Born in 1742 in present-day Germany,Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age.When he was 14,he was sent away to Gothenburg(哥德堡) to become the apprentice(学徒) of a family friend.There he spent eight years studying chemistry and conducting experiments late into the night.Next,Scheele moved around the Holy Roman Empire,working for different chemists and becoming more learned in his trade.In 1767,he moved to Stockholm,where he discovered tartaric acid (酒石酸). After three years in Stockholm,he became the director of the Locke Laboratory.It was there,while he was analyzing a strange reaction,that Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen. He called the element “fire air” because he believed,based on the theories of his time,that a substance that made up fire was released from items when they burned.Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance,not understanding that oxygen is merely an element that facilitates (促进) the chemical reaction that is fire.  As historic as this discovery was,Scheele seldom got credit for it,largely because English scientist Joseph Priestley published findings on oxygen before Scheele,even though it is now generally accepted that Scheele made the actual discovery first. Through his work,he thus exposed himself to many harmful materials.These chemicals had a deadly effect on Scheele,and he eventually died of kidney failure in 1786. Sadly,in spite of his many achievements and the fact that he gave his life to chemistry,Carl Wilhelm Scheele is often forgotten in the history of science.Though he discovered many elements before other better-known scientists did,his unwillingness to both attend meetings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and to publish his work allowed other scientists to take credit for discoveries that he had made. 1.Who first taught Chemistry to Scheele? A.His parents. B.Joseph Priestley. C.His family friend. D.The Holy Roman Empire. 2.When did Schele probably discover oxygen? A.In 1745. B.In 1767. C.In 1770. D.In 1789. 3.What do the underlined words “the element” refer to? A.Oxygen. B.Tartaric acid. C.The strange reaction. D.The chemical experiment. 4.What can we learn about Scheele from the text? A.He has been world-famous since the 1700s. B.He actually died due to his dangerous work. C.He discovered oxygen later than Joseph Priestley. D.He thought his findings were not valuable at all. B (2025辽宁锦州高二期末) In the future,we may be doing a job that doesn’t even exist yet now.The requirements,levels and styles of all kinds of work are being updated very fast,which means we need to understand how we can make ourselves qualified for future roles that may appear. There’s no way to tell exactly what skills will be needed,and which ones will become unnecessary.However,based on current observations and patterns of how artificial intelligence (AI) and robots work,we have some basic ideas about how we can prepare for the future. According to a report,human cognitive (认知的) and interpersonal skills will be very important requirements in future workplaces,even with the rise of AI.One thing we need to understand is that it is humans that will manage and control machines.Future workers will need new skills to work with machines.The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner. Lifelong learning enables an individual to learn anywhere and anytime.Lifelong learning isn’t just about digital or AI skill.It’s about having a mindset that allows the brain to be open and receptive at any given time and place. The style of work changes over time,so do styles of learning.Different people learn in different ways.Traditional classroom or online platforms might not be the most useful approaches in the future.Since information is everywhere,it takes an open mindset to be always ready to effectively absorb,evaluate(评价) and make sense of the information that is so easily accessible wherever we are. At the same time,adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things.However,a lifelong learning mindset can help change this.Moreover,lifelong learning increases employ ability.Amazon says lifelong learning will help its employees use new technologies.And many Amazon employees say it’ll open new opportunities for them to grow and change into new roles. 5.What does the author say about future jobs? A.They might come in unexpected forms. B.They are for people of high intelligence. C.They will be mainly performed by robots. D.They need employees to take on many roles. 6.Which will be the most significant skill in future workplaces? A.Having a different mindset. B.The ability to keep learning. C.Having the knowledge of AI. D.The ability to control machines. 7.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A.The shortage of digital skills. B.The loss of new opportunities. C.The traditional way of doing things. D.The employee’s lack of adaptability. 8.What is the best title for the text? A.It Is Never Too Late to Learn B.It Is Difficult to Be a Lifelong Learner C.Lifelong Learning Is the Future of Work D.Lifelong Learning Will Help People Create New Jobs 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.rank v.　　　　　  2.release v.　　　　　  3.receptive adj.　　　　　　　　  二、词块速记 1.pay a big price 　　　　　　　　　　  2.take credit for discoveries 　　　　　　　　　　　　  三、长难句分析 As historic as this discovery was,Scheele seldom got credit for it,largely because English scientist Joseph Priestley published findings on oxygen before Scheele,even though it is now generally accepted that Scheele made the actual discovery first. 分析:本句为主从复合句。as...as引导　　　　　　　　从句,采用了倒装结构;because引导　　　　　　　　从句;even though引导　　　　　　　　从句;that引导　　　　从句,it为　　　　　　　　。  句意:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.lens　2.grocery　3.faraway　4.celebrity　5.craft Ⅱ.1.with　2.fashionable　3.uncomplicated　4.for　5.for Ⅲ.1.a wide range of magical creatures　2.put all her heart into writing the story　3.had I seen such a breathtaking view　4.It was the encouragement from my coach that　5.No matter how dark the night seemed Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.posed a challenge to himself　2.his initial lack of experience;his passion for self-improvement　3.every training session was tough　4.His devotion to this goal　5.was fascinated by the feeling of crossing the finish line　6.reminded himself of his determination　7.Fashion trends in sportswear　8.he kept at it　9.ran with all his might Activity 2 In the school’s track and field arena,Ben posed a challenge to himself by signing up for the grueling 5000-meter race.Despite his initial lack of experience,his passion for self-improvement burned bright.At first,every training session was tough,and he often lagged behind others.However,his devotion to this goal never wavered.He was fascinated by the feeling of crossing the finish line,exhausted but triumphant.With each lap,he reminded himself of his determination.Fashion trends in sportswear didn’t matter to him,but what counted was his perseverance.Day after day,he kept at it.Finally,on the race day,he ran with all his might,showing that with unyielding dedication,one can overcome any obstacle. Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍的是科学家Carl Wilhelm Scheele的生平和主要成就。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Born in 1742 in present-day Germany,Scheele learned about chemicals from his parents starting at a young age.”可知,第一个教Scheele化学的是他的父母。故选A项。 2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 1767,he moved to Stockholm,where he discovered tartaric acid.”和第三段内容可推知,Scheele可能是1770年发现氧气的,故选C项。 3.A　词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Scheele became the first person to identify oxygen”和第四段画线词后的“Scheele believed oxygen to be this substance”可知该词指代“氧气”。故选A项。 4.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,Scheele实际上是由于他的危险工作而去世的。故选B项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了未来工作的形式可能是意想不到的,而人类认知和人际交往能力在未来工作场所非常重要,其中最重要的是终身学习的能力,终身学习有助于员工适应变化并增加就业能力。 5.A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“In the future,we may be doing a job that doesn’t even exist yet now.”可知,作者认为未来的工作可能会以意想不到的形式出现。故选A项。 6.B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner.”可知,在未来的工作场所中,最重要的技能是持续学习的能力。故选B项。 7.D　词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“At the same time,adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things.”可知,上文说的是习惯传统做事方式的员工缺乏适应能力,可推理出this指代的是员工缺乏适应能力这种情况。故选D项。 8.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容、第三段中的“The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner.”以及最后一段中的“At the same time,adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things.”可知,文章主要讲述了在未来工作中,终身学习能力非常重要,它有助于员工适应变化并增加就业能力等内容。故选C项。 知识积累卡 一、1.位列　2.释放　3.乐于接受的 二、1.付出巨大代价　2.把发现归功于自己 三、让步状语　原因状语　让步状语　主语　形式主语 尽管这项发现具有重大的历史意义,但Scheele 却很少因此获得赞誉,这在很大程度上是因为英国科学家Joseph Priestley在Scheele 之前发表了关于氧气的研究成果,尽管现在人们普遍认为实际上是Scheele 首先发现了氧气。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
