贵州师范大学期末课程考试试卷（A） 考试科目：《 大学英语（三） 》 考试时间：2021.1 Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (20%) Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage Somebody ought to defend the workaholic (工作狂). These people are unjustly accused and abused—often called sick or on the border of being mad. One-third of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too. Workaholics are the achievers. It is as though we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something. Some popular psychologists say that workaholic has an inferiority complex(自卑感)which leads to overcompensation. This is certainly not the case. Inferiority, or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes devotion. We do not seem to realize that very little excellence as achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein, Freud all had single-minded devotion to work by means of which they sacrificed many things, including family and friendship. The blame is made that workaholics bear guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist in the balanced life also. Consider how many “normal” people find, at middle age, that they have never done anything well, they are going to settle for less than what they could have become. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true? Two-thirds of art and science work are on the shoulders of workaholics. Most of American business is done by workaholics. One-third of American art and business work are done by non-workaholics. Workaholics play very important roles in art and science fields. In the last paragraph, the word “well-balanced” probably means _____. A. happy B. regular C. good D. rich 3. According to this passage _____. A. Freud led a well-balanced life B. great men are never moral people C.
