38、 time without change or challenge can (20) to boredom and physical and mental strain.（分数：20.00）A.disputedB.acuteC.tricky D.deliberative解析：考点 考查形容词词义辨析。此处意为“他们赞同任何重大变化都会给人带来压力这个_观点”，空格处的形容词修饰名词“观点”。四个选项中 disputed 意为“受争论的”，acute 意为“激烈的；敏锐的”，tricky 意为“难处理的，需要技巧的”，deliberative 意为“慎重的；审议的”，B、D 在意思上显然不正确，
39、比较具有迷惑性的是 A 项，但是应注意 disputed 与 controversial 是有不同的，只有 tricky 用于此处较为合适，故选 C。A.IndifferentB.Negative C.PositiveD.Medicate解析：考点 考查形容词词义辨析。空格处需要填入一个形容词，来修饰“家庭成员得了重病”这样的事件，四个选项中 indifferent 意为“冷淡的，不积极的”，只用于指人；negative 意为“反面的，消极的”；positive 意为“正面的，积极的”；medicate 是动词，意为“用药医治”，比较可知只有 B 项：negative 符合句意。A.onto
40、the listB.at the listC.in the listD.on the list 解析：考点 考查固定搭配。此处需要判断的是 were high_the list 需要哪个介词，文中意思为“高居于名单前列”，“在名单上”一般要用介词 on，故选 D。A.take B.makeC.doD.manage解析：考点 考查固定搭配。文中要表达的意思是“做 Holmes-Rahe 测试”，表达“做测试”时一般用动词词组 take atest，故选 A。A.affectB.reflect C.meditateD.afflict解析：考点 考查动词词义辨析。宾语从句意为“分数并不_你如何应对压
41、力它只能显示你需要应对的压力有多少”。四个选项中affect 意为“影响”，reflect 意为“反映，表现”，meditate 意为“考虑，沉思”，afflict 意为“使痛苦，折磨”，因此只有 reflect 符合句意，故选 B。A.regulateB.describeC.handle D.deal解析：考点 考查动词词义辨析。该句意为“我们现在知道你_这些事件的方法会在很大程度上影响你保持健康的_”，可以推断出空格处应填入一个有“处理”含义的词。四个选项中 regulate 意为“管理，控制”，describe 意为“描写，记述”，handle 意为“处理，操作”，deal 作“处理，对
42、付”讲时为不及物动词，不能直接接宾语，后面要加介词 with 或 in，可见只有 C 项 Irondale 符合句意。A.abilitiesB.chances C.conditionsD.minds解析：考点 考查名词词义辨析。根据上题中出现的句意可知作者要表达的是“保持健康的可能性”，四个选项中 ability 意为“能力”，chance 意为“机会，可能性”，condition 意为“条件”，mind 意为“智力”，只有 chance 符合句意，故选 B。这里并不是指“保持健康的能力”，所以 A 项应该排除。A.followed B.tracedC.obeyedD.trailed解析：考点
43、 考查动词词义辨析。该句的时间状语为“到了 20 世纪 70 年代”，句子时态是过去完成时，考查的是“成百上千的类似研究”与“Holmes and Rahe”之间的关系，这两位科学家的研究始于 20 世纪 60 年代，因此我们可以知道在其后的研究都是其“追随者”，四个选项中只有 follow 意为“跟随，追随”，符合句意，另外三项 trace意为“追踪”，obey 意为“服从”，trail 意为“跟踪，追踪”皆可排除，故选 A。A.beneathB.withC.belowD.under 解析：考点 考查固定搭配。该句意为“几百万在压力下工作和生活的美国人都因研究报告而担忧”，表达“在压力下”一
44、般用介宾短语 under pressure/stress，故选 D。A.shock downB.boiled down C.drunk downD.start down解析：考点 考查词组词义辨析。空格处填入的动词需要搭配介词 down 构成一个有意义的短语并且使句意通顺。shock 不能与 down 构成短语；boil down 意为“归根结底是，浓缩成”；drink down 意为“借酒消愁”；start 也不能与 Ndown 构成词组，文中此处意为“不知怎的，这项研究终究归结为一个难忘的讯息”，四个选项中只有 boil down符合句意，故选 B。A.linesB.headsC.head
45、lines D.words解析：考点 考查名词词义辨析。该句意为“妇女杂志中写有压力导致疾病这样的_”，由此可知空格处应填有“标题”含义的词，四个选项中只有 headline“大字标题”符合，其他三个选项 line 意为“行”，head 意为“头”，word意为“字，词”，都不合句意，故选 C。A.simplistic B.complicatedC.sillyD.dull解析：考点 考查形容词词义辨析。四个选项中 simplistic 意为“被过分简单化的”，complicated 意为“复杂的”，silly 意为“愚蠢的”，dull 意为“无趣的”。上一段的末句说的是“如果你想要保持身心健康
46、，那么杂志中的这篇文章告诉你：应该避免那些使你压力很大的事件”。空格所在句的意思是顺接上句话的，其意为“但是这种过于简单化的建议是不能听从的”，只有 simplistic 符合句意，故选 A。A.stillB.soC.althoughD.if 解析：考点 考查固定搭配。even if 意为“即使”，文中要表达的意思是“即使那些使人有压力的事件很危险，许多这样的事是难以_的。其他三个选项都不能与 even 搭配使用，故选 D。A.escapeB.avoid C.faceD.confront解析：考点 考查动词词义辨析。根据上下文意我们可以知道，这句话所要表达的是“很多这样(使人有压力)的事件像爱
47、人的离世都是不能避免的”。在四个选项中，escalpe 和 avoid 都意为“逃避，避免”，face 和 confront 都意为“面临”，其中 avoid 强调有意识地躲避不愉快的或可能发生危险的事物或情况，更符合句意，故选 B。A.trouble B.dangerC.worriesD.discomfort解析：考点 考查动词词义辨析。该句意为“任何避免压力事件的警告在避免了所有的_的同时也令人失去了所有的机会”，可见空格处应该填入的是这种警告的第一个功能，那就是规避一些麻烦或者不好的东西，四个选项中 trouble 意为“麻烦，问题”，符合题意；danger 意为“危险”，worry 意
48、为“烦恼，忧虑”，discomfort 意为“不舒适，不方便”，皆不如 trouble 适合，故答案选 A。A.discharge ofB.release outC.free of D.liberate of解析：考点 考查语法结构。该句意为“由于任何变化都会使人感到有压力，因此一个想要完全_压力的人将永远不会结婚、生子、换工作或是搬家。”空格前为副词 completely，因此可以推测出空格处应填人一个形容词性质的词或短语，且根据句意来看，可能表示“没有”等含义的四个选项中只有 free of“无的”为形容词，且含义贴切，故选 C。其他三个选项都为动词。A.ignoreB.ignores C
49、.ignoredD.is ignoring解析：考点 考查动语法结构在本句中 The notion 是主语，空格中需要填入的词是谓语，四个选项的区别在于时态不同。that all stress makes you sick 这一定语从句修饰主语，根据定语中的时态可知，该句采用的是一般现在时，且由于主语是单数，所以谓语应为第三人称单数，所以应该选 B。A.gentleB.docileC.passive D.yielding解析：考点 考查形容词词义辨析句中的 adversity 意为“不幸；逆境”，整个句子的意思是“这一概念所设想的是我们所有人在逆境面前都是脆弱而_的”。由 and 可知，空格处所填的词与 vulnerable 所表达的含义应该相差不远。四个选项中 gentle 意为“温和的，文雅的”，docile 意为“温顺的”，passive 意为“被动的”，yielding意为“柔顺的”，其中 passive 与 vulnerable 表意最为类似，故选 C。A.initiative B.self-motion
