3.Although the word workaholic (工作狂) usually has a negative meaning,it is sometimes used by people wishing to express their devotion to their career positively.The"work"in question is usually associated with a paying job,but it may also refer to independent pursuits (追求) such as sports,music and art.A workaholic in the negative sense is popularly characterized by a neglect of family and other social relations.Similarly,people considered to be workaholics tend to lose track of time.
Workaholism is an addiction,and it's not the same as working hard.Experts say the continuous work-related activity masks anxiety,low self-esteem (自尊),and privacy problems.Workaholics feel the urge of being busy all the time,to the point that they often perform tasks that aren't required or necessary for project completion.As a result,they tend to be inefficient workers,since they focus on being busy,instead of focusing on being productive.In addition,workaholics tend to be less effective than other workers because it's difficult for them to work as part of a team,they have trouble entrusting co-workers,or they take on so much that they aren't as organized as others.Workaholics are occupied with work all the time,which prevents them from maintaining healthy relationships,hobbies,or even take measures to protect their health.
As with addictions to alcohol,drugs or gambling,workaholics'harmful behavior will continue despite advice from loved ones or danger signs such as worsening relationships.Poor health is another warning sign.Because there's less of social shame attached to workaholism than to other addictions,health symptoms can easily go unrecognized.In the U.S.and Canada,workaholism remains what it's always been:the so-called"respectable addiction"that's dangerous as any other.Workaholism in Japan is considered a serious social problem leading to early death,often on the job,a phenomenon called karōshi (过劳死).
As with other psychological addictions,workaholics often cannot see that they have a problem.Reasoning the workaholic out of the problem will generally be met with denial.Co-workers,family members and friends may need to communicate the effects of the workaholic's behavior to them.Indeed,mental treatment to cure a workaholic can successfully reduce the hours spent on the job,while increasing the person's productivity.Studies show that fully recovered former workaholics can accomplish in 50hours what they previously couldn't do in 80.

分析 短文介绍了那些醉心于工作的人的特点,我们称之为"工作狂",对于这种人不同的人由不同的态度,并介绍了他们沉迷于工作带来的问题,最后提出了几点治疗方法.

解答 71.devoted/committed,由第一段it is sometimes used by people wishing to express their devotion to their career positively可知有人认为工作狂就是全心奉献于工作的人.  
72.neglect/overlook/ignore,由句子A workaholic in the negative sense is popularly characterized by a neglect of family and other social relations.可知有人觉得工作狂就是忽视家人朋友亲人的人.
73.busy/occupied,由句子Workaholics feel the urge of being busy all the time可知工作狂的人一直要让自己处于繁忙的状态.
74.individual,由句子 because it's difficult for them to work as part of a team,they have trouble entrusting co-workers可知工作狂的人很难与别人合作,因此他们更偏向于个人的工作.
75.fail,由第二段Workaholics are occupied with work all the time,which prevents them from maintaining healthy relationships,hobbies,or even take measures to protect their health. 可知他们无法有一定的兴趣爱好,没法维持好自己的身体健康等,表示"做某事失败"使用短语fail to do sth.. 
76.Problems/Troubles,第三段主要描述的就是工作狂带来的问题,因此小标题是"工作狂的问题或困扰".
77.recognized/noticed/seen,由第三段Because there's less of social shame attached to workaholism than to other addictions,health symptoms can easily go unrecognized.可知他们的健康问题很难被注意到.
78.life,由句子Workaholism in Japan is considered a serious social problem leading to early death,often on the job,a phenomenon called karōshi (过劳死) 可知如果没有认真处理的话,工作狂会减少一个人的寿命.  
79.Treatments/Cures,由最后一段可知是对工作狂的治疗,因此使用名词的复数形式Treatments/Cures.   
80.communication,由最后一段Co-workers,family members and friends may need to communicate the effects of the workaholic's behavior to them.可知应跟工作狂的人交流他们这种行为的影响,communication作为"交流,沟通"是不可数名词,因此填原形.

点评 在做表格阅读时,首先需要快速的浏览全文,把握文章的主旨大意;其次要学会带着问题到文中相应的地方,通过细节阅读来寻找或概括答案;最后理清作者的写作思路也非常重要;做此类题时,要多注意一些关键词的提取,以及结构上的搭配.

13.Young Mr Smith had an idea for his employer.It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices.At the same time,Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.If his employer liked the idea,Mr Smith might be given more pay.
Business had been very slow.So Mr Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea.But then she shook her head."I am sorry,Mr Smith,"his employer said,"it just will not wash."
Now,the meeting of these English words should be,"It will not get clean."Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean.So why did his employer say"it just will not wash"?
Most word experts agree that"it will not wash"means it will not work.Eric Partridge wrote that the saying probably developed in Britain in the 1800s.charlotte Bronte used it in a story published in 1849.She wrote,"That will not wash,Miss."Miss Bronte seems to have meant that the dyes used to color a piece of clothing were not good.The colors could not be depended on to stay in the material.
In nineteenth century England,the expression came to mean an undependable statement.It was used mainly to describe an idea.But sometimes it was used about a person.
A critic once said of the poet Robert Browning,"He won't wash."The critic did not mean that the poet was not a clean person.he meant that Browning's poems could not be depended on to last.
Today,we know that judgment was wrong.Robert Browning still considered a major poet.But very few people remember the man who said Browning would not wash.

25.When did the saying"It will not wash"probably come into being?B
A.In the 1700s.B.In the 1800s.
C.In the 17th century.D.In the 20th century.
26.What did Mr Smith's employer mean by saying"it just will not wash"?B
A.She thought he didn't express himself clearly.
B.She didn't think his idea was a good one.
C.He needed to look smarter and cleaner at work.
D.The dyes he used to color a piece of clothing did not last.
27.What did the critic probably mean by saying of the poet Robert Browning,"He won't wash."?C
A.Robert Browning was not a clean person.
B.Robert Browning liked to use dirty words.
C.Browning's poems were not good enough.
D.Browning's poems were very good.
28.Which of the following is TRUE about the saying"it just will not wash"?A
A.Now it can be used to describe both an idea and a person.
B.It is related to making something clean.
C.It is used to mean that the colors fade easily.
D.It is used to describe a person who is dirty.

15.People usually think of fishing as a warm-weather pastime.But some fishers say the activity is best when it is (61)freezing(freeze) outside.Those people are called ice fishermen.When it gets really cold,they are in their element.In parts of the northern United States and all over Canada,ice fishing is a big sport.People wait all year (62)for lakes and rivers in their cities to freeze.They drive trucks and snowmobiles on the ice,cut a hole into the water,and drop a lure.

10.阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求).
[1]The health of our children and young people matters to us,and it matters to them.We should help them understand what makes and keeps them healthy and what to do when they have worries,are not feeling so good,or are simply ill.
[2]While health promotion,the process of enabling people to manage and improve their own health,plays a key role.a key significant and early point of private contact with health services for a teenager is their GP.While GPs continue to improve in terms of their confidence and ability to make a child patient feel comfortable,it is not yet a guaranteed good experience for teenagers-they may not always.while talking to a doctor and some express feeling embarrassed while seeking advice from their GP
[3]Thus,two changes are required  Firstly,better professional development.GPs do have some training in child development but it is not enough After all,learning how to talk to 12-18 year olds,and even more importantly,how to listen to what they have to say and encourage them to speak up; and to be confident that they understand what is said to them before they leave,takes time  Secondly,we can include young people as the"teachers"here to help GPs learn how to interact effectively with their younger patients.GPs would benefit from feedback about their manners,the quality and simplicity of their communication and their way of explaining treatments and next steps-going beyond theory to learning by doing.
[4]In addition.children and young people are those with the time and energy to put into making our communities healthy.As enthusiastic learners,teenagers contribute through voluntary activities far more than adults and are deeply interested in the health services.And in doing so they are able to educate themselves in ways which can change lives.
76.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?(no more than 15 words )To give suggestions on how to help children/teenagers improve their health
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)
feel comfortable/be comfortable/be relaxed/take things easy/take it easy
78.What's the meaning of the underlined word"interact"in Paragraph 3?(no more than 3 words)communicate/exchange ideas/have a talk
79.Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 4.(no more than 5 words)Young people can make contributions to the health services byParticipating in/taking part in voluntary activities 
80.Du you think teenagers should participate in the health services?State your reasons.(no more than 20 words)yes,I do.Because health services are important to teenagers and the best way of promotion is learning by doing.
