20.I used to work in an office,which had a Locust tree growing outside the window.It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time.(36)F Unfortunately,this happened to be the room assigned to me,and I was depressed by it for quite some time.When the first spring came,everything was green except the locust tree.(37)E One morning,when I opened the window for some fresh air,I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name.(38)BThe tree that I thought dead was in full bloom!
From then on,I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms,and was eager to see spring again every year.
During summer,the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight,but allowed enough light in to make it pleasant.(39)D Its beauty touched my soul.Many times,I wanted to take photos but never did.Then,I had to leave in a hurry.Later in life,it became a great regret that I had not done so.

A.Do value what you own!
B.Suddenly,I realized it was the locust tree!
C.We don't feel regretful until we lose it one day!

解答 36-40 FEBDC
36.F 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文Unfortunately,this happened to be the room assigned to me,and I was depressed by it for quite some time可知,不幸的是,它在我的办公室窗外,我被压抑了很久.那前文就是不好的事情,即:槐树阻挡了我的视野,使办公室昏暗.故选F.
37.E 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文One morning,when I opened the window for some fresh air,I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name可知,一天早上,我开窗闻到了一种熟悉的叫不出名的甜香味,这是对前文迷惑的解释.前文应是:我感到高兴,我以为它死了.故选E.
38.B 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文The tree that I thought dead was in full bloom可知,我以为死了的树全开花了.前文应是突然之事.即:突然,我意识到正是槐树.故选B.
39.D 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据前文During summer,the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight,but allowed enough light in to make it pleasant可知,夏天的绿叶提供树荫,接下来应是秋天槐树的情况.即:在秋天,树叶变成不同的颜色.故选D.
40.C 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据前文Actually,many times in our lives we think we own something and thus do not value it可知,拥有的东西不值得珍惜,那下文应谈到,失去了才觉得珍贵.故选C.

According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,it seems so.In a review of 10previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000people,(52)D from the U.K.'s Durham University and University of Newcastle,as well as the University of Montreal,found that flexible work schedules-when employees can (53)C their starting times,for example-were associated with improvements in a person's overall health.And,perhaps unsurprisingly,in all of the studies included in the review,researchers found no evidence for (54)D effects of more flexible work schedules.
This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options,which are increasingly (55)A throughout Scandinavia,and have recently gained some ground in the U.K.(56)C,last April,the British government (57)A a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger.In the U.S.,the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on.Yet,the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to(58)B in workplace flexibility-as companies (59)D to reward employees with bonuses(奖金) or raises may (60)A other forms of compensation(补偿),Reuters reported early last year.
Previous research too,of course,has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes.And while these latest findings are promising,the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed(61)B between flexible work and improved health outcomes.To truly (62)A the benefits of flexible working conditions,the researchers say,additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide (63)C of workers-from high-ranking executives to hourly employees-is(64)A,which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue,and to shape future workplace policy.
