Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
We are hearing a lot these days about downshifting. So what is it? The term downshifting first appeared in 1994. It was coined by the Trans-research Institute to describe a new philosophy by which high achievers at work chose a lower salary in exchange for a better quality of life. According to a recent study, four out of ten people under 35 years old are planning to downshift from stressful jobs to a slower pace of life. It’s not just the dream of the young. It is also popular with 35 to 54-year-olds, 12% of whom are making plans to downshift, 6% hoping to have done so in the next 2 years. The study found that 7% of workers had already downshifted. Doctor Lucy Grand, a psychologist looking at the phenomenon, believes that the downshifting is a dream that more and more people want to turn into a reality. People are not satisfied with their lives, and they want to make changes. However Doctor Grand adds, that some people will hesitate, because they don’t actually believe they can make it happen, while others w ill rush into downshifting to discover that their dream ends up with the financial crisis. So it’s something that requires a lot of thought and planning to get right.

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案解析(word精校版)
2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案（word精校版） 含详细解析 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） A My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A.He got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs

2015年12月大学英语四级考试真题答案及详解（第2套） PART ⅠWriting 思维导图 学习应该是一个终生的过程 Learning Should Be a Lifelong Process 第一段结合谚语，引出话题：终身学习的重要性(the importance of lifelong learning)。 第二段分析终身学习对于现代社会的我们如此重要的原因。在快速发展的信息时代，我们必须通过不断学习来紧跟时代潮流(keep pace with the times)，否则将会失去很多机会(too outdated to seize any opportunities)。作者通过出租车司机使用打车软件增加收入和家庭主妇开网店赚钱两个例子来进一步支持自己的论点，避免说理空洞。 第三段引用谚语“活到老学到老”(it is never too old to learn)进一步呼应和深化主题、总结全文：学习无关乎年龄。只有不断学习，才能在迅猛发展的社会中发挥自身潜能(achieve our potential)、生活得更好。 〇高分范文 Learning Should Be a Lifelong Process ①It is often said that learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. ②The saying indicates the importance of lifelong learning, which we have been lectured over and over again. ③Lifelong learning is crucial to our life and career in modern society. ④Living in the Information Age, we have to keep pace with the times through ceaseless learning; otherwise, we'll be too outdated to seize any opportunities. ⑤For example, a taxi driver who learns to use a Taxi App such as Didi can make much more money than those who don't; a housewife who opens a shop online can even out-earn a white-collar worker. ⑥All of their success can be attributed to their constant learning in addition to the progress of technology. ⑦As an old saying goes, it is never too old to learn. Thus, learning is an attitude regardless of age. ⑧Only through learning ceaselessly can we achieve our potential and live a better life in this rapidly developing society. 〇精彩点评 ①开门见山，引出谚语。 ②点明话题：终身学习的重要性。 ③④⑤⑥分析终身学习为何重要，并举例进行具体论证。 ⑦恰当引用谚语，深化主题。 ⑧使用倒装句，强调不断学习的重要性。 〇加分亮点 lecture 教育，说教 the Information Age 信息时代 keep pace with the times 与时俱进 ceaseless 不断的，持续的 seize opportunities 抓住机遇
