9.Imagine that you're looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedin:"These companies are looking for candidates like you!"You aren't necessarily searching for a job,but you're always open to opportunities,so out of curiosity,you click on the link.A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk."We've noticed that you're spending more time on Linkedin lately,so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you're happy here,"she says.Uh-oh.
It's an awkward scene.Attrition(损耗) has always been expensive for companies,but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising,owing to tight labor markets.Thus companies are intensifying(增强) their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them.Tactics(策略) range from electronic monitor to sophisticated(复杂的) analyses of employees'social media lives.
Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit.In general,people leave their jobs because they don't like their boss,don't see opportunities for promotion or growth,or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.
New research conducted by CEB,a Washington-based technology company,looks not just at why workers quit but also at when."We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group,or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life,"says Brian Kropp,who heads CEB's HR practice."We've learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons."
Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit.Companies can tell whether employees usmg work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites,and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things.Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹)employees'use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage-to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.

32.From the first paragraph,we can infer Linkedln isC
A.an e-mail
B.a job from the Internet
C.a professional social network
D.a world-famous company
33.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?D
A.The cost o losing good workers is rising.
B.Companies are stricter with workers than before.
C.Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers.
D.Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.
34.According to the research by CEB,which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?B
A.They don't like their bosses.
B.Workers are always doing comparisons.
C.Not seeing opportunities for promotion.
D.To find a higher-paid job.
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A
A.To make a review on a phenomenon.
B.To tell us the leader's concerns.
C.To show a new trend in the job market.
D.To stress the role of new technologies.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了工人总是做比较导致他们容易放弃自己的工作这种社会现象.

解答 32.C.推理判断题.根据第一段We've noticed that you're spending more time on Linkedin lately,so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you're happy here,"she says.Uh-oh可知Linkedln是一个专业的社会网络;故选C.
33.D.段落大意题.根据第二段Thus companies are intensifying(增强) their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them可知第二段的主要思想是已采取措施寻找可能离职的潜在工人;故选D.
34.B.细节理解题.根据第三段We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group,or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life可知工人总是做比较是工人放弃他们的工作,最可能的原因;故选B.
35.A.推理判断题.根据最后一段Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹)employees'use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage-to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job可知作者的写作目的是对这种现象进行评论;故选A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

17.On April 14th,2010,my entire life changed in an instant.One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine.The next moment,metal,flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash.Another cyclist,biking carelessly,had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.
As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life,another disaster also occurred on April 14th,2010.It cost the airline industry$l.7billion.Ten million travelers were stuck for days.Economies all over the world were disturbed.This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull,one of Iceland's many volcanoes.
However,volcanoes are not all bad.In fact,they are necessary.They are responsible for the birth of new earth,and for the creation of rich soil.This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily.But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere,temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.
Similarly,the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized.I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.
In 1973,another Icelandic volcano,Eldfell,broke out.Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path.After their plan worked,they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15years to heat their homes.A good example of life bringing lemons,and making lemonade!One must move on from misfortunes,focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.
I ran from April 14th,2010,to every kind of escape.Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.

32.What happened to the writer on April 14th,2010?D
A.He was involved in a car crash.
B.He was stuck in Iceland's airport.
C.He witnessed a volcanic eruption.
D.He was badly injured on a bike ride.
33.Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?C
A.Economy was cost globally by the eruption.
B.Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.
C.Most of the world's planes were held up.
D.The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted
34.Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?A
A.It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.
B.It symbolized the accident that changed his life.
C.It told us to make the most of given situation.
D.It encouraged him to know more about himself
35.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.Escape from Volcanoes 
B.Inspiration from Disasters
C.Love for Earth Science
D.Attitude towards Nature.
