Unit 2 The Olympic Games 阅读理解 A Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. The first job she considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that，” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.‎ A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“ It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，” she says.‎ In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。‎ ‎1．Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?‎ A．The company’s location.‎ B．The initial interviews.‎ C．The firm’s culture.‎ D．The hiring manager.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “junior” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A．Challenging.　　　　　　 B．Easy.‎ C．Beneficial.

According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.‎ The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，” Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”‎ She added, “Importantly, the café isn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’ calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Café only represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”‎ Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p．m.to 3 p．m.until Friday.‎ ‎【解题导语】　该文主要介绍了欧洲一家健身服务提供商发起的一项活动。‎ ‎5．Where does the uniqueness of the activity lie?‎ A．In its excellence of service.‎ B．In its widespread advertising.‎ 5‎ C．In its special way of payment.‎ D．In its abundance of food choices.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的整体内容可知，顾客只要锻炼6分钟就可以得到免费的午餐，由此可推断，这种活动的独特之处在于午餐独特的付费形式，即以锻炼来付费，故选C。‎ ‎6．Why did the Run for Your Bun Café hold the activity?‎ A．To introduce healthy eating habits to office workers.‎ B．To prove the benefits of being physically active.‎ C．To help improve office workers’ productivity.‎ D．To encourage office workers’ activity level.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday.”和“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”可知， 这一活动的目的在于鼓励上班族多活动，不要久坐，故选D。‎ ‎7．What does the author think of the activity?‎ A．It may have far－reaching influence.‎ B．It should have attracted more people.‎ C．It shouldn’t have been a temporary one.‎ D．It could have been made more convenient.‎ A　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可推知，作者认为活动虽然时间短，但具有开创性，可能在全球产生深远影响，故选A。‎ 七选五 Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down.1.________ You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.‎ ‎·Read if you feel bored.‎ Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you don’t like books.
