I was fifteen months old, a happy carefree kid until the day fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye. The attempt failed, but my mama, in all of her wisdom, found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed wholly, my face would grow up badly twisted, so my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. And as I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me.
I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Sometimes people, even strangers, asked me embarrassing questions or made hurtful remarks. When the kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that people looked at me in an unusual way, as if my appearance were my fault. I always felt like I was a freak(怪人).
Yet mama would say to me, at every turn, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” It became a litany that I relied on. She had started when I was young. She would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say, “If you hold your head up high, it will be okay, and people will see your beautiful soul.” She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide. Those words have meant different things to me over the years. As a little child, I thought mama meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.” As an adolescent, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they liked me. My mama’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes even if they couldn’t see it on the surface.
In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but on the inside, I still felt like a freak. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside.”
When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant it. My mama’s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others.
“Hold your head up high”, has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation.
4. As a result of the terrible accident, the writer ________.
A. became deaf and blind. B. had her eye hurt.
C. had some hearing loss. D. had her eye moved away.
5. By saying “Hold your head up high and face the world”, her mother meant to ________.

C. encourage her in her daily life. D. praise her for her great courage.
6 The underlined sentence “Each of my children has felt its invitation.” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. all of the writer’s children grew up with an inviting prospect.
B. Mama’s inspirational words had deep effects on the writer’s children.
C. each of the writer’s children received their grandma’s invitation.
D. the writer’s children had no choice but to accept the invitation.

C
The “butterfly effect” may be real, which is used to describe seemingly insignificant events that can have unplanned consequences. But there might be a more literal “butterfly effect” taking place right before our eyes, scientists suggest.
According to new research, insects actually carry electrical charges which can have enormous effects on the atmosphere, potentially influencing even the weather. The findings were published Monday in the journal Science.
Before you can understand that, you have to understand how electrical charges in the atmosphere work. The Earth’s atmosphere always carries an electrical charge to a lesser or greater degree, which scientists refer to as the Potential Gradient (PG). Scientists concluded that atmospheric electricity is primarily driven by natural weather events like thunderstorms and shower clouds, though factors like human pollution also affect it. Researchers, therefore, want to know how electrical charges impact clouds.
To confirm that honeybees carry electrical charges, researchers placed an electrical field monitor near a swarm of (一群) honeybees near the University of Bristol. They also placed a control monitor in a field where there were no bee swarms. The monitor near the bee swarm picked up an increase in electrical charge whereas the control monitor detected no such effect, confirming their assumption.
Second, the researchers wanted to calculate the insects’ electrical effects on the atmosphere compared to the electrical impacts of natural weather events like clouds and dust storms. They calculated the electrical charge of three different types of insect swarms. Most surprisingly, insects’ electrical charges can have just as significant an impact on atmospheric electricity as natural weather events.
The knowledge that insects impact the atmosphere’s electricity has bigger implications for science. PG affects the “movement of aerosols (气溶胶) in the atmosphere, and leads to charging of droplets in some clouds,” according to Hunting. Insect swarms likely won’t drive weather events like thunderstorms, but they could impact the movement of these atmospheric aerosols.
Further research will dive into this previously unexplored field of scientific research and may go beyond insects, since organisms like birds and microbes also carry electrical charges.
8 What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The background of the research.
B. The publication of journal Science.
C. The work of electrical charges in atmosphere.
D. The electrical effects of insects on atmosphere.
9. How did researchers conduct the process of experiments?
A. By using statistics. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By introducing concepts. D. By making comparisons.
10. Which has the least electrical effects on the atmosphere’s electricity?
A. Human pollution. B. Shower clouds.
C. The thunderstorms. D. The insect swarms.
11. What can we learn about the research from the passage?
A. Insect swarms are likely to drive thunderstorms.
B. Natural weather events lead to charging of droplets.
C. Both PG and insect swarms affect the movement of atmospheric aerosols.
D. Researchers have made controlled experiment between insects and organisms.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新的研究，昆虫携带的电荷会对大气产生巨大影响,甚至可能影响天气。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“According to new research, insects actually carry electrical charges which can have enormous effects on the atmosphere, potentially influencing even the weather.(根据新的研究，昆虫实际上携带电荷，会对大气产生巨大影响，甚至可能影响天气)”可知，研究发现，昆虫可能带有电荷，会对大气产生影响。代词“that”通常指代上文中的内容，所以“that”指代的内容为昆虫携带的电荷对大气的影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The monitor near the bee swarm picked up an increase in electrical charge whereas the control monitor detected no such effect, confirming their assumption.(蜂群附近的监视器检测到电荷增加，而控制监视器没有检测到这种影响，证实了他们的假设)”可知，研究发现有峰群的区域电荷增加，而没有峰群的区域未监控到电荷的变化，由此可知，该研究是采用比较的方法进行的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Scientists concluded that atmospheric electricity is primarily driven by natural weather events like thunderstorms and shower clouds, though factors like human pollution also affect it.(科学家得出结论，大气电主要由雷暴和阵雨云等自然天气事件驱动，尽管人类污染等因素也会影响它)”以及倒数第三段中的“Most surprisingly, insects’ electrical charges can have just as significant an impact on atmospheric electricity as natural weather events.(最令人惊讶的是，昆虫的电荷对大气电的影响与自然天气事件一样重要)”可知，昆虫的电荷与自然天气事件对大气电的影响是一样的重要，所以人类污染对大气电的影响是最小的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“PG affects the “movement of aerosols in the atmosphere, and leads to charging of droplets in some clouds,” according to Hunting.(根据Hunting的说法，PG影响“大气中气溶胶的运动，并导致某些云中的液滴充电”)”可知，PG影响大气中气溶胶的运动，根据下文中的“Insect swarms likely won’t drive weather events like thunderstorms, but they could impact the movement of these atmospheric aerosols.(昆虫群可能不会驱动雷暴等天气事件，但它们可能会影响这些大气气溶胶的运动)”可知，昆虫群可能会影响这些大气气溶胶的运动，由以上内容可以推断，PG和昆虫群都会影响大气气溶胶的运动。故选C项。
D
Maggie Perkins had been working as a teacher in Georgia for nearly five years before she decided to “quietly quit” her job. The decision didn’t mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract(合同) hours, nothing more and nothing less.
Perkins joins a larger online community of workers who have been sharing their experiences on TikTok. But as “quiet quitters” defend their choice to take a step back from work, company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm their career and their company in the long run.
In the wake of the global pandemic and the following Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction being at an all-time high. Disengaged(工作不投入的) workers cost the global economy about $7.8 trillion in lost productivity.
But with worries of an economic slowdown, and falling worker productivity, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, warns that anyone who tells their business leader they are a quiet quitter is likely not to have a job for very long. He says companies have become sensitive to worker burnout, especially for employees who are working from home.
Gergo Vari, CEO of the job board Lensa, suggests another choice for quiet quitting: “loudly persisting(坚持)” . That is, allowing employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals. “When you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging and have a share in where the company is going,” he says.
Career coach Allison Peck says she views “quiet quitting” as a sign of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take even braver action. “Finding a new job, manager, team, or company that better fits you can improve your attitude towards work,” she says.
12. What will “quiet quitters” do in real life?
A. They quit their jobs. B. They work part-time.
C. They hate their jobs. D. They refuse extra work.
13. What consequence will “quiet quitters” bring?
A. A global economic loss. B. Less competition at work.
C. Conflicts between colleagues. D. A shortage of labor on the market.
14. In Johnny’s view, who do companies care about more regarding worker burnout?
A. Those working at home. B. Those taking several jobs.
C. Those just returning to offices. D. Those sticking to their duties.
15. Instead of quiet quitting, what should employees do according to Gergo Vari?
A. Find a more suitable job. B. Improve their work efficiency.
C. Get along with their colleagues. D. Speak up about their demand for the company.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。由于全球疫情和随之而来的大辞职潮，许多员工开始选择“安静退出”，重新思考工作的意义。不同的专家对此给出了不同的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she decided to ‘quietly quit’ her job”和“The decision didn’t mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract(合同) hours, nothing more and nothing less.(这个决定并不意味着离开她的职位，而是将她的工作限制在合同范围内的时间，不多也不少。)”可知，“安静退出者”选择不加班做额外的工作，只在上班时间内完成自己的工作。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction being at an all-time high. Disengaged(工作不投入的) workers cost the global economy about $7.8 trillion in lost productivity.(盖洛普6月份发布的《全球工作场所状况》报告发现，对工作的不满度达到了历史最高水平。工作不投入的工人给全球经济造成了约7.8万亿美元的生产力损失。)”可推测出，“安静退出者”产生了巨大的负面影响，给全球经济带来了损失。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He says companies have become sensitive to worker burnout, especially for employees who are working from home.(他说，公司对员工的倦怠已经变得很敏感，尤其是在家工作的员工。)”可知，公司对那些在家工作的员工更为关注。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数二段中的“Gergo Vari, CEO of the job board Lensa, suggests another choice for quiet quitting: ‘loudly persisting(坚持)’ . That is, allowing employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals.(Lensa求职平台首席执行官Gergo Vari为安静退出建议另一种选择：‘大声坚持’。也就是说，允许员工就他们的组织如何能为他们的目标服务畅所欲言。)”可推测出，Gergo Vari认为员工应该大声说出自己对公司的需求。故选D。

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an early Saturday morning, about 5:30 am. My mom called to me, “Austin, get up! Time to go and serve the homeless!” I dragged myself out of bed.
I started serving the homeless when I was eight years old. I didn’t know these people would make such a big difference in my life.
Two Saturdays a month I go to the church and help get things ready for breakfast. When the gate is opened, people come rushing in to get coffee, juice or milk. They take their seats while breakfast is prepared, and then we begin to serve. We each grab two plates and carry them down the line as the plates are filled. Each person receives two pancakes, a scoop of eggs, hashbrowns, and two sausages. I walk to the tables where the people are sitting and set the plates before them. I always make sure that I smile. After I’ve served them, I ask if they need anything else and bring them whatever they ask for. Some say thank you, some don’t, but I don’t care. I’m there to serve them.
When I first started serving, I was a little scared. Some of the people were wearing clothes with patches on them and shoes with holes in them. They were not that clean and their teeth were yellow or missing. At first I stayed close to my mom most of the time, but after I got to know these strangers I realized that they were nice, friendly people. And the inside of them was often nicer than the outside. I started talking to my new friends and realized that there was no reason to be scared. After serving for a few months, I started to look forward to seeing the same people each week.
Take Cowboy. He always puts me in a good mood. When I see him, he always says, “Austin! How are you?” I’ve often heard him say that I am a really hard worker. This makes me feel really good inside because I know I’m making a difference in someone’s life.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then there’s Curtis. He’s a really big guy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All of these people make my day much better.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Then there’s Curtis. He’s a really big guy. People might be afraid of him at first sight because of his size. However, he is actually a little shy. I often offer to say hello first when we meet, and gradually he opens his mind, giving me a sincere “Hi” and talking with me about his recent life. Now he begins to communicate with more people and to my excitement, he even gets a great job offer.
All of these people make my day much better. When I don’t see one of them, I wonder if they are okay. The last two years have changed my life. I do this because it’s the right thing to do. When I serve people, I want them to know that someone cares about them and that they matter. Serving makes me happy, but even more importantly, it teaches me to love and respect others and that helps make the world a better place to live in.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述的是作者在教堂帮助无家可归的人的故事：每月有两个周六，作者和妈妈都会在教堂帮忙，为无家可归者盛饭，一开始作者很害怕，但和这些人接触久了，作者发现他们是很好的人。

②由第二段首句内容“所有这些人都让我的一天过得更好。”可知，本段是总结段，可以讲述这些人给作者的生活带来的改变以及让作者学到的人生道理。
2.续写线索：Curtis的外貌和内在差别很大——他发生的改变——这些人给作者带来的改变——作者学到的人生道理

San Diego
San Diego, located on the Pacific, offers enough outdoor attractions to satisfy all kinds of summer travelers. Families will enjoy exploring San Diego Zoo. No matter what type of traveler you are, the eye-catching architecture and beautiful gardens that make up Balboa Park won’t disappoint. And as for the beaches, San Diego’s variety of shorelines means you’11 never be bored.
Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor, Maine’s proximity (临近) to Acadia National Park makes it an impressive spot to hang your hat in summer. While the distance to the park is undoubtedly one of Bar Harbor’s selling points, you should save room on your route to explore this charming coastal town. Book a boat or whale watching tour on the bay or take a walk along the scenic Shore Path for inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Bermuda
If all you care about is being at the beach during your summer vacation, choose Bermuda. Temperatures during this time of year make summer the best time to catch rays on the sand and swim in warmer Atlantic waters. Chill out along beautiful shorelines such as Horseshoe Bay Beach (the most popular beach), Elbow Beach (the pinkest) and Warwick Long Bay (the longest).
Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s northern U. K. location means that warm weather is rare. Each summer, the city hosts the famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the world’s largest arts festival), drawing visitors from around the planet. Aside from this fun summer event, travelers can experience Edinburgh’s green, sun-bathing landscape.
1. Which place is suitable for every traveler in San Diego?

2. What can you do in Bar Harbor?

And as for the beaches, San Diego’s variety of shorelines means you’11 never be bored.(无论你是哪种类型的游客，Balboa Park引人注目的建筑和美丽的花园都不会让你失望。至于海滩，圣地亚哥丰富多样的海岸线意味着你永远不会感到无聊)”可知，Balboa Park适合各种类型的游客。故选C。

B
I was fifteen months old, a happy carefree kid until the day fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye. The attempt failed, but my mama, in all of her wisdom, found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed wholly, my face would grow up badly twisted, so my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. And as I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me.
I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Sometimes people, even strangers, asked me embarrassing questions or made hurtful remarks. When the kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that people looked at me in an unusual way, as if my appearance were my fault. I always felt like I was a freak(怪人).
Yet mama would say to me, at every turn, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” It became a litany that I relied on. She had started when I was young. She would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say, “If you hold your head up high, it will be okay, and people will see your beautiful soul.” She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide. Those words have meant different things to me over the years. As a little child, I thought mama meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.” As an adolescent, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they liked me. My mama’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes even if they couldn’t see it on the surface.
In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but on the inside, I still felt like a freak. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside.”
When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant it. My mama’s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others.
“Hold your head up high”, has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation.

The “butterfly effect” may be real, which is used to describe seemingly insignificant events that can have unplanned consequences. But there might be a more literal “butterfly effect” taking place right before our eyes, scientists suggest.
According to new research, insects actually carry electrical charges which can have enormous effects on the atmosphere, potentially influencing even the weather. The findings were published Monday in the journal Science.
Before you can understand that, you have to understand how electrical charges in the atmosphere work. The Earth’s atmosphere always carries an electrical charge to a lesser or greater degree, which scientists refer to as the Potential Gradient (PG). Scientists concluded that atmospheric electricity is primarily driven by natural weather events like thunderstorms and shower clouds, though factors like human pollution also affect it. Researchers, therefore, want to know how electrical charges impact clouds.
To confirm that honeybees carry electrical charges, researchers placed an electrical field monitor near a swarm of (一群) honeybees near the University of Bristol. They also placed a control monitor in a field where there were no bee swarms. The monitor near the bee swarm picked up an increase in electrical charge whereas the control monitor detected no such effect, confirming their assumption.
Second, the researchers wanted to calculate the insects’ electrical effects on the atmosphere compared to the electrical impacts of natural weather events like clouds and dust storms. They calculated the electrical charge of three different types of insect swarms. Most surprisingly, insects’ electrical charges can have just as significant an impact on atmospheric electricity as natural weather events.
The knowledge that insects impact the atmosphere’s electricity has bigger implications for science. PG affects the “movement of aerosols (气溶胶) in the atmosphere, and leads to charging of droplets in some clouds,” according to Hunting. Insect swarms likely won’t drive weather events like thunderstorms, but they could impact the movement of these atmospheric aerosols.
Further research will dive into this previously unexplored field of scientific research and may go beyond insects, since organisms like birds and microbes also carry electrical charges.
8 What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The background of the research.
B. The publication of journal Science.
C. The work of electrical charges in atmosphere.
D. The electrical effects of insects on atmosphere.
9. How did researchers conduct the process of experiments?
A. By using statistics. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By introducing concepts. D. By making comparisons.
10. Which has the least electrical effects on the atmosphere’s electricity?
A. Human pollution. B. Shower clouds.
C. The thunderstorms. D. The insect swarms.
11. What can we learn about the research from the passage?
A. Insect swarms are likely to drive thunderstorms.
B. Natural weather events lead to charging of droplets.
C. Both PG and insect swarms affect the movement of atmospheric aerosols.
D. Researchers have made controlled experiment between insects and organisms.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新的研究，昆虫携带的电荷会对大气产生巨大影响,甚至可能影响天气。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“According to new research, insects actually carry electrical charges which can have enormous effects on the atmosphere, potentially influencing even the weather.(根据新的研究，昆虫实际上携带电荷，会对大气产生巨大影响，甚至可能影响天气)”可知，研究发现，昆虫可能带有电荷，会对大气产生影响。代词“that”通常指代上文中的内容，所以“that”指代的内容为昆虫携带的电荷对大气的影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The monitor near the bee swarm picked up an increase in electrical charge whereas the control monitor detected no such effect, confirming their assumption.(蜂群附近的监视器检测到电荷增加，而控制监视器没有检测到这种影响，证实了他们的假设)”可知，研究发现有峰群的区域电荷增加，而没有峰群的区域未监控到电荷的变化，由此可知，该研究是采用比较的方法进行的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Scientists concluded that atmospheric electricity is primarily driven by natural weather events like thunderstorms and shower clouds, though factors like human pollution also affect it.(科学家得出结论，大气电主要由雷暴和阵雨云等自然天气事件驱动，尽管人类污染等因素也会影响它)”以及倒数第三段中的“Most surprisingly, insects’ electrical charges can have just as significant an impact on atmospheric electricity as natural weather events.(最令人惊讶的是，昆虫的电荷对大气电的影响与自然天气事件一样重要)”可知，昆虫的电荷与自然天气事件对大气电的影响是一样的重要，所以人类污染对大气电的影响是最小的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“PG affects the “movement of aerosols in the atmosphere, and leads to charging of droplets in some clouds,” according to Hunting.(根据Hunting的说法，PG影响“大气中气溶胶的运动，并导致某些云中的液滴充电”)”可知，PG影响大气中气溶胶的运动，根据下文中的“Insect swarms likely won’t drive weather events like thunderstorms, but they could impact the movement of these atmospheric aerosols.(昆虫群可能不会驱动雷暴等天气事件，但它们可能会影响这些大气气溶胶的运动)”可知，昆虫群可能会影响这些大气气溶胶的运动，由以上内容可以推断，PG和昆虫群都会影响大气气溶胶的运动。故选C项。
D
Maggie Perkins had been working as a teacher in Georgia for nearly five years before she decided to “quietly quit” her job. The decision didn’t mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract(合同) hours, nothing more and nothing less.
Perkins joins a larger online community of workers who have been sharing their experiences on TikTok. But as “quiet quitters” defend their choice to take a step back from work, company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm their career and their company in the long run.
In the wake of the global pandemic and the following Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction being at an all-time high. Disengaged(工作不投入的) workers cost the global economy about $7.8 trillion in lost productivity.
But with worries of an economic slowdown, and falling worker productivity, Johnny C. Taylor Jr., president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, warns that anyone who tells their business leader they are a quiet quitter is likely not to have a job for very long. He says companies have become sensitive to worker burnout, especially for employees who are working from home.
Gergo Vari, CEO of the job board Lensa, suggests another choice for quiet quitting: “loudly persisting(坚持)” . That is, allowing employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals. “When you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging and have a share in where the company is going,” he says.
Career coach Allison Peck says she views “quiet quitting” as a sign of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take even braver action. “Finding a new job, manager, team, or company that better fits you can improve your attitude towards work,” she says.
12. What will “quiet quitters” do in real life?
A. They quit their jobs. B. They work part-time.
C. They hate their jobs. D. They refuse extra work.
13. What consequence will “quiet quitters” bring?
A. A global economic loss. B. Less competition at work.
C. Conflicts between colleagues. D. A shortage of labor on the market.
14. In Johnny’s view, who do companies care about more regarding worker burnout?
A. Those working at home. B. Those taking several jobs.
C. Those just returning to offices. D. Those sticking to their duties.
15. Instead of quiet quitting, what should employees do according to Gergo Vari?
A. Find a more suitable job. B. Improve their work efficiency.
C. Get along with their colleagues. D. Speak up about their demand for the company.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。由于全球疫情和随之而来的大辞职潮，许多员工开始选择“安静退出”，重新思考工作的意义。不同的专家对此给出了不同的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she decided to ‘quietly quit’ her job”和“The decision didn’t mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract(合同) hours, nothing more and nothing less.(这个决定并不意味着离开她的职位，而是将她的工作限制在合同范围内的时间，不多也不少。)”可知，“安静退出者”选择不加班做额外的工作，只在上班时间内完成自己的工作。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction being at an all-time high. Disengaged(工作不投入的) workers cost the global economy about $7.8 trillion in lost productivity.(盖洛普6月份发布的《全球工作场所状况》报告发现，对工作的不满度达到了历史最高水平。工作不投入的工人给全球经济造成了约7.8万亿美元的生产力损失。)”可推测出，“安静退出者”产生了巨大的负面影响，给全球经济带来了损失。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He says companies have become sensitive to worker burnout, especially for employees who are working from home.(他说，公司对员工的倦怠已经变得很敏感，尤其是在家工作的员工。)”可知，公司对那些在家工作的员工更为关注。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数二段中的“Gergo Vari, CEO of the job board Lensa, suggests another choice for quiet quitting: ‘loudly persisting(坚持)’ . That is, allowing employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals.(Lensa求职平台首席执行官Gergo Vari为安静退出建议另一种选择：‘大声坚持’。也就是说，允许员工就他们的组织如何能为他们的目标服务畅所欲言。)”可推测出，Gergo Vari认为员工应该大声说出自己对公司的需求。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an early Saturday morning, about 5:30 am. My mom called to me, “Austin, get up! Time to go and serve the homeless!” I dragged myself out of bed.
I started serving the homeless when I was eight years old. I didn’t know these people would make such a big difference in my life.
Two Saturdays a month I go to the church and help get things ready for breakfast. When the gate is opened, people come rushing in to get coffee, juice or milk. They take their seats while breakfast is prepared, and then we begin to serve. We each grab two plates and carry them down the line as the plates are filled. Each person receives two pancakes, a scoop of eggs, hashbrowns, and two sausages. I walk to the tables where the people are sitting and set the plates before them. I always make sure that I smile. After I’ve served them, I ask if they need anything else and bring them whatever they ask for. Some say thank you, some don’t, but I don’t care. I’m there to serve them.
When I first started serving, I was a little scared. Some of the people were wearing clothes with patches on them and shoes with holes in them. They were not that clean and their teeth were yellow or missing. At first I stayed close to my mom most of the time, but after I got to know these strangers I realized that they were nice, friendly people. And the inside of them was often nicer than the outside. I started talking to my new friends and realized that there was no reason to be scared. After serving for a few months, I started to look forward to seeing the same people each week.
Take Cowboy. He always puts me in a good mood. When I see him, he always says, “Austin! How are you?” I’ve often heard him say that I am a really hard worker. This makes me feel really good inside because I know I’m making a difference in someone’s life.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then there’s Curtis. He’s a really big guy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All of these people make my day much better.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Then there’s Curtis. He’s a really big guy. People might be afraid of him at first sight because of his size. However, he is actually a little shy. I often offer to say hello first when we meet, and gradually he opens his mind, giving me a sincere “Hi” and talking with me about his recent life. Now he begins to communicate with more people and to my excitement, he even gets a great job offer.
All of these people make my day much better. When I don’t see one of them, I wonder if they are okay. The last two years have changed my life. I do this because it’s the right thing to do. When I serve people, I want them to know that someone cares about them and that they matter. Serving makes me happy, but even more importantly, it teaches me to love and respect others and that helps make the world a better place to live in.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述的是作者在教堂帮助无家可归的人的故事：每月有两个周六，作者和妈妈都会在教堂帮忙，为无家可归者盛饭，一开始作者很害怕，但和这些人接触久了，作者发现他们是很好的人。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后是Curtis。他是个大块头。”可知，第一段可以从Curtis的长相入手，介绍Curtis是什么样的人以及作者的善意对他产生的影响。
②由第二段首句内容“所有这些人都让我的一天过得更好。”可知，本段是总结段，可以讲述这些人给作者的生活带来的改变以及让作者学到的人生道理。
2.续写线索：Curtis的外貌和内在差别很大——他发生的改变——这些人给作者带来的改变——作者学到的人生道理
3.词汇激活
行为类
①敞开心扉：open his mind/open his heart/open up
②关心：care about/be concerned with
③重要：matter/be important/be of importance
情绪类
①害怕：be afraid of/show fear of/be scared of
②开心：happyjoyful
【点睛】【高分句型1】I often offer to say hello first when we meet, and gradually he opens his mind, giving me a sincere “Hi” and talking with me about his recent life.(when引导时间状语从句，giving…and talking…为现在分词短语作状语)
【高分句型2】When I serve people, I want them to know that someone cares about them and that they matter. ( when引导时间状语从句；两个that引导宾语从句)
