You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. 可知，在我的記憶中，冬天總是很不令人愉快。你外出時必須穿得暖和一點(diǎn)。所以通過 keep warm可知，外出時要想暖和一些，就要多穿衣服。故判斷出第1段中帶下劃線的單詞bundle up是多穿點(diǎn)衣服。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的 At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. 可知，只要按下按鈕，或者通過手機(jī)上 應(yīng)用程序，安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件就會產(chǎn)生熱量。所以電子保暖服裝工作的原理是安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件產(chǎn)生熱量。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的Fortunately, things don39。t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engine ring and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems可知，幸運(yùn)的是，事情不需要再這么有挑戰(zhàn)性了。先進(jìn)的技術(shù)、引擎環(huán)和設(shè)計為我們提供了解決老問題的新方法。所以C選項(xiàng)科技無法讓冬天變得不那么難熬不符合短文說明的內(nèi)容。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知，在科技并不發(fā)達(dá)的過去，人們可能會為如何在嚴(yán)寒天氣里更好地保暖而倍感困擾。現(xiàn)如今，每到嚴(yán)冬時節(jié)，雖然溫度驟降、天氣惡劣，但隨著各類智能保暖產(chǎn)品的問世，冬天也能變得舒適宜人。人們憑借科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)明了各式各樣的防寒方法。比如，用智能電子設(shè)備調(diào)節(jié)屋內(nèi)和衣物的溫度；使用無線科技制造會自動發(fā)熱的服飾。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題為讓現(xiàn)代科技溫暖你的冬日。故B選項(xiàng)讓現(xiàn)代科技溫暖你的冬日符合題意。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile! Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive. He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support his opinion. When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷爾蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body39。s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fightorflight response. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are everpresent in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems. Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear. However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems. Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects. Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health. And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone39。s heart health.（1）Which of the following agrees with Dr. Chockalingam39。s opinion? has the same effects as laughter. can be used to take the place of medicine. is better than any healthy lifestyle to health. can make our body produce beneficial chemicals.（2）What can we know about the mentioned stress hormones? can lower our blood pressure. will surely lead to heart diseases. can benefit us when we are in danger. will make us live an unhealthy lifestyle.（3）Why does Dr. Chockalingam think smiling is helpful to our health? can make us relax. increases sugar levels. has little bad side effects. can happen for no reason.（4）What can be the best title for the text? Thorough Analysis of the Causes of Heart Diseases Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your Heart Thing That Is Closely Connected with Stress Hormones Clear Connection Between Unhealthy Lifestyles and Heart Diseases【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，哥倫比亞的心臟病專家Chockalingam博士建議多保持微笑，他認(rèn)為微笑可能是幫助心臟的一種方式。同時說明了微笑有利于健康的原因和人們感到壓力時的身體反應(yīng)等情況。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive.”當(dāng)我們微笑時，大腦的線路會發(fā)生變化。釋放出的化學(xué)物質(zhì)更積極?？芍?，Chockalingam博士認(rèn)為微笑能使我們的身體產(chǎn)生有益的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you.”如果你真的有危險，這些荷爾
