32、e. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can
33、be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards
34、 which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer.Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or
35、initiative.Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring(明显的)forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.The most glaring ineq
36、uality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over
37、 their own and others working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It p
38、rovides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs(齿轮)in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated(疏远)from their work and their firm.()53. In the writers opinio
39、n, people judge others mainly by _A. the type of work they do B. the place where they workC. the time they spend at work D. the amount of money they earn()54. According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we _A. should create more working opportunities for the poorB. have to g
40、et rid of the unequal aspects in workC. had better cancel all managing positions in a companyD. should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency()55. What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?A. They wont be out of work. B. They get time off to learn constantly.C. They c
41、an work at what interests them. D. They have complete control over themselves.CIt started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.She didnt sha
42、re similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol(胆固醇)level was skyhigh. She had been prescribed a cholesterollowering statin(他汀)medication, but she never pick
43、ed up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in gen
44、eral, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internetand they have very real bad consequences.False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect(反安慰剂效应)”. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention(干预) simply because
45、they believe they willthats the placebo effect(安慰剂效应). The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients wh
46、o get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines(疫苗). False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatl
47、y reduced coverage rates.Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformationmany of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, theyre actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells，” one fake news story reads. It warns that pr
48、escription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations(变异)Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a freespeech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake informatio
49、n. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.()56. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _A. the woman paid little attention to her daily dietsB. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the womans heart attackC. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the wom
50、anD. the woman didnt take the prescription due to fake medical news()57. According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients _A. neglect necessary treatment B. discontinue the harmful drugsC. believe the benefits of an intervention D. suffer more side effects()58. What does the a
51、uthor mean by claiming that “he is not a freespeech lawyer” in the last paragraph?A. He is a lawyer very easy to speak to.B. He is good at speaking because of his job.C. He is available to give a speech on the law.D. He is very cautious when speaking something.()59. The main purpose of the passage i
52、s to _A. remind us to take medication as prescribedB. warn us against fake medical news on the InternetC. encourage journalists to report more positive news eventsD. teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the InternetDA story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Hol
53、te，a Hillsboro woman who quit her job to cosplay a 1950s housewife.Let me start by expressing admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams. Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. Thats the future our foremothers fou
54、ght for.But as much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage(复古的)life, which literally includes watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings(刻录碟片)，I think its important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers a
55、nd mothers fought against.For example, once I called my grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious biscuits she used to make that we would cover with butter and homemade raspberry jam on Thanksgiving.“Why would you want that？” she said. “Go to the store. Go to the freez
56、er section. Buy some premade biscuits and put them in the oven.”She straightup refused to give me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind, it was a waste of time.Getting off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five
57、 children wasnt fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually come along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed.She was basically a slave to those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day. When she wasnt trapped in the kitchen, she had to
58、 keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off.I know my grandma loves her kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have been
59、 a lot of thankless, mindless labor.No wonder everyone went allin on processed foods when they came around. Imagine the nice break something like a microwave dinner would give a woman working, unpaid, for her family every single day?I also had another grandma. She was a scholar who helped found the
60、Center for the Study of Women in Society at University of Oregon. She was a pioneering secondwave feminist who wrote books, gave lectures and traveled the world.But, she did all of that after divorcing my grandpa, when most of her kids were out of the house.Back then, in the 1950s and the 1960s, the
61、re was no illusion about women “having it all”. How could that even possibly happen? If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm_Syndrome now.And of course
62、, these women I am talking about are uppermiddleclass white women. Romanticizing the 1950s is especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women were treated back then, and the lack of education and choices available to them.Because the women in this country demanded someth
63、ing approaching equality, Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.We still dont have pay equality and in many states, we still dont have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white pe
64、ers.And while its getting better, women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a household and raising the children.But at least we can get jobs. At least we dont have to sew our own clothes, wear a full face of makeup every day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits
65、some ungrateful kids will wolf down, barely remembering to say “thank you”()60. According to the author, what is the future our foremothers fought for?A. Watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings.B. Having the freedom to make choices in their daily life.C. Making Cloud Bisc
66、uits for their kids and husbands.D. Making sure their kids and husbands socially acceptable.()61. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 13 refer to?A. Writing books, giving lectures and traveling the world.B. Divorcing husband when kids were out of house.C. Taking care of a family and wa
67、iting on husband.D. Womens illusion about “having it all”()62. What does the “Stockholm Syndrome” in Paragraph 14 really mean in the passage?A. Women have been used to the unfair treatment at home.B. Women nowadays like the way of life in the 1950s.C. Victims end up sympathizing with the abusers.D.
68、Women have the chance to live out their dreams.()63. The author thinks of the life of a 1950s housewife as _A. fantastic B. admirable C. awful D. unforgettable()64. What can we learn from the passage?A. It was a waste of time to give grandchildren the recipe.B. All women are not lucky to follow thei
69、r own dreams in America now.C. Housewives received recognition for their efforts from family members.D. The uppermiddleclass white women did a better job in running the household.()65. What is the authors main purpose in writing this passage?A. To show great appreciation to her grandmas.B. To call o
70、n housewives to claim the pay for the housework they undertake.C. To draw readers attention to the situations women face, especially those poor and of color.D. To arouse womens awareness of equal pay at work.第卷(非选择题共40分)第四部分：词汇检测(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)请认真阅读下列各个小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一

74、s in poor countries ensure their citizens remain fed? In the past, most of them used subsidies(现金补助)to keep food prices low for all their citizens. But these policies have become ineffective: the cost of maintaining Egypts food subsidies, for instance, nearly doubled between 2009 and 2013. And much
75、of the money goes to the wrong people. In Egypt and the Philippines less than 20% of spending on food subsidies goes to poor households. In the Middle East and North Africa only 35% of subsidies reach 40% of the poorest, the IMF notes.Motivated by a desire to control growing budget deficits(赤字), man
76、y countries are replacing broad subsidies with policies aimed more directly at the needy. But what form should the targeted aid take? Earlier this month Iran introduced free handouts of food to replace its subsidy method. Other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, have chosen instead to provid
77、e extra cash benefits to the poor. So far, food vouchers(代金券)have been the least popular option. Proposals to introduce food vouchers in such countries as Malaysia have been rejected on the basis that they were too American and unAsian.However, the researchers at the International Food Policy Resear
78、ch Institute(IFPRI) thought that might have been a mistake and analyzed the results of an experiment conducted by the World Food Programme in Ecuador, a South American country, in 2011, which compared handouts of food, cash and vouchers in the experiment. The study found that direct handoutsIrans ne
79、w policywere the least effective option. They cost three times as much as vouchers to promote calorie intake by 15%, and were four times as costly as a way of increasing dietary diversity and quality. Distribution costs were high, and wastage was also a problem. Only 63% of the food given away was a
80、ctually eaten, while 83% of the cash was spent on food and 99% of the vouchers were exchanged as intended. Food handouts have also been the costliest option in similar projects in some African countries, according to John Hoddinott at IFPRI.In Ecuador there was little difference in cost between hand
81、ing out cash and food vouchers, the other two options. But food vouchers were better at encouraging people to buy healthier foods because of restrictions on what items could be exchanged for them. It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by han

86、should I spend each month? This is asked by college students at the start of every term, and its become a hot topic of discussion following a controversial online post. The post was about a college student who demanded 4，500 yuan for monthly living expenses from her mom, reported China Daily.In the
87、post, this new college student explained that her school is in a toptier city and that her expenses included skincare products and new clothes. Her mother did not agree and “only” gave her 2，000 yuan.The post started a heated debate. Some people came to her defense. Girls invest a lot in skincare pr
88、oducts and new clothes while boys invest much in shoes, latest electronic devices and equipment for games.However, someone thinks 4，500 yuan is too much. According to a 2019 report, students in 15 cities spent more than 1，500 yuan a month on average. Beijing topped the list at 2，400 yuan, and Shangh
89、ai followed close behind at 2，300 yuan. In some cities, a parent may only earn a monthly salary of 4，000 or 5，000 yuan. Nevertheless, some students insist on buying Dyson vacuum cleaners(吸尘器)for their dormitories instead of common brooms. Others demand Apple laptops to study at Starbucks, instead of

92、nses that are far beyond the average, which was turned down by her mother. Opinions on this issue vary from person to person.The reasons behind higher living expenses deserve thorough reflection. First of all, it goes without saying that soaring prices for commodities along with constant increasing
93、investment in selfimage and selfimprovement, to some extent, give rise to such demands. In addition to basic needs, a large sum of money is wasted on unnecessary or luxurious things, which partly reflects college students irrational attitudes towards consumption.From my perspective, by no means can
94、asking for excessive living expenses be taken for granted. Despite the rising price, college students, especially those from poor areas, are expected to reduce parents financial burden by doing parttime jobs and making budgets instead of blind consumption.
