7、abs.第二部分: 第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)A My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers (老年痴呆症)last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed-my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gra
8、dually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience. My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimers patients. When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts i
9、mmediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people. I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someo
10、ne turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness(不得体). Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people a
11、t the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesnt offend(冒犯)anyone, but Ive stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant. I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didnt want to burden my two daughters with it. They
12、 are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mothers daughter. The most wonderful discovery Ive made through my mothers disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that Im feeling overwhelme
13、d(难以承受), but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative(主动地). They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that its all worth it.21Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AHow I Cared for My Sick Mother BHow I Became
14、 More TolerantCWhat I Have Learned from Alzheimers DWhy I Am Feeling Overwhelmed22Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer patients?ABeing curious about everything BBeing sensitive to others moodsCBeing afraid of strange people DBeing particular about clothes23We can infer that the wri
15、ters daughters are _.Anaughty Bselfish Ctraditional DconsiderateBPatients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing(治疗)power of humor. It is claimed that humor not only affects patients moods, but can actually help them recover faster.Several studies seem to support this. Patients in bette
16、r spirits are known to have a larger number of immune cells(免疫细胞). Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.Despite all this,many researchers are not convinced. They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disapp
17、ear naturally, with or without a daily dose of laughter. They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health, it is hard to tell which comes first.Humor in times of stress, however, clearly makes us feel better. On one level, it takes our minds off our troubles and
18、relaxes us. On another, it releases powerful endorphins, a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a persons health. It can show, for example, whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of t
19、he brain: the right frontal lobe(额叶).Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list. Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis(综合)of ideas. Subjects with specifically located b
20、rain damage,however,responded only to slapstick(闹剧)endings,which did not depend on a particular context.When pressed,the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings.They simply did not find them funny.Of course, humor is largely an individual matter. Next time your friend does not ge
21、t one of your jokes, there is no need to accuse him of being a lame-brain(脑残). However,you might suggest that he lighten up-for the health of it.24What does the underlined this in the second paragraph refer to?AThe fact that happy patients have more immune cells.BThe fact that patients and doctors b
22、elieve in humorous patients.CThe fact that humor helps improve patients moods and recovery.DThe fact that comedies and comics help cure patients of their diseases.25How does humor help reduce our stress?ABy providing us with optimism and courage.BBy helping reduce the number of immune cells.CBy maki
23、ng us laugh out loud to forget our troubles.DBy distracting(分散)our attention and releasing pain-reducing chemicals.26What can the experiment in the sixth paragraph confirm?AThe relationship between good jokes and peoples health.BThe connection between beginnings and endings.CThe relationship between
24、 complex ideas and brains.DThe connection between jokes and brain damage.27Which would be the best title for the passage?AHumor contributes to good health. BWhich comes first,humor or health?CPeople need humor in times of stress. DHumor can cure different illnesses.CIt has been around for centuries,
25、 but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasnt fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (刮痧), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US whos accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandsons diseas
26、e.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries a
27、nd regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese go
28、vernment on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous interna
29、tionally.However, all these achievements in TCM dont mean that its problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Wester
30、n medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.28The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .Aintroduce the film to readers Bshow TCM is increasingly popularCarouse readers interest in Western medicineDprove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries29We can learn from the passage that .ATCM is not exact in curing diseasesB10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMDTu Y
