D.workaholicsareasaddictedtotheirjobasotherpeoplearetodrugsoralcohol答案：9-12

CCBD解析：9.

根据第二段第二句…trueworkaholicswouldratherworkthandoanythingelse...可知工作狂只是更愿意工作，而非只知道工作，A说法过于绝对。根据第四段第三句：Itprovidespeoplewith

paychecks可排除B。文中只提到“工作狂”工作时间比其他人更长、工作更卖力，但未提及他们的责任问题，故排除D。根据第四段第四句：Butit(＝work)offersmorethanfinancialsecurity及第五句：It(＝work)providespeoplewith

selfconfidence...afeelingofsatisfaction...可知C正确.10.

从文章第四段第五、六句我们知道，工作赋予他们一种满足感、成就感(senseofbeingaccomplished)，工作使人获得一种认同(identity)，通过参与工作，他们获得一种自我意识和个人意识。可知C正确。而金钱只是人们工作的目的之一，并不是最重要的方面。故不选A。人们到老年仍然工作，并非由于不愿意做家务，也并不是担心整天无所事事会引起健康方面的问题。所以B和D不正确。11.

文章中心围绕工作狂的特点展开，第二段提出工作狂可能是一个很严重的问题，但在第三段也指出工作狂也可快乐地生活，并介绍了快乐的原因。所以可以看出主题是讲“工作狂”既有负面影响又有正面影响”，因此选B。12.

首段首句指出“人们认为工作狂的生活状态是正常的”。A项与之相反，故可排除。B太片面，因为工作狂也喜欢生活，第三段说manyworkaholicshavegreat14.You'redrivingtoofast.Canyoudrive

A．arebeinguncoveredB．havebeenuncoveringC．areuncoveringD．haveuncovered答案：A解析：分析语境逻辑不难发现，该空表示“现在正在被揭示”，应填现在进行时被动语态动词形式arebeinguncovered。21.—Theplaneisduetotakeoffat7:50fromtheairport._____wefailtoarrivethereintime?

-Justafewminutes.Mycousins___hometogetherwithme.A．havewalkedB．hadwalkedC．walkedD．havebeenwalking答案：C解析：考查时态的用法。根据答语justafewminutes可知说话人此刻正是在房间里，因此“走回家”这一动作发生在现在之前，应使用一般过去时态。23.Hisexplanationwassoclearthateveryonecouldunderstanditwith
