Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2022·湖南益阳三校高三上期末联考)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 part­time 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 part­timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer­term work.Fred Dodd tried a part­time 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 potential earnings 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 mid­career people.Two­thirds 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 benefits early. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章谈论了65岁以后，退休工人们开始重返自己的职业生涯， 或者开始新的职业生涯这一社会现象。 1．How does Sue Ellen King like her work? A．Interesting. B．Satisfying. C．Boring. D．Encouraging. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘It's perfect，’ she told The New York Times.‘I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.’”可知， Sue Ellen King对她的工作很满意。 2．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A．An example of successful returning to work after retirement. B．The reason why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job. C．An introduction of Sue Ellen King's work. D．An example of working full­time in a university. A　解析：主旨大意题。第二段主要以Sue Ellen King为例， 介绍她在退休三个月后，重返工作岗位，对此她感到非常满足。由此可知， 本段主要是给出了一个人退休后成功重返工作岗位的例子。 3．What was the main reason for Fred to have a part­time job? A．He was out of work. B．He could help large banks. C．He had personal crisis. D．He liked continuing working. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知， Fred做兼职工作是因为他喜欢继续工作。 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.
