问题     For at least a decade, introvert activists have been calling for a revolution: remake the extrovert-dominated workplace. Create a more inclusive culture equally suited to those who work better alone, with less outside stimulation. Then came the pandemic and many of us had to work from home. The 2020 "office" suddenly looked like the answer to an introvert-employee manifesto. It would be "a chance to play to our strengths". Five months on, how is the year of the introvert working out?
    At first it felt unsettling. "Introverts recharge their batteries by being alone," writes Susan Cain in her best-selling Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking. Home is where we do it. So turning a place of escape into an office, and sharing a refuge via video calls, was weird. Yet for introverts anxious about public speaking, it can also be helpful. You may feel less anxious addressing big groups when you’re in your own space secretly wearing your slippers. I do. Which is why I’ve accepted online speaking invitations I would have dodged otherwise.
    WFH meetings have been a revelation. For the first time it is perfectly acceptable to say nothing unless you have something constructive to contribute. This is a relief compared to real life, where it can feel like making your voice heard at any cost is rewarded. Also invaluable for softer-spoken people in a culture that rewards loudness: the levelling power of the volume control. This relieves introverts of a frequent worry: "Will they be able to hear me?" Together, all this has ended the scourge of the introvert: dominant colleagues cutting other people off or ignoring them. In an online room, everyone waits their turn. In theory, that is. Badly run online meetings can be as much of a bear pit as analogue ones. Similarly, the insulating power of those noise-cancelling headphones turns out to be just as essential at home for keeping domestic sounds at bay.
    And what about the lack of workplace camaraderie? For introverts, who do their best work alone, this is not necessarily a problem. And it turns out I see my teammates every day at our online morning meeting. Since March, I have seen them more than anyone I’m related to.
    "OK, but won’t you miss the office chat working at home?" asked my super-sociable work friend, by now sounding a bit incredulous. "Won’t you feel lonely?" It might sound odd but, typically for a solitude loving introvert, I’m not sure I understand the question.
The introverts’ attitude towards telecommuting is one of________.
选项 A、affirmation
B、skepticism
C、contempt
D、indifference
答案A
解析 本题考查的是内向者对于远程办公的态度，可定位至文章最后一段。最后一段通过外向者对于居家办公的疑问及内向者对其疑问的反应，表明了两者对于居家办公的态度。对于外向者而言，他们甚至都不肯相信“在家办公不会感到孤独”，而对于内向者来说，由于喜欢独处，所以“你不会感到孤独吗?”甚至都不能算是个问题，这说明内向者是喜欢居家办公的，且由上文内容也可以得知，居家办公对于内向者来说有很多优势，故选项A“支持”为正确答案。B项“怀疑”、C项“蔑视”、D项“漠不关心”与内向者喜欢居家办公的态度相反，故全部排除。
