解析試題分析：外面的風景是多么的美麗，面對無聊的辦公室工作，為什么不去度假呢？因此對全世界各國的假期情況進行了一個調(diào)查。報告中指出了美國、法國、瑞典、英國等國家的假期情況，但是報告中也展示出了有的國家工人并不是將全部假期用完。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。問題：有多少美國工人不全部用完他們的假期？分析原文：A new survey(調(diào)查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.句意：一個調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)：31%的美國工人并不是一直花費全部的假期，因此結(jié)合選項之意，選擇第四項。故選D
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。問題：實際上美國一年平均有多少天的假期？分析原文：Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.句意：美國人每年假期平均有12天，但是他們每年平均返還3天的假期。分析問題：實際有多少天的假期，有12天，返還3天，12-3=9，因此實際為九天的假期。故選 A
【小題3】細節(jié)理解題。問題：哪一個國家有多數(shù)工人在假期中工作？分析原文：Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.句意：工人在瑞典獲得每年平均25天的假期, 但他們不能找到合適的方式來使用它們。所以更多的工人在假期工作。這種現(xiàn)象比其它調(diào)查過的國家都多。從最后的總結(jié)中體現(xiàn)了答案。故選C
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。問題：在最后一段中這個單詞的意思？分析原文：their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪ would sacrifice a day’s pay(工資)for one more vacation day.句意：周末或假期太短，40﹪的人將放棄一天的工資為了能夠多一個假期。也就是說他們會請假去休息。故選D
【小題5】細節(jié)理解題。問題：下列的描述中正確的是哪一項？分析原文：French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪ plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.句意：法國工人平均有39天的假期，40﹪的人計劃一個至少3到4周的假期。故選B
