【正文】 孩子在學習，就業(yè)和生活上帶來負面影響這一問題進行了討論。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的Suffering from the family problems, many children face a greater and greater possibility of repeating the poor outes of their parents.很多遭遇家庭孩子更有可能重蹈父母的覆轍，可知，這些孩子很有可能過和父母一樣的生活。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第四段中的“But for some families, worklessness, or not employment, is the norm.”但是對于一些家庭來說，失業(yè)和不就業(yè)是一個典型的例子。聯(lián)系上文可知，一般的失業(yè)家庭是因為疾病，就業(yè)壓力等外部原因。但此處提到的家庭是they just choose not work自己選擇不工作,所以這種家庭是典型例子。故選C。 （3）考查段落大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ In doing so, we should know the need to understand the plex issues that some families face and to develop a new approach to deal with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overe the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them”在這樣做的時候，我們應該知道有必要了解一些家庭面臨的復雜問題，并制定一種處理貧窮問題的新辦法。因為根本原因不是經(jīng)濟原因。它是幫助家庭克服他們所面臨的問題，使他們能夠盡其所能地發(fā)揮他們的才能并努力工作。可知，本段主要講幫助那些失業(yè)家庭的方法。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“We all want to help workless families with plex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain. We all want parents to have the chance to go out to earn a living and to enjoy the pleasure of work, so that their children can benefit from the good examples of working parents.”我們想要幫助情況復雜的無就業(yè)家庭，這樣他們的孩子就可以利用在英國的機會。我們想要父母出去掙錢，享受工作的樂趣，這樣孩子也可以從父母的榜樣中受益，表達了想幫助這些家庭的強烈愿望，和殷切希望。所以短文的目的是呼吁讀者幫助無就業(yè)家庭的孩子。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Ronald Reagan ever said, It39。s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance? To some extent, extra effort seems to be selfdefeating. Studies suggest that, after 50 hours a week, employee productivity falls sharply. But that doesn39。t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 . to 9 ., 6 days a week, as a huge blessing. Apparently, presenteeism (出勤主義) is the curse of the modern office worker. There will be days when you do not have much to do: perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different pany, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy. Some of this may be a selfcontinuing cycle. If bosses do not like to go home before their employees, and employees fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees39。 performance, use time in the office as a measure. The consequence is often wasted effort. We pretend to work and managers pretend to believe us. Rather than work hard, you try to make bosses think that you are. Leaving a jacket on your office chair, walking around purposefully with a notebook and sending out s at odd hours are three of the bestknown tricks. After a while this can result in collective selfdelusion that this pretence is actual work. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. It is perhaps most mon in Japan, where people attend the office even when they are in disfort. In doing so, they are doing neither themselves nor their employers any favours. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. Those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression. In the evolution of humanity, presenteeism is a recent phenomenon. In the industrial era, workers were paid not for their output but for their time, and were required to clock in and out. But modern machinery like smartphones and laptops is portable. Turning an office into a prison, with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.（1）What can we learn from Paragraph2and Paragraph 3?

But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy. 這說明員工往往要加班。故答案為A。 （2）詞義猜測題。對this所在段落進行三句讀。Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting inmaximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees39。 performance, use time in the office as a measure.（員工可能會覺得，如果他們沒有盡最大努力工作，就不會得到加薪或升職。這很容易與長時間工作混淆。經(jīng)理們通常不善于判斷員工的表現(xiàn)，他們把在辦公室的時間作為衡量標準。）因此this指的是putting in maximum effort。故答案為C。 （3）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段我們可知后果是：人們即使在不舒服的時候也會去上班，會降低生產(chǎn)率，還會增加雇主的醫(yī)療費用。這些工人更容易遭受更大的痛苦和抑郁。故答案為D。 （4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段原文可知In the evolution of humanity, presenteeism is a recent 。To be produc
