Question

【題目】Millions of Americans have lost their jobs because of the present recession (經(jīng)濟衰退). A new study shows that losing your job can bring some health problems. It is bad for your heart, your blood pressure and so on.

Earlier studies have shown that health has something to do with job loss. But it was not sure whether job loss made health poor, or poor health led to job loss. The new study tried to discover the answer to this.

Kate Strully worked on the study while she was at the Harvard School of Public Health. Ms Strully is now a scientist at the State University of New York. She had some information about the income (收入) of some people.

She asked people all over the country some questions about their health and work. Ms Strully checked the information about more than eight thousand people. She collected the information, and then looked at their health some time later. She found out that 80% of people didn't have health problems before they lost their jobs. But now they have a new health problem after losing their jobs.

【解析】

本文主要講述了失業(yè)和人們健康之間的關系，研究表明很多人失業(yè)之后會出現(xiàn)很多健康方面的問題。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。從文中“A new study shows that losing your job can bring some health problems.”可知新的研究表明失業(yè)可以帶來健康上的問題，故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。從文中“She asked people all over the country some questions about their health and work.”可知她問人們一些關于工作和健康的問題，故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“She found out that 80% of people didn't have health problems before they lost their jobs. But now they have a new health problem after losing their jobs.”可知80%的人在失業(yè)之前是沒有健康問題的，所以在10000中的80%是8000， 故選B。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)其所在語境“But it was not sure whether job loss made health poor, or poor health led to job loss.”可知和led to 對應的單詞是made, 這句話意思是不確定到底是失業(yè)導致生病，還是生病導致失去工作。所以，從句意推斷led to 是導致的意思，故選D。

【5】主旨判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章主要講的是失業(yè)和疾病的關系，故選D。

通讀全文，理解大意，認真閱讀題干，找出題干在文中所在的語句，仔細閱讀細節(jié)，判斷答案，例如第1小題，題干是 “According to the passage, a new study shows that”就要去文中找a new study 所在的語句，從文中“A new study shows that losing your job can bring some health problems.”可知新的研究表明失業(yè)可以帶來健康上的問題，故選B。
