The time you spend at the office may be the most stressful(紧张的) part of your day, but it doesn’t have to be. You have a greater ability to shape your office environment than you may realize.
Take breaks throughout the day. It will help clear your mind and relieve pressure. Something as simple as going to the water cooler for a drink may do the trick.
Take part in a noontime or an after-work exercise class. This will give you a chance to relax and a way to relieve stress.
To help your workday go smoothly, try arranging your activities: Do more demanding work in the morning, when your energy level is higher, and easier work later in the day, when you may be tired.
Try listening to music recordings, such as a pounding surf or songbirds, to help you relax. Such tapes are sold in many shops. Use headphones if you are listening to them in the middle of the workday.
Get to work early or stay late once a week. You may be able to complete more when you change your daily work.
If your stress comes from job insecurity, take stock of yourself. Renew your knowledge, and remind yourself of your skills and strengths. Also, make sure you keep up with new developments in your fields. This will make you valuable to employers.
Don’t let rumors(谣言) at work, which are usually false, cause you worry. A co-worker may just be thinking out loud about worst-case imagined events.

The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, “That’s fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lively, wonderful.” Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were “excellent” and “just right”, and I began to consider a job in radio.
To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say, Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I’ m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test ?” I did, and they said, “Perfect, lovely, wonderful, …” Would I come round?
It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel (元音) pronunciations were not altogether King’s English, or even Prince Philip’s, there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said: “Fine, lovely…, but you said the word ‘castle’ with a short ‘a’. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say ‘castle’.”
This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.
“It’s my northern English accent,” I said, angry, because I had to apologize for it.
“Oh, I see…but Mike, we’ll have to get it right, I’m afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools.”
I read the passage again…and again…and again. But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel angry, so that I’d remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate (集中) on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable (easily made angry), so we all went out for a beer.
68.Broadcasting did not make Mike nervous _______________.
A.although he had never done any before B.because he worked in a news agency
C.because he was used to talking on the phone D.although the passages were long
69.What happened after Mike had read the third passage?
A.They made him repeat it. B.They said nothing.
C.They began to discuss the King’s English. D.They could not understand one of the words.
70.They wanted Mike to change his pronunciation because .
A.German schoolchildren did not like a northern accent
B.it was different from the English taught in German schools
C.it was different from the English spoken in Germany
D.German schoolchildren were taught through recordings
71.Why did Mike’s reading of the passage get worse?
A.He needed a drink to clear his throat. B.He was trying to do the recording in an hour.
C.He was trying hard to get certain sounds right. D.He could not learn so many new sounds.
(E)
In only two decades Asian-American have become the fastest-growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. (This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.) They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian-Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
72.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .
A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English.
B.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C.still worry about unfair treatment in society
D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
73.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans?
A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B.Hard work and intelligence.
C.Hard help and a limited knowledge of English.
D.Asian culture and the American educational system.
74.Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because .
A.their English is not good enough.
B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D.they know little about American culture and society
75.The author's tone in this passage is____________ .
A.sympathetic B.doubtful C.critical D.objective
【答案解析】
21.A。句意是:我们对自己的皮肤直到烧伤无法治愈之时才知道去珍惜。根据题意,应用介词beyond表示超出……。
22.C。句意是:从这个角度来看,形势似乎不那么令人失望。这是分词短语做状语,分词的逻辑主语应与主句的主语保持一致,所以用过去分词。
23.D。该句有“命令”语气；is to do 可表示“命令”。再如：You are to come before 2 p.m.你一定要下午两点以前来。
24.D。根据“I'm not sure”可知，说话者的语气没有把握，所以要用might表示“或许”。
25.A 。句意是:多数人相信现在女性的作用已经影响了美国社会。最重要的是,它影响了男性的传统角色。 本题考察考生对于词组的掌握。In all表示“总计; 总的说来”;At most的意思是“至多”;At last 表示“最后”;而只有Above all“首先,最重要的是”符合题义。
26.A。句意: 一天我在报纸上偶然发现一篇关于某州大学的一位英语教授的学术报告。come across(sb./sth.),意为“偶然发现/遇见某人”;come about 意为“发生”;come after 意为“跟随”;come at 意为“达到、得到”。
27.B。句意:在我刚返回家去换衣报时,我就听见了说话声。语法测试题。本题测试状语从句。当when引导时间状语从句时,其往往表示两个动作有明显的先后顺序,故当表示另一个动作先于when引导的时间状语从句的动作时,主句中的谓语动词可用完成时,而从句中的谓语动词可用一般过去时。while和as引导从句往往表示主句和从句的动作几乎不分先后,after引导从句表示“在……之后”。根据题意,我们选B项。
28.A。句意是:对比可以使某些事物显得比单独看时更加漂亮。在when,unless, although,if,while, as, until,等连词后可省略相同的主语与be。
29.A。句意是:许多病人坚持入院观察,尽管没有预约。even though 相当于even if 表示“即使”的意思。
30.D。句意是:有些植物喜爱阴凉,对光敏感。sensible 意为“可感知的,有感觉的”;sensitive意为“敏感的”;available 可用的，可以得到的；adjustable 可调节的。
31.C。come down 流传下来；come up出现；come out 出来；come about 发生。
32.C。句意是:科技在很多重要方面帮助提高了农业生产。 本题考察固定词组的用法。通常用于 “be attached to”中,表示“附属于”;Assist表示“帮助……,对……有作用”,但不和to sth.搭配。witness表示“目击,目睹”,注意在考试中容易出现它的一种较特殊用法,即用时间作主语,如The year 1949 witnessed the founding of the People’s Republic of China,直译为“1949年目睹了中华人民共和国的成立”,实际上意思很简单,就是“中华人民共和国成立于1949年”。contribute to的意思是“对……有作用,有贡献”,意思和用法都正确。
33.C。句意是:我宁愿自己住一间无论多小的房子,也不愿与他人合住。rather do sth.than do sth.是固定用法。
34.D。句意是：如果自来水像人们所认为的那样有危险，我们会有更多的人得病。more表示“另外”，常常放在表示数量的词后面，此处应放在a lot 后面。
35.D。句意是:这种药到处都有卖的,你在任何药店都可以买到。本题测试不定代词的用法。each , some , certain, and any 都可用作名词的定语,但各自的含义不同,使用的场合也不同。
36.B。从四个选项判断，这里用be supposed to表示“被期待，应该”，表示作者猜测他到这里来的目的。
37.A。但是他这时开始怀疑到这里来是否有助于他治病。
38.D。用when/as引导时间状语从句，当她觉得……时。
39.B。从四个选项判断用in silence。这个年轻人沉默寡语，
40.A。从上下文判断，既然谁也不认识，那么当然就对这个家庭的主人一无所知了。
41.A。
42.B。上下文说出去打猎，穿过一片沼泽地带，那么这里应该用cross表示“穿越”。
43.C。这里这个小孩在编故事吓唬来访之客，三年前他们在穿越沼泽地带时被沼泽地吞噬了。
44.D。既然是撒谎，有时候会有破绽。讲到这里她的声音有点不自然了。
45.C。阿姨始终认为他们会回来的。
46.C。在安静的时候，我就开始想入非非，以为他们会奇迹般的回来。
47.C。我有这种感觉。
48.D。女主人这时登场了，面对客人当然不会是生气、忧虑，而是风风火火地进来招呼客人，同时还等着丈夫回来。
49.B。Bera在阿姨忙碌时帮助招呼客人，因此其他项不对，用B表示“逗乐，逗……笑”，这表明小女孩刚才说的都是假话，她是不是又在拿你开心？
50.C。谈到丈夫的打猎，女主人当然就是兴致勃勃了，而且讲个不停。
51.B。从上下文看，女主人把窗户打开等丈夫，现在天快黑了，这时他联想到小女孩的故事，心里觉得害怕，觉得这里阴森森的。显然他把小女孩的谎话信以为真了。
52.A。本题用make an effort to do sth，表示他现在想转移话题。
53.C。但是女主人没有完全关注他的信息，用attention表示“注意力”。
54.D。还是一边说话一边看窗外。这里说她的目光飘过他看窗外。
55.D。看来他的到来是不受欢迎的，真不该来。
56.D。文体判断题。.

64.D。天气预报图表中只有成都是“drizzle(小雨)”。
65.A。根据文章第一句可知答案是A。
66.D。细节理解题。根据“while northerly winds of force 5-7 will sweep across the Bohai Sea, the northern parts of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea,…”可知。
67.A。哈尔滨最低温度是-8;广州最低温度是15度。
68.A。细节题。从第一段以及第二段的“To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience”我们可以得此答案。
69.A。细节理解题。在测试中“我”先读了一段测试题。然后“I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London”，因此这次录音是第三个文章。
70.B。细节题。从 “The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools”得此答案。
71.C。细节题。从文中我们可以看出他所读的个别元音老是达不到别人的要求。

74.B。第一段最后一句说亚裔认为在数学,科学领域得到更公正的对待,也就是说他们担心在人文领域会受到不公正的对待。
