根据上下文可知,上文人们的所作所为以及下文with the zoo environment, they take it for granted that animals are there for people, ignoring the fact that animals and humans are both equal existents in the nature.动物为人而存在这种理所当然的想法,忽略了人类和动物在自然界是平等存在的想法,都证明了一些人正在不尊重动物。故选F。
IV Summary Writing
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words, Use your own words as far as possible.
Peter woke up one morning with all the usual signs of a nasty cold: severe headache and blocked nose. Then he did what almost everyone does on a day like this. He got up and went to work. Such is the state of what the human resources industry has come to call presenteeism.
Many experts claim that presenteeism is now a bigger problem in the UK than absenteeism and could even help explain the country’s weak productivity growth. A growing number of companies are realizing presenteeism and doing something about it. This generally takes the form of programmes full of once unimaginable sweets: cheap gym membership, veggie salads in the canteen, stand-up desks and the odd massage. of course, there’s nothing against lunchtime dentistry or free workout. They do more good than harm. But such welfares alone won't do much to stop people from presenteeism.
The chief reasons why people soldier on have nothing to do with how fit they are. They work for leaner, more stressed companies where dismissals are common. This makes some people worried that they will be targeted in the next round of job cut if they have taken a lot of time off. Others worry about troubling stretched colleagues with more work in their absence. How annoying it is to be faced with cold faces when you return to office after two days' rest at home.
There is not much to be said for \bean bags. The key to dealing with presenteeism lies in training managers to be better at spotting swifly when employees are under too much stress or ill, and dealing with the situation sensibly---putting the sick employee to sick leave although he is reluctant. Of course, work has to be done to eliminate employee's concern about his

job prospect thereof.

【答案】Presenteeism, going to work when ill, though common in the UK, harms productivity. The responsive staff benefits companies offer are of no avail to solve the problem. The real reasons lie in sick employees’ fear of potential layoff and concern about additional workload on colleagues.
The solution depends on management’s timely detection of presenteeism and strategic compulsory leave mechanism. 【解析】 【分析】
本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。文章主要介绍了出勤主义的危害、原因及解决办法。 【详解】第一段讲“出勤主义(presenteeism)”是一种什么情况即人们在生病的情况下还要上班的情况;第二段讲出勤主义的危害,以及公司提供的福利对解决出勤主义的问题并没有什么帮助;第三段讲存在出勤主义主要原因,第四段讲了根本性解决问题的办法。总结需要围绕这四方面展开,抓住要点,缺一不可。故答案为Presenteeism, going to work when ill, though common in the UK, harms productivity. The responsive staff benefits companies offer are of no avail to solve the problem. The real reasons lie in sick employees’ fear of potential layoff and concern about additional workload on colleagues. The solution depends on management’s timely detection of presenteeism and strategic compulsory leave mechanism.

考查翻译。要求考生根据中文含义及括号中所给的词将中文翻译成英文。 【72题详解】
考查短语。regard…as…认为……是……。“暴饮暴食”的表达为“overeating”,“缓解工作压力的手段”可以翻译为“a way to relieve work pressure.”。故填Overeating is regarded by some as a way to relieve work pressure. 【73题详解】
考查名词性从句、现在完成时和impress sb 令某人印象深刻。这句话首先要选一个主语从句作为句子的结构,其次不可忽略“印象最深”的“最”,必须把most翻译出来。此外,“购房新军”的表达也是一个注意事项,这个时候需要意译。故填What impresses me most is that single women have emerged as new buyers for house property. 【74题详解】
考查insist的用法。“insist on doing sth”和turn a deaf ear to “充耳不闻”的翻译。在翻译的时候可以用“he”做主语,然后并列两个动词。注意驾车上山的表达为drive up the hill. 故填He turned a deaf ear to people’s warnings and insisted on driving up the hill in such bad weather.

【75题详解】
考查face的用法和非限制性定语从句。这句话中后半部分大大阻碍了行业的发展的主语时前半部分所叙述的情况,所以需要用非限制性定语从句“which”来引导,指代主句的全部内容。此外,注意“用工荒”的表达以及逐项对照翻译,确保没有漏译的情况。故填During the spring festival, many enterprises in service industry are facing the problem of labour shortage, which greatly blocks the development of the industry.
