参考范文
Dear Chris，
Learning that you are not sure how to choose your major in college and your future job，I
am writing sincerely to share with you my personal experience and some relevant suggestions.
The first time I was faced with such a matter，I was also very anxious and confused.As faras I am concerned，the golden rule for choosing a major in college is finding out what you have
passion for.Take me for example，not only am I eager to understand the secret to ecological
balance in nature but I am also fond of exploring the growth of rare wildlife.Consequently，
prior to making up your mind to choose a major and a future career，you’d better think over
with caution and take your interest and talent into account.
I do wish that the above suggestions I have put forward would make it easy for you to make
a wise decision.
Yours，
Li Hua

高考题型组合练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2024·浙江杭州模拟)
The brown paper bag hit the ground.A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it ，
revealing a cracked，leaking egg.The third graders at A．J.Whittenberg Elementary School were
disappointed when they saw the runny mess.
It was engineering week at A．J.Whittenberg，a public primary school in Greenville，South
Carolina.One week per month，engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to
students about their careers.
Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and
giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools.Each primary
school focuses on a specific technical skill.The district allows students to attend schools outside of
their attendance boundaries as long as space is available，which means students can choose to
continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs.
The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner
with local industries to develop curriculum(课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a
young age.
Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools
taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses，like training workers for specific job
duties，damaging a more comprehensive education in schools.“Schools are to not just prepare
people for work and strengthen the economy，but also a place where students should experience
art，music and think creatively，” said Jack Schneider，a professor of education at the
University of Massachusetts.
A teacher from Greenville，however，said，“Career exposure has a big impact on
kids.We’re not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I’m in the second grade and now
I’m locked into being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope
students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.”
Modern times need modern solutions.When students leave school，they need to be already
down their road to college，if that’s what they’re going to do，or schools need to give them
something that allows them to get to work and earn a living.Just getting out with a high school
degree doesn’t do that.
1．Why were the third graders disappointed?
A．Their test failed.
B．The bag missed the target.
C．Engineers disturbed them.
D．They had to clean the ground.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段“The brown paper bag hit the ground...when they saw therunny mess.”可推知，三年级学生失望是因为鸡蛋破裂代表他们的实验失败了。故选A。
2．What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path?
A．Design more career paths.
B．Invite engineers to their schools.
C．Adopt the open enrollment policy.
D．Offer more courses for them to choose.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The district allows students to attend schools outside...at a
middle school with corresponding programs.”可知，格林维尔采用开放的招生政策来帮助学生
在中学阶段继续走自己选择的道路。故选C。
3．What is Jack Schneider concerned about?
A．People’s employment.
B．Students’ overall development.
C．The nation’s economy.
D．The school’s innovative education.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘Schools are to not just prepare people for work and
strengthen the economy，but also a place where students should experience art，music and think
creatively ， ’ said Jack Schneider ， a professor of education at the University of
Massachusetts.”可知，Jack Schneider关心学生们的全面发展。故选B。
4．Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A．Modern solutions are hard to find.
B．More students need college education.
C．Greenville’s practice is not acceptable.
D．A high school degree is not enough for jobs.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When students leave school，they need...Just getting out
with a high school degree doesn’t do that.”可知，作者认为高中学历并不足以让学生们工作
和谋生。故选D。
B
People generally feel secure with certainty.To be certain is to have power and control.Certainty
is often used as a metric(衡量标准) of value，shaping how people view themselves and others.For
example，people tend to respect those who present themselves as certain while viewing those who
express uncertainty as wishy-washy，and untrustworthy.Young people growing up in a culture that
identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure，right，and good.It isthe idea，more than uncertainty itself，that causes great anxiety.
But the reality is that certainty is transient；it is more a feeling than a fact.Too often people
act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick，clear，definitive，and rigid.But they
are not.They are actually drawn with pencil—ready for revision，editing，and change.
Spring tide’s recent report ，The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating
Uncertainty，allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly
rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another.Milly，a 25-year-old quoted
in the report，described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed
rather than criticized：
“Like，struggling to know what or what not to believe...That’s something we talked about
in the group.It actually makes me feel a little bit better.It’s like，oh，like we can have doubts.We
can struggle with these feelings and they’re still，we’re still accepted，you know? So that was
actually kind of refreshing”．
Young people are not rejecting certainty，but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or
one-dimensional solutions.They are reexamining pre-drawn labels，beliefs，and identities and
daring to ask “Why？” Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and
rediscover uncertainty.We can listen to and learn from young people，embracing(拥抱) this
opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth.If we will accept uncertainties，we
might discover the ways that multiple beliefs，practices，values，identities，and communities
can coexist and develop together.
5．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To explain a concept.
B．To advocate a culture.
C．To introduce an opinion.
D．To confirm an assumption.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。通读第一段尤其是其中的“People generally feel secure with
certainty...For example，people tend to respect those...as wishy-washy，and untrustworthy.”可知，

Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·江苏徐州模拟)
You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and the unavoidable question many
people will ask you is，“So，what do you want to be？” 1 But many of you still don’t
have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider.
First，does the career you are considering have staying power? Will it be in demand in 20
years? Rapid technological change is disruptive(破坏性的)． 2 While many occupations are
being taken over by new technology，jobs that require high-level of critical thinking，emotional
intelligence and human interaction，remain in high demand.These jobs are more adaptable and not
easily replaced by machines or technology.
Second，choose a career that interests you.Some people might think this is unimportant，but
if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore.It’s
also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.Before making a choice，you should examine
your values，skills and personality type. 3
Third，of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power!
Although high pay plays a part，you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require
more time to get to the top，much more effort and a higher level of stress. 4 If you have
interests outside of work，or are struggling with other demands in your life，you might want to
choose a less taxing line of work.
5 Let me leave you with an old saying: “Choose a job you love，and you will neverhave to work a day in your life.”
A．You need to be forward-looking at your future prospects.
B．Some of you may have already decided on a career path.
C．Trying different work can help you find out your favorite job.
D．This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.
E．Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges.
F．People’s wages are lower in industries with slow technological change.
G．Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely challenging.
1．答案 B
解析 根据下文“But many of you still don’t have a clue！”中But可知，上下文有转折关
系，B项讲有些人可能已经决定了职业道路，与下文“很多人仍然不知道”构成转折，且照
应前文的问题“what do you want to be？”，上下文语意连贯。故选B。
2．答案 A
解析 上文“First，does the career you are considering have staying power? Will it be in demand
in 20 years? Rapid technological change is disruptive(破坏性的)．”提出技术变革会改变职业
要考虑未来的可能性，A项承接上文，提出要展望职业前景，其中“future prospects”与上
文“in 20 years”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选A。
3．答案 D
解析 上文“Before making a choice，you should examine your values，skills and personality
type.”提出选择职业前要进行自我评估，D项承接上文，说明这样做的作用，其中“This”
指代上文中“examine your values，skills and personality type”，上下文语意连贯。故选D。
4．答案 E
解析 上文“you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to
the top，much more effort and a higher level of stress”提出与高薪相伴的是更多的付出与挑战，
E项承接上文，说明真正积极的人才能面对这些挑战，句中“these challenges”指代上文
“require more time to get to the top，much more effort and a higher level of stress”。故选E。
5．答案 G
解析 设空句是末段首句，上文介绍了选择职业时的注意事项，G项指出在学生时期考虑一
生的事业是具有挑战性的，下一句用一句谚语给出指导，从而实现了对全文的总结。故选
G。

的调查结果写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：
1．状况描述；
2．简单评论；
3．你的建议。
范文补全
A recent survey regarding After-school Activities was conducted in our school.
1．As can be seen from the pie chart(正如可以从饼状图中看到的那样)，the majority of the
students surveyed，about 56%，tended to do homework after school.By contrast,2.playing
computer games ， doing sports and reading books proved to be less popular (玩电脑游戏、做运动
和看书被证明不那么受欢迎)，accounting for 22%,13% and 9% respectively.
3． In my view ， the trend mentioned above is basically due to the mounting pressure (在我看
来，上面提到的趋势主要是由于增长的压力).4.To help students get fully developed(为了帮助
学生们全面发展)，it’s sensible to balance study and relaxation—workout and book-reading
should be given priority while less time should be spent on screens.Plus,5.more diverse extra-
curricular activities should be provided(应该提供更多种类的课外活动) to cater to different
interests and talents.
