文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,从三个不同的工作导向说明人们对工作意义的看法很大程度上取决于父母,强调了父母工作习惯对青少年态度的影响。

1 . A new research from the University of Michigan stated, “People tend to have one of three beliefs about the meaning of work and which category you fall into largely depends on your parents.” Workers who are job-oriented (有工作倾向的) are those just trying to make a living who much prefer the activities they pursue outside of the office. Career-oriented adults value the social status and fame that comes with professional achievement. Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.

In the first study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers perceive their parents’ work habit is central to the development of their own work attitudes. It’s not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves-but career-determined mothers have no effect on their kids’ work orientation. The researchers owed this to generational gender norms. When the study’s participants were teenagers, mostly in the1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement. Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job-orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they’ve been raised to value social, rather than instrumental life experiences.

Having both parents display the same work ethic (行为准则) has a strong influence, but only in the case of calling-oriented offspring (子女). As the society nowadays favors money and professional achievement, a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these societal pressures and pursue her dreams. Children can affect their parents’ work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to boost efficiency and productivity and could help raise that next generation of career-oriented workers.

1. What motivates calling-oriented people to do work they like?
A.To achieve social status and fame.B.To pursue activities outside the office.
C.To believe they can earn them much money.D.To make a positive contribution to the world.
2. What is crucial in shaping the work attitudes of teenagers?
A.Peer pressure.B.Personal preferences.
C.Educational background.D.Awareness of parents’ work habits.
3. Why are children close to mothers less likely to be job-oriented?
A.Because mothers value social life experiences.
B.Because mothers focus on instrumental life experiences.
C.Because mothers tend to have a stronger career orientation.
D.Because mothers emphasize the importance of work as just a job.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The influence of societal pressures on work beliefs.
B.The preferences of workers in different occupations.
C.The impact of parental work habits on teenagers’ attitudes.
D.The relationship between money and professional achievement.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,该研究发现,浏览社交媒体可能会使人精神疲惫,这时候人们更容易购买本来并不需要的产品。

2 . Social media can lead to mental exhaustion (疲惫). And when mentally exhausted, you are more likely to be influenced by a high number of likes on posts—even to the point of clicking on ads for products you don't need or want.

As a professor of advertising, I have studied social media behaviors for years. In late 2022, my colleague Eric Haley and I conducted three online studies on Americans aged 18—65 to test how people under various mental loads respond to ads differently.

The control group in each study were given no introductory task—we just had them look at an ad. A second group had to memorize a nine-digit number and then look at the ad. The third group looked through the Internet for 30 seconds and then looked at the ad. Participants randomly saw an ad with a few hundred likes or tens of thousands of likes. After viewing the ad, each participant rated how willing they would be to buy the product, and how much mental effort it took to think about the information.

The group that used the Internet first were the most likely to want to buy the featured product when there were lots of likes or comments, and they also reported using the most mental effort to assess the ad. Researchers refer to this mentally exhausted state as “cognitive (认知的) overload”. Using social media puts them in this state because they are constantly evaluating different types of texts, photos and video posts from so many different people. In the span of several seconds, they can see a text from their husband or wife, a photo from a co-worker, a video from a celebrity and an emoji from their brother. All of this evaluating leaves them feeling frazzled.

Imagine asking your roommate if they want to go get pizza. Under normal conditions, the roommate might consider several factors such as cost, hunger, timing or their schedule. Now imagine asking your roommate the same question while they are on the phone with a sick relative. They no longer have the mental energy to logically consider whether pizza for dinner is a good idea.

By understanding how social media influences them, consumers can be more thoughtful in regulating their use—and hopefully not buy yet another water bottle they don’t need.

1. Why did the author conduct three online studies on Americans aged 18-65?
A.To investigate their online habits.
B.To test their reactions to advertisements.
C.To research what kind of advertising is effective.
D.To discover why people suffer great mental stress.
2. What docs paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study?
A.Its purpose.B.Its process.C.Its finding.D.Its significance.
3. What does the underlined word “frazzled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Interested.B.Depressed.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.
4. Why does the author mention “your roommate” in paragraph 5?
A.To further explain cognitive overload.
B.To stress the importance of. relationships.
C.To strongly call on people to eat healthily.
D.To remind people not to rely on mobile phones.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。加拿大学生委员会于11月1日组织了全国一年一度的“带孩子去上班日”活动。

3 . “Have a dream. Don’t be afraid to want something.” That’s the advice from Florence Bergeron, associate director of knowledge mobilization (动员) for the Students Commission of Canada. The group organized the country’s annual “Take Our Kids to Work Day” initiative on November 1.

Across Canada, ninth-grade students had the chance to visit the workplace of a parent, relative or friend. Bergeron said over 450,000 people participated this year.

The initiative began in 1994. “The principle was to bring their own children into the workplace so they could see what their parents were doing and prepare for taking on that same role,” Bergeron explained. The purpose of the day has changed over the years, as many kids now follow careers different from their parents’.

According to Dorota Peacock, who is the district coordinator for career education in the Surrey School District in British Columbia, the event is beneficial in various ways. “It’s valuable for exposing students to what people do in the adult workforce that they normally wouldn’t see,” Peacock said. “They get to ask questions and decide what’s interesting.”

Peacock added that students also learned what they were loath to do, which was just as valuable. That was the case for three ninth graders from Ecole Salish Secondary School in Surrey. Mia Kim, Rithi Murugaselvam, and Eljie Salimbagat said that they enjoyed visiting their parents’ workplaces, but realized that they, themselves, would likely follow different paths. Rithi,14, who visited a day care center where her mother worked, said that “much patience is required for working with kids.”

All three students agreed that learning to socialize is essential, no matter what career path you follow. “I learned that for a lot of jobs, you needed to learn how to communicate with others to be successful,” said Mia, 13.

Peacock hoped that the event inspired Canada’s ninth graders to have a deeper appreciation for their parents. “They are smart, productive people, and not just people who come home and help with homework and make meals,” Peacock said. “They’re an actual person in the world doing really cool things.”

1. What was the purpose of the initiative?
A.To expose children to the busy life.B.To prepare students for their career options.
C.To improve parent-child relationships.D.To educate children on possible changes.
2. What does the underlined word “loath” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Unwilling.B.Nervous.C.Ready.D.Eager.
3. Which of the following is a must in all careers according to the three students?
A.The ability to adapt.B.The adventurous spirit.
C.The sense of success.D.The communication skill.
4. What does Peacock probably want to say in the last paragraph?
A.Family count above all else.B.Parents’ work is much more meaningful.
C.Children should admire their parents.D.Children lack appreciation for housework.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了英国人喜欢农业展会的原因。

5 . Angus Neish dared to hope that his fine-looking cattle, bred at Rodmead Farm in Wilt-shire, would nab a prize at the Royal Bath and West Show last month. The annual fair, held near Shepton Mallet, in Somerset, is England’s oldest and grandest. As well as a fiercely competitive livestock parade, it features Morris dancing, sheep-shearing and a vintage fairground. Its pony-chariot races are second to none. Many contestants performed vigorously before a large crowd. 100,000 turned out for some of the three-day show.

Britons love a fair. No one is sure exactly how many shows there are across the country, but at least 400 days of such rural events happen annually across the country. Roughly one in ten Britons attend them each year. It appears their popularity is rising.

In late June, it was the turn of the Royal Highland Show, near Edinburgh, where 217,000 people—breaking a record set in 2019—rolled up. It is estimated that the event last year boosted nearby businesses by almost £40m ($51m).

Why do people go? Nostalgia (怀旧) is evidently a draw. At Bath and West, as colored flags flapped, visitors formed queues, bought cream teas and listened as a military band played wartime hits. Rural shows also have a purpose. Many fairs were founded to spread the knowledge of new farming technology among rural populations. Some of that mission lives on.

A secondary goal is to better educate those who flood in from towns and cities—urban folk make up a decent share of those who pack the grounds. Some consumers also come armed with powerful knowledge of food supply chains—as well as sometimes picky personal preferences for organic, local, animal-friendly and environmentally sound products. Laura Williams, of the Royal Welsh Show, notes that visitors are “much more invested in farming and interested in where their food comes from” than in years past.

A last purpose, naturally, is for farmers to excel against their rivals in friendly competition. In this respect, Mr. Neish enjoyed an utterly successful day. In a first for Bath and West, his cattle scooped all four of the top prizes on offer in their categories. Such victories do not bring immediate, large financial rewards, but should boost the reputation of his breeding program.

1. What do we know about the fair last month?
A.It saw high attendances.
B.It was a monthly show.
C.It was a fierce art competition.
D.It conveyed British moral values.
2. What’s the purpose of the shows?
A.To narrow the urban-rural gap.
B.To promote wartime hit records.
C.To offer an insight into farming.
D.To erase competition among farmers.
3. What will Mr. Neish gain from Bath and West?
A.An instant profit.
B.Marketing strategies.
C.A chance to advertise.
D.An academic reputation.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Rural shows: Victors’ stage
B.Masses of farmers: True winners
C.Farm products: Sweeping British
D.Fun of the fair: Gaining popularity

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“城市儿童农场”——这是一个让城市的孩子探索英国农村农场的项目。创始人解释成立这个项目的原因以及这个项目的好处。

7 . Donna Edmonds certainly knows a thing or two about getting children outside of the classroom. Having been a teacher for 23 years, she’s now in charge of Farms For City Children, a program enabling children in cities to explore the farms in the British countryside. Visiting children can take part in the farm tasks: growing and harvesting in the gardens; caring for chickens and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown meal in the farmhouse kitchen.

Donna’s connection with the charity led to a life-changing experience. She explained, “In November 2000, my headteacher said we’d got this trip going to a farm. I didn’t want to do that. I’m from south London and had no interest in farming.” But the week at Farms For City Children changed Donna’s entire life.

Donna said, “Quite honestly, the nature connection gap in our society is embarrassing; there are so many children who haven’t been to the countryside. I remember asking them what cows drank and they replied “milk”. Seeing them fall in love with nature was incredible to my life.”

Donna believes there is a strong need for teachers to bring city children into close contact with nature. Farms for City Children was founded in 1976, and it has now embraced a new direction — more children from different backgrounds can get into the countryside and they may one day even make a career from it.

1. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.It praises an excellent teacher.B.It introduces a school program.
C.It tells the adventure of a field trip.D.It shows the difficulty in education.
2. What can be inferred about the children in city in paragraph 3?
A.They badly need to connect with nature.B.They felt embarrassed in the countryside.
C.They are unlikely to fall in love with nature.D.They know nothing about biology knowledge.
3. What benefit may Farms for City Children bring?
A.Help with young people’s career plan.B.The right direction of farming development.
C.Improvement of children’s school performance.D.Better ways to improve farmers’ living conditions.

8 . Greta Thunberg may be the voice of a generation alarmed about climate change but she is also the voice of a generation failing to do much about it. A new study shows that young people, are taking less action to lower their carbon footprint than older Britons and are much worse at taking simple steps to help the environment, such as recycling.

The YouGov survey of 1,008 Britons found that more than 80 per cent of 18-to 24-year-old say they are worried about global warming compared with nearly 70 per cent of the over -65s. A higher proportion (比例) of young people also believe that urgent action is required to deal, with climate change. However, nearly 90 per cent of the over-65s say they recycle as much as possible compared with only half of young people. The over-65s are also more likely to have reduced the number of flights they take, to take steps to save water and to repair items. They are also more likely to turn the heating down and switch off lights in rooms they are not using.

Overall, the study found that 74 per cent of Britons are concerned about climate change and 70 per cent believe urgent action is required. However, the data suggests that the economic climate is affecting people’s willingness to act. Over half of the people questioned said that dealing with, the cost of living is a greater priority than making changes to lower their environmental impact.

Claudine Blamey, group sustainability director at Aviva, said, “The majority of UK residents believe urgent action is required to tackle environmental change. It’s heartening to see that older generations are leading the way through their climate-conscious behaviors and younger people are committing to doing more.” “It is vital that people realize making a difference is within their gift, helping their families, communities and country to get ready,” he added.

1. How did researchers of the YouGov survey support their findings?
A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.
C.By quoting statistical data.D.By presenting theoretical basis.
2. What can be known from paragraph 3?
A.Measures have been taken to get around climate change.
B.Many people in Britain are struggling with their living cost.
C.Most people are unwilling to act to protect the environment.
D.Changes made to lower environmental impact are most effective.
3. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “heartening” in the last paragraph?
A.Amusing.B.Confusing.C.DisturbingD.Inspiring
4. What is the best title for the text?
A.Britons Lead the Way in Protecting the Environment
B.Action Speaks Louder Regarding Climate Change
C.It Is an Urgent Need to Reduce Carbon Footprint
D.Young People Fail to Act on Carbon Concerns

文章大意:本文为一篇新闻报道。阿尔旺根的新居民抱怨牛铃声打扰他们夜晚休息,而农民们很愤怒,认为这是对传统文化的攻击。

9 . Bells ringing around the necks of dairy cows eating grass lazily on a green field may sound peaceful, but if you live next door, it can be noisy.

Two residents( 住 户 )who recently moved to the small village of Aarwangen in the Swiss Alps, which has a population of just 4, 700 people, complained about the ringing of cowbells. They asked for the cows’ bells to be removed at night so they can sleep.

Long-term residents and the village’s remaining farmers were angry. They felt it was an attack on their traditional culture. Cowbells have been used in rural Switzerland for centuries. They were once useful for tracking herds( 牧 群 )in the Alps in summer. Older farmers say they could hear each individual cow by the sound of its own bell. Another resident, Mr Andreas Baumann, said cowbells were an important part of the Swiss soul. Referring to the sound of cowbells, he said, “As soon as I hear them, I know I’m back home.”

The noise level of these cowbells is usually between 90 and 113 decibels(分贝) —which is equal to the noise from an alarm clock, hairdryer or some power tools. In modern times, however. many farmers have changed to using electronic chips instead of bells.

This year’s argument is not the first time residents have complained about cowbells. In 2015, a Zurich court( 法 庭 )ordered a farmer to remove the bells from his 27 cows from 10 pm to am since they were safe in a farm and always keeping the neighbors awake.

Next month, Aarwangen’s villagers will gather for a public meeting to vote on the future of their bells. They will decide how the sound of the bells can continue without breaking noise pollution laws.

1. Why did the new residents complain about the ringing of cowbells?
A.It affected their rest at night.B.It was an attack on culture.
C.It was not attractive.D.It couldn't be heard clearly.
2. What is Baumann’s attitude to the sound of cowbells?
A.Uncaring.B.Worried.C.Doubtful.D.Supportive.
3. What’s the topic of the meeting to take place next month?
A.How to make laws.B.How to keep the bells.
C.When to vote on the bells.D.Whether to remove noise pollution laws.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.An introduction to cowbells.B.An argument about pollution.
C.Cowbells: a trouble or a tradition.D.Farmers: for or against raising cows.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了在Instagram上发布的晚餐照片会告诉人们什么暗含信息。

10 . What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you

Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal: It’s all about creating a connection between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public.     1     Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.

    2     Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life — but in recent years, posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something more than the food itself.

If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they’ve made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags “#” like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences.     3    

There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant.     4     These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群) , like celebrities — to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem.

If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better, they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they’ve been eating. It’s a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible, while subconsciously saying “    5    ”. Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience.

A.I am willing to take risks in my diet.
B.There are some reasons to post photos online.
C.I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself.
D.It’s the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community.
E.The types of content we choose to post hold significance.
F.It generally implies an attempt to associate with luxury and taste.
G.We have a fundamental need to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
