【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 s salary promotions. Male employees asked for an average salary of $146k while the females asked for only $141k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers. As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and my attention to others. I don39。t expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I39。m being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one39。s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it39。s safe to say I39。m 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker. I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They39。re constantly devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (洞察力) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they39。re changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them。 they39。re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.（1）We can learn from the first paragraph that ________. A.most people think they are giversB.people are not always givers or takersC.an individual is born to be a giver or a takerD.few differences exist between givers and takers（2）In Adam Grant39。s opinion, most people ________.

We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.”可知，我們根據(jù)每天面對(duì)的不同情況在兩者之間交替。我們有時(shí)是給予者有時(shí)是索取者。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.”可知，在Adam Grant看來(lái)，大多數(shù)人在尋求給予和接受之間的平衡。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段可知，哈佛教授調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)女子比男子更有可能是給予者，這表明這項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)集中于人們是給予者還是接受者的性別差異，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one39。s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed.”可知，作者不期望任何回報(bào)，但作者會(huì)在覺(jué)得他的善意沒(méi)有受到注意的情況下感到沮喪，所以作者認(rèn)為一個(gè)人的善意應(yīng)該被珍惜。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But the universe is slowly repaying them。 they39。re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.”可知，好的行為最終都會(huì)得到回報(bào)，善有善報(bào)。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for. For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (預(yù)算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使參與) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone. Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There39。s no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.（1）Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young? milk the cow. meet the farmer and his family. experience country life. enjoy the scenery.（2）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? author encouraged his customers to save their money for family vacation. author met new people and new things during the trip. trip helped the author understand the meaning of vacations better. author involved his kids in planning the vacation to cut their budget.（3）What is this passage mainly about? author had a good time in the countryside. author advised others to spend vacations with their families. author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family. author realized the value of family vacations and put it into practice.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者由小時(shí)候的一次和父母去農(nóng)村體驗(yàn)生活意識(shí)到度假的價(jià)值——認(rèn)識(shí)新事物，結(jié)識(shí)新朋友，與家人分享難忘的經(jīng)歷。這讓作者在后來(lái)給自己的家庭計(jì)劃假期的時(shí)候，也讓家人們參與其中，這樣確保每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)美好的假期。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life.”當(dāng)我還是個(gè)男孩的時(shí)候，我的父母和我從紐約到賓夕法尼亞的
