【正文】 g campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association. The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a student39。s life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help. Like many college clinics, the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Central Florida (UCF)— one of the country39。s largest and fastestgrowing universities, has seen sharp increases in the number of clients: percent over last year alone. Anxiety has bee characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills. “They can39。t tolerate disfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said. More often, anxiety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issuelearning time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority. Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分診措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments. Like many college counseling centers, UCF has designed a variety of daily workshops and therapy groups that implicitly and explicitly address anxiety, depression and their triggers. Next fall the center will test a new app for treating anxiety with a sevenmodule cognitive behavioral program, accessible through a student39。s phone and augmented with brief videoconferences with a therapist. It also offers semesterlong, 90minute weekly therapy groups, such as “Keeping Calm and in Control”, “Mindfulness for Depression” and “Building Social Confidence” for students struggling with social anxiety.（1）Which of the following contributes to anxiety according to the text?A.Protection from teachers.B.An app in students39。 phones.C.Increasingly learning pressure.D.Management of time learning.（2）What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Prevention.B.Motivation.C.Acquisition.D.Direction.（3）What39。s the purpose of those therapy groups mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To help students suffering anxiety.B.To test what social anxiety is.C.To introduce the cognitive behavioral program of UCF.D.To emphasize the importance of calm and confidence.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Tips on dealing with anxietyB.Causes of anxiety and depressionC.Different mental diseases threaten college studentsD.College mental health centers overburdened with anxious students【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】焦慮癥已經(jīng)超越抑郁癥成為大學(xué)生中最常見(jiàn)的心理健康問(wèn)題，文章分析焦慮可能產(chǎn)生的原因，以及某些大學(xué)為此采取的措施。（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media（專(zhuān)家稱(chēng)焦慮癥的原因多種多樣，從早年積累下來(lái)的學(xué)業(yè)壓力、家長(zhǎng)的過(guò)度保護(hù)到對(duì)社交媒體的強(qiáng)迫性依賴(lài)）可知，C項(xiàng)（增加的學(xué)習(xí)壓力）會(huì)導(dǎo)致焦慮，故選C。（2）詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上句內(nèi)容Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves.（很多學(xué)生都習(xí)慣于父母無(wú)微不至的監(jiān)督，幾乎沒(méi)有自制能力。）故這里遞進(jìn)的句子And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life skills.（由于家長(zhǎng)總在身邊，學(xué)生們普遍缺乏學(xué)習(xí)獨(dú)立生活技能的________。），B項(xiàng)“動(dòng)力”最符合語(yǔ)境，故劃線單詞意思為“動(dòng)力”，選B。（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)本段表述的內(nèi)容：像許多大學(xué)的心理咨詢(xún)中心一樣，以直接或間接的方式解決焦慮、抑郁問(wèn)題及其觸發(fā)源。明年秋天，該中心將對(duì)一種新的擁有七個(gè)模塊的認(rèn)知行為療法應(yīng)用程序進(jìn)行測(cè)試，學(xué)生可以通過(guò)手機(jī)獲取該應(yīng)用，并可與治療師進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)短的視頻談話(huà)。故這些治療小組的目的時(shí)為了幫助那些患焦慮癥的學(xué)生。故選A。（4）主旨大意題。通讀全文可看出，文章介紹了焦慮癥已經(jīng)成為美國(guó)大學(xué)生中最常見(jiàn)心理問(wèn)題，大學(xué)的心理咨詢(xún)中心已經(jīng)超負(fù)荷，故選D作為標(biāo)題最合適。8．閱讀理解 A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(萬(wàn)億)connections in the brain of a threeyearold child. Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mubaba. This is the patternABB. Another order was mubage. This is the pattern “ABC”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the ABB pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. Position is key to language, she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear.39。 is very different from 39。The bear caught John.39?！?Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn39。t appear to be enough for children39。s brain development. They carried out a study of ninemonthold American babies. They expected the first group who39。d watched videos in
