They may have panic attacks and feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous. Longterm stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve(釋放)stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one39。s mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health, our feelings and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.（1）What physical effects does stress result in? to little problems. blood pressure low. from depression. the pulse rate.（2）Which one belongs to the emotional problem? abuse. addiction.. missing.（3）What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? causing mental problems. causing physical problems. causing emotional problems. causing panic attacks.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，在現代社會中，壓力是很多健康問題的原因之一。作者分析了壓力可能會給大家?guī)淼纳眢w方面的問題、情緒方面以及精神方面的問題。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的“There are numerous physical effects of stress.”壓力對身體有很多影響。可知，這一段主要將壓力對身體可能帶來的影響；以及“It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure.”它能加速脈率，使心臟停止跳動以及能造成高血壓，可知，加速脈率是壓力可能對身體造成的影響之一。故選D。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的“People suffering from stress often feel anxious.”壓力大的人常常感到焦慮?？芍?，焦慮是壓力可能對人的情緒帶來的影響之一。所以焦慮屬于情感問題。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據第四段中的“Longterm stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses.”長期壓力能帶來很多嚴重的精神疾病，可知，本段主要討論壓力可能帶來的精神問題。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of being better readers than those who don39。t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them, Donna George said. They are sadly mistaken. George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. It is better for children to hear things at a high level than where they are, George said. Parents are their child39。s first teacher. Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Jones said that while her 14yearold daughter and 10yearold son enjoy reading, the television sometimes bees a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents39。 job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.（1）According to George, reading aloud to children ______. them correct mistakes helpful to their reading parents39。 first duty to their children get children out of television39。s attraction（2）The underlined word distraction (in Paragraph4) means something that can _____. children39。s reading skills children form the right habit of reading children interested in reading children concentrating on reading（3）What is important according to the fourth paragraph? skills. speed. materials. environment.（4）The best title for the passage would be ______. Spend More Time Reading with Parents Are Their Child39。s First Teacher Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader to Improve Children39。s Reading Ability【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了經常與父母一起閱讀的孩子更容易成為優(yōu)秀的閱讀者，在父母的幫助下，孩子們會提高閱讀技巧，并詳細闡述了父母如何使孩子成為更好的閱讀者。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的“Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.”可知家長對孩子大聲的閱讀，會幫助他們建立聽力、發(fā)音、理解和詞匯技能。即家長對孩子大聲的閱讀對孩子的閱讀是有幫助的，故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據第四段中的“Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television.”可知電視是影響孩子閱讀的敵人，所以當Louise Joines14歲的女兒和10歲的兒子享受閱讀的快樂時，電視就會成為使他們分心的東西，所以distraction的意思是“分心”，故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。第四段主要講了為了避免電視成為孩子閱讀的障礙，不建議在孩子的臥室安裝電視，而且列舉了Louise Jones的例子，為了避免電視使孩子分心，Louise Jones營造全家都讀書的氛圍。所以從本段可以知道閱讀環(huán)境是很重要的，故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。主要講述了經常與父母一起閱讀的孩子更容易成為優(yōu)秀的閱讀者，在父母的幫助下，孩子們會提高閱讀技巧。并詳細闡述了父母如何使孩子成為更好的閱讀者。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，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。6．閱讀理解 Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it39。s been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing (沖洗)off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are mon in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria. The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn39。t caught on because it goes aga
