When I met a friend recently, I asked him how his work was. “Oh, just coasting (很轻松).” he said. He’s not alone. According to a recent survey, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were “coasting” at work, which means they were making progress at work without much effort. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is meaningless.
According to a study by researchers at Oxford University, we do not, in fact, spend more time working than we did in the past. To some degree, the amount of work we do has gone down. However, many people just have jobs filled with tasks that don’t really need to be done.
The way we look at coasting has completely changed. In the past, being relaxed or not being burdened with too much work was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important. If you are not crazily overburdened, then you are seen as a slacker. This does not make sense. Most people are not as busy as they say they are. In fact, most pressing tasks at work are often unrelated to productivity. Many busy people are actually overburdened with telling others how busy they are.
Being buried in your job may make you feel important, but it’s likely to keep friends, co-workers and your family away. What’s more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you. Another study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of well-being than those who are more relaxed. Being super-busy is also bad for your career. Those who reported working very hard were associated with poorer career outcomes.
So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being too busy, and certainly not going on about how busy you are.
4. Why does the author mention the conversation with his friend in Paragraph l?
A. To show their close relationship. B. To clarify the meaning of coasting.
C. To introduce his topic. D. To begin the article in an interesting way.
5. What does the underlined word “slacker” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. A lazy person. B. An easy-going person.
C. A helpful person. D. A very important person.
6. In the author’s opinion, being super-busy with work ______.
A. is related to one’s productivity B. may help one find the purpose of life
C. is harmful to one’s career development D. may bring a better material life to one’s family
7. What is the author’s attitude towards coasters?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“工作中很轻松”的现象,指出现代人过度追求忙碌的误解,以及轻松工作对健康和职业的好处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When I met a friend recently, I asked him how his work was. “Oh, just coasting (很轻松).” he said. He’s not alone. According to a recent survey, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were “coasting” at work, which means they were making progress at work without much effort. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is meaningless.(最近我遇到了一位朋友,我问他工作怎么样。“哦,很轻松。”他回答道。他并不是唯一这样觉得的人。根据最近的一项调查,在接受调查的3000人中,有三分之一的人表示他们在工作中“很轻松”,这意味着他们在工作中取得进展而无需付出太多努力。这在许多人都在抱怨自己有多忙的时代里,可能会让人感到惊讶。但大多数关于忙碌的讨论都是毫无意义的。)”可知,作者在第一段中通过和朋友的对话引出了文章的主题,即许多人在工作中“很轻松”,这引发了作者对于现代人对于忙碌与生产力之间关系的思考。因此,作者提到与朋友的对话是为了引入文章的主题。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“In the past, being relaxed or not being burdened with too much work was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important.(在过去,放松或没有太多工作负担是地位象征。现在,极度忙碌才表明你很重要。)”可知,现在人们对“很轻松”的看法已经改变了。再根据“If you are not crazily overburdened(如果你不是忙得发疯)”可推测,一个人只要不是忙得发疯,人们就会认为他很轻松,是个懒汉。选项A“A lazy person (懒惰的人)”;选项B“An easy-going person (好相处的人)”;选项C“A helpful person (一个乐于助人的人)”;选项D“A very important person (一个非常重要的人)”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“What’s more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you. Another study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of well- being than those who are more relaxed. Being super-busy is also bad for your career. Those who reported working very hard were associated with poorer career outcomes.(此外,一直非常忙碌对你并不好。另一项研究发现,工作负担过重的人往往比更放松的人有更差的幸福感。极度忙碌也对你的职业生涯有害。那些报告自己工作非常努力的人往往与较差的职业结果相关联。)”可知,作者认为过度忙碌的工作对职业发展是有害的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being too busy, and certainly not going on about how busy you are.(因此,也许在工作中“很轻松”的人并不会拖累生产力。也许他们已经发现,高效和健康生活的秘诀不是过于忙碌,当然也不是一直谈论自己有多忙。)”可知,作者对于“很轻松”的人持积极态度,认为他们可能找到了保持高效和健康生活的秘诀。故选B。
C
Firms are increasingly investing their marketing dollars in social media — market research firms predict the spending will have reached $37 billion by the end of 2025
However, increasing traffic and advertising income through strategic content scheduling is no easy task. A social media manager charged with posting 10 stories in one day with a budget to promote four of them can position the posts in more than 7 trillion ways. Most choose a “spray and pray” approach, by which they simply guess when a post will get the most attention.
New research from the University of Notre Dame shows digital content platforms can increase traffic to their websites from social media simply by matching their posting schedules with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles.
“More specifically”, says Vamsi Kanuri, assistant professor of marketing, “consumers engage (参与) more with posts containing high-arousal negative information, including anger, stress, anxiety or fear, in the morning than in the afternoon or evening. They engage more with ‘boosted’ (paid to advertise) posts and those requiring higher cognitive (认知的) processing, such as scientific material in the afternoon.”
Simply adjusting posting schedules in accordance with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles can increase engagement significantly, allowing firms to avoid spending more money on their special social media pages.
“There is an optimum point beyond which spending more money on boosting will only result in a small increase in total profits. Also, posting content too frequently or infrequently can hurt engagement rates. The best inter-post duration in our database t seems to be between 30 and 90 minutes. The team interviewed social media managers from several major content platforms to learn how they made posting decisions and examined a year’s worth of Facebook posting and boosting data (5,700 posts) from a major newspaper. They found managers relied on gut feelings (直觉) in making posting decisions but paid zero attention to what emotional posts might draw out from readers. Firms shouldn’t rely on the general rules-of-thumb posted on various blogs all over the Internet. Instead, they should make profit- maximizing content scheduling decisions by using precise science tools.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined part “spray and pray” in Paragraph 2?
A. Funds are contributed to many companies to get maximum profit.
B. Advertisements are aimlessly spread to attract targeted people.
C. Posts are carefully arranged to interest special groups of people.
D. Brochures are handed out to increase the effect of advertising.
9. Which of the following may Vamsi Kanuri agree with?
A. People tend to get angry or anxious in the morning.
B. Digital platforms are relatively cheap for post-sharing.
C. Continuous posts are more likely to increase people’s engagement.
D. Consumers’ engagement with the content of posts varies across the day.
10. Matching posting time with people’s sleeping habits will ______.
A help people reduce their working time
B. make people manage their reading time
C. enable firms to predict people’s reading preference
D. help firms reduce their marketing budgets
11. What does the author mainly want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Digital platforms can provide better posting decisions.
B. People focus more on posts from major newspapers.
C. More attention should be paid to emotional posts.
D. Firms should seek the most profitable content scheduling decisions scientifically.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕社交媒体上的内容发布策略进行讨论,通过引用大学的研究、专家的观点以及实际的数据分析,来说明如何通过科学的方法调整发布时间、内容类型等策略,以更有效地提高社交媒体上的用户参与度和流量。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“by which they simply guess when a post will get the most attention(他们只是简单地猜测哪个帖子会获得最多的关注)”可推测,大多数人只是猜测哪个广告帖子会获得更多的关注,即广告被无目的地传播以吸引更多关注,由此可知,这里的“spray and pray”可以理解为“广告漫无目的地传播以吸引目标人群。”。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““More specifically”, says Vamsi Kanuri, assistant professor of marketing, “consumers engage (参与) more with posts containing high-arousal negative information, including anger, stress, anxiety or fear, in the morning than in the afternoon or evening. They engage more with ‘boosted’( paid to advertise) posts and those requiring higher cognitive (认知的) processing, such as scientific material in the afternoon.”(“更具体地说”,市场营销学助理教授瓦姆西·卡努里表示,“消费者在早上对包含高唤醒度负面信息(包括愤怒、压力、焦虑或恐惧)的帖子参与度更高,而在下午或晚上则较低。在下午,他们对‘推广’的帖子(即付费广告)和那些需要更高认知处理的帖子(如科学材料)参与度更高。”)”可知,消费者对帖子内容的参与度在一天中会有所变化。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Simply adjusting posting schedules in accordance with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles can increase engagement significantly, allowing firms to avoid spending more money on their special social media pages.(仅仅根据目标受众的睡眠觉醒周期来调整发布时间,就可以显著提高参与度,从而使企业不必在专门的社交媒体页面上花费更多资金。)”可知,将发布时间与人们的睡眠习惯相匹配可以显著提高参与度,从而使企业不必在专门的社交媒体页面上花费更多资金。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The team interviewed social media managers from several major content platforms to learn how they made posting decisions and examined a year’s worth of Facebook posting and boosting data (5,700 posts) from a major newspaper. They found managers relied on gut feelings(直觉) in making posting decisions but paid zero attention to what emotional posts might draw out from readers. Firms shouldn’t rely on the general rules-of-thumb posted on various blogs all over the Internet. Instead, they should make profit- maximizing content scheduling decisions by using precise science tools.(研究团队采访了几大内容平台的社交媒体经理,以了解他们如何做出发布决策,并研究了一家主要报纸一年的Facebook发布和推广数据(5700个帖子)。他们发现,经理们在做出发布决策时依赖直觉,但完全没有注意到哪些情感帖子可能会吸引读者。企业不应该依赖互联网上各种博客上发布的通用规则。相反,他们应该使用精确的科学工具来做出利润最大化的内容发布决策。)”可知,社交媒体经理们在做发布决策时依赖直觉,但完全没有注意到哪些情感帖子可能会吸引读者。作者建议企业不要依赖互联网上各种博客上发布的通用规则,而是应该使用精确的科学工具来做出利润最大化的内容发布决策。因此,作者的主要观点是企业应该通过科学的方法来优化内容发布时间,以获得最大的利润。故选D。
D
Years of exposure to Americans has, at last, convinced me of something about their food culture. I now think they’re correct in one of life’s great dilemmas: when eating at a restaurant, it is really fine to politely send your food back if it is not what you ordered, or covered in cheese when you asked for no cheese, etc.
Of course, the idea makes me feel anxious; the British fear of making a scene is planted in my soul. But what persuaded me, in the end, was realizing how self-centered that fear actually is. Are you really such a big deal that your no-cheese request will embarrass your fellow diners, ruin the waiter's day, and send waves of shock through the kitchen? Face it: you're not. Instead, you're in the situation of what might be termed “egocentric reticence (以自我为中心的沉默).”
Egocentric reticence raised its head again the other day in a study about gratitude, which found that people underestimate how much delight a thank-you note can bring. The psychologists Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley had people send grateful messages to someone who'd made a difference to their lives. Again and again, they found, senders assumed their words would lead to less happiness and more awkwardness than they really did, and that recipients would judge their letter-writing competence cruelly, too. Even in the seemingly selfless context of expressing gratitude, senders couldn’t help giving too much weight to their own perspective. So if you stop yourself from sending someone a thank-you note because you're worried you'll make them feel awkward or annoyed, you are letting egocentrism prevent an action that would have made both of you happier.
The most acute form of egocentric reticence, surely, is extreme shyness. “Shyness is just egotism out of its depth,” famous actress Penelope Keith once told an interviewer. The quote was later regarded as a line the writer Sadie Stein credits with curing her own shyness. “For some reason, the clear cruelty of that quote was what I needed, ” Stein wrote. “OK, I thought... No one is looking at you.”
12. Before contacting Americans, the author thought sending restaurant food back was ________.
A. certainly a customer's right
B. fine to do just in some cultures
C. acceptable but not worthy sometimes
D. embarrassing and would cause trouble
13. If someone is in a situation of egocentric reticence, he might ________.
A. hesitate to do something due to self-centered reasons
B. keep sending waves of shock to others
C. be ignorant of other people's feelings
D. do something extremely embarrassing
14. What did the study about gratitude find?
A. People may regard sending grateful messages unimportant.
B. It's common for Americans to send a thank-you letter.
C. It's important to thank others after being helped.
D. People often take a thank-you note for granted.
15. What does Sadie Stein's story tell us?
A. We sometimes need shyness to behave well.
B We should pay no attention to other people's thoughts.
C. We can overcome our shyness by removing our egotism.
D. We should avoid being exposed to other people's focus.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过事例介绍了“以自我为中心的沉默”的心理危害,以及怎样克服。
12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Years of exposure to Americans has, at last, convinced me of something about their food culture. I now think they’re correct in one of life’s great dilemmas: when eating at a restaurant, it is really fine to politely send your food back if it is not what you ordered, or covered in cheese when you asked for no cheese, etc.(经过多年对美国人的接触,我终于对他们的饮食文化有了一些了解。我现在认为在生活中的一个重大窘境中他们是正确的:在餐馆吃饭时,如果你拿到的不是你点的食物,或者你要求不吃奶酪时上面覆盖着奶酪,那就礼貌地把食物退回去,等等。)”可以推知,作者在接触美国人之前认为把餐厅食物退回是令人为难并会引起麻烦的。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Of course, the idea makes me feel anxious; the British fear of making a scene is planted in my soul. But what persuaded me, in the end, was realizing how self-centered that fear actually is.(当然,这个想法让我感到焦虑;英国人害怕大吵大闹的心理深深植在我的灵魂里。但最终说服我的是,我意识到这种恐惧其实是以自我为中心的。)”可以推知,一个人可能由于以自我为中心的原因,会感到恐惧而犹豫做某事。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Egocentric reticence raised its head again the other day in a study about gratitude, which found that people underestimate how much delight a thank-you note can bring.(前几天,在一项关于感恩的研究中,以自我为中心的沉默再次抬头。该研究发现,人们低估了一封感谢信能带来多少快乐。)”可以推知,人们可能认为发送感激的信息不重要。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Penelope Keith所说“Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.(害羞只是一种过分的自我主义)”以及“The quote was later regarded as a line the writer Sadie Stein credits with curing her own shyness.(这句话后来被认为是作家Sadie Stein治愈自己害羞的妙语。)”可知,Sadie Stein的故事告诉我们,我们可以通过消除自我主义来克服我们的羞怯。故选C项。

第二节 单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
36. He is a driver ______ I’m a teacher.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】while
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:他是司机,然而我是老师。两个句子之间是对比关系,应用连词while“然而”连接。故填while。
37. ______ we like it or not, we have to finish the task. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】Whether
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意:不管我们喜不喜欢,我们都必须完成任务。本空引导让步状语从句,whether…or not…为固定句型,意思是“无论是否……”,本空用whether,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Whether。
38. He wants a job ______ his management skills can be used. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:他想找一份能发挥他管理才能的工作。句中先行词为job,在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
39. ______ she will help the boy made me happy. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】That
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:她会帮助那个男孩,这让我很高兴。分析句子结构可知,本句是一个主语从句,从句不缺少成分且句意完整,所以用连接代词that引导,不可省略。故填That。
40. I have been working here for 24 years since I ______ (select). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was selected
【解析】
【详解】考查动词语态。句意:自从我被选中以来,我已经在这里工作了24年。since引导的时间状语从句描述过去的动作,故从句时态用一般过去时,且select“选择”和主语I之间是被动关系,因此从句用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为I,be动词用was。故填was selected。
41. It was the first time that she ______ (leave) alone at home. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had been left
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:这是她第一次被单独留在家里。It was the first time that...句型中,从句要用过去完成时。she 和 leave之间是被动关系,表示 “她被独自留在家里”,所以用过去完成时的被动语态。故填had been left。
42. The girl, as well as her parents, ______ (be) going to visit China next week. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这个女孩和她的父母下周将访问中国。当主语后面跟有 as well as 连接的名词时,谓语动词的形式要和主语保持一致。本句的主语是 The girl,为第三人称单数,根据 next week可知用一般将来时,be going to结构中,be动词用 is。故填is。
43. Tom stayed here for a while, during ______ time he learnt Chinese. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:汤姆在这里呆了一段时间,在此期间他学习了汉语。句中先行词为a while,during which time 在定语从句中作时间状语,which指代先行词 a while,表示“在这段时间里”。故填which。
44. The question ______ should be employed as the manager has not been settled. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】who
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语动词。句意:应该雇用谁当经理的问题还没有解决。分析句子结构可知,这是一个同位语从句,用来解释说明 the question的具体内容。从句缺少主语,且指人,所以用连接代词who引导。故填who。
45. I’ll meet you ______ we first met. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查地点状语从句。句意:我会在我们第一次见面的地方见你。空处引导地点状语从句,用where“哪里”引导。故填where。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了王德,一位铁匠,同时也是有着500年历史的打铁花艺术的传承人。他每年春节都会为村民和游客表演打铁花。打铁花是一种在特定节日进行的烟花表演,通过熔化废铁并投向冷墙来创造火花。然而,这项高风险的传统技艺只有勇敢者才能掌握,王德也曾在表演中受伤。他表示将这一技艺传给下一代是他的责任,否则这一技艺将失传。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意:王德住在张家口的盂县,是一名职业铁匠,也是有500年历史的“打铁花”技艺的传承人,其字面意义是“制作树花”。提示词修饰动词means,用副词literally作状语,意为“按照字面意义地”。故填literally。
【47题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:王德住在张家口的盂县,是一名职业铁匠,也是有500年历史的“打铁花”技艺的传承人,其字面意义是“制作树花”。分析句子可知,live(居住)是主句中谓语动词,与主语Wang De之间是主动关系,描述一般性事实,应使用一般现在时态,又因主语是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。故填lives。
【48题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为春节庆祝活动的一部分,王先生和他的助手们每年都会为村民和游客表演十几种打铁花。put on是固定短语,意为“表演,演出”。故填on。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了制造熔铁烟花,废铁被熔化到1600℃,然后扔到冷墙上。根据句意,“(create) molten iron fireworks”是“waste iron is melted to 1,600℃ and thrown against a cold wall”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填To create。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但这种高风险的传统仍然是为勇敢的人保留的。“定冠词the+形容词”是固定结构,表示具有形容词描述特征的某一类人或者某一类事物;the brave“勇敢的人”,作宾语。故填the。
【51题详解】
考查名词。句意:在几年前的一次演出中,王的腿严重烧伤,花了两个月的时间才恢复。可数名词burn作宾语,意为“烧伤”,无冠词修饰,结合句意,用复数形式。故填burns。
【52题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国,掌握这种古老做法的人只剩下四个人,其中三人要么是中年,要么是老年人。“(leave) in China”作后置定语,leave(留下)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语people之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填left。
【53题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在中国,掌握这种古老做法的人只剩下四个人,其中三人要么是中年,要么是老年人。“three of are either middle-aged or elderly”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词four people,指人,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,应使用关系代词whom引导该定语从句。故填whom。
【54题详解】
考查代词。句意:王说,他有责任把这门手艺传给下一代。分析句子可知,“ was his responsibility to pass this craft on to the next generation”是宾语从句,句中不定式短语to pass this craft on to the next generation是真正的主语,空格处是用代词it作形式主语。故填it。
【55题详解】
考查名词。句意:打铁花需要非凡的勇气、技巧和力量。提示词作宾语,用名词strength,意为“力量”,不可数名词。故填strength。

Vilma Washington was a nurse in Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California. She has worked there for twenty-eight years. Since she came to the hospital, she has helped tens of thousands of premature babies come to the world.
Mrs. Washington was a mother of four children and had a happy family. Her husband was an engineer and worked in a big company. The only child at home was Mikel, who was in his high school. Every day, Mrs. Washington would get up at six, cook for breakfast for her husband and son, and then drive the baby to school before she went to work.
Her husband got good salaries and the family didn’t need her to earn money. But she still kept her work as a nurse, because she liked the work very much. She was a senior nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (新生儿特护中心) to care for premature babies and was respected by all the doctors and nurses in the hospital. Patients, as well as doctors and nurses, came and left from the hospital, but she continued to work in the same hospital and even the same unit. Since it was one of the best children’s hospitals in the area, there were always more than enough patients. The work in the unit was naturally tough. Once you got into the nurse station, it was hard to find a chance to put yourself in a chair.
But Mrs. Washington never complained about the job. Instead, she enjoyed it, “I enjoyed the moment when a baby comes to the world with my help,” she said. “I like to see the happy and excited expressions on the parents’ faces and hear the beautiful first cry of a baby.” All the patients liked her. Every Christmas, she could receive countless cards, most of which were from her patients.
This Monday, a new doctor came to work in her unit of the hospital. He was a handsome young man. When Mrs. Washington saw the name on his name tag-Brandon Seminatore, something suddenly hit her.
“Do you live in Handwood Street and your father is a bus driver?” she asked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He told his parents about Mrs. Washington after going home that day.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Do you live in Handwood Street and your father is a bus driver?” she asked. “Yes, exactly. My parents still live in the street, but my father retired years ago,” answered the young man. “So, that’s right,” Mrs. Washington said. It turned out that the young man was one of the babies she cared for twenty-eight years before his parents took him home. The young doctor was so happy and surprised to know this.
He told his parents about Mrs. Washington after going home that day. Mr. And Mrs. Seminatore were more than happy. The following day, they went to the unit to meet Mrs. Washington who had helped their son. They took the picture that was kept for many years with them, on which was their son in Mrs. Washington’s arms. The unit was filled with great delight that day. The meeting of patients and nurses eventually became a big party! A lot of people gathered to witness the reunion after twenty-eight years. Mrs. Washington was especially excited. “ As a nurse,” she said, “it’s really a kind of reward for me.”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,Vilma Washington是新生儿特护中心护理早产儿的高级护士,受到医院所有医生和护士的尊敬,所有的病人都喜欢她。一天,一位名叫Brandon Seminatore的新医生来她所在的医院工作,当华盛顿夫人看到他的姓名牌上的名字,她突然想到了什么。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘你住在汉德伍德街吗?你父亲是个公共汽车司机?’她问。”可知,第一段可描写Washington女士同新医生Brandon之间的对话场景和Washington关于这个新医生的回忆,原来,这个年轻人是28年前她照顾的婴儿之一。
②由第二段首句内容“那天回家后,他把Washington女士的事告诉了父母。”可知,第二段可描写新医生Brandon回到家告知父母此事时他们的反应,以及全家对Washington女士的感激。
2.续写线索:疑问——确定身份——回忆——重聚——庆贺
3.词汇激活
行为类
①照顾:care for/ look after

When I met a friend recently, I asked him how his work was. “Oh, just coasting (很轻松).” he said. He’s not alone. According to a recent survey, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were “coasting” at work, which means they were making progress at work without much effort. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is meaningless.
According to a study by researchers at Oxford University, we do not, in fact, spend more time working than we did in the past. To some degree, the amount of work we do has gone down. However, many people just have jobs filled with tasks that don’t really need to be done.
The way we look at coasting has completely changed. In the past, being relaxed or not being burdened with too much work was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important. If you are not crazily overburdened, then you are seen as a slacker. This does not make sense. Most people are not as busy as they say they are. In fact, most pressing tasks at work are often unrelated to productivity. Many busy people are actually overburdened with telling others how busy they are.
Being buried in your job may make you feel important, but it’s likely to keep friends, co-workers and your family away. What’s more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you. Another study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of well-being than those who are more relaxed. Being super-busy is also bad for your career. Those who reported working very hard were associated with poorer career outcomes.
So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being too busy, and certainly not going on about how busy you are.
4. Why does the author mention the conversation with his friend in Paragraph l?
A To show their close relationship. B. To clarify the meaning of coasting.
C. To introduce his topic. D. To begin the article in an interesting way.
5. What does the underlined word “slacker” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. A lazy person. B. An easy-going person.
C. A helpful person. D. A very important person.
6. In the author’s opinion, being super-busy with work ______.
A. is related to one’s productivity B. may help one find the purpose of life
C. is harmful to one’s career development D. may bring a better material life to one’s family
7. What is the author’s attitude towards coasters?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.

Firms are increasingly investing their marketing dollars in social media — market research firms predict the spending will have reached $37 billion by the end of 2025.
However, increasing traffic and advertising income through strategic content scheduling is no easy task. A social media manager charged with posting 10 stories in one day with a budget to promote four of them can position the posts in more than 7 trillion ways. Most choose a “spray and pray” approach, by which they simply guess when a post will get the most attention.
New research from the University of Notre Dame shows digital content platforms can increase traffic to their websites from social media simply by matching their posting schedules with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles.
“More specifically”, says Vamsi Kanuri, assistant professor of marketing, “consumers engage (参与) more with posts containing high-arousal negative information, including anger, stress, anxiety or fear, in the morning than in the afternoon or evening. They engage more with ‘boosted’ (paid to advertise) posts and those requiring higher cognitive (认知的) processing, such as scientific material in the afternoon.”
Simply adjusting posting schedules in accordance with target audiences’ sleep-wake cycles can increase engagement significantly, allowing firms to avoid spending more money on their special social media pages.
“There is an optimum point beyond which spending more money on boosting will only result in a small increase in total profits. Also, posting content too frequently or infrequently can hurt engagement rates. The best inter-post duration in our database t seems to be between 30 and 90 minutes. The team interviewed social media managers from several major content platforms to learn how they made posting decisions and examined a year’s worth of Facebook posting and boosting data (5,700 posts) from a major newspaper. They found managers relied on gut feelings (直觉) in making posting decisions but paid zero attention to what emotional posts might draw out from readers. Firms shouldn’t rely on the general rules-of-thumb posted on various blogs all over the Internet. Instead, they should make profit- maximizing content scheduling decisions by using precise science tools.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined part “spray and pray” in Paragraph 2?
A. Funds are contributed to many companies to get maximum profit.
B. Advertisements are aimlessly spread to attract targeted people.
C. Posts are carefully arranged to interest special groups of people.
D. Brochures are handed out to increase the effect of advertising.
9. Which of the following may Vamsi Kanuri agree with?
A. People tend to get angry or anxious in the morning.
B. Digital platforms are relatively cheap for post-sharing.
C. Continuous posts are more likely to increase people’s engagement.
D. Consumers’ engagement with the content of posts varies across the day.
10. Matching posting time with people’s sleeping habits will ______.
A. help people reduce their working time
B. make people manage their reading time
C. enable firms to predict people’s reading preference
D. help firms reduce their marketing budgets
11. What does the author mainly want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Digital platforms can provide better posting decisions.
B. People focus more on posts from major newspapers.
C. More attention should be paid to emotional posts.
D. Firms should seek the most profitable content scheduling decisions scientifically.

Years of exposure to Americans has, at last, convinced me of something about their food culture. I now think they’re correct in one of life’s great dilemmas: when eating at a restaurant, it is really fine to politely send your food back if it is not what you ordered, or covered in cheese when you asked for no cheese, etc.
Of course, the idea makes me feel anxious; the British fear of making a scene is planted in my soul. But what persuaded me, in the end, was realizing how self-centered that fear actually is. Are you really such a big deal that your no-cheese request will embarrass your fellow diners, ruin the waiter's day, and send waves of shock through the kitchen? Face it: you're not. Instead, you're in the situation of what might be termed “egocentric reticence (以自我为中心的沉默).”
Egocentric reticence raised its head again the other day in a study about gratitude, which found that people underestimate how much delight a thank-you note can bring. The psychologists Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley had people send grateful messages to someone who'd made a difference to their lives. Again and again, they found, senders assumed their words would lead to less happiness and more awkwardness than they really did, and that recipients would judge their letter-writing competence cruelly, too. Even in the seemingly selfless context of expressing gratitude, senders couldn’t help giving too much weight to their own perspective. So if you stop yourself from sending someone a thank-you note because you're worried you'll make them feel awkward or annoyed, you are letting egocentrism prevent an action that would have made both of you happier.
The most acute form of egocentric reticence, surely, is extreme shyness. “Shyness is just egotism out of its depth,” famous actress Penelope Keith once told an interviewer. The quote was later regarded as a line the writer Sadie Stein credits with curing her own shyness. “For some reason, the clear cruelty of that quote was what I needed, ” Stein wrote. “OK, I thought... No one is looking at you.”
12. Before contacting Americans, the author thought sending restaurant food back was ________.
A. certainly a customer's right
B. fine to do just in some cultures
C. acceptable but not worthy sometimes
D. embarrassing and would cause trouble
13. If someone is in a situation of egocentric reticence, he might ________.
A. hesitate to do something due to self-centered reasons
B. keep sending waves of shock to others
C. be ignorant of other people's feelings
D. do something extremely embarrassing
14. What did the study about gratitude find?
A. People may regard sending grateful messages unimportant.
B. It's common for Americans to send a thank-you letter.
C. It's important to thank others after being helped.
D. People often take a thank-you note for granted.
15. What does Sadie Stein's story tell us?
A. We sometimes need shyness to behave well.
B. We should pay no attention to other people's thoughts.
C. We can overcome our shyness by removing our egotism.
D. We should avoid being exposed to other people's focus.

Vilma Washington was a nurse in Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California. She has worked there for twenty-eight years. Since she came to the hospital, she has helped tens of thousands of premature babies come to the world.
Mrs. Washington was a mother of four children and had a happy family. Her husband was an engineer and worked in a big company. The only child at home was Mikel, who was in his high school. Every day, Mrs. Washington would get up at six, cook for breakfast for her husband and son, and then drive the baby to school before she went to work.
Her husband got good salaries and the family didn’t need her to earn money. But she still kept her work as a nurse, because she liked the work very much. She was a senior nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (新生儿特护中心) to care for premature babies and was respected by all the doctors and nurses in the hospital. Patients, as well as doctors and nurses, came and left from the hospital, but she continued to work in the same hospital and even the same unit. Since it was one of the best children’s hospitals in the area, there were always more than enough patients. The work in the unit was naturally tough. Once you got into the nurse station, it was hard to find a chance to put yourself in a chair.
But Mrs. Washington never complained about the job. Instead, she enjoyed it, “I enjoyed the moment when a baby comes to the world with my help,” she said. “I like to see the happy and excited expressions on the parents’ faces and hear the beautiful first cry of a baby.” All the patients liked her. Every Christmas, she could receive countless cards, most of which were from her patients.
This Monday, a new doctor came to work in her unit of the hospital. He was a handsome young man. When Mrs. Washington saw the name on his name tag-Brandon Seminatore, something suddenly hit her.
“Do you live in Handwood Street and your father is a bus driver?” she asked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He told his parents about Mrs. Washington after going home that day.
