【本题分数】：

2.0分

【答案解析】

[解析]本题考查考生对文章大意的把握。

根据最后一段的总结句“However，theconnectionbetweentimeandproductivity（生产率）isnotalwayspositive.”可得出应选A项。

B项说大多数人工作更长的时间就能完成更多的工作，这与文章主旨恰恰相反。

C项说大多数美国人的工作时间甚至会超过80小时，这在文中没有明确提及。

D项认为人们工作时间更长能赚更多钱，而文中也没有这个意思，从文中只能看出有人认为工作时间越长，就越能完成更多的工作或得到更好的晋升。

第2题

Bwhenpeoplespenttimedoingunnecessaryworkintheiroffice

Cifpeopleneededvacationafterworkinghardforacertainperiodoftime

DwhetherAmericanswerereallyworkingharderthantheyhaddonebefore

D

[解析]本题考查考生对文章细节的理解。

从第一段中的“ItseemsthatAmericansareworkinghardertodaythaneverbefore.Orarethey?

Amanagementconsultant,BillMeyer,decidedtofindout.”可看出应该选D项。

其他三项都不符合题意。

第3题

WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE?

AThemoretimeapersonspendsatwork,themoreheorsheaccomplishes.

BEmployersdonotjudgetheiremployees’jobperformanceaccordingtotheamountofworkingtime.

CSomepeopleworkmorethan40hoursaweekinthehopeofgettingpromotion.

DAllemployeesarewillingtospendextratimeatwork.

C

由第二段的“Althoughmanyworkingpeoplecandotheirjobeffectivelyduringaregular40-hourworkweek,theyfeeltheyhavetospendmoretimeonthejobafternormalworkinghourssothatthepeoplewhocanpromotethemseethem.”可知C项是正确的。

A项说一个人工作的时间越长就能取得更大的成就。

虽然第二段开头提到这一说法，但从第四段“However，theconnectionbetweentimeandproductivity（生产率）isnotalwayspositive.”可以得出文章的主旨，即工作时间和工作效率并不总是成正比的，因此A项不正确。

B项说雇主并不根据工作时间长短来评价雇员，但由第二段的“Whenemployersevaluateemployees,theyoftenconsidertheamountoftimeonthejobinadditiontojobperformance.”可知雇主衡量雇员工作除了工作表现还看工作时间，故B项是错误的。

另根据第四段的“Someemployeesarenotwillingtospendsomuchextra,unproductivetimeattheoffice.”可知D项也是错误的。
