55. What does the author advise us to do?
- A. Make life as simple as possible.
- B. Talk about balance in simpler terms.
- C. Balance life and work in a new way.
- D. Strive for a more filling life.
答案:D
答案句:Let's bury “work-life balance” and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living.
参考译文:让我们埋葬“工作与生活的平衡”,更宏大、更好地思考工作与生活的充实,少一点平衡,多一点生活。
定位线索:题干“advise us to do”→答案句“Let's bury... and think... about work-life fulfillment”;文中“work-life fulfillment”和“a lot more living”对应选项D“Strive for a more filling life”(“fulfillment”= “filling”,“a lot more living”= “more filling life”)。
解析:题干问作者建议我们做什么。答案句是祈使句,直接给出建议:“埋葬平衡,思考工作与生活的充实,多生活”,即选项D“追求更充实的生活”。选项C“以新方式平衡工作和生活”与作者“埋葬平衡”的建议相悖;选项A“让生活尽可能简单”和B“用更简单的术语谈论平衡”在原文中未提及,属于无中生有。
