江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（8）江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（8） A We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech―and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.” Cheep up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 1．The main idea of this article is .

Theories about what makes up of criminal behavior have varied widely. One traditional belief is that the criminal code stands for God’s law and is independent of the will of man. In contrast, there is the modern idea that the criminal law is simply the instrument by which the ruling class maintains its power. There is also a wide variety of explanations for the cause of crime. There is the theory that assumes that an individual choose criminal conduct of his own free will and is therefore responsible for his actions. Other theories describe the criminal more or less as a helpless individual in the grasp of biological, psychological, or social forces beyond his reason or control. Modern studies of crime often depend heavily on statistics（统计）. For example, burglaries are most associated with the poor areas of large cities. But one thing is clear; it is that criminal behavior is connected with a great numberof social, psychological, economic, political, legal, and moral factors. To search for the deciding factor of crime is a too simple action. 6．The author believes that the causes of criminal behavior are . A．primarily social B．simple and direct C．widely varied D．often religious 7．Laws which emphasize punishment for criminal behavior are based on the belief that . A．the criminal’s behavior is controlled by social factors. B．The criminal is responsible for his behavior. C．Crime is connected with poor urban areas. D．There are many causes of criminal behavior 8．The modern idea that the law is a means for the ruling class to maintain its power is essentially a . A．political theory B．psychological explanation C．moral theory D．biological explanation C CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers’ things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service work with passengers are not satisfied with. Oversales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe.

Thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last Monday between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations（ASEAN）， more and more tropical Southeast Asian fruit will enter the country. The agreement means that from July 1,2005, China and ASEANcountries will begin to cut tariffs. There are about 7,000 products included in the cuts. As global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. When products are sold across national borders, countries put a tax on them. This type of tax is called a tariff. Just like removing an obstacle from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between China and ASEAN countries. It means more products and lower prices. The agreement will bring real benefits for Chinese customers, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. “In the Beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to very, very, very expens ive. Now they will be cheaper.” The current tariff rate on durian is 22 per cent but will fall to zero in 2005. In the first 10 months of this year China did US＄84.6 billion of trade with ASEAN countries. Experts believe this may reach US＄100 billion next year. Founded in 1967, ASEAN now includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. 14．A tariff is money paid . A．when buying goods B．to sell or buy products of foreign brand names C．to sell or buy goods across the border of the country D．to go through the customs 15．Which of the following statements about the agreement is NOT true? A．It will result in an increase in trade between China and ASEAN countries. B．In might cause the prices of ASEAN products to fall. C．It may greatly benefit the Chinese customers. D．It won’t bring any benefits to producers of ASEAN countries. 16．We can infer from the story that . A．China lacks fruit B．tariffs are an important factor in foreign trade C．tropical countries have cheaper fruit D．China prefers to trade with ASEAN countries 17．The best title for this passage is . A．Tariff Cut Boosts Trade B．Best Ways To Sell Fruits C．Tropical FruitTo China D．China Joins ASEAN E A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the earth but in the sun; in fact, at the sun’s very center. It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat. This energy is liberated at the center of the sun as billions upon billions of nuclei hydrogen atoms clash with each other and fuse together to form nuclei of atoms. The output of light and heat of the sun requires that some 600 million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium （氦） in the sun every second. Thus the sun has been doing for several thousands of millions of years. The nuclear energy is released at the sun’s center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic（电磁的） radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelength. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the sun, to be remitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation in its turn, is absorbed and remitted. As the energy filters through the layers of solar inner, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum （光）, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the sun’s light and heat is given off in such direction that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the earth. 18．What does the passage mainly discuss? A．The production of solar light and heat. B．The physical and chemical nature of life. C．The conversion of hydrogen to helium. D．Radiation in the X-ray part of the spectrum. 19．The passage indicates that, in comparison to radio waves, gamma waves . A．produce louder sound B．are less magnetic C．do not form in the sun’s center D．are not so long 20．According to the passage, through which of thefollowing does the energy released in the sun pass before it becomes light? A．The X-ray part of the spectrum. B．Electromagnetic space. C．The solar surface. D．Interplanetary space.参考答案 AADBB CBACA DABCD BAADA。

2011高考江苏卷英语试题解读20XX年高考于昨天顺利落下帷幕，高考各科大餐也一一揭开面纱，此刻我们一起来审视解析一下这顿最后的晚宴，给准毕业生们划一个圆满的句号，同时也给即将步入20XX年高考的孩子们做一份参考。
20XX年江苏省高考英语试卷总体感觉，试卷的命题能很好地体现课改理念，难度较去年略有提高，无偏题、怪题，试卷整体的区分度较高，尤其是完型板块。
既注重对学生英语基础知识的考查，同时也注重对学生的英语素养和英语语言运用能力的考查。
是一份高质量的试卷，对高中英语教学有很好的导向作用。
今年的题目有这么几个亮点。
一、语言知识板块考察全面，题型设置丰富。
就语言知识板块运用来说，单选15道题目涉及到10个知识点，四篇传统型阅读涵盖了四大体裁，说明文，议论文，应用文以及记叙文一应俱全。
话题设计广泛，从热点时事，社会民生到传统价值观的回归都有涉及。
二、命题思路平稳过渡，出题方向调整成熟。
这一点在书面表达的出题中表现尤为明显。
对于“图画“作文的考察是近两年江苏各地高考模考的一个命题热点，从以往对命题式和提示类作文的考察方向转变为”漫画类“情景式作文的考察在今年总算”千呼万唤始出来“。
另外，命题的方向从以往的“关注孩子“到”关注父母“，这不能不说是一个比较大的突破，对于这群准青年而言有着比较大的教育意义。
单项选择I hear you _____ in a pub. What's it like?Well, it's very hard work and I'm always tired,but I don't mind.A are workingB will workC were workingD will be working解析：这道题考察时态。
时态题最重要的是要找：时间状语，如果题目没有给出时间状语，那么我们就要根据语义来合理地推测语境中的时态。
对话中，第二句说“这是一份困难的工作，而且我经常很累，但是我不介意”，整个语境都用的一般现在时，说明这是描述的目前的情况，所以选择A选项，用现在进行时描述现阶段长期重复的一个动作。

江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（11）AImagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ? Paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical (关键的) moment.A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they're studying ? from maths to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan (阿富汗) over one year ago."We could touch every side of the country through different sites ? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student."Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But, with all this technology, there's always the risk (危险) that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available (可用的) for these hi-tech students.1. What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the criticalmoment”, mean?A. Pens may not write well at the critical moment.B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.2. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?A. Pens.B. Computers.C. Information.D. Texts.3. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that _______.A. the Web could take them everywhereB. the Web taught them a lotC. the Web is a good tool for informationD. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information4. The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.A. studentsB. teachersC. treesD. computers5. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?A. Break into pieces.B. Stop working.C. Fall down.D. Lose control.BPsychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show t he most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark, “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued reward, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.6.According to the passage, which is true?A. All the researchers performance at work and school.B. All the researchers think that rewards often destroy creativity.C. Among the educators they think rewards can destroy creativity.D. Even the careful use of a small money is harmful to the creativity.7.What’s the meaning of “approval”? ________A. Praise.B. Happy.C. Blame.D. Feeling8.According to the passage, which is true?A. It doesn’t matter we give reward to the children according to their performances.B. A reward will help a child increase his creativity.C. In early grades, we can’t give children any rewards.D. It doesn’t matter whether we tighten grading standards at university.CLondon has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben (大笨钟), the Tower of London and the River Thames (泰晤士河).You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses. It has an open roof and let you off at the places you want to visit.Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames. From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.The River Thames is London's main waterway. It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river. Much of the riverbank can now be walked along, particularly the south bank.The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. It rises up nearly 100m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot. It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace (白金汉宫) is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal (皇家的) family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard?About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes —Windsor Castle (温莎城堡). This wonderful building is Europe's biggest castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again.Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start theday is to fill up on an English breakfast.For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread. Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea. You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England's many ales (淡色啤酒).The English also like to have afternoon tea. This is toast and jam, or cake and another pot of tea.Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea.Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.9．Which of the following is not suggested as one of the best ways to make sense of London?A. Taking a trip along the Thames.B. Subway.C. Tour buses.D. London Eye. 10．According to the story, which place may be London's most visited tourist spot?A. Buckingham Palace.B. The Tower of London.C. Big Ben.D. The River Thames.11．If you go to London in December, you will not be able to __________.A. tour the city along the River Thames.B. visit Windsor CastleC. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guardsD. tour the Buckingham Palace12．The word "starters" in the last paragraph but four (倒数第五段) means ________.A. the first course of the mealB. beginnerC. the first timeD. those who haven't had an English breakfastDWith the adven t of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.The main killers in North America, the degenerative diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death, not death, not life, in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health destroying food chains.Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various organs.This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.How the Chinese could patronize these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.These lessons in management and décor are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form.Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.13．A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, in particular it damages _________.A．the heart and brain B．the walls of arteries C．all organs D．the blood 14．The reasons Western fast food restaurants make money are __________.A．assembly lines that will not attract bugs or spoil easily B．clean and tastefully decoratedC．good service and an inviting dining atmosphere D．above of all 15．What will be worth learning from the Western fast food chains? _______ A．The content of the food. B．The menus.C．The lessons in management and decoration. D．Shape or form of the food. 16．In the passage, the author thinks _________A．Chinese should learn everything from Western fast food restaurants.B．Chinese should say no to Western fast food.C．Western fast food are good.D．Chinese food are bad.ESpecial trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (转基因的) trees.Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.The Pentagon (五角大楼，美国国防部所在地) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this is can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因组).However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment."It could be destructive," said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. "Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species."But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.17．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms can't hurt.B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.C. Trees that can resist wind better.D. Genetically engineered trees.18．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees. 19．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?A. Papaya.B. Pine.C. Apple.D. Poplar.20．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _______.A. these trees can destroy the balance of natureB. everything except trees has been genetically engineeredC. trees are home to many endangered speciesD. these trees may affect normal trees参考答案CBDCB CABBC DAADC BCBAD。

江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（12）江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（12） A Haikou: A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon. It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan. Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance When they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach. Police temporarily（暂时）protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection. Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection. The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo. It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal（内部的）bleeding. Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago. However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach. 1．A possible title of the article should be .

These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained.

C PocketTape-Recorders“Family and Home Magazine”test what’s on the market now. 1）Pearlcorder S702 $64 This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording.

Weight:240g. 2）Sony M9 $49.95 Small and very good looking, sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise.

Weight: 195g. 3）Sony M400 $115 Lots of little control buttons that make anoise and are difficult to use . Recording was good but machine noise lost points.

MC $29.95 Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise. Tape length: 30 minutes per side.

It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical（垂直）.We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands. Ourguide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river. Happily we came downhill along its bank without having to cut our way. However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no way round it. Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored goal, and cheerfully waving us on. 13．Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able to . A．track animals to the river B．put away the maps they had been using C．come near to the river from a different direction D．get down to the river without much difficulty. 14．The travelers wanted to get to the river because . A．it would lead them to the waterfall B．it would show them which way to go C．it was the only possible way out of the mountains D．it was a quicker way than going over the mountains 15．One reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that . A．it was too hot to move quickly B．there was no proper path C．they all tried to go different ways D．theycould not follow the animal tracks 16．To get past the waterfall the guide had to . A．use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge B．cross the river above the waterfall C．slide down a steep river bank D．swing across the river from a high branch E Anxiety is the appropriate（适当的）emotion when the immediate personal terror―of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self-disappears. The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified （不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety―for good times may end. If the world is going badly―it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’ t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease. It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right. People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all―and so complicate the ordinary course of life―or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents.People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads. 17．According to the author, anxiety is the emotion when . A．one is filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness B．one sees no immediate danger C．one has a vague sense about his life D．one feels that the world may go badly 18．The author holds that . A．anxiety is a good thing B．anxiety is a symptom of mental illness C．some anxiety can lead to changes for the better D．no anxiety is bad for society 19．According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by . A．all those who are too anxious B．all those who have anxiety C．those who have no anxiety D．those who are not anxious enough 20．The best title for the passage would be . A．One Man’s Thought about Anxiety B．The Right Amount of Anxiety C．Anxiety versus Safety D．Different Attitudes to Anxiety参考答案 CCDCB ADAAC DBDCB ABCDA。
