a report issued by a conference held in tokyo concluded: “job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” the report observed that “several countries in east asia, including china and korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. these countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers health.” 1. the author quoted “americas no.1 health problem.” (para. 1) in order to _. a. talk about health problems in america b. introduce the topic of stress c. emphasize the stress in america d. tell readers something about american institute of stress 答案解析：答案为b。本题为推理题。本文的内容是为了揭示世界上人们的工作压力非常大，对健康造成了威胁，因此作者在开头使用“americas no.1 health problem”是为了引入压力的话题，故答案为b。2. from the passage we can learn that . a. both cancer and aids are not as serious as the threat of stress to healthb. stress is mainly from working and living pressurec. americans never care about international conflict and terrorismd. people in mainland europe are more optimistic than english people答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).” 可知，工作和家庭生活中的压力比重最大，故b选项正确，c选项错误。由第一段 “americas no.1 health problem.” so reads the headline of an article published by the american institute of stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor aids.”可知，癌症和艾滋病没有压力带给健康的威胁那么严重的情况是在美国，不具有普遍性，故a选项错误。第三段揭示了英国人的工作压力非常大，第四段的首句理解是关键 “the picture is no less bleak in mainland europe.” 意为“欧洲大陆的情况依旧不容乐观”，故d选项错误。3. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. a. asian people are more willing to develop their countriesb. the rapid economic development is the main reason for stress c. some people in asian countries have health problems from employment stress d. asian countries have a better situation of stress than europe 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。最后一段揭示了亚洲的压力情况，由该段的最后一句话 “these countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers health.” 可知，一些亚洲国家的工作压力也影响了人们的健康，故c选项正确，b选项错误，经济发展不是压力的主要原因，压力来自工作。a、d选项未提，均不选。4. whats the main subject of the passage? a. stress attacking health.b. how to deal with stress.c. a survey on working stress.d. health problems around the world.答案解析：答案为a。本题考查文章的主题。全文揭示了在美国，欧洲，亚洲人们的工作压力对健康造成了威胁，故答案为a。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。attention tim hortonsstainless steel travel mug ownerslid recall-15 oz stainless steel travel muga fault at the cup has been recognizedthe fault may result in some lids lifting slightly from the body of the mug，and could probably cause injury from hot liquid leakingtherefore，we have given an immediate lid recall noticethis recall notice is related only to tim hortons15 oz stainless steel travel mugs sold between october 2010 and january 2011the bottom of the mug is stamped with distributors（经销商）name，thermo servthere is no printing on the handle of the mug at tim hortons，we value out customers safety above anything elseso, whether your lid is leaking or not，in the interest of your safety, we are requesting that you bring your mug to your nearest tim hortons（excluding esso tim hortons）,where they will exchange the lid for a new lid that fits safelythe new lids will be available february l，2011. please do not use your mug until you exchange the lidheres what you do： please do not use your mug until you have exchanged the lid for a new one new lids will be available february 2,2011 return your travel mug to a tim hortons store your lid will be exchanged for a new lidif you prefer to return the entire mug，bring it back at any time for a full repaymentif you have any questions regarding his recall，please contact us at：toll free number：l888508一77l7 8：30 am5：00 pmeastern standard time1this advertisement is trying to aintroduce a new type of mugsbpersuade people to buy a new steel mug lidcinform people of exchanging a liddwarn against the danger of using the faulty mug2the advertisement is mainly aimed at those who aoften travel aroundbhave 15 oz stainless mugs cwant to buy 1 5 oz stainless mugsdare selling the tim hortons mugs3according to the advertisement, which of the following statements is not true?
