of the strongest compensation programs in the industry”可知，该职位 可以享受业内非常强大的补偿金项目，故C项正 确。」 23.B[细节理解题。根据文中的“Successful appli- cants often have experience in customer services,in- side sales,outside sales,sales support,management roles,or other customer-facing positions.”可知，该岗 位需要管理经验，故B项正确。] [语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了65岁（退 休)以后，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。 24.B[推理判断题。根据第二段的“It's perfect,”she told The New York Times."I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.”“太完美了，” 她告诉《纽约时报》。“人们欣赏我所做的事情，让我 感到满足。”可知，Sue Ellen King对她的工作很满 意。故选B。] 25.A[段落大意题。第二段主要以休·艾伦·金为 例，介绍她在退休三个月后，回到位于佛罗里达州 杰克逊维尔的佛罗里达大学健康中心工作，她在那 里做了38年的护理护士和护理教育工作者。她在 重返工作岗位后，感到非常满足。由此可知，本段 主要是给出一个退休后，成功重返工作岗位的例子。 故选A。] 英语(WY)·选 26.D[细节理解题。根据第三段的“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..“但我想继续工作，一方面是 为了钱，但更多的是因为我觉得自己想在职业生涯 中做得更多，”他说。可知，他做兼职工作是因为他 喜欢继续工作。故选D。] 27.C[细节理解题。根据第四段可知，退休人员的优 势在于，不管他们从事什么工作，他们都不需要关 注潜在的收入，所以这些年长的员工会被更有意义 的工作所吸引。可知，退休人员关注有意义的工作 是因为他们不需要关注收入。故选C。] [语篇解读]这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者 一直是个好强的人，却在大学毕业后从事第一份工作 时，遇到了挫折。最终，丢掉了工作，失意地离开。从 这段经历中，他悟出了面对困难时，要坚持下去，不能 放弃。 28.D[细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“I took on the assignment happily,thinking that this might be my time to shine.”可知，第一段中作者就自述了是个 好强的人，之所以欣然接受委派，就是觉得到自己 大显身手、证明能力的时候了，与D选项描述相符。 故选D。 29.B[词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，公司选择站在 客户一边，努力满足客户不合理的要求，而不是坚 持我们在合同中最初的报价。由此推断，画线词所 在句表示“此举”导致了一系列问题的出现，而问题 的根源就是前句中指出的公司的错误决策一罔顾 合同承诺，而一味迎合客户的不合理要求，所以第 二段中画线的“this”指满足客户不合理的要求。故 选B。 30.A[推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，那是 我人生中最困难的一段时间，最后我不得不放弃我 的第一份工作，遗憾地离开了那家公司。根据第三 段第一句可知，那时我想，也许我能找到一份不需 要和难相处的人打交道、不需要面对困难情况的工 作。由此可推知，就是因为在第一份工作中常常落 入让人犯难的处境和情形中，不得不对付一些难办 的事务，才使得作者放弃了工作，A选项“令人沮丧 的工作处境”符合文意。故选A。 31.B[主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句我明白了，面 对困难时，不应该放弃，而应该坚持下去。并结合 全文内容可知，本文就是作者通过分享自己的第一 份工作经历，想要表达“面对困难时，应该坚持，而 非放弃”这一主题，故选B。] [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。低度就业或不充分 就业不是指没有工作，常常指有着某种专业资格的人从 事着非专业的工作，也指本应该从事全职工作，而实际 在做临时工作，或者人浮于事的状态。本文给我们讲述 的就是低度就业的三个层面及其形成原因。 32.B[细节理解题。根据文章第一段对underemploy- ment的解释“In the third sense,it is a form of over- staffing(人浮于事)in which employees are not being fully made use of.”可知B正确。] ·8 择性必修第三册 33.B[推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句可知，国家 统计的失业率，不包括在找全职工作的临时工，也不 包括酬不抵劳的人。由此可知，失业率的统计数据 仅包括没有工作的人。故选B。」 34.A[细节理解题。虽然第三段提到了在发达国家低 度就业很常见，但是并没有说低度就业仅发生在发 达国家，由此可知A不符合文章的意义。其他选项 可在文中找到依据。」 35.C[主旨大意题。全文在解释低度就业或不充分就 业的含义，故选C。] 第二节 [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，介绍了保持自律的一 些方法。 36.A[考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空 No personal success,achievement,or goal,can be realized without self-discipline”个人的成功、成就 或目标，没有自律都不可能实现。：以及空后“It is the ability

B 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 part-time in a position created just for her."It's perfect,"she told The New York Times."I get the satisfaction of hav- ing people appreciate what I do.With the aver- age lifespan for those who reach age 64 now get- ting 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 part-timers,tem- porary positions,and some can also turn up op- portunities that may lead to longer-term work. Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unem- ployment 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 nee- ding to focus on the earnings potential of whatev- er jobs they take on,so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work.And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and expe- rience to good use,they may well have more flex- ibility than mid-career people.Two-thirds of re- tirees 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(申请社 会保障)benefits early.. 24.How does Sue Ellen King like her work? A.Interesting. B.Satisfying. C.Boring. D.Encouraging. 25.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A.Giving an example of successful returning to work after retirement. B.Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job. C.What is Sue Ellen King's work. D.Giving an example of working full-time in a university. 26.What was the main reason for Fred to have a part-time job? A.He was out of work. B.He could help large banks. C.He had personal crisis. D.He liked continuing working. 27.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. C I always had the preference to take on more than I should when I was young.At times,I wanted to prove to myself that I could handle it. At other times,my purpose was to please some- one and gain recognition for my efforts.Some- times this led to stress or frustration. When I was an IT manager after college graduation I was assigned to work with a wealthy customer and be a go-between(中间人)for my company.I took on the assignment happily, thinking that this might be my time to shine. However,the customer's demands proved to be more than I could do with.And the company chose to stand by the customer and tried to meet his unreasonable requirements rather than stick to what we had originally offered in the contract. As you can imagine,this led to a lot of unexpect- ed problems and arguing with some of the staff who refused to do anything outside their scope (范围)of work..I remember walking into my of- fice one morning,opening my laptop and staring ·1 at the blank screen for long,thinking to myself: What should I do?That was a difficult time in my life and then I finally had to give up my first job and left that company sadly. Perhaps,I thought then,I could find the job that didn't involve dealing with difficult people and difficult situations.But later I realized:Is this possible in our modern world?No,it is im- possible.Now,I know,I shouldn't run away from the challenges I faced in life:I had to learn how to deal with them.I regret not persevering (坚持)in my job..We should train ourselves to look at things from a positive point of view,be- cause that is far better than being trapped in the bad circle depression.I've come to see that when faced with difficulties,I should not give up,but persevere. 28.Why did the author take the work assigned to him happily? A.He wanted to please the boss. B.The work was very easy for him to do. C.He failed to find a job many times before. D.He thought it was time to prove his ability. 29.What does the underlined word“this”in the second paragraph mean? A.Arguing with some of the staff. B.Meeting the customer's unreasonable re- quirements. C.Accepting the assignment without hesita- tion. D.Sticking to what had been originally of- fered in the contract. 30.What made the author leave his first job? A.The depressing job situation. B.The low payment. C.His lack of ability. D.A better job waiting for him. 31.What's the best title of the text? A.Running away from challenges. B.Persevering instead of giving up. C.Refusing to argue with customers. D.Learning to take on more than one can. D The term“underemployment”has three re lated meanings.In one sense,it refers to a situa- tion in which someone with excellent job qualifi- cationst(资格)is working in a position that re- quires less qualifications,as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus.In the sec- ond sense,it means working part-time when one would prefer to be working full-time.In the third sense,it is a form of over--staffing(人浮于事)in which employees are not being fully made use of. All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community.Long-term underemployment can al- so cover up the truth behind the employment sit- uations.When nations collect employment statis- tics,they usually come up with a base number of "unemployed"individuals,using that number to judge the health of the job market.This number does not include part-time workers looking for full-time jobs,as they are considered employed, and it also doesn't reflect workers who are under- paid,considering their qualifications. ·2 In the first sense,underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world.Many people with college degrees are working in low-level or service industry jobs be- cause the job market is full. The issue of part-time employment is also very serious.Some people are forced into part- time jobs,while others find themselves taking a part time job because nothing else is available, even though they really need to work full-time. This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment,where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs, rather than keeping a full staff at all times. In the sense of shortage of workers,under- employment appears in a variety of situations. Some companies maintain a full staff to be pre- pared for seasonal work,or to keep well-trained, qualified workers so that they will be available when needed.Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours,leading to a situation in which people report to work,but have nothing to do. 32.According to the passage,underemployment means A.the same meaning as the word-unem- ployed B.employees are not fully taken charge of C.qualified workers get a low salary D.people who do manual work for wages 33.When it comes to unemployment statistics, A.the underpaid workers are included B.it implies the people who are jobless C.the part-time employees are included D.it shows the employment situation of a country 34.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A.Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries. B.People with college degrees sometimes take a part-time job. C.Part-time staffs seem to benefit from firms less. D.Companies need full-time staffs indeed. 35.The purpose of the passage is A.to show underemployment is becoming more serious today B.to imply women are laid off more than men C.to explain the meaning of "underemploy- ment” D.to tell the present economic situations 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人 空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 No personal success,achievement,or goal, can be realized without self-discipline.36 It is the ability to control one's impulses,emotions, desires and behavior.To possess it is to make the decisions,take the actions,and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles,discomfort,or difficulties,that may come your way.

A pot of flowers sat in the back seat,whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over."What are you doing?"I cried,fea- ring that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there,so far from home.But that wasn't the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat."It'll just be a mi- nute."She called back through the open win- dows. My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the build- ing,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared- empty-handed. Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask..“Do you know someone there?”She shook her head."Then what did you do with the flow- ers?"She smiled slightly."I gave them to the re- ceptionist..”“What?”She laughed at my confu- sion."I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially who hasn't got- ten any in a while..” I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we continued our driving,I spoke again."Did you leave your name?"To this she answered instant- ly."No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me. Suddenly,still thinking about mom's deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down!Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn't know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way. 些 注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 We were worrying about what could be done. 烯 As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road. 24
