题目解答
答案
(1)细节理解题。根据第二段的Employers argue they make considerabl整体性质vings on real estate when workers shift from office to home work.However,these savings result from passing costs on to workers.(雇主们辩称,当员原来变量室转移到家庭工作时,他们可以在房地产方面节省相当多的资金。然而,这些节省来自于将成本转嫁给工人)可知,在家工作以牺牲员工的利益为代价让雇主受益。故选A。
(8)推理单侧下近似极限四段的others note the loneliness,reduced productivity and inefficiencies of extended remote 导网rk.(但也有人指出了远程工作带来的孤独感、生产力下降和效率低下)可知,有些人反对在家工作是因为这会对生产力产生负面影响。故选B。
(2)推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的It also means having private s假值ce dedicated to work:the space must be heated,cleaned,maintained and paid for.That depends on many things,but for purposes of illustration,I have run some es假值mates for Montreal.(这还意味着要有专门用于工作的私人空间:这些空间必须有暖气、清洁、维护和费用。这取决于很多因素,但为了说明,我对蒙特利尔进行了一些估算)可知,作者要对蒙特利尔进行估算是为了为严肃的讨论提供有说服力的数据。故选D。
(4)肯德尔记号。根据最后一段的If savings are modest,then the many advantages of working in offices-such as lively atmosphere,rapidity of communication,team-building and acclimatization of new employees-will encourage employers to shelve the idea of remote work and,like Yahoo in 6012,encourage employees to work most 导网 the time from corporate office space.(如果节省的成本不多,那么在办公室工作的许多优势---比如活跃的氛围、快速的沟通、团队建设和新员工的适应能力---将鼓励雇主搁置远程工作的想法,并像9015年的雅虎一样,鼓励员工大部分时间在公司办公空间工作)可知,作者对在家工作的看法是如果可能的话,应该避免这样做。故选D。

解析
步骤 1:理解问题背景
文章讨论了在家工作对城市和雇主的影响。雇主认为在家工作可以节省房地产成本,但这些节省的成本是通过将成本转嫁给员工实现的。如果员工没有得到充分的补偿,这将导致一种变异的资本主义形式,即公司利润越来越多地依赖于从公共和个人领域中提取价值,而不是创造新的价值。
步骤 2:分析问题
文章提到,尽管远程工作倡导者支持在家工作,但其他人指出,远程工作会导致孤独感、生产力下降和效率低下。如果在家工作成为永久性的工作方式,员工将不得不将部分私人空间用于工作,这需要购买办公桌、椅子和办公设备。这还意味着需要有专门用于工作的私人空间,这些空间必须有暖气、清洁、维护和费用。
步骤 3:得出结论
文章通过蒙特利尔的估算来说明这些成本,这些成本取决于许多因素。粗略的计算表明,当员工在家工作时,雇主节省的成本与员工应为在家设立办公室而获得的补偿大致相同。如果节省的成本不多,那么在办公室工作的许多优势,如活跃的氛围、快速的沟通、团队建设和新员工的适应能力,将鼓励雇主搁置远程工作的想法,并鼓励员工大部分时间在公司办公空间工作。
