Recently, the term “zhuliren” has suddenly become popular online. It seems that nowadays almost every industry now has its own “zhuliren”.
1.1.What did “zhuliren” refer to at first?
A Business owners in the food industry.
B Social media influencers.
C Entertainment industry workers.
D Fashion brand owners or professional managers.
解析:选D。D细节理解题。第二段明确说明“ At first, it referred to owners of fashionable brands or professional managers.”,最初“主理人”指潮流品牌的所有者或职业经理人。故选D。
2.2. What does the word “sarcastically” in Para. 3 probably mean in Chinese?
A 严肃地.
B 开心地.
C 讽刺地.
D 友好地.
解析:选C。C词义猜测题。第三段先指出人们对“人人自称主理人”的现象看法不一,一部分人认可这个词的积极意义,接着用“However”转折,说明另一部分人的态度。后文提到“They make fun of businesses that over-promote themselves or have poor service”(他们嘲笑那些过度吹嘘或服务差的商家),还举例“coffee shops joked about as having ‘ignoring customers’ as their main service’”(被调侃为“主打不理人”的咖啡店)。从“make fun of”(嘲笑)和“joked about”(调侃)这些表述可以推断,“sarcastically”在这里表示带有讽刺、调侃的意味,因此中文意思是“讽刺地”。故选C。
3.3. How does the author suggest about turning big dreams into reality?
A By recording 30-minute speeches daily.
B By setting small daily goals.
C By copying others’ successful paths.
D By avoiding any challenges.
解析:选B。B细节理解题。第四段明确举例“Break down big dreams into small daily goals. Like improving speaking skills by recording a 30-second explanation...”。A选项将原文30-second偷换为30-minute;C项与avoid following others blindly矛盾;D项与prepare for challenges相悖。故选B。
4.4. What can we infer about being a “zhuliren” from the passage?
A It needs clear plans and steady improvement.
B It is just a popular title online.
C It requires no effort or planning.
D It only applies to business owners.
解析:选A。A推理判断题。文章第四段提到成为人生“主理人”需要“figure out your life’s direction”“make clear plans and follow them”“improving step by step”,即需要明确方向、制定计划并持续进步。故选A。
5.5. Where is this passage most likely taken from?
A A science textbook.
B A fashion magazine.
C A lifestyle article.
D A history report.
解析:选C。C推理判断题。文章围绕网络流行词“主理人”展开,介绍其含义、人们的不同看法,以及如何成为自己人生的“主理人”,内容贴近日常生活和社会潮流,属于生活方式类话题。科学课本(A)侧重科学知识,时尚杂志(B)聚焦时尚领域,历史报告(D)涉及历史事件,均不符合文章内容。选项C“一篇生活方式文章” 最符合文章出处。故选C。
