As we have seen,the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,such as poor eating habits,smoking,and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious（有营养的）foods , who feels OK but exercises only occasionally , who goes to work every day , but is not an outstanding worker,who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts,but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called "well".In recent years,however,some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "weilness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body's condition.Most importantly,perhaps,people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.Even people who have a physical disease or handicap（缺陷）may be "well" ,in this new sense,if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations."Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of weilness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.We can learn from the passage that today medical care focuses on__________.
A:curing disease and keeping people in healthy physical conditions
B:monitoring patients' body functions
C:removing peoples' bad living habits
D:ensuring peoples' psychological well-being答案：C解析：细节题。根据第一段第一句“…the focus of medical care in our society has been-shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors...”可知，今天医疗保健的焦点已经从疾病治疗转移到疾病预防上来，尤其体现在改变我们不健康的行为上。因此，选项C“改变人们不良的生活习惯”与文章相符。
主旨题。由第一段倒数三句“This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.”可知，这个人虽然有一些不良习惯和不适的症状，但是没有患病，甚至也没有患病的风险，然而，我们可以想象这个人本来可以更健康。由此可知，选项A“健康不仅仅是没有病”符合文意。
推断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely'not ill'and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called 'well'.”可知，传统上，医学界把没病的人和十分健康的人都称作“身体良好的人”。因此，选项D“没病就是身体良好”符合文意。
细节题。根据第二段的倒数第三句“'Weilness' may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal than people can strive for.”可知，“健康”并不是我们可能获得的一种健康的状态，而是一种我们要努力争取的理念。因此选项B 符合题意。
主旨题。文章第一段提出医疗保健的焦点由疾病治疗转到疾病预防；第二段首先阐述了传统医疗保健观点和现在医疗保健观点对健康的定义，之后依据现在医疗保健观点给健康作出了更积极的定义，可见选项C符合题意。选项A"旨在批判医疗保健的传统观点”是对原文的曲解，原文只是提出新的观点，并没有批驳传统的医疗保健；选项B"旨在对比传统和现在医疗保健观、点的不同”不是本文的写作目的，比较的目的在于强调现在的医疗观；选项D"旨在告诉我们医疗保健的重要性”文中并未提及。 -

第3题：
资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
Which of the following is NOT true?A.People differ from each in appearance
B.Different people may have different personalities
C.People can learn to recognize faces
D.People can describe all the features of others答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】NOT true
【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.（脸就像指纹一样独一无二。）；Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容）；Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.（可能即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来。）；第二段When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区分他人。）
【解析】第3题问“以下哪一项不是正确选项？”。A选项“人们的外貌都有不同”，该选项和第一段第一句话“脸就像指纹一样独一无二”内容一致；B选项“不同的人可能有不同的个性”，和文章第二段第二句话一致。C选项“人们能学会识别人脸”，和第一段第四句话“然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容”内容一致。D选项“人们能把别人的所有特点描述出来”，和文章第一段第三句内容相反，原文说“即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来”，说明没有人能说出所有特点，所以D选项为错误选项。 -

The Science of Persuasion
If leadership consists of getting things done through others,then persuasion is one of the leader's essential tools.Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp,available only to the charismatic（有魅力的）and the eloquent. Over the past several decades , though , experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede,comply,or change.Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.
The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not.Wise managers,then,ask peers to help make their cases.
Second,people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them,as well.So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise.
Third,experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat
them.It's a sound policy to do a favor before seeking one.Fourth,individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly.The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth,studies show that people really do defer to（服从）experts.So before they attempt to exert influence,executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident. Finally,people want more of a commodity when it's scarce;it follows,then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.Managers do not employ those who are quite different from them.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：答题依据在第一段的二、三句。用though转折，表明实验证明的与行政主管的看法不同。
答题依据在第二段的第三句。
文章并未提及管理者不雇用与他们不同的人。
文章第二段提到“值得花时间去发现真正的共同点并给予真挚的赞誉”。因此此句说“管理者没有必要去发现员工的优点”是错误的。
第三段第一句提到“confirm the intuitive truth"，并不是“contrary to our expectation"，因此这句话错误。
文章没有讨论英明的管理者和愚蠢的管理者。
答题依据在文章最后一句。独家信息要比人人皆知的信息更有说服力。 -

单选题请阅读 Passage 2，完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2 The common cold is the world's most widespread illness， which is plague that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not， They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact， directly or indirectly， with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds， it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches， cold and wet，showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp， naked and starving， were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England， volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths， they put on bathing suits， allowed themselves to be with cold water， and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If， then， cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds， why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research， no one has yet found the answer， One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times， and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin， but all they do is relieve the symptoms.Which of the following does not agree with the passage?AThe Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
BColds are not caused by cold.
CPeople suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
DA person rnay catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.

As we have seen,the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,such as poor eating habits,smoking,and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious（有营养的）foods , who feels OK but exercises only occasionally , who goes to work every day , but is not an outstanding worker,who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts,but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called "well".In recent years,however,some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "weilness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body's condition.Most importantly,perhaps,people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.Even people who have a physical disease or handicap（缺陷）may be "well" ,in this new sense,if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations."Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of weilness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.According to the second paragraph about the traditional care,which statement is true?
A:if the person does not have' any unhealthy living habits,he is considered "well".
B:If the person does not have any psychological disease,he is considererd "well".
C:If the person could be able to handle his daily routines,he is considererd "well".
D:If the nerson could be free from any kind of disease.he is considererd "well".答案：D解析：细节题。根据第一段第一句“…the focus of medical care in our society has been-shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors...”可知，今天医疗保健的焦点已经从疾病治疗转移到疾病预防上来，尤其体现在改变我们不健康的行为上。因此，选项C“改变人们不良的生活习惯”与文章相符。
主旨题。由第一段倒数三句“This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.”可知，这个人虽然有一些不良习惯和不适的症状，但是没有患病，甚至也没有患病的风险，然而，我们可以想象这个人本来可以更健康。由此可知，选项A“健康不仅仅是没有病”符合文意。
推断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely'not ill'and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called 'well'.”可知，传统上，医学界把没病的人和十分健康的人都称作“身体良好的人”。因此，选项D“没病就是身体良好”符合文意。
细节题。根据第二段的倒数第三句“'Weilness' may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal than people can strive for.”可知，“健康”并不是我们可能获得的一种健康的状态，而是一种我们要努力争取的理念。因此选项B 符合题意。
主旨题。文章第一段提出医疗保健的焦点由疾病治疗转到疾病预防；第二段首先阐述了传统医疗保健观点和现在医疗保健观点对健康的定义，之后依据现在医疗保健观点给健康作出了更积极的定义，可见选项C符合题意。选项A"旨在批判医疗保健的传统观点”是对原文的曲解，原文只是提出新的观点，并没有批驳传统的医疗保健；选项B"旨在对比传统和现在医疗保健观、点的不同”不是本文的写作目的，比较的目的在于强调现在的医疗观；选项D"旨在告诉我们医疗保健的重要性”文中并未提及。 -

When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（我们也可以通过举止来区分不同的人。当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区别与他人。）；最后一段But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.（但我们能轻松地区别好人和坏人，因为这两种人在外貌和行为上都有不同之处。）
【解析】第1题问“这篇文章的主要内容是什么？”。首先，第一段指出外貌是区分个体和其他之间差异的重要指标，而这种识别面容的能力在小孩子，甚至是动物身上都能找到。而在第二段，文章提到除了外貌，还可以通过个性举止来识别一个人。此外，在文章结尾，作者提到了区别好人坏人的方法，既可以通过观察外貌，也可以通过行为来判断此人是好是坏。所以C选项“如何从内在和外在来区分一个人”，把原文内容进行总结归纳，应为正确答案。A选项“如何描述人们的个性”，该选项只在第三段最后一句有提及“But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate（体贴的）, friendly, warm, and so forth.”局部信息不能作为全文主旨；B选项“如何区分人脸”，文中并未提及，故排除；D选项“如何区分好人坏人”，该选项只在文章最后一句提及，全文并未多处涉及。 -
第16题：
资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
The author is most probably a_______A.psychologist
B.behaviorist
C.writer
D.sociologist答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节推理。
【关键词】author
【主题句】第一段Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people?（你是否对我们如何识别人而感到疑惑？）；第二段We also tell people apart by how they behave.（我们也能通过人们的举止来区分。）第三段Like the human face, human personality is very complex.（就像人脸一样，人类的个性非常复杂。）第四段Gordon all ports, an American psychologist…（Gordon all ports是一位美国的心理学家。）
【解析】第2题问“作者最有可能从事什么职业？”。根据整篇文章内容，该文讲述了区分不同人的方法：外貌和行为个性。四个选项哪个选项是研究人类行为的呢？A选项“心理学家”，他是研究人类行为的专家，心理学家关心人们为什么那样思想，那样行动。所以A为正确答案。B选项“行为主义者”，他们的主要观点是认为心理学不应该研究意识，只应该研究行为，把行为与意识完全对立起来。B选项过于片面，所以排除；C选项“作家”，该选项过于笼统，应该选择带有某一专业背景的人物，故排除；D选项“社会学家”，他们是观察和分析社会的方式，和原文不符，排除。此外，文章第四段举例处提到一位美国的心理学家，所以该文作者也应该是研究该领域的一位学者。 -
