Over the past few years, the amunt and types f data available n the Internet and, in particular, the speed at which we can prcess the data, have increased t an extent few peple culd have imagined. As a result, many new business mdels have appeared.
One such mdel is a large crpratin arranging t have anther cmpany, ften lcated in a different cuntry, perfrm essential tasks. This became pssible with the grwth f reliable and secure cmmunicatins and the ability t mve massive amunts f data ver lng distances in an instant. A cmpany in the United States, fr instance, first scans all its bills, rders, and wage payments int the cmputer and sends the dcuments t an accunting center in, say, Csta Rica. Basic accunting activity is then carried ut at that site. Next, the data is returned via the Internet t the riginal cmpany, where high- level analysis is dne.
A secnd mdel is ne in which wrk is divided int smaller, mre specific tasks perfrmed by individuals in different gegraphical lcatins. Fr example, specialists living at a great distance frm each ther can wrk tgether t prduce a new semicnductr (半导体) design. A member f the grup living in Califrnia des sme initial wrk n the prject and uplads the result nt a server. A clleague in Japan makes further additins t the design. Next, smene in Israel accesses it and des his/her part f the jb. Finally the grup member in Califrnia dwnlads it and gives it a final check. Thus, specialists in different parts f the wrld team cperate t cmplete a single prject.
Nw, mre and mre peple are taking advantage f the career pprtunities that the IT Revlutin has pened up. In this way, the best talent in the wrld can be chsen fr each task wherever he r she is.
8．What factrs are mst cnsidered by thse cmpanies using the first mdel?
A．Safety and rapidity.B．Origin and ppularity.
C．Lcatin and material.D．Ecnmy and eclgy.
9．Which prject culd take the secnd business mdel?
A．T set up a pet hspital.B．T hld the Olympic Games.
C．T create a travelling guidebk.D．T rganizing an imprtant exam.
10．What is the benefit the IT Revlutin brings accrding t the text?
A．Simplifying wrkers' schedules.B．Increasing the career pprtunities.
C．Satisfying the demand f custmers.D．Reducing the cst f ding business.
11．Which f the fllwing might the authr agree with?
A．All the wrk can be dne digitally.
B．Ding business relies n lcatin less and less.
C．Specialists dn't need t g t cmpany.

Fr thse wh dn’t decide their wn wrking hurs, a trial f fur-day wrkweeks f 35-hur wrk weekly withut a drp in pay amng 2500 wrkers in Iceland has shwn the ld schedule may truly nt be the mst prductive frm f labr (劳动). The reprt, cnducted by the research rganizatin Autnmy and the Assciatin fr Sustainability and Demcracy, fund that negative markers like burnut (过度劳累), stress, necessary vertime, and discnnectin with friends and family all went dwn, as wuld be expected, but that prductivity remained at wrst unchanged, and ften imprved in thse wrking shrter hurs.
The trials were such a success that fllwing their cnclusin in 2019,Mass renegtiatin (重新协商)by labr unins means that 86% f Icelanders are nw wrking nn-traditinal wrkweeks which culd include 5-t-6-hur wrking days r fur-day wrking weeks.
“This study shws that the wrld’s largest-ever trial f a shrter wrking week was a success,” said Will Strnge, directr f Autnmy.
The main argument is that “burnut” depletes the ability f wrkers t be prductive. A lack f prductin will smetimes result in a demand fr vertime, especially by managers, further increasing burnut and decreasing prductivity. In thse wh cannt affrd t be less prductive, like nurses fr example, burnut simply results in negative health utcmes.
Hping t see if they culd replicate (复制)the prductivity gains in ther cuntries, the Reykjavid City Cuncil started this trial, mstly at public ffices, but als in private firms, t measure perfrmance and wrker well-being fr fur years.
Cmpared with nn-participating firms r ffices, prductivity remained the same r increased in thse participating, but it wasn’t free. Instead, as necessity is the mther f inventin, a srt f mass re-imagining f peratins was needed t achieve prductin r service gals with the reduced hurs. This invlved,as the reprt details, the shrtening r early ending f meetings, and ften a ttal rerganizatin f wrk prcesses t find where prblems culd be remved.

A．Fur-day wrkweeks are mst prductive.
B．Reducing regular wrk hurs has many benefits.

A．They felt sad fr mst Icelanders.
B．They became wrried abut wrkers’ prductivity.
C．They knew it was time fr a change.
D．They decided t encurage hard wrk.

Are yu a big sprts fan? If s, chances are that yu’ve read articles by a sprts reprter. The writer may have brken dwn a game r described ne f yur favrite athletes.
Sean Gregry is a senir sprts reprter fr TIME magazine. He thinks that a sprts reprter nt nly ges t games but writes interesting articles. Like all gd reprters, Gregry takes specific steps t write an attractive stry.
First, he decides which peple he wants t interview. Gregry says that getting varius perspectives n a sprt, an event, r a player adds interesting layers (层面) t an article. That’s why he desn’t talk t just athletes but als t caches and the audience.
Next, Gregry puts tgether a list f questins. He says the questins are intended t “bring abut exciting answers and a gd cnversatin.”
Finally, sprts reprters als need t understand data cllected by sprts analysts (分析家), wh use the data t make a guess. Emily Kaplan, a sprts reprter fr ESPN, says that writing abut sprts includes analyzing which players are mst effective and valuable. “The way that we quantify (量化) a lt f thse things is thrugh the data and math,” she says.
Many sprts were canceled in the spring because f the pandemic (疫情). Sme restarted ver the summer and fall. As a safety measure, reprters are nt permitted t g t games, nr are they allwed t g nly in small numbers. Gregry hasn’t been t a game in mnths. He speaks t players nline, but he misses being able t chat with fans at events. “Smetimes, they say funny things that make stries lively,” Gregry says.
Fr nw, many sprts reprters are busy writing articles that take place ff the field, curt, r skating area. Fr example, Kaplan wrte abut hw the pandemic affected the finances f the wners f sprts clubs. Gregry reprted n hw pandemic shutdwns are affecting athletes’ mental health. “What this pandemic has taught all f us is that we just need t find ways t adapt,” Kaplan says. “And we’ll adapt again when things are nrmal.”

【解析】
【导语】
本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和母亲在作者未来职业的选择上存在着很大分歧。
1．
词义猜测题。根据文章第一句“It feels like every time my mther and I start t have a cnversatin, it turns int an argument. We talk abut smething as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mther will push the cnversatin int the Third Wrld War.（我感觉每次我和妈妈开始交谈时，都会变成争吵。我们谈论一些简单的事情，比如晚餐计划，突然我母亲就把这个话题推到了第三次世界大战。”可知作者和母亲即使是简单的谈话，都会产生争执，像被推向世界大战一样，本处的划线单词“push”有某一方用自己的力量强迫某人做某事或将某事置于某种境界的意思，在本文的意思想强迫作者改变与她母亲不一样的观点，所以才会争吵，一个简单谈话像被推向世界大战一样；选项B“t encurage r frce smene t d smething r t wrk hard（鼓励或强迫某人做某事或努力工作）”与划线单词push意思相近，都是表示某一方用自己的力量去强迫另一方做某事的意思；故选B项。
2．
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She’ll talk abut my lack f bright future because I dn’t plan t be a dctr. And much t her disappintment, I dn’t want t d any jb related t science, either. In fact, when I was pushed t say that I planned t majr (主修) in English, she nearly had a heart attack.（她会说我前途渺茫因为我不打算当医生。令她失望的是，我也不想做任何与科学有关的工作。事实上，当我被逼说我打算主修英语时，她差点心脏病发作。）”可知作者和他母亲在职业选择上面是有很大分歧的，作者母亲让他当医生；作者不愿意；文章第二段““Why can’t yu be like my c-wrker’s sn?” she shuts all the time. Her c-wrker’s sn received a fur-year schlarship and is nw earning 70,000 dllars a year as an engineer.（“你为什么不能像我同事的儿子一样?”她总是大喊大叫。她同事的儿子获得了四年的奖学金，现在是一名年薪7万美元的工程师。）”可知作者母亲同事的儿子是优秀的，不但获得了四年的奖学金，选现在还成为一名工程师，获得好的名声和薪水；作者母亲想通过这个例子来说服作者去当医生，因为这是他母亲想要的结果。故选A项。
3．
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I understand why my mther is wrried abut my future majr. I’ve seen my mther struggle t raise me n her small salary and wrk lng hurs. She leaves the huse arund 6:30 am and usually cmes back hme arund 5:00 pm r even 6:00 pm.（我明白为什么我妈妈担心我未来的专业。我见过我妈妈用她微薄的薪水和长时间的工作来养活我。她在早上 6:30 左右离开家，通常在下午5:00甚至下午6:00左右回家。）”可知作者母亲自己的薪水微薄，而且要工作很长时间，养活作者很不容易，日子过得很艰难，所以推知作者母亲想让作者以后能够有好的工作，有好的薪水来让他们的日子好过一点，故作者母亲反对作者的专业的是因为她自己的日子很艰难，在生活中挣扎；故选D项。
