erwards, they said that they did not feel any better. 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. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about. The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, 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(xué)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(yīng)對它。許多專家認為將與令人不安的事件有關(guān)的思想和情感表達出來是十分重要的。不能面對痛苦的經(jīng)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(jù)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(nèi)心想法和感受的學(xué)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(jù)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(yīng)和敏感性增強了。故選C。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)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(yīng)對它。然后通過兩個實驗證明,將內(nèi)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(guān)注的話題是情感經(jīng)歷和健康的關(guān)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(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round. About onequarter of those who work while attending school have both a fullcourse load and a fulltime job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (學(xué)費) and living costs, obviously. And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But it39。s not all upside. Even fulltime work may not pletely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fulltime job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they39。re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward for attending but not finishing college Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn39。t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.(1)According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________. throw parties a lot stay up late every night work besides attending classes pay no attention to exams(2)What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students? need of developing social networks. lack of summer jobs for young adults. chance of finding a job after graduation. expenses of high tuition and living costs.(3)We can learn from the passage that _________. students are more likely to finish college can cover their college expenses through working receive a huge reward for managing work and class while attending school may not help students get career benefits(4)What is the best title for the passage?
