  • 第4题:

    Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
    According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home_____

    A.was an unrealistic place for relaxation
    B.generated more stress than the workplace
    C.was an ideal place for stress measurement
    D.offered greater relaxation than the workplace

    答案:D

    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位,并能正确划分和掌握定位信息的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“Paragraph 1,most previous surveys”定位到首段首句。由A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys可知most previous surveys和a new study的研究结论相反,即正确答案和people are actually more stressed at home than at work表述的意思相反。对比四个选项可知D项为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项属过度推理,原文虽提到在家比在工作中有更多的压力,但并不能推测出“不是休闲放松的理想场所”。B项属于偷换概念,虽首段第一句出现了“more stress”以及“the workplace”,但文章中是指“人们感到在家比在工作中压力更大”,而不是B项所指的“家能产生更多的压力”。C项指“家是测量压力的理想场所”,属于无中生有。

  • 第12题:

    问答题
    Practice 3  Directions:  Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words.  All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food is left uneaten as garbage. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub-Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.  In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.  Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失效) date. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create? Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.

    正确答案: 【范文】
    Food wasting exists both in developing and developed countries. The rich countries waste their food because they buy a mount of items more than they need and always choose the best products, leaving other products out of date. The developing countries waste their food because they don’t have appropriate methods to store and distribute their food. Nevertheless, China has both problems and still need to make efforts to reduce hunger.
    With the rapid development of economy, people’s standard of living increases, but waste phenomena also appear. Therefore, in my opinion, the whole society must work together to solve this problem. For government, they can continue to carry out some activities like “Clean Plate Campaign” and arouse the public’s awareness of saving food. For individuals, we should practice thrifty as a virtue. When buying our food in a restaurant or in a supermarket, we should remind ourselves that many people in the world still have no food to eat.

    填空题
    What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?Working at home is getting popular but most people need to meet their colleagues ____.

    正确答案: face to face.
    解析:
    主旨题。由录音中的最后一句话可知,实际上,人们不能只在家工作而不面对面地接触同事。所以此处应填face to face。
    【录音原文】
      With the increasing use of the Internet, it is becoming more and more common for people to work at home. There appear to be many advantages to this. First, it saves time and money normally spent on traveling. It also reduces pollution. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose when and how you work. It’s not necessary that everyone stick to a nine-to-five working day. You can be your own boss. However, there just isn’t enough human interaction if you only work at home. Real communication seems to be absent. Perhaps younger people don’t have this problem as they can use online communication techniques. But employees who work at home seem to spend too much time online trying to find people to meet face to face. In fact, most people are not able to work just at home without meeting their colleagues face to face sometimes.
    Q 11: why are more and more people able to work at home?
    Q 12: What are the advantages of working at home?
    Q 13: What is another advantage of working at home?
    Q 14: What is the problem with working at home only?
    Q 15: What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?
