B.You can get money from the position. 期 C.It is a full time job. D.Free meals are available. B I left university with a good degree in English Literature,but no sense of what I wan ted to do.Over the next six years,.I was treading water(停滞不前)，just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism,but I didn't think I was any good,then finance,which I hated. Finally,I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work,and I decided to try to satisfy a deep- down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. 英语14-1 It takes confidence to make a new start-there's a dark period in-bet ween where you're neither one thing nor the other.You're out for dinner and people ask what you do,and you're too ashamed to say,"Well,I'm writing a novel,but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there."My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside. Then I met an agent()who said I should send my novel out to agents.So,I did and,to my surprise,got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and,after signing with an agent,I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher.After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering,a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck-of fate,really.When you set out to do something different,there's no end in sight,so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract()of the publisher-to be a published writer-is un- believably rewarding. 4.Why did the author decide to write a novel? A.Because she hated her previous jobs. B.Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so. C.Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel. D.Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature. 5.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A.She became less stubborn. B.She became more stubborn. C.She suddenly lost confidence. D.She gradually gained confidence. 6.Who agreed to publish the author's first novel? A.An agent who she signed with. B.A rights assistant she once worked with. C.An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents. D.A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant. 7.Which of the following words can best describe the author's experience as a writer? A.Tough but rewarding. B.Interesting and smooth. C.Difficult but thrilling. D.Complicated and fruitless. Finding a job is difficult.But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job.Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period. Be friendly to people.Any job is better when you are friends of the people that you are working with.You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting.Actually listen to what these people tell you.Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen. Stay positive.One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativi- ty.If you automatically make judgments about things at the office that you aren't going to like,then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude.Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job. Keep relaxed.Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately.You are going to make some mistakes.You are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things more differently than what they're used to.Be re- laxed.The thing that you really need to get used to a new job is just time. 英语14-2 Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy,but it doesn't have to be particularly difficult either.Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accep- ting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all!After you have adjusted to your new job,the way to do the job well is coming to the first question. &.The underlined word“untoward'”in Paragraph 1 probably means“ A.difficult B.impressive C.important D.shocking 9.In the author's opinion,you can learn unspoken rules by A.asking for others'help B.copying others'behavior C.following others'instructions D.noticing what's going on in the workplace 10.If the passage continues,what may be talked about? A.How to keep relaxed. B.How to do your job well. C.How to make fewer mistakes in your job. D.The importance of adjusting to your new job. 11.What would be the best title for this passage? A.What to Do in an Interview B.Ways to Find a Satisfactory Job C.Tips for Adjusting to a New Job D.How to Get Along Well with Others D When I graduated from high school,I wanted to major in comparative literature.But, once I found out my friends were going into "real"majors,like marketing,nursing,and engineering,I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career.So I changed my mind and choose Business Management as my major.I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future,but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques.Coming out of this experience,I realize it is OK to be different from others and to study things like classic art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities. The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career after- wards are that the majors are too abstract,and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe,offer a broad perspective.How could one effectively be an unbi- ased(无偏见的)writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society?How could one speak persuasively with closed minds?Only seeing the world through a single perspec- tive leads to missed learning,missed friendships,and missed growth!With a broader per- spective,we will be more free,more open-minded,and less limited in what we can be- come. STEM(science,technology,engineering and mathematics)graduates learn actual skills in their studies while humanities majors learn "soft skills"like communicating effec- tively through writing critically and speaking persuasively,synthesizing (ideas through gathering and interpreting information,and developing cultural awareness.Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you?Think of it.How often do you com- municate with others?Produce ideas?Encounter people from other cultures?Every day. Every SECOND of every day.So why not master these skills? If you choose a major in the College of Humanities,you will be needed.The job mar- ket is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future.Your skills will be valuable to any work- place you hope to be in.Chase after your dream major with all your energy,no matter what other people think. 英语14-3 12.Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first? A.He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques. B.He wanted to go to the same university as his friends. C.He believed Business Management was more practical. D.He was tired of learning comparative literature. 13.In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role? A.Playing a musical instrument. B.Negotiating with a business partner. C.Writing a software program. D.Performing a heart operation. 14.The author believes the job market for Humanities graduates is A.challenging B.recovering C.depressing D.promising 15.What could be the best title for this passage? A.How to Acquire Soft Skills B.Humanities vs STEM C.Stick to Your Desired Major D.Broaden Your Perspective Ⅱ.阅读填句（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Career planning is not something that you do once and then forget.It's an activity you should do at least once a year.1 Make career planning a regular event. Find a day or weekend at least once a year and schedule time to truly focus on what you want out of your career. Our likes and dislikes change over time,so it's always a good idea to reflect on what you feel strongly about in your life and career.Make a list of what you like and dislike about your job.Hopefully you still enjoy a lot of your work activities,but if that's not the case,it might be time to start considering a new job or career. Set career goals. While you can be successful in your career without setting goals,you can be even more successful after setting them.What are your short-term (within a year)and long-term (within five to 10 years)career goals?You probably already know about SMART (specif- 烯 ic,measurable,achievable,relevant,and time-bound)goals.Always write them down and share the list with someone.3 Another big part of career planning is reviewing and adjusting these goals on a regular basis and developing new goals once you accomplish()your previous ones.4 Explore new education or training opportunities. Never miss a chance to learn and grow more as an employee and individual.Part of ca- reer planning is finding training opportunities that will help you further your career.5 This is free money and can be valuable in reaching your goals. A.Research further career advancement opportunities. B.This will help you to create a sense of accountability. C.Here are four steps you can take to develop a career plan. D.Reflect on what you like,dislike,need,and want from work. E.A fun part of career planning is picturing your career in the future. F.If your company offers professional development opportunities,take advantage of them. G.So,each time you sit down to do some career planning,break out this list and review it. 英语14-4C.[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一对母 女与其他志愿者携手合作，为当地人搭建了一个野餐桌， 供他们午餐或休息，并为当地艺术家搭建了舞台，供他们 在社区节日期间表演的事迹。 8.D[推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a teenager,Inev er saw neighbors or local organizations come to my com- munity to volunteer,but when the request was put out to revitalize()the same streets that I grew up on,I jumped at the opportunity..(作为一名青少年，我从未见 过邻居或当地组织来我的社区做志愿者，但当要求振兴 我长大的街道时，我抓住了这个机会。)”可知，Mack对 于重新振兴自己长大的街道是充满热情的。 9.A[词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的非限制性定语从 "which was once full of life,did not look the same as it did when she rode bikes with her friends to the local candy store.(当她和朋友们骑着自行车去当地的糖果店 时，这个曾经充满活力的地方看起来已经不一样了。)” 可知，该地方是Mack曾经成长的街区。由此可知，画线 词与A选项“neighborhood”为同义词，意为“街区”。] l0.C[细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was important for her to not only show her college-bound daughter where she grew up,but she also wanted her daughter to experi- ence what it felt like to give back,especially to her own community..(对她来说，重要的不仅是让她即将上大学 的女儿看看她是在哪里长大的，而且她还想让她的女儿 体验回馈的感觉，尤其是对她自己的社区。)”可知，Mack 之所以让女儿与她一同参与社区志愿活动是因为她还 想让她的女儿体验回馈的感觉，尤其是对她自己的社 区。] 1l.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The mother and daughter worked hand-in-hand with other volunteers to build a picnic table for locals to have lunch or rest and a stage for local artists to perform during community fes- tivities.(这对母女与其他志愿者携手合作，为当地人搭 建了一个野餐桌，供他们午餐或休息，并为当地艺术家 搭建了一个舞台，供他们在社区节日期间表演。)”可知， Shanta Mack是一位负责和有爱心的人士。] D.[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。文章就强制性社区 服务会不会挫伤学生未来参加志愿活动的积极性展开 论述。 高二下学期期末 答案 T.1-5 CDDCC 6-10 DAADB I.A.[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章向我们介绍 了一个志愿者社会护理助理的广告，介绍了招募的要求及
