第2题：
根据下列文章，回答21～25题。
While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men, according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York''s Veteran''s Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affects the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries （the female reproductive organs） removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman''s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased opportunities for stress. It''s not necessarily that women don''t cope as well. It''s just that they have so much more to cope with, says Dr. Yehuda. Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men''s, she observes, It''s just that they''re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family numbers, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but wad determined to finish college. I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better. Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother. It''s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez''s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.

B.Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses.
C.Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs.
D.Alvarez paid practically everything by check.答案：B解析：第五段是一个具体实例，从语境来看，该段通过描述阿尔瓦雷兹承受各种家庭责任来说明女性承受着长期而严重的压力。从文中可以看出，作为一个单身母亲，阿尔瓦雷兹面临很大的生存压力，要付房租等日常开支，这与B项中所指的她的薪水几乎不能满足日常生活开销相吻合，故正确选项为B。A项侧重人物主观倾向，和文中承受生活压力这种客观无奈脱离，故排除。C项只是文章事实内容的介绍，并没有与主题联系，故排除；D项完全曲解了“paycheck”的意义，望文生义将paycheck拆成pay和check而编造的选项，所以排除。 -

B.have limited capacity for tolerating stress.
C.are more capable of avoiding stress.
D.are exposed to more stress.答案：D解析：首先根据题干内容找到文章中对应的内容，文章第三段第二句在提到关于Dr.Ychuda的研究中指出“这未必是因为女性不能调节压力，而只是因为她们承受的压力太多”。耶胡达医生还说，“女性忍受压力的能力甚至可能比男性更强，但只是由于她们应对的事情太多以至于疲劳得更快更明显。”从这写内容我们容易判断出答案为D。A项表意错误，第二段指出女性面对压力时产生的化学物质比男性多，这种化学物质使女性更易焦虑，而不是说女性需要更多的化学物质来缓解焦虑，故排除A项；第三段第三句提到女性容忍压力的能力或许比男性更好，排除B项 -
第8题：
Questions 7 1~75 refer to the following information.
Family caregivers of seniors should be cognizant of stress as it relates to their loved ones. Knowing the signs and detecting them early can help seniors learn to recognize stress factors and to take steps to alleviate the effects stress can cause. Activities such as yoga, walking and other physical exercises designed for seniors are great tension relievers. Many seniors enjoy the benefits of tai chi classes geared to their physical abilities. The Mayo Clinic supports this gentle form of martial arts as a way to relieve stress and help other health-related conditions.
Some seniors are unable to participate in physical activities, but there are other ways to reduce stress. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and getting a good night's sleep can keep stress at bay. Joining a non-physical group activities, such as a bridge club or volunteering, offers socialization and a chance to clear the mind of daily responsibilities. There are also local agencies that can help with tasks that might cause undue stress for seniors. Respite care organizations can help with housework or grocery shopping. Religious organizations often have groups who can assist seniors with yard work or other strenuous tasks around the home.
The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone. With help, seniors can combat stress and its negative effects. Spend time helping seniors determine what burdens they face. Help them plan ways suited to their lifestyles that are not only fun but that can minimize the pressures stress can cause. By doing so, the quality of life seniors experience can increase, further paving the way for them to lead independent lives within the comfort of their own homes.
What does the author say about stress?A. Stress can be avoided.
B. Stress only has negative effects.
C. Stress is the result of daily burden.
D. Stress is a component of life.答案：D解析：态度题。作者对压力的看法在文中最后一段第一句有提到，“The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone.”可知作者认为压力是生活的一部分，但也表明压力并不是只有消极作用，B 项错误，A、C 项过于绝对，所以D 选项为正确答案。 -

第10题：
资料：Stress is a common factor in life. Children experience stress from school, new social situations and simply growing up. Adults feel the stress of working, paying bills, raising kids and maintaining households. Seniors also feel stress, even though some may have retired, raised their children and paid off their homes. Certain amounts of stress are a part of life for people of all ages.
For seniors, stress has the potential to be especially overwhelming. This type of tension in older adults has unique contributing factors, such as the loss of an elderly spouse or friends. Living alone can increase the sense of isolation. Sometimes the simple tasks of everyday life can cause stress in those who experience physical or medical limitations. The effects of stress can sometimes exacerbate health conditions from which some seniors suffer, causing additional worry.
Stress can be detected in various ways. You may follow the five most common ways to find out if a loved one’s stress is cause for concern:
1. Changes in eating habits, such as over-eating or loss of appetite, can be caused by overwhelming stress.
2. Mood swings due to stress may present in increased irritability, general sadness or depression.
3. Memory issues may arise in the form of increased forgetfulness of names, places or other things that normally come naturally. Lack of concentration may become a problem. Some seniors may exercise poor judgment, such as excessive spending when they are already on a limited budget.
4. Physical signs of stress can include body aches and pains or increased episodes of illness. Changes in sleeping patterns—either trouble falling asleep or interrupted nighttime sleep—can signal significant stress.
5. Seniors experiencing overwhelming stress often isolate themselves from others, refusing to socialize or participate in activities they used to enjoy.
Which of the following is NOT true about stress according to the passage?A.Changing schools may cause children’s stress.
B.Seniors would feel stress of paying mortgage.
C.Grown-ups would get stress from raising kids.
D.Loss of a friend may be the source of stress for seniors.答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】NOT true about stress
【主题句】第1自然段Children experience stress from school, new social situations and simply growing up. 儿童感受到的压力来自学校、新的社会环境和成长本身。
Adults feel the stress of working, paying bills, raising kids and maintaining households.成人的压力来自工作、支付账单、抚养孩子和维系家庭。
第2自然段This type of tension in older adults has unique contributing factors, such as the loss of an elderly spouse or friends. 造成老年人压力的影响因素较为独特，比如失去年迈的配偶或朋友。
【解析】本题的问题是“根据文章，下列哪一项关于压力的说法不正确？”。A选项“转校可能给儿童带来压力”，B选项“老年人会对支付购房贷款感到压力”，C选项“成年人因抚养孩子而有压力”，D选项“失去老友可能是老年人压力的来源”。根据主题句1，选项A正确；根据主题句2，选项C正确；根据主题句3，选项D正确。根据文章，选项B内容不正确。 -

正确答案：BDr.Ychuda 的研究中指出，女性实际上或许更善于容忍压力，是因为面对的压力比男性要多得多，所以才容易在压力面前表现出焦虑。A项意思错误，文章含义是指其因为身体所具备的化学物质而更易焦虑。B选项错在文中第三段第三行所提的女性容忍压力的能力或许比男性要更好。

There are numerous physical effects of stress．Stress can affect the heart．It can increase the pulse rate,make the heart miss beats,and can cause high blood pressure．Stress can affect the respiratory system．It can lead to asthma．It can cause a person to breathe too fast,resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide．Stress can affect the stomach．It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food．These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress．People suffering from stress often feel anxious．They may have panic attacks．They may feel tired all the time．When people are under stress,they often overreact to little problems．For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice．Stress can make people angry,moody,or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses．Depression,an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness,can be the result of continued and increasing stress．Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress．Eating disorders,such as anorexia,are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress．If stress is allowed to continue,then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem．It attacks the body．So,reduce stress:stop the world and rest for a while.

第22题：
A.Strain of Stress：No Way Out？
B.Responses to Stress：Gender Difference
C.Stress Analysis：What Chemicals Say
D.Gender Inequality：Women Under Stress答案：D解析：在全文中，第一段引入了主题：女性更容易因为压力而受到负面影响。第二、三、四段分别探讨了造成这种现象的原因：女性在面临压力时分泌更多化学物质，女性承受的压力更多，且具有周期长、反复性的特点。最后两段论述了女性压力大的现状。贯穿在全文中的两个关键词为women和stress，D项包含了这两个关键词，并与主题保持了高度一致，为正确选项。A项太宽泛，没有抓住性别间差异的这个主题。C项只是文章中的一个具体知识点，过于片面。B项只是单纯指出了男女在压力面前的差异，但文章侧重讲述女性在压力面前的表现。故本题选D。参考译文：尽管在现代生活的某些方面女性仍在努力追赶男性的脚步，可惜在一个不太好的方面，女性却遥遥领先。据纽约退伍军人管理医院精神科主任医师耶胡达称：“与男性相比，在承受较大压力时，女性尤其容易患抑郁症或焦虑症。”对动物和人的研究结果都表明性激素会以某种方式影响压力，使雌性在承受压力时比处于同等条件下的雄性分泌更多能触发不良反应的化学物质。其中几项研究显示，如果将承受压力同样达到极限的雌鼠的卵巢(雌性生殖器官)切除，那么它们体内的化学反应会和雄鼠相同。女性因压力产生的化学物质增多，不仅如此，她们承受压力的“机会”也越来越多。耶胡达医生说：“这未必是因为女性不能调节压力，而只是因为她们承受的压力太多。”他还说：“女性承受压力的能力甚至可能比男性要强，但只是由于她们应对的事情太多，以致疲劳来得更快、更明显。”耶胡达医生还注意到了两性间的另一种差别。“我认为女性应对的事情通常具有长期性、反复性。男人参加战争，承受战斗压力，这更多的是身体上偶然的暴力。而女性遭受的却是多发生在家庭内部的暴力，不幸的是这种暴力来自父母或其他家庭成员，而且通常都不是一次性的。这些长期的人际关系产生的摩擦将造成很大的破坏力。”阿德琳·阿尔瓦雷兹18岁结婚并生有一子，但她却下决心要完成大学学业。“为了拿到大学文凭我拼命努力。我的生活极不如意，上学、取得进步、做得更好成为我摆脱现实困境的途径。”后来，她结束了婚姻，成为单身母亲。“照顾一个十来岁的孩子、找工作、交房租、付车款、还欠款，这是最辛苦的事情。为了生存，我必须不停地赚钱。”并不是每个人都像阿德林·阿尔瓦雷兹一样承受这种严重的长期压力。但现在的大多数女性都承担着许多责任，很少有放松的时候，容易身心俱疲。阿尔瓦雷兹的经历说明了在压力影响到你的健康和生活能力之前找到方法予以缓解是相当重要的。 -
