【分析】
这是一篇语篇型语法填空题，解题时首先要通读全文，抓住文章核心主旨：讨论成长过程中对人生目标的认知误区，引导学生建立更合理的生活目标观念。之后逐句分析空格的考点：第一步先判断空格所需的词性，第二步结合固定搭配、上下文逻辑、语法规则推导答案，最后把所有答案代入通读全文，验证语句通顺、逻辑自洽即可。比如遇到动词要先考虑固定搭配的非谓语形式、时态，遇到修饰动词的成分要考虑副词形式，遇到逻辑连接要判断因果/转折关系等。
【解析】
16. 考查固定搭配ask sb. to do sth.，结合后文提到的画出自己向往的职业的语境，填to draw；
17. 考查副词作状语，空格修饰动词draw，需要把形容词happy变为副词形式，对应一年级时开心画画的状态，填happily；
18. 考查固定短语grow older，意为年龄增长、长大，和前文的一年级童年状态形成对比，填older；
19. 考查固定句型There is something wrong with sb.，意为“某人哪里不对劲”，填介词with；
20. 考查因果连词，空格后“不存在一成不变的答案”是空格前“这个问题在现实生活中没有用”的原因，表因果逻辑，填because；
21. 考查名词复数，different后接可数名词复数，句意为对大多数人来说，答案会因为不同的原因发生变化，将reason变为复数reasons；
22. 考查不定冠词，job是可数名词单数，此处泛指“一份工作”，填不定冠词a；
23. 考查反身代词，句意为我建议你多问问你自己想做什么，主语是you，对应反身代词yourself；
24. 考查宾语从句引导词，固定结构what sth. be like意为“某物是什么样子”，此处作介词about的宾语，填what；
25. 考查时态，once引导的时间状语从句遵循主将从现规则，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，表达“你将会发现人生充满可能性”的含义，填will find。
【答案】
16. to draw 17. happily 18. older 19. with 20. because
21. reasons 22. a 23. yourself 24. what 25. will find
【知识点】
固定搭配，词性转换，从句引导词
【点评】
本题属于初中阶段典型的语篇填空题型，考点覆盖了初中核心的基础语法点，既考察学生对固定短语的记忆熟练度，也要求学生结合上下文语境推导答案，避免死记硬背知识点的误区，能够有效检验学生的语篇理解能力和基础语法的综合运用水平。

Ⅳ. Reading comprehension.
Dear Victor,
I have received your letter from school and I am glad to know that you are
becoming responsible enough to decide on your career.
You know that we belong to different times, and my social life is different from
yours. However, all I can say as advice is that you must choose a career wisely. The
first consideration is your interest. You can only succeed and feel happy when you do
something you enjoy. You need to get a job which provides you with not only
something useful, but also something you like. Then, you must read a lot in the field
you are aiming at. Also, you should get to know the men and women who
work in that field. When the mind and heart work together, success is inevitable.
No career is more or less important. I think your interest may be in the field of
making TV programmes. Your good communication skills, active participation in
school plays and success in speech competitions all lead you to that direction. So a
career in mass communication like TV and film production will bring luck to you. If
you succeed in that field, you will become confident.
Think a thousand times before making any final decision about your career. After
all, we want you to be a man of success. We all know that you are old enough to think
for yourself.
With all the best wishes!
Yours,
Father

【分析】
这是一篇书信类阅读理解，解题思路如下：首先先通读全文，抓住核心主线是父亲给儿子Victor提供关于选择职业的相关建议，之后每道题都回到原文对应位置定位信息：
1. 第26题是推断题，从开篇父亲的表态和全文所有建议的主题，就能推导出Victor写信咨询的内容；
2. 第27题是词义猜测题，结合划线词前文给出的一系列择业正确做法，顺理成章就能推出成功的属性，匹配对应词义；
3. 第28题是推理判断题，找到提到"school plays"和"speech competitions"的上下文，就能明确父亲列举这些经历的目的；
4. 第29题是细节题，直接找到对应表述就能直接匹配正确选项，排除和原文相悖、无中生有的干扰项。
【解析】
26. 定位原文第一段"I am glad to know that you are becoming responsible enough to decide on your career."，且全文父亲都在给Victor提供择业相关的指导建议，可推知Victor写信是为了咨询选择职业的相关建议，A选项取得好成绩、C选项准备竞赛、D选项和他人交流都不是信件讨论的核心主题，因此选B。
27. 划线词所在句为"When the mind and heart work together, success is inevitable."，结合前文给出的择业建议：优先选择感兴趣的方向、深耕目标领域、结识行业从业者，当这些要素都齐备时，成功是必然会发生的。A选项乐于追求、B选项容易记住、C选项很难获得都不符合语境，只有D选项"sure to happen（必定发生）"匹配词义，因此选D。
28. 定位原文第三段"I think your interest may be in the field of making TV programmes. Your good communication skills, active participation in school plays and success in speech competitions all lead you to that direction"，父亲列举这些经历，是为了佐证儿子的能力适配传媒相关行业，暗示儿子可以考虑自己提出的择业方向。A选项展示为儿子骄傲、B选项要求儿子在该领域更努力、C选项断言儿子在该领域必定成功都不符合原文逻辑，因此选D。
29. 定位原文第三段第一句"No career is more or less important"，直接对应A选项"每一种职业都同等重要"。B选项出名比富有重要原文完全未提及；C选项儿子太小不能自己做决定和原文最后一段"You are old enough to think for yourself"表述相悖；D选项父母和孩子之间没有真正的理解属于无中生有，因此选A。
【答案】
26.B 27.D 28.D 29.A
【知识点】
细节查找，词义猜测，推理判断
【点评】
本题属于基础难度的书信类阅读理解，所有题目都能通过回原文定位找到明确的判断依据，干扰项设置难度低，主要考察学生快速抓取文本关键信息、结合上下文逻辑推断词义和隐含意图的能力，做完后可以把选项带回原文二次核对，避免主观臆断出错。
