A
[2023·太原市高三期末]I was invited to give a speech at a conference on education. 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 students
for 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 words “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 Job
B．Asking Questions Matters
C．An Encounter with a CEO
D．Problem­solving Makes a Difference

[2023·广州市普通高中综合测试]What makes people so special? Tool use, self­consciousness, language, and culture are high 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, even
exhibiting 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 here that we find the greatest similarity to human­like cu lture 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 fool
B．prefer fruit to vegetables
C．have a special taste for food
D．have an awareness of equality
6．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 species.
D．Dolphins' ability to recognize their o wn reflection is a higher­order mental skill.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
语篇类型：议论文主题语境：人与自我——教育——提出正确问题的能力是适应当今工作的能力要素
【语篇解读】作者在一次教育研讨会上遇到了一位公司的CEO，作者向他询问公司在招聘新员工时看重新员工的什么能力，他的回答出乎作者意料，公司看重的是员工提出正确问题的能力。

所以作者反思现在的教育和教师应教会学生如何提出正确问题。

1．答案与解析：D 考查理解具体信息的能力。

根据第二段中的“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”和“However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned seems useless”可知，工作（内容）在快速变化，作者越来越担心学生没有为如今的职场做好准备，怀疑学生在学校所学的知识无用。

所以当作者偶遇一位公司的CEO时，提出了那个问题，即作者提出那个问题是为了了解公司对新员工的要求，故D项正确。

2．答案与解析：A 考查理解词汇的能力。

根据第二段中画线词语所在句以及第三段中Parker的回答可知，作者预料Parker会回答新员工应具有的一些技术能力，但是他回答的内容却不是作者所预料的答案，所以作者“错了”。

A项意为“不正确”；B项意为“没资格”；C项意为“困惑”；D项意为“不专业”。

故A项正确。

3．答案与解析：B 考查理解具体信息的能力。

根据第三段中的“The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality”可知，Parker认为提出正确问题的能力反映了员工的思维能力，也是最重要的品质。

由此可知，Parker重视员工的思维能力，故B项正确。

4．答案与解析：B 考查理解文章主旨要义的能力。

根据最后一段最后一句并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述为了让学生适应快速变化的工作（内容），教师要教会学生如何去提出正确的问题，这在当今的职场中被视为是很重要的能力。

故“问问题很重要”最适合作本文的标题，故B项正确。

[干扰项分析] 本题易误选A项，本文不是讲述如何寻找工作的，故A项错误；作者与一位CEO的偶遇是为了引出作者的观点：提出正确问题很重要，故C项错误；D项表示“解决问题很重要”，作者强调的不是“解决问题”，而是“提出正确的问题”，故D项错误。

B
语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自然——人与动物——海洋动物与人类的相似之处【语篇解读】除了大猩猩和黑猩猩等陆地动物外，某些海洋动物身上也有与人类相似的特征，海豚就是其中之一。

由题干中的gorillas定位到文章的第一段。

由第一段中的“have a sense of fair play”可知答案，故选D。

6．答案与解析：A 考查理解具体信息的能力。

由第二段中的“But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphin s, on the other hand, are large­brained, long­living, social­group­based predators”可知，章鱼缺少的是社会交往能力，故选A。

7．答案与解析：B 考查理解具体信息的能力。

根据文章第三段中的“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”可知，海豚会把捕食的技能传给下一代，故选B。

8．答案与解析：D 考查推断的能力。

由最后一段中的“Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror”及“Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months”可推知，海豚能够在镜子中识别自己的能力属于高级思维能力，故选D。

【技巧点拨】解答推断题时需注意：①不能选原文中有直接叙述的选项；②不能选含有绝对化表达的选项；③不能选过度推断的选项。

本题中的A项、B项属于过度推断，在原文中没有对应的依据；C项含有绝对化的表达。

Ⅱ.七选五
