My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience.Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era，but my mother threw herself into motherhood.My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept.At lunch，my friends crowded around my lunch，the tastiest with enough to spare.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的母亲全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。如今，作者自己也成为母亲，尽管时代不同，但她也尽力做到最好，为孩子提供必要的关爱和支持。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education.Our big house fell empty.There was no help and even no phone connection.Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not.Back then I was occupied with my own needs；today，I realize my mother paid for my education with her tears.
If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights，her second quality built the foundation.When I was young，my mother displayed in me absolute faith and absolute love.In her eyes，I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix.She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love，but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world.My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain，or guilt.To this she added extraordinary generosity.Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that，regardless of who else judges me，my mother will not.
Currently I have my own kids.They are children of a different time.Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals.Sometimes，I must put my work above their needs.My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best.We may differ in our methods and tools，but the essence of motherhood remains constant.
1.How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph
A.By quoting a remark.
B.By giving examples.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By analyzing the cause.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中“My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept.At lunch，my friends crowded around my lunch，the tastiest with enough to spare.”可知，作者通过举出网球鞋和午餐这两个事例来表明她母亲的品质。故选B项。
解析
2.Which words can best describe the author’s mother
A.Optimistic and persevering.
B.Hard-working and demanding.
C.Devoted and selfless.
D.Cheerful and reliable.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中“My family moved to Melbourne...but my mother threw herself into motherhood.”和第三段中“When I was young，my mother displayed in me absolute faith and absolute love...live a fuller life than hers without bargain，or guilt.”可知，作者的母亲全身心地做好母亲的工作，用奉献和耐心培养作者，对作者充满信任和爱，让作者可以过更充实的生活。因此，作者的母亲具有奉献精神，是无私的。故选C项。
解析
3.What does the underlined phrase “good-enough mother” probably refer to in the last paragraph
A.A mother who pursues perfection in childcare.
B.A mother who devotes herself wholly to her work.
C.A mother who places her kids’ needs above all else.
D.A mother who tries to balance her parenting with her career.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“Today’s mothers have competing demands...put my work above their needs.”可知，作者作为母亲面临着平衡职业目标和个人目标的难题，需要处理工作和孩子的需求的主次关系，再结合下文“We may differ in our methods and tools，but the essence of motherhood remains constant.”可知，作者认为自己和自己的母亲有所不同，但同样体现了母性。因此画线部分指的是“一个试图在养育孩子和事业之间找到平衡的母亲”。故选D项。
解析
4.What can be the most suitable title for the text
A.The Art of Being a Mother
B.Lessons of Love and Strength
C.Motherhood：The Greatest Adventure
D.Motherhood：A Journey of Sacrifice and Strength
√
标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕作者的母亲展开，讲述了她全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。作者离开家接受更好的教育后，母亲希望孩子们能拥有她未曾拥有的机会。她对作者的绝对信任和爱以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。因此，D项“母亲角色：一段充满牺牲和力量的旅程”概括了作者母亲身上的特质，最契合文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。
解析
B(此篇精读)
How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out①？Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board.But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过引用实例、研究数据和报告，分析了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的影响。
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs，helping to create an engaged and higher-performing workplace.In turn they receive promotions② and pay rises.They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation.But it is not all rosy.People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer，according to a 2021 academic paper.They might overlook③ wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption.Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behavior.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winners of employee loyalty.Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business published in 2023，found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals.Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John，who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down.They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay.Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair.Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However，Consultancy Gallup’s latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122,416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work.“You can’t guarantee anyone will stick around these days，” says a consultant who advises boards.This is particularly true of younger generations.They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression，seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
5.What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in paragraph 1
A.Open AI’s staff loyalty is quite high.
B.Staff loyalty’s rosy side in the work.
C.Sam Altman could count on his employees.
D.This level of loyalty is not always good.
推理判断题。根据第一段可知，Sam Altman在被Open AI突然解雇后得到了700多名员工的支持，董事会因此迅速恢复了他的职位。由此可知，作者在第一段提到Sam Altman是为了说明员工忠诚在工作中的好的一面。故选B。
解析
√
6.How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research
A.Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John.
B.By creating different situations to ask John to take on more unpaid
work.
C.By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of
John.
D.By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and
honest.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional...They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay.”可知，Stanley通过让经理们决定John的工作安排来进行他的研究。故选C。
解析
7.What can you learn from the passage
A.Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees.
B.Younger generations are more patient towards their employers.
C.Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing.
D.Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Research led by Matthew Stanley at...found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals.”和“Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.”可知，管理层可能利用忠诚度来剥削员工。故选A。
解析
√
8.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.How Does Job Loyalty Affect the Work Environment
B.Why Is Staff Loyalty Not Always a Good Thing
C.Are Loyal Employees More Likely to Be Promoted
D.Does Work Loyalty Help Career Progress More Quickly
√
标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段中“But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.”可知，在这篇文章中，作者主要讨论了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的影响，特别是强调了高忠诚度并不总是好事，有时可能损害公司利益和员工权益。选项B“为什么员工的忠诚并不总是一件好事？”最能够概括文章的主要观点，适合作标题。故选B。

My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience.Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era，but my mother threw herself into motherhood.My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept.At lunch，my friends crowded around my lunch，the tastiest with enough to spare.
My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education.Our big house fell empty.There was no help and even no phone connection.Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not.Back then I was occupied with my own needs；today，I realize my mother paid for my education with her tears.
If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights，her second quality built the foundation.When I was young，my mother displayed in me absolute faith and absolute love.In her eyes，I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix.She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love，but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world.My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain，or guilt.To this she added extraordinary generosity.Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that，regardless of who else judges me，my mother will not.
Currently I have my own kids.They are children of a different time.Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals.Sometimes，I must put my work above their needs.My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best.We may differ in our methods and tools，but the essence of motherhood remains constant.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的母亲全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。如今，作者自己也成为母亲，尽管时代不同，但她也尽力做到最好，为孩子提供必要的关爱和支持。
1．How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph
A．By quoting a remark.
B．By giving examples.

B(此篇精读)
How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out①？Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board.But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs，helping to create an engaged and higher-performing workplace.In turn they receive promotions② and pay rises.They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation.But it is not all rosy.People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer，according to a 2021 academic paper.They might overlook③ wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption.Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behavior.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winners of employee loyalty.Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business published in 2023，found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals.Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John，who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down.They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay.Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair.Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However，Consultancy Gallup’s latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122,416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work.“You can’t guarantee anyone will stick around these days，” says a consultant who advises boards.This is particularly true of younger generations.They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression，seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过引用实例、研究数据和报告，分析了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的影响。
5．What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in paragraph 1
A．Open AI’s staff loyalty is quite high.
B．Staff loyalty’s rosy side in the work.
C．Sam Altman could count on his employees.
D．This level of loyalty is not always good.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，Sam Altman在被Open AI突然解雇后得到了700多名员工的支持，董事会因此迅速恢复了他的职位。由此可知，作者在第一段提到Sam Altman是为了说明员工忠诚在工作中的好的一面。故选B。
6．How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research
A．Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John.
B．By creating different situations to ask John to take on more unpaid work.
C．By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of John.
D．By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and honest.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional...They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay.”可知，Stanley通过让经理们决定John的工作安排来进行他的研究。故选C。
7．What can you learn from the passage
A．Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees.
B．Younger generations are more patient towards their employers.
C．Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing.
D．Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Research led by Matthew Stanley at...found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals.”和“Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.”可知，管理层可能利用忠诚度来剥削员工。故选A。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．How Does Job Loyalty Affect the Work Environment
B．Why Is Staff Loyalty Not Always a Good Thing
C．Are Loyal Employees More Likely to Be Promoted
D．Does Work Loyalty Help Career Progress More Quickly
答案　B
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段中“But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.”可知，在这篇文章中，作者主要讨论了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的影响，特别是强调了高忠诚度并不总是好事，有时可能损害公司利益和员工权益。选项B“为什么员工的忠诚并不总是一件好事？”最能够概括文章的主要观点，适合作标题。故选B。
[语境猜词]
①force out 迫使……离开(某个职位或居所)
②promotion(派)＝promot(e)＋ion n．提拔；晋升
③overlook(派)＝over＋look v．忽视，忽略
[句式分析]
They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression，seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
分析：此句为复合句。seeing little benefit...为现在分词短语作状语；if引导条件状语从句。
翻译：他们对老板的信任度较低，在职业发展方面也没有那么耐心，如果不能很快看到结果，他们便认为低头服从命令几乎没有什么好处。
