I was convinced that it was because my job was d
21、emanding, but as I changed my job and eventually became self-employed and I could call my own shots, I was still drowned in work and things were still out of control. Now I come to realize that I have a tendency to drown myself in work and the problem is not the job Im in.One of the reasons why work
22、-life balance is hard is that we attribute (把归咎于) the problem to our environment when we ourselves are the problem actually. I enjoy making my clients happy. “Dushka, your work is unbelievable.” “Dushka, we would not have survived without you.” This is my instinctive (本能的) desire. I, a good girl, sh
23、ould make someone I love proud. What can get in the way of work-life balance is that approval often matters more than the balance I claim I want.I am ambitious and want to do great things and as soon as a project is done Im hungry for the next one. I want hard work. I want to push myself and test my
24、self. I want to learn. Sometimes work-life balance is hard because there is a difference between what I say I want and what I really want.My life is constantly changing. If a friend visits me from out of town I want to work less, if I happen to be particularly inspired I want to work more, and if a
25、family member needs me I dont want to have to worry about work at all. Work-life balance is hard because my definition of it is a moving target. It means different things to me depending on different situations.What is work-life balance, anyway? Does it mean I get to go home every day when the clock
26、 strikes 5:00 pm? Does it mean that I work hard for a few weeks and then take a long weekend off? Do I want daily balance, or do I want things to balance out over the course of a few weeks, even months?On one side, work-life balance doesnt mean that the only way to do something well is to do it your
27、self. Your ego (自我) gets in the way of your being free. On the other side, work-life balance can be hard if you are worried that someone else can do your job better than yourself. Then you live in a constant state of suspicion (怀疑) and never allow yourself to step away. Your fear is calling the shot
28、s, not your ambitions.Work-life balance can be hard if you are more worried about looking good than doing good work. If you want to make sure everyone sees you are the first one to come and the last one to leave, what others think of you has more weight than your desire of getting home in time for d
29、inner.My boss assures me that employees come first and that people are the most important, yet I dont see him telling me its time to go home because I worked really late the night before.Wait a minute. Why should my work-life balance be the companys problem, in particular when Ive already identified
30、 that my needs are ever-changing? How can I expect someone else to stay on top of that? The only person responsible for that is me.4. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.

A【解析】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了工作与生活的平衡关系,作者以前认为工作与生活不平衡的原因是工作等外因造成的,而最后意识到真正的原因在于自己。【4题详解】习语猜测题。根据第一段中“I was convinced that it was because my job was demanding, but as I changed my job and eventually
34、became self-employed” 我坚信那是因为我的工作对我的需要很多,但是当我换工作并最终成为自雇人士时。结合句中的转折连词but可知前后句之间存在转折关系,前句表示我在为别人打工的时候工作对我的需要很多,因此后文意在表明换工作自己做老板后,可以自己掌控局面。故选D项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“What can get in the way of work-life balance is that approval often matters more than the balance I claim I want.” 在平衡工作与生活中遇到的关键问题是,得到认可通常比
35、我想要的平衡更为重要。可知作者喜欢让客户满意,因为她一直渴望被认可。故选B项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Work-life balance is hard because my definition of it is a moving target.”工作与生活之间的平衡很困难,因为我对它的定义是一个动态的目标。可知作者对于工作与生活平衡没有准确的定义。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“How can I expect someone else to stay on top of that? The only person responsible for that
36、is me.” 我怎么能指望别人为我的工作与生活平衡负责? 唯一对此负责的人是我。由此判断出作者想用老板的例子表明工作与生活之间的平衡取决于我们自己。故选A项。CWhen a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the oceans surface move up and down violently. T
37、hese waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, youd better steer clear of a ships wave, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn.A wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving acro
38、ss the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itselfthe pattern of motionis moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to th
39、eir original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wavethe peopleare not moving across the
40、stadium, theyre just moving up and down in their seats. This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. If youre not in an area where the waves are suitable for
41、 surfing, then you cant surf. Usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waveswaves that rise high off the oceans surface. If the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. The height of a wave is known as its amplitude. If you could make
42、a wave freeze, then you could measure the waves amplitude by running a tape measure from the oceans surface to the very peak of the wave.All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength. While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitudesometimes as small as a few centimetersthe wav
43、elength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. By contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long wavelength, as its a high wave.Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. For example, thi
44、nk back to the cruise ship. While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. However, if the ships e
45、ngines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. This would cause the waves amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.8. What does the phrase “steer clear of a cruise ships wave” in the 1st paragraph mean?A. Keeping awake while steering a ship.B. Getti
46、ng a clear view of what is ahead.C. Following the cruise ship very closely.D. Keeping away from the cruise ship.9. The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order to_A. illustrate(阐明) how excited people are in a basketball stadiumB. clear the confusion over measuring the waves
47、amplitudeC. explain why the water appears to move along the wavesD. demonstrate(证明) how to make waves in a basketball stadium10. The last paragraph gives us the impression that _A. the more powerful the ships engines are, the higher the waves they generateB. the amplitude of a wave depends on the di
48、rection the water moves forwardC. the waves amplitude may vary, but its wavelength remain the sameD. measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy11. What is this passage mainly about?A. What makes the sea water move forwards.B. How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea.C. Why
49、people create waves in the stadium.D. How waves are created and measured.【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。全文主要介绍了波浪的产生原理和测量方式。【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段中“When a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves.” 当一艘像游船一样的大船穿过海洋时,常常会产生波浪。和“If you are captaining a smaller boatso
50、 that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn.” 如果你要驾驶一艘较小的船那么船就不会在海浪上航行导致其翻船。可知此处意在表明如果你驾驶的是较小的船,那么为了不翻船,最好不要靠近较大的游船。故选D项。【9题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中“This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along wit
51、h the wave.” 这就像海浪中的水。大量的水在向上和向下移动,这使水看起来像是随波一起移动。由此判断出作者举了在体育场的人们发出的波动的例子,是为了解释为什么水看起来是沿着波浪移动的。故选C项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example,a larger cruise ship,with powerful engines,may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength” 例如较大的游轮,具有强大的引擎,可能会产生振幅大,波长短的波浪。由此判断出,轮船的引擎越强劲,产生的浪就越高。故选
52、A项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the oceans surface move up and down violently.”当游轮背面的大型发动机导致海洋表面的水剧烈上下运动时,就会发生这种情况。结合倒数第二段中“All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength.” 可以使用振幅和波长来测量所有波浪。可知全文主要介绍了波浪的产生原理和测量方式。故
