21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home.
- A. offered greater relaxation than the workplace
- B. was an ideal place for stress measurement
- C. generated more stress than the workplace
- D. was an unrealistic place for relaxation
答案：A
答案句：A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work.
参考译文：一项新研究表明，与大多数调查相反，人们实际上在家里比在工作中压力更大。
定位线索：题干“most previous surveys”对应答案句“contrary to most surveys”；文中“contrary to most surveys”暗示先前调查认为家更放松，对应选项A“offered greater relaxation than the workplace”。
解析：题干问“根据第一段，大多数先前调查发现家如何”。答案句明确指出新研究“contrary to most surveys”，即与先前调查相反，新研究发现家更压力大，因此先前调查认为家更放松，对应A。B“理想测量地点”无中生有；C“比工作压力大”是新研究结论，非先前调查；D“不现实的放松地点”与先前调查相反，且原文未提“不现实”。
22. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?
- A. Working mothers.
- B. Childless husbands.
- C. Working fathers.
- D. Childless wives.
答案：B
答案句：“It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.”
参考译文：“是男性，而非女性，报告在家比在工作更快乐。”
定位线索：题干“Damaske”“happiest at home”对应答案句“men, not women, report being happier at home”；文中“men”对应选项B“Childless husbands”（无子女丈夫）。
解析：题干问根据Damaske，谁最可能在家最快乐。答案句明确说“men, not women”在家更快乐，且前文提到“findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents”，即无子女者更明显，因此无子女丈夫最快乐，对应B。A“职业母亲”和D“无子女妻子”是女性，被排除；C“职业父亲”虽为男性，但“more so for nonparents”强调无子女者，故B更准确。
23. The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that.
- A. their home is also a place for kicking back
- B. they are both bread winners and housewives
- C. there is often much housework left behind
- D. it is difficult for them to leave their office
答案：B
答案句：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.
参考译文：对于在外工作的女性，她们常常在追赶家务任务。随着角色的模糊，以及家庭阵线在为职业女性做出调整方面远远落后于工作场所，女性在家压力更大就不足为奇了。
定位线索：题干“blurring of working women’s roles”对应答案句“blurring of roles”；文中“working outside the home”和“household tasks”对应选项B“both bread winners and housewives”（既是养家者又是家庭主妇）。
解析：题干问“职业女性角色模糊”指什么。答案句说明职业女性在外工作同时还要做家务，即双重角色，对应B。A“家也是放松场所”与原文“playing catch-up-with-household tasks”矛盾；C“很多家务留下”是结果而非角色模糊本身；D“难以离开办公室”偷换概念，原文指在家还要做家务，非办公室。
24. The word “moola” (Line 4, Para. 4) most probably means.
- A. skills
- B. energy
- C. earnings
- D. nutrition
答案：C
答案句：The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.
参考译文：这种交易非常纯粹：员工投入数小时的体力或脑力劳动，员工获得维持生命的金钱。
定位线索：题干“moola”对应答案句“draws out life-sustaining moola”；文中“puts in labor”与“draws out”对比，且“life-sustaining”暗示金钱，对应选项C“earnings”（收入）。
解析：题干问“moola”含义。答案句描述员工付出劳动后“draws out life-sustaining moola”，即获得维持生活的报酬，结合“labor”与“income”的对应，moola指金钱收入，对应C。A“技能”、B“能量”、D“营养”均不符合“labor”交换的语境。
25. The home front differs from the workplace in that.
- A. family labor is often adequately rewarded
- B. home is hardly a cozier working environment
- C. household tasks are generally more motivating
- D. division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut
答案：D
答案句：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.
参考译文：然而，在家庭阵线，人们没有这样的清晰度。很少有家庭的家务分工如此精确而有条理地安排。
定位线索：题干“home front differs from workplace”对应答案句“On the home front, however, people have no such clarity”；文中“no such clarity”和“Rare is the household...division of labor”对应选项D“division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut”（家庭分工很少明确）。
解析：题干问家庭阵线与工作场所的不同。答案句指出家庭缺乏清晰度，分工很少明确，对应D。A“家庭劳动常被充分回报”与原文“inadequate rewards”矛盾；B“家不是更舒适环境”无中生有；C“家务更有激励性”与原文“co-workers are much harder to motivate”相反。
