When I did well on my first midterm, I realized that I 8 perhaps earn some respect from my peers by winning one of the few transfer spots into Wharton. Then I remembered I had no interest in business. I wanted to go to law school, so I applied to Penn’s Undergraduate Law Journal.

More 11 , I’ve been wondering how many of us truly think about our vocation. While the Cambridge Dictionary calls it the kind of work you’re 12 for and willing to give your time and energy to, Merriam-Webster paints it as a powerful pull — a calling that draws you toward a certain path or 13 . To me, vocation isn’t just about making a living. It’s about letting the work of our lives bear 14 to what we care about most, and using those passions to enrich the lives of others. If we’re lucky, our 15 and our calling are the same thing. But even when they’re not, a vocation can still give our days meaning and direction. One person who 16 this was American artist Alma Woodsey Thomas. Born in 1891, she became the first student to graduate with a fine arts degree from Howard University. For 35 years she taught high school art, setting aside much of her own creative work. It wasn’t until she retired at nearly 70 that she devoted herself fully to painting. In 1972, she became the first Black woman to have an individual exhibition at the Whitney Museum in New York, and her work is now 17 in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. What moves me most about Thomas is how, despite the obstacles of her era, she stayed 18 to sharing her love of art in any way she could, believing in beauty’s power to heal. In her late sixties, she 19 into her own creative calling. “I’ve never bothered painting the ugly things in life,” she said. “I wanted something beautiful that you could sit down and look at. And then, the paintings change you.” A vocation doesn’t have to bring fame or fortune. What matters is honouring how it unfolds — being brave, patient, and 20 enough to respond to it, and letting it guide us toward both purpose and joy in contributing to the world. 三、完形填空 A Woman’s Work Women have made great strides in the employment market over the past 50 years. But many still feel that their progress is 21 and, to coincide with International Women’s Day, two new books by feminist writers address the issues. In The Fix, Michelle King, director of inclusion at Netflix, observes that women are constantly told they need to change themselves. 22 , she argues, working practices should change to accommodate the needs of half the adult population. In The Home Stretch, Sally Howard, a journalist, suggests that a big reason why women are 23 is that even those who work full-time are still expected to do the bulk (大量) of the housework. She makes a strong case “why it’s time to come 24 about who does the dishes”. Are women in the workplace judged by the same 25 as their male colleagues? Are they 26 with adjectives (aggressive or emotional, for example) that would not be applied to men with the same characteristics? Despite recent 27 , women still face a glass ceiling. A couple of stories in Ms. King’s book illustrate the point. Sarah was an executive at a multinational who worked late, underwent management training and 28 received and acted on feedback. After many years of 29 , it seemed she was due for promotion to the next tier, which was 100% male. But at the key meeting a male executive said: “I don’t know; she just doesn’t fit. She has those glasses and she wears that clip in her hair.” What he did was not exactly “ 30 management”. In the other tale Ms. King, on her first day in a new job, walked into a kitchen full of men. Her boss said “Hey, Michelle, there are dishes in the sink and you are a woman, so wash them.” When she 31 , she was told to learn to take a joke. Bullying 32 as humor is still bullying. Sometimes the 33 for the lack of female progress in certain professions is that women and men naturally choose to pursue different career paths. Yet those outcomes may simply be the result of formal or informal barriers against female success. At the end of the 19th century, when only 4-5% of American doctors were women, some men no doubt put this down to a lack of gift. Many medical schools, perhaps sharing that preconception, did not 34 female candidates. Many of the arguments that women’s lack of progress is down to aptitude or choice look like a convenient fiction for men, who do rather well out of the 35 . Women, who end up doing most of the chores as well as working long hours, get an unfair deal. It is not them who need to change — it is the attitudes of men. 21．A．boosted B．blocked C．reported D．made 22．A．Therefore B．Besides C．Instead D．Thus 23．A．held back B．ran after C．entitled to D．applied to 24．A．close B．clean C．second D．right 25．A．standards B．power C．qualities D．merits 26．A．proved B．witnessed C．described D．revised 27．A．pressure B．progress C．prejudice D．presence 28．A．hesitantly B．vaguely C．enthusiastically D．honorably 29．A．rejection B．dominance C．encouragement D．complaint 30．A．emotional B．scientific C．subjective D．habitual 31．A．approved B．astonished C．protested D．reflected 32．A．masked B．controlled C．dismissed D．targeted 33．A．mystery B．knowledge C．excuse D．outcome 34．A．admit B．dump C．inspire D．prohibit 35．A．investment B．negotiation C．nonsense D．bargain 四、阅读理解 A Business success story Many teenagers spend their lives studying, playing video games and hanging out with friends — but not Henry Patterson, a teenage entrepreneur (创业者). The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, started his business journey at the age of 9 when he launched his children’s brand, Not Before Tea. The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop. Patterson began by selling sweets, but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life — through products such as bags and soft toys. Today, the products are sold internationally, and Patterson has just secured investment to grow the brand further. At 12, his business had earned him 65,000 pounds (566,221 yuan). In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”. He wasn’t consistent with what his peers were like because he saw the world differently and was rarely invited to parties or play dates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even lonelier. But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually immersed (使……沉浸) himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. To battle his stammer, he tried to express himself clearly and even developed a love for public speaking, which eventually enabled him to speak on important stages, such as at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers. Storytelling has been a key element in Patterson’s online business journey. Now at 15, Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty, which describes his search for success and happiness and also covers some of the big issues that young people face: self-esteem, finding your voice, education and creativity.   He has also set up an online academy (学院) with the same name. It is for children aged 10 to 14, who are starting to think about their future and what motivates them. He believes that passion is what drives people to achieve extraordinary things. “If you don’t have a passion for what you do and love what you do then you won’t succeed,” he said. 36．What can we know about Not Before Tea? A．It is a sweets shop in Bedfordshire. B．Its birth was inspired by a storybook. C．It is a brand well known around the world. D．It has earned Patterson 65,000 pounds in total. 37．What happened to Patterson during his early school years? A．He struggled to fit in at school. B．He went to a lot of parties. C．He had difficulty writing stories. D．He wrote a business book. 38．Which of the following best describes Patterson? A．Brave and hardworking. B．Creative and strong-willed. C．Humorous and talented. D．Honest and independent. 39．What would Patterson probably agree with according to the text? A．Storytelling ability is key to business success. B．People should plan for their future as early as possible. C．Success cannot be achieved without passion. D．Passion decides whether a person can be extraordinary. B The worst time to look for a job is when you feel desperate and must have a new one immediately. 40 If you are not in need of an immediate career change, here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects today; Identify at least two different roles. You do not have to be qualified for these positions today, nor do they have to exist in your company. However, these roles should be related to your current skill set. They are career options that look interesting. 41 Pay close attention to what appeals to you, and write it down. This will give insight into your motivations and targets. Subscribe to a career specific magazine. Knowledge is power in the workplace. All businesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue (收益). Reading about industry trends, advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions. This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the pack. You can follow their examples in your own workplace. 42 Do exceptional work. In any role, there is a way to perform at your best. Look for ways to deliver a top performance. Show up early, be flexible to new assignments, have a positive attitude, cooperate with other departments, pay attention to the little details. Be professionally curious. Talk to people about their careers. Learn more about how success is measured in other roles, departments and companies. Ask people their thoughts on different industries. 43 People hire people. You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search, so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go. Take the time to learn about others, and be helpful when you can. As in all things in life, getting in front of a different task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise. Changing jobs is to be expected. No matter how secure you feel today, the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change. A．Job searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from relatively few options. B．In addition, the chances, if any, are low that you can find a satisfactory job in an economic situation like this. C．Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time. D．That is to say, the people you keep company with determine your character development. E．Once you have a couple of targets, think about why and what interests you. F．If you associate with excellent people, you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities. 五、概要写作 Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Flexible Thinking for Your Career Does work ever leave you feeling stuck with limited opportunities to be creative? To prosper, you might want to increase your brain’s flexibility. But is this even possible, and if so, how? Most jobs require the ability to problem-solve and cope with challenges, at least to a certain extent. Imagine a teacher who has a new and very nervous student in the class. If that teacher is a flexible thinker, he or she will be able to adapt the classroom management, even if he or she hasn’t seen this situation before. According to Leonard Mlodinow, author of Elastic, flexible thinkers rely on idea generation and imagination — they are willing to experiment and take risks. “Elastic thinking, or flexible thinking, is what you need when the circumstances change, and you are dealing with something new. It’s not about following rules.” Therefore, instead of following the typical procedure for welcoming a new student, the teacher might come up with a tailored response, based on prediction and previous experience. So, how can you become a more flexible thinker? According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it’s all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences, which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design. Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax, giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas. Mlodinow says it’s very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. This will help you understand multiple points of view and therefore blossom in many different aspects of your career. So, if you want to make a change, you can become a flexible thinker too, with a little practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 抢分10 职业规划与个人成长（热点话题） 热点导读 热点集训 职业规划与个人成长 (Career Planning & Personal Growth) 核心内涵 涵盖兴趣与专业选择、未来职业趋势、挫折成长、终身学习、自我提升与生涯规划 考查角度 观点态度、推理引申、主旨概括、建议归纳、成长启示理解 备考重点 积累职业与成长类词汇；把握议论文与人物故事结构；提升观点归纳与启示提炼能力 相关词汇 potential, career path, set goals, perseverance 语法填空 批判校园 “职业至上” 风气，学生过度追逐金融、科技热门岗位，引发普遍焦虑。 选词填空 以画家 Alma Thomas 晚年成名为例，阐述职业是内心召唤，何时追寻都不晚。 完形填空 揭露女性职场困境：双重标准、玻璃天花板、家务负担，呼吁改变男性主导的职场文化。 阅读理解 A篇：15 岁少年 Henry Patterson9 岁创业，克服口吃与孤独，靠创意与热情打造国际品牌。 B篇：介绍长期职业规划方法：设定多元目标、关注行业趋势、精进工作、拓展人脉与视野。 概要写作 灵活思维助力职业发展，助你适应变化、创新解题，可通过多元体验与刻意练习培养。 一、语法填空 Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.

But at the key meeting a male executive said: “I don’t know; she just doesn’t fit.

The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, started his business journey at the age of 9 when he launched his children’s brand, Not Before Tea. The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop. Patterson began by selling sweets, but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life — through products such as bags and soft toys. Today, the products are sold internationally, and Patterson has just secured investment to grow the brand further. At 12, his business had earned him 65,000 pounds (566,221 yuan). In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”. He wasn’t consistent with what his peers were like because he saw the world differently and was rarely invited to parties or play dates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even lonelier. But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually immersed (使……沉浸) himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. To battle his stammer, he tried to express himself clearly and even developed a love for public speaking, which eventually enabled him to speak on important stages, such as at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers. Storytelling has been a key element in Patterson’s online business journey. Now at 15, Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty, which describes his search for success and happiness and also covers some of the big issues that young people face: self-esteem, finding your voice, education and creativity.   He has also set up an online academy (学院) with the same name. It is for children aged 10 to 14, who are starting to think about their future and what motivates them. He believes that passion is what drives people to achieve extraordinary things. “If you don’t have a passion for what you do and love what you do then you won’t succeed,” he said. 36．What can we know about Not Before Tea? A．It is a sweets shop in Bedfordshire. B．Its birth was inspired by a storybook. C．It is a brand well known around the world. D．It has earned Patterson 65,000 pounds in total. 37．What happened to Patterson during his early school years? A．He struggled to fit in at school. B．He went to a lot of parties. C．He had difficulty writing stories. D．He wrote a business book. 38．Which of the following best describes Patterson? A．Brave and hardworking. B．Creative and strong-willed. C．Humorous and talented. D．Honest and independent. 39．What would Patterson probably agree with according to the text? A．Storytelling ability is key to business success. B．People should plan for their future as early as possible. C．Success cannot be achieved without passion. D．Passion decides whether a person can be extraordinary. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．B 39．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Henry Patterson从9岁开始创立品牌，克服诸多困难，最终在商业上取得成功并分享经验的故事。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段中“launched his children’s brand, Not Before Tea (创立了自己的儿童品牌Not Before Tea)”以及第三段中“The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip (这个面向年轻人的生活方式品牌基于一本名为《Sherb和Pip的冒险》的故事书)”可知，该品牌的诞生灵感来自故事书。故选B项。 37．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”. He wasn’t consistent with what his peers were like because he saw the world differently and was rarely invited to parties or play dates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even lonelier.(事实上，Patterson早期的学校生活很艰难，他经常将其描述为“冰与火”。他和同龄人不一样，因为他看世界的方式不同，他很少被邀请参加聚会或玩耍约会。他还有口吃，这使他更孤独)”可知，Patterson难以融入早期的学校生活。故选A项。 38．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Patterson gradually immersed (使……沉浸) himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them (Patterson逐渐沉浸在设计不同动物、写相关有趣故事的事情中)”可知，Patterson有创造力。根据第五段“To battle his stammer, he tried to express himself clearly and even developed a love for public speaking (为了克服口吃，他努力清晰地表达自己，甚至爱上了公开演讲)”可知，Patterson勇敢面对并解决困难、意志坚定。故选B项。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““If you don’t have a passion for what you do and love what you do then you won’t succeed,” he said. (他说：“如果你对你所做的事情没有热情，没有爱，那么你就不会成功。”)”可知，Patterson认为成功离不开热情。故选C项。 B The worst time to look for a job is when you feel desperate and must have a new one immediately. 40 If you are not in need of an immediate career change, here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects today; Identify at least two different roles.

Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Flexible Thinking for Your Career Does work ever leave you feeling stuck with limited opportunities to be creative? To prosper, you might want to increase your brain’s flexibility. But is this even possible, and if so, how? Most jobs require the ability to problem-solve and cope with challenges, at least to a certain extent. Imagine a teacher who has a new and very nervous student in the class. If that teacher is a flexible thinker, he or she will be able to adapt the classroom management, even if he or she hasn’t seen this situation before. According to Leonard Mlodinow, author of Elastic, flexible thinkers rely on idea generation and imagination — they are willing to experiment and take risks. “Elastic thinking, or flexible thinking, is what you need when the circumstances change, and you are dealing with something new. It’s not about following rules.” Therefore, instead of following the typical procedure for welcoming a new student, the teacher might come up with a tailored response, based on prediction and previous experience. So, how can you become a more flexible thinker? According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it’s all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences, which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design. Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax, giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas. Mlodinow says it’s very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. This will help you understand multiple points of view and therefore blossom in many different aspects of your career. So, if you want to make a change, you can become a flexible thinker too, with a little practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       Flexible thinking is essential for career prosperity, as it helps people adapt to new situations and solve problems with imagination rather than rigid rules. It can be developed by exercising the brain, such as gaining diverse experiences, daydreaming, accepting opposing ideas and stepping out of comfort zones. Some companies also optimize workspaces to foster this ability. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了灵活思维对职业发展至关重要，能助力应对新情况、解决问题，可通过多样体验、放空、接纳异见等大脑锻炼来培养。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①To prosper, you might want to increase your brain’s flexibility.
