【答案】24.C25.A26.B27.A

【导语】本文为夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己博士生的经历，讨论了在研究生院时，如何避免过度

工作和压力，保持身心健康，提高个人工作效率。

24.推理判断题。根据第一段“"Areyouallright?"thestudentaskedasshepassedmeinthehallway.Iwas

inthefinalstretchoflastworkbeforewritingmyessay.Thestudent,whowas4yearsbehindmeinthe

samePh.D.program,wentontosay,“Iseepeoplefi-omyourgroupworkingsomuch,puttinginextrahours,

evenatnight.”（“你没事吧?”那个学生在走廊里从我身边经过时问道。在写论文之前，我正处于最后一

项工作的最后阶段。那个比我晚4年读博士的学生接着说：“我看到你们组的人工作很努力，加班加

点，甚至在晚上也加班。"）”可知，这个学生关注作者的情况，询问作者身体状况，所以是很关心作

者。故选C项。

25.推理判断题。根据第二段“Asafirst-yearPh.D.student,Iwasluckytohavekindandunderstanding

advisers.ButIfeltoverwhelmingpressuretobecomeaperfectstudent.Ikeptfindingamillionreasonswhy

Iwascomingintograduateschoolatadisadvantagecomparedwithmypeers.AsastudentfromColombia,I

hadbeeneducatedatinstitutionsmyprofessorsandcolleagueshadneverheardof,Ispokewithanaccent

thatwashardtounderstand,andIwasolderthanmostofthepeopleinmycohort.（作为一名一年级的博士

生，我很幸运有善良、善解人意的导师。但我感到了成为一个完美学生的巨大压力。我一直在找无数

个理由，为什么我进入研究生院时，与同龄人相比处于劣势。作为一名来自哥伦比亚的学生，我在教

授和同事们从未听说过的机构接受教育，我说话的口音让人听不懂，而且我比同龄人中的大多数人都

年长）”可知，作者在刚开始的时候感到压力很大，担心自己的口音和年龄，所以起初作者是感觉焦虑

的。故选A项。

26.词句猜测题。根据前文“Icrashedfromburnout.（我精疲力竭了）”以及后文"Duringoneofmany

mindlessSundaysintheoffice,IrealizedI'dfallenintothetrapofassumingmycolleagues5workhabits

werethestandardforbelongingandbeingworthyofrespect-anditwasn'tsustainable.（在办公室里度过的

一个毫无头脑的星期天里，我意识到自己掉进了一个陷阱，以为同事的工作习惯就是归属感和值得尊

重的标准——而这是不可持续的）”可知，作者精疲力竭，在办公室工作时，毫无头绪，所以疲劳影响

了他的工作效率，推知tookatollon是“对……有负面影响”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。

27.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"Fromthenon,IstoppedcountingthenumberofworkhoursIwas

puttingin,leavingspaceeverydayforexercisinganddoingactivitiesthatIenjoyed.Eventually,Irealized

nobodywaskeepingtrackoftheamountoftimeIspentinthelabanywayanditwasn'tsomethingIneeded

toworryabout.（从那时起，我不再计算我投入的工作时间，每天留出时间锻炼和做我喜欢的活动。最

终，我意识到没有人记录我在实验室里花了多少时间，这不是我需要担心的事情）”以及最后一段“So,

whenIranintoheragain,weekslater,ItoldherthateventhoughIwasfeelingalotofpressureinthefinal

yearofmyPh.D.,Iwasputtingmymentalandphysicalhealthfirstandwasn'tworkingovertime.Ialso

begantotalkwithotherstudentsabouthowqualitysleep,physicalactivity,healthyeating,andreasonable

士学位的最后一年感到压力很大，但我还是把心理和身体健康放在第一位，没有加班。我也开始和其

他学生谈论高质量的睡眠、体育锻炼、健康的饮食和合理的工作时间是我日常生活的一部分）”可知，

作者主要想要告诉读者健康的工作与生活平衡很重要。故选A项。

行中发表的持续1到2小时的政治演说，已经被30秒的广告和10秒的广播新闻“声音片段”所取代）”

可知，“政治演说”是一种典型的十九世纪的政治表现。故选C。

29.推理判断题。根据第四段"Relianceontelevisionmeansthatincreasinglyourpoliticalworldcontains

memorablepicturesratherthanmemorablewords.Schoolsteachustoanalyzewordsandprint.However,in

aworldinwhichpoliticsisincreasinglyvisual,informedcitizenshiprequiresanewsetofskills.（对电视的

依赖意味着，我们的政治世界越来越多地充斥着令人难忘的画面，而不是令人难忘的话语。学校教我

们分析文字和印刷品。然而，在一个政治日益可视化的世界里，知情的公民需要一套新的技能）”可推

知，公民需要学习如何评价视觉政治形象。故选D。

30.推理判断题。根据最后一段"Muchofthepoliticalactivityweseeontelevisionnewshasbeencrafted
