39、rom J36, M6.Manchester1 hour 30 minutes.”可知,从曼彻斯特到霍克大约需要一个半小时。 2.B。细节理解题。根据Admission Charges部分中的门票标准可知,参观Hall & Gardens的团体票票价为每人9英镑。 3.D。细节理解题。根据Winter Market部分第二句“Wander among a variety of shops selling gifts while enjoying a live music show and nice street entertainment.”可知,如果你想看现场音乐表演,可以去Winter M

40、arket。B本文通过分析数据论述了员工的敬业与公司的盈利以及其他方面之间的关系。 4.C。词义理解题。根据文章第二段可知，敬业有别于满足感或快乐，而是指员工对公司的情感认同度，以及知道该做什么以提升价值并愿意采取行动的程度。因此C项符合文意。 5.D。词义猜测题。文章第四段的文意是：这项调查发现世界各地的员工有21%是敬业的，另有41%则是“乐业”，即他们正朝着敬业的目标迈进。 enroll的基本意思是“把编入”，根据文中对这个词汇的解释which means theyre on the road to engagement可以推测出enrolled在这里引申为“即将敬业的”。 6.D。推理

41、计算题。根据文章第六段可知，敬业员工约有50%表示自己没有离开现职的打算，但无心认真工作的员工只有15%这么想。因此500名无心认真工作的员工中想要离开现职的有500(1-15%)=425（人）。因此答案为D项。 7.A。推理判断题。文章最后一段陈述了“薪水的高低固然重要，却未能跻身敬业的十大动力行列，公司应该访查自己的员工，以便评定员工追求什么”，所以下文应该是向大家列举能促使员工敬业的十大动力。C本文是一篇说明文,介绍了从2012年开始的“给予星期二”活动。 8.A。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Starting in 2012, now the global event that is

42、 celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.”可知,Giving Tuesday的历史最短。 9.B。推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conduc

43、ting random acts of kindness.”可知,Giving Tuesday活动的目的是鼓励更多的人做善事。 10.C。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!”可知,作者建议在社交媒体上分享善举是为了让更多人加入Giving Tuesday的活动中来。 11.C。推理判断题。文章向我们介绍了Giving Tuesday活动的情况,属

44、于文化方面的内容。故选C项。D本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种把锻炼身体和虚拟现实相结合的新型健身器材。 12.A。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“It will be offered by the Young Mens Christian Association(YMCA), a nonprofit organization devoted to youth development and healthy living.”可知,该机器是给年轻人锻炼身体用的。 13.C。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的Users put on virtual reality goggles(防护眼镜)可知,使用者

45、需戴特制眼镜。 14.C。推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“Youre having fun.”和第七段最后一句“It may seem like a lot of hard work just to get good exercise, but everyone knows how boring gyms can be.”可知,Nathan觉得使用这种机器要比在健身房锻炼有趣得多。 15.B。主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“At least thats the promise of a new piece of exercise equipment that combines physical

46、exercise with the virtual reality(虚拟现实) experience of flying through the air like Superman.”可知,本文主要介绍了一种新型健身设备。二、本文是一篇说明文,讲述了在充满挑战的环境中如何保持高效。1.G。根据前一句“很多公司都面临着如何保证工作效率和质量的挑战”可知,G项“经理们都在激励员工提高工作效率”符合语境。 2.E。根据该段第一句“Half the battle is won once you prioritize(优先处理) your tasks.”可知,E项“你一旦开始优先处理一些工作,你不但能专注你的工作而且能变得高效”符合语境。 3.C。根据本空前一句“Dont overstretch yourself with your work.”可知,不能超负荷工作;本空后面的内容建议人们要适当小憩一会儿,故选C项“将工作分成几个部分来完成”。 4.A。本空为该段小标题。该段主要讲如何避免被分散注意力,故选A项。 5.F。根据该段小标题“Cut outside noise.”可知,该段在讲如何避免噪音的干扰,F项也是避免噪音干扰的一种方法,故选F项。
