Public perception of success in the U.S.might be totally misguided
While 92% of people believe others care most about fame and 26 ,fewer than 10% factor those qualities into their own success.This is according to the newly 27 study by Harvard Graduate School of Education professor Todd Smith.Smith says he was 28 by how past studies on success“assumed what people will care about.”In this study,his team “weat the 29 direction”by spending years carying out individual interviews and group surveys to see what people really talk about when they talk about success.
As a scientist,Smith 30 studied individuality for a living,and even he was surprised to find younger respondents cared more about having a 31 in life.Those between the ages of 18 and 34 prioritized it most,and that prioritization dropped off as respondents'ages went up.Perhaps this is because older people hadfewer options when theywere starting their careers,at a time when values focused more on stable incomes than 32 personal missions.
Other trends included an emphasis on the importance of parenting.Being a parent 33 very high across the priorities of all study participants.Ultimately,Smith hopes institutions will take note of these insights 34 .
Higher education institutions tend to focus on preparingstudents for high-paying jobs For such institutions,fom universities to workplaces,to better 35 people in the U.S.,they'll need to understand “what the American public highly prioritizes,”Smith says.

答案解析
26.E)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：尽管有92%的人认为别人最在乎名声和______,但只有不到10%的人把这些品质考虑到自己的成功中。and一般连接意思相近的词或短语，备选项中，跟fame“名声”意思相近的只有fortune“巨款”。fame and fortune=being rich and famous,意为“名和利”, 因此答案为E)fortune.factor..into 意为“把……考虑在内”。
27.M)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：这是根据哈佛大学教育研究生院的教授托德·史密斯最新______研究得出的结论。由句意可知，本空应填入含有“公布，发表”意义的词，由此确定答案为M)released。在这里 released是动词的过去分词作定语，修饰 study。备选的其他形容词和动词均没有此含义，因此排除。
28.D)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：史密斯说，过去关于成功的研究“假设人们会关心什么”,这让他______。由句意可知，本空应填入表达某种情绪的词，由此确定答案为D)bothered。备选的其他形容词和动词-ed形式均不能表达情绪，因此排除。
29.I)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：在这项研究中，他的团队“走向______方向”,花了数年时间进行个人访谈和群体调查，就为了弄明白人们在谈论成功时真正谈论的是什么。由此可知，史密斯的团队与以前研究成功的团队采取了截然不同的方式，他们没有对成功的定义做出假设，因此本空应填入含有“不同的，相反的”意义的形容词，由此确定答案为I)opposite.备选的其他形容词均没有此含义，因此排除。
30.H)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：作为一名科学家，史密斯______以研究个性为生。将备选副词分别代入句中，只有literally“确实”符合句意，因此 答案为H) 。B)accordingly 、N)similarly 和O)wrong 代入句中均不符合句意，故排除。
31.K)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：甚至他惊讶地发现，年轻的受访者更关心生活要有______,将备选名词代入句中，只有purpose“目的”使句意通顺，故答案为K)purpose。
32. F)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：这可能是因为年长的人在刚开始职业生涯时选择较少，当时的价值观更关注稳定的收入，而不是______个人使命。将备选词分别代入句中，只有fulfilling personal missions“实现个人使命”符合句意，由此确定答案为F) 。C)acquiring“获得；得到”不符合句意， 故排除。

34.B)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：最终，史密斯希望各类机构能______注意到这些见解。上文提到了不同年龄阶段有各自的优先事项，也有共通的。由此可知，史密斯希望各机构能注意到对应不同人群的优先事项，因此本空应填入含有“对应地，相应地”意义的副词，由此确定答案为B)accordingly。备选的其他副词均没有此含义，因此排除。
35.A)【语义判断】空格所在句意为：对于这些机构来说，无论是大学还是职场，为了更好地______美国人，他们需要了解“美国公众高度重视的是什么”。本段第一句提到，高校倾向于把重点放在让学生为高薪工作做准备上，而高薪并非年轻人的优先考虑事项，所以各类机构要了解美国公众究竟优先考虑什么,从而更好地适应这些人的需求。因此本空应填入含有“适应，满足”意义的动词，由此确定答案为A)accommodate 。备选的其他动 词原形没有此含义，因此排除。
Section B
Directions: In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached toit. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
How a rabbit study and an ex-studentboost myhopes for a future of 'loveand dignity'
A)At whatever grade levelteachers find themselves,from kindergarten to the final class at medical or law school,few moments stir the emotions as deeply as when former
students reappear years and often decades later with an update on where their journey has taken them and what resiliencies(韧性)have been the pavement on which they've traveled.
B)So it was when a recent letter came from Kelli Harding,a student 21 years ago in my Peace Studies summer course in Washington.The weekly tuition-freeclass,in a roomy space that Ralph Nader and his Public Citizen nonprofit group provided,was discussion-based and required no useless homework or exams.Just comein and figure out how to increase peace and decreaseviolence.And do it today,tomorrow is too late. The course attracted mostlycongressional interns(实习生),with a fewexceptions like Kelli who was in Washington as an AmeriCorps volunteer.
C)Her year-long service included comforting AIDs patients at a free health clinic and delivering meals to the homebound.It was aworld apart from herundergraduate daysat the University of California-Berkeley majoring in political science.The Washington experience,which Kelli would later call “transformative”,was the fuel that carried her into medicine to earn a master's degree in public health from Columbia University and amedical degree from the University of Rochester,and almost two decades of practice as an emergency-room psychiatrist(精神科医生)at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
D)Kelli's letter,a literate update on both her personal and professional life,touched my heart,and especially so when saying that two decades later she still has the course text, “Solutions to Violence,”and that“it remainsone of my favorite possessions.”She lives in Lower Manhattan with her husband,Padraic,whom she met on a flight to London and their threeboys.
E)If Kelli stands out,it's because she is also a gifted writer.Last month,Atria Books published her book The Rabbit Efiect:Live Longer,Happier,and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness.
F)With a blending offree-flowing confessional prose and scholarly research found in 461 notes,Kelli met my expectations that her ideas and ideals would be sound and singular.“Despite our scientifc progress,"she writes,“Americans are remarkably unhealthy.In 2016,the United States ranked forty-third in the world for life expectancy...It is also by far the world's most expensive place to get sick.”
G)Enter the rabbits-not those running around in our woodlands butones serving in two month-long medical experiments to test the effects of eating a high-fat diet and the connections between cholesterol and heart disease.With similar diets,the expectations were that all the rabbits would have similar cloggings of their arteries(动脉堵塞) .Yet one group had 60% fewerof them.
H)The reason?Instead of receiving the standard care given to lab animals,the 60% group was watched over by a newcomer to the lab who,Kelli writes,"handled the animals differently.When she fed her rabbits she talked to them and petted them.She didn't just pass out food,she gave them love...The studies indicate something is missing in the traditional biomedical model.Itwasn't diet or genetics that made a difference in which rabbits got sick and which stayed healthy.It was kindness.”
I)Amid the political noise about Obamacare,Medicare,Medicaid,health insurance and thieving pharmacentical(医药的)companies,Kelli Harding stands apart from the crowd calling for quick fixes,the simpler the better.She has walked too many miles in the halls of hospitals visiting too many far-gone patients and seeing toomany medical mistakes to go along with conventional thinking.
J)“The rabbiteffect,"she explains,means that“when it comes to our health,we'vebeen missing some crucial pieces:hidden factors behind what really makes us healthy. Factors like love,friendship,and dignity.The designsof our neighborhoods,schools and workplaces.There's a social dimension to health that we've completely overlooked in our efforts to find the best and most cutting-edge medical care...Ultimately,what affects our health in the most meaningful ways hasmore to do with how we treat one another,how we live,and how we think about what it means to be human than with anything that happens in the doctor's office."
K)In more than a few passages,she relates the stories of men and women who came up against assembly-line medicine where patients were treated mostly as pieces of flesh. “Clinically,”she writes,“it's common to see two patients with the same condition,such as recovering from a heart attack,have two very different courses based on seemingly irrelevant factors,such as their family relationships or their educational levels.In my practice,the sickest people I see often share similar backgrounds:loneliness,abuse, poverty,ordiscrimination.For them,the medicalmodel isn't enough.It's like fixing up an airplane engine and ignoing that the pilot is on histhird drink at the bar and a massive stormis overhead...To properly care for patients,we also need to care about the lives of the people getting the care.”
L)Kelli wastes notime taking potshots at(随意批评)the medical establishment and its body-centered biomedicine methods.Instead,she remains positive,holding up for praise one of her medical school professors,George Engel,“who always noticed not just a patient's physical condition but little details about her life,such as ifshe had family pictures up in her hospital room or flowers delivered.He was the kind of trusted doctor you'd feel relieved to seeand welcome into the room with a sick family member.He'd sit down to talk with the patient not just about medical problems,but about her life and priorities.Hebuilt a large consultation service to address the holistic(整体的)needs of hospitalized patients,including psychological and social factors.”
M)It's a guess howmanyGeorge Engels in their whitejackets are at work these days and another speculation on the number of Kelli Hardings the nation is blessed with.May the totals be large and getting larger.
36.Kelli Harding also distinguishes herself by her literary talent.
37.Kelli Harding doesn't think America's medical model is sufficient for patients who need help most.
38.Kelli Harding differs from those seeking quick and simple solutions to America's medical problems.
39.Kelli Harding wasa participant in a summer course the author taught.
40.According to Kelli Harding,scientific advances have not made Americans healthier,nor prolonged their life.
41.The author was deeply moved by what Kelli Harding wrote about her current life.
42.George Engel,in treating his patients,not onlylooks intotheir symptomsbut also into things like the emotional support they receive.
43.According to Kelli Harding,rabbits'health had more to do with humans'kindness to themthan their diet or genetcs.
44.What Kelli Harding went through in Washington changed her life.
45.A social aspect to health has not been taken into account in trying to provide the best medical care.

Youshould decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 arebased on the following passage.
Academic dishonesty is nothing new.As long as there have been homework assignments and tests,there have been cheaters.The way that cheating looks has changed over time,though,particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever.Astudy by theJosephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics.Of the teens surveyed,51 percent said that they had knowinglycheatedat some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour.A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of studentshad cheated via smartphone,though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated.In many cases,students didnot realizethat strategies like looking up answers ona smartphone were actually cheating at all.
In today's classrooms,students who cheat are rarely caught.There are no formulas written on the insides of handsor students looking across the aisle,or whispering answers to their classmates.Today's students use smartphones,tablets or even in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes.Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical.
The technology is being adopted so quicklythat school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies,oreven awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way.From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and expert websites.
Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology andthese policies must be updated consistently.Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process.Parents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Remote work is about more than just working from home—it means working differently.Organizations should reconsider the appropriateness of their performance evaluation procedures in light of the shift to remote work.This requires a fundamental rethinking of what organizations expect from employees and what companies would look for in a model employee in a remote work context.
It is likely that the“first to arrive and last to leave”mentality is no longerrelevant,but should be replaced by a regard for the quality of an employee's contribution to the organization.This means thatwork should be measured in terms of the quality of the work, not just the quality of the process.As remote work is largely unobservable to supervisors,employers need to think about how they can objectively measure the quality of work in a way that is consistent for employees ofsimilar rank.
Focusing on output alone can have the unintended consequences.Employers should think insteadabout the values and soft skills they want to emphasize in a remote work environment.Qualities like flexibility and the ability to work under minimal supervision might become critical.Much hasbeen written about the importance of timely feedback.In the context of a global pandemic(大流行病),firms may want to provide additional support to employees by providing more frequent communication.This allows managers to both keep an eye on struggling employees and provide ongoing feedback on how employees are adapting to their new work environment.
Compensation also needs to be revisited.The purpose of performance evaluation is ultimately to determine how to reward employees for their work.This means that pay structures need to adapt to the reality ofworking from home.However,organizations also need to be honest with employees about the financial impact of COVID-19.
For organizations that have struggled to keep the lights on due to the pandemic,this might mean thinking of non-financial ways to reward employees,like unpaid time off or flexible work schedules.Employers can also consider how to bundle different types of compensation tohelp employees copewith their uniquesituations.
51.What does the author say companies should do in thecontext of remotework?
A)Reform performance evaluation
B)Rethink the organizational fundamentals
C)Reexamine its effects on employees'behaviors.
D)Reflect on its differences fromworking in the office.
52.What should be prioritized in assessing employees'remote work?
A)The quantity of their output.
B)The length of their work time.
C)The quality of their contribution
D)The flexibility of their work schedules.
53.What quality in the employees would be of great importance in a remote work context?
A)The ability to produce quality work.
B)The ability tomaximize work efficiency.
C)Theability to finish tasks in a timely manner.
D)The ability to work with the least supervision.
54.Why is it important for fims to provide timely feedback during thepandemic?
A)Toevaluate their employees of similar rank in a consistent way.
B)To keep a watchful eye on those employees who perform poorly.
C)To help employees in need adapt to the new work environment.
D)Tomaintain comnections with their employees away from office.
55.What is the author's suggestion to employers who experience the financial impact of the pandemic?
A)Urging their employees to adapt to the new situation.
B)Rewarding theiremployees in unconventionalways.
C)Identifying employees who make little contribution.
D)Allowing their employees to look for part-time jobs.
答案解析

53.【定位】由题干中的quality in theemployees和importance定位到第三段第二、三句。
D)【精析】细节辨认题。定位句指出，雇主应该转而思考自己在远程工作环境中想强调的价值观和软技能。灵活处理问题以及在最少的监督下工作的能力等品质可能变得至关重要。由此可见，在远程工作环境中，雇员在最少的监督下工作的能力至关重要，故答案为D)。D)中的the least supervision与定位句中的minimal supervision为同义转换。
54.【定位】由题干中的provide timelyfeedback定位到第四段。
C)【精析】推理判断题。第四段第一句提到，很多文章都论述了及时反馈的重要性，第四段第三句提到这样主管既能关注到遇到问题的员工，又能对员工适应新工作环境的情况提供持续的反馈。由此可知，及时提供反馈可以帮助有需要的员工适应新的工作环境，故答案为C)。
55.【定位】由题干中的author's suggestion和financial impact of the pandemic定位到第六段。
B)【精析】细节辨认题。第六段指出，对于那些因新冠疫情而难以维系的公司来说，这可能意味着要考虑用非财务的福利来奖励员工，如无薪休假或灵活的工作时间。雇主还可以考虑如何组合不同类型的补偿，帮助员工应对自己的特殊情况。由此可见，作者建议财务受到大流行病影响的雇主以非传统的方式奖励员工。B)中的unconventional ways对应定位段中的non financial ways,故答案为B)。
