Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high—speed railway system．And that’s not a11．China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．
China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming withSingapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beiling in under two days．
The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．
China’s bullet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours． Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge(轨距)，maintenance of railway tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．
But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rath er than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．
It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countnes．
For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11．And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．
67．China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D． the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism

第1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.
The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that____A.they are both bread winners and housewives
B.their home is also a place for kicking back
C.there is often much housework left behind
D.it is difficult for them to leave their office答案：A解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道推理题。主要考查考生精准理解原文定位信息，查找相互关联，并进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“blurring of…roles”定位到第三段末句“With the blurring of roles，…”。但从中并不能找到答案，故推测答案在上文，最终锁定在“For many men,the end of the workday is…，with the blurring of role…”。意思是“对男性而言，一天工作结束后他们便可以休息，但对女性来说，离开办公室之后，还有很多家务活”。由此可以推出，“The blurring of working women's roles”指的是女性既要上班又要照顾家庭。综合判断，确定A项为最佳答案。【干扰排除】B项为反向干扰，原文指出女性下班回家后，还有很多家务要做，故排除。C项以偏概全，只强调了“the blurring roles”中“家务活”这个方面，故排除。D项是张冠李戴，选项内容属于“women who stay home”的信息，故排除。 -
第2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 is true about the policy and the culture?A.They are inconsistent about the attitude toward after hour's emails.
B.They both push the employees to be available all the time.
C.They are consistent about the attitude towards after hour's emails.
D.They both don't mean to stress the employees out.答案：A解析：本题考查细节理解。

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 l'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 are likely certain times when you are 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 arrive in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identity that when you feel your 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, designed period when you can at least 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 forces if you're going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods l've found is to put physical barriers between us. I'll work from a conference room or even from home on accession 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.

Why Not Eat Breakfast?
Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day,it is also the most neglected
or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time,not feeling
hungry,traditional dislike for breakfast,and dieting.
Breakfast simply means"break the fast."Your body spends at least six to twelve
hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up（转动
起来）into high gear for the day's work ahead.
If you skip breakfast,you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning,
feel irritable, short-tempered（易怒的）,tired, or weak.
When you choose not to eat breakfast,your body stays in slow gear.Also,people
who skip breakfast often binge（无节制地大吃）later in the day at other meals or eat a high-
calorie（高卡路里）snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the
day,have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving
ability.
A good breakfast should provide up to 1 /3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On
the average,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't
appeal to you in the morning,try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half
your dinner for breakfast in the morning.
If you still aren't hungry in the morning,start with something small like juice or toast or
have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.
Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat,since a fall in blood sugar often
makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse,since your body is in a slowed
state,it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body
healthy snacks and meals throughout the day,you are less likely to become extremely
hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.
Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day,choosing the right fuel
is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits,juice,lean meat,and grain products
such as breads,rice,noodles,and cereals.You can improve your appetite for breakfast by
A:drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.
B:not eating too much for dinner in the evening.
C:eating a big dinner in the evening.

第13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。

Why the study said people are“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect”?A.Because they never know what kind of work requests will be asked off hours.

第15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。 -

What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.It’s shame if you check your email all the time.

【解析】题目意为“从第一自然段可以推断出什么？”选项A意为“如果你一直查看邮件，那就太遗憾了”；选项B意为“员工们愿意在工作日的最后一天离开工作”；选项C意为“虽然不是工作时间，但员工们还是被期望回复邮件”；选项D意为“工作邮件是员工日常生活的一部分” ，根据主题句，重返公司后才查看邮件的行为是有些“遭天谴”的，因此推断可知，即使在工作时间，员工也被期望回复邮件。
