Question

【题目】According to a study conducted in 2010, about 39 % companies had blocked employee access to Facebook. They think some employees spend their entire day sitting glued to Facebook, updating and commenting, which has a negative effect on their work. 【1】 Some reasons are listed why employees should be allowed access to Facebook.

【2】 Employees may be working hard to find a particular solution, but cannot come up with anything. Browsing through Facebook can help them gel inspired to find solutions in a different way and be successful at it.

Blocking access to Facebook means that the employer doesn’t trust the employees. People are dissatisfied with the company if they’re not allowed access to Facebook. 【3】 Therefore, allowing access to Facebook means that the employees are given a certain amount of freedom.

Today many companies have pages on Facebook which they use for spreading news and something about products. If Facebook pages arc blocked in an office, how will employees like or share something from the company page? Employees can also interact with each other through Facebook. It creates a sense of bonding and they get along well with each other. 【4】 Many talented professionals don’t like to join places where Facebook is blocked, and thus companies may lose talented employees.

As far as I’m concerned, whether an organization should ban Facebook depends largely on factors like its culture, type of work, Internet policy, business goals, etc. As far as the employees are concerned, most of them will be in support of allowing access to Facebook. 【5】.

【解析】 本文为议论文。主要论述了公司不让员工上脸书，会让员工不满意，从而没有积极性，因为脸书可以让员工与他人分享交流，保持联系，让员工之间有凝聚力，也可激发他们工作的积极性。因此允许员工上脸书有好处的。

【1】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第一段论述了有一些公司禁止员工上脸书。他们认这对工作有负面影响。本题后一句“some reasons are listed why employees should be allowed access to Facebook.”列出一些原因为什么应该让员工上脸书。此句与上文意思相反。分析选项可知，选项A中的However，表示前后意思相反。而A项（然而，他们的禁令并未被广泛接受）符合本题，故选A项。

【2】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。分析本段可知，主要论述了员工一直努力解决问题，但苦于找不到解决问题的方案。休息一下，在休息时上脸书网也许有助激发灵感，以不同的方式解决问题并取得成功。由此可判断上脸书休息一下是有好处的，有必要的。分析选项可知G项（他们认为工作几小时后休息是必要的）与本段内容一致。故选G项。

【3】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本题的上文说，阻止人们上脸书意味着老板不信任员工，员工们会对公司不满。题后的内容“允许上脸书意味着让员工有一定的自由”。由此可知，要让他们有积极性，必须让他们满意，即让员工上脸书。由此可知，选项F（为了保持人们的积极性，他们必须满意）符合题意，故选F项。

【4】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本题的上文可知，许多公司在脸谱网上都有自己的网页，员工可以通过脸谱网互相交流分享，有凝聚力，员工相处好。分析选项可知，D项（通过保持联系有助于改善他们之间的关系）与本题意义相一致，故选D项。

【5】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文可知，作者认为是否允许上脸书要视情况而言。就员工而言，大多数支持允许上脸书。由此可得出：公司也应该考虑员工的利益。分析选项可知，选项 E（ 因此，公司应该考虑到员工的利益）符合本段的内容。

该题型对学生的考察能力总体把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系，握微观信息间关联性。即空格前后句间关系。 这种题一般可从以下方面来考虑：

（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。

（2）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第4 小题。根据上文的内容可知，通过脸谱网互相交流分享，有凝聚力，员工相处好。根据本题的上文可知，许多公司在脸谱网上都有自己的网页，员工可以通过脸谱网互相交流分享，创造了一种凝聚力。这与选项D项（通过保持联系有助于改善他们之间的关系）意义相一致，从而找到正确答案。

（3 解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词，连词等。如表示转折关系的but，though, however 等。如第1小题，通过上下文的比较，可知前后意思相反。选项A中however表示前后的转折。由此得出正确的答案。
