7.Lisa is a good example of a student in shock.She is an attractive,intelligent twenty-year-old college junior at a state university.She was a straight.-A student in high school and a member of basketball and volleyball teams there.Now,only three years later,Lisa is miserable.She has changed her major four times and is forced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition.She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders and has no close friends.Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons.
What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year.As a result,about one-quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms(癥狀)of depression of that group,almost half will experience depression intense(強(qiáng)烈的)enough to call for professional help.But many reject tli at idea,because they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them.
There are three reasons why today's students are suffering more than in earlier generations.First is a weakening family support structure.Today,with high divorce rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties,the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support.Another problem is financial pressure.In the last decade tuition costs have skyrocketed-up about sixty-six-percent at public colleges and ninety percent at private schools.At the same time there has been a cutback in federal aid to students.College loans ate now much harder to obtain.Consequently,most students must work at their part time.
A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available.Because of the mu1titude(眾多)and difficulty of choosing a major,college can prove a time of great indecision.Many students switch majors.As a result,it is becoming common place to take five or six years to get a degree.It can be depressing for students to be faced with the added tuition costs.

分析 本文以Lisa為例講述了現(xiàn)代大學(xué)生由于家庭,經(jīng)濟(jì)以及學(xué)校社會(huì)等各方面的原因而感受到"沖擊"、"壓抑",從而導(dǎo)致了許多精神壓力.

解答 46.C;判斷推理題,全文以Lisa為例,講述現(xiàn)代大學(xué)生由于家庭及經(jīng)濟(jì)方面的原因而感受到"沖擊"、"壓抑"及"消沉"等.所以本題答案為C.
47.A;細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文中的 What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students 和suffer from symptoms(癥狀)of depression of that group可以判斷本題答案為A.
48.D;細(xì)節(jié)理解題,第一段詳細(xì)講述Lisa承受的壓力,不斷換專業(yè),沒(méi)有朋友,有時(shí)大聲哭叫,根據(jù)第二段最后一句But many reject tli at idea,because they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them可知D選項(xiàng)是正確的.
49.D;細(xì)節(jié)理解題,文章三,四段講到了現(xiàn)在的學(xué)生感到有壓力涉及到家庭,經(jīng)濟(jì)以及學(xué)校里選擇專業(yè)方面的原因,并沒(méi)提到 poor diets,故答案選D.
50.B;判斷推理題,作者用到了學(xué)生的"四分之一","幾乎一半",等統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字,詳細(xì)分析產(chǎn)生這種情況的原因,從文中不難看出B為作者的寫(xiě)作手法.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇閱讀理解著重考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力,學(xué)生應(yīng)把握文章大意,仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié),能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理推斷.聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解,再作出正確的判斷.

2.A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives.To test their skills in recognizing a suspect,he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.
"This is your suspect,how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers,"That's easy.We'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"
The policean says,"Well…Uh…that's because the picture shows his profile."Slightly  confused  by  this  ridiculous response,he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the
second blonde and asks her,"This is your suspect,how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles,flips her hair and says,"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because heonly has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds,"What's the matter with you two?Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!!Is that the best answer you can come up with?"

before giving me a stupid answer."
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says,"Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses(隱形眼鏡)."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the
suspect  wears contacts or not."Well,that's an interesting answer…wait here for a few minutes
while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that."He  leaves the room and goes to his office,checks the suspect's file in his computer,and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
"Wow!I can't believe it…it's TRUE!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses.Good
work!How were you able to make such an acute observation?"
"That's easy,"the blonde replied."He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."
