2017届高考英语一轮复习阅读理解解析版汇编：35（含解析）

　　1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.

　　A. talk about health problems in America

　　B. introduce the topic of stress

　　C. emphasize the stress in America

　　D. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题。本文的内容是为了揭示世界上人们的工作压力非常大，对健康造成了威胁，因此作者在开头使用“America’s No.1 Health Problem”是为了引入压力的话题，故答案为B。

　　2. From the passage we can learn that

　　A. both cancer and AIDS are not as serious as the threat of stress to health

　　B. stress is mainly from working and living pressure

　　C. Americans never care about international conflict and terrorism

　　D. people in mainland Europe are more optimistic than English people

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).” 可知，工作和家庭生活中的压力比重最大，故B选项正确，C选项错误。

　　由第一段 “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS.”可知，癌症和艾滋病没有压力带给健康的威胁那么严重的情况是在美国，不具有普遍性，故A选项错误。第三段揭示了英国人的工作压力非常大，第四段的首句理解是关键 “The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe.” 意为“欧洲大陆的情况依旧不容乐观”，故D选项错误。
