本文是一篇議論文，作者圍繞“努力工作有益于身體健康”這一論點展開論述。體裁為純議論性的完形填空題是高考命題的一大趨勢，對考生來說，這類試題有一定的難度。解題時不僅要注意句子中的詞語搭配，更要從整體上把握文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，按照文章的行文邏輯進(jìn)行合理的推斷，如：第2、6、7、12、13、19題。
小題1:從文章的主題句Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.，可得出“職業(yè)婦女比家庭主婦更健康”的結(jié)論。A項為語法錯誤。
小題2:該選項與下文的the job-holders構(gòu)成對比，“沒有工作的人比有工作的人身體差”。
小題3:that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，從句中又有一個whenever引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句。句意為“研究表明當(dāng)失業(yè)率上升1%，死亡率相應(yīng)上升2%。”
小題4:該題句意為“所有這些歸結(jié)為一點。”come down to歸結(jié)為；equal to等于；add up to 合計為；amount to總共到；相當(dāng)于。
小題5:該句句意為“這是因為工作使人忙碌，使人們遠(yuǎn)離孤獨和寂寞�！眐eep sb. away from是固定搭配，意為“使……遠(yuǎn)離／避開……”。
小題6:從下文…and lonely when they have nothing to do進(jìn)行邏輯推理，可知“沒事做的人會感到不開心、焦慮和孤獨”。
小題7:從上文內(nèi)容可知，最快樂的人是那些大忙人。
小題8:該句句意為“工作充當(dāng)了人與現(xiàn)實生活聯(lián)系的橋梁”。
小題9:該句句意為“通過工作人們開始相互聯(lián)系／接觸”。
小題10:失去了工作就意味著失去了這一切。mean意味著。
小題11:從意義上分析，A、C項不符合上下文的邏輯關(guān)系；B項過于嚴(yán)重，失去工作還達(dá)不到“死亡”的程度。
小題12:從文章的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，上文講述的是工作給人們帶來的益處，下文還是講述這方面的內(nèi)容，屬遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，不是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題13:從意義上判斷，此題必須同前面的a sense of fulfillment（充實感）意義相類似，所以選B“成就感”。
小題14:從下文的his writing可判斷出答案。
小題15:根據(jù)醫(yī)生從事的工作性質(zhì)可斷定是“成功地為病人動手術(shù)”。
小題16:“學(xué)生成長”主要表現(xiàn)在知識、閱歷上的長進(jìn)。
小題17:beyond words無法用語言表達(dá)；in a word簡言之；without a word 二話沒說； at a word反應(yīng)迅速地，立即。
小題18:從語法結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，conclusion之后為同位語從句，that引導(dǎo)同位語從句時，不作成分但不能省略。
小題19:這是一個“the +比較級，the +比較級”句型，句意為“工作越多，人就會越高興、越健康”。
小題20:從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上判斷，此句有三個并列的謂語動詞；同時注意修飾動詞要用副詞不能用形容詞。

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation－for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of “temporary”) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co－workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
小題1:How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?     
A．Talk to friends.B．Just ignore it.
C．Go to see a doctor.D．Ask your teachers for guidance.
小題2:“It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ___________.
A．temporary lonelinessB．situational loneliness
C．a(chǎn) new placeD．sleeplessness
小題3:Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
A．Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B．Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness
C．Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
D．Chronic loneliness is incurable.
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Three kinds of lonelinessB．Loneliness and disease
C．Loneliness and social contactsD．Chronic loneliness

Drinking small amount of hard Japanese rice wine apparently never hurt 114-year-old Kamato Hongo.She is now the world’s oldest living person, according to Guinness World Records.
“Hongo inherited（繼承）the title Monday after the death of the previous record holder, Maud Farris-Luse ,of Coldwater , Mich.,”the record-keeping company said on its website.Farris-Luse was 115 years and 56 days old then.

Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(壽命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遺傳的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.    
小題1:What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to? 
A．gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B．The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C．The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D．Hereditary diseases and cancer
小題2: What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B．Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C．Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D．Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
小題3:In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A．Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B．Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C．Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D．Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
小題4:What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A．Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B．Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C．Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D．Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.                             
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.                                               
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.                                                              
66. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.                                                 
A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves                                       
B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health      C. they are travelling fast all the time                                                    
D. they are becoming busier with their work  
67. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.   
A. not fearing stress                                                B. knowing the art of relaxation         
C. high sense of responsibility                                  D. having control over performance   
68. Which of the following statements is true?  
A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. 
B. Stress is always harmful to people. 
C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.  
D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.  
69. In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______. 
A. "making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'"                                                         
B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"                                                     
C. "responding to crises quickly"
D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties" 
70. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.     
A. "expose ourselves to stress"                              
B. "find ways to deal with stress" 
C. "remove stress from our lives"                   
D. "established links between diseases and stress"

E
Some recent reports on the death penalty have brought some interesting responses from
readers all over the country. Although I really don’t like to make fun of people who oppose the
death penalty because they are so sincere, I wish they would come up with some new arguments to
replace the worn-out ones.
For example, many said something like this : “Wouldn’t it be better to keep the killers alive so
psychiatrists（精神科醫(yī)生）can study them in order to find out what makes them the way they are?”
It takes the average psychiatrist about five years to figure why a guy wants to stop for two drinks after work and won’t quit smoking. So how long do you think it will take him to determine why somebody with an IQ of 92 decided to murder the little old lady who lives next door? Besides, we have a huge number of killers in our prisons—more than enough to keep all the nation’s psychiatrists busy for the next 20 years.
Another standard is: “The purpose of the law should be to protect society, not to give cruel punishment, such as the death penalty.”
In that case ,we should tear down all the prisons and let all the criminals go because most people would consider a long period in prison to be cruel punishment--especially those who are locked up. Even 30 days in the Cook County Prison is no picnic.
And: “What gives society the right to take a life if an individual can’t?” The individuals who make up society give it that right. Societies perform many functions that individuals can’t. We can’t carry guns and shoot people, but we give that right to police.
Words can not explain the suffering the families of murder victim are left to live with. The families suffer a terrible loss, and they live with terrible memories. The knowledge that the killers are alive and will probably remain alive and cared for you by society is extremely painful. Probably, people who oppose the death penalty should try explaining to these people how cruel it is to kill someone.
72．What’s the writer’s attitude towards death penalty?
A．Death penalty is a must.
B．Death penalty doesn’t solve all the problems.
C．Death penalty should be practiced more carefully.
D．Death penalty should only be used on murderers.
73．How many arguments against death penalty are discussed in the passage?
A．Two  B．Three       C．Four  D．Five
74．What does the last sentence of the text suggest?
A．It’s cruel to use death penalty to kill someone.
B．Murder victims need more comfort from the society.
C．Opponents of death penalty should offer explanations.
D．Murderers should be put to death as the punishment.
75．The author develops the passage by         .
A．providing typical examples of death penalty
B．following the natural time order
C．presenting and analyzing ideas
D．comparing opinions from different fields
