【文章內容簡介】 , that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.（1）In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________. to suffer psychological problems sharing their inner thought and feelings less likely to seek treatment for sickness39。t deal with suffering effectively（2）People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________. more bacteria and viruses in their blood decreased feelings of loneliness an improved white cell reaction better in their writing tasks（3）What does the underlined word invaders refer to? white cells. and viruses. to illness. reaction and sensitivity of the cells.（4）What is the best title of the passage? and Health Thoughts and Feelings and Health Illness and Social Acceptance【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，心理學的研究表明，如果人們能夠理解并接受痛苦，人們就能更有效地應對它。許多專家認為將與令人不安的事件有關的思想和情感表達出來是十分重要的。不能面對痛苦的經歷本身就可能是某種形式的壓力，也會增加患病的可能性。所以從長遠來看，不要默默忍受，說出來或者寫出來將有助于身體對抗疾病。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.”可知，在隨后的幾個月里，那些選擇在寫作中表達自己內心想法和感受的學生，比那些寫過日常話題的人更少去看病。故選C。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的“However, their blood samples(樣本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these ‘invaders’.”可知，在第二個實驗中寫下了個人問題的人顯示他們的白細胞對細菌和病毒的反應和敏感性增強了。故選C。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據第三段中的“The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses…”可知，白細胞是用來對抗細菌和病毒的，因此these invaders 指的就是細菌和病毒這些“入侵者”。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文開頭提出觀點，如果人們能夠理解并接受痛苦，人們就能更有效地應對它。然后通過兩個實驗證明，將內心的感受通過說或者寫的方式表達出來從長遠看會有助于身體對抗疾病。因此本文關注的話題是情感經歷和健康的關系問題。選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 For decades, doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart. Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. Salt is made up of two elements: sodium and chlorine. Dietary guidelines remend that adults and kids aged 9 — 13 shouldn39。t consume more than about a teaspoon of salt daily. The average American eats twice this amount. This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease. A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖). British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, bee obese and develop high blood pressure. Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it. Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments (調味品). You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are 1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2, 000 mg in many frozen meals.（1）What is the author39。s major concern? eat too much salty food. adults suffer from heart attack. consume too much salt. attack is now a youth problem.（2）What does the author refer to as the cause of childhood obesity? more salty food. of physical exercise. many sugary soft drinks. the same food as the adults.（3）What is another disease tending to be younger according to Paragraph 4? . stone. disease. attack.（4）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? laws of health. to cut down on salt. diet. amount of salt we need.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了鹽對心臟有影響的原因，以及人們在日常生活中保持低鹽的生活方式。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. ”長期以來，心臟病被認為是成年人的問題，但一項新的研究表明，鹽開始影響兒童。年輕時吃太多咸的食物會導致以后的健康問題；以及第三段中的“A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure.”一個有高血壓的孩子更有可能成為一個有高血壓的成年人，可知，文章作者特別擔心孩子食用過咸的食物導致心臟病和高血壓。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的“Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖). British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. ”減少鹽可能有助于阻止兒童長胖。英國的研究人員最近發(fā)現吃鹽少的孩子喝的含糖飲料也更少，可知，作者認為吃多鹽食品和喝過多含糖的軟飲料也會使孩子長胖。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第四段中的“A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it.”最近一項研究發(fā)現越來越多的美國孩子正在患腎結石。這種痛苦的病通常只在40歲以上的人才患，現在五歲的孩子也在遭受這種疾病，可知，研究發(fā)現現在腎結石這種病正在變得年輕化。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據第五段中的“The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and
