Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.
Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),
C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through
the center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following
passage.
In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe
developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the
tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative
events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the
list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like
marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that
the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows
how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you
handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying
healthy.
By the early
1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe.
And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried
over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a
memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress
causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally
healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.
But such
simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events
are dangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to
avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a
prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as
trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to
be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take
a new job or move.
The notion
that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know
about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in
the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and
creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical
and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long
time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical
and metal strain.
21.The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us
________.
A) the way
you handle major events may cause stress
B) what
should be done to avoid stress
C) what kind
of event would cause stress
D) how to
cope with sudden changes in life
22.The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ________.
A)
widespread concern over its harmful effects
B) great
panic over the mental disorder it could cause
C) an
intensive research into stress-related illnesses
D) popular
avoidance of stressful jobs
23.The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.
A) how much
pressure you are under
B) how
positive events can change your life
C) how
stressful a major event can be
D) how you
can deal with life-changing events
24.Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to
follow?
A) No one
can stay on the same job for long.
B) No
prescription is effective in relieving stress.
C) People
have to get married someday.
D) You could
be missing opportunities as well.
25.According to the passage people who have experienced ups and
downs may become ________.
A) nervous
when faced with difficulties
B)
physically and mentally strained
C) more
capable of coping with adversity
D)
indifferent toward what happens to them
