9.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 life,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 (經得起) 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 sight of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically.In fact we make a 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,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.

分析 本文主要講述了隨著生活節(jié)奏的不斷加快,我們承受的壓力越來越大.壓力是日常生活中無法避免的一部分,一個人能承受的壓力很大程度上取決于個人.當人們不斷地暴露在壓力中,健康就會受到威脅.現(xiàn)在很多嚴重的疾病都與壓力有關,既然在生活中我們無法擺脫壓力,我們就需要找到辦法來對付它.
解答 31.A 細節(jié)推理題.由第一段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 life,being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.可知無法放松自己主要是比以前任何時候都要忙碌.故選A.
32.D 細節(jié)推理題.由第三段Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.可知當好管理者的優(yōu)良品質是不怕壓力.故選D.
33.B 細節(jié)判斷題.由第三段The amount of stress a person can withstand (經得起) depends very much on the individual.可知一個人能承受的壓力很大程度上取決于個人,由此可得不同的人能夠承受不同的壓力.故選B.
34.C 細節(jié)理解題.由第三段When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically.可知當暴露在壓力下時,不論任何形式的壓力,我們的身體都會做出化學和物理上的反應.由it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long,可知"such a reaction"指代上面的"化學和物理上的反應".故選C.
35.D 猜測詞意題.由最后一段Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could),可知括號里的內容是對前文的解釋.故選D.
