各位四级考生大家好，今年四级的本篇阅读以社会生活中常见的一种现象，“工作与生活之间的平衡”为主要话题，考查的细节题居多，其中还有一道语意题。本篇文章难度不大，除54题考查选项词意，难度有所提升外，其余四道题目均可从原文找到相对应的原词或者简单的同义替换词句。下面我们来看一下原文以及参考答案和做题思路。
原文：
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.
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.
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
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.
54. What does the author say about life?
A) It is cyclical.
B) It is fulfilling.
C) it is dynamic.
D) it is risky.
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.
51. “工作-生活平衡，这样的观点已经不行了”，作者说这句的意思是什么?
A) 实现蒸蒸日上的生活的希望是不可能实现的
B) 对一份充满成就的事业的追求包含了个人牺牲
C) 工作和生活的失衡不再存在
D) 工作-生活平衡的概念对充满成就的生活几乎作用不大
[试题类型] D 语意题
[解题思路] 首先根据题干信息中引号部分的内容可以直接定位到第一句话，紧接着通过下一句的this可知下文与上句有关。但是下文两个and并列的句子均为否定“I’m not advocating”和“I am definitely not saying”，所以可以认定这两个句子为题干的无关信息，真正的答案还可以继续往下找。紧接着第三句的后半句出现了关键信息“but, I’m arguing that ...”.那么这道题的关键信息就在这里，对应选项即可发现选项D和该句可以对应。“contributes little”和原文中“has never been helpful”相对应。
52. 作者是怎么看待我们对语言的使用的?
A) 它影响我们的思考和行动
B) 它随着时间的推移而改变
C) 它反映了我们交流的方式
D) 它会因人而异
[试题类型] A 细节题
[解题思路] 题干的关键词是language，所以可以定位到第一段的最后一句，将最后一句和四个选项对应会发现A中的impact和原文的affect是对应的，think是原词对应，behave和原文的actions对应，所以答案就很明显了。
53. 作者是如何看待我们在理想世界中做的事?
A) 我们的工作是改善我们的家人和朋友的生活
B) 我们所做的工作让我们每一天都充满欢乐
C) 我们做一些对社会有意义的工作
D) 我们做要求高的工作，充分发挥我们的能力。
[试题类型] C 细节题
[解题思路] 本题定位在第二段的第二句。由于第三句紧跟着but表示转折关系，后面说的是重点内容，所以这两句都是需要参考的答案区域。根据这两句话的理解“我们都在做自己引以为傲的工作，这为我们提供了意义和目标。但是，即使你的工作不能让你在每一天都感到快乐激动，工作也是我们每个人工作的一部分，也是我们对社会的贡献”，和选项C的意义相同，同时也有明显的原词对应。
54. 作者是如何看待生活的?
A) 是循环的
B) 是充实的.
C) 是动态的
D) 是危险的.
[试题类型] C 细节题
[解题思路] 根据题干的信息“life”可以对应到文章的第三段，在本段的最后一句“it's more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and changing”, 其中的think as对应题干所问的看法，所以本题的精准定位就在此句。另外本题难度在于考查原文中的evolving和changing以及四个选项的意思，所以只要找到定位并且知道这些选项的意思，这道题就会简单许多。evolving“进化”和changing“改变”，即和选项中的dynamic对应。
55. 作者建议我们做什么?
A) 让生活尽可能地简单化
B) 用更简单的术语来谈论平衡
C) 用一种新方式来平衡工作和生活
D) 为一种更充实的生活而奋斗
[试题类型] D 细节题
[解题思路] 上一道题定位到了第三段的末尾，按照题文同序的原则该往下一段寻找定位了。而最后一段的第二句“let’s ...”祈使句句式则对应选项中的advice，所以根据这一句话或者是这一句中所体现的对比关系可知，作者建议弱化“work-life balance”，而在建议“work-life fulfillment”，所以对应选项中的a more fulfilling life。
通过本篇文章及其题目可以发现，在阅读中考查文章细节的题目比较多，而做对这类题的关键则在于找准定位，对应选项。在对应选项的过程中也会出现简单或者稍微复杂一些的同义词句替换。所以准备四级的同学们一定需要注意在阅读中，踏踏实实积累单词以及综合一定的技巧方法是相辅相成的，平常的学习练习中，二者要注意同步提升。
