2015届高考英语二轮专题训练:阅读理解(31)A 1Compared to people with bad attitudes,people are less likely to suffer from coldsIts possible that being positive helps the body fight il1nesses.2In a previous study,people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptomsPeople who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors,even when medical tests detected those symptoms3Those findings were interesting,but they didnt prove that a persons attitude affects whether he or she gets sickInstead,it was still possible that a persons underlying personality is what matters4Evidence suggests,for instance,that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic,with high self-esteem and a sense of control over lifeThis would mean that who we are,not how we feel,ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.5To figure out which mattered more,personality or emotions,the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adultsThe results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infectedTheir symptoms,however,differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight6Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus,for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy nosesOn the other hand,those symptomsstruck 41 percent of people who had been less positive7Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we areFor now,it cant hurt to look on the bright side more often than not !76Whats the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words)77Fill in the blank with proper words in first paragraph.(Please answer within 10 words)78Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?But,their symptoms were closely related to the emotions they had claimed to have in the last two weeks.79Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into proper Chinese80Suppose one of your friends had got infected with the H1N1 flu,give himher at leastthree pieces of advice(Please answer within 30 words) BModern inventions have speeded up peoples loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world. There was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. 68. The new products become more and more time-saving because . A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limited.
