A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.

思考题：

21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home______.      

[A] was an unrealistic place for relaxation

[B] generated more stress than the workplace

[C] was an ideal place for stress measurement

[D] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.

21. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home_______. .

[A] was an unrealistic place for relaxation

[B] generated more stress than the workplace

[C] was an ideal place for stress measurement

[D] offered greater relaxation than the workplace

这个时候题干中的previous surveys就等于most surveys，因为开始说了A new study

新研究的结果是：在家里压力会比工作的时候压力大。

同时说了新研究结果和之前的研究结果是相反的。

所以之前的研究结果就应该是：工作的时候比在家里压力更大。

=家能比工作场所提供更大的放松

所以D选项是正确的！

这就是我们讲的正话反说的思维，就是我们讲的精 确定位的思维！

我们一起继续盘出题人的思路和套路！

句：

A new study suggests(主干) that +宾语从句contrary to most surveys(状语), people are actually more stressed at home than at work.(宾语从句主干)

参考译文：一项新的研究表明，与大多数调查相反，人们在家里实际比在工作中更有压力。

第二句：

Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.

(这里的while 就表示”在…的时候”)

参考译文：研究人员对人们在家和工作时的皮质醇(这是一种压力的指标)进行了测量，他们发现在家，这个本应是避难所的地方，皮质醇指标更高(也就是压力更大)。

怎么样感觉到了吧！

在返回去看看女性那道题哦！

都是一样的，问的不是最 新的成果，而是问之前的研究结果。
