13 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder prevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social and romantic lives,a new survey finds.
The disorder leaves many isolated,ashamed and often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help,the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports.
“Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense,persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situations,”Jerilyn Ross,the association's president and CEO,said during a teleconference Wednesday.
“The condition causes people to avoid common,everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves,”Ross said.
Social anxiety disorder can interfere with daily routines and job performance,Ross noted.“It also makes it very difficult for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships,” she said.
People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and irrational,Ross noted. “But they feel powerless to do anything about it,”she said.
Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens,Dr. Mark H.Pollack,director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School,said during the teleconference.
“This is a disorder that starts affecting people early on,”Pollack said.“The typical age of onset is early adolescence,age 12 or 13,and many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood.”
The disorder also has physical symptoms,including heart palpitations,feelings that their throat will close up,sweating,blushing,faintness,trembling and stammering,Ross said.
Among people with the disorder,75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition,69 percent said they didn't want people to think they were crazy,and 58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition,Ross said.
However,when the condition is diagnosed and treated,many reported improvement in their lives.In fact,59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship.In addition,39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help,Ross noted.People with social anxiety disorder are known for their fear of______.
A: being left alone
B: leading normal lives
C: embarrassing other people
D: facing social or performance situations答案：D解析：题干意为“患有社交焦虑症的人因害怕……而出名”。利用题干中的细节信息词fear作为定位线索，同时利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语作为定位线索normal lives, social or performance situations，在短文的第三段中找到相关句：Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense,persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situa-tions,”Jerilyn Ross,the association's president and CEO,said during a teleconference Wednesday．相关句提到“美国焦虑症协会主席及总裁Jerilyn Ross星期三在电话会议上说，社交焦虑症是指一个人对社交场合或社交活动有着强烈的，持久的和非理性的恐惧”。由此可知答案为D项“害怕社交场合或社交活动”。
题干意为“患有社交焦虑症的人怎么看待他们感受到的恐惧？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词fear, control作为定位线索，备选项中出现了大量的修饰词beneficial“有益的”,controllable“可控制的”,justified“正当的”，在查找相关句的过程中也关注这些修饰词在短文中的出现情况，在短文的第六段中找到相关句：People with this disorder recognize their fear is ex-cessive and irrational, Ross noted.“But they feel powerless to do anything about it,” she said．相关句提到“患有社交焦虑症的人意识到他们的恐惧是过分的，没有道理的。但是他们却对此无能为力”。由此可知答案为A项“他们认为他们的恐惧超出了他们的控制”。
题干意为“关于患有社交焦虑症的人的陈述，下面哪个选项陈述的内容与短文内容不一致？”题干中没有细节信息词可以利用来作为定位线索，因此只能对备选项进行逐一判断：（第四段）“The condition causes people to avoid common. everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing them-selves,” Ross said．第四段提到“Ross说，这种状况使那些患有社交焦虑症的人逃避日常的交往甚至逃避与人接触，因为他们害怕被评论，被批评或是被羞辱，这会让他们非常尴尬”。显然D项“患有社交焦虑恐惧症的人往往会评论他人或批评他人”的意义与之意义不一致。所以答案D。该题主要考查考生对英语主被动语态的识别和理解。
题干意为“从最后一段中可以了解到对社交焦虑的治疗是什么情况？”短文的最后一段表明，不少患者在经过治疗后都有好转。因此答案为D项“会导致病人生活得到改善”。 -

Teaching Math,Teaching Anxiety
In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school,the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades,it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult,teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings:anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math,that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year,and the researchers compared the scores.
The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt,for example,was probably anxious about math.
Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
“This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,”said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia.The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings______.
A:prove a strong link between female teachers'math anxiety and their female students' math achievements
B: show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than female students
C: provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than females
D: discover a strong link between teachers'math anxiety and their students'math achievements答案：A解析：题干意为“依据第一段的内容来看，芝加哥大学的研究结果是什么？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语result of the research, University of Chicago, girls, math skills,boys,female teachers' math skills,girl students' math skills作为定位线索，在第一段中寻找到相关句：In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math．第一段是一个独立成段句，该句意为“在最 近一项关于小学生学数学的研究中，芝加哥大学的心理学家Sian Beilock和Susan Levine发现，女教师的想法和女学生的学习之间有着惊人的联系：如果女教师对自己的数学能力感到焦虑，她的女学生很可能会认为男孩学数学比女孩学得更好”。由此可知女教师对自己数学能力的自信会影响女生对自己数学能力的信心，从而最终会影响到女生的数学能力，因此答案为D项“女教师对自己数学能力的自信与女生的数学能力相关”。
题干意为“第三段暗示了什么？”题干中没有任何细节信息词可以利用，因此 只能利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语math teachers,math learners, subject,difficulty, difficult subject,teachers' confidence, teaching math, students learning math，利用这些线索词 在第三段中找到相关句：Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach.

题干意为“根据实验来看，当那些老师感到……时可能会对数学产生焦虑 感”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语experiment , teachers , numbers of a sales receipt作为定位线索，在第五段中找到相关句：The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy.

When Fear Takes Control of the Mind
A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long,but it may feel like forever. The
cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane.And it can
happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.A fast heart beat. Sweaty
hands.Difficulty in breathing. A light一headed feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But
these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder. The first appearance usually is between the ages of 18
and 25.In some cases it develop3 after a tragedy,like the death of a loved one,or some other difficult situation.
In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are af-
fected in any one-year period.The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is twice more like-
ly in women than men.And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.
Panic attacks can be dangerous一for example,if a person is driving at the time.The Chesapeake Bay
Bridge in the state of Maryland is so long and so high over the water,and it is famous for scaring motorists.
There is even a driver assistance program to help people get across.Some people who suffer a panic attack
develop a phobia,a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack.
But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or anti-depressant
medicines.Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack.There are
breathing methods,for example,that might help a person calm down.Panic disorder is included among what
mental health professionals call anxiety disorders.A study published last week reported a link between
anxiety disorders and several physical diseases.It says these include thyroid disease,lung and stomach prob-
lems,arthritis,migraine headaches and allergic conditions.Researchers at the University of Manitoba in
Canada say that in most cases the physical condition followed the anxiety disorder. However,they say,exactly
how the two are connected remains unknown.
The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than 4 ,000 adalts.According to a study,all of the following diseases may be associated with anxiety disorder EXCEPT_________.
A:cancer diseases
B:allergic conditions
C:thyroid problems
D:lung and stomach troubles答案：A解析：第一段第三、四行列出了包括A、B、C三个选项在内的各种症状（还包括fast heart-beat)，但没有D项（低血压）。
第二段第一句说到“more than two million" , C项的above与more than同义。
第二段第二句说“女人患惊恐性障碍的可能性是男人的两倍”。twice as much as与 twice more than均表示前者是后者的两倍。
第三段第二句提到马里兰州的切萨皮克海湾大桥吓坏开车的人是出了名的，其他地方 没有提到。应该注意的是，本题所问的是most likely（很可能），并不是the most likely（最可 能），因此并不涉及对四个选项所列场所进行比较的问题。
第四段倒数第三句罗列了包括B、C、D三项在内的各个病种，但没有A项的“癌症”。 -

15 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder prevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social and romantic lives,a new survey finds.
The disorder leaves many isolated,ashamed and often misdiagnosed.Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help,the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports.
“Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense,persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situations,”Jerilyn Ross,the association's president and CEO,said during a teleconference Wednesday.
“The condition causes people to avoid common,everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves,”Ross said.
Social anxiety disorder can interfere with daily routines and job performance,Ross noted.“It also makes it very difficult for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships,”she said.
People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and irrational,Rose noted.“But they feel powerless to do anything about it,”she said.
Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens,Dr. Mark H.Pollack,director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medi- cal School,said during the teleconference.
“This is a disorder that starts affecting people early on,”Pollack said.“The typical age of onset is early adolescence,age 12 or 13,and many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood.”
The disorder also has physical symptoms,including heart palpitations,feelings that their throat will close up,sweating,blushing,faintness,trembling and stammering,Ross said.
Among people with the disorder,75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do nor-mal activities.In addition,69 percent said they didn't want people to think they were crazy,and 58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition,Ross said.
However,when the condition is diagnosed and treated,many reported improvement in their lives.In fact,59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship.In addition,39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help,Ross noted.People with the disorder think that their fear is______.
A: justified
B:.beneficial
C:.beyond control
D: controllable答案：B解析：由第四段的“The condition causes people to … or humiliated or embarrassing them-selves”可知，他们惧怕别人的评价，害怕出丑。因此B项错误，选B。
由第四段的“The condition causes people to… or humiliated or embarrassing them-selves”可知，社交恐惧的人害怕别人的评论，这些都是无法控制的。故选B。
由第八段可知，一般多发于12,13岁，因此选D。
由倒数第三段可知，症状包括出汗、脸红、眩晕、和痉孪，不包括喉呢痛。因此选C。
根据最后一段的“In fact ,59 percent … to have a romantic relationship.“可知，59％的人发觉这个治疗有助于他们发展稳定的恋爱关系，而且十分有积极效应。故本题选D。 -

When Fear Takes Control of the Mind
A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long,but it may feel like forever. The
cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane.And it can
happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.A fast heart beat. Sweaty
hands.Difficulty in breathing. A light一headed feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But
these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder. The first appearance usually is between the ages of 18
and 25.In some cases it develop3 after a tragedy,like the death of a loved one,or some other difficult situation.
In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are af-
fected in any one-year period.The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is twice more like-
ly in women than men.And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.
Panic attacks can be dangerous一for example,if a person is driving at the time.The Chesapeake Bay
Bridge in the state of Maryland is so long and so high over the water,and it is famous for scaring motorists.
There is even a driver assistance program to help people get across.Some people who suffer a panic attack
develop a phobia,a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack.
But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or anti-depressant
medicines.Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack.There are
breathing methods,for example,that might help a person calm down.Panic disorder is included among what
mental health professionals call anxiety disorders.A study published last week reported a link between
anxiety disorders and several physical diseases.It says these include thyroid disease,lung and stomach prob-
lems,arthritis,migraine headaches and allergic conditions.Researchers at the University of Manitoba in
Canada say that in most cases the physical condition followed the anxiety disorder. However,they say,exactly
how the two are connected remains unknown.
The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than 4 ,000 adalts.The probability for American females to be affected by panic disorder is_________that for American males.
A:twice as much as
B:three times as much as
C:three times more than
D:one time more than答案：A解析：第一段第三、四行列出了包括A、B、C三个选项在内的各种症状（还包括fast heart-beat)，但没有D项（低血压）。
第二段第一句说到“more than two million" , C项的above与more than同义。
第二段第二句说“女人患惊恐性障碍的可能性是男人的两倍”。twice as much as与 twice more than均表示前者是后者的两倍。
第三段第二句提到马里兰州的切萨皮克海湾大桥吓坏开车的人是出了名的，其他地方 没有提到。应该注意的是，本题所问的是most likely（很可能），并不是the most likely（最可 能），因此并不涉及对四个选项所列场所进行比较的问题。
第四段倒数第三句罗列了包括B、C、D三项在内的各个病种，但没有A项的“癌症”。 -

Teaching Math,Teaching Anxiety
In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school,the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship be-tween what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is un-comfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades,it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up be-lieving that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult,teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for every-one. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings:anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math,that feeling can influ-
ence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year,and the researchers com-pared the scores.
The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out
which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt,for example, was probably anxious about math.
Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study
did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
“This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,”said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia.The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings______.
A: prove a strong link between female teachers'math anxiety and their female students' math achievements
B: show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than fe-male students
C: provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than females
D: discover a strong link between teachers'math anxiety and their students'math achievements答案：A解析：题干意为“依据第一段的内容来看，芝加哥大学的研究结果是什么？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语 result of the research , University of Chicago , girls , math skills,boys,female teachers' math skills,girl students' math skills作为定位线索，在第一段中寻找到相关句：In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, the psy-chologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising rela- tionship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills，then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math．第一段是一个独立成段句，该句意为“在最 近一项关于小学生学数学的研究中，芝加哥大学的心理学家Sian Beilock和Susan Levine发现，女教师的想法和女学生的学习之间有着惊人的联系：如果女教师对自己的数学能力感到焦虑，她的女学生很可能会认为男孩学数学比女孩学得更好”。由此可知女教师对自己数学能力的自信会影响女生时自己数学能力的信心，从而最终会影响到女生的数学能力，因此答案为D项“女教师对自己数学能力的自信与女生的数学能力相关”。
题干意为“第三段暗示了什么？”题干中没有任何细节信息词可以利用，因此只能利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语math teachers,math learners, subject,difficulty, dif-ficult subject,teachers' confidence, teaching math, students learning math，利用这些线索词在第三段中找到相关句：Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particular-ly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings: anxie-ty is uneasiness or worry．第三段第一句提到“如同学生会认为某些科目很难学那样，老师也会认为某些学科既难学也难教”。最后一句提到“这就是研究者所言的‘焦虑’：不自在或担心”。依据这两个句子可以推断出作者想要告诉读者，教师会因为数学这门学科难而对教授该课程产生焦虑，也就是不自信，因此答案为B项“像数学这样难学的科目可能会影响教师 对教授该学科的自信”。
题干意为“根据实验来看，当那些老师感到……时可能会对数学产生焦虑感”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语experiment , teachers , numbers of a sales re-ceipt作为定位线索，在第五段中找到相关句：The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the research-ers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the research-ers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt， for example,was probably anxious about math．定位线索词集中出现在第五段第二句和第三句中，因此重点关注这两个句子。这两个句子提到“然后研究者们对教师进行测试，试图找出哪些教师对数学感到焦虑，研究者们问教师们当遇到数学问题诸如阅读销售清单时的感受，如果一位教师一看到销售清单的数字就感到紧张，那么她可能会对数学存在焦虑”。由此可知选项C项“一看销售清单上的数字就感到紧张”是答案。saving the numbers意为“保存数字”,filling in the numbers意为“数字排序”,memorizing the numbers意为“数字记忆”。
题干意为“第六段告诉我们研究结果……”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语research findings,strong link,female teachers' math anxiety,female students' math achievements , math anxiety , strong evidence , math superstars , males , females作为定位线索，在第六段中找到相关句：Boys , on average , were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On aver-age,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math su- perstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety（与female teachers' math anxiety呼应）．定位线索词集中出现在第六段最后一句中，因此重点关注这个句子。该 句意为“在关于是否认为数学高手应该是男孩的测试中，有20个女孩认为男孩数学比女孩好，这20个女孩的老师都是女性，而且都对数学有焦虑感”。这说明女教师对数学的焦虑感会影响女学生对自己数学能力的信心。该句的前一句提到“一般来说，教女孩子的教师对数学有焦虑感，那么女孩子们在学年结束时测试得分会比其他的女孩要低”。结合这两个句子的意思可以得出这样的结论：女教师对数学的焦虑感会影响女学生对自己数学能力的信心，并最终影响女学生的数学成绩，因此该题答案为A项“证明在女教师对数学的焦虑感和女学生的数学成绩之间有密切的联系”。 -
第21题：
"SeasameStreet"has been called"the longest street in the world".
This is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts ofthe world.
The program,which went on the air in New York in 1969,uses songs,jokes,andpictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,letters and humanrelationships.More than 6 million children in the United States watch itregularly.The viewers(观众)include more than half the nation′s children before school age.
Manyteacher consider the program a great help,though some teachers find that problems happen when the first-year pupils who have learned from"SeasameStreet"are in the same class with those who have not watched the program.Tests have shown that children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who seldom watch it.In the United States the program is shown at differenthours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watchit regularly.
Why has"Seasame Street"been so much more successful than other children′sshows?Many reasons have been suggested.Perhaps one reason is that motherswatch"Seasame Street"along with their children.But the best reasonfor the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching itfeel able to learn.The child finds himself learning,and he wants to learnmore.
"Seasame Street"is a TV program produced mainly forA.children
B.children of school age
C.primary school teachers and pupils
D.mothers and their children答案：A解析：考情点拨:事实细节题

逐个选项看A，文中提到家长还是赞同孩子看教育频道的节目的，所以不能说成是强烈反对孩子看电视；B，文章第二段第四句提到即使是卡通节目中的打斗场景也会对孩子不利，所以B不对；D，文章提到家长很关心儿童节目的质量，所以D不对。从文中第二段 后半部分推测孩子会模仿自己看到的暴力镜头。故选C。
