【正文】 ress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and problems of digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. 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(xiàn)代社會(huì)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(huì)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(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“There are numerous physical effects of stress.”壓力對(duì)身體有很多影響?？芍@一段主要將壓力對(duì)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(dòng)以及能造成高血壓，可知，加速脈率是壓力可能對(duì)身體造成的影響之一。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“People suffering from stress often feel anxious.”壓力大的人常常感到焦慮。可知，焦慮是壓力可能對(duì)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(jù)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(yán)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(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Rumors(謠言): we39。ve all heard some and we39。ve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they circulate differently because the way we share information has also changed. The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don39。t enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don39。t have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled(掩飾的) messages. Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox(自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish defining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the initial rumor. Another property of rumors is that they tend to bee viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it. How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from municating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor. One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That39。s why we say, history is always told by the victors. The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor39。s version of the story.（1）What39。s the author39。s attitude towards rumors? ....（2）What can we learn about rumors? have all heard some and believed them.39。re happy to be the receiving end of them. may have negative influence on society. often hide good intentions in the messages.（3）How are rumors like trees? keep changing, just as trees change their color. are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth. rumors have gaps, like the space between tree branches. rumors grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.（4）What does the underlined word viral in Paragraph 4 probably mean? easily spread acceptable easily defended. beneficial.（5）Which of the following may the author agree with? is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors. are often active in judging the rumors critically. should think about the hidden message of the rumors. told by the victors are usually better worth trusting.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）D（4）A（5）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，介紹了什么是謠言，謠言的危害，特點(diǎn)及怎樣避免謠言。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“In more traditional times they shook entire families.”；第二段中的“The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally.”；以及第四段中的“Another property of rumors is that they tend to bee viral.”等信息可知作者認(rèn)為謠言會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)人生活和社會(huì)造成混亂，作者對(duì)謠言是批評(píng)的態(tài)度。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally.”可知謠言會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)人生活和社會(huì)造成混亂，給社會(huì)帶來不良影響。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Change: It acts like a tree.
