12、的正常孩子体现出的焦虑程度比50年前接收精神病治疗的孩子还要高。为何美国的孩子们如此焦虑呢？报告中引证了两个原因：因为较高的离婚率和较少的参加社会和其他事情而导致的与世隔绝；尚有对世界是一个愈加危险的环境的认知。尽管我们不能使时钟逆转，成年人还是能够为下一代做许多事情的。首先要培养孩子们愈加好地领会个人主义的不足。任何一个孩子都不是一座与世隔绝的孤岛。加强社会联系能协助他们更多地参加社交活动，使他们免受压力的困扰。协助孩子们与他人建立更多的联系。你能够毁掉电视和计算机，很快之后你的家庭会感激你的。他们能够有更多的时间建立一个面对面的关系并且睡得更香。限制你的孩子们接触到某些虚拟的暴力。不但录像
13、和电影中有暴力场面，孩子们也从本地的报纸上读到了大量有关谋杀和犯罪的消息。对你的孩子要有合理的期望。诸多功成名就的人士也从未上过哈佛或耶鲁。使锻炼成为你日常生活的一部分。这能够协助你很好地处理你的焦虑并且为你的孩子提供一个好的榜样。有时候焦虑是不可防止的，但它还不至于会毁了你的生活。21. 作者以为，有关人们精神状态的任何研究结论是 _。 A)令人吃惊的B)困惑的C)不合逻辑的D)质疑的22. 作者说“我们不能使时钟逆转”（第3段第1行）是什么意思？ A)不能减缓变化的速度。B)孩子们面正确社会现实状况是不能变化的。C)过去的教训不能遗忘。D)不也许忘掉过去。23. 依照分析，与今日正常的孩子
14、相比，50年前接收精神病治疗的孩子 _。 A)更少与世隔绝B)也许更少以自我为中心C)也许遭遇的焦虑更少D)被以为具备更少的个人主义24. 为协助孩子们，父母首要该做的是 _。 A)给孩子们提供一个愈加安全的环境B)减少对孩子们的期望C)让孩子们更多的参加社会D)为孩子们树立一个学习的好榜样25. 我们能够从文章中得出什么结论？A)焦虑，尽管不可防止，但能够被恰当处理。B)孩子们的焦虑被极度夸张了。C)假如有更多的父母关爱，孩子们的焦虑能够被消除。D)假如恰当的控制焦虑，能够协助孩子们变得成熟。【答案】2122232425DBCCA【注释】本文属于果因分析性的文章，即“提出问题分析问题处理问题
15、”型。中心议题是孩子的焦虑(anxious)问题，作者开篇以一个研究的成果导出中心：对比50年前，目前的孩子比此前更感到有压力和焦虑。第2自然段分析导致孩子感到焦虑的原因，第3自然段至第8自然段论述处理措施：父母应当怎样协助孩子减少压力和焦虑。【答案解析】21. (D)。本题考点出自第1自然段第1句。“Im usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that”其中，“skeptical”的意思是“怀疑的，有疑问的”，也就是“questionable有问题的”的意思。22.
