【1】根據(jù)下文提示“這對(duì)提高工作效率也有好處。”承接下文，G項(xiàng)Good news is, this workplace complaining is actually beneficial to your mental well-being.（好消息是，這種工作場(chǎng)所的抱怨實(shí)際上對(duì)你的精神健康有益。）切題。空格下句中的too“也”，將上下句連在一起。故選G。

【2】根據(jù)空格下文提示“普萊特在接受澳大利亞廣播公司珀斯電臺(tái)采訪時(shí)表示，他觀察到這種開(kāi)玩笑和抱怨持續(xù)了12個(gè)月，并意識(shí)到‘這有助于人們處理壓力和沮喪情緒’。”承接下文，F項(xiàng)It was found that there’s actually benefits to these kinds of complaining session（研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種抱怨其實(shí)是有好處的）切題。故選F。

【3】分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)___3___,there will always be a corner of the office or the lunch room可知，前半句應(yīng)該是一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句或非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式，不可能是并列句，所以在B/D中選擇。再根據(jù)后半句提示“在辦公室或午餐室的某個(gè)角落，總會(huì)有一群或多或少的員工在某種程度上發(fā)泄不滿。”承接后半句，B項(xiàng)No matter what kind of environment you work in（無(wú)論你在什么樣的環(huán)境下工作）切題。B項(xiàng)與后半句構(gòu)成含讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)分號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容“為了更好地理解它的功能，她不得不研究其他領(lǐng)域，如語(yǔ)言學(xué)。”承接后半句，E項(xiàng) But this common activity in every workplace was so under -researched（但這種普遍存在于每個(gè)工作場(chǎng)所的活動(dòng)卻沒(méi)有得到足夠的研究）切題。故選E。

【5】根據(jù)上文提示“無(wú)論是禮貌地討論辦公室運(yùn)作的效率，還是抱怨老板，普萊特發(fā)現(xiàn)抱怨可以起到溝通的作用。”承接上文，C. It can even help staff to work through their negative feelings（它甚至可以幫助員工克服消極情緒）切題。故選C。
