According to the current World Health Organizations (WHO)definition, occupational or work-related stress is “the response people may have when presented
36、 with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope. “ Distress is a prevalent and costly problem in todays workplace. About one-third of workers report high levels of stress. One-quarter of employees view their jobs as the
37、 number one stress in their lives. Three-quarters of employees believe the worker has more on-the-job stress than a generation ago. Evidence also suggests that distress is the major cause of turn over in organizations. With continued distress at the workplace, workers will develop psychological and
38、physiological dysfunctions and decreased motivation in excelling in their position. Increased levels of job stress are determined by the awareness of having little control but lots of demands in the work area. The Kenexa Research Institute released a global survey of almost 30,000 workers which show
39、ed that females suffered more workplace distress than their male counterparts. According to the survey, womens stress level were 10% higher for those in supervisory positions, 8% higher stress in service and production jobs than men, and 6% higher in middle and upper management than men in the same
40、position. Men and women are exposed to many of the same stressors. However, women may be more sensitive to interpersonal conflict whereas men might be more sensitive to things that waste time and effort. Furthermore, although men and women might not differ in overall strains, women are more likely t
41、o experience psychological distress, whereas men experience more physical strain. People suggest two explanations for the greater psychological distress of women. First, the genders differ in their awareness of negative feelings, leading women to express and report strains, whereas men deny and inhi
42、bit such feelings. Second, the demands to balance work and family result in more overall stressors for women that leads to increased strain. 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “the response people may have when presented with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and w
43、hich challenge their ability to cope”可知，当学识和能力与工作要求不匹配时，就会产生职业压力，所以本题表述正确。 2 【正确答案】 A 【试 题解析】 根据原文 “Distress is a prevalent and” 可知，职业压力具有普遍性，与题干表述一致。 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “With continued distress at the workplace， workers will develop psychological and physiological dysfunctions and” 可见，压力可能会导致ps
44、ychological and physiological dysfunctions， 而并非绝对会导致心理和身体问题，故题干表述错误。 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 原文说 “Evidence also suggests that distress is the major cause of turn over in organizations”，理解的关键在于 turn over，此处意为 “人员流动 ”，可以理解为职业去留，即压力是职业选择时的主要考虑原因，题干表述与此相符。 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “which showed that femal es su
45、ffered more workplace distress than their male counterparts womens stress level were 10 higher for those in supervisory positions， and 6 higher in middle and upper management than men in the same position”可知，同处在 supervisory positions，女性压力比男性压力高 10， 同处在 upper management，女性压力比男性高 6，题干说的是女性压力小，所以题干表述是错
46、误的。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “women may be more sensitive to interpersonal conflict whereas men might be more sensitive to things that waste time and effort”可知，男女对不同类型的压力敏感，即女性对人际冲突压力敏感，而男性则对浪费时间和身体方面更敏感， 所以题干表述错误。 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “women are more likely to experience psychological distress， whe
47、reas men experience more physical strain”可知，女性更容易承受心理压力，而男性更容易承受身体上的压力，故题干认为女性不易承受心理压力的表述是错误的。 8 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “the genders differ in their awareness of negative feelings， leading women to express and report strains”可知，两性在处理负面情绪时会采用不同的方式，女性更倾向于表达和报告负面情绪，从某种意义上可以说就是抱怨或者埋怨，故题干表述正确。 9 【正确答案】 A 【
48、试题解析】 根据原文 “the genders differ in their awareness of negative feelingswhereas men deny and inhibit such feelings”可知，面对负面情绪或者压力，男性更倾向于克制，而非表达。题干认为倾向于保持沉默，沉默是克制的表现，所以题干表述与原文意思是一致的。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 此题需要理解全文。文章主要谈论的是职业压力对两性身心有不同影响、两性对不同的压力敏感以及应对压力时的不同反应，即处理压力的不同方式，并未涉及谁更辛苦的问题，故题干表述错误。 SECTION 2 (10 p
