Have you ever thought about what your personality is connected with? Recent research has shown 1 the position in which we are born in the family plays a very important role in forming personality.
Many parents usually expect to see their children do well. And the eldest children try to meet these expectations. As a result, the eldest children are usually polite and 2 (tradition). The problems for the eldest children come with the 3 (born) of the second children. Suddenly, the attention they're used to 4 (receive) becomes less. Then, they don't feel safe and will try doing anything to make their parents happy.
The second children are often more 5 (act) and are always looking for ways to get attention. One of the most common ways 6 (achieve) this is by making people laugh. So the second children are often 7 (humour). Again, problems appear when the third children arrive. Suddenly, the second children become 8 middle children and may lose a clear sense of where they are.
With the birth of the third children, parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up the children. This means the 9 (young) children, more often than not, are spoilt(溺爱) with great attention and love. This can lead them to be very self-centred, believing that the world moves 10 them. They like doing things in unexpected ways, so they are also likely to be creative.

【分析】
拿到这道题首先通读全文，明确语篇核心是介绍家庭中出生排行和性格形成的关联，先完成语法填空部分：1. 先判断句子结构，"Recent research has shown"后接完整的陈述性宾语从句，从句不缺成分语义完整，自然想到用that引导；2. 空前有并列连词and，和前面的形容词polite并列，需要把名词tradition转换为形容词词性；3. 空前有定冠词the，后面需要接名词，把动词born转换为对应的名词形式；4. 先拆分句子，"they're used to"是修饰先行词attention的定语从句，to在这里是介词，后面的动词要变为动名词形式；5. 空前有more，后面需要接形容词构成比较级，说明二胎更外向活跃，把动词act变为形容词；6. 这里是固定搭配the way to do sth，表示“做某事的方法”，用不定式作后置定语；7. 空前是系动词are，后面需要接形容词作表语，名词humour要变为形容词“幽默的”；8. 此处特指排行中间的孩子，属于特指的群体，要加定冠词the；9. 前文提到第三个孩子，是家里最小的孩子，要用形容词最高级形式；10. 结合语义“认为世界围绕他们转”，搭配介词around。之后做阅读表达，第一题定位到最后一段直接提取原文信息，第二题通读全文提炼核心主题即可。

任务1 语法填空
1. 考查宾语从句引导词，主句谓语shown后接语义完整、不缺成分的陈述性宾语从句，引导词用that，无实际含义仅起连接作用。
2. 考查词形转换，and并列两个形容词作表语，和polite对应，tradition（名词，传统）变为形容词traditional（传统的、守旧的）。
3. 考查词形转换，定冠词the后接名词，born（动词，出生）变为名词birth，the birth of...表示“……的出生”。
4. 考查固定搭配，定语从句they're used to中to是介词，后接动名词，receive变为receiving。
5. 考查词形转换，more后接形容词构成比较级，act（动词，行动）变为形容词active（活跃的）。
6. 考查非谓语动词，固定结构the way to do sth表示“做某事的方法”，不定式作后置定语，填to achieve。
7. 考查词形转换，系动词are后接形容词作表语，humour（名词，幽默）变为形容词humorous（幽默的）。
8. 考查冠词，此处特指家中排行中间的孩子，是特指的群体，用定冠词the。
9. 考查形容词最高级，对应前文的eldest、second，第三个孩子是家中最小的，young变为最高级youngest。
10. 考查介词，固定搭配move around sb表示“围绕某人转动”，符合语义填around。

情境2 你是什么样的性格,有什么样的能力,又有什么样的技能呢？如果你充分了解自己,制定符合自己个性特征的目标,现实就会来的快一些。选择适合自己的工作,你的人生路就会更加顺畅。如何选择呢？请在下面的短文中寻找答案吧。
Every year, thousands of students leave universities or colleges so that it is a big problem for them to find a fine job. In fact, there are different kinds of jobs in this society, but how should young people choose a proper one? That often worries the young people and their parents.
"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people can't get right jobs. Here are a few steps to help you think about which jobs you might enjoy doing after you leave school or university.
First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, what special qualities you have and what you are interested in. There is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest, but if you can draw a horse and it looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself a question, "Of the following three skills—skill with people, skill with information and skill with things, which is my best skill?"
After finding out your best skill, the next step is to study carefully. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do.
The last step is to trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life. Just find the job you really enjoy doing.

任务1 [文章大意]本文主要讨论了年轻人如何选择合适的职业，并给出了寻找合适工作的步骤建议，强调了自我认知和主动探索的重要性。
1. D [解析]代词指代题。根据“... there are different kinds of jobs in this society, but how should young people choose a proper one?”可知，这里“one”指代前文提到的“job”（工作），指“如何选择一份合适的工作”。故选D。
2. B [解析]推理判断题。根据“That often worries the young people and their parents.”可知，如何选择合适的工作，常让年轻人和父母担忧，说明这是“困难的”。故选B。
3. A [解析]推理判断题。根据“... if you can draw a horse and it looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.”可知，技能是指能够实际做某事并做好的能力。选项A“你擅长写故事”符合技能的定义。故选A。

任务2
I'm good at drawing so I think I can be an art teacher in the future.（开放性试题，答案言之有理即可）

【分析】
我们可以逐题梳理清晰的解题思路：
1. 代词指代题：首先定位划线词所在的句子，结合句意“社会上有各种各样的工作，年轻人该如何挑选一份合适的______”，往前检索前文出现的核心单数名词，就能直接判断指代对象。
2. 段落主旨推理题：回到第一段找到描述选工作这件事状态的句子，原文提到这件事让年轻人和家长都十分困扰，自然能推出选合适工作是有难度的。
3. 概念区分题：先回到原文找到“兴趣”和“技能”的定义差异：兴趣是“喜欢做某事”，技能是“能实际做好某事的能力”，再逐一比对四个选项，选出符合技能定义的选项即可。
4. 篇章结构题：先梳理全文的段落逻辑：第1段（①）介绍背景，点明年轻人选合适工作是普遍难题；第2段（②）总起，指出“找工作≠选工作”，引出下文要给出的选工作的具体步骤；第3到第6段（③④⑤⑥）是分点介绍四个具体步骤，属于总-分逻辑，对应匹配选项里的结构即可。
5. 文章出处题：结合全文主题是面向年轻人的求职选工作的实用建议，逐一排除不符合的选项，就能确定最可能的刊载位置。
6. 开放表达题：只需要清晰说明自己的特长/技能，再对应说出匹配的职业，表述通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段句子"there are different kinds of jobs in this society, but how should young people choose a proper one"，句中one用来指代前文提到的同名不同物的单数名词job，含义为“选择一份合适的工作”，故选D。
2. 第一段末尾提到"That often worries the young people and their parents"，说明挑选合适的工作这件事让年轻人和家长都十分困扰，可见对年轻人来说挑选合适的工作是困难的，故选B。
3. 原文明确说明：兴趣是喜欢做某件事，技能是能够实际完成并做好某件事的能力。选项B“享受听音乐”、C“喜欢每天跑步”、D“热爱读书”都属于兴趣，只有A“擅长写故事”是可以落地完成的能力，属于技能，故选A。
4. 梳理全文逻辑：①段引入求职难的背景，②段总起引出下文的选工作的步骤，③④⑤⑥段分别对应四个具体的操作步骤，属于①→②总领四个分述段落的结构，对应选项C的图示，故选C。
5. 全文是面向年轻人的实用求职指导内容，这类内容常出现在报纸的求职/民生板块，故事书以虚构叙事为主，指南手册一般是特定产品/场景的使用说明，健康杂志围绕健康主题，因此最可能出现在报纸中，故选C。
任务2为开放性试题，表述清晰、符合逻辑、内容通顺即可。
【答案】
任务1：1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.C
