(2024·湖南岳阳校际联考)
Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones,according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies,a job market analytic company in Boston.
It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require.What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data gathering and analytic,or design using digital technology.
Burning Glass came up with the term “hybrid jobs” to describe these kinds of positions,which require skills not normally found together.For example,these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising,or engineering and sales.“The jobs of the future don’t involve just one skill,” says Matt Sigelman,chief manager of Burning Glass.
The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028,but the hybrid jobs by 21%.What’s more,hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills.For example,a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one,with an average yearly salary of $100,000.Moreover,an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for a software company can more than double her pay from $180,000 to $400,000.
While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs,people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date,with only 12% possibility of being replaced by machine,compared with 42% for general jobs,says Burning Glass.Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles,so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and,most importantly,more training after leaving college.That means workers,bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是复合型职业,并提到未来找工作需要拥有多种技能。
4.Why did Burning Glass research into job advertisements?
A.To understand the growth of best-paid workers.
B.To compare workers’ experience with new abilities.
C.To find out companies’ requirements about skills.
D.To tell the possible changes in future job market.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require.”可知,该公司研究招聘广告是为了了解企业对技能的要求。故选C。
5.Which of the following jobs can be hybrid?
A.Data engineer.
B.Machine operator.
C.Marketing manager.
D.Medical consultant.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example,these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising,or engineering and sales.”可知,数据工程师的工作涉及数据和工程两方面技能,是复合型的。故选A。
6.How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year?
A.$180,000. B.$71,000.
C.$41,000. D.$10,000.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example,a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one,with an average yearly salary of $100,000.”可知,传统营销经理的年薪可能是10 000÷(1+41%)≈71 000美元。故选B。
7.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A.Future Jobs Requiring “Hybrid” Skills
B.How to Get Trained for Jobs
C.Tips on Finding Fastest-growing Jobs
D.The Jobs with Highest Pay
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第三段内容可知,文章主要介绍了未来的工作需要多种技能,A项概括主旨,适合作为标题。故选A。
C
To the Swedes,there are few smells more pleasant than that of surstromming(鲜鱼罐头).To most non-Swedes there are probably few smells more disgusting.In determining which scent(气味) people find pleasant and which they do not,surstromming suggests culture must play a large part.
New research,however,suggests that might not be the case.Artin Arshamian,a psychologist,began with the expectation that culture would play an important role in determining pleasant smells.They had noticed from their own previous work that people from different cultures described smells differently.They also knew from past experiments by other researchers that culture was important in determining which sorts of faces people found beautiful.Thus,they expected to see a similar phenomenon with smells.
To study how scent and culture relate,Dr.Arshamian and Dr.Majid presented nine different groups of people with ten smells.The participants varied widely.They included hunters,farmers,gardeners,and city folk.All 235 participants were asked to rank smells according to pleasantness.The team compared their results to earlier work on New Yorkers who had been exposed to the same scent.
The researchers noted that pleasantness rankings of the smells were remarkably consistent regardless of where people came from.Overall,the chemical composition of the smells that the researchers presented explained 41% of the reactions that participants had.In contrast,cultural factors accounted for just 6% of the results.Dr.Arshamian and Dr.Majid point out that this is very different from how visual perception(感知)of faces works—in that case a person’s culture accounts for 50% of the explanation for which faces they find beautiful.
While culture did not shape perception of smells in the way that it is known to shape perception of faces,the researchers did find an “eye of the beholder” effect.Randomness,which the researchers suggest has to be coming from personal preferences learned from outside individual culture,accounted for 54% of the difference in which smells people liked.The “eye of the beholder” effect does not slip off the tongue so easily but it appears to be a real phenomenon also.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了根据一项新研究,文化可能不会显著影响人们的气味偏好。
8.Why did the author mention the Swedes in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To show Swedes’ favourite scent.
C.To stress the part of culture.
D.To illustrate people’s preference for scent.
答案 A
解析 写作意图题。根据第一段“To the Swedes,there are few smells more pleasant than that of surstromming(鲜鱼罐头).To most non-Swedes there are probably few smells more disgusting.In determining which scent(气味) people find pleasant and which they do not,surstromming suggests culture must play a large part.”可推断,作者通过瑞士人喜爱鲜鱼罐头的例子,引入文章话题,探讨影响人们对气味的选择的因素。故选A。
9.Which is TRUE according to the results of the study?
A.The team didn’t refer to earlier work on New Yorkers.
B.The subjects in the study came from the same culture.
C.Where people came from didn’t impact the pleasantness rankings of the smells.
D.Cultural factors accounted for 5% on how visual perception(感知) of faces works.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The researchers noted that pleasantness rankings of the smells were remarkably consistent regardless of where people came from.”可知,人们来自哪里并不影响气味的愉悦度排名。故选C。
10.What can we learn from the “eye of the beholder” effect?
A.For Swedes,few smells are more pleasant than that of surstromming.
B.People find faces beautiful differently because of their identical cultures.
C.The “eye of the beholder” effect is a mistake different from its original meaning.
D.Personal preferences have nothing to do with people’s preferences for scent.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Randomness,which the researchers suggest has to be coming from personal preferences learned from outside individual culture,accounted for 54% of the difference in which smells people liked.The ‘eye of the beholder’ effect does not slip off the tongue so easily but it appears to be a real phenomenon also.”可知,我们能从“情人眼里出西施”效应中了解到,对瑞典人来说,没有什么气味比鲜鱼罐头的味道更令人愉快了。故选A。
11.Where is the passage most likely from?
A.A news report.
B.A biology textbook.
C.A diet brochure.
D.A science magazine.
答案 D
解析 文章出处题。根据全文可知,文章主要探讨了影响人们对气味的偏好的因素,从而推断文章应出自科学杂志。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams.Talent is believed to be crucial for building a strong team.__1__ Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent?
__2__ They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level,the team’s performance begins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.
To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions.__3__ In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team’s performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is no I in TEAM.” __4__
Another possibility is that too much talent on a team can lead to decreased motivation and effort from some players.Just as in a game of tug of war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
__5__ An A-team may require a balance—not just A players,but a few generous B players as well.
A.It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

解析 上文说了一个球星为了个人得分,而影响团队的表现,该空承接上文,应是关于体育比赛中的团队精神,D选项“球星显然没有遵守运动员精神的基本原则”切题,故选D。
5.答案 F
解析 下文说“一支一流球队可能需要一种平衡——不仅仅是最好球员,也需要一些有雅量的普通球员”。该空引出下文,应是关于雇用人才上的选择,F选项“建立一支最佳阵容球队比简单地雇用最优秀的人才要复杂得多”切题,故选F。

Alejandro Buxton’s candle business started with a headache.The 12-year-old’s mom suffers from allergies,and something in their house was causing her head to hurt.After going to the hospital,they discovered the cause of the headache:the candles.His mom had no choice but to get rid of the scented(有香味的) items.
However,he knew his mother really loved candles.To lift her spirits,he set up a lab in the family’s kitchen in the fall of 2019 and made a candle using only natural ingredients,such as soy and coconut waxes(蜡) and essential oils.Chemicals in her old candles were causing the headaches.He named his first product Jurassic Orange,which is similar to the fruit in color and smell.Jurassic Orange was a hit with his mom,whose headaches disappeared.But Alejandro wasn’t done experimenting.Within a few months,he had about six scents,including Chunky Sweaters and Cozy Socks,which smells like a fruit drink mixed with a pine forest.
In September 2020,he put his first collection of candles on Etsy,the online marketplace that specializes in handmade goods.He also sold candles at seasonal markets,such as the one in downtown D.C.where the vice president was shopping for holiday gifts last year.He recommended two candles to the vice president.She took some of his advice.
Jesse Benites,general manager of a big shopping mall,said the vice president’s visit “skyrocketed” Alejandro’s fame.A senior manager contacted Alejandro and invited him to rent one of the 12 retail carts at the mall.On September 1,2022,Smell of Love Candles opened on the second level of the shopping center.Alejandro is the mall’s youngest business owner.Inside the mall,Alejandro turned a large room into his production facility,where he and his staff make 600 to 700 candles a week.There were altogether 25 scents on the shelf.He continued to make new scents and wanted to see all his candles in every single household and love and joy come into the houses.
Alejandro’s candle business makes a good profit,but for him,the money he earned is not just for his own college fund but for local charities.

It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan,near the point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway.If you are familiar with this junction,you will know it is far from the US’s current coastline.But in Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel New York 2140,Manhattan is flooded after continuous climate change causes the sea level to rise by 15.25m.
Robinson’s 2017 climate fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel,which tells “the story of the next century”.It might be helping readers across the world comprehend the situation in which we currently find ourselves.
Climate change is an indescribable crisis to make sense of.Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days,but what do you witness when you release(释放) carbon dioxide(CO2)?
“This is where fiction comes in:it brings the abstract data closer to home by focusing on the faces and stories in these futures.Show readers a detailed account of a climate-changed future,and they have an easier time imagining it,” says Robinson.“Science fiction gets people thinking in a way that another report on climate change doesn’t,” says Shelley Streeby,a professor of Literature and Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego.“It helps people feel not only about what might be coming,but also about the present.It is about taking certain conditions that exist nowadays,extending them into the future and throwing a bunch of characters into their midst.”
In the search to adopt climate change as a topic,writers are doing what they do best:trying to tell a good story.Sometimes they write with a touch of optimism as they negotiate the current crisis.But even with this optimism,these writers want to make sure the world knows they,at least,are paying attention.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过罗宾逊的小说《纽约2140》中的故事情节,介绍了气候小说这一新的小说类型。这一类小说以更加生动的角度向人们展示未来气候变化所带来的问题,帮助人们理解气候变化。
5.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To give background on a story.
B.To promote the novel New York 2140.
C.To lead to the topic of climate fiction.
D.To show the influence of climate change.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan,near the point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway...”可知,本段简要介绍了罗宾逊的小说《纽约2140》的故事情节,再结合第二段首句“Robinson’s 2017 climate fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel,which tells ‘the story of the next century’.”及下文对气候小说的描述可推知,作者主要借助《纽约2140》的故事情节引出气候小说这一话题。故选C。
6.How does the author show the climate change crisis is “indescribable”?
A.By inferring. B.By comparing.
C.By analyzing. D.By imagining.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days,but what do you witness when you release(释放) carbon dioxide(CO2)?”可知,为了说明气候变化带来的危机是难以描述的,作者对比了释放有毒化学物质和释放二氧化碳的情况,前者的后果可见,而后者的后果不可见。故选B。
7.What’s Streeby’s attitude toward science fiction?
