And most journalists must have at least a bachelor’s degree in English, communication, or journalism. Education is 2 necessary stepping stone to learn about journalism and to help you get your first job with a newspaper, magazine, or other forms of media. Also, some schools 3 (support) you when you search for journalism jobs. While you are receiving your education, 4 is a good idea to get as much hands-on experience as you can. This means 5 (work) on your school’s newspaper or radio station and taking at least one internship (实习) during your years at school. Internships can be 6 (value) experience, and here are some useful suggestions. Leave a good 7 (impress) on others. Learn from experienced colleagues. Communicate 8 (effect) with other people. Write clearly and concisely. Always be prepared for the unexpected news and the ability to find a good story quickly is important 9 well. As you are completing your education and hands-on experience, you should be able to determine 10 becoming a journalist is the career path you want to take ahead of time. 【答案】 1．To become 2．a 3．will support 4．it 5．working 6．valuable 7．impression 8．effectively 9．as 10．whether/if 【导语】文章主要介绍了成为记者所需做的准备，给出了成为记者的具体步骤与实用建议。 1．考查非谓语动词。句意：要成为一名记者，第一步是接受教育。 本句已有谓语动词is，空格处作目的状语，表示“为了成为记者”，需要用动词不定式to become作目的状语，句首单词首字母需大写。 2．考查冠词。句意：教育是了解新闻业、帮助你获得在报社、杂志社或其他媒体形式的第一份工作的一块必要垫脚石。 句中stepping stone是可数名词单数，此处泛指“一块必要的垫脚石”，necessary以辅音音素开头，要用不定冠词a修饰。 3．考查时态。句意：此外，当你寻找新闻相关工作时，一些学校会为你提供支持。 本句是when引导的时间状语从句，从句用一般现在时表示将要发生的动作，主句要用一般将来时，用will support。 4．考查代词。句意：在你接受教育期间，尽可能积累更多实操经验是个不错的想法。 本句真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to get as much hands-on experience as you can，需要it作形式主语避免句子头重脚轻。 5．考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着你可以为学校的校报或广播站工作，并且在校期间至少参加一次实习。 mean doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“意味着做某事”，空处需填动名词working。 6．考查形容词。句意：实习可以成为非常有价值的经历，以下是一些有用的建议。 此处需要形容词修饰名词experience，value是名词，其形容词形式valuable意为“有价值的”。 7．考查名词。句意：给他人留下好印象。空前有不定冠词a和形容词good，此处需要填入可数名词单数，impress是动词，其名词形式为impression，leave a good impression on sb.是固定搭配，意为“给某人留下好印象”。 8．考查副词。句意：和他人有效地沟通。此处需要副词修饰动词communicate，effect是名词，其副词形式effectively意为“有效地”。 9．考查介词。句意：时刻为突发新闻做好准备，并且快速挖掘好新闻的能力也十分重要。as well是固定短语，意为“也”，空处需填as。 10．考查宾语从句。句意：在你完成学业和实操经验后，你就可以提前确定，成为记者是否是你想要选择的职业道路。 动词determine后接宾语从句，从句不缺成分，表示不确定的疑问含义“是否”，所以用连接词whether或者if引导。 六、阅读理解 （26-27高二上·黑龙江大庆·开学考试）When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don’t see anyone I know” or “please don’t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes, the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new. Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble? Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don’t have the courage to actually do in reality. Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us. Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring. But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every “hello” leads to a smile — and smile is worth a lot. 1．What do we learn about the author? A．He likes to be alone. B．He feels stressed out lately. C．He’s active in attending social events. D．He’s afraid of talking to others at times. 2．What’s the problem of Generation-Y in the author’s eyes? A．They rely on the Internet to socialize. B．They are less confident in themselves. C．They have difficulty in communicating. D．They are unwilling to make new friends. 3．Why do many young people avoid meeting new people? A．They think it troublesome. B．They are busy with their studies. C．They fear to disappoint their old friends. D．They want to take time to do meaningful work. 4．Why does the author write the passage? A．To tell about the importance of friends. B．To give tips on how to meet new people. C．To encourage people to meet new people. D．To introduce the disadvantages of Generation-Y. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】主要讲述当代年轻人惧怕和陌生人交谈的现象，呼吁大家主动结识新朋友。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes, the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.(我自己心里也有过这样的想法。有时候，你最不想做的事就是和别人交谈，尤其是陌生人。)”可知，作者有时也害怕和别人交谈。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation‑Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook.(以我们父母这一代人为例。他们充分践行“沟通”，成长过程中习惯面对面交流，而Y一代是盯着屏幕长大的。我们每天花数小时刷脸书。)”可知在作者看来，Y一代依靠网络进行社交。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble.(和陌生人交谈意味着要认同自己并不认同的观点，还要努力变成对方期待的样子，正如我之前所说，这是一件麻烦事。)”可知很多年轻人回避结识新人，是觉得这件事很麻烦。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every “hello” leads to a smile — and smile is worth a lot.(但是结识新朋友很重要。人生短暂，尽可能多去认识人，努力走出去欢笑。记住，每一声“你好”都会换来微笑，而微笑弥足珍贵。)”可推知，作者写作目的是鼓励人们结识新朋友。 七、七选五 （25-26高二下·浙江·阶段检测）Traveling on a budget feels like an increasingly impossible goal. 1 Thankfully, there is one trick that helps you travel cheaply: planning your trip during the “shoulder season”. Shoulder season is the transitional time between a destination’s high and low seasons. High season usually means the highest prices and crowded conditions. Low season means lower prices but often unpleasant weather, like monsoon season in Thailand. 2 During this time, it typically isn’t hot enough for short sleeves or cold enough for coats. Instead, it’s just cool enough to keep your shoulders covered. 3 First, it’s cheaper to fly. For example, a round-trip ticket from New York to Paris might peak at $1,075 in July but drop to $625 during the spring. Second, there are more hotel rooms available. More empty rooms mean more competitive prices and more choices. You might even get an upgraded room with a view that would otherwise be out of reach. Finally, you’ll encounter fewer crowds. Since kids are in school, popular destinations like theme parks and beaches are much quieter. Broadly speaking, shoulder season occurs during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). 4 In the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Australia or South Africa, the seasons are opposite. Therefore, their spring shoulder season happens from September to November, while the fall period is from March to May. Whether you’re heading out for a quick trip or an extended vacation, shoulder season offers a perfect balance. Remember to pack layers. 5 With a little planning, you can enjoy a dream vacation without breaking the bank. A．However, there are exceptions. B．Shoulder season is the happy medium. C．It usually brings out the best weather for sightseeing. D．The benefits of traveling during this time are significant. E．You can also use a flight price tracker to get even better rates. F．Airfare prices are climbing and hotels are charging expensive rates. G．Transitional weather means you might feel both warm and cool during your stay. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．G 【导语】文章主要介绍旅行平季的概念、诸多出行优势，说明南北半球平季时间差异，建议人们利用平季实现高性价比的旅行。 1．由上文“Traveling on a budget feels like an increasingly impossible goal.(精打细算去旅行似乎越来越难以实现)”及下文“Thankfully, there is one trick that helps you travel cheaply: planning your trip during the “shoulder season”.(幸运的是，有一个能帮你低成本旅行的技巧：在“平季”规划你的行程)”可知，上文点明低预算旅游变得很难，下文引出解决低成本旅行的方法，本空需要具体列举当下旅行成本攀升的现实表现。F选项“机票价格不断上涨，酒店也收取高昂的费用”能承接上文低预算旅游变难的现状，同时为下文引出解决办法做铺垫，符合语境。 2．由上文“High season usually means the highest prices and crowded conditions. Low season means lower prices but often unpleasant weather, like monsoon season in Thailand.(旺季通常意味着最高的价格和拥挤的环境，淡季意味着价格更低但往往天气不佳，比如泰国的雨季)”及下文“During this time, it typically isn’t hot enough for short sleeves or cold enough for coats. Instead, it’s just cool enough to keep your shoulders covered.(在这段时间里，天气通常不会热到穿短袖，也不会冷到穿外套。相反，凉爽到刚好可以披件外套护住肩膀)”可知，上文分别介绍了旺季和淡季的弊端，下文开始描述平季的天气特点，本空需要对平季的属性做总结定义。B选项“平季就是一个两全其美的折中选择”能承接旺季和淡季的不足，自然引出下文平季的特征描述，符合语境。 3．由下文“First, it’s cheaper to fly. For example, a round-trip ticket from New York to Paris might peak at $1,075 in July but drop to $625 during the spring. Second, there are more hotel rooms available. More empty rooms mean more competitive prices and more choices. You might even get an upgraded room with a view that would otherwise be out of reach. Finally, you’ll encounter fewer crowds. Since kids are in school, popular destinations like theme parks and beaches are much quieter.(首先，机票价格会更便宜。例如，纽约飞往巴黎的往返机票在7月可能高达1075美元，但到春季就会降至625美元。其次，可供选择的酒店客房更多。更多空房意味着价格竞争更激烈，选择也更丰富。你甚至有可能升级到景观房，若是在其他时节，这类房间是可望而不可即的。最后，你遇到的游客会更少。由于孩子们都在上学，主题公园、海滩这类热门景点会安静很多。)”可知，下文分三点详细列举了平季出行的各类优势，本空需要作为总起句引出这些好处。D选项“在这个时间段旅行的好处十分显著”能总领下文的三点优势说明，符合语境。 4．由上文“Broadly speaking, shoulder season occurs during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November).(广义来说，平季出现在春季3-5月和秋季9-11月)”及下文“In the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Australia or South Africa, the seasons are opposite.(在南半球，比如澳大利亚、南非，季节是相反的)”可知，上文给出了平季的通用时间范围，下文指出南半球的平季时间和通用规则不同，本空需要引出特殊情况的说明。A选项“然而，也存在例外情况”能承接北半球的通用平季时间，自然引出南半球的特殊规则，符合语境。 5．由上文“Remember to pack layers.(记得打包分层穿搭的衣物)”及下文“With a little planning, you can enjoy a dream vacation without breaking the bank.(稍加规划，你就能不用花大价钱享受一场理想的假期)”可知，上文提醒要带分层衣物，下文收尾总结平季出行的优势，本空需要解释为什么要带分层衣物，对应平季的过渡性天气特点。G选项“过渡性的天气意味着你在行程中可能同时感受到暖和和凉意”能承接上文打包分层衣物的提示，解释该建议的原因，符合语境。 （2026·北京·高考真题）The 21st century has created a whole range of new types of professionals that we have never had before — or if not quite new, at least newly repackaged. The world has always had influential people, for instance, but only now do we have “Influencer”. Similarly, the corporate world has certainly known its fair share of disruption, yet it is only in the last couple of decades that the “Disruptor” has become a recognisable figure in the way we talk about big business. In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.” Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it? When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one. Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days. What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken. 1．Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is _____________. A．supportive B．doubtful C．conflicted D．disappointed 2．What does the word “impetuous” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Short-sighted. B．Narrow-minded. C．Hot-headed. D．Old-fashioned. 3．What can we infer from this passage about the Disruptor? A．They may clear up other people’s mess. B．They are in favour of the preventive principle. C．They preserve more traditions than they break. D．They may create more problems than they solve. 4．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Humility should be a driving force for human progress. B．Innovation should move forward the wheel of tradition. C．Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom. D．Disruption should be given priority in social development. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】文章介绍了商业领域“颠覆者”这一新角色，借助Chesterton的栅栏思想实验，论述盲目颠覆的弊端，提出变革前应当先理解过往经验蕴含的智慧，倡导以谦卑心态理性创新。 1．推理判断题。根据第五段“Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition.(重要的是，Chesterton并不是说事物永远不能改革。他提出的是一种预防性原则，而非彻底禁止变革。)”以及第六段“What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive.(因此，我们需要的不是颠覆者的无所畏惧，而是停下来思考发问的谦卑之心，明白我们自身的看法既非独一无二，也并非面面俱到。)”可知，作者赞同Chesterton提出的原则。 2．词句猜测题。根据第五段“If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon.(如果我们太过impetuous，最终可能毁掉那些我们尚且没有意识到、却十分依赖的事物。)”可知，如果行事过于冲动草率，我们会毁掉那些自己尚未意识到、却十分依赖的事物，划线词“impetuous”表示“冲动的，鲁莽的”，与C选项“Hot-headed(冲动莽撞的)”含义一致。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段“The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem.(颠覆者强行推动变革，收拾残局却是别人的事。)”以及第六段“Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess.(颠覆或许能产生积极作用，但也可能只留下一堆烂摊子。)”可知，颠覆者只管打破现状，后续烂摊子交由别人处理，很可能制造出比解决掉的更多问题。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them.(我们可以这样概括：在否定过往决策之前，先领会其中蕴含的智慧。)”可知，全文核心观点是进行改革前，先要挖掘、借鉴过去决策中的智慧。 4 / 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Period 1 Topic Talk & Money vs Success 目 录 A组 巩固过关 B组 能力进阶 C组 思维拔高 拓展 链接高考 一、根据汉语提示写出英文单词 1. 乐观的 ________________ 2. 坚持不懈的，顽强的 ________________ 3. 宇航员 ________________ 4. 感激的，感谢的 ________________ 5. 内疚的，惭愧的 ________________ 6. 职业，事业 ________________ 7. 百万富翁 ________________ 8. 饥饿 ________________ 9. 家具 ________________ 10. 退出；辍学(短语) ________________ 二、根据句意及汉语提示写出单词 1.

In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.” Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it? When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one. Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days. What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken. 1．Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is _____________.
