” he says. “That is leading people to understand there's a wider range of options out there.”
4.Why did Johnson-Jones end up in investment banking?
A.She had a passion for finance.
B.She wanted to make a lot of money.
C.She found herself well suited for the career.
D.She felt pressure to take a highly-regarded job.
5.What is the main point of paragraph 2?
A.Making money is still the main concern of younger workers.
B.Gen Zers are not interested in prestigious traditional jobs.
C.The definition of a prestigious job is changing for younger workers.
D.Short-time work is considered reputable by younger workers.
6.What do most Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland consider important when it comes to work?
A.Whether they can have a good job title.
B.Whether they can receive a good salary.
C.Whether companies' values are in line with theirs.
D.Whether they have enough opportunities to socialize.
7.What might be contributing to the change in Gen Z's attitude towards work?
A.The changing job searching methods.
B.A lack of high-paying jobs in traditional industries.
C.The growing stress on companies' social responsibility.
D.Increased access to information about potential career paths.

Part 1 Reading and Thinking

Ⅰ.1.on 考查介词。句意:我的选择基于我想要的生活方式。be based on...意为“以……为基础”,故填on。
2.in 考查介词。句意:最近他因为赌博而负债累累,所以他不值得我们同情。be in debt意为“负债”。故填in。
3.lawyer 考查名词。句意:如果你有兴趣成为一名能远程工作的律师,你必须先获得学士学位,之后再攻读三到四年的法学院课程。根据空前的becoming a可知,这里应填名词,根据语境可知,设空处表示职业,故填lawyer“律师”。
4.accountant 考查名词。句意:约翰一生都在做会计师,他的日常伴侣是数字,而不是颜料和画布。由空前的冠词an可知设空处应用名词,表示“会计师”,故填accountant。
5.on 考查介词。句意:月光投下长长的阴影,他暗中观察废弃房屋中移动的人影,不知不觉地感到一阵恐惧。spy on表示“暗中监视/窥探……”。故填on。
6.detective 考查名词。句意:该影片将传统中医这样的中华文化元素编入侦探情节,展示了中华文化的魅力。weave...into...意为“把……编入(复杂的故事);把某物编织到……去”,所以“the (detect) plot”为名词短语,作into的宾语,表示“侦探情节”,故用detective作定语。
7.participants;participation 考查名词。句意:所有参与者都完成了分配给他们的任务,他们的参与促成了这个项目的成功。根据All可知,第一空应填复数名词participants,表示“参与者”;第二空表示“参与”,应用participation,为不可数名词。
8.Moving 考查动名词。句意:全球范围内人员与商品的运输造成了很大一部分二氧化碳排放量。分析句子结构可知,该句为主系表结构,“ (move) goods and people around the world”为句子的主语。结合语境可知,主语为一般性概念,所以应用动名词形式,且设空处位于句首,首字母大写,故填Moving。
9.that 考查同位语从句。句意:当局不同意残疾人不适宜教学的观点。设空处后面的部分解释说明了view(观点)的具体内容,且语义完整,不缺成分,所以设空处引导同位语从句,故填that。
10.where 考查定语从句。句意:经济下行冲击了她曾工作十年的那家房地产公司,她在那里担任办公室经理。结合语境可知,设空处后面部分要表达的意思是she had worked at the real estate firm for ten years as an office manager,所以设空处引导定语从句,且在从句中作地点状语,先行词为the real estate firm。故填关系副词 where。

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.are asked 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:成年人在彼此第一次见面时被问及工作情况很常见。 adults与ask之间是被动关系,此处需用被动语态,由语境可知这里为一般性描述,应用一般现在时,主语为复数,故填are asked。
2.truly 考查副词。设空处修饰形容词necessary,需用副词truly。
3.on/upon 考查介词。 decide on/upon意为“决定;选定”。句意:也许决定你将来从事什么职业是很难的。
4.bouncing 考查现在分词。句意:有些人确信自己想做什么,但是其他许多人只是有一些在脑子里蹦来蹦去的想法。yet后的分句已有谓语,故设空处应填非谓语动词,结合语境可知,设空处应作后置定语修饰thoughts,thoughts与bounce around之间为主动关系,需用现在分词bouncing。
5.effective 考查形容词。根据设空处前面的the most和后面的名词ways可知,此处需用形容词,故填effective。
6.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空格前的内容意思完整,空格后的内容缺少results的定语,故设空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作定语,故填whose,此处表示“测试的结果”。
7.participants 考查名词复数。句意:有各种各样的职业能力倾向测验,其中一个受欢迎的测验要求参与者就他们对各种工作任务的偏好进行打分。此处参与者不止一个人,需用名词复数,故填participants。
8.conclusion 考查名词。in conclusion意为“总之,综上所述”,为固定短语。
9.a 考查冠词。句意:总之,职业能力倾向测验显然是一个有用的工具,它们可以用于指导。根据句意可知,此处表示泛指,故用不定冠词,又因为useful的发音以辅音音素开头,所以填a。
易错归因 本题容易误填an,因为useful以元音字母u开头,但我们需要注意的是,确定填a或an的标准是后面单词的发音以元音音素开头还是以辅音音素开头,而不是单词以元音字母开头还是以辅音字母开头。
类比启发 类似useful以元音字母开头,发音却以辅音音素开头的单词还有unit、university、uniform、usual、Europe等。
10.is 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,好的职业的真正秘诀是找到你热爱的事情。设空处为谓语动词,根据全文语境可知设空处用一般现在时,主语“the real secret”为单数,故填is。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两位大学生选择到中国农村进行实习,以获得实践经验并探索职业道路。
【高频词汇】 1.major in...主修…… 2.initiative n.倡议 3.connect...with...把……与……联系起来
4.talented adj.有天赋的,有才华的 5.first-hand adj.第一手的,亲身的 6.breathtaking adj.令人惊叹的,激动人心的

【差距词汇】 a beaten path常有人走的路
长难句 creatives and freelancers with internship opportunities at rural businesses).
译文:自从她看到一则“新农人”的广告,她就决定体验乡村生活,“新农人”是一个政府倡议,为学生、有才华的创作者/搞创作的人和自由职业者提供在农村企业实习的机会。
1.majoring 考查现在分词。句意:刘昱阳是西安外国语大学旅游管理专业的本科生。句中已有谓语,设空处提示词为动词,故应用非谓语动词,major in意为“主修”,根据语境可知设空处修饰前面的undergraduate,二者为主动关系,故填现在分词majoring。
2.has decided 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自从她看到一则“新农人”的广告,她就决定体验乡村生活,“新农人”是一个政府倡议,为学生、有才华的创作者/搞创作的人和自由职业者提供在农村企业实习的机会。分析句子结构可知,设空处为谓语,根据时间状语“since she read an advertisement for ‘New Farmers’”可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语为第三人称单数She,故填has decided。
3.creators/creatives 考查名词复数。设空处与students,freelancers为并列的三个名词,所以此处应用名词复数。creative本身可用作名词,表示“搞创作的人”,也可用creator,表示“创作者”,故填creators或creatives。
4.offers 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这则广告招聘的是一家乡村酒店的一个职位,刘昱阳认为这是一个理想的机会,能让她在体验中国农村生活的同时获得第一手的实践知识。分析句子结构可知,which引导非限制性定语从句,“Liu thinks”为插入语,设空处为从句中的谓语,根据语境和主句的谓语动词is 可知,此处应用一般现在时态,关系代词which在从句中作主语,指代先行词a position(第三人称单数),故填offers。
5.Struck 考查过去分词。句意:被佛坪令人惊叹的景色打动,她确信自己找到了一个完美的实习生的工作。设空处所在句已有谓语(feels),所以设空处应用非谓语动词,提示词strike与句子主语she之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。设空处位于句首,首字母大写。故填Struck。
易错归因 本题strike的过去分词易拼写为striked,注意strike的过去式和过去分词为不规则变化,拼写均为struck。
知识拓展 stricken 也曾是strike的过去分词,但在现代英语中几乎不再用作过去分词,而是用作形容词,描述受到某种负面情况或强烈情感的严重影响或打击。如:the stricken boat失事的船;a poverty-stricken area 贫困地区。
6.who 考查定语从句。句意:就读于西北大学计算机科学专业的徐文将开始在农村的一家酒店工作。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的先行词Xu Wen,指人,关系词在定语从句中充当主语。故填who。
方法归纳 语法填空出现“名词+ +谓语动词”,即“名空动”的结构时,设空处一般填定语从句的关系代词。
7.further 考查形容词比较级。句意:只有有了新的经历,你才能期待在生活中取得更大的进步。这里表示抽象概念,意为“更进一步的”,应用far的比较级further。故填further。
知识辨析 far的比较级有两种形式:farther和further,区别如下:
核心用法
使用场景
farther
强调具体距离的“更远”
物理空间、实际路程等
further
强调抽象意义的“更进一步”,也可以表示空间距离
程度、时间、数量等,也可以表示物理空间
8.an 考查冠词。句意:对于许多“处在十字路口”、或许不确定该走哪条路的人来说,到农村实习已经成为一个选择。option是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,该词发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
9.to follow 考查不定式。根据前面的介词of可知,设空处应填不定式,构成“疑问词+名词+不定式”结构(what path to follow),作介词 of的宾语。故填to follow。
10.to 考查介词。句意:如今,越来越多的本科生更喜欢获得现实世界的经验,而不是简单地在职业生涯中走一条寻常路。prefer doing sth. to doing sth.意为“比起做某事更喜欢做某事”。故填to。

【熟词生义】 discipline 熟义:n.纪律 生义:n.知识领域
【差距词汇】 administrative adj.行政的
1.D 细节理解题。根据ESSENTIAL DUTIES下的“Lead the operations of all educational programs”可知,教育主管在所有教育项目的运转中起主导作用,即管理各种教育项目。故选D。
易错归因 本题容易误选A项“为动物园编制年度预算”,文章中提到了“Prepare annual budgets for the Education and Volunteer Departments”,但文章指的是为教育和志愿者部门编制年度预算,而不是动物园,所以A项犯了偷换概念的错误。
2.C 细节理解题。根据QUALIFICATIONS下的“Five years of experience with educational program development...”和“Experience working with children...”可知,这个职位必须具备相关领域的经验。故选C。
3. A 推理判断题。根据QUALIFICATIONS下的“Experience working with children, the youth and families of diverse backgrounds and income levels.”“Proficiency in spoken and written communication to effectively share information from multiple disciplines with diverse audiences with varied backgrounds.”以及PHYSICAL DEMANDS下的“Reasonable accommodations may be provided to enable employees with disabilities to perform essential functions.”可知,这份工作需要面向不同人群,沟通对象具有多样性,且会为残疾员工提供合理的便利条件让他们能工作。由此推知,这份工作具有包容性(inclusive)。故选A。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如今年轻人对于拥有声望的传统行业的看法以及Z世代(通常是指1995年至2009年出生的一代人)的择业倾向。

【差距词汇】 a wealth of大量的
长难句That's .
译文:那就是为什么约翰逊-琼斯一毕业就在投资银行工作了两年,尽管她觉得自己并不是非常适合这份工作。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she felt professional pressure to land a ‘prestigious’ job in a high-powered industry”和“she and her university friends felt that there were professions that carried prestige—particularly in the fields of finance, medicine and law”可知,Johnson-Jones最终在投资银行工作是因为她感受到要找一份有声望的工作的压力,在压力之下选择了这个工作。故选D。
5.C 主旨大意题。第二段讲到,随着Z世代进入职场,被认为有声望的工作的范畴可能正在扩大。一些年轻的工人仍然认为赚钱是重要的,在某些公司或特定行业工作可以建立职业生涯。但许多人也同样重视其他因素,如公司的价值观、灵活性和免于长时间紧张工作的自由。故可推知,第二段的要点是对年轻员工来说,有声望的工作的定义正在发生变化。故选C。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“64% of Gen Zers in the UK, Germany and Ireland now consider it important to work for companies that share their values”可知,在英国、德国和爱尔兰,大多数Z世代认为工作中重要的是公司的价值观是否与他们的一致。故选C。
7.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,Z世代对待工作的态度的这种变化部分原因可能是找工作和看到其他可能的职业道路背后的机制正在发生变化。随着越来越多的工作被发布到网上,与20多年前相比,现在人们获得信息的途径更多,这让人们可以更好地了解各种信息。这种变化让人们明白,他们有更广泛的选择。由此可知,获取潜在职业道路信息的渠道增加可能正在促成Z世代对工作的态度的改变。故选D。
