Yesterday, my class had a discussion about future jobs. My best friend Lily and I both felt excited to 1 our ideas.

I thought it was a great 3 —Lily is always patient and careful, which perfectly fits the role of a nurse.
When she asked about my plan, I couldn’t give an answer 4 . I used to consider being a teacher, 5 I enjoy helping my classmates with their difficult homework. But last month, I wrote an article about our school trip to the countryside, and my teacher 6 it for its vivid details (生动的细节). I felt very proud of myself. Now I’m not sure—maybe I want to be a writer instead?
Lily listened carefully and said, “It’s okay to 7 your mind. The most important thing is to pick a job that matches your interests.” Her words inspired (启发) me a lot. I realized I don’t need to make a final 8 immediately. I can try different things, like writing or helping kids study, to find what 9 me best.

Passage 15
Has anyone asked you a question like this, “What do you want to be when you 1 ?” When I was in junior high, people around me often asked the same question. Unlike my classmates, I would stay silent instead of answering with a smile. My teachers were 2 . “Don’t you have a dream job?” they would ask. “You should really think about it.”
In fact, I had dream jobs—lots of them. I was just not sure how to 3 my ideas to answer that question.
I always dreamed of becoming a teacher 4 I enjoyed grading papers. As a way to 5 for exams, I would create a test for myself, take it and grade it. I also dreamed of becoming a radio broadcaster because I thought I had a sweet 6 .
As I grew older, I learned more about myself and 7 jobs. My dream of becoming an English teacher won in the end. It led me to study English in college. But during my second year, I 8 I wasn’t good at public speaking, while a teacher has to talk to a lot of people every day.
Now, I’m working as an editor of English articles in a publishing house. In some ways, I still teach, but through words on paper. My old 9 didn’t disappear, either. Instead, they helped me in other ways.
If you also have lots of dreams and are unsure of your future, you don’t have to choose one dream forever. Try different things! Believe me, and you’ll learn more about yourself and the world. Every 10 is useful. Just keep your dreams alive and move forward with confidence.

【导语】本文是一位医生对自己工作的自述,介绍了工作中充满挑战但也充满意义,包括救治病人、安抚家属以及与团队合作,最大的回报是看到患者康复。
1. 句意:我的工作充满挑战,但我热爱它。
根据后文描述需要做重要决定、救治急症患儿等,可知工作充满“挑战”,应用challenges。games“游戏”、stories“故事”、prizes“奖品”均与医生工作的实际内容不符。
2. 句意:每天,我都要为病人做重要的决定。
医生的工作涉及为病人做出医疗“决定”,应用make decisions。mistakes“错误”、friends“朋友”、noises“噪音”均不符合医生职责。
3. 句意:我们互相支持,共同合作帮助病人。
根据后文“work together”可知,团队成员之间是“支持”关系,应用support each other。take“拿”、provide“提供”、learn“学习”均不能准确表达团队协作的互助关系。
4. 句意:一个男孩被送到医院,他病得很重,需要立刻救治。
被送到医院急需救治,说明孩子“病重”,应用sick。strong“强壮的”、happy“开心的”、angry“生气的”均与需要急救的语境矛盾。
5. 句意:我必须迅速行动去救他。
根据前文“needed help at once”可知,情况紧急,需要“迅速”行动,应用quickly。hardly“几乎不”、suddenly“突然”、surely“肯定地”均不能体现紧迫性。

【导语】本文介绍了一项关于希尔学校100名学生未来职业理想的调查结果,涵盖了从艺术家到企业家等多种选择,并鼓励大家坚持梦想。
1. 句意:我们做了一项关于学生们长大后打算从事什么工作的调查。
由于空格所在为固定搭配,表示“长大”,应用grow up。get up意为“起床”,come up意为“走近;发生”,look up意为“查阅”,均不符合“长大”的语境。
2. 句意:35%的学生希望成为著名的明星。
上文提到学生们对未来职业的梦想,结合下文举例“音乐家”、“运动员”,可知他们想成为知名的“明星”,应用stars。singers“歌手”范围过窄,actors“演员”和dancers“舞者”均无法涵盖体育领域。
3. 句意:一些喜欢运动,所以他们想成为篮球或足球运动员。
前句“喜欢运动”与后句“想成为运动员”构成因果关系,应用so表示“所以”。but表转折,or表选择,and表并列,均不合逻辑。
4. 句意:因为电脑和互联网正在改变我们的生活。
根据后文“人们可以用互联网在电脑上做很多事”可知,与互联网并列改变生活的应是“电脑”,应用computer。book“书”、camera“相机”、dictionary“字典”均与互联网改变生活的主题无关。
5. 句意:电脑和互联网让我们的生活变得更便捷。
根据常识,电脑和互联网给生活带来的通常是积极便利的改变,应用easier“更容易”。harder“更困难”、more difficult“更难”、more boring“更无聊”均与技术进步带来的正面影响相反。
6. 句意:学生们决定努力学习。
固定搭配try one’s best to do sth.意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”,其中one’s需用形容词性物主代词,此处主语是The students,对应their。them是宾格,themselves是反身代词,they是主格,均不能用于所有格结构。
7. 句意:他们想让我们的国家更强大、更美好。
“让国家更强大”是正面愿望,空格应与stronger并列,同为积极形容词的比较级,应用better“更好”。faster“更快”、taller“更高”、smaller“更小”均不符合使国家变得更好的语境。
8. 句意:他们或许有一天能赚很多钱。
根据前文“自己创业”、“有更多时间做想做的事”的语境,创业的常见目标之一是获得财富,应用make much money,表示“赚很多钱”。job“工作”、hobby“爱好”、doctor“医生”均与“赚”搭配不当或不合逻辑。
9. 句意:还有其他工作供学生选择,例如医生、教师和司机。
表示“例如”的固定搭配是such as,as为介词,后面接名词或名词短语。in、at、of均不能与such搭配构成举例短语。
10. 句意:你的梦想或许最终会实现。
根据句意,鼓励坚持梦想,梦想有朝一日会实现,应用finally“最终”。luckily“幸运地”、quickly“快速地”、easily“容易地”均不如finally贴合“坚持不放弃最终实现”的逻辑。

Passage 14
Yesterday, my class had a discussion about future jobs. My best friend Lily and I both felt excited to 1 our ideas.
Lily said she wanted to be a nurse.

When she asked about my plan, I couldn’t give an answer 4 . I used to consider being a teacher, 5 I enjoy helping my classmates with their difficult homework. But last month, I wrote an article about our school trip to the countryside, and my teacher 6 it for its vivid details (生动的细节). I felt very proud of myself. Now I’m not sure—maybe I want to be a writer instead?
Lily listened carefully and said, “It’s okay to 7 your mind. The most important thing is to pick a job that matches your interests.” Her words inspired (启发) me a lot. I realized I don’t need to make a final 8 immediately. I can try different things, like writing or helping kids study, to find what 9 me best.
Our teacher told us that every job plays a big role in society, as long as we devote ourselves to it. She hopes we all can make our dreams 10 . No matter what we choose, we should keep supporting each other all the way.
