Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在经济衰退时期,很多雇主采用给员工一个冠冕堂皇的头衔的方法来渡过难关,这种方法有它的优势,但是会给员工带来一系列的问题。
1.C 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Businesses are now in the cost-cutting mode. Title inflation(头衔通胀)has crept into the workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes and concerns about a recession…”(企业现在正处于成本削减模式。头衔通胀已经蔓延到工作场所。裁员、招聘停止和对经济衰退的担忧……)可推知,画线词的含义应为“困扰”。故选 C项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“They are offering lofty-sounding titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise for internal employees or big compensation for job candidates.”(他们提供了冠冕堂皇的头衔,以减轻不给内部员工加薪或者给求职者巨额薪酬的打击。)可知,员工的薪水与他们的头衔不匹配。故选 A项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make placement and earn a fee, they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.”(然而,当他们注意到候选人的头衔高于客户提供的头衔时,障碍就会出现。既然招聘人员想安排工作并赚取费用,他们就不会浪费时间,而是会寻找其他更适合的候选人。)可知,如果候选人的头衔高于客户的要求,招聘人员可能不会考虑该候选人。故选 C项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, if your current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when you are searching for a new job, if your title is ‘director’, but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, ‘Why do you want to go down in the title ’”(更重要的是,如果你们目前的头衔太高,就会引发危险信号。例如,在你寻找新工作时,如果你的头衔是“总监”,但新职位低于该级别,面试官会好奇地问:“你为什么要降级 ”)可知,招聘经理对那些选择降级的人的态度是怀疑的。故选D项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了普林斯顿大学食堂的一个工作人员在工作中对每一位同学微笑、打招呼,希望用微笑让学生们快乐,被认为是“隐藏的天使”。
1.B 根据上文“…was recently wondering…”可知,克里斯想弄清楚是怎么回事,故学生们应该是不知怎么地就焦虑或者沮丧。故选B。 anyhow随便地;somehow不知怎么地;anyway反正;nowhere无处。
2.A 根据上文“Chris Alsgree, an undergraduate at Princeton University, was recently wondering…”可知,克里斯想知道问题的答案,因此去找牧师讨论问题。故选A。consequently因此;undoubtedly毫无疑问地;apparently显然;additionally此外。
3.D 根据“…discussing the question of optimism, and how to…it in a high-stressed setting—institutions.”可知,此处应该讨论怎样培养这种乐观的精神。故选D。polish打磨,润色;practise练习;cure治愈;cultivate 培养。
4.B 根据下文“The woman…swiping (刷) the diners’ meal cards had been smiling and greeting every student as they approached, magically transforming a dull…into a relaxing process.”可知,威尔逊在吃饭时注意到了一些事情。故选B。correct 纠正;notice注意到;overlook忽略;acknowledge承认。
5.C 根据下文“…swiping (刷) the diners’ meal cards…”和提到的食堂的场景可知,该工作人员应该是负责刷饭卡的。故选C。capable of有能力做;content with对……满意; responsible for对……负责;bored with对……感到厌烦。
6.A 根据上文“…greeting every student as they approached…”和常识可知,在学校食堂买饭要排队。故选A。line排队; stand站立; flood大量涌入;crowd挤满。
7.B 根据上文staff members可知,这里说的是工作人员与学生之间的相遇。故选B。appointment约会;encounter偶遇;discussion讨论;interview采访。
8.D 根据上文“The woman…swiping (刷) the diners’ meal cards had been smiling and greeting every student as they approached…”可知,工作人员对学生的微笑和问候都是在关心学生。故选D。greet问候;teach教;guide指导;care关心。
9.C 根据下文“Chris invited some voluntary students to print loads of postcards—‘Who is your Hidden Angel ’…”可知,克里斯采取了具体措施,故这里是灵感产生了。故选C。ring给……打电话;stick卡住;arise产生;seek寻找。
10.D 根据下文“Nominations poured in.”可知,推荐纷至沓来,故那些志愿者学生应该是在校园里大量分发那些明信片。故选D。turn out结果是;figure out弄清楚;work out计算出;hand out分发。
11.B 根据下文“The Hidden Angels were…at the Fame Hall.”可知,颁奖的时刻到了,这是一个重大的时刻。故选B。tiny极小的;big重大的;intricate 复杂的;heartbreaking令人伤心的。

●Ⅴ 阅读理解
[2024·广东广州花都区秀全中学高二期中]
Businesses are now in the cost-cutting mode, Title Inflation (头衔通胀) has crept into the workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes and concerns about a recession are plaguing employers.
To balance this unique economic environment, employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applicants without spending more money. They are offering lofty-sounding titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise for internal employees or big compensation for job candidates.
An employee title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful. In this sense, the policy is a sensible way to help retain staff and attract top candidates.
But if you do not really deserve the new title it could come back and haunt you. Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant, well-paying position in terms of skills, backgrounds, and previous experience. However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make placement and earn a fee, they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.
Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate, there is a good chance the candidate won’t accept. Because most people aren’t aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance. Understandably, they would be offended if they received a lower-level post. Now that you are at a certain level, you don’t want to go backward.
What’s more, if our current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when you are searching for a new job, if your title is “director”, but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, “Why do you want to go down in the title ” There will be a presumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right. They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to be downgraded. Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate, they’ll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage.
( )1.What does the underlined word “plaguing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Shocking. B.Embarrassing.
C.Troubling. D.Confusing.
( )2.What can we learn about employees with lofty-sounding titles
A.Their salaries don’t match their titles.
B.They tend to look down upon others.
C.Their fear of being fired will disappear.
D.They get a good platform for development.
( )3.What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate’s title is higher than the client offers
A.He will have a discussion with the client.
B.He will contact the job applicant immediately.
C.He will not take the candidate into consideration.
D.He will spare no effort to know more about the job applicant.
( )4.What is hiring managers’ attitude towards those who choose to be downgraded
A.Enthusiastic. B.Annoyed.
C.Appreciative. D.Doubtful.

Your mama’s not here. I hope my smile is making you happy!” “It’s 14 —you’re prize,” Catherine added. “And I hope it makes the students feel great to do their bit for the world.” As to the question of the existence of angels, Chris was 15 firmly that they were all around us, and that any of us might be one.

[2024·广东广州花都区秀全中学高二期中]
Businesses are now in the cost-cutting mode, Title Inflation
(头衔通胀) has crept into the workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes
and concerns about a recession are plaguing employers.
To balance this unique economic environment, employers
have figured out a way to comfort employees and job
applicants without spending more money.
1
2
3
4
They are offering lofty-sounding titles to soften the blow of not
providing a raise for internal employees or big compensation for
job candidates.
An employee title is their identity. It gives them credibility
in the office and makes them feel more powerful. In this sense,
the policy is a sensible way to help retain staff and attract top
candidates.
But if you do not really deserve the new title it could come
back and haunt you. Recruiters will be pleased to find a
1
2
3
4
candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant, well-paying
position in terms of skills, backgrounds, and previous experience.
However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the
candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a
recruiter wants to make placement and earn a fee, they won't
waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better
fit.
Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate, there
is a good chance the candidate won't accept.
1
2

4
Because most people aren't aware that their title was inflated
and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance.
Understandably, they would be offended if they received a
lower-level post. Now that you are at a certain level, you don't
want to go backward.
What's more, if our current title is too high, it raises red
flags. For example, when you are searching for a new job， if
your title is “director”, but the new role is under that level, the
interviewer will curiously inquire, “Why do you want to go down
1
2
3
4
in the title ” There will be a presumption from the hiring
manager that something isn't right. They may feel that the job
seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to be
downgraded. Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of
the candidate, they'll move on to others who have a cleaner
story without any baggage.

workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes and concerns about a
recession…”(企业现在正处于成本削减模式。头衔通胀已经蔓延到工

arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than
the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make placement and
earn a fee, they won't waste time and will seek out other
candidates who are a better fit.”(然而，当他们注意到候选人的头
衔高于客户提供的头衔时，障碍就会出现。既然招聘人员想安排工
作并赚取费用，他们就不会浪费时间，而是会寻找其他更适合的候
选人。)可知，如果候选人的头衔高于客户的要求，招聘人员可能不
会考虑该候选人。故选 C项。

[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What's more, if your current
title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when you are
searching for a new job, if your title is ‘director’, but the new
role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire,
‘Why do you want to go down in the title ’”(更重要的是，如果
你们目前的头衔太高，就会引发危险信号。例如，在你寻找新工作
时，如果你的头衔是“总监”，但新职位低于该级别，面试官会好奇地
问：“你为什么要降级？”)可知，招聘经理对那些选择降级的人的态
度是怀疑的。故选D项。
