ischargeofstresshormones。15、Sincethe1950s,peoplerealizethatstresswillbecomeworseifthepersondoesn’tcontrolitandispessimistic.标准答案：D知识点解析：根据题目中的1950s可查找到D段第3句。题目是对该句子的同义转述。其中becomeworse与原文的aggravated同义，doesn’tcontrolit对应原文的hasnosenseofcontrol，而pessimistic一词则是对原文hasnohopethatthingswillgetbetter的概括。16、Accordingtothestatisticsfromasurvey,wecanconcludethatalotofpeoplecan’thandlestressproperly.标准答案：E知识点解析：根据关键词statistics，asurvey和handlestress可查找到E段。该段前几句讲到，“有些人是精神健康的完美范例。他们能运用他们解决问题的能力处理他们的压力来源，而其余的人却做不到这一点”，接着用数据46％、57％和53％列举了一项调查研究的结果。作者引入调查结果是为说明这些承受生活压力的人很多都不能适当地处理压力来源，故题目结论出自E段。17、Whenwearefacedwithstress,ourbrainswillbestrickenfirstandthenourbodies.标准答案：A知识点解析：根据关键词句Ourbrainswillbestrickenfirst和bodies可查找到A段。该段第6句讲到，我们每个人都会受到压力的攻击，首先是大脑，其次是身体。题目句子是对该句子的同义转述，其中first和then呼应原文的first和later。18、Astudyfromauniversityshowsthatstressmayaffectthemetabolismoffatsinthebody.标准答案：G知识点解析：根据Astudyfromauniversity和metabolismoffats可查找到G段。该段末句讲到，俄亥俄州立大学的一项研究发现压力引起甘油三酸脂在血液中停留更久，从而影响体内脂肪正常的新陈代谢。题目句子是对该研究发现的同义转述，其中affect是原文interferingwith的同义替换。19、Oneoftherelaxingmeasuresthatcanrestrictattentionandcalmthemindismeditationormindfulness.标准答案：N知识点解析：根据relaxingmeasures和meditationormindfulness等可查找到N段。该段提到了几种放松技巧(relaxationtechniques)，题目句子正是该段末尾提到的最后一个技巧，即meditationormindfulness。20、Anexperimentfoundstudentsweremorelikelytoberelievedfromphysicalandmentalstresswhentheyrepeatedlywroteaboutasingletraumaticevent.标准答案：L知识点解析：根据题目中的experiment，students和asingletraumaticevent定位至L段。该段提到的实验将重复写单一创伤事件的学生和写中性事件的学生进行了对比，发现前者比后者更容易从压力中缓解过来。题目是对该实验发现的概括，原文中的showedfewer…与题目中的morelikelytoberelievedfrom…内容一致。三、仔细阅读(本题共10题，每题1.0分，共10分。)IsitanywonderthatAmericaisalsoacountryofdangerouslyoverweightpeople?AccordingtoarecentstudybytheNationalCenterforHealthStatistics,thenumberofadultscharacterizedasoverweightintheUnitedStateshasjumpedtoanastonishingone-thirdofthepopulation.Overweightinthiscasemeansbeingabout20percentormoreaboveaperson'sdesirableweight.Sincethefiguresfor"desirableweight"havemovedupwardoverthelastdecadeorso,totalpoundage—evenat20percentover—maybeconsiderable.Soaretheattendanthealthrisks.Excessweighthasbeenlinkedtocardiovasculardisease,hypertension,adult-onsetdiabetesandsomeformsofcancer,amongotherdiseases.Once,whenworkandschoolandthegrocerystorewereatwo-milehikeaway,Americanscouldaffordthecaloriestheyconsume.Butnotnow,notwhenmillionsspendfourorfivehoursadayinfrontofaTVset—alongwithabagofchips,abowlofbutteredpopcornandasix-pack—andthere'sacarortwoineverydriveway."Thereisnocommitmenttoobesity(肥胖)asapublichealthproblem,"saidDr.WilliamDietz,directorofclinicalnutritionattheNewEnglandMedicalCenterinBoston."We'veignoredit,andblameditongluttonyandsloth."Ifonedefinitionofapublichealthproblemisitscosttothenation,thenobesityqualifies.AccordingtoastudydonebyDr.GrahamAColditz,whoteachesatHarvardMedicalSchool,itcostAmericaanestimated$68.8billionin1990.Butwhat'swrongblamingitongluttonyandsloth?True,someunfortunateoverweightpeoplehaveanunderlyingphysicalorgeneticproblem.ButformostAmericans,theproblemiswithtwoofthesevendeadlysins.Losingweightisadesperatelydifficultbusiness.Preventinggain,however,isnot.Consumerinformationiseverywhere,andtherecanbefewadultswhotrulybelievethathotdogs,fries,asodaandacoupleofTwinkiesmakeagoodlunch.Buttheyeatthemanyway.AsmoreandmoreAmericansbecameeducatedtotherisksofsmoking,moreandmoreAmericansgaveupthehabit.NowitappearsthatAmericansneedanintensiveeducationintherisksofstuffingthemselvesandfailingtoexerciseaswell.Giventheseductivenessofchocolateandcheese,thecouchandthecar,thathabitwillbehardtobreak.Butifanounceofpreventioncanobviateapoundoffat,itiswellworththestruggle.21、Theauthorsetsupthestandardofoverweightpeoplebasedonthefactthat______.A、thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreasedB、peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnowC、overweightbecomesathreattopeople’shealthD、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied标准答案：B知识点解析：作者在第2段第2句定义了超重的概念，虽然没有明确指出为什么要以超出20％为标准，但是从下一句中的插入成分even…可以推断，以前并非以20％为超重的标准的，现在以此为标准是因为人们对理想体重的标准改变了，因此选项B为本题答案。22、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks",theauthormeans______.A、AmericasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblemB、healthrisksresultedfromoverweightareserioustooC、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblemsD、peoplehavealsopaymuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks标准答案：B知识点解析：本题考点是一个倒装句。第2段主要指出肥胖问题很严重，可以推断本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很严重。第3段第2句表明超重造成各种健康问题，由此可推断本段首句中的theattendanthealthrisks可理解为“超重造成对健康的危害”，结合这两点的理解，可推断选项B为本题答案。23、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?A、Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.B、Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.C、Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.标准答案：A知识点解析：第5段首句是WilliamDietz对肥胖症的看法，句中的obesityasapublichealthproblem表明Dietz认为肥胖症是一个公共健康问题，因此选项A为本题答案。24、MostAmericansbelievethat______.A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuchB、obesityisrelatedtoone’sphysicalconditionsC、peoplewhoareoverweightareunfortunateD、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins标准答案：D知识点解析：第6段句末的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是该段第3句提到的
