【解析】

在全世界最大的科技公司之一的谷歌工作是有壓力和無聊的嗎？一點(diǎn)也不！實(shí)際上，谷歌有著美國大公司中最好的生活環(huán)境。本文介紹了谷歌的工作環(huán)境。

【1】句意: 實(shí)際上，谷歌有著美國大公司中最好的生活環(huán)境。

After all畢竟；By the way順便說說；For example例如；In fact實(shí)際上。Not at all！表示“一點(diǎn)也不”，此句緊接表達(dá)，在谷歌工作不會(huì)壓力大或者無聊。In fact介詞與名詞的固定搭配，表示“實(shí)際上”，逗號(hào)隔開，修飾整個(gè)句子。然后介紹Google有最好的工作環(huán)境。故選D。

【2】句意：在谷歌的工作環(huán)境相當(dāng)放松。

surprising令人驚訝的；relaxing放松的；interesting有趣的；amusing好玩的。根據(jù)The company encourages staff to do whatever they want in the office.“公司鼓勵(lì)員工在辦公室想做什么做什么。”以及Is it stressful and boring working at Google“在谷歌工作是有壓力和無聊的嗎？”可知此空是與壓力相對的“放松的”。故選B。

【3】句意：動(dòng)物愛好者甚至能帶寵物上班。

almost幾乎；ever曾經(jīng)；even甚至；both兩者都。此空為副詞修飾動(dòng)詞bring，此句的前四句都是介紹在公司可以做的事情，此句表示可以帶寵物上班，even用于加強(qiáng)語氣，表示“甚至”，意為“動(dòng)物愛好者甚至能帶寵物上班。”故選C。

【4】句意：它提供很多有趣的免費(fèi)課程，例如手語、烹飪、繪畫和鋼琴。

guides指導(dǎo)；offers提供；takes取走；learns學(xué)習(xí)。此處It指代上文提到的the company，并結(jié)合句意可知公司提供一些免費(fèi)有趣的課程，公司作主語，只有offers符合句意，表示“提供”。故選B。

【5】句意：咖啡壺和開放廚房隨處可見。

everywhere隨處可見；somewhere某個(gè)地方；anywhere任何地方；nowhere任何地方都不。根據(jù)no staff member should be 100 feet away from food.可知員工離食物不超過100英尺�？赏茰y咖啡壺和開放廚房應(yīng)該是到處都有，才能讓員工距離食物不遠(yuǎn)。故選A。

【6】句意：其中一個(gè)管理者說：“我們關(guān)心員工的健康，因此我們鼓勵(lì)他們吃健康的食物。我們研究表明如果提供給人們足夠的食物，他們就能做出更好的選擇�！�

choice選擇；cooking烹飪；health健康；behavior行為。根據(jù)have healthy food可知他們關(guān)心員工的健康。故選C。
