Question

【题目】 Just when you thought you figured out Millennials (those who reached young adulthood around the year 2000), Generation Z is now entering the workforce. A massive 72.8 million individuals are included in this group born between the mid - 1990s and the early 2000s.

Are you ready?

While we have learned how to create a culture where Millennials can do well, what Generation Z needs can be quite different:

Millennials	Generation Z
Don’t just work for a paycheck, they want a purpose.	Money and job security are their top motivators. They want to make a difference but surviving an developing are more important.
They aren’t pursuing job satisfaction, they are pursuing their own development.	They want to gather rewarding experiences. Gen Z tend towards being impatient and often experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), so instant feedback and satisfaction are key.
They don’t want bosses, they want coaches.	They want to be guided in an environment where they can advance quickly. They want to look their leaders in the eye and experience honesty and transparency.
They don’t want annual reviews, they want ongoing conversations.	They don’t want an annual work assessment, they want to be advised and given feedback on an ongoing frequent (daily) basis.
They don’t want to fix their weaknesses, they want to develop their strengths.	They believe that there are winners and losers - and more people fall into the losing category. They want to have the tools to win, either through developing weaknesses or strengths.
They have a cooperative way of thinking where everyone joins in and works together.	72% of Gen Z said they are competitive with doing the same job. They are independent and want to be judged on their own value and showcase their individual talents.
It’s not just their job, it’s their life.	Salary and benefits and how they can advance are central. They are a DIY generation and they feel that other generations have over complicated the workplace.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。短文对“千禧一代”和“Z一代”在职场上的异同点进行了大揭秘。

【1】细节理解题。根据Millennials 中的“They don’t want annual reviews” 他们不需要年度评估。根据Generation Z 中的“They don’t want an annual work assessment”

他们不想要年度工作评估。所以“千禧一代”和“Z一代”对工作评估的看法一致。故选B项。

【2】细节理解题。根据Generation Z 中的“72% of Gen Z said they are competitive with doing the same job. They are independent and want to be judged on their own value and showcase their individual talents.” 可知，72%的Z一代表示做同样的工作，他们很有竞争力。他们是独立的，希望别人对他们的价值进行评判，并展示他们的个人才能。由此可知，他们不喜欢合作，而喜欢竞争。故选C项。

【3】推理判断题。根据第一段Just when you thought you figured out Millennials (those who reached young adulthood around the year 2000), Generation Z is now entering the workforce.（就在你认为自己已经了解了千禧一代(那些在2000年左右成年的人)的时候，Z一代正在进入职场。）以及表格内容，可知短文对“千禧一代”和“Z一代”异同点进行了大揭秘。这有利于招聘公司或者企业或者其它需要员工的岗位更好地了解他们。由此判断出招聘人员最有可能是这篇文章的读者。故选C项。
