Benefits of being a digital nomad

A digital nomad is someone who uses technology to work from anywhere in the world. Working as a digital nomad has become a popular way of living now.

1 Most people know that digital nomads can decide by themselves where or when to work. Not only can you wake up in a country on the other side of the world, but you can wake up at any time you like.

You can make travel a regular part of your life, instead of just traveling for two short weeks per year.

It can be stressful to squeeze into crowded subways during rush hour. 2 Never will you have to feel like a sardine(沙丁鱼) in a packed subway car. So if you say goodbye to your commute(上下班路程), you could be happier.

3 Not only will you meet residents(居民) of the country you land in, but you’ll also meet fellow digital nomads who come from countries all over the world. You’ll get a chance to develop friendships with people you would never meet if you stayed at home.

Being a nomad is a journey through life that can take you around the world and back again. With so many experiences, it is natural that you will have many interesting stories to share with others. People will be attracted to that, whether in your business or personal life. 4 It may seem that remote job chances are slim, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. You can train yourself in particular skills to become a freelancer(自由职业者), or you can start your own business from scratch. Don’t sell yourself short by thinking that digital nomad jobs are one-in-a-million. 5 You can grow at your own pace — it’s all up to you when you’re a digital nomad. A. The opportunities are endless.

B. You can meet people from all over the world.

C. You can be flexible about your work schedule.

D. As a result, the experiences as a nomad make you more popular. E. It could also be a financially clever choice to become a digital nomad. F. If you’re a digital nomad, you can leave those cold, dark months behind. G. When you work as a nomad, however, you’ll never have to commute again.

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文, 介绍了一种新兴的生活方式——数字游牧民。数字游牧民通过训练使自己成为自由职业者, 这样他们就可以自己决定在什么地方或什么时候工作了。

1. 【★解析★】选C。通读段落, 找到空格后的核心内容decide by themselves where or when to work, 后文用“not only. . . but”结构具体解释了时间和地点的随意性, 突出日程安排的灵活性, C项中的 flexible与段落核心一致, 故选择C项。

2. 【★解析★】选G。空格前介绍在上下班高峰期挤地铁的情形, 空格后说明“你再也不必像一条沙丁鱼一样挤在拥挤的地铁车厢里”, 显然前后文为转折关系, 且段落核心与 “commute”有关, 故选择G项。 3. 【★解析★】选B。该空格为段首句, 通常为统领全段的主旨句。通读后文, 提炼关键内容“meet residents of the country you land in”“meet fellow digital nomads”“develop friendships with people you would never meet”。从中可以看出, 作为数字游牧民, 你可以结识世界各地形形色色的人, 故选择B项。

4. 【★解析★】选D。该空格为段尾句, 通常为概括总结全段的句子。

前文介绍你的经历会让你有很多有趣的故事与别人分享, 由此可以推断出你的经历会让你变得更受欢迎。空格前的experiences与D选项中的experiences为原词复现, 也可以帮助印证答案。

5. 【★解析★】选A。似乎远程工作的机会是渺茫的, 但这与事实相去甚远, 即事实上远程工作的机会还是有很多的。不要低估自己, 觉得数字游牧民的工作是万里挑一的, 其实机会非常多。故选择A项。 阅读填句

How similar are language and music?

Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is part of many people’s lives. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.

·Both language and music have a writing system.

In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.

You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music
