【试题】
Work-life balance is dead. By this, I’m not advocating that you should give up your quest to have a fulfilling career and a thriving personal life, and I am definitely not saying that you have to give up one to have the other. I also acknowledge that we have a work-life problem, but I’m arguing that the concept of balance has never been helpful, because it’s too limiting. You see, language makes a difference, and how we refer to things matters because it affects our thinking and therefore our actions.
At the minimum, most of us work because we want to be able to support ourselves, our families, and the people around us. In the ideal world, we’re all doing work that we’re proud of and that provides meaning and purposeto us. But even if your job doesn’t give you shivers of joy with each new day, working is a part of what each of us does and the contribution we make to society. When you separate work and life, it’s a little bit harder to make that connection. But when you think of work as part of a full life and a complete experience, it becomes easier to see that success in one aspect often supports another.
Losing your balance and falling isn’t pleasant. A goal to balance suggests that things could get off balance, and that causes terrible outcomes. It’s more constructive to think of solutions that continue to evolve over shifts in life and work. Rather than falling or failing, you may have good days or better days or not-so-good days. These variations are normal, and it’s more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and changing, rather than a high-risk enterprise where things could go wrong with one misstep.
How we talk to ourselves matters, and how we talk about issues makes a difference. Let’s bury “work-life balance” and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living.
【解析】
51.What does the author suggest by saying “The work-life balance is dead”?
A) The hope of achieving a thriving life is impossible to realize.
B)The pursuit of a fulfilling career involves personal sacrifice.
C) The imbalance between work and life simply doesn’t exist anymore.
D) The concept of work-life balance contributes little to a fulfilling life.
【正确答案】D
【解题思路】句意推测题。句意推理题需要根据上下句的关系来进行理解，故重点关注题干的后句。“By this, I’m not advocating…”第二句是作者不认可的观点，可进行理解，同时也可继续看下文，即看到四级常考命题点“but”：but I’m arguing that the concept of balance has never been helpful, because it’s too limiting. 由该句可知，工作生活平衡对生活的意义不大，对应答案D选项。
【干扰选项分析】A中不可能实现完美人生;B中的个人牺牲;C中的doesn’t exist anymore均未体现。
52. What does the author say about our use of language?
A) It impacts how we think and behave.
B) It changes with the passage of time.
C) It reflects how we communicate.
D) It differs from person to person
【正确答案】A
【解题思路】细节题。根据题干关键词“use oflanguage”来到文章第一段最后一句。“because it affects our thinking and therefore our actions. ”可得，答案为A，同义改写+原词重现。
【干扰选项分析】其他选项均未体现
53.What does the author say we do in an ideal world?
A) We do work that betters the lives of our families and friends.
B) We do work that gives us bursts of joy each new day.
C) We do meaningful work that contributes to society.
D) We do demanding work that brings our capacity into full play.
【正确答案】C
【解题思路】根据题干关键词ideal world回到第二段第2句：In the ideal world, we’re all doing work that we’re proud of and that provides meaning and purpose to us.由此句可知，理想状态下，我们做的工作是能够提供意义与目标的，对应选项C
【错误选项干扰】A在第二段第一句出现，为minimum最低限制下的内容而非理想状态，属于定位错误;B中joy在第三句，也不在理想状态下，定位错误;D中的capacity能力未提及。
54. What does the author say about life?
A) It is cyclical.
B) It is fulfilling.
C) it is dynamic.
D) it is risky.
【正确答案】C
【解题思路】细节题。根据题干的life回到第三段的最后找到定位句：and it’s more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and changing, rather than a high-risk enterprise where things could go wrong with one misstep.有此句可得：作者认为life是一个不断变化的，对应选项C，动态的。
【干扰选项分析】选项D在rather than后方，不选;选项B在下一段提到，定位错误;A为周期的，未提及。
55. What does the author advice us to do?
A) Make life as simple as possible
B) Talk about balance in simpler terms.
C)Balance life and work in a new way.
D) Strive for a more fulfilling life.
【正确答案】D
【解题思路】建议题。根据顺序原则来到最后一段，注意课上讲过的建议的表达形式即可来到第二句：Let’s bury “work-life balance” and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living.有此句可知，让人们从更好的角度来思考工作生活的满足感，及对应选项D。且more和better比较级保持一致。
