Section Ⅲ　Integrated skills Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·江苏江阴调考）Recently， as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team， I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity （逆境） on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment — it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters， and Nathan’s team was trailing （落后） for three quarters of the game.As for me， I had been fired from my job earlier in the day. 　　During my drive to where the game was held， I kept telling myself “I will find work again in a short time” — I am confident in my experience and abilities.This was the same belief that I tried to instill in my son. 　　The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing.I saw the determination on his， as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie the game， but then go ahead by three points.Then， a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again.With a tie game （平局） and seconds on the clock， Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence， he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him.The other player was called for a foul （犯规）. 　　As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points， I saw the focus and determination on his face， there was no room for self-doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill， it was as if he had done it a thousand times. 　　As I sat there， my heart bursting with pride， it dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity， and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He will play in the finals， but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses， at this moment， we both won. 1.Why did I feel sorry when watching my son’s basketball game？（　　） A.I quit my job earlier in the day.

C.The companies make reasonable rules. D.The job seekers apply for positions on time. 8.What is the best title for the text？（　　） A.A new Internet-related working model B.Job seekers more keen on flexible work C.The rapidly developing digital economy D.Companies well prepared for new risks C 　　（2025·江苏宿迁沭阳期中）Graduating students in the US often feel pressure to get ahead and secure a good career fast.This attitude is reflected in surveys published by the career search platform Handshake， which found that economic news has driven the class of 2023 to feel “anxious”， “worried” and “stressed” to the extent that they plan to apply for jobs sooner than they originally intended to.In another Handshake survey， 85％ of Generation Z job seekers reported stability to be a high priority in their job search.It’s no surprise that among a large number of students longing for certainty， the idea of taking a gap year is intimidating. 　　However， different from the traditional path， taking a gap year is not a waste of time and money.Studies on high school graduates who took a gap year before college show that it helps many students know more about their career or major selection.Other reported benefits include improved motivation and academic performance following the break.Furthermore， the Gap Year Association， a federally-recognized Standards Development Organization for gap year programs in the US， collected surveys revealing that students who take a gap year before college are more likely to graduate in four years or less when compared to the national average. 　　Importantly， a gap year need not be an expensive project.While spending thousands of dollars for specialized gap year programs is one way to ensure a productive， well-structured experience， this route falls outside most graduates’ budgets.Instead， students can take advantage of gap year scholarships and paid opportunities that are available both at home and abroad.Additionally， many volunteer programs offer stipends （助学金） and cover the cost of room and board. 9.What did Handshake surveys find？（　　） A.Economy majors found it hard to find a job. B.Most Generation Z job seekers prioritize stability. C.Graduating students are hesitant to receive an offer. D.The US encouraged the class of 2023 to take a gap year. 10.What does the underlined word “intimidating” mean in the first paragraph？（　　） A.Frightening. B.Understandable. C.Attractive. D.Misleading. 11.What can we learn about the gap year from the second paragraph？（　　） A.It determines the choice of major. B.It helps figure out future career paths. C.It lowers the graduation rate in the US. D.It leads to poor academic performance. 12.What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year？（　　） A.Doubtful. B.Intolerant. C.Favourable. D.Unclear.
