Someone - specifically the father-daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson - has figured out that on some American job sites, five generations are working side by side.In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and public speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify:They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Two. They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But theyre also stubbornly independent. They want their opinions heard.At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into todays more complicated, multi-media world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.You wont find many 15-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course, but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice-cream stores.The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues. The Johnsons point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, “Generations, Inc.: From Boomers to Linksters - Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work,” published by Amacom Press, which is available in all good bookstore from this Friday.1. The type of generation gap in paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs _.A. between managers and workers B. among family membersC. among employees D. between older and newer companies2. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Traditionals?A. Theyve learned much from war and economic disaster.B. Theyre difficult to work with as they are stubborn.C. They respect their boss and hope to be respected.D. Theyre independent workers with great confidence.3. According to the passage, the Linksters are usually _.A. found working in the offices of large companiesB. influenced by media and technologyC. enthusiastic multi-media activistsD. ice-cream sellers4. According to the passage, modern workforces are more diverse because _.A. people want to increase their average lifespanB. many young people are entering the workforceC. employees with different values can benefit their companiesD. retirement dates are being delayed for economic reasons5. Whats the main purpose of the passage?A. To promote a new book by Larry and Meagan Johnson.B. To describe the five different workplace generations.C. To introduce the Johnsons research about diverse workforces.D. To identify a major problem in modern workforces.【参考答案】15、C B B D A【浙江省金华十校2020高考英语模拟试题】Below are pages adapted from, http：/sochi2020com/en/Sochi Volunteers46Sochi 2020 Volunteer Training Program was launched on A30 May 2020 B11 March 2020 C16 December 2020 D19 September 202047“ White Stick Music Festival took place in ASochi BSt PetersburgCthe United Kingdom DMoscow48Which of the following statements is true?AThe 25 ,000 volunteers were from RussiaBWinners of Cultural Program Competition werent known until 19 September 2020CFrom August,25 to September,8,you were able to enjoy Winter Games in SochiDFew of the cultural activities were intended for creating atmosphere of Sochi Winter Games49From the two boxes, you can learn that the activities were listed according to Aimportance Bplace Cdate Dname【参考答案】4649、BDBC【浙江省2020模拟冲刺试题】Several weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasnt sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you cant simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite（怨恨）: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to. This was the first time hed used the card tactic（策略）. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组织).Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadnt enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. I know you dont care how merry my Christmas is, and thats fine, the gesture said. I want $30, or Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day. I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadnt yet been picked up: Someone stole Mickeys tip! Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. Are you Mickey? The man looked at him with scorn（轻蔑）. Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling. Not only had Ed insulted（侮辱） this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. Anyone else? Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under trash/recycling collectors in the institutes Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: $10 to $30 each. You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.55. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because_.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaper B. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person56. From the passage, we learn that the author_.A. didnt like Raouls way of delivering the paperB. didnt realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way beforeC. didnt know that Raoul delivered the paper for themD. didnt feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came57. According to the passage, the author felt _ to give Raoul a holiday tip.A. excited B. happy C. embarrassed D. forced58. Which of the following is true about Mickey, the garbage collector?A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.D. He collected both the check and the garbage that day.59. Eds encounter(遭遇) with the recycling team shows that_.A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake B. Ed only wanted to give money to RaoulC. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money60. From the passage we can infer that _.A. their garbage bin might not be emptied one day if the writer didnt give tipsB. the writer could have avoided giving tips if they had consulted the website of the Emily Post InstituteC. the writers husband didnt know Raoul at allD. the writers family was too poor to give the tips55. C 根据第二段中的I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past 和This was the first time hed used the card tactic可知Raoul是想要圣诞节小费。D中的“was afraid of”文章中未提到。56. B 根据第二段中的With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness可知作者以前并不知道Raoul这样扔报纸和发出噪音的原因。57. D 根据第二段中的I honestly hadnt realized I was supposed to可知作者是被迫付费的。58. B 根据第四段中的The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.可知他没拿到钱。59. A 根据倒数第二段Ed拿着钱包去问司机可知他拼命想改正原先未付小费的错误。60. A 根据Ill forget to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day. 可以推断出正确答案。【浙江省金华十校2020高考英语模拟试题】Most parents of kids under age 8 dont worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a childs use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar wayWe generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and youngerIt found that in 80 percent of families, childrens media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too or“ not at all concerned about it It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a childs learning and the development of creativityThe exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on childrens school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium, the researchers said in a news conference about the surveyThe findings exposes a generational shift （转移） in parental attitudes about technologys role in young childrens lives, said Wartella“Todays parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families） , media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%） Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video ga
