海大源分享2015年海南MBA/MPA/MTA考试英语阅读真题及答案解析

Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

　　Part A

　　Directions：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)

　　Text1

　　A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people’s control. Which is it at 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 Damaske In fact women 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 the findings hold true for both those with children and without but more so for non parents. 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。

　　21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home___________

　　[A]was an un realistic place for relaxation

　　[B]generated more stress than the workplace

　　[C]was an ideal plac efor stress measurement

　　[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace

　　22.According to Damaske，who are likely to be the happiest at home?

　　[A]Working mothers

　　[B]Childless husbands

　　[C] Childless wives

　　[D]Working fathers

　　23 The blurring of working womens roles refers to the fact that___________

　　[A]they are both breadwinners 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

　　24.The word “moola”(Line4，Para 4)most probably means___________

　　[A]energy

　　[B]skills

　　[C]earnings

　　[D]nutrition

　　25.The home front differs from the workplace in that_____________

　　[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment

　　[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut

　　[C]household tasks are generally more motivating

　　[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded

　　答案：

　　Text 1

　　21 答案D offered greater relaxation than the workplace

　　解析：细节题。精读题干，划出关键词 Paragraph 1，previous surveys，home。根据题干回到原文精确定位到第1句。首句提出“最新研究表明，与大部分研究相反，人们在家比在公司的压力更大”。说明之前的研究与新研究不同，题干问previous surveys，因此之前的研究是公司比家里的压力大。

　　22 答案B childless husbands

　　解析：细节题。精读题干，划出关键词大写人物D，问家里谁最幸福。根据题干回文定位到第二段后半部分“It is men…report being happier”，因此男性更幸福。接下来，“but more so for nonparents”。因此答案为没有孩子的丈夫。

　　23 答案A they are both bread winners and housewives

　　解析：细节题。题干提出“the blurring of working women’s roles”，根据题干定位到第三段后半部分“the blurring of roles”，指代前面两句话“For women who stay home……..And for women who work outside the home”。根据原文定位句信息，得出女性既要忙工作又要忙家务。

　　24.答案 C earnings 这是一道词义句意题，定位在第四段第二句，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.在工作中，人们清楚地知道他们该做什么，工作，赚钱，为了得到收入完成他们必须要做的工作。这与划线单词相对应，employee draws out life-sustaining moola 和draw an income相对应，所以moola是earnings同义。

25.答案 B division of labor at home is seldom-clear-cut 这是一道因果细节题，答案定位在第五段首句，On the home front, however, people have no such clarity.然而，对于家庭，人们并不是很清楚。no such clarity与seldom-clear-cut 相对应。
