解析

本文是一篇议论文,作者围绕“努力工作有益于身体健康”这一论点展开论述。体裁为纯议论性的完形填空题是高考命题的一大趋势,对考生来说,这类试题有一定的难度。解题时不仅要注意句子中的词语搭配,更要从整体上把握文章的结构,按照文章的行文逻辑进行合理的推断,如:第2、6、7、12、13、19题。
小题1:从文章的主题句Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.,可得出“职业妇女比家庭主妇更健康”的结论。A项为语法错误。
小题2:该选项与下文的the job-holders构成对比,“没有工作的人比有工作的人身体差”。
小题3:that引导宾语从句,从句中又有一个whenever引导的时间状语从句。句意为“研究表明当失业率上升1%,死亡率相应上升2%。”
小题4:该题句意为“所有这些归结为一点。”come down to归结为;equal to等于;add up to 合计为;amount to总共到;相当于。
小题5:该句句意为“这是因为工作使人忙碌,使人们远离孤独和寂寞。”keep sb. away from是固定搭配,意为“使……远离/避开……”。
小题6:从下文…and lonely when they have nothing to do进行逻辑推理,可知“没事做的人会感到不开心、焦虑和孤独”。
小题7:从上文内容可知,最快乐的人是那些大忙人。
小题8:该句句意为“工作充当了人与现实生活联系的桥梁”。
小题9:该句句意为“通过工作人们开始相互联系/接触”。
小题10:失去了工作就意味着失去了这一切。mean意味着。
小题11:从意义上分析,A、C项不符合上下文的逻辑关系;B项过于严重,失去工作还达不到“死亡”的程度。
小题12:从文章的篇章结构上分析,上文讲述的是工作给人们带来的益处,下文还是讲述这方面的内容,属递进关系,不是转折关系。
小题13:从意义上判断,此题必须同前面的a sense of fulfillment(充实感)意义相类似,所以选B“成就感”。
小题14:从下文的his writing可判断出答案。
小题15:根据医生从事的工作性质可断定是“成功地为病人动手术”。
小题16:“学生成长”主要表现在知识、阅历上的长进。
小题17:beyond words无法用语言表达;in a word简言之;without a word 二话没说; at a word反应迅速地,立即。
小题18:从语法结构上分析,conclusion之后为同位语从句,that引导同位语从句时,不作成分但不能省略。
小题19:这是一个“the +比较级,the +比较级”句型,句意为“工作越多,人就会越高兴、越健康”。
小题20:从句子结构上判断,此句有三个并列的谓语动词;同时注意修饰动词要用副词不能用形容词。

The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to ten points off the user’s IQ.
This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labeled(把……称为)the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.
The noticeable drop in IQ is believed to be the result of the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the tasks in hand.
The brain also finds it hard to deal with keeping lots of tasks in motion at once, reducing its overall effectiveness. While modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive(过度的)use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to his or her social life.
Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ damage and 1,100 adults were interviewed.
More than six in ten people polled admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mail and text messages so that they examined work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an e-mail and one in five would interrupt a meeting to do so.
Furthermore, infomania is having a negative effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and disagreeing feelings. Nine out of ten polled thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. Yet one in three Britons believed that it was not only acceptable, but actually diligent and efficient to do so.
67. What does the underlined part mean?
A.A person’s IQ drops ten points if he or she always checks electronic messages.
B. The person who has a higher IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.
C. The person who has a lower IQ enjoys checking electronic messages.
D. A person’s IQ is ten points higher if he or she always checks electronic messages.
68. What happens to people with infomania?
A. People with infomania can only concentrate on their tasks in hand.
B. people with infomania are addicted to smoking marijuana.
C. People with infomania can’t respond to technology immediately.
D. People with infomania can’t concentrate on their tasks in hand.
69. From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. about 550 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediately
B. about 670 interviewees responded to an e-mail immediately
C. about 50 taking part in clinical trials on IQ were addicted to checking e-mails
D. about 16 taking part in clinical trials on IQ refused to answer e-mails immediately
70. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can be compared to smoking marijuana.
B. Modern technology can damage a person’s mind.
C. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can harm your IQ.
D. Electronic messages have side effects on the user’s life.

Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion(混淆) over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever.
Sudan1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.
Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.
Last week Sudan’s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dye’s name.
Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan’s Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye.
  "We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship."
The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week.
 "They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out."
Sudan dyes, which include Sudan1 to 4, are red dyes(颜料) used for colouring solvents(溶剂), oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
小题1: What does the underlined word mean in paragraph one?
A.Causing cancer.B.Having side effect.C.Containing poison.D.Poisonous.
小题2:How did the Sudan1 get its name?
A.The dye is often produced in Sudan.
B.The dye has something to do with the country named Sudan.
C.Nobody is sure of the origin of the name.
D.Many foods produced in Sudan contain the dye.
小题3:We can infer from the passage that.
A.the Sudan government is paying much attention to the food safety
B.Sudan1 is often used to be added to the food
C.people didn’t realize the danger of Sudan1 until 2003
D.many food shops will be closed down
小题4:Which of the following is the best title?
A.Keep away from Sudan1
B.No Sudan1 dye links to the country

Wine drinkers tend to buy healthier food than beer drinkers, according to a Danish study published on Tuesday on the website of a weekly medical magazine.
People who bought wine at the store were also more likely to buy fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat (瘦肉) and milk than beer buyers did, said the study.
Beer buyers were more likely to buy frozen dinners, cold cuts, pork, sugary products, and soft drinks.
The study was conducted by four researchers from the National Institute of Public Health over the course of six months.
Alcohol researchers Erik Schulenburg and Marten Greenback and two other doctors collected 3.5 million receipts from 98 stores. The customers at the stores represented a large number of Danish people, they said.
“Our results confirm international studies which show that wine drinkers tend to eat more fruit, vegetables and fish and rarely eat fats, compared to those who like other kinds of alcoholic drinks,” they concluded.
Wine buyers also tended to have higher education levels, higher earnings and be in better mental health, they added.
Their interest in consumers’ shopping bags followed a series of studies in the Danish media. The studies suggested that wine drinkers ran a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and some types of cancer than beer drinkers.
小题1:The passage mainly tells us that wine drinkers ______.
A.eat more vegetables than beer drinkers
B.usually buy healthier food than beer drinkers
C.are mostly healthier than beer drinkers
D.run a lower risk of diseases than beer drinkers
小题2:According to the passage, beer buyers are less likely to buy ______.

B.collecting receipts from stores
C.watching what customers bought at stores
D.visiting some families throughout the country

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of “temporary”) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
小题1:How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?     
A.Talk to friends.B.Just ignore it.
C.Go to see a doctor.D.Ask your teachers for guidance.
小题2:“It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ___________.
A.temporary lonelinessB.situational loneliness
C.a new placeD.sleeplessness
小题3:Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A.Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B.Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness
C.Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D.Chronic loneliness is incurable.
小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
A.Three kinds of lonelinessB.Loneliness and disease
C.Loneliness and social contactsD.Chronic loneliness
