【解析】

本文介紹的是工作狂的一些生活狀態(tài)以及優(yōu)劣點(diǎn)，文章難度中等。

【1】句意：他們可能不知道如何放松。

A. still仍然，B. probably可能，C. politely有禮貌地，D. excitedly興奮地。根據(jù) “ they___1___have no idea of how to relax, that is, they might not enjoy movies,sports,or other types of entertainment.” 可知他們可能不懂如何放松自我，故選B.

【2】句意：最重要的是，他們討厭坐著什么都不做。

A. dream 夢(mèng)想，B. decide決定，C. intend打算，D. hate討厭。根據(jù)后一句 “ When workhalism are not at work they feel ill at ease(局促不安)，jumpy and nervous.”可推斷大多數(shù)的迷戀工作者不喜歡坐在那什么事都不干。故此空填D.

【3】句意：此外，典型的工作狂在開車、睡覺或別人說話的時(shí)候都會(huì)想著他們的工作。

A. Therefore因此，B. Hardly幾乎不，C. Anyway無論如何，D. Besides此外。前文介紹了迷戀工作者的一些特征，此空后又接著說典型的工作狂會(huì)害怕如果不努力工作，他們就會(huì)失去工作甚至被定義為失敗之人。故此空填D.

【4】句意：他們的工作給他們帶來了挑戰(zhàn)，這讓他們保持忙碌和創(chuàng)造性

A. equip裝備，設(shè)備，B. pack打包，C. provide提供，D. offer提供。由句意及介詞with可推斷出填provide.

【5】句意：工作有幾個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

A. means方式，B. advantages優(yōu)點(diǎn)，C. steps步驟，D. ways方法。根據(jù)最后一段最后三行可知討論的是工作狂的一些好處。故此空填B.

【6】句意：但通常它提供的不僅僅是財(cái)務(wù)安全

A. no more不再，B. more or less 或多或少，C. less than少于，D. more than多于，超過。前一句說工作為人們提供了工資，但緊接著說but 可推斷工作不僅僅為人們提供了工資，更多地是經(jīng)濟(jì)的保障。故此處填D.

完形填空是難度最大的題。它集閱讀理解、語法、句法、詞法于一體，是考查語言綜合運(yùn)用的能力的一道題。解題的方法第一要帶著空，通讀全文，搞清事件發(fā)生的背景。緊緊抓住上下文語境所提供的信息，充分利用各種線索，語法知識(shí)，以及句子之間的關(guān)系，詞的搭配，結(jié)合上下文背景語境，結(jié)合句意選擇適合語境的選項(xiàng)。
