People who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didnt prove that a persons attitude affects whether he or she gets sick.Instead, it was still possible that a persons underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high selfesteem and a sense of control over life.This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults.The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks.At the end of the interviewing period, people got nose drops that contained either cold or flu viruses. Then，each person stayed in an isolated room for 5 or 6 days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected.Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand，those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less upbeat.【解题导语】最新研究表明性格开朗的人往往觉察不到感冒的存在。1What would be the best title for the passage?ASmiles Turn away ColdsBAn Interesting Way to Beat ColdsCBe Outgoing and Optimistic to Fight ColdsDWhat Matters More, Personality or Emotions?解析：选A。主旨大意题。本文是研究报道，第一段是文章的中心段，根据本段第一句内容可判断此项正确。B项过于笼统。2In the previous study, people who showed positive feelings_.Adidnt catch colds as oftenBdeveloped cold symptoms more slowlyCwere less likely to have cold symptoms detectedDwere less likely to feel cold symptoms解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句的前半句内容可知乐观的人更不容易感觉到感冒症状。本句的后半句是说医疗检查发现了感冒症状，由此可排除C项。3What mainly decides our chances of catching colds according to the new study?APersonality. BSelfesteem.CEmotions. DAttitudes.解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Their symptoms，however，differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.”可判断关键因素是人的“情感”。下文内容也有线索提示。4The underlined word “symptoms” probably means_.Asomething that causes coldBsomething that results in coldCsigns that something exists, especially something badDchanges in your body or mind that show that you are nothealthy解析：选D。猜测词义题。本段前半部分提到试验中把引起感冒的病毒注入试验对象的鼻孔，乐观的人很少有流鼻涕、咳嗽等感冒症状，甚至感觉不到异常变化，而本句中提到医疗检查的确发现了这些symptoms，由此可推断此处此词的含义是“症状”。前两项的意思基本相同，可排除；C项不贴切。B(2020;2020年广州广雅中学月考)Sixteen years ago，Eileen Doyles husband，an engineer，took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea，packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again.Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair.They had been a happy family and，as far as she knew，there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time，leaving their debts，their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year，more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from homethe highest in 15 years.Many did return home within a year，but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.To those left behind，this form of desertion is terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence.Even the finality of death might be preferable.At least it does not imply rejection or failure.Worse than that，people can be left with an unfinished marriage，not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive.“Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties.Running away，like killing yourself，is a highly aggressive act.By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty，upset and empty.”【解题导语】本文谈论了一小部分人为躲避债务，逃避现实，不辞而别甚至从此消失的现象以及由此引发的问题。5When her husband left home，Eileen Doyle_.Acould not forgive him for

influence解析：选D。主旨大意题。A项和C项的范围太广，B项偏离文章主旨，只有D项“遗弃及其带来的影响”符合文章主旨。9What can be inferred from the passage?AMany people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.BPaul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.CThose who are left behind will lose confidence and wont marry again.DEileens husband，together with his four kids，was probably killed in an
