Every creature needs someone who understands.B. No one but the little boy could relate to the poor puppy.C. There is always one who isn’t physically stronger than others.D. Those who share the same physical problem should stay together.CWhy is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensi tivity to these ―invaders ‖. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about.Researchers suggested failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer isn ’t to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.43. In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events_________. A. couldn’t deal with suffering effectively B. started to suffer psychological problemsC. were less likely to seek treatment for sicknessD. enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings44.

What does the underlined word ―invaders ‖ refer to? A. The white cells. B. Bacteria and viruses. C. Resistance to illness.D. The reaction and sensitivity of the cells. 46. What is the best title of the passage? A. Suffering and Health.B. Inner Thoughts and Feelings.C. Illness and HealthD. Mental Illness and Social Acceptance.DNo one can fail to stand in awed admiration of the great discoveries of history —Newton’s laws of motion, Kepler’s principles of planetary movement, Einstein’s general theory of relativity…. Equally awe-inspiring are artistic creations in painting, theatre, music and literature, which have also been brought about by discovery through personal efforts. What do these extraordinary achievements of well-known scientists and artists have to do with problem solving?A great scientific discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem-solving activity. The solution to a problem, we are told, often comes to thinkers in a flash of insight, although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time. As a particular form of problem solving, these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past, whether this is of the ―public‖ sort known to science, or of the ―private‖ sort known to the artist.Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this. Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society. The act of discovery, even in the relatively predictable sense that it occurs in everyday learning, involves a ―sudden insight‖ which changes the problem situation into a solution situation. As we have seen, everyday discovery also requires that the learners have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past, which is involved in the solution.47. Newton, Kepler and Einstein are mentioned in the first paragraph to _________. A. bring about the subject of the discussion B. explain that the scientists are more creative C. prove that arts require more personal efforts D. show the difference between science and arts48.

A. scientific experiments B. artistic tastesC. admiration of discoveriesD. sudden insight…密…………封…………线…………内……………………49. What does the underlined word ―this ‖ in the last paragraph refer to? A. Great contributions to the society. B. Long-time study of the subject matter. C. Complete devotion to artistic creation. D. Various statements about problem solving.50. We may conclude from the passage that _________.A. scientific discoveries or artistic creations are usually unpredictable in natureB. it is more likely to make scientific and artistic discoveries in everyday learningC. knowledge of the rules in the past is often developed in the changes of situationD. a sudden insight and knowledge from the past are required in making discoveries第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
