21、Many organizations learned in the past year that remote work can be highly effective，with 83% of employers surveyed saying that the shift to remote work has been successful for their company，according to a PwC（普华永道）study. In addition，54% of workers want to continue working remotely after the pandemic. Now that it's clear that where the work is done is not as important as people once thought，the other dimension of flexibility workers desire is the freedom to determine when the work is done. A 2019 study by the International Workplace Group found that 80% of workers would turn down a job that did not offer a flexible work schedule for one that did，and76% of workers said they'd consider staying at their current employer if they could work flexible hours.
According to a Microsoft Work Trend Report，the“9-to-5” workday is disappearing，as the increase in remote work has allowed for more flexible hours. Employees are increasingly working asynchronously，completing tasks on their own schedules，which may be different from those of their colleagues. Asynchronous work is now essential to being part of a modern，digital economy，staying competitive in the war for talent，and building a globally distributed workforce.
Tsedal Neeley，a Harvard Business School professor，told me，“Companies have to profoundly rethink what it means to be part of a modern work structure. This idea of‘9-to-5’or face-time culture is actually not helpful for a digitally advanced economy. ”She highlighted that underlying face-time culture is the need to monitor or see people in order to feel like work is advancing. However，this assumption that being productive requires seeing people do the work is not only limiting，but also wrong，as technology and automation are increasingly used to get work done and are inherently not as observable. Asynchronous work，she says，is“a completely new mindset in line with a digital economy”.
【1】Why do workers prefer the job which can offer a flexible work schedule？
A．Because the pandemic is still severe.
B．Because where to work is not important.
C．Because the remote work is more effective.
D．Because they long to be free to decide when to work.
【2】What does the underlined word“asynchronously" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Acting individually.
B．Doing something together.
C．Not happening at the same time.
D．Getting the work done cooperatively.
【3】Tsedal Neeley's attitude towards“9-to-5" culture may best be described as ________.
A．negative
B．approving
C．indifferent
D．neutral
【4】Which of the following can be the best title？
A．Improving Efficiency in Workplace
B．Breaking Free from“9-to-5”Culture
C．Protecting Employees from Pandemic
D．Adjusting Yourself to Flexible Schedule
22、E
Before we start a voyage, we usually try to find out more or less definitely where we are bound and how we are supposed to get there.
I happen to have the “Concise Oxford dictionary” on my desk and that will do as well as any other. The word I am looking for appears at the bottom of Page 344. edition 1912.
“Geography: the science of the earth's surface, form, physical features, natural and political divisions, climate, productions and population.”
I could not possibly hope to do better, but I still stress some of the aspects of the case at the expenses of others, because I intend to place man in the centre of the stage. This book of mine will not merely discuss the surface of the earth and its physical features, together with its political and natural boundaries. I would rather call it a study of man in search of food and shelter and leisure for himself and for his family and an attempt to his background or has reshaped his physical surroundings in order to be comfortable and well nourished and happy with his limited strength.
Among the two million human beings in the world, there is of course the widest possible range for all sorts of experiments of an economic and social and cultural nature. It seems me that those experiments deserve our attention before anything else. For a mountain is after all merely a mountain until it has been seen by human eyes and has been walked on by human feet and until its and slopes and valleys have been occupied and fought over and planted by a dozen generation of hungry settlers.
The Atlantic Ocean was just as wide and deep and as wet and salty before the beginning of the 13th century as after, but it took the human touch to make it what it is today—a bridge between the New World and the Old, the highway for the commerce between East and West.
For thousands of years the endless Russian plains lay ready to offer their abundant harvest to whoever should take the trouble to sow the first grain. But the aspect of that country today would he a very different one if the hand of a German or a Frank, rather than that of a Slav, had guided the iron-pointed stick that plowed the first furrows (犁沟).
The island of Nippon would shake and quake just as continually, whether they happened to be settled by Japanese or by the Tasmanian race, but in the latter case they would hardly be able to feed 60,000,000 people.
Generally speaking, I have paid more attention to the purely “human” side of geography than to the commercial problems which are so important in a day and age devoted to mass production.
【1】In the first four paragraphs, the author wants to share with the readers ______.
A. his approach to planning a voyage
B. his emphasis on using a dictionary
C. his definition of the word “geography”
D. his altitude to the earth's physical features
【2】Which of the following will the author NOT consider to be on experiment according to Paragraph 5?
A. Exploring a mountain.
B. Climbing a mountain.
C. Planting on slopes and valleys.
D. Becoming hungry.
【3】Which of the following is implied about the Atlantic Ocean?
A. It is wide, deep, wet and salty.
B. Human touch makes it important.
C. There is a bridge over it.
D. The highway is busy there.
【4】The author mentioned the Russian plains and the island of Nippon to show that _____.
A. they both feed a lot of people
B. they enjoy very good natural conditions
C. different people may make the same place different
D. their natural conditions haven't changed for many years
23、If you had to pick one, who do you think is greater in terms of their contributions to the Western world: British physicist Isaac Newton or Greek philosopher Aristotle?
Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision, at least right away.
But somehow, when it comes to picking a major at college, the decision couldn’t be easier: Science majors – the likes of technology, engineering and math – are the “wiser” choice because they’re considered to be useful, while studying liberal arts majors – language, music and philosophy – is believed to take you nowhere.
But if we take our eyes away from job skills for one second and look at liberal arts from a different perspective, we can see how important they are. In the BBC’s new documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters take us to 31 countries on six continents to appreciate human creativity, like Angkor Wat (吴哥窟) in Cambodia.
To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technological inventions, but also “those moments when human beings first began to create things that were not purely for food or shelter, but were there to be seen, and to leave a mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire”, he said.
In fact, by comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two. But to some of the greatest innovators in history, this line never existed in the first place.
Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was just as successful a scientist as he was a painter. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who, despite being an engineer, was also an artist on the inside. “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough – it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing.”
【1】What’s the main purpose of this text?
A. To introduce the contributions of great men.
B. To compare science and liberal arts majors.
C. To explain the line between science and art.
D. To warn people not to undervalue liberal arts.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Leonardo da Vinci was more successful as a painter.
B. It is the advanced technology that makes Apple successful.
C. People find it easier to choose a major at college than before.
D. There is actually no artificial line between science and liberal arts.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Many people consider liberal arts majors useless.
B. Physicists are usually more important than philosophers.
C. Innovators prefer to become artists on the inside.
D. The program Civilizations can let us enjoy human creativity in 31 countries.
24、At 18, I competed in my first marathon in Dublin, Ireland. At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what better than the marathon.
Back then, the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon.
On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard.
The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds. My limited memories from that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s important, the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn’t get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself.
After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love for running. Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They’re part of a global team and a global community.
【1】Why did the author take part in his first marathon?
A．To show his talent for running.
B．To win a prize in a longer distance race.
C．To attract the public’s attention to running.
D．To express his preference for 400-meter running.
【2】What impressed the author deeply during his first marathon?
A．He hit the wall and tried to struggle through.
B．He ran through a tunnel with other racers.
C．He nearly got lost due to the cloudy weather.
D．He received lots of encouragement from the crowds.
【3】What can we know about the author’s website?
A．It aims to help unite running lovers.
B．It has attracted large numbers of participants.
C．It attaches great importance to community spirit.
D．It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．A Good Marathon Runner
B．My Unforgettable First Marathon
C．Starting a Website for Runners
D．Being Brave to Challenge Ourselves
25、The days of the camera-carrying tourist may be numbered. Insensitive travellers are being ordered to _______ pointing their cameras at local residents. Tour companies selling expensive trips to remote corners of the world have become increasingly annoyed at the _______ of visitors upsetting locals. Now one such operator plans to ban clients from taking any photographic equipment on holidays. Julian Matthews is the director of Discovery Initiatives, a company that is working hand-in-hand with other organisations to offer holidays combining high adventure with working on environmental projects.
Matthews says he is providing 'holiday without _______, insisting that Discovery Initiatives is not a tour operator but an environmental support company. Clients are referred to as 'participants'. 'We see ourselves as the next step on from eco-tourism, which is merely a(n) _______ form of sensitive travel-ours is a more active approach.'
However, says Matthews, there is a price to pay. ' I am planning to introduce tours with a total ban on cameras because of the damage they do to our relationships with _______. I have seen some _______ things, such as a group of six tourists arriving at a remote village in the South American jungle, each with a video camera attached to their face. That sort of thing tears me up inside. Would you like somebody to come into your home and take a photo of you cooking? A camera is like weapon; it puts up a barrier and you lose all the _______ that comes through body language, which _______ means that the host communities are denied access to the so-called cross-cultural exchange.'
Matthews' views reflect a growing _______ among some tour companies at the increasingly rude behaviour of wealthy tourists. Chris Parrott, of Journey Latin America, says: 'We tell our clients that indigenous（土著的）people are often shy about being __________ but we certainly don't tell them not to take a camera. If they take pictures without asking, they may find themselves having tomatoes thrown at them.'
Crispin Jones, of Exodus, the overland truck specialist, says: 'We don't have a(n) __________; but, should cameras cause offence, our tour leaders will make it quite clear that they cannot be __________. Clients tend to do what they are told.'
Earth-watch, which pioneered the __________ of active eco-tourism by sending paying volunteers to work on scientific projects around the world, does not ban cameras, but operates strict rules on their use. Ed Wilson, the marketing director of the company, say: ' Some people use the camera as a barrier; it allows them to distance themselves from the reality of what they __________. I would like to see tourists __________ their cameras for once, rather than trying to record everything they see.'
