(2023·浙江1月高考·阅读理解B篇)Live with roommates?Have friends and family around you?Chances are that if you're looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I've learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you'll find encouraging if you're doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back.I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash!A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn't need.Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable.I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries.Perhaps your household won't entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you're doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate.If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won't do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
(说明:文中加蓝词汇为主题词汇)
[真题评价]
[价值导向] 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在最开始尝试“零浪费”的生活方式时,家人并不理解她的做法,但她仍然坚持并建议读者用行动引领生活方式的转变。选文凸显了作者为自己的选择所付诸的行动,旨在引导学生作出选择后,排除外界干扰,坚定信念,用实际行动去证明自己。
√
1.What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Share an apartment with you.
B.Join you in what you're doing.
C.Transform your way of living.
D.Help you to make the decision.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分前提及的对生活方式的渴望,再根据下文描述的作者在生活方式的选择上与家人不同时的经历可推断,当你想选择更加可持续的生活方式时,不是身边的所有人都会加入其中,故B项与画线词组的意思最为接近。
√
2.What was the attitude of the author's father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it.
B.He was sympathetic to it.
C.He was tolerant of it.
D.He didn't care about it.
解析:观点态度题。根据第三段中的“my dad commented on ...jars everywhere” 可知,父亲对作者在“零浪费”生活方式上做的尝试并不赞同,故A项正确。
√
3.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is quite good at cooking.
B.She respects others' privacy.
C.She enjoys being a housewife.
D.She is a determined person.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“how silly it was” “a bit discouraging”可知,作者在最开始尝试可持续生活方式时并不顺利,未获得家人支持。根据第二段中的“I experienced this ... zero waste like me.”及下文内容可知,作者仍然坚持自己的“零浪费”生活方式。由此可知,虽然在生活方式上的转变并未获得家人的支持,但她依然坚持,可见她是一个意志坚定的人,故D项正确。
√
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to get on well with other family members.
B.How to have one's own personal space at home.
C.How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D.How to control the budget when buying groceries.
解析:主旨大意题。文章第一、二段讲述了在家庭生活中实行“零浪费”生活方式可能遭到反对;第三、四段讲述了作者如何通过自身行动改变家庭生活方式;第五段讲述了当你改变生活方式时,你可能遭遇的情况;第六段讲述了作者给读者的建议。再根据第二段尾句中的“how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household”可知,文章主要内容与如何在家庭生活中实现“零浪费”生活方式有关,故C项正确。

课时作业评价
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·惠州一模)As a child, John always wondered how the human body worked and how he could keep it healthy. His interest in medicine grew stronger when he volunteered at a children's hospital during high school. The never-give-up spirit of young patients battling against various illnesses massively affected him. Initially, he chose nursing in college, believing it would lead him to work closely with children. But after his first half year, he recognized nursing wasn't fit for him.
Switching to biology helped him discover his passion for learning about the complexities of human body and using that knowledge to help children. Although the thought of the lengthy education and residency required for pediatrics (儿科学) made him hesitant, a heart-to-heart conversation with his brother changed his mind. His brother convinced John that his passion should motivate him rather than scare him. It was then that John decided to become a pediatrician because of the simple fact that he would work with children every day, and would make a positive impact on their lives and their families.
Pediatrics is not just about regular check-ups, it also includes making sick kids feel better and helping them heal.This brings so much joy to John's heart. To him, he is not only a doctor but also a teacher, offering a safe space for the little ones to open up and share their fears or concerns. Plus, he really enjoys being a friendly and easy-to-talk-to person in their lives.
Being a pediatrician gives John the rewarding experience of helping and interacting with children daily and making those little ones' tough times easier. Also, the changing world of healthcare means he'll always be learning new things and facing exciting challenges. With his future plans, he wants to get into the field of being a physician assistant — a stepping stone that keeps him involved in pediatric care while still engaged in direct interaction with young patients. It allows him to do lots of the same things as a pediatrician, as well as helps him improve skills that are vital for making kids healthier.

(2025·贵阳模拟)Economist Tyler Cowen argues that traditional interview methods are not effective in determining the best candidates for a job, especially in creative roles. Candidates who are well-prepared often pass these interviews, but this only tests their preparation and not their abilities.
To determine the best candidate, Cowen suggests that interviewers concentrate on authenticity (真实性) and spontaneity (自发性) in their interactions with candidates, rather than relying on pre-written questions.
The interviewer should be trustworthy, Cowen argues, as it helps them better evaluate the authenticity of candidates. Eventually, “better allocation of talent” contributes to economic growth, and more thoughtful interview methods can help identify more talented individuals and elevate (提升) them to greater opportunities. Cowen adds, “There are too many interview questions, and every interviewer is ready. For example, ‘What mistakes did you make in your previous job?’ But many candidates just didn't prepare well and didn't provide a good answer. So in most cases, for better candidates, you are actually just preparing for testing. But for more creative jobs, you will lose candidates with other qualities.”
“How to get people into what I call the ‘Real Mode’ largely depends on who they are, as well as who you are. If I am interviewing a candidate, my favorite discussions are just those without scripts. I prefer to have these conversations without asking questions. I hope they are natural. I like spontaneity — how to achieve it depends on the environment, work, how much time you have, and many other factors.”
“An estimate suggests that since the 1960s, 20% to 40% of US economic growth has come from ‘better talent allocation’. If we had a fresher and more creative interview process, I do think people would be more thoughtful. They will think more deeply about the work they will be engaged in. I think we will find talents that we haven't seen so far. We will enable more people to have greater opportunities.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。经济学家泰勒·考恩认为,传统的面试方法在确定工作的最佳人选方面并不奏效,尤其是在创意岗位方面,并谈及他对于面试的看法以及建议。
√
5.How should the interviewers determine the best candidates in Cowen's view?
A.By judging if they are well-prepared.
B.By asking pre-written questions.
C.By focusing on their real performances.
D.By testing their work efficiency.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“To determine the best candidat ...on pre-written questions.”以及第三段“The interviewer should be trustworthy, Cowen argues, as it helps them better evaluate the authenticity of candidates.”可知, Cowen认为,面试官应该通过关注真实表现确定最佳候选人。故选C。
√
6.What does Cowen think of thoughtful interview methods?
A.Useless. B.Crucial.
C.Inspiring. D.Changeable.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“Eventually,‘better allocation of talent’ ... to greater opportunities.”可知,考恩认为深思熟虑的面试方法对于发现更多的人才至关重要。故选B。
√
7.What does the author mean by mentioning “better allocation of talent”?
A.Stressing the importance of authenticity in interviews.
