Ⅰ. 閱讀理解
A
Workers are returning to their careers, or starting new ones after age 65.
More than ever, work is where many of us get our sense of purpose. That doesn’t end at age 65. After being retired for only three months, Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years. She is now working part-time in a position created just for her. “It’s perfect, ” she told The New York Times. “I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do. ” With the average lifespan for those who reach age 64 now getting all the way to 84 years old, those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.
Job sites connected toward part-timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work. Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a clerk for large banks at age 63. He’d thought about retiring then. “But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career, ” he said.
The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on, so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work. And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use, they may well have more flexibility than mid-career people. Two-thirds of retirees who’d come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed. Legal work and community service were popular choices, as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.
Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea, but it can cause issues for retirees, including effects when they claim Social Security (申請(qǐng)社會(huì)保障) benefits early.
【文章大意】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了65歲(退休)以后, 工人們開(kāi)始重返自己的職業(yè)生涯, 或者開(kāi)始新的職業(yè)生涯這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象。
1. How does Sue Ellen King like her work?
A. Interesting. 　　　　　 B. Satisfying.
C. Boring. D. Encouraging.
【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“It’s perfect, ” she told The New York Times. “I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do. ” “太完美了, ”她告訴《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》?！叭藗冃蕾p我所做的事情, 讓我感到滿足?！笨芍? Sue Ellen King對(duì)她的工作很滿意。故選B。
2. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Giving an example of successful returning to work after retirement.
B. Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job.
C. What is Sue Ellen King’s work.
D. Giving an example of working full-time in a university.
【解析】選A。段落大意題。第二段主要以休·艾倫·金為例, 介紹她在退休三個(gè)月后, 回到位于佛羅里達(dá)州杰克遜維爾的佛羅里達(dá)大學(xué)健康中心工作, 她在那里做了38年的護(hù)理護(hù)士和護(hù)理教育工作者。她在重返工作崗位后, 感到非常滿足。由此可知, 本段主要是給出一個(gè)退休后, 成功重返工作崗位的例子。故選A。
3. What was the main reason for Fred to have a part-time job?
A. He was out of work.
B. He could help large banks.
C. He had personal crisis.
D. He liked continuing working.
【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career, ” he said. “但我想繼續(xù)工作, 一方面是為了錢(qián), 但更多的是因?yàn)槲矣X(jué)得自己想在職業(yè)生涯中做得更多, ”他說(shuō)?？芍? 他做兼職工作是因?yàn)樗矚g繼續(xù)工作。故選D。
4. Why do the retired like meaningful jobs?
A. These jobs have more flexibility.
B. These jobs have lots of potential.
C. They don’t care much for salary.
D. They can’t do very hard jobs.
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知, 退休人員的優(yōu)勢(shì)在于, 不管他們從事什么工作, 他們都不需要關(guān)注潛在的收入, 所以這些年長(zhǎng)的員工會(huì)被更有意義的工作所吸引?？芍? 退休人員關(guān)注有意義的工作是因?yàn)樗麄儾恍枰P(guān)注收入。故選C。
B
I always had the preference to take on more than I should when I was young. At times, I wanted to prove to myself that I could handle it. At other times, my purpose was to please someone and gain recognition for my efforts. Sometimes this led to stress or frustration.
When I was an IT manager after college graduation I was assigned to work with a wealthy customer and be a go-between (中間人)for my company. I took on the assignment happily, thinking that this might be my time to shine. However, the customer’s demands proved to be more than I could do with. And the company chose to stand by the customer and tried to meet his unreasonable requirements rather than stick to what we had originally offered in the contract. As you can imagine, this led to a lot of unexpected problems and arguing with some of the staff who refused to do anything outside their scope (范圍) of work. I remember walking into my office one morning, opening my laptop and staring at the blank screen for long, thinking to myself: What should I do? That was a difficult time in my life and then I finally had to give up my first job and left that company sadly.
Perhaps, I thought then, I could find the job that didn’t involve dealing with difficult people and difficult situations. But later I realized: Is this possible in our modern world? No, it is impossible. Now, I know, I shouldn’t run away from the challenges I faced in life: I had to learn how to deal with them. I regret not persevering (堅(jiān) 持 ) in my job. We should train ourselves to look at things from a positive point of view, because that is far better than being trapped in the bad circle depression. I’ve come to see that when faced with difficulties, I should not give up, but persevere.
【文章大意】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者一直是個(gè)好強(qiáng)的人, 卻在大學(xué)畢業(yè)后從事第一份工作時(shí), 遇到了挫折。最終, 丟掉了工作, 失意地離開(kāi)。從這段經(jīng)歷中, 他悟出了面對(duì)困難時(shí), 要堅(jiān)持下去, 不能放棄。
5. Why did the author take the work assigned to him happily?
A. He wanted to please the boss.
B. The work was very easy for him to do.
C. He failed to find a job many times before.
D. He thought it was time to prove his ability.
【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“I took on the assignment happily, thinking that this might be my time to shine. ”可知, 第一段中作者就自述了是個(gè)好強(qiáng)的人, 之所以欣然接受委派, 就是覺(jué)得到自己大顯身手、證明能力的時(shí)候了, 與D選項(xiàng)描述相符。故選D。
6. What does the underlined word “this” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Arguing with some of the staff.
B. Meeting the customer’s unreasonable requirements.
C. Accepting the assignment without hesitation.
D. Sticking to what had been originally offered in the contract.
【解析】選B。詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段可知, 公司選擇站在客戶一邊, 努力滿足客戶不合理的要求, 而不是堅(jiān)持我們?cè)诤贤凶畛醯膱?bào)價(jià)。由此推斷, 畫(huà)線詞所在句表示“此舉”導(dǎo)致了一系列問(wèn)題的出現(xiàn), 而問(wèn)題的根源就是前句中指出的公司的錯(cuò)誤決策——罔顧合同承諾, 而一味迎合客戶的不合理要求, 所以第二段中畫(huà)線的“this”指滿足客戶不合理的要求。故選B。
7. What made the author leave his first job?
A. The depressing job situation.
B. The low payment.
C. His lack of ability.
D. A better job waiting for him.
【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知, 那是我人生中最困難的一段時(shí)間, 最后我不得不放棄我的第一份工作, 遺憾地離開(kāi)了那家公司。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知, 那時(shí)我想, 也許我能找到一份不需要和難相處的人打交道、不需要面對(duì)困難情況的工作。由此可推知, 就是因?yàn)樵诘谝环莨ぷ髦谐３Ｂ淙胱屓朔鸽y的處境和情形中, 不得不對(duì)付一些難辦的事務(wù), 才使得作者放棄了工作, A選項(xiàng)“令人沮喪的工作處境”符合文意。故選A。
8. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Running away from challenges.
B. Persevering instead of giving up.
C. Refusing to argue with customers.
D. Learning to take on more than one can.
【解析】選B。主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句我明白了, 面對(duì)困難時(shí), 不應(yīng)該放棄, 而應(yīng)該堅(jiān)持下去。并結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知, 本文就是作者通過(guò)分享自己的第一份工作經(jīng)歷, 想要表達(dá)“面對(duì)困難時(shí), 應(yīng)該堅(jiān)持, 而非放棄”這一主題, 故選B。
Ⅱ. 閱讀填句
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Telecommuting (also known as working from home, or e-commuting) is a work arrangement in which the employee works outside the office, often working from home or a location close to home. 　1　?
Doctors, dentists, and countless other healthcare workers of the world will always need to be hands-on with patients, just as:
　2　Scientists need to be in labs. ?
The existence of telecommuting must have its benefits and appropriate population.
More freedom.
Telecommuting allows a worker greater freedom regarding her or his work hours and work location. It gives the employee more flexibility to balance work and personal obligations.
Productivity.
Working from home can make you more productive, because you do not have the distractions (分心) of office space. 　3　 Sometimes you might be easily distracted by home appliances such as washing machines, or you actually need supervision from your boss to concentrate on your work. ?
Employees’ welfare.
Allowing workers to telecommute often makes them more productive. 　4　 Tele- commuters are also likely to be happier in their jobs and are therefore more likely to stay with the company. Telecommuting even saves companies money in office expenses (such as rent and stationery). ?
　5　?
Some people also find working from home to be a bit isolating, because you are not around your coworkers. Those who enjoy teamwork may lose their opportunity to bond with colleagues by teleconferencing alone. You should come up with a strategic plan if you want to ask your employer if you can telecommute.
A. Mental health issues.
B. Cooperation with workers.
C. That can benefit the company.
D. Of course, this is not necessarily true.
E. You need to find a productive place to do work.
F. Construction workers need to be on building sites.
G. However, many jobs are not suited to remote work.
【文章大意】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。遠(yuǎn)程辦公, 也稱為在家工作, 或電子通勤, 是一種工作安排, 員工在辦公室外工作, 經(jīng)常在家或離家近的地方工作。文章說(shuō)明了一些不能夠通過(guò)遠(yuǎn)程辦公進(jìn)行的職業(yè)以及遠(yuǎn)程辦公的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
1. 【解析】選G。根據(jù)后文可知醫(yī)生、牙醫(yī)和世界上無(wú)數(shù)的醫(yī)療工作者總是需要親自與病人打交道。由此可知, 并不是所有的工作都適合遠(yuǎn)程工作。故選G。
2. 【解析】選F。根據(jù)下文 Scientists need to be in labs. 可知科學(xué)家們需要待在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里。由此可知, 此處在列舉必須在工作場(chǎng)所進(jìn)行工作的職業(yè), 故F選項(xiàng)“建筑工人需要在建筑工地工作”符合上下文語(yǔ)境, 故選F。
3. 【解析】選D。根據(jù)后文可知有時(shí)你可能很容易被洗衣機(jī)等家用電器分散注意力, 或者你實(shí)際上需要老板的監(jiān)督才能專心工作。由此可知, 上文中提到的“在家辦公可以讓你更有效率”并不一定是真的。故選D。
4. 【解析】選C。根據(jù)后文可知遠(yuǎn)程通勤者也可能對(duì)工作更滿意, 因此更有可能留在公司。遠(yuǎn)程辦公甚至可以節(jié)省公司的辦公費(fèi)用(如租金和辦公用具)。由此可知, 此處是在說(shuō)明遠(yuǎn)程工作對(duì)于公司的好處。故選C。
5. 【解析】選A。根據(jù)后文可知有些人還覺(jué)得在家工作有點(diǎn)孤立, 因?yàn)槟悴辉谕律磉?。那些喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的人可能會(huì)因?yàn)閱为?dú)的電話會(huì)議而失去與同事建立聯(lián)系的機(jī)會(huì)。由此可知, 本段是在說(shuō)明對(duì)于那些喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的人來(lái)說(shuō), 可能會(huì)感覺(jué)遠(yuǎn)程工作會(huì)讓他們失去與同事建立聯(lián)系的機(jī)會(huì), 從而可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致員工感覺(jué)孤立的心理健康問(wèn)題。故選A。
