题文

I believe in leaving work at five o’clock. In a nation with such a strict work ethic(道德规范) , this is considered strange. Working only 40 hours a week? I just don’t know many people who punch out (打卡下班) at five o’clock anymore. My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and devotion to a career. But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs.My father, a lf-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired. His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer（糖尿病）. Despite all this, he insisted on traveling a long way to give a lecture. He probably earned a lot of money that day, but he paid the price. He returned to the hospital soon afterwards and was dead within three months, aged just 58.It’s been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night and since then, I’ve thought a lot about work. I’ve decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs exhausted. As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work mylf into the ground, physically or emotionally. Not taking my work home didn’t come easily to me at first. After all, I am my father’s daughter. In college, I was the girl who sat on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open. I even dreamt about schoolwork.My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunt; he had to be doing something as he looked at it—writing, reading, playing chess. You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in many languages. That’s an impressive list, but the thing is I want to gaze at sunts. I don’t want to meet a deadline during them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book.This rais the question: If I leave work at five o’ clock to watch the sunt, what are the conquences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, becau honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won’t earn me the best promotion. But hey, leaving work at five o’ clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and cycle through the streets of my hometown when there is no traffic.And I get to take in a lot of sunts. That’s got to be worth something.小题1:Which of the following about the author’s father is true?A．He t a good example to his daughter.B．He tried to force his values on his daughter.C．He gained much pleasure from his work.D．He achieved great success at the expen of his health.小题2:What does the author mean by saying “Not taking my work home did not come easily at first” in Paragraph 4?A．There was so much work to do.B．All her colleagues took work home.C．She was educated to be a workaholic.D．She wanted a promotion in her work.小题3:What’s the author’s attitude toward promotion?A．She doesn’t care about it at all.

答案

小题1:D小题2:C小题3:D小题4:A小题5:B

解析

文章介绍了我的父亲经常教导我努力工作的重要性，他在下午五点的时候很少按时回家，总是是加班加点的工作，很少有休息时间，看一次日落的机会都没有，正是这么兢兢业业的工作带来的劳累，父亲早早的去世了，我不想再像父亲那样，我要按时下班，可以骑着自行车走在乡村的路上，可以欣赏日落，尽管我可能有达不到专业顶峰的危险，也许我会失去好的晋升机会，但我觉得也是值得的。小题1:D细节理解题。His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer（糖尿病）. Despite all this, he insisted on traveling a long way to give a lecture. He probably earned a lot of money that day, but he paid the price.他的身体患有肝癌，还有糖尿病，尽管这些，他仍坚持去很远的地方做讲演，他也许挣了很多的钱，但他也付出了很大的代价。故答案应为D。他以健康为代价取得了成功。小题2:C细节理解题。Not taking my work home didn’t come easily to me at first. After all, I am my father’s daughter.刚开始做到不把工作带回家并不是容易的事儿，毕竟，我是我父亲的女儿。意思是说父亲从小就教育我要努力工作，要奉献给事业。所以答案应为C，从小就被教育要做一个“工作狂”。小题3:D细节理解题。Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, becau honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won’t earn me the best promotion. But hey, leaving work at five o’ clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and cycle through the streets of my hometown when there is no traffic. And I get to take in a lot of sunts. That’s got to be worth something.大意为：也许我有不能到达专业顶峰的危险，也许八个小时后停止工作不能为我赢得提拔------，但这一切我认为是值得的。故答案应为D。小题4:D综合理解题。本文以我父亲的经历为例子，父亲一生只知道忙于工作拿自己的健康做代价，五十八岁就去世了，而我更愿意去每天工作八个小时，下午五点下班后，我要和家人一起吃晚饭，还要看日落等等，是拿了父亲的事情做了例子，我才要这么做的，故答案应为D。小题5:D中心理解题。文章的最后一自然段点明了中心，我工作八个小时，五点后下班等等，这一切也许会影响我的晋升，也许影响我的专业，但这些牺牲比起我和家人一起吃晚餐，一起在乡村的街道上骑车，还有看日落相比起来还是值得的，所以是说要有一定的时间去享受生活是本文的主旨。故答案应为D。【考点】考查人生百味类文章的阅读理解。
