They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt healthier diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January. Bu
38、t some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson&Johnson (j&j), an American health-care company. The plan promotes weight loss, smoking quitting and efforts to reduce blood pressure. The fi

40、ress among j&j employees occurred. This coincided with a period when the firm had a target of lifting productivity by 9% a year. So the employees may have been leaner and fitter, but it is possible that workplace pressure to produce more meant greater stress.All this suggests that employee well-bein
41、g is a rather more complex topic than can be tackled by a programme devoted to exercise and healthy living. A study by Rand Europe, a research institute, found that obvious bad habits such as smoking and high alcohol use were in fact not associated with lower productivity, while obese workers were n
42、o more likely to take time off than anyone else. The biggest productivity problems were associated with lack of sleep, financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return
43、 from any wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should not be too blatant. Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry (野战军) on a course before sending them to face the machine guns. A better impact on morale (士气) (and thus pro
44、ductivity) might occur if workers felt that their managers had a genuine interest in their welfare.8. What does the author want to tell us by the example of Johnson&Johnson?A. A healthy lifestyle can contribute to higher productivity.B. Caring for employees physical health is of great importance.C.
45、A health program is not enough to improve employee well-being.D. A wellness program benefits both the company and the employees.9. What does the study by Rand Europe indicate?A.

49、in 2005-08, a sharp jump in alcohol use, depression and stress among j&j employees occurred.(然而，康涅狄格大学的马丁切尔尼克对这些数据进行的一项研究发现，在2005年至2008年期间，强生员工中饮酒、抑郁和压力的比例急剧上升)可推知，作者想通过Johnson&Johnson的例子告诉我们健康计划不足以改善员工的健康状况。故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的The biggest productivity problems were associated with lack of sleep,
50、 financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.可知，最大的生产力问题与睡眠不足、经济问题和心理健康问题有关，这些因素很可能与工作压力直接相关。由此可知，工作压力是工作效率低的原因。故选B。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段中It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programm
51、e that they provide.(对于公司来说，从他们提供的任何健康计划中期待一定程度的经济回报似乎是合理的)及Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry (野战军) on a course before sending them to face the machine guns.(让员工更健康，这样你就可以让他们更努力地工作，这看起来更像是在训练步兵，然后再让他们面对机枪)可知，划线词所在句意为“这种取舍不应太显眼。”由此推知，划线
52、词的意思是“明显的”。故选D。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson&Johnson (j&j), an American health-care company.(但一些雇主试图通过提供“健康”计划来帮助员工坚持自己的目标。历史最悠久的例子之一始于1979年的强生公司，这是
53、一家美国医疗保健公司)及第四段中All this suggests that employee well-being is a rather more complex topic than can be tackled by a programme devoted to exercise and healthy living. (所有这些都表明，员工福利是一个相当复杂的话题，不是一个致力于锻炼和健康生活的项目可以解决的)及最后一段中的It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return from an
54、y wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should not be too blatant.( 对于公司来说，从他们提供的任何健康计划中期待一定程度的经济回报似乎是合理的。但是这种取舍不应太显眼)可知，这篇文章的目的是“对一些商业管理实践提出质疑。”故选C。【点睛】做词义猜测题时，利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其要抓住所需推断词汇前后的含义进行判断。本题第3小题，根据最后一段中It seems reasonable for comp
55、anies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programme that they provide.(对于公司来说，从他们提供的任何健康计划中期待一定程度的经济回报似乎是合理的)及Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry (野战军) on a course before sending them to face the machine guns.(让员工更健
56、康，这样你就可以让他们更努力地工作，这看起来更像是在训练步兵，然后再让他们面对机枪)可知，划线词所在句意为“这种取舍不应太显眼。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“明显的”。故选D。DThe term modern art sounds like it means art that is popular at the moment, but in fact, modern art is a style that originated over 150 years ago, and includes artists that by now have attained classic status, su

Soon, a movement arose that sought to create an entirely new style of art, and one way of doing so was to look beyon
59、d Western civilization.Henri Matisse showed his friend Picasso a mask he had acquired made by the Dan tribe of the Ivory Coast. The mask awoke Picassos curiosity, leading him to visit the Trocadero Ethnographic Museum in Paris in 1907. The visit was eye-opening for Picasso, who declared that African
60、 masks were what painting was all about. At this time, Picasso had been working on a painting of five naked women in a style that would later come to be known as Cubism. And while three of these ladies show facial features found in ancient Iberian art, a nod to Picassos Spanish heritage, the faces o
61、f the two on the right closely resemble African masks. Created in 1907 after hundreds of sketches and studies, “Les Demoiselles dAvignon” has been considered the first truly 20th century masterpiece, breaking with many previously held notions in art.Inspiration from ancient cultures started one of t

67、ack as the Renaissance, the primary European art movements emphasized conventional representation and adherence (遵循) to classical forms. But that began to change in the late 19th century as artists like Van Gogh and Cezanne expanded the boundaries of painting.可知，早在文艺复兴时期，欧洲的主要艺术运动就强调传统的表现形式和对古典形式的坚持
68、。但在19世纪末，随着梵高和塞尚等艺术家扩大了绘画的范围，这种情况开始发生变化。由此可知，欧洲艺术的风格直到艺术家扩大了绘画的范围才有了变化。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的And while three of these ladies show facial features found in ancient Iberian art, a nod to Picassos Spanish heritage, the faces of the two on the right closely resemble African masks. Created in 1907 afte
69、r hundreds of sketches and studies, “Les Demoiselles dAvignon” has been considered the first truly 20th century masterpiece, breaking with many previously held notions in art.可知，其中三位女士的面部特征是在古代伊比利亚艺术中发现的，这是对毕加索的西班牙遗产的一种致敬，而右边两位女士的面部特征与非洲面具非常相似。亚维农的少女于1907年创作，经过数百幅素描和研究之后，被认为是第一部真正意义上的20世纪杰作，打破了许多之前在
70、艺术领域持有的观念。由此可知，Les Demoiselles dAvignon结合了不同的文化元素。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Questions like this deserve scrutiny (审查), as artists continue to redefine standards. Perhaps not too long from now, the bold innovations (单新) of modern art will be overturned by a new set of pioneers drawing inspiration from
71、 another unlikely source.可知，像这样的问题值得审视，因为艺术家们还在继续重新定义标准。也许用不了多久，现代艺术的大胆创新就会被一群从另一个不太可能的来源汲取灵感的新先锋所颠覆。由此可知，现代艺术家的先锋作用是值得怀疑的。故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段The term modern art sounds like it means art that is popular at the moment, but in fact, modern art is a style that originated over 150 years ago, and incl
72、udes artists that by now have attained classic status, such as Picasso, Matisse, and Gauguin. And whats even more ironic (讽刺的) is that the movement they pioneered, considered revolutionary at the time, was inspired largely by an object of a traditional and ancient design. 可知，“现代艺术”这个词听起来像是指当下流行的艺术，但
73、事实上，现代艺术是一种起源于150多年前的风格，包括现在已经获得经典地位的艺术家，如毕加索、马蒂斯和高更。更讽刺的是，他们开创的运动，在当时被认为是革命性的，很大程度上是受到传统和古老设计的启发。由此可知，这篇文章主要介绍的是“古代艺术如何影响现代艺术。”故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Reading well begins with understanding the words on the page.
