There are many kinds of work. People do different things in their work. We talked to three young people about their careers (职业). Read about them.
Jane, 22: I’m a travel agent (代理人). I plan vacations for different kinds of people. I need to buy plane tickets, book hotel rooms and make travel plans. I pay attention to the needs of my customers and help solve their travel problems. I really like the working hours from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm every day. And I can buy plane tickets at very low prices.
Grace, 24: I sell electronics (电子产品) in a store. I help people make decisions about choosing and buying electronics. I need to know clearly about the information of each product in our store. I’m a fan of technology, so I think it’s always interesting to learn about new electronics. Sometimes I have to work late at night, but I still enjoy my work. And they pay me very well.
Mike, 25: I’m a website designer (设计师). I make websites for different companies. To make a website for a company, I learn about the company and its needs first. I write down some ideas. After that, I talk to people at the company again to improve my design. Then I complete the website. I like to create new things. I feel so happy when I see the results of my work. Also, I work on my computer at home. This means I can decide my own working hours and have more time with my family.
1.1.What does Jane do for different kinds of people?
A She repairs computers.
B She plans vacations.
C She writes books.
D She does housework
解析:选B。B细节理解题。根据原文Jane部分“I plan vacations for different kinds of people”,直接定位Jane的工作内容是“为不同的人规划假期”,A(修电脑)、C(写书)、D(做家务)均与原文无关,故选B。
2.2.What is always interesting for Grace?
A To work very late at night.
B To learn about new electronics
C To have more time with her family.
D To help people solve travel problems.
解析:选B。B细节理解题。原文Grace提到“I’m a fan of technology, so I think it’s always interesting to learn about new electronics”,明确“学习新电子产品”对她来说总是有趣的,A(熬夜工作)是工作情况而非兴趣点,C(多陪家人)是Mike的优势,D(解决旅行问题)是Jane的工作,故选B。
3.3.What is the right order for Mike to make a website for a company? a. Write down some ideas b. Finish making the website. c. Learn about the company and its needs. d. Communicate with people at the company again.
A a-b-c-d
B a-c-d-b
C c-b-a-d
D c-a-d-b
解析:选D。D细节理解题。根据Mike制作网站的步骤描述“learn about the company and its needs first → write down some ideas → talk to people at the company again → complete the website”,对应选项顺序为c(了解公司及需求)-a(记录想法)-d(再次沟通)-b(完成网站),其他选项顺序均与原文流程不符,故选D。
4.4.We can learn from the passage that the three young people all ________.
A sell electronics
B make little money
C enjoy their work
D create new technology
解析:选C。C推理判断题。Jane说“I really like the working hours”,Grace提到“I still enjoy my work”,Mike表示“I feel so happy when I see the results of my work”,三人都表达了对工作的喜爱,A(卖电子产品)仅Grace符合,B(赚钱少)与Grace“they pay me very well”矛盾,D(创造新技术)仅Mike的工作涉及,故选C。
5.5.This passage mainly helps people ________.
A decide their working hours
B learn about different work
C find a company to work for
D become fans of technology
解析:选B。B主旨大意题。文章开头点明“There are many kinds of work”,随后通过三位年轻人的访谈介绍了旅行代理人、电子产品销售员、网站设计师的工作内容,核心是让读者了解不同的职业,A(决定工作时间)、C(找工作的公司)、D(成为科技爱好者)均非文章核心目的,故选B。
