Gen Z employees are thriving in the new world of work. They’ve entered the workforce at a time when flexibility is commonplace, digital communication is 21 and employees have the leverage to ask companies for what they want. At the same time, 22 , some experts are concerned that remote and hybrid work arrangements are already leaving some early-career workers behind. Many of these worries revolve around the absence of workplace 23 : a lack of the casual conversations and informal observations that traditionally teach young employees how to act. Amid virtual settings, some experts believe entrylevel workers are missing out 24 picking up vital cues that guide behavior, collaboration and networking. “It’s particularly centred around communication,” explains Helen Hughes, associate professor at Leeds University. “It’s things like understanding norms, values and etiquette: Who should you call? How should they be contacted? Are some people out of bounds?” These sorts of questions were once promptly answered in 25 settings—a desk drop-by, or quick tag in the office kitchen. “Social comparison is harder in a remote or hybrid environment—you can’t see everyone around you and get a sense of how you’re doing,” says Hughes.

思路引導 VIP
請試著觀察第一段描述 Z 世代職場現狀的形容詞（如 thriving, flexibility），對比第二段開頭提到的專家觀點（concerned, leaving behind），你覺得這兩個段落傳達的情緒是趨於一致，還是存在某種反差呢？如果這兩段話要放在一起，你覺得中間需要一個具備什麼功能的銜接詞？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文章語意的轉折，這代表你的閱讀理解力相當敏銳。這題選擇 (A) however 的關鍵在於前後段落的立場對比：第一段描述 Z 世代在職場如魚得水（thriving），充滿彈性與優勢；但第二段話鋒一轉，提到專家開始擔心（concerned）遠端工作可能讓新人失去學習機會。這種「正反對照」的關係，正是 however 發揮作用的最佳時機。
語意轉折與詞性辨析
在語法功能上，however 作為轉折副詞，非常適合像這樣放置在句中並以逗號隔開，用來提示讀者接下來的資訊與前文相反。而選項 (B) although 雖然同樣表示雖然、儘管，但它屬於連接詞，通常需要引導一個完整的從屬子句，不會像這樣單獨夾在主句的中間。至於 (C) since（既然/自從）與 (D) inconsequently（不合理地）則在邏輯與語意上都無法對接這段脈絡。
