专题强化训练(二十二)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2019·九江市第一中学期末)Being a parent is tough. Prejudice against parents in the workplace only makes it harder.‎ Asking for flexible schedule is not unique to working parents only. I've worked with people in their twenties that requested to work a fourday schedule so they could go back to school parttime. I've seen older adults in the workplace change their schedules so that they can spend more time at home. Almost everyone has to cut out of the office every now and again for a doctor's appointment or other personal matters. Flexible schedules seem to be synonymous(代名词) with working parents, but in reality, they are not.‎ Parents aren't devoted to their jobs. This is really surprising because it's quite the contrary. There is actually strong evidence that parents are more devoted to their jobs than many other employees. They are some of the most focused employees out there. Parents are less likely to change jobs than other employees. Stability(稳定) is key when raising a family.‎ Parents aren't good team members. Since it is parents that need to leave the office at 5 or aren't able to come in before 9, most people think that the singletons on the team need to make up for it. In today's technology world, this is hardly the case. While many parents do limit their physical “in office”hours, most spend time on weekends, early mornings, and after work working. Besides, parents may be more likely to take vacations during major holidays due to children's school schedules.‎ Parents are at work only out of financial needs. Why would anyone want to leave their children behind and come to the workplace if they didn't have to? Actually, a lot of people do. Caring for children is a wonderful experience, but everyone needs a break. Many parents may still be interested in their field of work, finding work interesting. Money ‎ is nice, but it's certainly not the only reason that parents are there.‎ 语篇解读：这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了为人父母很难，职场上对父母的偏见只会让情况变得更糟。‎ ‎1．Why do some young people ask for a fourday work schedule?‎ A．To see their working parents.‎ B．To return to school parttime.‎ C．To spend more time at home.‎ D．To make an appointment with doctors.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。答案定位在第二段I've worked with people in their twenties that requested to work a fourday schedule so they could go back to school parttime.(我曾经和一些20多岁的人一起工作，他们要求工作四天，这样他们就可以回到学校做兼职。)由此可知，有些年轻人要求四天工作制是为了回学校做兼职，故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎2．What does the author think of parents' attitude towards their work?‎ A．They are flexible with their work.‎ B．They always show interest in their work.‎ C．They believe their work is unique.‎ D．They are rather devoted and focused.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。答案定位在第三段There is actually strong evidence that parents are more devoted to their jobs than many other employees.(事实上，有强有力的证据表明，父母比许多其他员工更敬业。)由此可知作者认为父母对工作的态度非常专注，故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎3．The word “singletons”in the fourth paragraph can be most suitably replaced by ________.‎ A．good team members B．parents C．the unmarried D．hardworking people ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。根据画线词的上一句“Since it is parents that need to leave the office at 5 or aren't able to come in before 9”‎ 说明父母需要在5点离开办公室或不能在9点之前进来，下文应该是谈论与父母身份不同的人群，即单身人士。本句most people think that the singletons on the team need to make up for it.说大多数人认为团队中的单身人士需要弥补这一点。由此推知“singletons”的意思是没有结婚的人，故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎4．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．Unreasonable opinions about working parents.‎ B．Pressure that working parents suffer.‎ C．The contributions that parents make.‎ D．The profession parents are interested in.‎ ‎[解析]　主旨大意题。文章第一段Being a parent is tough. Prejudice against parents in the workplace only makes it harder.(为人父母很难，职场上对父母的偏见只会让情况变得更糟。)是全文的主题句，下文每个段落的首句逐条讲述了对在职父母的不合理的看法。由此可知这篇文章主要讲在职场上对父母的偏见，故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A B ‎(2019·南昌市第二中学月考)Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want？Let's face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.‎ Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are，or when things are going well，we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.‎ When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made，it can really poison our wellbeing. Many people regret something they can no longer change，which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone，so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.‎ When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life，we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others，but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.‎ When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals, you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment. Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the go and distracted by ambition.‎ Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.‎ 语篇解读：本篇阅读主要讲欲望对人的影响，以及怎样摆脱不利影响，学会满足，快乐生活。‎ ‎5．How can we live with contentment?‎ A．To change our lifestyle.‎ B．To have a motivation in life.‎ C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for.‎ D．To realize the difference between needs and desires.‎ ‎[解析]　细节推理题。题干问：我们怎样对待满足？根据Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.可知只有分清需要和欲望的区别，我们才能满足。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎6．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A．Make wise decisions.‎ B．Know the present situation.‎ C．Let go of regrets.‎ D．Remember the past.‎ ‎[解析]　主旨大意题。When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our wellbeing.下文又反复提到regrets, What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.告诉我们对遗憾要放手。故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎7．The underlined word “elide”in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”．‎ A．enjoy B．change C．create D．neglect ‎[解析]　猜测词义题。When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals, you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.句意为：当你要实现大抱负和人生目标时，你可能会忽略身边的快乐。此处elide为“忽略”。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎8．What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?‎ A．Make time for simple pleasures.‎ B．Learn from successful people.‎ C．Focus on your future goals.‎ D．Create chance to learn more.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。题干问怎样有好心情，A项为使自己快乐。B项为向成功人士学习；C项为实现将来目标；D项为创造机会多学习，都不合题意。Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.可知要寻找快乐，故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A Ⅱ.七选五阅读填空 ‎(2019·上饶市期末质量检测)‎ Ways to make your bedroom unique Tired of your room looking the same all the time?
