“America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated(估计)that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”
It is no exaggeration(夸张)to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”
However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”
The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey revealed that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”
What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”
1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.
A. talk about health problems in America B. introduce the topic of stress C. emphasize the stress in America
D. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress
答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题。本文的内容是为了揭示世界上人们的工作压力非常大，对健康造成了威胁，因此作者在开头使用“America’s No.1 Health Problem”是为了引入压力的话题，故答案为B。
2. From the passage we can learn that .
A. both cancer and AIDS are not as serious as the threat of stress to health
B. stress is mainly from working and living pressure
C. Americans never care about international conflict and terrorism D. people in mainland Europe are more optimistic than English people 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).” 可知，工作和家庭生活中的压力比重最大，故B选项正确，C选项错误。
由第一段 “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS.”可知，癌症和艾滋病没有压力带给健康的威胁那么严重的情况是在美国，不具有普遍性，故A选项错误。第三段揭示了英国人的工作压力非常大，第四段的首句理解是关键 “The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe.” 意为“欧洲大陆的情况依旧不容乐观”，故D选项错误。
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______. A. Asian people are more willing to develop their countries
B. the rapid economic development is the main reason for stress C. some people in Asian countries have health problems from employment stress
D. Asian countries have a better situation of stress than Europe 答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。最后一段揭示了亚洲的压力情况，由该段的最后一句话 “These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.” 可知，一些亚洲国家的工作压力也影响了人们的健康，故C选项正确，B选项错误，经济发展不是压力的主要原因，压力来自工作。A、D选项未提，均不选。 4. What’s the main subject of the passage? A. Stress attacking health. B. How to deal with stress.
C. A survey on working stress. D. Health problems around the world. 答案解析：答案为A。本题考查文章的主题。全文揭示了在美国，欧洲，亚洲人们的工作压力对健康造成了威胁，故答案为A。
B
The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans(老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a program at the Library of Congress dedicated to preserving the oral histories of American’s 19 million veterans. Local newspapers listed Beer’s number, and the response was tremendous. He’s videotaped 52 vets ever since.
“Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” says Beers, 33, an assistant engineer for the city of Poway, Calif. “They ask, ‘Why now?’ But it has to be now, before it’s too
late.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day. Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): “He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farm.”
The WW II generation comprises(包含) most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But, says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. “I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in Vietnam,” she says. “He said he shared things with me that he’s never told anyone.”
1. What do we know from the text about the veterans? A. They live a very happy life after the war. B. They often told their stories to others. C. They were highly respected by people.
D. They are becoming fewer and fewer in numbers.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由第二段最后一句话 “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.”可知，每天有1847位老兵死去，也就意味着老兵的数目越来越少，故D选项正确。
2. How did the veterans feel when they were interviewed?
A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第二段首句 “Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” 可知，老兵对于有人对他们的故事感兴趣感到非常吃惊，故答案为C。
3. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 1) refer to? A. Veterans wanted to talk. B. Jeff Beers was ready to listen.
C. The veterans had many stories. D. There were many phone messages. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为词义推断题。由第一段前面的内容 “The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen.”可知，“it”指代的是紧跟着它后面的内容“Veterans wanted to talk”，故答案为A。
4. What kind of stories is Jeff Beers most interested in? A. Historical records of World War II. B. Stories written by newspaper reporters. C. Stories most talked about by public.
D. Personal experiences of people during different wars.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): ‘He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farm.’”可知，Jeff Beers最感兴趣的是战争期间人们的个人经历，故答案为D。
