第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） When I met a friend recently, I asked him how work was. “Oh, not that busy, I’m just coasting,” he said. He’s not alone. According to a recent poll, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were “coasting” at work. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is nonsense. According to a study by researchers at Oxford University, we do not, in fact, spend more time working than we have in the past. On some measures, the amount we work has gone down. Instead, many people just have jobs filled with tasks that don’t really need to be done.
The way we look at coasting has radically changed. In the past, being relaxed and not burdened with too much work within your organisation was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important. If you are not extremely overburdened, then you are seen as a slacker, a lazy person.
This does not make sense. Most people are not as busy as they say they are. In fact, most pressing tasks at work are often unrelated to productivity. Many busy people are actually overburdened with telling others how busy they are. Being overly-focused on your job may make you feel important, but it’s likely to annoy friends, co-workers and your family. What’s more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you. A Cornell University study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of wellbeing than those who are more relaxed. The researchers also found that being super-busy is bad for your career. Those who reported working very intensely were associated with poorer career outcomes.
So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being too busy, and certainly not talking continuously about how busy you are. We should remember Bertrand Russell’s adage: “One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important.”
1、What can we infer from the findings of the Oxford University study?
A．People have a false impression about how busy they are at work.
B．Less busy employees have a greater likelihood of promotion.
C．One third of employees don’t consider themselves to be busy.
D．People overburdened at work are likely to feel more energised.
2、In the 19th century which of these people would probably have been the LEAST busy in their job?
A．A bank clerk.
B．A bank owner.
C．An office cleaner.
D．An office secretary.
3、Why might “coasters” actually be successful in their work?
A．They do not feel threatened by a challenging task.
B．They work more co-operatively with their colleagues.
C．They are able to focus on the most important and necessary tasks.
D．They are often more intelligent and able to complete their work faster.
4、Which of the following best summarizes the author’s attitude?
A．He expresses no personal opinion about the topic.
B．He thinks that lazy people are in fact the best workers.
C．He is sympathetic towards difficulties of super-busy workers.
D．He believes that busyness at work does not equal effectiveness.
22．（8分） Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning—and the fears of something going badly wrong.
The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.
These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.
“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.
Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.
The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.
However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital t
o the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.
A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.
1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?
A．AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors
B．Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks
C．So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet
D．Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs
2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.
A．prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.
B．show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.
C．indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.
D．point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants
B．The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.
C．The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted
D．a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.
4、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?
A．Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights on
B．Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactors
C．Nuclear’s share of power generation remain stead
D．Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success
23．（8分）The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. And in the meantime, she’s been working through her teaching certifications for four years after obtaining an education degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, US.
Hipp has racked up $100,000 in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.
The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2014 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. For the first time since 1880, adults aged 18 to 34 became more likely to be living with a parent than to be living on their own. Before 2014, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple.
UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults st
