第6题：
资料：It's almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shamel）on a Friday and simply not check your email until you return the office during normal working hours.
The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime, anywhere, thanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected.
But three university researchers have found that it's not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burn out. The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email.
A new study "Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect." by Lehigh University's Liuba Belkin, Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available, never knowing what kind of work requests will asked of them off hours.
Typically, companies don't mean to stress employees out like that. Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours. （expect, perhaps, in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）.
But policies and culture tend to be two different things. If supervisors routinely email employee after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them）, then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails, the employee is expected to be available.
The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day, and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited, such as no emails via the dinner hour, on weekends, or after 10 p. m, the researchers say.
What would you do if you were the policy maker of a company?A.To require an instant respond for after-hour emailing.
B.To abandon after-hour emailing.
C.To tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response.
D.To limit the time of after-hour emailing.答案：D解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】 would you do；the policy maker of a company；policy maker
【主题句】最后一个自然段The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day, and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited, such as no emails via the dinner hour, on weekends, or after 10 p. m, the researchers say. 研究人员说，解决办法是老板告诉员工，下班后的电子邮件不一定需要在下一个工作日之前回复，还可以设置下班后哪些时段发邮件是允许的，哪些是禁止的，比如在晚餐时间、周末或晚上10点之后不发送电子邮件。
【解析】题目意为“如果你是一家公司政策制定者，你会做什么？”选项A意为“要求及时回复邮件。”；选项B意为“放弃下班后邮件”；选项C意为“告诉员工下班后的邮件不一定要回复。”；选项D意为“限制下班时间的电子邮件。”结合主题句，故选D。

第7题：
资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time （even if it’s only an hour!） when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”
What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A.You have to be readily available in the office.
B.People cannot work in a vacuum.
C.People in the office love helping others.
D.Sometimes we have to decline colleagues’ requests.答案：D解析：本题考查的是推理判断。
【关键词】inferred；paragraph 3
【主题句】第3自然段 But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.但是如果你需要完成一些意义重大的工作，就需要一些屏蔽干扰的时间。
【解析】题干意为“从第3自然段可以推断出什么？” 选项A意为“你必须在办公室随时待命”；选项B意为“人们不能在真空中工作”；选项C意为“办公室的人喜欢帮助别人”；选项D意为“有时候我们不得不拒绝同事的要求”；根据主题句可知，虽然在别人需要帮助的时候，我们希望提供帮助。但是，有时我们在做有意义的工作的时候，不得不婉拒同事的请求。故选项D正确。 -

According to paragraph 2, which of the following the “chunk of time” the author is talking about?A.When you are most focused
B.When there is no distractions
C.Late at night
D.Bright and early in the morning答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】paragraph 2；chunk of time
【主题句】第2自然段Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. 无论是在什么时间，确定这段你最高产的时间，在日程中保留这一重要时间段，就像标注其它重要会议一样。
【解析】题干意为“根据第2自然段，作者所说的‘大块的时间’是指哪一个？” 选项A意为“当你最专注的时候”；选项B意为“没有讨论的时候”；选项C意为“晚上”；选项D意为“一大早”。根据主题句可知，大块的时间指的是一天中你注意力最集中、最有效率的时间，故选项A正确。 -

2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS 创造物理阻碍
【解析】题干意为“作者之后也许会讨论什么？” 通览全文可知，文章讲的是如何管理好自己的时间，并给出了两个建议，因此接下来作者也会再提出一个建议，故选项C正确。 -
第10题：
根据以下材料，回答
How often do you let other people′snonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss,or an insensitive employee 1 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove outof a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4 and slid sideways, and at the very lastmoment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches! The driverof the other car looked around and started 6 at us. My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean he wasreally 8 . So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guyalmost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxidriver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He explained that many people are likegarbage trucks. They run around full of 9 , full of frustration,full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 10 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they′ll dump it on 11 . Don′t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and moveon. Believe me. You′ll be 12 . Don′t take their garbage and 13 it to other people at work, at home, oron the streets. Life′ s too short to wake up in the morning with 14 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what′s 15 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychologyresearcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research thatyou 16 bad things more often than good thingsin your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 17 them more frequently. Therefore, love thepeople who treat you right and ignore the ones who don′t. Life is ten percentwhat you make it and ninety percent how you 18 it!
When you follow "The Law of theGarbage Truck", you take back control of your life. You make room for thegood by 19 go of the bad. Have a marvelous,garbage-free Day! The seeds you plant today 20 the harvest you will reap tomorrow.A.latter

正确答案：D
本段开始就提到了使用软件(softWare)工具能节省时间，并且下文重点提到了有些人只买了这些软件，但不去学怎么使用，所以还是不能受益。其实一天的培训就可以使工作变得有条理和效率(Adayoftrainingcanmakeyoufarmoreorganizedandeffective)，所以作者的观点是：买了要学，学了还要用(Buythem.Learnthem.Usethem)，重要的还是要使用了才能提高工作效率。所以本题选D。 -

I don't think there is anything wrong with your blood.______(46).If you don't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening,you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime.If you didn't nap after dinner,you would not want to stay up so late,and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill.______(47).This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal,engage in some sort of physical activity一a sport such as bowling,perhaps.______(48).Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier,and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way,I am sure you will feel less tired during the day.______(49).If so,get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy.If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later,get up but do not take a sleeping pill.Read a while or listen to the radio,and make yourself a few hours' sleep that night.You will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill.______ (50).
The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills.________（50）
A:The key to your problem is that long nap after dinner
B:Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation
C:At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill
D:The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour
E:Having difficulty sleeping is a common problem shared by many people
F: The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning答案：D解析：本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“我认为你的血液没有任何问题”，那么接下来就该说明实际是什么问题，而空格的下一句说“如果在晚上睡觉前你不小憩这几个小时，在晚上该睡觉时你应该很快入眠的”。因此 A与上下文联系最紧密。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和时文章细节的把握。空格的下一句是服安眠药后“导致你一天都感到困乏”，因此这里应该是解释出现这个现象的原因，因此F最符合上下文内容。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“也许应该在晚饭后做些体力活动，比如打保龄球”，而空格后内容是“然后按时或者稍微提前睡觉，你就会不需要安眠药而睡个好觉”，因此B与上下文内容最符合。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。空格后内容是“如果这样的话，你可以起床看电视或在房子周围做些运动，一直到你有睡意”，因此这里的内容应是不服用安眠药后的不适应感。因此C最符合此内容。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。前面说到前一晚由于没有服安眠药没有睡好，因此这里应是“第二天晚上你要准备早睡一个小时”。因此D与此内容最符合。 -
第18题：
资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time （even if it’s only an hour!） when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”
The word “wanes” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:A.increase
B.peak
C.diminish
D.disappear答案：C解析：本题考查的是词义理解。
【关键词】“wanes” in paragraph 2 ；closest in meaning to
【主题句】第2自然段Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. 面对现实：你绝不可能一整天都处于绝对高产的峰值。事实上，往往你在固定的时间内最为专心，而在其余时间里精力则会衰退。
【解析】题干意为“与第2自然段的‘wanes’意思最相近的选项是哪一个？” 选项A意为“增加”；选项B意为“最高点”；选项C意为“减少”；选项D意为“消失”。根据主题句可知，前半句说的是注意力最集中的时候，那后半句应该说的是相反的意思，也就是注意力减少，故选项C正确。 -
第19题：
资料：It’s almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shame！）on a Friday and simply not check your work email again until you return the office during normal working hours。
The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime，anywhere，hanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected。
But three university researchers have found that it’s not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burnout。The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email。
A new study。“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect，”by Lehigh University’s Liuba Belkin，Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available，never knowing what kind of work requests will be asked of them off hours。
Typically，companies don’t mean to stress employees out like that。Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours，（except，perhaps，in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）。
But policies and culture tend to be two different things。If supervisors routinely email employees after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them），then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails，the employee is expected to be available。
The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response before the next work day，and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited，such as no emails via the dinner hour，on weekends，or after 10 p.m.，the researchers say。
What would you do if you were the policy maker of a company？A.To require an instant respond for after-hour emailing
B.To abandon after-hour emailing
C.To tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response
D.To limit the time of after-hour emailing答案：D解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】would you do；the policy maker of a company；policy maker
【主题句】最后一个自然段The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn't necessarily require a response before the next work day， and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited， such as no emails via the dinner hour， on weekends， or after 10 p. m， the researchers say. 研究人员说，解决办法是老板告诉员工，下班后的电子邮件不一定需要在下一个工作日之前回复，还可以设置下班后哪些时段发邮件是允许的，哪些是禁止的，比如在晚餐时间、周末或晚上10点之后不发送电子邮件。
【解析】题目意为“如果你是一家公司政策制定者，你会做什么？”选项A意为“要求及时回复邮件。”；选项B意为“放弃下班后邮件”；选项C意为“告诉员工下班后的邮件不一定要回复。”；选项D意为“限制下班时间的电子邮件。”结合主题句，故选D。

What is the article mainly about?A.How to manage your time well
B.How to overcome different challenges in the office
C.How to win competitions and get promotions
D.How to prevent distractions and focus on big issues答案：D解析：本题考查的是主旨大意。
【关键词】article mainly about
【主题句】第1自然段 But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done.但是我同样明白，如果不制定策略为更大抱负和真正崇高目标腾出时间，它们永远也不会自动完成。
【解析】本题的问题是“文章主要讲什么？”根据主题句可知，文章主要是谈尽管事务众多，要学会为真正的“大事”（重要事务）挤出时间。所以D选项“如何抗干扰，集中精力在重要事务上”正确。 -
