4、 your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports.

6、 stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.

10、es-Rahes medical research”。将该句话翻译成中文即“二十世纪六十年代,医学研究人员Thomas Holmes 和 Richard Rahe 经过研究制定出来了一个可以使人产生压力的事物的名目册”。考生可以想一下,题目问到他们的研究结果告诉了我们什么。通过该句的分析,我们当然可以理解为他们的结果刚好可以告诉我们什么样的事物会使得人们产生压力。综上所述,我们的答案选择为C。通过上面这个小例子,我们可以理解到在进行阅读理解作答时,考生一定要将题目中的信息关键词语找到,同时认真地到原文中去进行回归定位;尊重作者在和读者们讲解着什么;然后利用文章信息的意思去充分地作答正确的选项即

13、gine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the hi

Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer.
15、 The computer will then monitor all of the cars movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be f
