Ⅰ 阅读
Changing jobs every couple of years used to look bad. It tells employers they can't hold down a job, can't get along with colleagues, or that they're simply disloyal. That thought is fast outdated; the newcomers expect to continuously learn, develop, and advance in their careers.
There are a lot of arguments for changing jobs every few years. The economy isn't what it used to be and never will be again. Workers who stay with a company longer than two years are said to get paid 50% less, and job hoppers (跳槽者) are believed to have a higher learning curve (曲线), and even to be more loyal, because they care about making a good impression in a short time and they know they'll stay with each employer.
Patty McCord, former chief talent officer for Netflix, says young people should plan to change jobs every three to four years. “I think that the most important change in people's thought is to view employees as smart contributors from the beginning. Everyone here wants to come in, do a great job, and contribute, then they either fit or they don't. You build skills faster when changing companies because of the learning curve.” McCord says.
Why is the learning curve so high? Because job hoppers place themselves outside of their comfort zones constantly. They join companies, know they have to learn fast, make great impressions, and improve the bottom line. As a result, they're usually overachievers and learn a lot in a short time.
McCord adds: People used to think that the longer they kept an employee, the worthier they were to companies. In fact, an employee who stays on the job and isn't learning at a really high rate is not doing good work. But the employees that job hunt are the most receptive of becoming extremely useful, very fast.
McCord believes that the learning curve nearly flattens after three years. If one wants to make a difference, he should leave. Employee retention (留任) is a big issue, and it makes employers anxious, says McCord. They've invested a lot in hiring big talent. To that, McCord has some advice: In 15 years, your company is growing rapidly because of all the high, job-hopping achievers that have come and gone.
篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了跳槽对跳槽者自身及公司的好处并建议年轻人要每隔几年换一份工作。
1.Why are job hoppers more loyal?

Ⅱ 七选五
Have you ever wondered what you can do when visiting Disney in Florida? There are two activity possibilities associated with Disney in Florida. __1__, and the other is Disney Cruise Line, docked in Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Coast. This article provides some ideas to help you out. Choose when you want to go. Disney recommends going during the spring and fall. The best times to go to Walt Disney World are: MidNovember through midDecember (except the week of Thanksgiving). The weather is usually cool but pleasant, the holiday decorations are up, special events are running, and the attendance is usually moderate. Expect crowds on Saturdays, especially at the Magic Kingdom. __2__, but this doesn't necessarily translate into huge crowds during early December.
The second week of January through midFebruary. It's cool (sometimes even a bit cold) at this time of year. __3__. However, some rides will be closed at this time of year. The first week of January can be busy due to extended holiday vacations and the Walt Disney World Marathon. Avoid any holiday weekends.
First three weeks of May. __4__. Crowds and hotel prices are moderate. Memorial Day weekend will be more crowded, but often not as bad as you might expect.
__5__. It will be extremely hot, and this is peak hurricane season. Plan on taking afternoons off and visiting water parks. Crowds are low. Offsite hotels usually have their rockbottom deals during this period, and Disney has offered “free dining” packages in this time frame each year since 2005.
A.One is Walt Disney World in Orlando
B.So many tourists go there to enjoy themselves
C.Disney's resorts typically fill up early for all of December
D.The weather is warm in May, and usually not unbearably so
E.Make a decision on what you want when visiting Florida Disney
F.This is one of the least busy times of year and hotel prices are lower
G.Late August and entire month of September (even Labor Day weekend)
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了一些关于参观佛罗里达迪士尼乐园时间方面的建议。
1.答案:A
解析:根据下文“and the other is Disney Cruise Line (另一个是迪士尼游轮)”可知,A项(一个是奥兰多的华特迪士尼世界)中的“One”可以和下文构成“one ... the other ...”结构。故选A。
2.答案:C
解析:根据下文“but this doesn't necessarily translate into huge crowds during early December (但这并不一定会导致12月初出现大量人群)”可知,C项(迪士尼的度假区通常在12月就提早人满为患了)与下文构成转折关系。故选C。
3.答案:F
解析:根据下文“However, some rides will be closed at this time of year.(然而,一些骑乘项目将在每年的这个时候关闭。)”可知,这个时间去参观的人比较少,且酒店价格便宜,但一些骑乘项目是关闭的。因此,F项(这是一年中最不繁忙的时候,酒店的价格也更低)符合语境,与下文构成转折关系。故选F。
4.答案:D
解析:根据上文“First three weeks of May.”可知,下文应提到五月的情况。因此D项(五月的天气是温暖的,而且通常是可以忍受的)符合语境。故选 D。
5.答案:G
解析:根据下文“It will be extremely hot, and this is peak hurricane season.(天气将会非常炎热,而且现在是飓风的高峰期。)”可知,上文应提到最热的季节。G项(8月下旬和整个9月(甚至劳动节周末))总领本段。故选 G。
Ⅲ 应用文写作

[精彩范文]
Good morning! I am honored to have the chance to give a speech on the spirit of craftsmanship.
We all know that craftsmanship is mainly made up of perseverance, integrity, diligence and expertise. Take the clock restoration master Wang Jin for example. With skillful hands and a modest heart, Mr Wang spent his whole life restoring clocks dating back hundreds of years, which not only helps preserve traditional skills but also brings the clocks back to life. Most importantly, his innovation and unremitting devotion ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time. The expression of his life philosophy and the indication of his aspiration are reflected in his work, where his ideal exists.
Therefore, let's follow those great craftsmen's steps! Devote ourselves to work, sharpen our skills and overcome difficulties with perseverance!
That's all. Thank you.
