Are you worried that nobody can take nice photos for you when you are travelling? At this time, you can turn to “travel-along photographers”.
1 Because of the development of the travel market, “travel-along photographers” have grown in popularity.
Rui Changchang is one of the “travel-along photographers” in Universal Studios (环球影城) in Beijing. “You can see families, couples, and friends here all the time,” Rui said. Every day, Rui takes photos of them. 2 “Whenever I ask parents to look at their kids instead of the camera, I could always see the light in their eyes.”
Rui said that it may be easy for people to begin a job like his in the beginning. 3 “As long as I continue to meet new people, take on new challenges, and learn new skills, the number of my customers (顾客) will increase.”
In our life, most people used to deal with photographers only during events like weddings or meetings, but things have changed. 4 Travel-along photographers, for example, just offer a more enjoyable experience to people. “There’s always someone who needs us,” Rui said.
Rui has got lots of happiness as a travel-along photographer. He used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities (名人), but he didn’t feel the happiness that photography should create. Now, Rui spends most of his time at Universal Studios. 5
A.Now people see it more as a hobby, not a job.
B.Photography can appear in people’s everyday lives.
C.He feels satisfied when helping strangers record their happy moments.
D.He believes connections between people are what make his photos touching.
E.However, they must find a way to improve their work after doing it for a while.

Choosing a career isn’t always easy, but there is still some advice to help make up your mind.
Don’t let other people decide what you should do.
Sometimes adults may want you to become a doctor or a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 1
Consider what you are good at.
It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important, but don’t let them lead you down the wrong path (道路). Follow your heart and your personality. 2 If you don’t like work which needs lots of attention to detail, think long and hard before you decide to do something like applying to study engineering at university.
Your first decision isn’t forever.
3 They start a job, love it straight away and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that. So you are allowed to change your mind. Maybe your first job doesn’t turn out to be suitable (适合的) for you. Maybe the right job for you is right around the corner!
4
Generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. It doesn’t have to be charity work. 5 Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.
A.Do something of value.
B.It could be a job that helps people around you.
C.Asking for experts’ advice is helpful.
D.So be sure that you are the one who makes that decision.
E.Only a small number of people get it right the first time.
F.If you are very active, don’t choose an office job, even if the pay is good.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了关于如何选择职业的一些建议,包括自己做决定、考虑擅长之处、第一份工作并非永恒以及做有价值的事情等。
1.前文讲“听成年人的建议,但记住这是你的人生和决定”,D项“So be sure that you are the one who makes that decision.”承接前文,强调自主决策的重要性。
2.前文讲“跟随内心和性格”,后文举例“不喜欢细节工作就别选工程专业”,F项“If you are very active, don’t choose an office job, even if the pay is good.”通过具体例子说明性格与职业的匹配,呼应前文“性格”的建议。
3.前文讲“第一份职业选择并非永恒”,后文讲“有人一开始就选对并坚持,但并非总是如此”,E项“Only a small number of people get it right the first time.”解释“并非永恒”的原因,衔接后文的情况。
4.后文讲“做对他人有价值的事能获得更多满足感”,A项“Do something of value.”点明该段主题,呼应后文的“有价值”内容。
5.前文讲“不一定是慈善工作”,B项“It could be a job that helps people around you.”补充说明“有价值的事”的具体形式,衔接前文。
Finding your career interests isn’t always easy. However, you can try some ways to choose a job you might like. Here is some advice to help you:
Think about your hobbies

Take an online survey
2 They ask you questions about the work activities you enjoy, and then suggest jobs based on your answers.
Do research about different careers
After choosing a few jobs, you can research them. 3 This will help you decide if you really want to do it.
4
If you still don’t know what job to choose, ask your family and friends. They know you well and may give you new ideas. But remember, don’t let others’ opinions influence your decision too much.
Try it out
The best way is to try the job and see if you like it. 5 For example, you could take a part-time job at your local newspaper to get some experience.
A.Find out what skills are needed, what the work is like, how much it pays, and what education you need.
B.You won’t know until you try.
C.For example, if you like making cards, you could start a business selling your handmade works.
D.Ask family and friends for advice
E.Online surveys can also help you.
F.It’s important to set clear career goals early.

2.本空为段落首句,需概括该段主题。后文提及“遇到困难时可以打电话给他”“帮助人们安全过马路”“保护社区安全”,这些职责对应警察。B项“警察是一名日常英雄”直接点明主题,且后文人称“him”与之呼应。
3.空格前讲述消防员帮助脱离危险(如救出着火建筑中的人),空格后讲述“他还教我们如何保持安全”。F项“他帮助人们理解安全的重要性”在语义上承接前文的救人行为,并自然过渡到后文的安全教育,构成递进关系。

Everyone has a dream. What role does a dream play in our life?
When I was young, my dream was to be a fireman. I dreamed of saving people from dangerous fires. 1
For years, I held on to this dream. It gave me a lot of hope and excitement every day. But when I got older, I had another dream. 2 My father teaches in a university. 3 So his students all love and respect him very much. I really admire (敬佩) him, too. So that’s why I am a teacher now. This job brings me so much happiness and meaning. I enjoy every minute when I stay with students. 4 I never regret giving up my dream to be a fireman.
Life doesn’t always give us the joys we want. 5 It doesn’t matter whatever our dreams are. If we actively pursue (追求) them, we will move closer to our dreams. If we stick to what we like to do, we can build ourselves better. That is the most important thing to us.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Maybe you will say a doctor, a cook or a scientist. 1 But it is not impossible. Follow these!
Think about what you really like.
The dream job should be what you really want most. Some jobs can help you make much money, but you might not like any of them. 2

Joe had been working at a bookstore for four months. Although four months might seem like a long time, Joe felt like it had been only one month since he was hired. 1 He couldn’t believe he got hired on the day of his interview. Joe felt grateful that he worked where he was. He loved to brag about his job to his friends and family.
2 His favorite author was Mark Twain. Joe’s most beloved book was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Working at a bookstore not only gave Joe a chance to read books, but allowed him to interact with other fellow book lovers. Joe often would recommend books to customers, and customers would do the same for Joe. Every now and then, he would come across classic books and want to take them home to read. 3 It was difficult to decide which book to take sometimes.
Joe was getting paid three hundred dollars every two weeks. Sometimes it would surpass this amount when he worked overtime. 4 Buying a car was the main reason why Joe wanted to start working. He began shopping online for used vehicles.
Joe already knew which kind of car he wanted. He had first seen a picture of it in a magazine, and he had dreamed of owning one of his very own. His dream car was a 1984 BMW. 5 He would search on the Internet until he finally found it. Joe could not believe it when he discovered a seller with the car.
A.Joe wanted a black one with two doors.
B.Joe loved reading books in his spare time.
C.Working at a bookstore was a dream job for Joe.
D.Joe liked buying books written by American writers.
E.Joe’s manager allowed him one book for free once a week.

Graduation day is a major accomplishment for anyone in high school. After spending your whole life in classrooms, though, what will be next? 1 For others, it is the next step in their education. And the few that are not sure either way yet will most likely either go on to college or go into the military. There are always a few people in every graduating class that don’t know what to do. 2
Some of those people that decide that they never want to see a classroom again will most likely take up some sort of simple jobs. Others will either find a way aside from school to better themselves, either through travel or giving back to the community.
High school graduates that already have their futures planned out are pretty rare. 3 . They most likely applied early to the schools that they were interested in and have already dedicated themselves to the career that they want. Most of them will become doctors, lawyers, and business people, etc.
4 It is the students who only know that they want to do something but have no idea what. Some of them will join the military and proudly serve our country. Others will go on to college, take basic courses, and then decide what they want to major in. 5 Graduation is a stepping stone that can lead you on to better things if you will let it.
A.The last group of people is the biggest.
B.Different students have different types of choices.
C.But if you make a good choice, you will not be one of them.
D.For some people, graduation is the last time they ever want to see a classroom again
E.They are the students who have been preparing for college from the first day that they entered high school.
F.There will be some students even going to a technical school to learn a specific skill that they can contribute to the workforce.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.E 4.A 5.F
【导语】本文围绕 “高中毕业后的不同去向” 展开,将学生分为三类:明确不想继续学业的、早已规划好未来的、只知道要做点什么却不确定方向的,逻辑层层递进。
1.前文以问句 “what will be next?” 引出 “毕业后的去向”,后文紧接着出现 “For others, it is the next step in their education.”,构成 “For some people... For others...” 的固定并列结构,分别对应 “不想再进教室的人” 和 “继续学业的人”,D选项以 “For some people” 开头,与后文的 “For others” 完美呼应。
2.前文提到 “there are always a few people in every graduating class that don’t know what to do”(总有学生对未来迷茫),后文则详细列举了这类迷茫学生的不同选择(做简单工作、旅行 / 回馈社区等),C选项以转折词 “But” 承接前文。
3.前文提到 “High school graduates that already have their futures planned out are pretty rare”(早已规划好未来的学生很少),后文描述这类学生的行为:“applied early to the schools... dedicated themselves to the career”(提前申请学校、为目标职业努力),E选项中的 “They” 直接指代前文 “已经规划好未来的学生”,解释了这类学生的特点 。
4.前文已经讲完 “明确不想继续学业的学生” 和 “早已规划好未来的学生” 两类,后文则引出新的群体:“It is the students who only know that they want to do something but have no idea what”(只知道要做点什么,却不确定方向的学生),A选项点明这是 “最后一类、也是人数最多的群体”。
5.前文列举了迷茫学生的去向:参军、上大学后再定专业,后文则是全文总结 “Graduation is a stepping stone...”(毕业是人生的垫脚石),F选项补充了迷茫学生的另一种去向 。

1 Because of the development of the travel market, “travel-along photographers” have grown in popularity.
Rui Changchang is one of the “travel-along photographers” in Universal Studios (环球影城) in Beijing. “You can see families, couples, and friends here all the time,” Rui said. Every day, Rui takes photos of them. 2 “Whenever I ask parents to look at their kids instead of the camera, I could always see the light in their eyes.”
Rui said that it may be easy for people to begin a job like his in the beginning. 3 “As long as I continue to meet new people, take on new challenges, and learn new skills, the number of my customers (顾客) will increase.”
In our life, most people used to deal with photographers only during events like weddings or meetings, but things have changed. 4 Travel-along photographers, for example, just offer a more enjoyable experience to people. “There’s always someone who needs us,” Rui said.
Rui has got lots of happiness as a travel-along photographer. He used to be a fashion photographer for celebrities (名人), but he didn’t feel the happiness that photography should create. Now, Rui spends most of his time at Universal Studios. 5

Sometimes adults may want you to become a doctor or a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 1
Consider what you are good at.
It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important, but don’t let them lead you down the wrong path (道路).
