Question

10．When you catch a cold，should you still go into work or have a rest at home？Sometimes this decision can actually get quite stressful．On the one hand，going into work is the conscientious （尽责的） thing to do．On the other hand，going into work could make you ill for longer．You probably won't be able to concentrate and do your work well and you might make other people ill．So to help you decide，let's take a look at some of the factors．
First of all，before you go into work，ask yourself whether you are actually going to be productive．Do you have pressing work that really can't wait？Is your job so easy that you can relax while working？If going into work might make you worse，perhaps you had better have one day off and then work probably later．
Secondly，ask yourself whether you are contagious （患传染病的） and your suffering is caused by a virus．Viruses are highly contagious and can spread through the air．If you cough close to someone，you can very easily give him or her a cold．As a result，you'll end up infecting your colleagues，thus dramatically damaging the productivity of the whole workforce．
Another reason to take time off work is that it's important for your health．Even if you can work in your current condition，that doesn't necessarily mean that you should，as paying no attention to your symptoms could lead to you getting worse and catching other illnesses．Your immune system is weakened when you are ill，so if you travel on the bus with other possibly sick people，you can end up getting other serious infections．Worse still，if a viral infection makes it to your brain，it can result in serious brain damage．So listen to your body and take its warnings seriously!
Though it's better to take time off work in the vast majority of situations，you're most likely not to do it．Why？Because there is an important meeting tomorrow，or you're trying to impress the new boss，or you have a huge to-do list．In short，you're probably always feeling as though you have a huge mountain of work to do．However，in fact it was probably this pressure that caused you to get ill in the first place．So think it over：Can you really not take a single day off work for the sake of your health？If not，then there's probably something very wrong with your work-life balance．

Answer 1

分析 短文主要讲了当你得病时，要不要去工作的事情，作者建议从四个方面考虑：工作是否有成效？病毒是否有传染性？对身体健康有益吗？能不能请到一天的病假？

解答 71．employee/worker，根据文章句子On the one hand，going into work is the conscientious （尽责的） thing to do可知"当你生病时去工作证明你是负责任的员工"，因此此空答案可以为employee/worker．     
72．longer，根据句子On the other hand，going into work could make you ill for longer 可知"带病工作的另一个方面是让你的病拖延得更久"，故答案为longer．         
73．productive，根据第一点First of all，before you go into work，ask yourself whether you are actually going to be productive可知应考虑的是"你是否是富有成效的"，故答案为形容词productive．      
74．linked/related，根据第二点应考虑的因素Secondly，ask yourself whether you are contagious （患传染病的） and your suffering is caused by a virus是"看看你得的病是不是由病毒引起的"也就是和病毒相关的，因此使用动词短语be linked/related to"与…相关"．         
75．Ignoring，根据文章句子as paying no attention to your symptoms could lead to you getting worse and catching other illnesses 可知"忽视你的症状会导致你情况恶化"，因此使用动名词短语ignoring your present symptoms 充当主语．       
76．weakened/weak，根据句子Your immune system is weakened when you are ill，so if you travel on the bus with other possibly sick people，you can end up getting other serious infections 可知"当你生病时，免疫系统会变弱，因此容易感染其他的病毒"，故使用形容词weakened/weak修饰immune system．      
77．damage，根据句子Worse still，if a viral infection makes it to your brain，it can result in serious brain damage 可知"更糟糕的是会损害大脑"，故答案为damage．           
78．unable，根据句子Can you really not take a single day off work for the sake of your health？可知是"为了健康就不能请假一天吗？"，这是同义句的转换，因此使用be unable to do"不能够做某事"．       
79．reasons，根据句子Because there is an important meeting tomorrow，or you're trying to impress the new boss，or you have a huge to-do list．In short，you're probably always feeling as though you have a huge mountain of work to do 可知"当你生病时，还有很多理由让你坚持去上班"，因此使用名词的复数形式reasons．      
80．loss，根据句子then there's probably something very wrong with your work-life balance．可知"如果工作和生活失衡的话，就会生病"．

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．
