4.If you're locking into your career plans,college counselor Nancy has three words for you:Don't do it.Actually,Nancy isn't the only counselor advising students to take their time in discovering who they are and what they want to do when they get out of college.
"Preparing broadly makes sense to me,"she explains,"and that the best preparation for a future that is still unfolding,is a broad preparation.It shouldn't prevent you from following areas that light you up,but a broad preparation will prepare you for multiple careers."That's important because jobs change more frequently due to changes in technology and business competition.Some jobs that are available today may be on their way out in 10 years."The best thing about preparing broadly is that you get to live in a big world,"says Nancy."You avoid getting stuck in a job or business area,and if your job becomes out of date,you can move on."
    Many students make the mistake of working on"the next step in front of them,"avoiding time to explore their interests or reflect on what they're learning about themselves.For example,students will look at a college and try to figure out what the college is looking for in a student.Then they try to remake themselves into that student,even though it might go against who they really are.
    Students let the"next-step mentality"hold back their learning as well.Many students don't take courses outside their comfort zone for fear it will ruin their GPA(平均成绩) and their chances of getting into a certain college."You may be unwilling to go outside your areas of strength for fear you'll get a low grade,"says Nancy."But if you think one grade in one class will ruin your chances of admission,you're doing harm to yourself.Colleges look at a number of factors in addition to grades.Students often think requirements of colleges are much stricter and narrower than they really are."
    Since colleges work to admit a diverse group of students,the best thing to do is be yourself and explore your options.There are many people in their late 20s who are unhappy in their careers and who regret that they didn't pursue a wider range of interests while in college.

32.Nancy's advice is based onC.
A.Rising unemployment   B.Strict college requirements
C.A fast-changing job market   D.A lower academic performance
33.What does the underlined phrase"comfort zone"in Paragraph 4 refer to?D
A.Their career plans.B.Their favorite courses.
C.The jobs they dream of.D.The subjects they are good at.
34.According to the text,which of the following is a"next-step mentality"?A
A.Studying to meet a certain job requirements when in college.
B.Spending time exploring interests while learning.
C.Taking new courses in varied fields.
D.Reading all types of books.
35.Who will probably find the text most helpful?C
A.Business managers.B.Job seekers.C.College students.D.Employees.

分析 短文是针对大学生在大学期间应学习的东西,给予大学生建议.

解答 32.C,细节理解题,根据句子That's important because jobs change more frequently due to changes in technology and business competition可知,Nancy的建议是以变化迅速的工作市场为基础的,故答案为C.
33.D,词义猜测题,根据短语后面 for fear it will ruin their GPA,学生害怕毁了他们的平均分数,可以猜测comfort zone就是学生擅长的那些科目,故答案为D.
34.A,推理判断题,根据句子You may be unwilling to go outside your areas of strength for fear you'll get a low grade可知,next-step mentality指的是学生不敢做超出范围内的其他事情,不敢上那些自己不擅长的科目,因此在大学只学某一工作要求的东西就可称为next-step mentality,故答案为A.
35.C,主旨大意题,短文是针对大学生在大学期间应学习的东西,给予大学生建议,因此觉得其最有用的是大学生,故答案为C.

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题,首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意.因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料.其次,细读题材,各个击破.掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性.对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准.

19.My first child was due in a couple of months.All of my shopping was done except for one thing.When my little brother was born,my mom had bought an old-fashioned,red-velvet baby carriage(天鹅绒童车).Ever since then,I wanted one for my child.
I knew that this would be hard to find.So mum offered to take me around.Even used carriages cost quite a bit,and l had only 35to spend.I hoped that I could only use the money I had.Early one Saturday morning,we drove for about an hour to a city with flea (跳蚤)market,and second-hand stores.
As we searched place after place without even seeing a baby carriages,we'd take turns saying,"It

I was so excited that I can't say a word.When I calmed down,it occurred to me that,because it was new,I probably couldn't afford it.The saleslady said it came with the store when she bought it several years ago,and that it had been in storage(储存)until just this morning.She said she wanted to get rid of it as a bargain and was only asking 35.You can imagine how happy we were on our way home.If it hadn't been for my mother,I wouldn't have made it.
Both of my children have outgrown(长得不再需要)the carriage,but l keep it to remind me of my mother's words,"Never lose hope."I always encourage my children with my experience.I say if you never lose hope,you will succeed eventually.
