Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and artificial intelligence and robots are taking over more and more routine jobs. This means that young people need to rethink how they prepare for their careers and what skills they need to develop to stay competitive. First and foremost, adaptability is the key skill for the future workplace. No matter what career you choose, the ability to learn new skills quickly and adjust to new working environments will be essential. For example, a graphic designer who only knows one design software may find themselves out of work if a new, more efficient tool becomes popular. But those who can learn the new software in a short time will continue to thrive. Besides adaptability, soft skills are becoming more important than ever before. While hard skills like technical knowledge can be learned through training, soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and emotional intelligence are often harder to develop. Employers now value these skills highly because they help create a positive work culture and improve team performance. A study by a leading business research institute found that employees with high EQ are more likely to be promoted to management positions, as they can better understand and motivate their colleagues. Another crucial factor for career success is having a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and learning. They see challenges as opportunities to grow, rather than as obstacles to avoid. In contrast, those with a fixed mindset think that their talents are innate and cannot be changed, which makes them afraid to take on new tasks and miss out on career development opportunities. Finally, it's important to build a diverse skill set. Instead of focusing on just one area of expertise, young people should learn skills from different fields. For example, a programmer who also has good writing skills can not only code but also write technical documentation or even blog about programming, opening up more career possibilities. This is what experts call "cross-disciplinary competence", which is becoming increasingly valuable in the modern workplace. In conclusion, the future of careers is all about continuous learning and self-improvement. By developing adaptability, soft skills, a growth mindset, and a diverse skill set, young people can navigate the changing job market with confidence and achieve long-term career success. Remember, in the world of work today, the only constant is change itself, and the best way to face it is to keep growing. 【译文欣赏】 在如今瞬息万变的就业市场，“终身职业” 的概念已成为过去。科技正以前所未有的速度发展，人工智能和机器人正接管越来越多的常规工作。这意味着年轻人需要重新思考如何为职业做准备，以及需要培养哪些技能来保持竞争力。 首先，适应能力是未来职场的核心技能。无论你选择何种职业，快速学习新技能、适应新工作环境的能力都至关重要。例如，一名只懂一款设计软件的平面设计师，若一款更高效的新工具流行起来，可能会面临失业。而那些能在短时间内学会新软件的人，则能继续站稳脚跟。 除了适应能力，软技能的重要性也愈发凸显。虽然专业知识等硬技能可以通过培训习得，但沟通、团队合作和情商等软技能往往更难培养。如今的雇主高度重视这些技能，因为它们有助于营造积极的工作氛围，提升团队绩效。一家顶尖商业研究机构的研究发现，情商高的员工更有可能晋升到管理岗位，因为他们能更好地理解和激励同事。 职业成功的另一关键因素是拥有成长型思维。拥有成长型思维的人认为，自身能力可以通过努力和学习得到提升。他们将挑战视为成长的机会，而非需要回避的障碍。相反，拥有固定型思维的人认为自己的天赋是与生俱来、无法改变的，这使得他们害怕承担新任务，错失职业发展机会。 最后，构建多元化的技能体系也十分重要。年轻人不应只专注于一个专业领域，而应学习不同领域的技能。例如，一名同时具备良好写作能力的程序员，不仅能写代码，还能撰写技术文档，甚至撰写编程相关的博客，从而开启更多职业可能。这就是专家所说的 “跨学科能力”，它在现代职场中正变得愈发珍贵。 总之，未来的职业发展离不开持续学习和自我提升。通过培养适应能力、软技能、成长型思维和多元化的技能体系，年轻人可以自信地应对不断变化的就业市场，实现长期的职业成功。记住，在如今的职场，唯一不变的就是变化本身，而面对变化的最佳方式，就是始终保持成长。 【词汇积累】 unprecedented /ʌnˈpresɪdentɪd/ adj.前所未有的；无前例的 obstacle /ˈɒbstəkl/ n. 障碍；阻碍 adaptability /əˌdæptəˈbɪləti/ n. 适应能力 diverse /daɪˈvɜːs/ adj. 多样化的；不同的 thrive /θraɪv/ vi. 繁荣；茁壮成长；站稳脚跟 expertise /ˌekspɜːˈtiːz/ n. 专业知识；专长 mindset /ˈmaɪndset/ n. 思维模式；心态 cross-disciplinary /ˌkrɒs ˈdɪsɪplɪnəri/ adj. 跨学科的 innate /ɪˈneɪt/ adj. 天生的；与生俱来的 navigate /ˈnævɪɡeɪt/ vt. 应对；导航；航行 【知识拓展】 cross-disciplinary competence 跨学科能力：指融合不同学科的知识、技能和思维方式，解决复杂问题的能力。在人工智能快速发展的时代，单一学科的知识已难以满足职场需求，跨学科能力成为职场人提升核心竞争力的关键，比如“技术+写作”“设计+营销”的复合技能，能让求职者在应聘中更具优势。 【词汇延伸】 live with 与一起生活 ; 与…同处；与同居 ; 学会去适应 make or break 成败攸关 ; 要么得冠军，要么名落孙山 高考真题链接 (2024·全国一卷·阅读理解B篇) "I am not crazy," says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. "I am ahead of my time." If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing "holistic" medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, "moves more easily and rides more comfortably" after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. "Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well," he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job." 24. What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him? A. He's odd. B. He's strict. C. He's brave. D. He's rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians' work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber's point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 1. If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. 抓标志：从属连词if；从属连词because 判类型：条件状语从句 + 主句（含表语从句） 试翻译：如果他看起来有些辩解的意味，那可能是因为就连他的一些同事会偶尔嘲笑他这些不寻常的治疗方法。 2.

But recent research shows that empathy is not just a nice-to-have quality; it is a critical driver of workplace success, for both individuals and teams. A study conducted by the University of Michigan followed 200 employees across different industries for three years. The researchers found that employees with high levels of empathy were more likely to receive positive performance reviews, be promoted, and build strong working relationships. They were also less likely to experience workplace conflict and more likely to collaborate effectively with colleagues. One reason empathy boosts workplace success is that it improves communication. When employees feel that their colleagues understand their feelings and perspectives, they are more likely to speak up, share ideas, and ask for help when needed. This leads to better problem-solving and more innovative solutions, as diverse viewpoints are taken into account. Empathy also plays a key role in leadership. Leaders who show empathy are able to connect with their team members on a deeper level, which increases employee engagement and loyalty. A survey by a global human resources company found that 87% of employees said they were more motivated to work hard for a leader who showed empathy, compared to just 32% for leaders who focused only on results. However, empathy is not something that people are born with – it can be developed and improved with practice. Simple actions like active listening, asking open-ended questions, and putting oneself in another person's shoes can all help build empathy. For example, instead of immediately disagreeing with a colleague's idea, take a moment to understand why they proposed it; instead of blaming an employee for a mistake, ask about the challenges they faced. In a world where technology is often prioritized over human connection, empathy is more important than ever. It is the foundation of a positive workplace culture, and it can give individuals and companies a competitive edge in the global market. As one business expert put it: "Technical skills will get you the job, but empathy will get you the career." 1.What is the common view of empathy in the workplace at first? A. It is the key to leadership success. B. It is less important than hard skills. C. It is a quality people are born with. D. It is the foundation of workplace culture. 2.What does the study by the University of Michigan show? A. Empathy helps improve work performance. B. Empathy reduces employees' working pressure. C. Empathy is the most important skill for leaders. D. Empathy makes employees avoid making mistakes. 3.How does empathy improve workplace communication? A. By encouraging employees to share ideas freely. B. By helping employees solve technical problems. C. By making employees focus on diverse viewpoints. D. By reducing the number of open-ended questions. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. Empathy can be developed through practice. B. Empathy is a must for all technical workers. C. Leaders with empathy always get better results. D. Technical skills are no longer important in the workplace. Passage 2 In the age of AI, many traditional jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence. But there are still some jobs that AI cannot take over easily, and these jobs usually require human creativity, emotional connection, or critical thinking. Here are three types of jobs that will remain valuable in the AI era. First, creative jobs such as writers, artists, and designers. AI can generate articles, paintings, and designs based on algorithms, but it lacks true creativity and emotional expression. A good writer can create stories that touch people's hearts, an artist can express unique feelings through their works, and a designer can combine practical needs with aesthetic value – all of these are things that AI cannot do. AI's creations are often based on existing data, while human creativity comes from life experience, imagination, and personal feelings. Second, jobs related to human care, like teachers, nurses, and social workers. These jobs require deep emotional connection and empathy between people. A teacher does not just pass on knowledge; they also guide students' growth, encourage them when they are frustrated, and help them build confidence. A nurse does not only take care of patients' physical health; they also comfort them and reduce their fear of illness. AI can provide information and basic care, but it cannot replace the human warmth and emotional support that these jobs require. Third, jobs that need critical thinking and decision-making, such as lawyers, doctors, and business managers. These jobs involve complex situations that require people to analyze information, consider different factors, and make rational decisions. For example, a doctor needs to diagnose a patient's illness based on symptoms, medical tests, and their own clinical experience; a lawyer needs to study legal cases and provide the best legal advice for clients. AI can help collect and analyze data, but it cannot make subjective judgments based on human experience and moral values. Of course, even these jobs will change in the AI era. People working in these fields need to learn to work with AI, use AI as a tool to improve their work efficiency, and focus on developing the skills that AI cannot replace. In the future, the most valuable employees will be those who can combine human advantages with AI technology. 1.What is the main idea of the text? A. AI is replacing more and more traditional jobs. B. Three types of jobs that AI cannot easily take over. C. How to improve work efficiency with the help of AI. D. The importance of combining human skills with AI. 2.Why can't AI replace creative jobs? A. AI has no ability to generate creative works. B. AI's creations lack true creativity and emotion. C. AI cannot learn from existing data and experience. D. AI's works are not as beautiful as human's works. 3.Which of the following belongs to jobs requiring human care? A. Designers. B. Business managers. C. Social workers. D. Lawyers. 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI will not have any influence on the three types of jobs. B. People in the three fields need to learn new skills to adapt to AI. C. AI will become the most important tool in all working fields. D. Employees who only have human advantages will be the most valuable. Passage 3 As we step into 2026, the global job market is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by the rapid development of generative AI and green economy. Unlike the previous wave of technological change, the current shift is not just about replacing routine jobs, but reshaping the way people work and the skills they need to thrive. For young people preparing to enter the workforce, understanding these changes is crucial to building a successful and sustainable career. One of the most notable trends is the rise of "AI-augmented careers" – jobs that require humans to work alongside AI rather than compete against it. For instance, many companies now hire "AI collaboration specialists" who help teams integrate AI tools into their daily work, optimize workflows, and ensure that AI is used ethically. These roles demand a combination of technical literacy, communication skills, and critical thinking – skills that AI cannot replace. Another hot trend is the growing demand for professionals in the green economy. With countries around the world committing to carbon neutrality goals, careers such as renewable energy engineers, carbon management consultants, and sustainable development specialists are becoming increasingly popular. These jobs not only offer good career prospects but also allow individuals to contribute to environmental protection, aligning personal career development with global sustainable development goals. In addition, soft skills have become even more critical in the 2026 workplace. As AI takes over more technical and routine tasks, employers are placing greater emphasis on skills like emotional intelligence, creativity, and cross-cultural communication. A 2026 survey by the World Economic Forum found that 89% of employers believe that soft skills are more important than hard skills for long-term career success, especially in leadership and client-facing roles. It’s also worth noting that the concept of "career loyalty" is changing. More young people are choosing "portfolio careers" – having multiple part-time jobs or freelance projects instead of a single full-time job. This model allows them to explore different interests, gain diverse experience, and reduce the risk of job loss in a volatile job market. However, it also requires strong time management skills and self-discipline. To adapt to these changes, young people need to adopt a "lifelong learning" mindset. This means continuously updating their skills, staying informed about industry trends, and being open to new career opportunities. Whether it’s learning a new AI tool, mastering a foreign language, or developing expertise in a green field, ongoing learning is the key to staying competitive in the 2026 job market. In short, the 2026 job market is full of challenges but also opportunities. By embracing AI, focusing on soft skills, exploring green careers, and committing to lifelong learning, young people can navigate the changing landscape and build a career that is both fulfilling and sustainable. 1. What is driving the dramatic transformation of the global job market in 2026? A. The decrease of routine jobs B. The rapid development of generative AI and green economy C. The change of young people’s career concepts D. The growing demand for soft skills 2. What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Survive and develop well B. Compete with others successfully C. Adapt to new jobs quickly D. Achieve immediate success 3. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. AI will completely replace humans in the workplace B. Portfolio careers require no self-discipline C. Soft skills are more important for long-term career success D. Green careers have no good prospects 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to develop soft skills in the 2026 workplace B. The trends of the 2026 job market and how young people adapt to them C. The importance of lifelong learning for career success D. The rise of AI-augmented careers and green careers Passage 4 By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 3. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 4. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”? A He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. Passage 5 The jobs of the future have not been invented, 1 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.  Curiosity  Your children need to be deeply curious. 2 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?  Creativity  True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. 3 There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their Creativity.  Interpersonal Skills  Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what is going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 4 “Why do you think she is crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?” Self Expression  5 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas ¡ª music, acting, drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.  A. Encourage kids to cook with you.  B. And we can’t forget science education.  C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.  D. So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?  E. Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill.  F. We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories.  G. Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.  Passage 6 For a long time Gabriel didn’t want to be involved in music at all.

Technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and artificial intelligence and robots are taking over more and more routine jobs. This means that young people need to rethink how they prepare for their careers and what skills they need to develop to stay competitive. First and foremost, adaptability is the key skill for the future workplace. No matter what career you choose, the ability to learn new skills quickly and adjust to new working environments will be essential. For example, a graphic designer who only knows one design software may find themselves out of work if a new, more efficient tool becomes popular. But those who can learn the new software in a short time will continue to thrive. Besides adaptability, soft skills are becoming more important than ever before. While hard skills like technical knowledge can be learned through training, soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and emotional intelligence are often harder to develop. Employers now value these skills highly because they help create a positive work culture and improve team performance. A study by a leading business research institute found that employees with high EQ are more likely to be promoted to management positions, as they can better understand and motivate their colleagues. Another crucial factor for career success is having a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and learning. They see challenges as opportunities to grow, rather than as obstacles to avoid. In contrast, those with a fixed mindset think that their talents are innate and cannot be changed, which makes them afraid to take on new tasks and miss out on career development opportunities. Finally, it's important to build a diverse skill set. Instead of focusing on just one area of expertise, young people should learn skills from different fields. For example, a programmer who also has good writing skills can not only code but also write technical documentation or even blog about programming, opening up more career possibilities. This is what experts call "cross-disciplinary competence", which is becoming increasingly valuable in the modern workplace. In conclusion, the future of careers is all about continuous learning and self-improvement. By developing adaptability, soft skills, a growth mindset, and a diverse skill set, young people can navigate the changing job market with confidence and achieve long-term career success. Remember, in the world of work today, the only constant is change itself, and the best way to face it is to keep growing. 【译文欣赏】 在如今瞬息万变的就业市场，“终身职业” 的概念已成为过去。科技正以前所未有的速度发展，人工智能和机器人正接管越来越多的常规工作。这意味着年轻人需要重新思考如何为职业做准备，以及需要培养哪些技能来保持竞争力。 首先，适应能力是未来职场的核心技能。无论你选择何种职业，快速学习新技能、适应新工作环境的能力都至关重要。例如，一名只懂一款设计软件的平面设计师，若一款更高效的新工具流行起来，可能会面临失业。而那些能在短时间内学会新软件的人，则能继续站稳脚跟。 除了适应能力，软技能的重要性也愈发凸显。虽然专业知识等硬技能可以通过培训习得，但沟通、团队合作和情商等软技能往往更难培养。如今的雇主高度重视这些技能，因为它们有助于营造积极的工作氛围，提升团队绩效。一家顶尖商业研究机构的研究发现，情商高的员工更有可能晋升到管理岗位，因为他们能更好地理解和激励同事。 职业成功的另一关键因素是拥有成长型思维。拥有成长型思维的人认为，自身能力可以通过努力和学习得到提升。他们将挑战视为成长的机会，而非需要回避的障碍。相反，拥有固定型思维的人认为自己的天赋是与生俱来、无法改变的，这使得他们害怕承担新任务，错失职业发展机会。 最后，构建多元化的技能体系也十分重要。年轻人不应只专注于一个专业领域，而应学习不同领域的技能。例如，一名同时具备良好写作能力的程序员，不仅能写代码，还能撰写技术文档，甚至撰写编程相关的博客，从而开启更多职业可能。这就是专家所说的 “跨学科能力”，它在现代职场中正变得愈发珍贵。 总之，未来的职业发展离不开持续学习和自我提升。通过培养适应能力、软技能、成长型思维和多元化的技能体系，年轻人可以自信地应对不断变化的就业市场，实现长期的职业成功。记住，在如今的职场，唯一不变的就是变化本身，而面对变化的最佳方式，就是始终保持成长。 【词汇积累】 unprecedented /ʌnˈpresɪdentɪd/ adj.前所未有的；无前例的 obstacle /ˈɒbstəkl/ n. 障碍；阻碍 adaptability /əˌdæptəˈbɪləti/ n. 适应能力 diverse /daɪˈvɜːs/ adj. 多样化的；不同的 thrive /θraɪv/ vi. 繁荣；茁壮成长；站稳脚跟 expertise /ˌekspɜːˈtiːz/ n. 专业知识；专长 mindset /ˈmaɪndset/ n. 思维模式；心态 cross-disciplinary /ˌkrɒs ˈdɪsɪplɪnəri/ adj. 跨学科的 innate /ɪˈneɪt/ adj. 天生的；与生俱来的 navigate /ˈnævɪɡeɪt/ vt. 应对；导航；航行 【知识拓展】 cross-disciplinary competence 跨学科能力：指融合不同学科的知识、技能和思维方式，解决复杂问题的能力。在人工智能快速发展的时代，单一学科的知识已难以满足职场需求，跨学科能力成为职场人提升核心竞争力的关键，比如“技术+写作”“设计+营销”的复合技能，能让求职者在应聘中更具优势。 【词汇延伸】 live with 与一起生活 ; 与…同处；与同居 ; 学会去适应 make or break 成败攸关 ; 要么得冠军，要么名落孙山 高考真题链接 (2024·全国一卷·阅读理解B篇) "I am not crazy," says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. "I am ahead of my time." If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing "holistic" medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, "moves more easily and rides more comfortably" after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. "Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well," he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job." 24. What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him? A. He's odd. B. He's strict. C. He's brave. D. He's rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians' work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber's point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯 (William Farber) 博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 24. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. (如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) 可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 25.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. (然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 26.D 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第三段内容Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably”after a chiropractic adjustment. (利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他安乐死，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing) 报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) 可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 27.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 命题特点 推理判断题是阅读理解中难度较大的题型。它不仅要求考生理解文章的字面意思，还要对文章的表面信息进行挖掘，将作者在文中没有直接说出的意思通过对细节上的暗示和语篇逻辑关系的分析，做出一定判断和推理，从而得出文章的深层意义和隐含意义。推理判断题在高考中占比很重，经常达到4-8题甚至以上，包括隐含意义推断题、观点态度推断题、文章出处或写作对象、目的意图推断题和下文预测推断题。 命题规律1.文中长复合句、特殊句型处常考2.语言转折和强对比处常考3.对文章中心思想处常考 推理判断题解题思维 1.理解文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，打好推理判断的基础。 2. 对文字的表面信息由浅入深地进行挖掘，通过分析、综合、判定等，进行合乎逻辑的推断。不能断章取义，以偏概全，局限于肤浅的表面意思。 3. 忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据进行合理推断。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点; 4. 把握句间、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构和体裁。体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，感悟文章的逻辑发展，揣摩作者的弦外之音。 注意：推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上，把握文章的真正内涵。推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，准确理解文中的已知部分，再结合语境和常识推论出未知部分和作者的言外之意。 推理判断题干扰项特征 1.主观臆断：根据现实生活常识推断。虽然符合考生的常识，但文中并没有支撑的依据。 2.过度推断：作者并未做出评论，只是客观的陈述事实，考生进行了过度的解读和推断。 3.以细节代替推断：将文章中出现的文中无关紧要或片面推出的结论，如某一处细节当作合理推断，实则是原文信息的简单重复，并不是推断出来的结论。 4.无中生有：在解题时将自己的观点或社会的一种普遍性倾向而文中并无关系的观点当成作者的观点。实际上真正的答案在文章中并不能直接找到，会进行词汇的替换。            1.

But recent research shows that empathy is not just a nice-to-have quality; it is a critical driver of workplace success, for both individuals and teams. A study conducted by the University of Michigan followed 200 employees across different industries for three years. The researchers found that employees with high levels of empathy were more likely to receive positive performance reviews, be promoted, and build strong working relationships. They were also less likely to experience workplace conflict and more likely to collaborate effectively with colleagues. One reason empathy boosts workplace success is that it improves communication. When employees feel that their colleagues understand their feelings and perspectives, they are more likely to speak up, share ideas, and ask for help when needed. This leads to better problem-solving and more innovative solutions, as diverse viewpoints are taken into account. Empathy also plays a key role in leadership. Leaders who show empathy are able to connect with their team members on a deeper level, which increases employee engagement and loyalty. A survey by a global human resources company found that 87% of employees said they were more motivated to work hard for a leader who showed empathy, compared to just 32% for leaders who focused only on results. However, empathy is not something that people are born with – it can be developed and improved with practice. Simple actions like active listening, asking open-ended questions, and putting oneself in another person's shoes can all help build empathy. For example, instead of immediately disagreeing with a colleague's idea, take a moment to understand why they proposed it; instead of blaming an employee for a mistake, ask about the challenges they faced. In a world where technology is often prioritized over human connection, empathy is more important than ever. It is the foundation of a positive workplace culture, and it can give individuals and companies a competitive edge in the global market. As one business expert put it: "Technical skills will get you the job, but empathy will get you the career." 1.What is the common view of empathy in the workplace at first? A. It is the key to leadership success. B. It is less important than hard skills. C. It is a quality people are born with. D. It is the foundation of workplace culture. 2.What does the study by the University of Michigan show? A. Empathy helps improve work performance. B. Empathy reduces employees' working pressure. C. Empathy is the most important skill for leaders. D. Empathy makes employees avoid making mistakes. 3.How does empathy improve workplace communication? A. By encouraging employees to share ideas freely. B. By helping employees solve technical problems. C. By making employees focus on diverse viewpoints. D. By reducing the number of open-ended questions. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. Empathy can be developed through practice. B. Empathy is a must for all technical workers. C. Leaders with empathy always get better results. D. Technical skills are no longer important in the workplace. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了同理心在职场中的重要性，纠正了人们对同理心的传统认知，说明了同理心对个人、团队和领导力的积极作用，并指出同理心可以通过练习培养。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句 "In the workplace, empathy–the ability to understand and share the feelings of others–is often seen as a 'soft skill', less important than technical expertise or productivity."（在职场中，同理心 —— 理解和分享他人感受的能力 —— 通常被视为一种 “软技能”，不如专业技能或工作效率重要。）可知，职场中最初对同理心的普遍看法是：它被视为一种 “软技能”，重要性低于专业技能（硬技能）和工作效率。故选B 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段 "The researchers found that employees with high levels of empathy were more likely to receive positive performance reviews, be promoted, and build strong working relationships. They were also less likely to experience workplace conflict and more likely to collaborate effectively with colleagues."（研究人员发现，同理心水平高的员工更有可能获得积极的绩效评估、晋升，并建立良好的工作关系。他们也更不容易发生职场冲突，更有可能与同事有效合作。）可知，密歇根大学的研究表明：高同理心的员工更易获得积极绩效评估、晋升，建立良好工作关系，更少发生职场冲突，更能与同事高效协作，即同理心有助于提升工作表现。故选A 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段 "When employees feel that their colleagues understand their feelings and perspectives, they are more likely to speak up, share ideas, and ask for help when needed. This leads to better problem-solving and more innovative solutions, as diverse viewpoints are taken into account."（当员工感受到同事理解他们的感受和观点时，他们更有可能畅所欲言、分享想法，并在需要时寻求帮助。这会带来更好的问题解决方式和更具创新性的解决方案，因为不同的观点都被纳入考量。）可知，同理心通过让员工感受到被理解，从而鼓励他们畅所欲言、分享想法、主动求助，进而优化职场沟通，带来更好的问题解决效果。 故选A 4. 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句 "However, empathy is not something that people are born with – it can be developed and improved with practice."（然而，同理心并非与生俱来 ——它可以通过练习培养和提升。） 同时结合全文可知：同理心是职场成功的关键驱动力，对个人、团队和领导力都有重要作用，且可以通过主动倾听、提问等练习培养；技术技能能帮人获得工作，而同理心能帮人成就事业。故选A。 Passage 2 In the age of AI, many traditional jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence. But there are still some jobs that AI cannot take over easily, and these jobs usually require human creativity, emotional connection, or critical thinking. Here are three types of jobs that will remain valuable in the AI era. First, creative jobs such as writers, artists, and designers. AI can generate articles, paintings, and designs based on algorithms, but it lacks true creativity and emotional expression. A good writer can create stories that touch people's hearts, an artist can express unique feelings through their works, and a designer can combine practical needs with aesthetic value – all of these are things that AI cannot do. AI's creations are often based on existing data, while human creativity comes from life experience, imagination, and personal feelings. Second, jobs related to human care, like teachers, nurses, and social workers. These jobs require deep emotional connection and empathy between people. A teacher does not just pass on knowledge; they also guide students' growth, encourage them when they are frustrated, and help them build confidence. A nurse does not only take care of patients' physical health; they also comfort them and reduce their fear of illness. AI can provide information and basic care, but it cannot replace the human warmth and emotional support that these jobs require. Third, jobs that need critical thinking and decision-making, such as lawyers, doctors, and business managers. These jobs involve complex situations that require people to analyze information, consider different factors, and make rational decisions. For example, a doctor needs to diagnose a patient's illness based on symptoms, medical tests, and their own clinical experience; a lawyer needs to study legal cases and provide the best legal advice for clients. AI can help collect and analyze data, but it cannot make subjective judgments based on human experience and moral values. Of course, even these jobs will change in the AI era. People working in these fields need to learn to work with AI, use AI as a tool to improve their work efficiency, and focus on developing the skills that AI cannot replace. In the future, the most valuable employees will be those who can combine human advantages with AI technology. 1.What is the main idea of the text? A. AI is replacing more and more traditional jobs. B. Three types of jobs that AI cannot easily take over. C. How to improve work efficiency with the help of AI. D. The importance of combining human skills with AI. 2.Why can't AI replace creative jobs? A. AI has no ability to generate creative works. B. AI's creations lack true creativity and emotion. C. AI cannot learn from existing data and experience. D. AI's works are not as beautiful as human's works. 3.Which of the following belongs to jobs requiring human care? A. Designers. B. Business managers. C. Social workers. D. Lawyers. 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI will not have any influence on the three types of jobs. B. People in the three fields need to learn new skills to adapt to AI. C. AI will become the most important tool in all working fields. D. Employees who only have human advantages will be the most valuable. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了 AI 时代不易被人工智能取代的三类工作，以及相关从业者的发展方向。 1. 细节理解题（主旨大意题）。根据第一段 “But there are still some jobs that AI cannot take over easily, and these jobs usually require human creativity, emotional connection, or critical thinking. Here are three types of jobs that will remain valuable in the AI era.”（但仍有一些工作不易被人工智能取代，这些工作通常需要人类的创造力、情感联结或批判性思维。以下是三种在人工智能时代依然有价值的工作。）可知，文章的主旨是介绍人工智能难以轻易取代的三类工作。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段 “AI can generate articles, paintings, and designs based on algorithms, but it lacks true creativity and emotional expression.”（人工智能可以根据算法生成文章、画作和设计，但它缺乏真正的创造力和情感表达。）可知，人工智能无法取代创意类工作，是因为其创作缺少真正的创造力与情感。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “Second, jobs related to human care, like teachers, nurses, and social workers.”（第二类是与人文关怀相关的工作，如教师、护士和社会工作者。）可知，社会工作者属于需要人文关怀的职业。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “People working in these fields need to learn to work with AI, use AI as a tool to improve their work efficiency, and focus on developing the skills that AI cannot replace.”（从事这些领域工作的人需要学会与人工智能协作，把人工智能当作工具提高工作效率，并专注于培养人工智能无法替代的技能。）可推知，这三个领域的从业者需要学习新技能以适应人工智能时代。故选B。 Passage 3 As we step into 2026, the global job market is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by the rapid development of generative AI and green economy. Unlike the previous wave of technological change, the current shift is not just about replacing routine jobs, but reshaping the way people work and the skills they need to thrive. For young people preparing to enter the workforce, understanding these changes is crucial to building a successful and sustainable career. One of the most notable trends is the rise of "AI-augmented careers" – jobs that require humans to work alongside AI rather than compete against it. For instance, many companies now hire "AI collaboration specialists" who help teams integrate AI tools into their daily work, optimize workflows, and ensure that AI is used ethically. These roles demand a combination of technical literacy, communication skills, and critical thinking – skills that AI cannot replace. Another hot trend is the growing demand for professionals in the green economy. With countries around the world committing to carbon neutrality goals, careers such as renewable energy engineers, carbon management consultants, and sustainable development specialists are becoming increasingly popular. These jobs not only offer good career prospects but also allow individuals to contribute to environmental protection, aligning personal career development with global sustainable development goals. In addition, soft skills have become even more critical in the 2026 workplace. As AI takes over more technical and routine tasks, employers are placing greater emphasis on skills like emotional intelligence, creativity, and cross-cultural communication. A 2026 survey by the World Economic Forum found that 89% of employers believe that soft skills are more important than hard skills for long-term career success, especially in leadership and client-facing roles. It’s also worth noting that the concept of "career loyalty" is changing. More young people are choosing "portfolio careers" – having multiple part-time jobs or freelance projects instead of a single full-time job. This model allows them to explore different interests, gain diverse experience, and reduce the risk of job loss in a volatile job market. However, it also requires strong time management skills and self-discipline. To adapt to these changes, young people need to adopt a "lifelong learning" mindset. This means continuously updating their skills, staying informed about industry trends, and being open to new career opportunities. Whether it’s learning a new AI tool, mastering a foreign language, or developing expertise in a green field, ongoing learning is the key to staying competitive in the 2026 job market. In short, the 2026 job market is full of challenges but also opportunities. By embracing AI, focusing on soft skills, exploring green careers, and committing to lifelong learning, young people can navigate the changing landscape and build a career that is both fulfilling and sustainable. 1. What is driving the dramatic transformation of the global job market in 2026? A. The decrease of routine jobs B. The rapid development of generative AI and green economy C. The change of young people’s career concepts D. The growing demand for soft skills 2. What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Survive and develop well B. Compete with others successfully C. Adapt to new jobs quickly D. Achieve immediate success 3. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. AI will completely replace humans in the workplace B. Portfolio careers require no self-discipline C. Soft skills are more important for long-term career success D. Green careers have no good prospects 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to develop soft skills in the 2026 workplace B. The trends of the 2026 job market and how young people adapt to them C. The importance of lifelong learning for career success D. The rise of AI-augmented careers and green careers 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了2026年全球就业市场的发展趋势，以及年轻人如何适应这些变化、打造可持续的职业发展路径。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句 “As we step into 2026, the global job market is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by the rapid development of generative AI and green economy.”（当我们步入 2026 年，生成式人工智能和绿色经济的快速发展正推动全球就业市场发生巨大变革。）可知，推动 2026 年全球就业市场发生巨大变革的是生成式人工智能和绿色经济的快速发展。故选B。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第一段 “Unlike the previous wave of technological change, the current shift is not just about replacing routine jobs, but reshaping the way people work and the skills they need to thrive.”（与以往的技术变革浪潮不同，当前的转变不仅是取代常规工作，更是重塑人们的工作方式以及他们蓬勃发展所需的技能。）结合上下文，就业市场的变革要求人们掌握相应技能，以在新环境中生存并良好发展，“thrive” 在此处意为 “生存并良好发展”。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段 “A 2026 survey by the World Economic Forum found that 89% of employers believe that soft skills are more important than hard skills for long-term career success, especially in leadership and client-facing roles.”（世界经济论坛 2026 年的一项调查发现，89% 的雇主认为，对于长期职业成功而言，软技能比硬技能更重要，尤其是在领导力和面向客户的岗位上。）可推知，软技能对长期职业成功更为重要。 选项 A与第二段 “jobs that require humans to work alongside AI rather than compete against it” 相悖，AI 不会完全取代人类，排除；选项 B与第五段 “However, it also requires strong time management skills and self-discipline.”相悖，组合职业需要自律，排除；选项 D与第三段 “These jobs not only offer good career prospects but also allow individuals to contribute to environmental protection” 相悖，绿色职业有良好前景，排除；故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。文章开篇点明 2026 年就业市场的变革背景，随后依次介绍了 AI 赋能型职业、绿色经济职业、软技能的重要性、组合职业等就业市场趋势，最后给出年轻人适应变化的方法（终身学习等），全文围绕 “2026 年就业市场的趋势以及年轻人如何适应” 展开。据此可知，选项 A、C 和 D 仅为文章部分内容，不能概括全文；故选B。 Passage 4 By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A.
