阅读理解短文
There has been much discussion of the concept of quiet quitting-meaning,essentially,doing
the bare minimum at work.And perhaps that's not surprising:When you're exhausted and
overwhelmed,it feels like something needs to be given up-and for many,that seems to be the
pursuit of excellence at work.But is taking your foot off the gas the answer?
As a writer focused on time management,I've come to realize that the opposite of burnout isn'
t doing nothing,or even scaling back.As counterintuitive as it seems,adding energizing activities
to your schedule just might make life feel more double.
That's what I found when I ran a time-satisfaction study with more than 140 busy people.
At the beginning of my project,they spoke of feeling worn out."Life feels very chaotic with so
many different balls in the air,"one person told me."My work to-do list is never-ending,"another
said.
Over the course of nine weeks,some time-management strategies were introduced.Instead of
subtractive changes,participants incorporated regular physical activity and made room for small
adventures.And when it came to leisure activities,I asked them to put "effortful before effortless"
For example,even something as simple as reading a novel is better than binge-watching a TV
show.I also introduced them to the principle of taking "one night for you"-committing to doing
something you enjoy,apart from work and family.As with quiet quitting,this might sometimes
mean leaving work a little earlier than usual,but the point is not to do less;the idea is that joining
a choir,a softball team or anything else with expected attendance pushes you to figure out the
logistics,arrange the child care if necessary and go-even if life seems too busy to think about
such a thing.
Over the course of nine weeks,participants'satisfaction with how they spent their time overall
2
rose 16 percent from the beginning of the project to the end.When asked about how they spent
their leisure time "yesterday"after nine weeks,participants reported that their satisfaction rose
20 percent.They even reported making more progress on their professional goals-pretty much
the opposite of quiet quitting-as their increased energy and engagement spilled over into all areas
of life.
We each have the same 168 hours every week.But time is also all about the stories we tell
ourselves.When life is full of have-to-dos,with only brief periods of downtime in between,we can
feel beaten down by responsibilities.The key is to incorporate energizing activities into our lives
so that our inner narrative can be changed,making life feel less like a chore.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:31-34CABD
1.31.C (Leisure events that require action are more recommended.)
考点:细节理解题
语境逻辑:第3段明确提到“when it came to leisure activities,.I asked them to put'effort ful
before effortless.For example,even something as simple as reading a novel is better than binge-
watching a TV show.”,即需要付出努力的休闲活动比轻松的活动更被推荐。
选项辨析:A项与原文第I段“that seems to be the pursuit of excellence at work”矛盾;B
项与第2段“the opposite of burnout isn't.scaling back”相悖;D项“for a rest”与第3段
“the point is not to do less'”不符,C项符合原文对“effortful leisure activities”的推荐。
2.32.A (Reductive.)
考点:词义猜测题
语境逻辑:第3段“Instead of subtractive changes,participants incorporated regular physical
activity and made room for small adventures”中,“instead of”表对比,后文“incorporated”(增
加)和“made room”(腾出空间)提示“subtractive”应为“减少的”之意。
选项辨析:A.Reductive(减少的);B.Extensive(广泛的);C.Enormous(巨大的);D.Gradual
(逐渐的)。只有A与“增加活动”形成反义逻辑,符合语境。
3.33.B (Intervention in the experiment.)
考点:段落主旨题
语境逻辑:第4段开头“Over the course of nine weeks,.some time-management strategies were
introduced”,随后具体描述了实验中引入的策略,如“incorporated regular physical activity”“put
'effortful before effortless'”“taking'one night for you”等,均属于实验过程中的千预措施。
选项辨析:A项“背景”在第3段开头;C项“策略原则”仅为部分内容;D项“基于发现的
建议”在第6段,B项“实验干预”概括了整段对实验措施的描述。
4.34.D (To argue for a new way to live a more fulfilling life.

考点:写作目的题
语境逻辑:全文开篇对比“quiet quitting”,提出“the opposite of burnout isn't doing nothing.
adding energizing activities'”,通过实验证明增加积极活动能提升时间满意度和生活质量,最终
总结“incorporating energizing activities.making life feel less like a chore”,核心是倡导更充
实的生活方式。
选项辨析:A项“介绍心理学研究发现”仅为手段;B项“比较策略”未涉及;C项“分析quit
quitting”是引入话题,D项“论证新的充实生活方式”符合全文从问题到解决方案的逻辑。
