er personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. 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. In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the fourday writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, 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對它。許多專家認為將與令人不安的事件有關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。因此本文關注的話題是情感經(jīng)歷和健康的關系問題。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)信息的基礎上,進一步根據(jù)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 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners39。 understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupundure,cupping and massage (針灸,拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injurylike marks left on Michael Phelps39。 back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know thatwhile 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture,not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs, are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs uscd1 their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical position and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity, While Western medicinemaking panies e up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu You your39。s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria(瘧疾)treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China39。s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.(1)The author mentions the example of Michael Phelps in order to show . was injured in his swimming. is a kind of important TCM treatment. know a little about TCM. attach great importance to TCM.(2)Why don39。t some member countries of WIIO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases they only approve the practice of acupuncture western medicine 15 more effective medicine made out or Chinese herbs develops slowly(3)Compared with Western medicine, what is the main weak point of TCM ? methods of processing herbs. effe
