【題目】根據短文內容, 從短文中的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。(共5小題, 每小題2分, 滿分10分)

Some jobs require employees to work night shifts. Working the night shifts often means better money, but that also comes negative side effects.

The human body is naturally inclined（傾向于）to work during the day and sleep at night. 【1】 Your body will be able to fully adjust to this new style of rest and work. However, according to the National Sleep Foundation, constant exhaustion（疲倦） may be part of the lifestyle of working the night shift.

In addition to exhaustion from working the night shift, sleep disturbances can occur, even when your body has the opportunity to get some shut-eye during the day. 【2】 Instead of getting a full eight hours of sleep, which is what most people need, it’s typical for night shift workers to only take a long nap after their shift.

Working night shifts can also cause social and relational problems. Because many social events happen during the evening, people who work the shift miss out on important relationship-building opportunities. 【3】 When husbands or wives rarely see one another or rarely go to bed together, this will affect their communication and their marriage life.

【4】 Exhaustion, sleep problems, personal and relational issues and other health issues, over time, can lead to depression if not taken care of properly.

【5】 According to the National Sleep Foundation, you can avoid these problems by working with others during your shifts, taking naps during your shifts and setting up a support group with other employees to discuss the problems you’re facing.

A. Working night shifts can help us a lot.

B. So working the night shift will take an adjustment.

C. Doctor and nurses often work night shifts to care for their patients.

D. In the long run, this can be harmful to relationships, especially marriage.

E. What’s worse, depression is likely to occur with all of these factors.

F. Of course, you can do something to reduce the side effects of working night shifts.

G. Many people have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep during daytime hours.

【解析】這是一篇介紹說明類的文章。文章主要介紹了上夜班的負面影響。

【1】上一句提到：人們天生傾向于在白天工作，晚上睡覺。下一句提到：你的身體能夠完全適應這種新的工作和休息方式。該空承上啟下，B選項切題：所以上夜班需要適應。

【2】上一句提到：上夜班除了使人感到很疲憊之外，還可能會使人產生睡眠障礙（即使你白天有機會休息）。承接上文，G選項切題：很多人很難在白天入睡。

【3】下一句提到：如果妻子和丈夫很少見面，這會影響他們之間的交流和婚姻生活。故可知D選項切題：從長遠來看，上夜班會影響人際關系，尤其是婚姻關系。

【4】由該段內容可知，疲憊，睡眠問題等因素，如果處理不恰當的話，都會導致情緒低落。故E選項適合做該段標題。

【5】該段主要介紹了避免上夜班產生的種種問題的一些方法。故F選項適合做該段標題。

【名師點評】七選五的解題技巧之一是根據上下文詞匯來鎖定線索。即：要關注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。在本文中，第1小題中的“adjust/adjustment”，第2小題前的“during the day”，第3小題中的“relationship，husbands or wives”，第4小題中的“depression”均與上下文或選項中有相呼應的詞語。
