In the US, people who were born between the late 1980s and early 2000s have been considered lazy and too demanding; however, new surveys show this is not true. When researchers studied the vacation attitudes among different age groups, they found that this group of people is the least likely to take a vacation and the most likely to feel shameful about taking one. Even if they take vacations, about one third of them work during their vacation. Researchers believe that the economic environment when they got their jobs affects their attitude toward hard work. The people in this group experienced how difficult it was to get a job, so they want to be sure to keep it. If they show their bosses that they sacrifice their vacation time, it’ll help them keep their positions. This group also has a lot of student loans, so they can’t afford to get fired, researchers say.1.What did researchers find about people born between the late 1980s and early 2000s?A) They are very lazy.B) They are too demanding.C) They are neither lazy nor demanding.D) They are unlikely to work during their vacation2.What is the attitude of this group of people toward work?A) They don’t like to work too hard.B) They don’t care about being fired.C) They love to work and know the value of work.D) They can’t afford to be fired and are ready to work more.

题目解答
答案
1、答案：C2、答案：D
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节的理解和推理能力，需要结合上下文分析人物的态度和行为原因。
解题核心思路：
- 第一题需抓住文章开头的转折关系，明确新调查推翻了原有刻板印象，锁定关键句“this is not true”及后续具体描述。
- 第二题需关注文章中对经济环境、工作态度的描述，特别是“sacrifice vacation time”和“student loans”等关键词，推断出其工作态度的本质。
破题关键点：
- 第一题：通过“however”后的转折内容，排除表面选项，锁定“least likely to take a vacation”和“feel shameful”等细节。
- 第二题：结合“economic environment”“keep their positions”“can’t afford to get fired”等信息，理解其工作态度的内在逻辑。
第1题
关键句：文章首段指出“new surveys show this is not true”，并进一步说明这一代人“least likely to take a vacation”且“feel shameful about taking one”。
- 选项分析：
- A、B：与原文开头的“however”转折后的内容矛盾，被推翻。
- C：符合“not lazy”（因不愿度假可能更努力工作）和“not demanding”（因重视工作机会而不敢休假）。
- D：与文中“about one third of them work during their vacation”矛盾（说明部分人仍工作）。
第2题
关键句：文章提到“economic environment when they got their jobs”“experienced how difficult it was to get a job”“student loans”等。
- 选项分析：
- D：直接对应“can’t afford to get fired”（因经济压力）和“want to keep their positions”（通过牺牲假期表现忠诚）。
- C：虽提到“love to work”，但文中强调的是“不得不”而非“热爱”。
- A、B：与“sacrifice vacation time”和“economic pressure”矛盾。
