Question

【题目】根据短文内容, 从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分)

Some jobs require employees to work night shifts. Working the night shifts often means better money, but that also comes negative side effects.

The human body is naturally inclined（倾向于）to work during the day and sleep at night. 【1】 Your body will be able to fully adjust to this new style of rest and work. However, according to the National Sleep Foundation, constant exhaustion（疲倦） may be part of the lifestyle of working the night shift.

In addition to exhaustion from working the night shift, sleep disturbances can occur, even when your body has the opportunity to get some shut-eye during the day. 【2】 Instead of getting a full eight hours of sleep, which is what most people need, it’s typical for night shift workers to only take a long nap after their shift.

Working night shifts can also cause social and relational problems. Because many social events happen during the evening, people who work the shift miss out on important relationship-building opportunities. 【3】 When husbands or wives rarely see one another or rarely go to bed together, this will affect their communication and their marriage life.

【4】 Exhaustion, sleep problems, personal and relational issues and other health issues, over time, can lead to depression if not taken care of properly.

【5】 According to the National Sleep Foundation, you can avoid these problems by working with others during your shifts, taking naps during your shifts and setting up a support group with other employees to discuss the problems you’re facing.

A. Working night shifts can help us a lot.

B. So working the night shift will take an adjustment.

C. Doctor and nurses often work night shifts to care for their patients.

D. In the long run, this can be harmful to relationships, especially marriage.

E. What’s worse, depression is likely to occur with all of these factors.

F. Of course, you can do something to reduce the side effects of working night shifts.

G. Many people have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep during daytime hours.

【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类的文章。文章主要介绍了上夜班的负面影响。

【1】上一句提到：人们天生倾向于在白天工作，晚上睡觉。下一句提到：你的身体能够完全适应这种新的工作和休息方式。该空承上启下，B选项切题：所以上夜班需要适应。

【2】上一句提到：上夜班除了使人感到很疲惫之外，还可能会使人产生睡眠障碍（即使你白天有机会休息）。承接上文，G选项切题：很多人很难在白天入睡。

【3】下一句提到：如果妻子和丈夫很少见面，这会影响他们之间的交流和婚姻生活。故可知D选项切题：从长远来看，上夜班会影响人际关系，尤其是婚姻关系。

【4】由该段内容可知，疲惫，睡眠问题等因素，如果处理不恰当的话，都会导致情绪低落。故E选项适合做该段标题。

【5】该段主要介绍了避免上夜班产生的种种问题的一些方法。故F选项适合做该段标题。

【名师点评】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。在本文中，第1小题中的“adjust/adjustment”，第2小题前的“during the day”，第3小题中的“relationship，husbands or wives”，第4小题中的“depression”均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。
