How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
16.. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course,
but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things
you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? Or
maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. 17. but often they are not
something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there-- not very
inspired.
However, there’s another way that is perhaps better: 18.. For example, taking care of children, because you
really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government
or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the
environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 19. and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you
will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some
way will help you feel filled with purpose. 20..
A.These are all great choices
B.Think about what you like to do
C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people
【答案】16.B17.A18.E19.D20.G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何选择对你富有意义的职业。
16.上文“When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.(当你考虑择业时,
你通常会用以下两种方式来选择。)”说明接下来将会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文“If you like writing

内容。故选 B 项。
17.上文“Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office
or retail worker.(也许是医生、工程师或律师?又或许这超出了你的教育能力范围,所以你选择了办公室职
员或零售员。)”介绍了一些可能的职业选择。下文“but often they are not something you’re really passionate
about.(但它们往往不是你真正感兴趣的事情。)”表示转折,说明空处讲的是对这样这些职业的总结和概括。
A 项“These are all great choices(这些都是很好的选择)” 承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。故选 A
项。
18.上文“However, there’s another way that is perhaps better(然而,还有另一种可能更好的方法)”说明接下
来要讲另一种选择职业的办法。下文“For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help
children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to
improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis
or find a cure for a terrible disease.(例如照顾孩子,因为你真的想帮助孩子获得一个良好的开端或者变成他
们想成为的人;或者做政府或社会工作来改善你居住的社区的条件;或者成为一名科学家,帮助缓解环境
危机,或者找到治愈一种可怕疾病的方法。)”列举了一些更有意义的职业选择。E 项“Try to do something to
serve a community or make the world better(试着做些事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)”承上启下,符
合语境。故选 E 项。
19.下文“and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose
each day.(如果你为了这个目的而选择其中一个,你就会在工作中每天都有使命感。)”说明有目标地选择职
业的好处。D 项“Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose(这其中的每一种都只是众多
充满目的的可能性中的一种)”中的 purpose 和下文中 that purpose 相呼应,说明选择这些职业就会充满目的
性,引出下文。故选 D 项。
20.上文“The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled
with purpose.(重要的不是你如何为这个世界服务,而是只是以某种方式为这个世界服务会让你感到充满目
标。)”。说明选择一些有意义的工作带给你目标感。G 项“If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re
always further along than most people(如果你选择了一份有目的且有趣的工作,你总是比大多数人走得更远)”
进一步说明选择一份有目标的工作带给你的意义,承接上文,符合语境。故选 G 项。

Slash(斜杠)Careers
What is your job? Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer/writer or a
teacher/photographer. 16.The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark(标识符)—a slash that comes
between job titles.
People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job
usually comes before the slash.17.This secondary job can help supplement the person’s income.
Why would anyone want more than one job? Some people look to their jobs for opportunities to develop their
interests. But most people have too many interests for one job. Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include
interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with
work-life balance. 18.
On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance. 19. One might give up necessary
things like relaxation, exercise or time with one’s family. People with slash careers need to think carefully about
how they use their time. This includes knowing when to stop working.
The clear advantage to slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to
have a little extra money to spend or to save.
20.With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be
so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job.
If your interests stretch beyond your ordinary job, a slash career may work for you.
A.Slash careers provide extra money.
B.Slash careers also make one’s life more stable.
C.Working more than one job can fill up all of your time.
D.If you have more than one job, you have a slash career.
E. It shows the person is creative and willing to work hard.
F. The job after the slash is often based on a person’s interests.
G. That’s because they can give people an opportunity to express themselves.
【答案】16.D17.F18.G19.C20.B
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了斜杠职业是什么及其优缺点。
16.由下一句“The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark(标识符)—a slash that comes between
job titles.”(“斜杠职业”一词来源于标点符号——一种介于多种工作之间的斜杠。)可知,下文提及“斜杠职
业”一词,并对其进行了解释说明,可得出该空填写内容应该与引出“斜杠职业”是什么的信息有关,承接下
文,D 选项“如果你有一份以上的工作,你就是斜杠职业一族。”切题。故选 D 项。
17.由上两句“People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary
job usually comes before the slash.”(有斜杠职业的人通常有一份能满足他们大部分需求的主要工作。主要工
作通常在斜杠职业之前。),下一句“This secondary job can help supplement the person’s income.”(第二份工作
有助于补充个人收入。)和第三段关于“工作的兴趣爱好”内容可知,主要工作通常在斜杠职业之前,下文就
提到了作为斜杠职业的第二份工作,主要工作是赚钱来满足基本生存需求,那么斜杠职业应多与人的兴趣
爱好相关,承接上下文,F 选项“斜杠后的工作通常是基于一个人的兴趣。”切题;该选项中的“The job after the
slash”对应上文的“The primary job usually comes before the slash”。故选 F 项。
18.由上两句“Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some
people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance.”(如果第二份工作包含了第一
份工作所没有的兴趣,那么它就是一种享受。一些鼓励斜杠职业的人说,这实际上有助于平衡工作与生活。)
可知,上文说到第二份工作可以提供第一份工作所没有的兴趣,又说它有助于平衡工作与生活,所以后面
解释人们选择斜杠职业的原因,第二份工作给予人们表达自我的机会,即符合人们的兴趣所在,才选择斜
杠职业,承接上文,G 选项“那是因为他们能给人们一个表达自己的机会。”切题。故选 G 项。
19.由上一句“On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance.”(另一方面,斜杠职业
可能对工作与生活的平衡造成危险。)和下一句“One might give up necessary things like relaxation, exercise or
time with one’s family.”(一个人可能会放弃必要的事情,如放松、锻炼或与家人在一起的时间。)可知,本
段讲斜杠职业的缺点,斜杠职业会让人放弃必要的事情,如放松、锻炼或与家人在一起的时间,即斜杠职
业(多做一份工作)会占用时间,承接上下文,C 选项“做一份以上的工作可以填满你所有的时间。”切题。
故选 C 项。
20.由下两句“With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job
may be so successful that it can tum into one’s primary job.”(有了斜杠职业,失去工作并不意味着失去全部收
入。或者第二份工作可能是如此成功,以至于它可以变成一个人的主要工作。)可知,下文全在讲斜杠职业
的好处,可得出该空填写内容应与斜杠职业的优点相关,承接下文,B 选项“斜杠职业也能使一个人的生活
更加稳定。”切题。故选 B 项。

There was a time when I was very concerned about what other people thought of me, especially when I
was misunderstood and labeled incorrectly.16. Of course, you need to do something to let go of that mental
suffering if you are stuck in such a similar situation.
●Identify and understand why you care. What makes what other people think of you so important? If other
people's opinions cause you to worry, chances are that you have a tendency to be pleased. Being favored might be a
winning formula for you in the past. 17. But if it doesn't come as expected, just be yourself.
●Understand you can't control others. The reality is that you cannot control what another person thinks of you.
What most people don't understand is that we often form opinions of others based on associations we had in the
past. And the bottom line is that it's none of your business what another person thinks of you. 18.
●Practice daily self-love and acceptance. Your situation may come from a concept that we are not as worthy as
another person and our needs are not as important as theirs. Recognize you are equal to every other person. 19.We
all have different roles but that does not make anyone more valuable as a human being.
●Live a life that pleases you. Constant worry about what others think of you must create considerable stress
and will impact your relationships, your health, and your peace of mind.
●20. You will not need to be concerned with the few people who just don't seem to understand you. You can
live your fulfilling life and they can live theirs.

C.Everyone deserves respect and admiration.
D.Stay true to your values and do your own thing.

章给出了几点建议。

situation.”提及,陷入类似情况要做一些事情来释放精神痛苦,所以说明过分关注他们的观点是一件耗精力,
不必要的事,故选 G。
17.下文“But if it doesn't come as expected, just be yourself.”说明但是事与愿违,表转折,说明此空应填好的
事情,F 项“当然,有人高度尊重是有好处的。”符合语境,certainly 说明与上文“被青睐可能是你过去成功定
式。”一致,故选 F。
18.本段首句“Understand you can't control others.”说明你不能控制别人,以及空前一句“And the bottom line is
that it's none of your business what another person thinks of you.”说明别人对你的看法与你无关,可知那是他或
她的个人观点,故选 A。

七选五【河北省保定市 2020-2021 学年高三上学期期末】
There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. 36. If no action is taken, some of these
languages will become extinct.
37. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages no longer exist, Huff Post
reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.
In addition, the languages of “dominant” cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get a better
education and job, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own
languages. Dominant languages include English, French and Mandarin.
Once a language dies, it rarely comes back to life. 38. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants
more than 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak basic Maori, an indigenous (土著的) language,
by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.
In September, 2018, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of native languages was an “emergency”.
39.
Some people argued that language loss, like the loss of some animal species, is simply a fact of life on earth.
40. When we lose a language, we lose the worldview and culture of the people who spoke it. Language itself is
often the only way to convey a certain community’s history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like
math and geography, the BBC noted.
A.Languages become endangered for many reasons.
B.But what about the endangered languages?
C.However, all languages are a form of human heritage.
D.What can people do to preserve languages?
E. It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.
F. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this.
G. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO.
【答案】36.G37.A38.F39.E40.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。世界上有很多语言濒临灭绝,这是人类遗产的丧失,人们正在采取措施保护濒
危语言。
36.根据后文“If no action is taken, some of these languages will become extinct.”(如果不采取行动,这些语言
中的一些将会灭绝。)可知,此处是指很多语言即将消亡。所以选项 G(但根据联合国教科文组织的数据,
这些语言中有 43%正在消亡。)切合文意。故选 G。
37.根据后文“One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages no longer exist, Huff
Post reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.”(据《赫芬顿邮报》
报道,其中一个原因是,一些以濒危语言为母语的群体已经不复存在。这些人有时会离开他们的社区,搬
到城市或城镇。)可知,此处是指语言消失的原因。所以选项 A(语言濒危的原因有很多。)切合文意。故
选 A。
38.根据后文“In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country’s population
to be able to speak basic Maori, an indigenous (土著的) language, by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all
New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.”(在新西兰,政府曾表示,希望到 2040 年,该国
20%以上的人口能够讲基本的毛利语,这是新西兰的一种土著语言。据《纽约时报》报道,该政府计划到
2025 年在新西兰所有学校提供毛利课程。)可知,此处是指政府在保护濒危语言方面的努力。所以选项 F(世
界各国政府都在采取行动防止这种情况的发生。)切合文意。故选 F。
39.根据前文 In September, 2018, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of native languages was an
“emergency”. (2018 年 9 月,美国阿拉斯加州宣布,母语的丧失是一个“紧急情况”。)可知,因为母语的丧
失是一个“紧急情况”,所以美国阿拉斯加州正在致力于让这些语言新生。所以选项 E(据《Quartz》报道,
该政府目前正在努力赋予这类语言新的生命。)切合文意。故选 E。
40.根据后文“When we lose a language, we lose the worldview and culture of the people who spoke it. ”(当我们
失去一种语言,我们就失去了说这种语言的人的世界观和文化。)可知,此处是指语言是人类的文化和世界
观的代表,所以选项 C(然而,所有的语言都是人类遗产的一种形式。)切合文意。故选 C。
七选五【河北省石家庄市 2021 届高三年级第一次质检】
Food waste is a huge problem, especially in grocery stores. Americans waste about 40% of their food
every year. 16. There are several factors that contributed to this colossal amount of waste.
Misleading labels
There is a big difference between a sell-by date and a use-by date. When a sell-by date passes, it doesn’t mean
that the food is unsafe to eat. However, many people still think that they have to toss it. Grocery stores sometimes
throw away food simply because it’s getting close to the sell-by date.17. The Daily Table is a non-profit grocery
store in Massachusetts that collects food from other grocers that is close to its sell-by date and sells it at a
deeply-discounted price. This both provides food to people at low costs and keeps it from being thrown away.
18. Denmark has a volunteer-run food waste supermarket and is planning on opening two more. The
Real Junk Food Project in the UK just opened its first food waste supermarket, where items have no set prices.
Shoppers are allowed to pay what they can for the food.
Imperfect produce
19. Yet in grocery stores most produce looks identical. Some food in grocery stores gets thrown
out because it’s imperfect, or it doesn’t “look good.” The food is still fine to eat, but often ends up in the trash. The
non-profit End Food Waste has a list of retailers all over America that sell imperfect produce. They also have a
petition that you can sign which asks major grocery stores to consider selling imperfect food.
There are also subscription services where you can get “ugly” produce delivered to your door. Imperfect
Produce and Hungry Harvest are both organizations working to recover food that would otherwise be thrown
away.20.
Consumer action
Not all the blame for food waste belongs to grocery stores. As consumers we can help to influence the type of
food that stores sell. By buying food in less excess, food that is close to the sell-by date, and imperfect produce, we
can help reduce food waste.
A.This idea has been gaining ground in Europe, as well.
B.Produce rarely grows in a way every plant looks the exact same.
C.There are several companies working to recover out-of-date food.
D.In 2008, 43 billion pounds of perfectly good food were thrown out of grocery stores.
E.This is a great way to reduce the waste of short-lived foods, which food banks often can’t accept.
F.A new law passed by the Senate makes it illegal for supermarkets to throw away or destroy unsold food.
G.Just one quarter of all wasted food could feed the 795 million people around the world who suffer from hunger.

【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要分析了造成食物浪费这个现象的原因。
16.上文“Food waste is a huge problem, especially in grocery stores. Americans waste about 40% of their food
every year.(食物浪费是个大问题,尤其是在杂货店,美国人每年浪费大约 40% 的食物)”,下文“There are
several factors that contributed to this colossal amount of waste.(有几个因素导致了如此巨大的浪费)”,可知
上文以及设空处应是对食物浪费现象的说明,下文是对上文现象原因分析的引入。 D 项 “In 2008, 43 billion
pounds of perfectly good food were thrown out of grocery stores.(在 2008 年,430 亿磅完好的食物被扔出杂货
店)”与上文及下文一致,故选 D。
17.下文“The Daily Table is a non-profit grocery store in Massachusetts that collects food from other grocers that
is close to its sell-by date and sells it at a deeply-discounted price. This both provides food to people at low costs
and keeps it from being thrown away.(Daily Table 是 Massachusetts 一家非营利性食品杂货店,它从其他食品
杂货商那里收集接近保质期的食品,然后以很低的价格出售。这既能以低成本为人们提供食物,又能防止
食物被扔掉)”说明 Daily Table 食品杂货店回收接近保质期的食品。由此可知上文设空处应是讲“有几家公
司致力于回收接近过期食品”,下文是对设空处的举例。C 项中“companies”“recover out-of-date food”与下文
一致,故选 C。
18.下文“Denmark has a volunteer-run food waste supermarket and is planning on opening two more. The Real
Junk Food Project in the UK just opened its first food waste supermarket, where items have no set prices. Shoppers
are allowed to pay what they can for the food.(丹麦有一家志愿者经营的食物浪费超市,并计划再开两家。英
国“The Real Junk Food Project ”刚刚开设了第一家食物浪费超市,那里的商品没有固定的价格。购物者可以
尽其所能购买食物)”可知本段主要讲欧洲也运用了上文第二段回收收集接近保质期的食物的做法。设空处
位于段首,具有统领下文的作用。A 项“This idea has been gaining ground in Europe, as well.(这种想法在欧洲
也得到了认可)”与下文一致,故选 A。
19.下文“Yet in grocery stores most produce looks identical. Some food in grocery stores gets thrown out because
it’s imperfect, or it doesn’t “look good.” The food is still fine to eat, but often ends up in the trash. The non-profit
End Food Waste has a list of retailers all over America that sell imperfect produce. They also have a petition that
you can sign which asks major grocery stores to consider selling imperfect food.(然而在杂货店里,大多数产品
看起来都一样。杂货店里的一些食物因为不完美或者看起来不好而被扔掉,其实还是可以吃的,但经常被
扔进垃圾桶。非营利性的食物浪费处理机构,列出了全美销售不完美产品的零售商名单。他们还有一份请
愿书,你可以在上面签名,要求主要的杂货店考虑出售不完美的食物)”,可知下文与设空处应是转折关系。
B 项“Produce rarely grows in a way every plant looks the exact same.(农产品的生长方式很少是完全一样的)”
与下文一致,故选 B。
20.上文“There are also subscription services where you can get “ugly” produce delivered to your door. Imperfect
Produce and Hungry Harvest are both organizations working to recover food that would otherwise be thrown away.
(还有订购服务,你可以把“丑陋”的东西送到你家门口。Imperfect Produce 和 Hungry Harvest 都是致力于回
收本来会被扔掉的食物的组织)”,设空处位于段尾,应是对上文进行总结。E 项“This is a great way to reduce
the waste of short-lived foods, which food banks often can’t accept.(这是减少食物短期浪费的好方法,而这种
浪费食物救济中心通常不能接受)”对上文进行总结,与上文一致,故选 E。

The Art of Staying Motivated
There are days when just reading about how to keep motivated seems too much trouble, let alone doing
anything about it. 16. You will miss your assignment, fail your degree or lose your friends.
17. While you need to listen if your teacher says he has never read a worse essay, try to concentrate on the
positives. Maybe you have been praised for your imaginative use of research material, or for your enthusiastic
approach to the subject. Enthusiasm is a great motivator, so try to get excited about what you are doing. 18.
If you can't get enough excitement about the subject of your degree to keep you going, think about all the other
reasons there are for getting on with things. Consider how learned you will become once you get through the books
on your reading list. 19.
20. There is nothing more motivating than fearing that they are going to get a better mark than you, just by
putting in more work. Enjoy your competitiveness, and don't let anyone else get ahead.
If none of the above works, there's always the option of leaving post-it notes around your room telling you to
“Just Do It”.
A.Just dust yourself off and press forward.
B.But avoid beating yourself up over failures.
C.Remember you're not the only one that failed.
D.Your friends are useful as a source of competition.

七选五【辽宁省铁岭市六校 2021 届高三下学期第一次模拟】
While Finland frequently tops international school rankings, Norway, the richest country in North Europe,
performs much worse. 16. She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education
policies in Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to
researchers and educators.
Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have underperformed in
science subjects for years. 17. But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example,
politicians decide that how much time should be spent on math per semester.
Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the politicians are
in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely governed by
politicians. 18.
The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic faculties
from every university selected their own representatives. They together were responsible for policy changes.
19. The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the Finnish professional environment.
20. The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can't be done
overnight and simply copying Finland's way will be difficult. "Education policies reflect historical and cultural
structures in society, "she said. "I think it's very important that educators and researchers in Norway should be
given more room to develop what Norwegian education should be like.”
A.Recently, Afdal looked at the differences between Finland and Norway.
B.The education policies of the two countries are very similar.
C.The Minister has had a very firm control on the reform.
D.The Ministry simply monitored the process.
E.This has resulted in several educational reforms.
F.Is Norwegian education system a failure?
G.Can Finland's success be copied?
【答案】16.A17.E18.C19.D20.G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。通过对挪威和芬兰教育的研究,发现芬兰的教育体制的改革是由研究人员和教
育工作执行的,部长只是起监管作用;而挪威的教育政策却是由政治家们全权把控,所以才导致挪威教育
的失败。而芬兰的成功案例是否能轻易复制?这取决于社会的历史和文化结构。
16.根据后文“She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education policies in
Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to researchers and
educators.(她是奥斯陆大学的哲学博士。她发现,挪威的教育政策受政治控制,而芬兰则把教育政策的制定
交给研究人员和教育者)”可知,本句是关于某个人物的描述,且这个人对芬兰和挪威之间的教育政策制定问
题做了研究。故 A 选项“最近,Afdal 研究了芬兰和挪威之间的差异”符合语境,故选 A。
17.根据上文“Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have
underperformed in science subjects for years.(与其他高度发达国家的学生相比,挪威学生的理科成绩多年来一
直不佳)”以及后文“But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example, politicians decide
that how much time should be spent on math per semester.(但在挪威,政策的改变是由政治家们主导的。例如,
政客们决定每个学期应该花多少时间在数学上)”可知,本句承上启下说明,挪威的学生们表现不佳,所以这
导致了需要改变教育政策来改善现状,但在挪威,政策的改变是由政治家们主导的。故 E 选项“这导致了几
项教育改革”符合语境,故选 E。
18.根据上文“Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the
politicians are in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely
governed by politicians.( Afdal 还发现,尽管教育专家以顾问的身份参与政策变化,但政治人物才是主导者。
这一点在挪威最近的教育改革中表现得很明显:该国一直由政治家严密管理)”可知,第三段主要描述了挪威
教育工作者的建议在教育改革中只起着“建议”的作用,决策权在政治家手里。故 C 选项“部长有对改革绝对
的控制权”符合语境,故选 C。
19.根据上文“The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic
faculties from every university selected their own representatives. They together were responsible for policy
changes.(芬兰最近的教育改革采取了几乎相反的方式。每一所大学的学院都选出了他们自己的代表。他们共
同对政策的变化负责)”以及后文“The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the
Finnish professional environment.(教育工作者在这一过程中所扮演的角色表明了对芬兰专业环境的强烈信任
感)”可知,上文提到了学校在政策变化中的作用,后文则提到了教育工作者所扮演的角色,可推知本句是在
说明政府中教育部的作用:监督整个过程。故 D 选项“教育部只是监督整个过程”符合语境,故选 D。
20.根据后文“The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can’t be done
overnight and simply copying Finland’s way will be difficult.(答案可能并不确定。根据 Afdal 的说法,修补教育
体系不可能一蹴而就,简单地照搬芬兰的方法也很困难)”可知,本句为一个疑问句,后文做出回答,且结合
后文内容可知提问主要是关于能否成功复制芬兰的成功方法,故 G 选项“芬兰的成功可以复制吗?”符合语
境,故选 G。
