B Maggie Perkins had been working as a teacher in Georgia for nearly five years before she decided to "quiet quit" her job. The decision didn't mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract（合约）hours. Nothing more, nothing less. "If I didn't quiet quit my teaching job, I would burn out, " she says. Like Perkins, "quiet quitters" on TikTok defend their choice to take a step back from work, but company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm your career—and your company——in the long run. In the wake of the global pandemic and the Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction at an all-time high, with 60%reporting emotional detachment（分离）from work. Disengaged workers cost the global economy an estimated $7. 8 trillion in lost productivity and an economic slowdown. Now, companies have become sensitive to worker burnout. Gergo Vari, CEO of job board platform Lensa, advocates an alternative to quiet quitting: "loudly persisting”. That is, empowering employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals. "When 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging to the company, " he says. Career coach Allison Peck says she views "quiet quitting"as a symptom of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take even braver action. "Finding a new job, team, or company that better suit you can improve your mindset at work, "she says. Some workers, though, say that companies' concerns about "quiet quitting"are unfounded. Shini Ko, a software developer, has set limits on her hours and now runs a small-scale vegetable farm in her spare time. "It's negative and dangerous that we regard a healthy work-life balance as quitting, ”says Ko. “Can we just call it what it is? It's just working. " 24. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. An example of quiet quitters. B. An excuse for quiet quitting. C. The limitation of contract hours. D. The working conditions of teachers. 25. What's the consequence of "quiet quitting" according to the report? A. It cost the disengaged workers an estimated $7. 8 trillion. B. It caused the global pandemic and the Great Resignation. C. It held economy back and reduced workers' productivity. D. It resulted in employees' job dissatisfaction in the long run. 26. What can we infer from Gergo Vari's words? A. Companies don't have to worry about worker burnout. B. Companies should persist loudly to serve workers' goals. C. Employees can ask for a short break while feeling worn out. D. Employees can voice their opinions on the company's management. 27. What is Shini Ko's attitude towards companies' concerns about "quiet quitting"? A. Unreasonable. B. Unforgivable. C. Unexpected. D. Uncertain. C As Mark Meekan, a tropical fish biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Perth, spotted a giant shadowy figure moving in the Indian Ocean, he was diving to take samples of a whale shark's skin. The sharks, averaging around 12 meters long, spend most of their lives in 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 the deep ocean where they are hard to observe, so analyzing the chemical makeup of their tissues can help scientists learn more about their biology and behavior, including what they eat. The skin samples that Meekan collected reveal that whale sharks, long thought to be strict meat eaters, also eat and digest algae（海藻）. The findings add to evidence that whale sharks intentionally eat plants, potentially making them the largest omnivores on Earth. Although algae has turned up in the stomachs of beached whale sharks before, "everyone thought it was just accidental ingestion（摄取）, " Meekan says. To find out if that assumption held up, Meekan's team took tissue samples from 17 whale sharks feeding off the coast of Western Australia from 2015 to 2017. Whale sharks'skin was rich in arachidonic acid（花生四烯酸）that is found in brown algae, the analysis showed. The new work supports previous research by a different group that found algae-related nutrients in the skin of whale sharks near Japan. Together, the findings suggest that digesting greens is common practice for whale sharks. But that doesn't mean whale sharks are true omnivores, says shark biologist Robert Hueter. "This is a bit like saying that cows are omnivores because they eat insects while feeding on grass. ” Meekan admits that he isn't sure whether whale sharks seek out algae, but the amount they eat isn't incidental（附带的）. "Their tissues hold a remarkable record of what they've been up to, " he says. "We're now learning how to read this library. " 28. Why did Mark Meekan take samples of whale sharks'skin? A. To observe the living conditions of sea life. B. To discover the eating habits of whale sharks. C. To explore the biology and behavior of sea life. D. To analyze the function of whale sharks' tissues. 29. What can we learn about Mark Meekan's findings? A. It's common for whale sharks to take in algae. B. It's the first time to find whale sharks eat greens. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 C. There is abundant arachidonic acid in brown algae. D. There are algae-related nutrients in whale sharks' skin. 30. What does the underlined word "omnivores" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meat eaters. B. Animals living in the deep ocean. C. Living creatures. D. Animals feeding on meat and greens. 31. What message does Mark Meekan convey in the last paragraph? A. He'll find out whether whale sharks eat plants. B. He'll record what whale sharks have been up to. C. He'll figure out why whale sharks digest greens. D. He'll read more about whale sharks in the library. D The way I treat a clove（瓣）of garlic does not just change its size but its chemistry; the decision to slice or crush it will shape the flavour of the meal. Cooking can show us this: our actions matter. Through my work in the kitchen, I thought about what I had learned about time, about people and the world beyond me. Then I asked myself: What would I discover if I treated cooking as thinking? When I cooked for myself as an 18-year-old, I attempted to improve the flavour of a dish by adding more things to the pot. But frustratingly, these dishes tasted of less. A logic of scale failed here:more was not more. Then I came across a recipe for tomato sauce, through which I learned how small changes would cause a big difference. The first few times I made it, I was respectful towards the amazing transformation. But once I crushed the garlic instead of carefully slicing it, and the sauce tasted different. Another time I replaced fresh tomatoes with canned, which resulted in a watery mixture. When I documented all the times I had cooked it, I was suddenly able to answer questions that had escaped me in the library during my studies. I had been studying the broken relationship between language and the lived world for years. Through cooking, I saw how each time a recipe was translated anew in the kitchen. Therefore, life could be returned to language, reinvigorating（使复兴）it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 When I cook, I'm using the knowledge produced through the work of generations of cooks in kitchens all over the world. Unlike the knowledge stored in libraries, this is information that each person who uses it can rewrite in their own image. People who cook become part of a chorus. When I began to pay attention, I could hear their voices in a bubbling pan. Cooking is thinking, and there is knowledge on an epic（史诗般的）scale in a pan of hot red sauce. 32. Why is garlic mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To explain a rule. B. To present a story. C. To introduce a topic. D. To make a comparison. 33. What did the author learn from the cooking experiences? A. Crushed garlic tastes better. B. Fresh tomatoes work better. C. Sliced garlic ruins the sauce. D. More ingredients improve flavour. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. Life can bring language alive again. B. A recipe can be renewed by each user. C. The relationship between language and the world is broken. D. The inspiration from cooking helps solve academic problems. 35. What might be the best title? A. Less is more. B. Our actions matter. C. Cooking is thinking. D. Recipes have souls. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are of the "no regrets" school of life, you might think that all this regret is a reason for unhappiness. But that isn't the case. 36__________Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking about your past mistakes. Kill the ghost. People often say their regrets "haunt" them. This suggests that regret is like a ghost: not entirely clear but always awful. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. 37_________ Be honest without catastrophizing（小题大做）. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost. 38_____________ After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can't stop kicking yourself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making had you made it to graduation. 39_____________ So, make up your mind to exchange your emotional sentence with a simple oral declaration: "I will not waste another minute of my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed. ” Collect your diploma（文凭）. 40_____________ If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities in the past. Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful. So in your list of regrets, note how you want to change your behavior, and outline your determination going forward right now——and get started! A. Forgive yourself. B. Stop wasting time. C. Going to the other extreme
