I happened to sit next to Clay Parker, the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices.For the last few years, I'd been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasingly concerned that students are not prepared for today's workplace. Buried in book knowledge, university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours. However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned seems useless. So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of technical skills—especially since Parker is an engineer himself—but I was way off__the__mark.“First, I look for someone who asks good questions，”Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can't teach them how to ask good questions—how to think. The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality.”Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today's workplace. It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with the problem solving ability in the minds of most employers.The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much emphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question. We teachers are always blaming the studentsfor giving wrong answers. Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions.1．Why did the author ask Parker the question?A.To bring the CEO's attention to education.B.To collect information about his company.C.To ask for his opinion about the conference.D.To know his requirements for new employees.2．What does the underlined wo rds “off the mark” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Mistaken. B．Not qualified.C.Confused. D．Not professional.3．What does Parker value his employees for?A．Teamwork.B.Thinking ability.C．Technical skills.D.Professional knowledge.4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How to Hunt for a JobB.Asking Questions MattersC.An Encounter with a CEOD.Problem­solving Makes a DifferenceB[2022·广州市普通高中综合测试]What makes people so special? Tool use, self­consciousness, language, and culture are hi gh on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as the human's exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.Among the invertebrates, octopuses (章鱼) are known for their intelligence, evenexhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large­brained, long­living, social­group­based predators, and it is h ere that we find the greatest similarity to human­like culture and awareness.Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families—grandmother, mother, and daughter—all feeding in this highly specialized way.Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.5．The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they ________．A.are not easy to foolB.prefer fruit to vegetablesC.have a special taste for foodD.have an awareness of equality6．What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?A.Social interaction.B.Intelligence.C.Tool­using ability.D.Fun­loving spirits.7．What makes dolphin culture special?A.They tend to hunt in groups.B.Their hunting skills are passed down.C.Their learning environment is favourable.D.Their families are typically female­controlled.8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.B．Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18­month­old human baby.C．Dolphins are as generally regarded as the most advanced non­human specie s.D．Dolphins' ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher­order mental skill.Ⅱ.七选五[2022·苏北新高考适应性考试]Many hear endlessly how good exercise is for our health, but you might be surprised to know just how good. __1__It helps you breathe better.Frequent exercise improves the volume of oxygen you can use in your body.

高考英语专题练习（二十三）语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读Ⅱ．阅读理解（2014·黑龙江鹤岗一中模拟）People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents, according to the new research from the University of Michigan.Workers who are job-oriented are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Career-oriented adults — your typical “workaholic” — value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much of their identity from their jobs. Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but career-determined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation. The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job-orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they've been raised to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the case of calling-oriented children. As our society favors money and professional achievement, a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.Children can affect their parents' work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity—and could help raise that next generation of career-oriented workers. 1．If you are proud of being a teacher, and you are enthusiastic about your job, you belong to ________.A．the job-oriented groupB．the career-oriented groupC．the workaholic groupD．the calling-oriented group2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Children valuing their parents' career-orientation will be career-oriented.B．Fathers have a greater influence than mothers on teenagers' attitude towards jobs.C．Calling-oriented mothers have little effect on their children's work orientation.D．Children's attitudes towards jobs aren't related to parents'.3．What does the underlined word “amplified” in Paragraph 6mean?A．Enough.B．Increased.C．Decreased.D．Strong.4．What is the attitude of the child with two calling-oriented parents towards the social pressure?A．He takes no notice of it.B．He thinks too highly of it.C．He looks on it as a difficulty.D．He considers it confusing.Ⅲ．任务型阅读（2014·银川质检） 1 It makes people suffer a lot from it. Why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get. 2When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. 3 You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.4 In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. 5 There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. So you should trust the function of your body.A．Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one.B．Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.C．How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?D．Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.E．Different people do different things to deal with colds.F．The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold.G．It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读答案Ⅰ．A1．for2．to buy3．was waiting4．how5．amazement 6．her7．when/as8．the9．best10．whichB1．if/whether2．to3．collecting/to collect4．Out5．Interested 6．they7．have been collecting8．roughly / appropriately 9．which10．countriesⅡ．1~4．DBBAⅢ．1～5．GADEB语法填空＋阅读理解＋任务型阅读解析Ⅰ．A1．解析:for考查介词.由语境可知,此处应用for表示目的.我在购买我做志愿者工作所需的物品.2．解析:to buy考查非谓语动词.此处为不定式作目的状语.3．解析:was waiting考查时态.由语境可知,此处描述的是当时正在发生的事,所以用过去进行时.4．解析:how考查宾语从句的引导词.由语境判断应用how.此处表示“挨着我的那位女士接近我,想知道我将如何吃掉我买的这一大盒豆腐”.5．解析:amazement考查词性转换.此处是“to one's＋名词”结构,故空格处应用amaze的名词形式,to my amazement“使我大为惊奇的是”.6．解析:her考查代词.由设空特点看,此处需要限定词,再结合语境“she responded that she felt good. . . ”可推知应用her.7．解析:when/as考查从属连词.此处表示“当她的父母作为难民来到这个国家时”.8．解析:the考查冠词.由语境可知,此处特指当前这个付款的机会,因此用定冠词.9．解析:best考查形容词的最高级.由后面表示范围的定语从句“I had ever received for my voluntary work”可知此处应用最高级形式.10．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.此处which指代“my voluntary work”,并在定语从句中作主语.B1．解析:if/whether考查宾语从句的引导词.此处表示我想知道你是否可以告诉我一些关于你集邮的事情,故应填if/whether“是否”.2．解析:to考查动词不定式的省略.此处完整的句子应是“I'd be pleased to tell you something about my stamp-collecting. ”,动词不定式所表示的内容与上面相同,动词不定式省略到to.3．解析:collecting/to collect考查非谓语动词.start后接动词时要用动名词或者不定式.4．解析:out考查副词.work out表“计算,统计”之意,为固定短语,符合语境.5．解析:interested考查词性转换.be interested in表“对……感兴趣”之意,为固定搭配,符合语境.6．解析:they考查代词.此处指代“my first packet of stamps”,因此用they来代替.7．解析:have been collecting考查时态.依据时间状语可知,Gibbon这些年一直都在集邮,因此用现在完成进行时,表示动作的持续性.8．解析:roughly/appropriately考查语境.此处表示邮票的大约数目,因此用roughly/appropriately.9．解析:which考查定语从句的关系词.这里是引导非限制性定语从句,关系词代指the Penny Black,且在从句中作主语,因此用which.10．解析:countries考查名词单复数.此处country是可数名词,被these修饰,要用复数形式.Ⅰ．1．解析:选D推理判断题.从第二段最后一句“Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate aboutbecause they want to have a positive impact on the world. ”特别是“passionate”一词可知答案.2．解析:选B推理判断题.从第四段中的“People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but. . . work orientation. ”可知答案.3．解析:选B词义猜测题.从画线词后面的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to. . . ”可知,amplified意为“增加的”.4．解析:选A细节理解题.从第六段中的“a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams. ”可知答案.。
