A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at word and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.
"Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work that at home," writer one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes."It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work." Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.
What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they're at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home.
But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing to be doing: wording, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.
On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into is, of if they're teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they're your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.
So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
選項及詳解:
21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home________.
定位句:A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home that at work. 純細節題。與大多數研究不同,人們在家中比在工作中壓力更大。也就是說,大多數研究認為:在家中的壓力沒有工作中的壓力大。此處命題者也犯了一點兒錯誤,為了加大答案難度,強行將更多放鬆與壓力更小等同了起來。此題出得一般。如果要是我給答案,答案會是:made people less pressed than working
[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace
[B] was an ideal place for stress measurement—無關
[C] generated more stress than the workplace—相悖
[D] wasan unrealistic place for relaxation—沒有體現兩者比較
22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?
定位句:'It is men, not women, who report being happier at home that at work.' Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. 比起女人,男人在家中比在工作中更快樂。有沒有孩子都成立,但不是父母的人群中這點體現得更為明顯。此題為典型的綜合細節題,將原文中的兩處子細節進行了概括。答案應該是沒孩子的丈夫。此處為出題者點三十二個贊。
[A] Childless wives –相悖
[B] working mothers—相悖
[C] Childless husbands
[D] Working fathers—相悖
23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that____
定位句:And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks此句為答案出處。一邊在外工作,一邊忙著家務活。你可以說這是綜合細節題,也可以說是簡單推斷題。答案中bread winners and housewives這兩個角色精確概括了原文中work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks這句話。此題繼續為出題者點三十二個贊。
[A] it is difficult for them to leave their office—無關
{B] their home is also a place for kicking back—推不出
[C] there is often much housework left behind—無關
[D] they are both bread winners and housewives
24. The word 'moola'(Line 4, para.4) most probably means____
定位句:詞彙題。Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. 他們付出勞動,他們得到維持生計的?那還能是什麼,只能是錢唄!況且這個詞在美語俚語中的意思就是鈔票。此題應屬於詞彙題中較為容易的一種,通過上下文可以推斷出,出得不錯。
[A]skills—代入不合適
[B]energy—代入不合適
[C]earnings
[D]nutrition—代入不合適
25. The home front differs from the workplace in that_____
定位句:On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. 從家庭層面來說,人們的分工就沒有這麼明顯了。很難客觀冷靜得分清楚誰該幹啥,誰該幹啥。所以答案是:家庭中的分工很少那麼清晰。此題出得不錯,但達不到點讚的地步。
[A]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut
[B]home is hardly a cozier working environment—無關
[C]household tasks are generally more motivating—無關
[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded—相悖
總結:這篇文章屬於英語二第一篇最青睞的一個題材,即社會現象。從題目難度上來講,高於2014年初的第一篇幸福和2013年初的第一篇平庸化已結束, 小於2010年初的第一篇藝術品市場萎縮,約等同於2012年初的第一篇家庭作業。選項是梅花捲兒,所以請大家看清答案位置。[page]

For years, studies have found that first-generation collage students-those who do not have a parent with a college degree-lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created "a paradox" in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has "continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close" an achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.
But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.
The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.
Their thesis-that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.
Many first-generation students "struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the 'rules of the game,' and take advantage of colleges resources," they write, And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students."Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students' educational experiences, many first-generation students lack insight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students "like them' can improve."
選項與解析:
26. Recruiting more first-generation students has .
原文定位:But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created 'a paradox' in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has 'continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close' an achievement gap based on social class 又是一道綜合細節題。原文說原來的目標是希望能讓屌絲逆襲,但事與願違。所以選沒能夠達成預期目標。這道題出得點讚。
[A] reduced their dropout rates—無關
[B] narrowed the achievement gap—相悖
[C] depressed college students—無關
[D] missed its original purpose
27. The authors of the research article are optimistic because .
原文定位:But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem 原文說為什麼樂觀,因為為解決這個問題提供了一種潛在的可能。對應了答案的這個問題能被解決。我又要矯情了,這個答案並不好,和原文的重合度不是那麼高。如果我給答案,答案會是:addressing the problem shows promise.
[A] their findings appeal to students—無關
[B] the recruiting rate has increased—無關
[C] the problem is solvable
[D] their approach is costless—無關
28. The study suggests that most first-generation students .
原文定位:Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need 純細節題,沒什麼好說,送分沒商量。
[A] study at private universities—無關
[B] are from single-parent families—無關
[C] are in need of financial support
[D] have failed their college—無關
29. The authors of the paper believe that first-generation students .
原文定位:first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students 純細節題,原文的deal with換成了答案中的handling, issues沒變,其實可以變成problems. 送分題,拿下。
[A] are actually indifferent to the achievement gap—無關
[B] can have a potential influence on other students—無關
[C] may lack opportunities to apply for research projects—無關
[D] are inexperienced in handling their issues at college
30. We may infer from the last paragraph that .
原文定位:And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students. "Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students' educational experiences 典型先果後因,言下之意是現在出現這種情況,恰恰是大學應該部分上負起責任。這道題證明了我一直強調的真實考試時複雜推斷A—B, 簡單推斷偏細節的原則是靠譜的。
[A] universities often reject the culture of the middle-class—推不出
[B] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question
[C] social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences—推不出
[D] students are usually to blame for their lack of resources—推不出
總結:這篇文章是有點心理學意思的簡化版學術論文。難度遠低於2011、2012、2013和2014年初第二篇。這篇文章,應該位於整套題第一篇文章的位置。[page]

Even in traditional offices, "the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago," said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. "If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion."
Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very "team"-oriented—and not by coincidence. "Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think ofthemselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win." These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. "You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose," said Khurana.
This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The "mommy wars" of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your "passion," you』ll be more likelyto devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed. But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, "You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it." In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.
選項及答案:
31. According to Nancy Koehn, office language has become_____
原文定位:Even in traditional offices, "the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,"二選一式純細節題,就是A變得B and C。這種題型英語二常見,選項中哪個答案是B或C的同義轉述,哪個答案就是對的。這道題難度太小,居然就是原文more emotional 的照抄。這兩分屬於白給。
[A] more emotional
[B] more objective
[C] less energetic
[D] less strategic
32. "team"-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to_______
原文定位:Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very "team"-oriented—and not by coincidence. "Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win."此題為綜合細節題,整個第二段中的N多子細節共同指向了運動文化這個選項。歷史事件和性別差異這兩個選項屬於無中生有,運動管理這個選項屬於點點對應,不能概括整段。
[A] historical incidents
[B] gender difference
[C] sports culture
[D] athletic executives
33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to______
原文定位:These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm.純細節題,這道題出得點讚。這才是細節題,同義轉述,親們,邏輯重合+同義轉述。Increase=strengthen, loyalty=allegiance.
[A] revive historical terms
[B] promote company image
[C] foster corporate cooperation
[D] strengthen employee loyalty
34.It can be inferred that Lean In________
原文定位:This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The "mommy wars" of the 1990s are still going on today做過真題同源三十篇的同學,這兩分就是白送給你們的。這道推斷題的出題者我們絕對應該給跪了。邏輯超級強大,為什麼二十世紀九十年代會有 mommy wars? 是因為那時女性可能無法在工作和生活間保持平衡。現在為什麼還繼續,說明現在保持平衡也很難,而這本書的就是一個絕佳的例子。所以我們推出:這本書是幹哈滴?這本書是為工作的女性發聲滴對不?
[A] voices for working women
[B] appeals to passionate workaholics
[C] triggers debates among mommies
[D] praises motivated employees
35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak?
原文定位:Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, "You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it."看到了嗎?各位,這道題就是屬於那種讓你做對了不知道為什麼做對,做錯了還心有不甘那種題有木有?我要誠實,我考場上選的就是d, 現在還認為是d。當然,有老師選c,我覺得也有可能。我只是覺得d的概括性更強。如果把regular去掉,那無疑就是它了。如果這道題我錯了,我認了,因為我知道命題者想玩死我,我給他/她機會。
[A] Managers admire it but avoid it
[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense
[C] Companies find it to be fundamental
[D] Regular people mock it but accept it
總結:又是一篇和心理學沾點邊兒的文章,總體難度不大,遠低於2011、2012、2013和2014年初的第三篇文章。[page]
Text 4
Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.
However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent) above its year ago level.
Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.
There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9 percent) from its year ago level.
We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is "yes", they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.
The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.
However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.
選項及答案:
36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?
原文定位:However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. 純細節題,定位對就能做得對。
[A]The prospect of a thriving job market.
[B]The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.
[C]The possibility of full employment.
[D]The acceleration of job creation.
37. Many people work part-time because they ____.
原文定位:又來了,又來了,綜合細節題又來了。今年的命題者商量好了,一定要用綜合細節題搞死你們哦。Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. 許多做兼職工作的人不想做全職嗎?非也非也。他們只是只能做兼職,做不了全職而已。將這兩處子細節結合起來,應該選B。
[A]Fell that is enough to make ends meet
[B]Cannot get their hands on full-time jobs
[C]Haven’t seen the weakness of the market
[D]Prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs
38. Involuntary part-time employment in the US______.
原文定位:There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down純細節題,原文說總體來說下滑,選項選總體下滑。
[A]Shows a general tendency of decline
[B]Is harder to acquire than one year ago
[C]Satisfies the real need of the jobless
[D]Is lower than before the recession
39. It can be learned that with Obamacare, ___ .
原文定位:點讚,點讚,點三十二個走心的贊。這才是第四篇應有的水準,這才是命題者應有的水平。These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance. 原文說過去只要有全職,一般就能上保險。現在有了歐巴馬整出來的這個玩意兒,就業和保險也不必然劃上邏輯上的等號了。言下之意就是:別看你就業了,照樣兒有可能得不到保險哦!
[A]It is no longer easy for part-timers to get insurance
[B]Employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance
[C]It is still challenging to get insurance for family members
[D]Full-time employment is still essential for insurance
40. The text mainly discusses_______.
原文定位:原文標題是The Good News About Obamacare in the June Jobs Report
但就這篇文章來看,還是就業談得多些,所以我選Employment in the US這個答案。還有一個原因,原文標題是利好,答案是困擾怎麼行?命題者如果非得說就是困擾這個答案的話,這兩分哥不要了。
[A]Obamacare’s trouble
[B]Part-timer classification
[C]Insurance through Medicaid
[D]Employment in the US
總結:考場上哥都恍惚了,這是第四篇嗎?怎麼會這麼容易?難度等同於13年第四篇,遠低於其餘年份。[page]

Some Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough Times
Unfortunately, life is not a bed of roses, We are going though life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house . Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won’t last forever.
When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I』ve learned along the way.
41.
[D]Most of your fears areunreal
Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. " I do completely agree the fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.
42.
[E]Think about the present moment
If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past, try focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.
43.
[G]There are many things to be grateful for
Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.
44.
[A]You are not alone
No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life. Especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.
45.
[C]Pave your own unique path
Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.

Shaun Hick once said, "You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is stand in the sun." I want to share these ten old truths I』ve learned along the way.
1. The power of mindset A positive mindset can help people overcome hard times. The main point is to get rid of negative clouds in your mind and start looking at the positive things. This way, you will accomplish things and boost your self-esteem and self-confidence.
A clear and positive mindset gives you a chance to work your way around obstacles before they are able to break your power of will. If you replace your negative emotions by positive thoughts, you will change your reality.
2. Pain isa significant part of life As cruel as it may seem, pain is a necessary part of life that makes us human. Pain comes from many sources and it usually hits us when we have been at our most vulnerable. It usually does two things – it teaches you to become wiser and tells you that you are alive. I think there’s no need to avoid it, because it can only drive you away. Suffering comes from your desire that the pain should not be there. It seems the fear of pain is bigger than the actual experience of pain. To be free of pain you are to take it for granted and try to find positive moments. By the way, pain can be a part of loving. If you have never been hurt, you will never know that you have love at all.

3. Most of your fears are unreal Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us todeal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice." I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.
4. Don’t fear responsibility for your life The price of happiness is responsibility. It’s better to realize that your happiness isn’t the responsibility of other people. Taking personal responsibility means not blaming others for your failures and unhappiness. Your success and happiness depends more on your attitude than it does objective, external circumstances. You should understand that happiness is ultimately in your mind. If you adopt the surrender mindset and have faith in a happy future, you will certainly reach your goals.
5. Think about present moment If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past,try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.

6. Experience helps you grow All people usually grow through experience if they treat it courageously. Try not to ask yourself questions that perpetuate your role as a victim, because it will prolong your feelings and helplessness. One of the most important parts of living and growing up is experiencing unexpected troubles in life. People often sick, lose jobs and face critical situations. I think these circumstances in life bring more automatic maturity as a sort of forced growing up mentality. The pain that you feel when something goes wrong teaches you where you are just now and who you are in that moment. Good or bad experiences are a gateway to deeper level of self-awareness.
7. There are many things to be grateful for Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.
It is desirable to stop comparing yourself to others and wishing to be someone you are not. Every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses. If you accept everything you have, you will truly find the fulfillment you seek.
8. You are not alone No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.
