   Module 2

  Ⅰ.阅读理解

  (2015·江西六校联考)

  “When I grow up, I want to be...”

  Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.

  However, it seems career options aren't only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the U.K. in May 2011 by job website monster.co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among U.K. teenagers aged between 13 and 17.

  Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high­profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.

  It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the U.K. tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.

  However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens' survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs—coffee shop owner, gourmet (美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurant—are among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.

  With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

  语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了青少年心中最理想的职业。所有的职业生涯道路需要特殊的教育和培训,我们对自己的特长既要客观现实又要乐观自信。

  1.What is the passage mainly about?

  A.Choosing a good job is very important.

  B.Careers in teenagers' mind.

  C.Teenagers in the U.K. like doctors.

  D.The choice of career needs challenge.

  答案:A 主旨大意题。本文是围绕“青少年心中最理想的职业”展开论述的,故选A项。

  2.According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor EXCEPT ________.

  A.respect from others B.upward social mobility

  C.high pay D.the oldest profession

  答案:D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句中关键词“...the most esteemed members of society, make good money, a sign of upward social mobility.”可知,A、B、C三项提到了,D项在文中没提到。

  3.What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?

  A.Prestige. B.Fulfillment.

  C.Happiness. D.Wealth.

  答案:D 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.”可知,财富正日益成为判断成功职业的最重要指标。故选D项。

  4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

  A.According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.

  B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.

  C.Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

  D.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.

  答案:C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“...you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills...”可知,无论从事什么职业,我们对自己的特长既要客观现实又要乐观自信。故选C项。

  Ⅱ.七选五

  根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

  Tips to Become More Confident

  Our confidence plays an important role in the ability to achieve success and happiness. It affects our thought patterns, the way we speak and act, and the decisions we make in all areas of our lives. Confident people take more action, perform better, and are more likely to achieve their goals. __1__ Lucky for us, confidence can be built and strengthened until it becomes natural, just as any other habit. It simply takes a little time, some effort, and a bit of attention.

  ●Learn.

  The more knowledge you acquire, the more confident you will be. Knowledge is power, and the more powerful you feel, the higher your confidence will be.

  ●__2__

  Keep a list of successes, big and small. It'll help you to see your abilities in a more positive and realistic light.

  ●Start a conversation.

  When you find yourself in a social situation, don't always turn to those who you're comfortable with.__3__ Eventually getting to know new people will become easier.

  ●Don't compare.

  Stop measuring yourself against others. __4__Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.

  Confidence helps you to be more secure in your abilities and more positive in your attitude. It also encourages you to be more assertive (坚定自信的)to take up more challenges, and to improve your skills. __5__ The end result is a better outlook, more success, and a higher quality of life in all areas.

  A.As an added benefit, you'll attract like­minded people.

  B.Track your accomplishments.

  C.The results you get aren't always real.

  D.It may only do harm to them.

  E.List your super abilities.

  F.What's more, confident people can take more joy from their accomplishments.

  G.Talk to someone you don't know very well.

  语篇解读:文章就如何变得更加自信给出了一些建议。

  1.F F项与该空前一句“Confident people...their goals”一致,都是在介绍自信的人的表现,故选F。

  2.B B项与该空后的“Keep a list of successes”一致。

  3.G G项与该空前的“don't always turn to those who you're comfortable with”及空后的“getting to know new people”一致。

  4.C 根据空前句子的大意“不要把自己跟其他人做比较”以及空后的“Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.”可知,C项“你得到的结果不总是真实的”符合语境。

  5.A 空前已经列出了自信的一系列“好处”,空后概括了自信的最终结果,故可推测该空也应为自信的好处,故选A。

  Ⅲ.完形填空

  .语法填空

  阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

  Last weekend as I was riding in the bike lane alongside the truck, we reached a crossing and it turned to the right, __1__(hit) me and my bicycle. Even more upsetting was the fact __2__ the driver didn't stop afterward. __3__, I was not injured and my bicycle was damaged, but still usable.

  Even days later I reported the event to the police, they failed to __4__(proper) solve this situation or even return my calls. Eventually, I decided __5__(contact) University Student Legal Services for help about this matter. The small damage may not seem worth all __6__ trouble, but what if I had been seriously __7__(injure)? Will anyone see punishment for breaking traffic laws and damaging my property?

  Unfortunately, my experience is common, and __8__(accident)between bikes and cars occur far too often. A comprehensive study __9__(report) that of the nearly 3 000 cyclist­motorist crashes that occurred between 2000 and 2010 about 20 percent were hit­and­runs.

  Bicycles are held to the same standards as motor vehicles in most cases. __10__ means that cyclists must obey all traffic rules, and also have the right to get damages in the accidents. I urge both cyclists and motorists to become familiar with their rights and duties when sharing the roads.

  1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______

  6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______

  语篇解读:作者在骑自行车时不幸与一辆卡车发生了碰撞,通过这件事,作者提醒骑自行车的人和开车的司机要关注自己和他人的人身安全。

  1.hitting 考查非谓语动词。卡车向右拐,结果撞到了我和我的自行车,此处是现在分词短语作结果状语。

  2.that 考查从句连接词。that在此引导同位语从句,从句解释说明fact的具体内容,从句不缺少成分,因此用that引导。

  3.Thankfully/Luckily/Fortunately 考查行文逻辑。前文提及作者遭遇了车祸,后文提及没受伤,自然很幸运。

  4.properly 考查副词。solve是实义动词,要用副词修饰。

  5.to contact 考查非谓语动词。decide后接动词不定式作宾语。

  6.the 考查冠词。此处表达“费这种麻烦”,为特指,用定冠词the。

  7.injured。考查动词的语态。作者应该是受重伤,故应该用被动语态。

  8.accidents 考查名词。后面的occur一词暗示了主语是复数形式。

  9.reported 考查时态。由occurred和were可知研究报道的是过去的事情,故用一般过去时态。

  10.This/It 考查代词。此处是代指上文提及的“Bicycles are held to the same standards as motor vehicles in most cases.”这件事,故此处用this或者it指代。
