Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过引用实例、研究数据和报告,介绍了员工忠诚度的利弊,以及它对雇主和员工自身的影响。
1.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.”(有多少老板能指望,如果他们突然被迫离职,他们的员工会威胁集体辞职 Sam Altman在被Open AI解雇后,得到了700多名员工的支持,董事会迅速恢复了他的职位。但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事。)可知,作者在第一段提到Sam Altman是为了说明员工忠诚在工作中的好的一面。故选B。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.”(Stanley招募了近1400名经理来阅读一个虚构的29岁员工John的故事,他在一家试图降低成本的公司工作。他们必须决定他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。研究人员创造了不同的情境,包括给John贴上忠诚和诚实、公平等其他特质的标签。经理们更愿意让忠诚的John承担无偿工作的负担。)可知,Stanley招募了近1400名经理来安排一个虚构的员工John的工作,看他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business published this year, found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals.”(杜克大学福库商学院的Matthew Stanley领导的研究今年发表了,该研究发现经理们更愿意剥削忠诚的人。)可知,管理者可能会利用员工的忠诚,让他们承担更多的工作,甚至可能是无偿的工作,即剥削员工。故选A。
4.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.”(但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事。)、第二段“But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take action that is deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper.”(但它也不全是美好的。根据2021年的一篇学术论文,过于忠诚的人更有可能采取被认为是错误的行动来保住工作和保护雇主。)以及全文内容可知,在这篇文章中,作者主要介绍了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的利弊,特别强调了忠诚并不总是好事,有时可能导致不好的行为或对员工的剥削。选项B“Why staff loyalty is not always a good thing ”(为什么员工的忠诚并不总是一件好事 )最适合作为本文的标题。故选B。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何选择对个人来说有意义的职业。
1.B 上文“When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.”说明接下来将会分别介绍两种选择职业的方法。下文“If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things.”说明可以把自己喜欢做的事当成职业。B项(想想你喜欢做什么)符合语境。故选B项。
2.A 上文“Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker.”介绍了一些可能的职业选择。下文“…but often they are not something you’re really passionate about.”表示转折,说明空处是对这些职业的总结和概括。A项(这些都是很好的选择)承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。故选A项。
3.E 上文“However, there’s another way that is perhaps better…”说明接下来要讲另一种选择职业的方法。下文“For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in, or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease.”列举了一些更有意义的职业。E项(尽力做些事情来服务社区或者让世界变得更好)承上启下,符合语境。故选E项。
4.D 下文“…and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.”说明选择其中一个职业的好处。D项(这些中的每一种都只是众多充满意义的可能性之一)中的purpose和下文中that purpose相呼应,符合语境。故选D项。
5.G 上文“The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose.”说明以某种方式为世界服务会让你觉得充满意义。G项(如果你选择了一份有意义且有趣的工作,你总是比大多数人走得更远)进一步说明选择一份有意义的工作带给你的影响,承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。

1.incredibly 考查副词。修饰形容词complicated应用副词incredibly,故填incredibly。
2.has been used 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。主语paper与谓语构成被动关系,根据上文for thousands of years可知,应用现在完成时的被动语态,助动词用has。故填has been used。
3.on/upon 考查介词。have a huge impact on/upon表示“对……产生了巨大的影响”。故填on/upon。
4.revealing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词作状语。故填revealing。

How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, thus receiving promotions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take action that is deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. They might overlook wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption. Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behaviour.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winner of employee loyalty. Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business published this year, found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals. Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However, Consultancy Gallup’s latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122,416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work. “You can’t guarantee anyone will stick around these days,” says a consultant who advises boards. This is particularly true of younger generations. They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression, seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
( )1.What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in Paragraph 1
A.Open AI’s staff loyalty is quite high.
B.Staff loyalty’s rosy side in work.
C.Sam Altman could count on his employees.
D.This level of loyalty is not always good.
( )2.How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research
A.Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John.
B.By creating different situations to ask John to take on more unpaid work.
C.By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of John.
D.By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and honest.
( )3.What can you learn from the passage
A.Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees.
B.Younger generations are more patient with their employers.
C.Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing.
D.Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.
( )4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.How job loyalty affects the work environment
B.Why staff loyalty is not always a good thing
C.Are loyal employees more likely to be promoted
D.Does work loyalty help people’s career progress more quickly

How to choose your purpose-filled career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
1. . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money by doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. 2. , but often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there—not very inspired.
However, there’s another way that is perhaps better. 3. . For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life or blossom into who they want to be, or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in, or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 4. , and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. 5. .
A.These are all great choices
B.Think about what you like to do
C.You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose
E.Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
F.The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
G.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people
