Question

9．You know the saying"You're as young as you feel．"Well，there may be some truth to that，according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．
Ellen Langer，a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body，and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health．They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science．
In one study that Langer led，47 women had their hair done．The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers，who were shown before-and-after pictures．The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure．Another study involving 4，421 men found that those who became bald （禿頂）at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not．Similarly，another study involving 2，017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease．^"We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes，"the researchers wrote．
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early，which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women．Similarly，people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners，according to other studies．
Taken together，the research"supports the general mind-body hypothesis （假說）that when a younger mind is prepared，a younger body can accompany it．^"While the mechanism （機(jī)制）remains unclear，the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can"make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health．"

Answer 1

分析 文章講述了一個(gè)人的心態(tài)和自己的健康是有很大關(guān)系的，并通過一些實(shí)驗(yàn)論證心態(tài)的重要性．

解答 ACDDB
46．A 詞意猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)第二段colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person's perception of their age might influence their health．得知，他的同事們重新看了科學(xué)的證據(jù)，一個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為年齡會(huì)影響他們的健康，所以此處perception 指觀點(diǎn)，看法，故選A，view也有觀點(diǎn)看法的意思．
47．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．第三段主要是Langer做的實(shí)驗(yàn)過程，We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one's real age account for some of these health outcomes結(jié)果表明一個(gè)人認(rèn)為自己比實(shí)際年齡要大，往往會(huì)造成健康上的問題，故選C．
48．D 推理判斷題．在第三段最后people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners，according to other studies．和比自己年輕的人結(jié)婚會(huì)活的時(shí)間更久，所以答案為D．
49．D 主旨大意題．通過第一、二段a person's perception of their age might influence their health可知一個(gè)人的態(tài)度和健康有很大關(guān)系，緊接著在第三段給出了具體的實(shí)驗(yàn)過程并得出結(jié)論，所以答案為D．
50．B 推理判斷題．通過整片文章可以看出，主要講述心態(tài)和健康之間存在的某種關(guān)系，所以這樣的文章應(yīng)該是健康板塊的，故答案為B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是健康環(huán)保類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)
