1、Acceptance of Chronic IllnessFｏｒchronically ill patients, giving up the hope that they will get better may actually lead to more happiness, U. S. researchers suggest."Hope is an important part of happiness, but there\'s a dark side of hope. Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get in the way of happiness," Dr. Peter A. Ubel from the University of Michigan Health System said in a university news release.He ａｎｄ　his colleagues studied patients who\'d just had a colostomy (结肠造口术), which means their colons (结肠) were removed ａｎｄ　they had to have bowel (肠) movements in a pouch (小袋) outside the body. At the time of the surgery, some patients were told the procedure was reversible ａｎｄ　they\'d have a second operation in a few months to reconnect their bowels. Other patients were told the colostomy was permanent.The patients were followed fｏｒsix months, ａｎｄ　the researchers found that those without hope of regaining normal bowel function were happier than those with reversible colostomies."We think they were happier because they got on with their life. They realized the cards they were dealt, ａｎｄ　recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards," Ubel said. "The otherｇｒｏｕｐwas waiting fｏｒtheir colostomy to be reversed. They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead, ａｎｄ　didn\'t make the best of their current situation. "The study, published in the November edition of Health Psychology, also may explain why people whose spouse dies often recover better emotionally over time than those who get divorced, the researchers said.That\'s because people whose husbａｎｄ　ｏｒwife dies have closure (结束), while those who get divorced may still have hope fｏｒsome chance of making up, they explained.What could be the message of the passage? ______【单选题】

A.Giving up hope means giving up happiness.

B.Letting go of hope sometimes is a better choice.

C.Hope is what makes people move on.

D.Hope frequently gets in the way of happiness.

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要通读全文。文章第一段实际就是全文的主旨段落，谈到，对于病人来说放下治愈希望会更幸福，第二段第一句谈到，希望有时候会有不好的一面，第四段，第五段都提到了研究者发现放下治愈希望的病人比持有希望的病人要开心，回来看选项，B项和原文句意相符，是答案。

2、 Happiness If your sense of well-being fluctuates with stock market, you might be comforted to know that money can\'t buy you happiness anyway. In one American study conducted in 1993, level of income was shown to have an inverse relation to happiness: Theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had declined was happier overall than theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had increased. A soon-to-be published review of the hundreds of studies on this subject supports the 1993 findings. In developed countries, the correlation between income ａｎｄ　happiness is close to zero ａｎｄ　sometimes negative. With a correlation between level of income ａｎｄ　happiness somewhere between 0.12 ａｎｄ　0.18, the United States is near the bottom of the list; that factors other than income are overwhelmingly more important in explaining happiness. Also, as our material wealth increases, the gap between income ａｎｄ　satisfaction with life seems to be widening. Predictably, money has its most positive effect on the poor, but once a person has achieved a minimal standard of living level of income has almost nothing to do with happiness. Close relationship, rather than money, is the key to happiness. Indeed, the number of one\'s personal friends is a much better indicatｏｒof overall satisfaction with life than personal wealth. One stands a better chance of achieving a satisfying life by spending time with friends ａｎｄ　family than by striving fｏｒhigher income. Incidentally, in the US, as people become richer, the probability of divorce increases. Our need fｏｒcompanionship is partly biological. All primates respond with pleasure to demonstrations of affection ａｎｄ　with pain to loss of companionship. Isolated monkeys will sacrifice food just fｏｒthe glimpses of another monkey. By ignoring our biologically programmed need fｏｒeach other, we risk physical ａｎｄ　mental distress. A recent cross-national study of mental depression in the US found that in advanced countries, there is a rising tide of majｏｒdepression. Teenage suicides have increased in recent decades in almost all advanced countries. Moreover, in the US since World War Ⅱ, there has been an actual decline in the proportion of people who report themselves to be "very unhappy. " You can easily test the claim that companionship exceeds wealth as a source of happiness. Ask yourself which has a greater influence on your satisfaction with life: your income ｏｒthe affection of your intimate companions ａｎｄ　the well-being of your children? Conversely, which would make you more depressed: a reduction in salary ｏｒa divorce ａｎｄ　isolation from your friends? Capitalism succeeds in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoorer countries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. Can we afford to believe that the pursuit of material gain will lead to self-fulfillment? We should continue to enjoy our wealth in good company, ｏｒelse we may find that it is not satisfying. Which of the following is the least likely cause of one\'s unhappiness in advanced countries? 【单选题】

A.Loss of friends.

B.Reduction of income.

C.Death of a family member.

D.Divorce.

正确答案:B

答案解析:Capitalism (advanced countries) succeeded in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. (But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoｏｒcountries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. 该句说“资本主义（制度）（借助后句中分别出现的‘发展中国家’和‘穷国’，判断Capitalism是指“发达国家”）成功地创造了物质财富，但是它在建立和谐社会和保护家庭的完整上就不太成功”，从这个句子可以推出结论：资本主义国家的不足之处：不能很好地维持社会的和谐和家庭的完整应该是造成资本主义国家的人民不快乐的原因，选项A、C和D都涉及社会和家庭，因此判断B（收入的减少）是答案。

3、Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a fiveyear research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer, They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumｏｒresearch Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason fｏｒlung cancer," said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine TumｏｒDiagnosis ａｎｄ　Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients fｏｒfive years. Among them, 1,433 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking ｏｒinhaling second-hａｎｄ　smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking ａｎｄ　complained about irritated eyes ａｎｄ　throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens ａｎｄ　about 25 percent of women\'s bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods. "Unless my family ａｎｄ　I don\'t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook," said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad fｏｒthe skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less. "Doctors said women\'s lung cancer had few links to personal health ａｎｄ　physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits ａｎｄ　weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with him."Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer fｏｒmen," said Dr. Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University\'s Medical College. "It\'s true that second-hａｎｄ　smoke ａｎｄ　cooking fumes are the main causes among women. "His research also warned people not to stａｎｄ　near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poｏｒquality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume fｏｒa long time, experts said.Which of the following has relatively little connection with women\'s lung cancer?【单选题】

A.Family cancer history.

B.Unhealthy dietary habits.

C.Weak immune systems.

D.Personal health ａｎｄ　physical condition.

正确答案:D

答案解析:细节考查题。回答此题时，应注意到文中“had few links to…”同“was closely related to…”这两处文字，link to同relate to都是联系的意思，但修饰它们的词few和closely差别很大，few表示否定意义，故正确答案为D。

4、When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the affliction ａｎｄ　find ways to combat it. Oftentimes, success is achieved, as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ ｏｒcell that causes the problem ａｎｄ　finds ways to effectively kill ｏｒcontain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region ｏｒcountry may be at grave risk, it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination, so as to safeguard lives ａｎｄ　ensure that the disease will not spread.The process of vaccination allows the patient\'s body to develop immunity to the virus ｏｒdisease so that, if it is encountered, one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this, a small weak ｏｒdead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment, so that his body\'s immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the disease\'s defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patient\'s immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that, should the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped ａｎｄ　trained to deal with it, having already done so before.There are dangers inherent in the process, however. On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much fｏｒthe body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing, and, therefore, the patient\'s death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine, designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population ａｎｄ　killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately l in 10,000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself ａｎｄ　dies from it. Thus, if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today, 3,000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970\'s, ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease, however, mandatory vaccinations may resume, resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.The phrase "ward it off naturally" (Paragraph 2) most probably means____.【单选题】

A.dispose of it naturally

B.fight it off with ease

C.see to it reluctantly

D.split it up properly

正确答案:B

答案解析:猜词题。本文第二段讲述了在接种疫苗后，身体自然可以跟这种疾病的致病菌进行对抗。因此，选项B“很轻松地与之对抗”与此相符合，故为正确答案。选项A“自然地将其排除”、选项C“很不情愿地去管理它”和选项D“恰当地分解它”都不符合题意。

5、Surprised by a MiracleI had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital fｏｒabout a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" patient is moving their hａｎｄ　ｏｒdoing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it\'s "wishful thinking" on the Families\' part. Nurses can easily become callous to it.On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient\'s wife came in. I had taken care of him fｏｒseveral nights. I was very familiar with his care ａｎｄ　what he was able to do. Actually, he didn\'t do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning.His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stａｎｄ　on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face ａｎｄ　talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her fｏｒa few minutes, ａｎｄ　then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he\'s moving his hand!"I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, ａｎｄ　that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time ａｎｄ　had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened ａｎｄ　she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　he did!"This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to?" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn\'t believe her ｏｒthat she was somehow mistaken.She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, "Well, ask him to let go. " He continued to squeeze fｏｒa moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn\'t believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger. " He did as asked.Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen ａｎｄ　his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up. "The authｏｒ"almost fell on the floor" because ____.【单选题】

A.she could hardly believe her eyes

B.she had been working too hard

C.she had been deceived

D.she had been tripped
