选择性必修四　Unit 5　Launching Your Career

阅读语言点精讲导学案

长句取自 Reading“Working Out What You Want to Do”，例句与练习用武汉场景。

一、阅读里的四个长句

1. The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education.

主系表结构：The best time is while you are still at school。

to start thinking about possible careers 是不定式作后置定语，修饰 the best time，名词被最高级修饰时常这么用。

while 引导表语从句；before you make any choices… 是时间状语从句。

例句：The best time to start thinking about which career path suits you best is while you are still in your first year of senior high school, before you have to make any decisions about which subjects to take for the college entrance exam.

2. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant's overall work personality.

be used to do 是“被用来做某事”，别和 be used to doing（习惯于）、used to do（过去常常）混了。

that 引导定语从句修饰 a code，在从句中作主语；indicate 是“表明、显示”。overall 修饰 work personality，所有格修饰整个短语。

例句：The top three scores from the personality test are used to generate a code that indicates the participant's overall work style, which career counselors use to recommend suitable positions.

3. Some people know what they want to do from a young age, but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.

what they want to do 是 what 引导的宾语从句，作 know 的宾语。

have + 宾语 + 现在分词：have a few ideas bouncing around，分词说明 ideas 一直处于打转的状态，不是一次性动作。

but 并列两个分句，两个分句的主语不同：Some people … many others …。

例句：Some students know as early as junior high school that they want to become doctors or engineers, but many others just have a wide range of possible career options bouncing around in their heads without a clear preference.

4. Having this information will provide you with a better chance of finding a job you like.

Having this information 是动名词短语作主语，谓语用单数 will provide。

provide sb with sth 等于 provide sth for sb；a chance of doing 里 of 后接动名词；a job you like 是省略了 that/which 的定语从句。

例句：Having a clear understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses will provide you with a much better chance of finding a job in Optics Valley that matches both your academic background and your personal interests.
