(2016年10月·浙江高考·阅读C)
Digital technology—email and smart phones especially—have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so,most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that,according to findings of a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix,most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.
Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey,which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely,while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner.
It is true,however,that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster,for example,to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.
The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.
More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances,smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.
28.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?
A.They fear losing control of their workers.
B.They want to stick to their routine practice.
C.They have little trust in modern technology.
D.They are used to face-to-face communication.
29.What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?
A.Doubtful. B.Favorable.
C.Reserved. D.Disapproving.
30.What does the author suggest smart firms do?
A.Shorten their office hours.
B.Give employees a pay raise.
C.Adopt flexible work patterns.
D.Reduce their staff’s workload.

第一步 把握大意
本文文章大意:本文是一篇议论文,对于远程办公,大部分老板持怀疑态度,因为他们认为员工会在家做与工作无关的事情。大部分员工持支持态度,因为这样可以兼顾工作与家务,提高自身效率,作者则认为公司应采取灵活的办公模式。
第二步 锁定信息源
第三步 确定答案
28.推理判断题。根据第一段中的most bosses are doubtful about remote working以及第二段可知,一些老板不愿意让员工远程办公是因为他们对此事持怀疑态度,认为员工会做一些与工作无关的事情,掌控不了员工。故选____。
29.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home.可知,调查显示:从未远程办公的被调查者中有64%的人为了能每周有一天在家办公宁愿放弃一些奖金,由此可以推断出大部分人是支持在家办公的。故选____。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently可知,作者建议公司采取灵活的办公模式。故选______。

(2017·黑龙江大庆模拟)It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred(同类的) spirits."He's a difficult little character," I explained.Jennie looked thoughtful."Maybe you're only seeing him with your eyes." She was silent for a moment and then added softly,"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly." I stared at her."You're quoting (引用) that! It's from The Little Prince, Antoine de SaintExupery's book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too?"Jennie nodded."I love it.I've read it so often.I've practically memorized it."
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now,how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child.One_day_I_was_at_my_wit's_end."What he needs is a good beating!" I shouted.
"He's probably had plenty of those," Jennie said."Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her have become one of my happiest memories.

(2016·高考全国甲卷)Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:"Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week."
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,"But I'm just not creative."
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep?"
"Oh,sure."
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams."The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads."That's pretty creative.Who does that for you?"
"Nobody.I do it."
"Really—at night,when you're asleep?"
"Sure."
"Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?"
5.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to________.
A.know more about the students
B.make the lessons more exciting
C.raise the students' interest in art
D.teach the students about toy design
6.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

8.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A.To help them to see their creativity.
B.To find out about their sleeping habits.
C.To help them to improve their memory.
D.To find out about their ways of thinking.
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名教师,作者用一种玩具培养孩子们的创造性和动手能力,其中一个孩子的创造性引起了作者的注意。
5.解析:选A。细节理解题。从题干的in order to判断,本题询问作者在课堂使用这种玩具的目的,第一段提到as a test ...to find out something about my students,由此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的学生,因此选A项。B项"让课程更激动人心",C项"提高学生们对艺术的兴趣",D项"教学生玩具设计",均不是作者的目的。
6.解析:选D。推理判断题。第三段作者描述这个学生,说他特别有创造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work),因此选D项。imaginative有想象力的。作者在该段说他的创造力能够感染班上其他学生,这让作者意外地有了一个教学帮手,没有说他喜欢帮助老师(A项错),文章没有提到他更喜欢独自一个人学习(B项错),也没有提到他在课堂上非常活跃(C项错)。
7.解析:选B。词义猜测题。前文提到作者很喜爱这个学生,说这个学生的创造性能够感染其他学生,下文说"冒着失去那些有不同的思考风格的学生的风险",根据语境前后的对比判断,downside的含义应该是drawback"不利条件,缺点",而不是mistake"错误",difficulty"困难",burden"负担"。
8.解析:选A。推理判断题。根据题干信息可知本题考查的是文章后半部分对话的信息。作者鼓励学生讲述他们最有趣的梦,然后鼓励学生说,"白天在课堂上也试一试做梦,好吗?"由此推断,作者让学生讲述他们的梦,是为了帮助学生看到自己的创造性,因此选A项。B项"为了弄清楚他们的睡眠习惯",C项"为了帮助他们提高记忆力",D项"为了弄清楚他们的思维方式",均不是作者的目的。

(2017·北京东城联考)I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career (职业).
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime course.I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a fulltime job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

(2017·甘肃兰州高三诊断)Your kids learn a lot from their friends—things you can't teach them, no matter how much you want to.
Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships. As a parent, you can't do this, because you and your child aren't equals.
For example, when you're sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.
To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he might simply yank (猛拉) the toy out of his friend's hand. If he does that, he may learn that it's not the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and timeouts. The successful child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else equally fun to play with.
Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy adulthood. You can't be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school dance. Your child's friends will be the ones to stick_up_for her, to include her in games, and later, to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom (糟糕的舞会) date wanders off instead of dancing with her.
Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and pass on knowledge.
Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your child's success later in life is her ability to make friends. In fact, they claim it's even more important than IQ and grades.
This doesn't mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.
This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of childhood and adolescence. While it's true that popularity has many advantages, and that many popular kids really are nice people—and not just the best dressed or best looking—it's better to have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.
13.By giving the example in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show that ________.
A.kids can learn how to deal with the relationships when they stay with their peers
B.parents should spend more spare time playing with their kids
C.kids should learn how to be polite when they ask their parents for help
D.parents can teach their kids how to be good members in the modern society in their daily life
14.What does the underlined phrase "stick up for" in the fifth paragraph mean?
A.Envy. B.Oppose.
C.Support. D.Ignore.
15.In the author's opinion,________ is more important than being popular for kids.
A.getting high grades
B.having some real friends
C.developing a good habit
D.knowing how to dress themselves up
16.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Bridge the Generation Gap
B.What It Takes to Be a Good Friend
C.Why Friends Are important
D.How to Be Popular in School
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇议论文。孩子们会从和朋友的相处中学到许多大人怎么想教都教不会的事,所以真正的好朋友对一个人的成长至关重要。
13.解析:选A。推理判断题。一般而言,在议论文中,举例都是为了证明作者的观点。由此可知,第三段所举例子是为了证明第二段作者的观点,即"Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships."。故选A。
14.解析:选C。词义猜测题。根据本段第一句中的"Friends also provide emotional support"可知,此处将家长与同龄朋友进行比较是为了说明同龄朋友会给孩子们以情感上的支持。由此可知,画线词意为"支持"。故选C。
15.解析:选B。细节理解题。根据文章最后三段可知,朋友的质量比朋友的数量、智商、分数和外表都重要。故选B。
16.解析:选C。标题归纳题。文章的中心段是第一段,由此结合全文内容可知,文章主要说明了同龄朋友对孩子成长的重要性。故选C。
