2、[主观题]【补充段落】Why Employees Want Hybrid Work
Hybrid work is a big departure from the traditional work model. It is a flexible approachthat allows employees to split their time between working in the office and working fromhome. Employees see the values in hybrid work. A survey conducted with WakefieldResearch shows that almost half of employees would likely look for another job if theiremployer doesn't offer a flexible work model. Therefore, it's no surprise that data from ourmost recent survey shows that 77% of companies have already opted to go hybrid. What'smore, 56% of those companies are allowing employees to choose when and how often theywish to come into the office. So, what attracts employees to a hybrid work mode1?
_____________
In addition to a better work-life balance，another value of hybrid work models is toreduce exposure to illness. The last two years have made some people nervous to embracebusy spaces again. In fact，87% of employees said last year they were worried about theirhealth and safety when it came to returning to work.Hybrid working means fewer people inthe workplace at one time. This lowers the chance of a sick employee infecting others.And since people have the option to work remotely under most hybrid work models，a sickemployee can stay home altogether to protect their coworkers.
Finally，employees can choose to work when and how they're most efficient. In anoffice-first model，people are expected to be on the clock between 9 am and 5 pm everyworkday. In a hybrid work model，employees have more flexibility to get work done whenand where they're most productive. This means flexible schedules and locations. For example,some people work best early in the morning while others do better in the evening. They canalso choose to work with teammates on-site or work from a remote location.
In conclusion, hybrid work can help employees strike a better balance between work andlife, become less exposed to illness， and work more efficiently than traditional office-basedwork models. Employees can alternate between home and the office seamlessly in a hybridwork model—-without a dip in productivity. The hybrid model is no longer an alternative styleof work. It's here to stay. Companies today must meet the needs of their workforce or risklosing talent to employers that do.

3、[主观题]I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points)
The following passage is incomplete with one paragraph missing. Study the following passage carefully and write a paragraph of about 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided
To Change or Not to Change?
In the modern workplace there is no longer the attitude that “a job is for life.”Nowadays, many people take the option to change jobs, while others prefer not to. In my opinion, there are both good and bad points of the above attitudes.
One of the main benefits of staying in one job is security. Changing an employer often means a period of instability, where one may have to think about moving house, or temporarily losing a steady source of income. Staying in one job means these problems are avoided. Another benefit of not changing an occupation is that one is able to gain a lot of experience and expertise in his specific profession, thus enhancing job security. One’s company may recognize his loyalty and reward his service. On the other hand, those who often change jobs may be seen as unreliable and lacking in experience; thus employers might be reluctant to hire and invest training in them.

Overall, it can be said that the disadvantages of changing jobs are the advantages of staying put, and vice versa. In my opinion, changing jobs every once in a while is of more benefit.

4、[主观题]II. Write an outline (20 points)
Read the following passage carefully and compose a “sentence outline” for it.
Nowadays, giant jumble jets carry millions of people each day to and from almost all corners of the globe, giving most people the chance of visiting distant countries. However, many of us are sometimes, troubled by unfamiliar customs and traditions and are puzzled by the way foreigners behave. In my essay, both sides of the argument would be presented and analyzed as to whether we should follow the customs of the visited country, or all nations should be more willing to embrace exotic culture.
Some people maintain that it is better for one to adopt host countries’ culture for the following reasons. First of all, as the old saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” by observing and following their particular way of doing things, travelers can greatly reduce the chances of misunderstanding and embarrassment. For instance, it is advisable not to ask a western lady personal questions such as her age or her marital status on the first meeting, which is common practice in China. Secondly, a nation’s customs and traditions are often fascinating and offer a unique insight into that very country. Obviously, people travel in order to broaden their horizon or merely to relax and enjoy themselves. But these aims could not be satisfactorily fulfilled if they have no idea about a country’s culture. Moreover, your interest in and understanding of their ways of life could help to establish a rapport with the local people, because people feel respected when their customs and behaviors are understood and imitated, and by doing things in their way, you become unconsciously a member of them and thus will no longer experience culture shocks.
However, others also have strong reasons to believe that a country should tolerate and embrace foreign culture. In the first place, no country should cling to its old customs and traditions at all cost and expect others to follow suit. Culture should also be subject to changes brought about by advances in science and technology and the process of globalization. Like everything else, numerous traditional practices have been abandoned and people are forming new customs all the time. Besides, instead of challenging and damaging the local traditions, the customs brought by international visitors actually help to enhance our awareness of our own culture, by pointing out that what we take for granted is really not universally praised but rather unique characteristics of our own. In China, for instance, the Spring Festival is being celebrated with ever more enthusiasm despite the popularity of Christmas. Moreover, it is unjustifiable and unrealistic to expect visitors to alter their ways of doing things, and pick up some new behaviors and customs at short notice. Many Chinese Americans, for example, still live exclusively in Chinatowns and celebrate all the traditional Chinese holidays. Like a religious belief, one should be allowed to follow their own customs whenever and wherever they like.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter view that people can keep their own customs and nations should welcome cultural differences and integrate the positive aspects from other cultures to update their own. Apparently, if all are open-minded about different traditions and behaviors, the idea of a global village could come true in every corner of the earth, with people living in harmony and each enjoying his own cultural heritage.
