（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

Almost everyone has experienced anxiety at some time in their lives，and to do so is not only probably quite sensible，too.In some sense，the feeling of anxiety is like a signal to us that we need to take action.If we are walking alone down a dark street and start to feel anxious，we might think，“This is getting frightening.I think I’ll nip into the pub and call a cab.” so we will do something to get ourselves somewhere safe.If we have an exam coming up，we are likely to start feeling anxious.We might think，“I can’t pretend it’s not happening.I’ve got to revise or I’ll totally mess up.”Once again，anxiety can guide us to behave in a way that is in our best interests.
However，anxiety can also imprison us.It stops us from doing what we would like to do and living our life fully.Feeling anxious is undoubtedly a fact of life，so our goal is not to live an anxiety­free life but to live our life with acceptable levels of anxiety in a full way.
Anxiety can be abnormal when it starts to take over our thinking processes and our lives，and makes it difficult for us to function.It is likely that people who experience extreme and upsetting levels of continual anxiety are suffering from a disorder called Generalised Anxiety Disorder(GAD)．The most important feature of GAD is that people experience quite severe anxiety and worry about a wide range of things over long periods of time.Other symptoms include finding it difficult to control the worry，getting easily tired，difficulty concentrating and sleep disturbance. People with GAD tend to worry about the same kinds of things as people without GAD—only they fall into worrying more easily and tend to spend more time worrying.Research suggests that our worry tends to cluster around particular themes including our health，finances，relationships，family，work and finally，worry about worrying.
Some worries are realistic(“real event” worries)．For example，if I worry about the size of my credit card bill，then this problem exists and my worry arises from a real problem.Some worries are about things that may never happen(“hypothetical event” worries)．Sometimes，real event worries spiral(螺旋形上升) into hypothetical event worries.For example，“My neighbors are noisy” could spiral into “I’ll never be able to sell the house.I’ll be stuck here for ever.”
Even though you may always have tended to worry，you can still learn to understand it and get on the top of it.Extreme worry is not a part of your personality，and it’s not something that you should accept as unavoidable.
1．According to the passage，a person with GAD may .
A．try to do something to get himself somewhere safe
B．focus his mind fully on what he is determined to do
C．be anxious about one special thing for a long time
D．be continuously worrying about some particular things
2．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．GAD can hardly be cured once one suffers from it
B．anxiety actually has both positive and negative sides
C．most people have experienced different levels of GAD
D．hypothetical event worries are mostly from real event worries
3．The difference between people with GAD and normal people lies in .
A．whether they feel worried
B．what they worry about
C．how they experience anxiety
D．why they get into anxiety
4．Which would be the proper title for the passage?
A．Anxiety：Learn to Understand It
B．GAD：Learn to Keep Away from It
C．How to Get Rid of Your Anxiety
D．How to Distinguish Anxiety from GAD
1．D [细节理解题。

根据文章第四段第一句“The most important feature of GAD is that people exp erience quite severe anxiety and worry about a wide range of things over long periods of time.”可知，GAD的一个重要特征就是人们长期对很多事情表现出焦虑和忧虑，D项符合原文。

]
2．B [推理判断题。

根据文章第一段第二句“In some sense，the feeling of anxiety is like a signal to us that we need to take action.”和最后一句“On ce again，anxiety can guide us to behave in a way that is in our best interests.”可知，焦虑可以指导我们采取对我们最有利的行为，这是它积极的(positive)方面。

根据第二段第一句“However，anxiety can also imprison us.”可知，焦虑同时也束缚着我们，说明它具有消极的(negative)方面。

故选B项。

]
3．C [细节理解题。

根据文章第一段第一句“Almost everyone has exp erienced anxiety at some time in their lives...”和第四段第一句“The most important feature of GAD is that people experience quite severe anxiety and worry about a wide range of things over long periods of time.”可知，正常的
人和患有广泛性焦虑症的人的不同在于焦虑度的不同，故选C项。

]
4．A [标题归纳题。

通读全文，文章一开始指出了焦虑是每个人都会体验的感受，接着细述了焦虑对人们生
活的积极和消极的影响，最后一段指出“Even though you may always have tended to worry，you can still
learn to understand it and get on the top of it.”可知，作者希望读者能了解焦虑，从而能够成功地
化解焦虑。

因此，全文主题是介绍焦虑、学会了解焦虑，故选A项。

高考英语冲刺阅读理解。

Sure, human dads can play catch and help with homework, but can they give birth? Daddy sea
horses can! This Father’s Day, while you’re showing respect to your dad, remember some of the
best dads in the world can also be found in the animal kingdom.
Sea Horses: The "Mr. Moms" of the marine world, male sea horses, carry up to 2,000 fertilized
eggs in pouches in their stomachs until they hatch. Even after the babies are born, they stay
inside the pouch until they are ready to venture out on their own.
Microhylid Frogs: Buy these dads a "Baby on Board" sign to put on their backs! These froggy
fathers from New Guinea play piggyback once their babies hatch from their eggs. One by one, the
dad lets as many as 24 froglets climb onto his back for a family road trip. He hops about 50 feet
each night, and one by one, his kids jump off along the way to begin new lives of their own.
Darwin's Rheas: Thought your dad was overprotective? Darwin's rhea, also known as South
American ostriches（鸵鸟）, are so protective of their children that they routinely rush cowboys
on horseback and have even been known to attack small airplanes on the ground if they get too
close to their brood!
Marmosets: These little monkeys do everything but Lamaze class（心理助产课）! Dedicated dads
assist during labor by biting off the umbilical cord（脐带）and cleaning up the afterbirth. They
also let Mom get some R&R（rest & recreation）by taking care of the kids when they're not nursing.
Sand Grouse: Talk about sponging off Dad! These pigeon-like birds live in areas where
water is sparse, so fathers fly as many as 50 miles to get water for their kids. After they soak
up the water in their breast feathers, they fly home and let their chicks suckle the moisture
from their bodies.
Fathers of the animal kingdom are not that different from our own beloved dads. This Father's
Day, when you are honoring your dad, honor animal dads, too, by practicing kindness and compassion
toward all animals.

About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.

The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he \felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?”His wife replied, “You don’t know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”
What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way , can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none
other that the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.
