排序题:要求考生将一组段落排序，使其意思通顺。这就要求考生在阅读各个段落时要把握它们的中心大意，并且将各段的段落大意整合，理清它们之间的逻辑顺序。

段落排序题的测试要点是：理解文章结构，主要考查考生把握篇章结构的能力，要求考生在阅读各个段落时要把握它们的中心大意，并且将各段的段落大意整合，理清它们之间的逻辑顺序，然后按照文章的内容和结构进行排序。此题型的解题思路为：

　　1．首先读文章中指定的首尾段，了解文章的主要内容,并以此为基础判断文章基本的逻辑关系。注意首段的最后几句可能给出的线索。

　　2．通读其余五段，留意各段中富有暗示性的词语或句子。尤其不要忽视在各段中出现频率比较高的词汇，它们经常是解题的关键所在。

　　3．初步排列五个段落，结合各段所给的暗示以及上下文的逻辑关系进一步调整各段顺序。给在各段的关键词或重复出现的词标注下来，尤其注意可能出现相同词语或有明显逻辑词语相连接的上下两段话。

　　4．把排列好顺序的文章通读一遍，从整体上对段落的顺序进行最后的确认。注意检查段与段之间的内容与结构是否符合逻辑的发展

上一期,大概看了看大家的答案,绝大多数的同学都作对了,看来大家对新题型已经有了一定的理解,继续训练,希望我们可以有更大的进步,加油

嘿嘿,不多说了,开始新一期咯.

［A］ These studies focused on working hours but not on working conditions. Are such qualitative factors also important? A 1996 study explored the possibility. Researchers observed over 12,500 men for a 14year period. The scientists evaluated the psychological and physical demands of each man’s job; they also collected information about the age, smoking history, exercise habits, educational level and social class of each individual. When the results were analyzed, two occupational factors emerged as risk factors for death from cardiovascular disease. Men who had low control over the demands of their jobs were 1.8 times more likely to die from heart disease than men with more control; men who experienced a low level of social support from coworkers were 2.6 times more vulnerable to cardiovascular death.

［B］ What accounts for the increased risk of heart attack among Japanese men who work very long hours? Mental stress is a logical explanation, but psychological factors, as measured by the “burnout index,” did not completely account for the trend. Nor did established risk factors. High blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes and obesity were linked to heart attack, but even after taking these variables into account, workinghour itself was still closely related to heart attack.

［C］ The Japanese think so; in fact, “death from overwork,” is a recognized diagnosis that qualifies survivors of its victims to receive employee compensation payments. A 1998 survey of 526 Japanese men, aged 30 to 69, supported the idea that long working hours can be hazardous to a man’s health. The subjects of the study included men who had been hospitalized with a heart attack as well as healthy men of similar ages and occupations. The results were striking: men from both groups who put in more than 11 hours of work on an average day were 2.4 times more likely to have a heart attack than were those worked “just” seven to nine hours a day.

［D］ These heartstopping results do not stand alone. An earlier study of 2,465 bus drivers linked the intensity of traffic on the drivers’ routes to a twofold increase in the risk of death and heart attack; lack of social support compounded the problem. Job strain was implicated as a predictor of mortality in a sevenyear study of 500 Swedish men; high demands and low control combined to explain this effect as well. In a related survey, researchers who evaluated 99,029 railway workers found that the combination of high job responsibility and low level of physical work was associated with an increased risk of heart attack.

［E］ The Japanese are notorious workaholics, but working conditions in Japan are actually designed to minimize stress among employees. In 1997 an international team addressed the question by examining the results of over a dozen earlier studies on work and health, which looked at conditions ranging from heart attacks to exhaustion and mental stress. Analysis of the data confirmed a correlation between hours of work and ill health; the effect was consistent and significant.

［F］ More research will be needed to verify these observations. Even now, however, there is enough evidence to suggest that job stress may increase a man’s risk of dying from heart disease. The combination of high mental demands, low personal control and inadequate social supports is particularly worrisome.

［G］ According to Sigmund Freud, a man’s mission in life is “to work and to love.” In this modern world, an excess of—or, at least, unprotected—love can be hazardous indeed. But what of work? Can a man literally work himself to death?
