文章题材构造分析

本文选自《大西洋月刊》中7月28日的题为“WouldaWork-

FreeWorldBeSoBad?”的文章,重要描述对无需工作的一种未来

的设想和分析。首段引出猜测并设置质疑，第二段指出人们对“无

业的未来”感到焦急也许的原因。三、四两段进一论述和解读无需

工作的未来的优劣。

试题解析

L【解析】Co动词词义辨析。作家学者警示人们技术会替代人类劳

动。boast吹嘘、自负，deny否认，ensure保证，warning警示，

警告。

2.【解析】Ao上下文理解。根据后文富人会拥有所有资产，贫困地

区也会扎堆，可以看出此处想体现不平等的意思。inequality不平

等，instability不稳定性，unreliability不可靠性，

uncertainty不确定性。

3.【解析】Do词义辨析。policy政策，guideline指导方针，

resolution决心,prediction预测。该句意为：此外一种预测认

为...o从内容上看，空格之后的内容“holdsthatthefuture

willbeawastelandofadifferentsort,“该定语从句是对空

格词汇的修饰与阐明，既然文中用到了will这一种表达未来时态

的助动词，故答案为predictiono

4.【解析】A。动词词义辨析。该句意为未来社会的特点是无目的

性。

5.【解析】B。词义辨析，上下文理解。没有了工作富裕生活的意

义，人们会变得懒散沮丧。其他几项不符合题意。

6.【解析】Bo考察副词。Indeed实际上，那些失业者生活并不美

好。

7.【解析】Co上下文理解。前面提到失业的美国人在和工作的美国

人作对比。此外，前面提到unemployed。此处在进行对比，故选

择表达反义呼应的词workingo

8.【解析】Ao词义辨析。死亡率升高，心理健康问题等是由于没有

工资待遇很好的工作，这就解释了原因问题。Explanation符合题

O

9.【解析】D。介词辨析。没有受到良好教育的中年人中间这些问题

比较严重。很明显应当指前者的发生范围，浏览四个选项，

among”在...•中”表达范围，符合此处语义需要，故为答案。

10.【解析】C。固定搭配意思辨析。Worryabout紧张，leave

behind丢弃、使落后，makeup构成，setaside留出，把...放

在一旁。该句意为这就是为何人们紧张未来无工作的无聊。

11.【解析】Co副词词义辨析。Necessarily必然地，

statistically记录地，occasionally偶尔地，economically经济

上地。该句想体现并不必然的意思。

12•【解析】Bo理解上下文。前面说没有工作会导致不安，这些观

念是来源于在职业概念的社会中失业的消极面。

13.【解析】Ao固定搭配。Inabsenceof缺乏，inheightof

在…高度，infaceof面临，incourseof在…中。该句意为假

如没有工作，也就是inabsenceofjob。

14.【解析】Do动词词义辨析。没有工作的社会能为人们带来放

松。Yield有获得、带来的意思,disturb打扰、阻碍,restore恢

复、交还，exclude排斥。

15•【解析】Co词义辨析。根据背面工作的缺陷可以推测此处想体

现工作的长处被过度夸张了。virtue长处，好处。

16.【解析】Do词义辨析和上下文理解。休闲时间对工作人来说相

对较少。

17.【解析】A。词义辨析。闲暇时间来平衡人们的智力和情感需

求。

18•【解析】Bo词义理解。下班回到家感觉到疲惫。Starved饥饿

的。

19.【解析】Do固定搭配和介词使用。Throwinto投身于，throw

off挣脱，throwagainst扔掉，throwbehind抛开。投身到自己

的爱好之中。

20.【解析】B。词义辨析。某些需要专业技能的项目。并且此处空

格和前血的intensity形成呼应与关联。故此处professional符

/口K;卜五口人灯里Tn]由o

全文翻译

没有工作的未来会怎么样？人们就此问题已经臆测了数世纪，

目前还在继续，由于学者、作家、激进分子纷纷再次警醒人们，科

学技术正在替代人类工作者。有人猜测，那个即将到来、没有工作

的未来的重要特点将是不平等：少数富人拥有所有资本，而大众将

在贫瘠的废墟中挣扎。

有一种预测与众不一样，少些偏执且不互相矛盾。它认为未来

将会变成另类的废墟，以漫无目的为特性：没有了赋予牛.活意义的

工作，人们就会变得懒惰和消沉。今天的失业人群确实没什么好日

子过。

在一份盖洛普民意测验发中发现，有20%至少失业一年的美国人汇

报患有抑郁症，这个比率是未失业美国人的两倍。某些研究还表

明，死亡、精神疾患以及毒瘾的比率在受教育水平低的中年人中上

升的原因是他们缺乏高收入的工作。也许这就是许多人对一种“无

业的未来”而感到焦急困顿的原因。

不过，由诸如此类的发现未必就能得出结论说，没有工作的未

来将充斥着不满。这样的展望是以失业的消极面为基础的，而这样

的消极面只存在于建立在就业观念上的社会中。没有了工作，社会

追求的目的就会有所不一样，在这样的社会里，劳动和休闲将会别

有一番境况。如今，我们或许过度渲染了工作的长处。“诸多工作

无聊、不体面、不健康，是对人类潜能的一种挥霍，”戈尔韦市爱

尔兰国立大学的讲帅约翰•达纳赫说道。

现如今，由于大多数劳动者都相对缺乏休闲时间，因此人们就

运用自己的闲暇时间去平衡在工作中的智力和情感付出。“结束一

天的辛劳工作回到家时，我常常感到疲惫。”达纳赫说。他又补充

道，”在一种不需要工作的世界里，我的感受或许会有所不一

样”一一不一样到足以使他投身一项业余爱好或一种有激情的项

目，用一般只在处理工作时才会有的热情没入其中。

文章题材构造分析

本文选自7月5日的。eGuardian（卫报）。重要就“公园

跑”现象在英国的普及和发展进行了讨论。第一段阐明“公园跑”

在英国已十分普遍。第二段阐明伦敦奥运会的后续效应并没有对英

国人的运动状况起到积极作用，从而引出“公园跑”的积极作用。

第三段对比了奥运会和“公园跑”的不一样目的和产生的不一样影

响。第四段指出通过“公园跑”现象普及，探讨英国政府在群众体

育中发挥的作用。

试题解析

21.【解析】Ao通过题干可以定位在第一段，可以通过，每天超过

五万人跑步、引起了400场运动在英国和在国外等信息得知，公园

跑很受欢迎，由此可见，这是一种全民运动，与A选项的great

popularity互相对应，因此选A。其他选项，B发明了诸多就业机

会；C增强了社会的凝聚力；D成为一种官方的节日；这儿种选项

原文中都没有波及，因此排除。

22•【解析】Bo通过题干伦敦和奥林匹克遗产可以定位到第二段，

题目问的是伦敦奥运会的遗产没有做成什么事，题干中的failedto

可以对应第二段虽然看到了failing,但并没有答案。再往下看，，仑

敦奥运会承诺，人口将会更健康、更多冠军，但这并没有发生，not

happed才真正对应failedto.

23.【解析】Co这道题定位在第三段的中间，奥林匹克的倡导者相

反，想要更多的参与运动发明更多的精英。由题干中的关键词

ParkrunisdifferentfromOlympicgamesinIhat...可以'懂得

这是想考察Parkrua和Olympic的区别。追溯到原文，可以看到文

中的第三段第一句话：Parkrunisnotaracebutatimetrial.

从这句话可以排除A和B,由于A和B都和竞争有关，D选项可以从

这——段的这——句话：thereismuchjoyoverapuffed-out

first-timerbeingclappedoverthelineasthereis…可

知，Parkrun有诸多第一次参与的人，因此排除D。最终可以懂得，

答案选C,由于parkrun不是比赛，因此就不重视精英主义。

24•【解析】Do提到大众体育，作者认为政府应当投资公共的体育

设施。政府在第四段的中间，讲到政府应当训练的空间、用钱去铺

设网球场，这里是答案的同意转换，由此可以排除A,B,C,最终

选择D。

25.【解析】Bo最终一段but转折后说，继任的政府卖绿地、减少

当地政府的预算同步减少在体育方面的关注度，因此持批判态度。

由此可以得出答案B。tolerant:宽容的，容忍的；uncertain：模糊

的，不确定的；sympathetic：同情的，赞同的。

全文翻译

每周六早上的9点，有5万多名跑者在当地的公园启程跑5公

里。“公园跑”现象始于十几种朋友的爱好，并由此引起了英国以

及国外近400场赛事。成千上万的志愿者充当这些免费赛事的工作

人员，跑者的年龄从4岁到祖父母的年龄，他们跑5公里的用时跨

度从安德鲁•巴德利的世界纪录13分钟48秒到一小时之间。

“公园跑”的兴起的同步，伦敦奥运会的“遗产”却在衰落。

（所谓的“遗产”指的是伦敦奥运会的后效应。）十年前的一种周

一，第30届奥林匹克运动会被宣布将在伦敦举行。规划文献中承诺,

奥运会的伟大“遗产”就是让一种国家的休育爱好者们可以离开他

们的沙发，国民会更强健加、愈加健康并缔造出更多的成功者，但

这些还没有实现。虽然成年人每周运动量上升,到近200百万人参与

跑步，不过人口增长速度更快。更糟糕的是，锻炼人群的数字正在加

速下降。反对者主张将小学生每周至少两个小时的运动时间减少近

二分之一。肥胖在成人和小朋友中急剧增长。官方不停的反思为何

伦敦奥运没起到鼓励一代人的作用。而“公园跑”的成功提供了成

功的思绪。

“公园跑”不是竞速比赛而是计时测验:你唯一的竞争对手是时

钟，任何人都可以参与其中。当一名气喘吁吁的新手跑过终点线

时，掌声在快乐的气氛中响起，跑者身上也会闪耀着顶尖的高手的

光辉。相比之下，奥运会的竞标者的目的是想让更多的人参与运

动，缔造更多的优秀运动员。这样的两个目的互相交错会让新人感

到成功的压力从而心生畏惧。

实际上，有点荒诞的是，国家制定的规划却是以“草根（基层

组织）”为基础的，grassroots即小区体育组织。政府要在其中饰

演的角色应当是参与提供公共资源，保证有空间作为运动场所，保

证有资金来铺设网球场地和篮网球场馆,并制定规则让所有这些活动

得以在学校中开展。但历届政府都只负责卖绿地,压榨地方当局资

金，减少了对体育教育的关注。有价值的政策不是用嘴说的，未来

政府需要做更多来为运动发展提供条件，或者至少不会使它们变得

史楷。
