For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career. Set Clear Professional Goals Begin by defining what you want to achieve in your role, both in the short and long term. Goals should be challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks and create a timeline for completion. This structured approach turns abstract ambitions into a clear action plan, providing direction and a sense of accomplishment as you progress. Develop Workplace Communication Effective interaction is significant. You will cooperate with colleagues, report to managers, and possibly engage with clients. To build strong professional relationships, practice active listening and express your ideas clearly and respectfully. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (提示) and be open to feedback. Understanding others’ viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization. Master Time and Task Management The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency. Instead, focus on completing one task well before moving to the next. Staying organized is key to meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Manage Your Finances Wisely Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out). Prioritize saving a portion of your income, even a small amount, to build an emergency fund. Additionally, explore basic investment options to grow your wealth over time. Financial stability reduces stress and provides greater freedom to pursue your goals. By focusing on these areas, you can navigate your first year with confidence, laying the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling career. 21．Who is the intended audience of this guide? A．University graduates entering the workforce. B．Senior managers planning to hire new graduates. C．High school students applying for part-time jobs. D．Financial advisors assisting young professionals. 22．According to the guide, how should one deal with large professional goals? A．Seek advice from experienced colleagues instantly. B．Break them into smaller, manageable steps. C．Adjust them frequently based on feedback. D．Focus merely on urgent tasks first. 23．What does the guide emphasize about workplace communication? A．The primary goal is to impress leaders with complex ideas. B．It is mainly about promoting one’s own achievements. C．Understanding and respecting others’ views is crucial. D．Avoiding non-verbal communication is recommended. 24．What is the key to handling a heavy workload effectively? A．Prioritizing tasks and avoiding distractions. B．Multitasking to complete more tasks meanwhile. C．Relying entirely on digital tools for scheduling. D．Working longer hours to ensure all deadlines are met. 25．What is the first step recommended for financial management? A．Investing immediately in high-risk opportunities. B．Making a budget to keep track of finances. C．Setting aside all discretionary income for savings. D．Consulting a financial advisor for complex plans. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．C 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章为初入职场的大学毕业生提供了一份实用指南，围绕设定职业目标、职场沟通、时间任务管理以及财务管理四个方面展开，助力其顺利度过职场第一年。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段中“For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career.(对大多数毕业生而言，这是他们首次实现完全经济独立并置身专业环境。要成功适应职场，仅靠专业技能远远不够。以下是四项关键策略，助你筑牢职业生涯根基)”可知，这份指南的目标受众是初入职场的大学毕业生。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Goals should be challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks and create a timeline for completion.(目标应该具有挑战性，但也要切合实际，既能推动你成长，又不会让你精疲力竭。把大目标分解成可完成的任务，并制定完成时间表)”可知，对于大的职业目标，应该将它们分解成更小、更易管理的步骤。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Understanding others’ viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization.(理解他人的观点可以促进团队合作，并展现出情商，这在任何组织中都是非常受重视的)”可知，职场沟通中，指南强调理解和尊重他人的观点至关重要。故选C项。 24．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency.(工作量可能会让人难以承受。根据紧急性和重要性对任务进行优先级排序。使用数字日历或计划表等工具来安排你的一天，为深度工作、会议和休息分配时间。避免多任务处理，因为它通常会降低效率)”可知，有效处理繁重工作量的关键是优先安排任务并避免分心。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out).(你的第一份薪水带来了独立，但也带来了经济责任。首先制定一个预算：跟踪你的收入、基本开支(租金、水电费、杂货)和可自由支配的开支(娱乐、外出就餐))”可知，财务管理的第一步是制定预算以跟踪财务状况。故选B项。 C The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured a breathtaking performance that seamlessly blended traditional Chinese martial arts with cutting-edge technology: a carefully designed martial arts routine performed by humanoid robots. This was not merely entertainment for the audience; it was a powerful declaration of China’s rapid and impressive advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. Compared to their debut just a year earlier, the 2026 robots demonstrated astonishing progress in every aspect. Gone were the stiff, awkward and hesitant movements of the past. Dozens of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robots perfectly carried out complex and skillful actions, including high-speed flips, synchronized (同步的) nunchaku swings, and even the delicate, unsteady steps of “Drunken Fist.” They maintained stable balance, performed flawless formations, and interacted safely with young human martial artists, a breakthrough that reflected huge leaps in both stability and dynamic motion control. Behind the striking performance lies a convergence of advanced technologies that together make such precise movements possible. Powered by highly developed AI control systems and equipped with LiDAR (激光雷达) sensors, the robots can map the 3D stage environment in real time, enabling them to recognize their positions accurately and adjust their movements instantly to stay perfectly synchronized. Their flexible jumps and flips rely on powerful actuators (执行器) and massive professional training data, proving that machines can now attain a level of athleticism once considered unique to humans. The meaning of the display goes far beyond artistic effect. As a milestone in intelligent manufacturing, the show underlines China’s growing competitiveness in the global humanoid robot industry. While Chinese companies take a major share of the world market, the gala performance more importantly shows the nation’s strong ability to combine AI technology with a complete supply chain. It suggests a future where robots, having mastered the precision of kung fu, will undertake complex tasks in industry and daily life, turning technological strength into practical social value. 26．What was the most significant improvement in the 2026 robot performance compared to the previous year? A．The robots performed hesitant movements on a larger stage. B．The robots moved more smoothly and performed complex actions. C．The robots were controlled by young human performers. D．The robots could speak and interact with the martial audience. 27．The underlined word “convergence” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________. A．combination B．competition C．conflict D．creativity 28．How did the robots maintain perfect synchronization during the performance? A．They followed fixed routes without any adjustment. B．They were remotely controlled by engineers behind the stage. C．They used sensors to map the stage and adjust movements in real time. D．They responded to voice commands from human performers. 29．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The performance was meant to show robots are better than humans at martial arts. B．China has led the world in all fields of intelligent manufacturing. C．Human performers will gradually disappear from traditional cultural galas. D．The performance stood for China’s progress in AI and manufacturing integration. 30．According to the passage, what future role are these robots expected to play? A．Replacing all human workers in factories. B．Performing only in entertainment shows. C．Taking on complex tasks in industry and daily life. D．Competing in international martial arts competitions. 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．C 29．D 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了2026年央视春晚机器人武术表演展现了中国在机器人和人工智能领域的进步，以及这些机器人未来在工业和日常生活中的应用前景。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Compared to their debut just a year earlier, the 2026 robots demonstrated astonishing progress in every aspect.

Now in its third edition, the festival has evolved into a platform for cultural exchange, artistic innovation, and even social commentary. From April 9 to 12, 2026, the streets and theaters of Macao will come alive with performances that range from traditional crosstalk to avant-garde clowning, attracting both established stars and emerging talents. One of the festival’s key goals is to nurture new comedic voices. This year, a special “Rising Stars” segment has been introduced, giving young comedians from Chinese-speaking regions a chance to perform alongside international headliners. A panel of judges, including Shen Teng and Ma Li, will select the most promising acts, offering them mentorship and opportunities to tour. This initiative reflects a growing recognition that comedy, like other art forms, requires a steady pipeline of fresh talent to thrive. Moreover, the festival organizers have partnered with several universities to hold pre-festival workshops, teaching students the fundamentals of sketch writing and improvisation. Another notable feature of the 2026 festival is its focus on comedy as a form of social resilience. In recent years, global challenges such as economic uncertainty and public health crises have left many people feeling anxious. Comedy, with its ability to reframe difficulties and find humor in everyday struggles, serves as a coping mechanism. Several performances at the festival will directly address topics like work-from-home mishaps, digital addiction, and the absurdities of modern life. By laughing at these shared experiences, audiences can feel less isolated in their frustrations. The festival also contributes to Macao’s long-term development strategy. As a Special Administrative Region, Macao has been actively seeking to reduce its reliance on gaming revenue. Events like the comedy festival attract a different kind of tourist — those interested in culture, food, and the arts. Local government officials have expressed support for the festival, noting that it aligns with the national push for high-quality development of the cultural industry. Hotels report higher booking rates during the festival period, and small businesses near the venues see a noticeable boost in sales. Despite its success, organizing such a large-scale event is not without challenges. Securing venues, coordinating international performers, and ensuring safety protocols all require meticulous planning. Moreover, comedy is deeply rooted in language and culture; what makes one audience laugh may fall flat with another. The festival’s cross-cultural exchange segment aims to bridge these gaps by encouraging performers to adapt their material for diverse audiences. This effort, while difficult, is essential for fostering genuine international understanding. As the festival approaches, excitement is building. For many attendees, it is not just a chance to see famous comedians but an opportunity to experience the unifying power of laughter. In a world often divided by differences, comedy reminds us of our shared humanity. The third Macao International Comedy Festival, with its rich program and ambitious vision, stands as a testament to that idea. 31．What is the purpose of the “Rising Stars” segment at the festival? A．To replace international headliners. B．To give young comedians a platform and mentorship. C．To focus only on traditional crosstalk. D．To compete with film festivals. 32．How does the passage describe comedy as a form of social resilience? A．It helps people ignore problems. B．It reframes difficulties and provides a coping mechanism. C．It increases anxiety. D．It only entertains children. 33．According to the passage, what is one way the festival supports Macao’s development? A．By increasing gaming revenue. B．By attracting cultural tourists and boosting local businesses. C．By reducing hotel bookings. D．By focusing only on local audiences. 34．What challenge does the festival face regarding cross-cultural comedy? A．Lack of international interest. B．Differences in language and culture affecting humor. C．Too many performers. D．Government opposition. 35．What overall message does the passage convey about the festival?

A panel of judges, including Shen Teng and Ma Li, will select the most promising acts, offering them mentorship and opportunities to tour.(今年推出了一个特别的‘新星’环节，让来自华语地区的年轻喜剧演员有机会与国际知名演员同台表演。包括沈腾和马丽在内的评审团将选出最有潜力的表演，为他们提供指导和巡演机会。)”可知，“新星”环节的目的是为年轻喜剧演员提供平台和指导。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Comedy, with its ability to reframe difficulties and find humor in everyday struggles, serves as a coping mechanism.(喜剧能够重新定义困难，在日常挣扎中找到幽默，因此成为一种应对机制。)”可知，文章将喜剧描述为一种能够重新定义困难并提供应对机制的社会韧性形式。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Events like the comedy festival attract a different kind of tourist — those interested in culture, food, and the arts.(像喜剧节这样的活动吸引了不同类型的游客——那些对文化、美食和艺术感兴趣的人。)”和“Hotels report higher booking rates during the festival period, and small businesses near the venues see a noticeable boost in sales.(酒店报告在节日期间预订率更高，场馆附近的小企业销售额也明显增长。)”可知，喜剧节通过吸引文化游客和促进当地商业来支持澳门的发展。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Moreover, comedy is deeply rooted in language and culture; what makes one audience laugh may fall flat with another. The festival’s cross-cultural exchange segment aims to bridge these gaps by encouraging performers to adapt their material for diverse audiences. (此外，喜剧深深植根于语言和文化；能让一个观众发笑的内容可能对另一个观众毫无效果。节日的跨文化交流环节旨在通过鼓励表演者为不同观众调整素材来弥合这些差距。)”可知，喜剧节面临的挑战是语言和文化的差异影响幽默效果。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“its impact extends far beyond laughter(其影响远不止笑声)”和“the festival has evolved into a platform for cultural exchange(这个节日已经发展成为一个文化交流的平台)”，以及最后一段中“For many attendees, it is not just a chance to see famous comedians but an opportunity to experience the unifying power of laughter. In a world often divided by differences, comedy reminds us of our shared humanity.(对许多参与者来说，这不仅是看到著名喜剧演员的机会，更是体验笑声凝聚力量的机会。在一个经常因差异而分裂的世界里，喜剧提醒我们我们共同的人性。)”可知，文章传达的总体信息是喜剧节展示了笑声的凝聚力和文化交流的力量。故选B。 三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When women do become managers, do they bring a different style and different 36    Are they better, or worse, managers than men?

These walls were fortification (碉堡), a necessity throughout medieval eras for defense. They have been preserved as historical monuments and popular tourist attractions in the modern time. York, England The city of York is a medieval city situated in the north of England. Historically, the city was ruled by the Romans, Angles, and the Vikings before being incorporated as part of the Kingdom of England in 954. Located in the city are walls built in 71AD which have been restored and extended with time. Xi’an, China The city of Xian is one of the oldest cities in China. It prospered economically as the eastern last station of the Silk Road. The existing walls were originally built in 770 BC and reconstructed in the 14th century under the Ming Dynasty. The walls are well preserved and are a major tourist attraction in the city. Quebec City, Canada Quebec City was a colonial (殖民地的) town which was fortified by the settling Europeans. The walls began to be built in 1608 under both British and French regimes (政权). A fort was constructed by the British as an additional defensive measure and remains undamaged to date. The city’s fortifications were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Mexico City, Mexico Historically, the City of Mexico gained importance as the Aztec Capital. The Spanish then drove out the Aztecs and rebuilt it as the Spanish Capital. The walls protecting the city were built in 1521.

D．Society B Thriving in Your First Year of Work: A Practical Guide Transitioning (过渡) from campus to the workplace is a significant step, bringing new responsibilities and challenges. For most graduates, it’s the first time they are fully financially independent and dealing with a professional environment. Adapting successfully requires more than just technical skills. Here are four essential strategies to help you build a strong foundation for your career. Set Clear Professional Goals Begin by defining what you want to achieve in your role, both in the short and long term. Goals should be challenging yet realistic, pushing you to grow without causing burnout. Break larger goals into attainable tasks and create a timeline for completion. This structured approach turns abstract ambitions into a clear action plan, providing direction and a sense of accomplishment as you progress. Develop Workplace Communication Effective interaction is significant. You will cooperate with colleagues, report to managers, and possibly engage with clients. To build strong professional relationships, practice active listening and express your ideas clearly and respectfully. Pay attention to non-verbal cues (提示) and be open to feedback. Understanding others’ viewpoints promotes teamwork and shows emotional intelligence, which is highly valued in any organization. Master Time and Task Management The workload can be overwhelming. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance. Use tools like digital calendars or planners to schedule your day, allocating time for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Avoid multitasking, as it often reduces efficiency. Instead, focus on completing one task well before moving to the next. Staying organized is key to meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Manage Your Finances Wisely Your first salary brings independence but also financial responsibilities. Start by creating a budget: track your income, essential expenses (rent, utilities, groceries), and discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out). Prioritize saving a portion of your income, even a small amount, to build an emergency fund. Additionally, explore basic investment options to grow your wealth over time. Financial stability reduces stress and provides greater freedom to pursue your goals. By focusing on these areas, you can navigate your first year with confidence, laying the groundwork for a successful and fulfilling career. 21．Who is the intended audience of this guide?

D．Financial advisors assisting young professionals. 22．According to the guide, how should one deal with large professional goals? A．Seek advice from experienced colleagues instantly. B．Break them into smaller, manageable steps. C．Adjust them frequently based on feedback. D．Focus merely on urgent tasks first. 23．What does the guide emphasize about workplace communication? A．The primary goal is to impress leaders with complex ideas. B．It is mainly about promoting one’s own achievements. C．Understanding and respecting others’ views is crucial. D．Avoiding non-verbal communication is recommended. 24．What is the key to handling a heavy workload effectively? A．Prioritizing tasks and avoiding distractions. B．Multitasking to complete more tasks meanwhile. C．Relying entirely on digital tools for scheduling. D．Working longer hours to ensure all deadlines are met. 25．What is the first step recommended for financial management? A．Investing immediately in high-risk opportunities.

C The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala featured a breathtaking performance that seamlessly blended traditional Chinese martial arts with cutting-edge technology: a carefully designed martial arts routine performed by humanoid robots. This was not merely entertainment for the audience; it was a powerful declaration of China’s rapid and impressive advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. Compared to their debut just a year earlier, the 2026 robots demonstrated astonishing progress in every aspect. Gone were the stiff, awkward and hesitant movements of the past. Dozens of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robots perfectly carried out complex and skillful actions, including high-speed flips, synchronized (同步的) nunchaku swings, and even the delicate, unsteady steps of “Drunken Fist.” They maintained stable balance, performed flawless formations, and interacted safely with young human martial artists, a breakthrough that reflected huge leaps in both stability and dynamic motion control. Behind the striking performance lies a convergence of advanced technologies that together make such precise movements possible. Powered by highly developed AI control systems and equipped with LiDAR (激光雷达) sensors, the robots can map the 3D stage environment in real time, enabling them to recognize their positions accurately and adjust their movements instantly to stay perfectly synchronized. Their flexible jumps and flips rely on powerful actuators (执行器) and massive professional training data, proving that machines can now attain a level of athleticism once considered unique to humans. The meaning of the display goes far beyond artistic effect. As a milestone in intelligent manufacturing, the show underlines China’s growing competitiveness in the global humanoid robot industry. While Chinese companies take a major share of the world market, the gala performance more importantly shows the nation’s strong ability to combine AI technology with a complete supply chain. It suggests a future where robots, having mastered the precision of kung fu, will undertake complex tasks in industry and daily life, turning technological strength into practical social value. 26．What was the most significant improvement in the 2026 robot performance compared to the previous year? A．The robots performed hesitant movements on a larger stage. B．The robots moved more smoothly and performed complex actions. C．The robots were controlled by young human performers. D．The robots could speak and interact with the martial audience. 27．The underlined word “convergence” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________. A．combination B．competition C．conflict D．creativity 28．How did the robots maintain perfect synchronization during the performance? A．They followed fixed routes without any adjustment. B．They were remotely controlled by engineers behind the stage. C．They used sensors to map the stage and adjust movements in real time. D．They responded to voice commands from human performers. 29．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The performance was meant to show robots are better than humans at martial arts. B．China has led the world in all fields of intelligent manufacturing. C．Human performers will gradually disappear from traditional cultural galas. D．The performance stood for China’s progress in AI and manufacturing integration. 30．According to the passage, what future role are these robots expected to play? A．Replacing all human workers in factories. B．Performing only in entertainment shows. C．Taking on complex tasks in industry and daily life. D．Competing in international martial arts competitions. D While the Macao International Comedy Festival is primarily a celebration of humor, its impact extends far beyond laughter. Now in its third edition, the festival has evolved into a platform for cultural exchange, artistic innovation, and even social commentary. From April 9 to 12, 2026, the streets and theaters of Macao will come alive with performances that range from traditional crosstalk to avant-garde clowning, attracting both established stars and emerging talents. One of the festival’s key goals is to nurture new comedic voices. This year, a special “Rising Stars” segment has been introduced, giving young comedians from Chinese-speaking regions a chance to perform alongside international headliners. A panel of judges, including Shen Teng and Ma Li, will select the most promising acts, offering them mentorship and opportunities to tour. This initiative reflects a growing recognition that comedy, like other art forms, requires a steady pipeline of fresh talent to thrive. Moreover, the festival organizers have partnered with several universities to hold pre-festival workshops, teaching students the fundamentals of sketch writing and improvisation. Another notable feature of the 2026 festival is its focus on comedy as a form of social resilience. In recent years, global challenges such as economic uncertainty and public health crises have left many people feeling anxious. Comedy, with its ability to reframe difficulties and find humor in everyday struggles, serves as a coping mechanism. Several performances at the festival will directly address topics like work-from-home mishaps, digital addiction, and the absurdities of modern life. By laughing at these shared experiences, audiences can feel less isolated in their frustrations. The festival also contributes to Macao’s long-term development strategy. As a Special Administrative Region, Macao has been actively seeking to reduce its reliance on gaming revenue. Events like the comedy festival attract a different kind of tourist — those interested in culture, food, and the arts. Local government officials have expressed support for the festival, noting that it aligns with the national push for high-quality development of the cultural industry. Hotels report higher booking rates during the festival period, and small businesses near the venues see a noticeable boost in sales. Despite its success, organizing such a large-scale event is not without challenges. Securing venues, coordinating international performers, and ensuring safety protocols all require meticulous planning. Moreover, comedy is deeply rooted in language and culture; what makes one audience laugh may fall flat with another. The festival’s cross-cultural exchange segment aims to bridge these gaps by encouraging performers to adapt their material for diverse audiences. This effort, while difficult, is essential for fostering genuine international understanding. As the festival approaches, excitement is building. For many attendees, it is not just a chance to see famous comedians but an opportunity to experience the unifying power of laughter. In a world often divided by differences, comedy reminds us of our shared humanity. The third Macao International Comedy Festival, with its rich program and ambitious vision, stands as a testament to that idea. 31．What is the purpose of the “Rising Stars” segment at the festival?
