Do you think about what you are going to do after junior high school? Will you go to senior high school? Will you learn a trade (手艺)? Maybe it is time to think about your future choices and to prepare for them. Someday work will be a big part of your life. What kind of job would be right for you in the future? Think about your interests and your skills. You may like to listen to music, dance, play basketball, or work with computers. You may know how to cook a delicious meal or how to get on with people. Knowing both your interests and skills will help you make a better plan for your future job. Laura Zhang, an art designer (设计师), enjoys her work because it allows her to use her interests and skills. She enjoyed thinking of something in her mind when she was at school. She took art design and computer lessons, and also learned about taking photos on her own. Here is what she says about the meaning of work: “If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money. It means using your talents, doing something helpful, and having a real happy feeling in your heart from doing a job.” 现在你大部分时间都在学校度过。你想过初中毕业后要做什么吗？你会去上高中吗？你会学一门手艺吗？也许是时候考虑你未来的选择并为此做准备了。总有一天，工作会成为你生活中很重要的一部分。 什么样的工作适合你未来？想一想你的兴趣和技能。你可能喜欢听音乐、跳舞、打篮球，或者使用电脑。你可能会做一顿美味的饭，或者懂得如何与人相处。了解你的兴趣和技能，会帮你为未来的职业做出更好的规划。 艺术设计师张劳拉很喜欢她的工作，因为这份工作能让她发挥自己的兴趣和技能。她在上学时就喜欢在脑海里构思东西。她上了艺术设计和计算机课程，还自学了摄影。 下面是她对工作意义的看法：“如果你有一份自己喜欢的工作，工作的意义就远不止是赚钱。它意味着发挥你的才能，做一些有意义的事，并从工作中获得发自内心的真正幸福感。” 1．How does the writer introduce the topic at the beginning? A．By listing facts. B．By asking questions. C．By giving examples. D．By telling differences. 2．Which of the following is most helpful for planning a future job? A．Spending most of your time at school. B．Learning a trade before going to senior high. C．Finding someone who can teach you how to cook. D．Understanding what you like and what you can do. 3．Which of the following would Laura Zhang most agree with? A．Meaningful work can bring you more than just money. B．Choosing jobs is more about the pay rather than hobbies. C．Jobs mean mainly a way to make more money. D．Creative jobs are more meaningful for most people. 4．What does the word “It” refer to? A．Having a job you like. B．Making more money. C．Using your talents. D．Doing something helpful. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The importance of going to senior high school. B．The reasons why work will be a big part of your life. C．The way of choosing a future job by knowing yourself. D．The experience of Laura Zhang’s learning art design. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了初中生如何为未来的职业选择做准备。文章建议学生通过了解自己的兴趣和技能来规划未来，并以艺术设计师Laura Zhang为例，说明做自己喜欢的工作能带来超越金钱的快乐。 1．文章第一段连续提出了三个问题：“Do you think about what you are going to do...?”、“Will you go to senior high school?”、“Will you learn a trade?”。因此，作者通过提问的方式引起读者的思考，从而引出关于未来职业选择的话题。 2．根据第二段“Knowing both your interests and skills will help you make a better plan for your future job.”可知，了解自己喜欢什么和能做什么是最有帮助的。 3．根据最后一段Laura Zhang的话：“If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money.”可知，她认为有意义的工作带来的回报不仅仅是金钱。 4．代词“It”通常指代前文提到的内容。前一句是“If you have a job you like, work means much more than just making money.”，紧接着说“It means using your talents...”。这里的“It”指代的正是前句的主语，即“拥有一份你喜欢的工作”或者是这种工作状态。 5．文章首先提出要思考未来，接着建议通过了解兴趣和技能来规划职业，最后用Laura Zhang的例子佐证。因此，文章的主旨是关于通过了解自己（兴趣和技能）来选择未来工作的方法。 【重难词汇梳理】 必背核心词 2 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 spend /spend/v. 花费（时间 / 金钱） junior /ˈdʒuːniə(r)/adj. 初级的 senior /ˈsiːniə(r)/adj. 高级的 trade /treɪd/n. 手艺；职业 choice /tʃɔɪs/n. 选择 prepare /prɪˈpeə(r)/v. 准备 future /ˈfjuːtʃə(r)/n. 未来 interest /ˈɪntrəst/n. 兴趣 skill /skɪl/n. 技能 delicious /dɪˈlɪʃəs/adj. 美味的 designer /dɪˈzaɪnə(r)/n. 设计师 allow /əˈlaʊ/v. 使能够；允许 talent /ˈtælənt/n. 天赋；才能 meaningful /ˈmiːnɪŋfl/adj. 有意义的 happiness /ˈhæpinəs/n. 幸福 高频短语 think about 思考；考虑 prepare for 为…… 做准备 get on with 与…… 相处 make money 赚钱 more than 不仅仅；超过 on one’s own 独自；自学 make a plan 制定计划 【长难句分析】 1.Knowing both your interests and skills will help you make a better plan for your future job. 句意：了解自身的兴趣与技能，有助于你为未来的职业制定更完善的规划。 句式结构：本句为简单句，动名词短语作句子主语。 主语：Knowing both your interests and skills（了解你的兴趣和技能） 谓语：will help 宾语：you 宾语补足语：make a better plan for your future job 2.

In the video, the man is telling some tourists (游客) about the buildings in the Summer Palace (颐和园). He knows the buildings so well that many people think he is a guide (导游). But he is wearing the clothes of a cleaner and has a broom (扫帚) in his hand. So what does he do? A cleaner or a guide? In fact, the man is a cleaner and his name is Zhang Xu. Every day, he begins to work at 5:00 a.m. and goes home at 3:00 p.m. He walks about 40,000 steps in the palace every day. He sees the buildings in it every day, so he can say the names of them. At the same time, Zhang has a strong love for traditional architecture (传统建筑). In his free time, he reads a lot of books about them. So he can tell the stories behind them. ▲ He only wants to do his job well and help tourists learn more about the palace. For him, the buildings in the Summer Palace are his good friends. He is happy to stay with them every day. 许多人通过抖音上的一段视频认识了一位中年男子。在视频中，他正在给一些游客讲解颐和园的建筑。他对这些建筑了如指掌，以至于很多人以为他是一名导游。但他穿着清洁工的衣服，手里还拿着一把扫帚。那么他是做什么工作的呢？清洁工还是导游？ 事实上，这名男子是一名清洁工，名叫张旭。他每天早上 5 点开始工作，下午 3 点下班。他每天在颐和园里要走大约 4 万步。他每天都能看到园内的建筑，因此能说出它们的名字。同时，张旭对传统建筑有着浓厚的热爱。在空闲时间，他阅读了大量关于传统建筑的书籍，因此能讲述建筑背后的故事。 张旭说他从未想过自己会走红。他只想把本职工作做好，帮助游客更多地了解这座园林。对他来说，颐和园里的建筑就是他的好朋友。他很开心每天都能与它们相伴。 1．Zhang Xu is a ________ in the Summer Palace.

B．Zhang Xu is famous because of a video online. C．Zhang Xu knows the Summer Palace well because he can tell stories. D．Zhang Xu is very happy to be the tourists’ friend. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The Video Shared Online B．Traditional Chinese Architecture C．Buildings in Summer Palace D．Expert With a Broom 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了颐和园清洁工张旭因抖音视频走红，他虽为清洁工，却因热爱传统建筑、勤读相关书籍，能熟练讲解颐和园建筑及背后故事，不仅愿做好工作并帮助游客了解宫殿。 1．细节理解题。根据“In fact, the man is a cleaner and his name is Zhang Xu.”可知，张旭是颐和园的清洁工，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Every day, he begins to work at 5:00 a.m. and goes home at 3:00 p.m.”可知，下午3点为15点，15:00-5:00=10，他每天工作10小时，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据后文“He only wants to do his job well and help tourists learn more about the palace.”可知，他的动机并非追求出名，“Zhang says he doesn’t think he can be famous.”符合语境，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Many people get to know a middle-aged man from a video on Douyin.”可知，张旭因网上的视频出名，故B。 5．最佳标题题。本文讲述了一位清洁工因热爱学习、熟知颐和园建筑而被称为“扫帚专家”的故事，“Expert With a Broom”既点明身份又突出特点，生动形象地概括了全文，故选D。 【重难词汇梳理】 重点单词 video /ˈvɪdiəʊ/n. 视频 tourist /ˈtʊərɪst/n. 游客 palace /ˈpæləs/n. 宫殿 guide /ɡaɪd/n. 导游 cleaner /ˈkliːnə(r)/n. 清洁工 broom /bruːm/n. 扫帚 step /step/n. 脚步；步骤 traditional /trəˈdɪʃənl/adj. 传统的 architecture /ˈɑːkɪtektʃə(r)/n. 建筑 famous /ˈfeɪməs/adj. 著名的；出名的 重点短语 get to know 认识；了解 tell sb. about sth. 向某人讲述某事 know…well 非常了解…… in fact 事实上 begin to work 开始工作 go home 回家 at the same time 同时 have a strong love for 对…… 有强烈的热爱 in one’s free time 在某人的空闲时间 do one’s job well 做好本职工作 learn more about 更多地了解 【长难句分析】 1.

But as I grew 1 , my interest changed by accident. Actually, when I compare my childhood dream 2 my current (当前的) goal, I see a clear change. Now, I plan to become an IT engineer. Why? Because technology is 3 the world rapidly, and I want to play a role in it. This goal comes from my wish to solve real-world problems. To 4 this, I have made a detailed (详细的) plan. First, I am going to study math and computer science hard in high school. I will be even 5 because these subjects are the foundation (基础) of engineering. Second, I plan to learn coding (编程) in my 6 time. Coding helps me solve problems, and there are up to hundreds of online lessons for beginners. Third, I will try to enter a top university with a strong engineering program. I know the road ahead is challenging (挑战性的). Sometimes I might fail or feel 7 . However, I believe that if I stick to my plan and keep learning, I will succeed. My parents support me. They remind me to find 8 in learning, but I know it can be hard sometimes. Even then, I stay honest with myself and keep going. I enjoy every subject 9 maybe history, but I know each has its role. By comparing my progress over time, I see 10 I’ve come, and that gives me the greatest joy. 1．A．stronger B．younger C．older D．healthier 2．A．with B．at C．for D．from 3．A．solving B．reaching C．connecting D．changing 4．A．communicate B．achieve C．dream D．design 5．A．more hard-working B．the most hard-working C．more outgoing D．the most energetic 6．A．busy B．lively C．spare D．confident 7．A．relaxed B．disappointed C．interested D．surprised 8．A．pleasure B．humour C．difference D．instruction 9．A．besides B．without C．except D．instead 10．A．How long B．How many C．How far D．How old 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．C 【导语】本文讲述作者自己从小想当飞行员，长大后立志成为IT工程师的梦想转变。 1．句意：但随着我长大，我的兴趣无意间发生了改变。 grow older固定搭配：“长大、年岁增长”，和开头When I was young形成时间对比。stronger“更强壮”；younger“更小”；healthier“更健康”，和“兴趣改变”语境无关。 2．句意：事实上，当把我儿时的梦想和现在的目标做对比时，我看到一个清晰的改变。 固定搭配compare A with B“把A与B作比较”，with符合固定搭配。at/for/from均不符合语境。 3．句意：因为科技正在迅速改变世界，我想要在其中扮演一个角色。 根据常识可知，科技一直在改变世界，changing语义贴合。solving“解决”；reaching“到达”；connecting“连接”语义都和“世界”不搭配。 4．句意：为了实现这个目标，我制定了详细的计划。 achieve this goal/achieve the goal“实现目标”，固定表达。communicate“交流”；dream“梦想”；design“设计”均无此搭配。 5．句意：我会更加勤奋，因为这些科目是工科的基础。 even后必须加比较级；后文说要努力学数理计算机，对应more hard-working“更勤奋”。the most hard-working最高级，不能跟even；more outgoing“更外向”；the most energetic“最精力充沛”和学习备考语境不沾边。 6．句意：第二，我计划在我的空闲时间学习编程。 固定搭配in one’s spare time“在某人空闲时间”。busy“忙碌的”；lively“活泼的”；confident“自信的”都不构成固定短语。 7．句意：有时我可能会失败，感到失望。 失败之后自然会感到失望，disappointed“失望的”情绪逻辑匹配。relaxed“放松的”；interested“感兴趣的”；surprised“惊讶的”都不符合“失败”后的心情。 8．句意：父母提醒我要在学习中找到乐趣。 find pleasure in doing sth.“在做某事中找到乐趣”，此处指在学习中找到乐趣。humour“幽默”；difference“区别”；instruction“说明”不匹配固定搭配和语境。 9．句意：除了历史之外，我几乎喜欢每一门学科，但是我知道每一个都有自己的角色。 except表示“除……之外(不包含)”，符合句意，表示只是不喜欢历史。besides“除……之外还有(包含)”；without“没有”；instead“代替”逻辑不通。 10．句意：通过对比我长期以来的进步，我能看到自己已经走了多远，这给了我莫大的快乐。 此处指自己走了多远，How far“多远”符合语境；How long“多久/多长”；How many“多少”；How old“多大年龄”都不符合抽象“成长进步距离”的含义。 Passage 2 Do you know what it’s like to be a wildlife photographer (摄影师)? Roxy shares something about her work. It’s a new day. Roxy starts her work with her helper in a forest. Today her job is to look for jaguars (美洲虎) and take pictures of them. It’s not easy. She has to walk and watch quietly. Roxy loves her job and would like to spend time on it. Her patience gets good results. She sees a jaguar sleeping in a tree. But it looks like the jaguar won’t open its eyes soon. The jaguar is very beautiful while it’s sleeping, but it’s not the best picture for Roxy. So Roxy and her helper keep looking for more jaguars instead of waiting. Guess what? Roxy really finds more jaguars. And she gets some excellent pictures of them. In these pictures, we can see a jaguar walking by the water, a jaguar swimming and even a big jaguar yawning (打哈欠). Being a wildlife photographer is a really interesting job. Roxy’s story shows us that it can be fun and exciting. It takes a lot of hard work, but she really enjoys it. 1．Where does Roxy start her work today? A．In a zoo. B．In a park. C．In a forest. D．In a school. 2．What does the underlined word mean in Chinese in Paragraph 3? A．练习 B．策略 C．实验 D．耐心 3．Why does Roxy stop taking pictures of the sleeping jaguar? A．The jaguar is too far away. B．Roxy is afraid of the jaguar. C．The picture isn’t perfect. D．Roxy has no time to wait. 4．Which are the best pictures for Roxy? a. b. c. d. A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．acd 5．What is the purpose (目的) of the reading? A．To teach us how to take photos. B．To show us an amazing animal. C．To tell us about an interesting job. D．To give us advice on how to save animals. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了野生动物摄影师Roxy的工作经历，讲述这份工作有趣和令人兴奋，需要付出很多努力，但她真的很喜欢。 1．根据第二段“It’s a new day. Roxy starts her work with her helper in a forest.”可知，是在森林里。 2．根据“Roxy loves her job and would like to spend time on it. Her patience gets good results. She sees a jaguar sleeping in a tree. But it looks like the jaguar won’t open its eyes soon. The jaguar is very beautiful while it’s sleeping, but it’s not the best picture for Roxy. So Roxy and her helper keep looking for more jaguars instead of waiting.”可知，Roxy需要安静行走等待拍摄机会，这份特质帮她获得了好的拍摄成果。这里划线单词“patience”意为“耐心”。 3．根据第三段“The jaguar is very beautiful while it’s sleeping, but it’s not the best picture for Roxy.”可知，Roxy不拍摄这只睡觉的美洲虎，是因为这张照片不够完美，不符合她的要求。 4．根据第四段“In these pictures, we can see a jaguar walking by the water, a jaguar swimming and even a big jaguar yawning (打哈欠).”可知，Roxy拍到的满意照片是：美洲虎在水边行走、美洲虎游泳、美洲虎打哈欠，符合要求的是acd。 5．根据最后一段“Being a wildlife photographer is a really interesting job. Roxy’s story shows us that it can be fun and exciting. It takes a lot of hard work, but she really enjoys it.”可知，目的是告诉我们一份有趣的工作。 Passage 3 What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Few will put a pair of scissors in them. But for Shi Qinling, scissors are always with her everywhere she goes. Shi is a paper-cutting artist. She took an interest in paper-cutting when she was a child. At that time, she often played with paper, cutting it into different shapes. This interest later became a great love for paper-cutting.
