文章主要描述了一个遭受心理障碍困扰的女人。在过去几个月,这位妇女一直受到有关她孩子安全的困扰。她经常发现自己总是在想象发生一系列的严重事故。一次,她对儿子的安全产生怀疑,直到打电话到学校证实儿子安然无恙。在购物时,她每从货架上拿一件物品,便想着自己的一个孩子因此遭殃。她抽烟,喝咖啡,都要连抽4撰和连喝4杯。如果做不到.就会很忧虑。这些都说明她由于过分关心孩子,受到了严重的精神困扰。
答案及解析
1.A
【命题目的】本题考查考生归纳中心思想的能力。
【解题要点】文章第一段前五句说“在过去几个月,这位妇女一直受到有关她孩子安全的困扰。她经常发现自己总是在想象发生一系列的严重事故。一次,她对儿子的安全产生怀疑,打电话到学校证实儿子安然无恙”。这些足以证明这个妇女深受心理障碍之苦。
2.C
【命题目的】本题考查细节和推理能力。
【解题要点】本题可用排除法,A项“她的孩子安好无恙”,B项“她的工作和数字无太大关系”,D项“她戒烟,且不喝咖啡”,这些都只触及她心理障碍的表象,不可能治愈她的心理疾病。对于一个遭受心理
障碍困扰的女人,应该“看心理医生”。
3.C
【命题目的】本题考查结合上下文猜测词义。
【解题要点】preoccupation意为“关注”。the first impression意为“第一印象”。即使不知道词义,通过上下文也应推测出这里作者想说, “她对数字的过分关注损坏了日常生活能力”,能达到影响日常生活能力的一定是产生负面影响的活动,只有C项表示出“过分”的含义,所以猜测是该选项。
4.D
【命题目的】本题考查对信息的捕捉和推理能力。
【解题要点】A项是事实,文中倒数第三句有原文表示。文中倒数第六句提到了“这位妇女在抽烟时会感到紧张,要连抽4根烟,因为害怕如果少抽几根,会给她的孩子带来灾难”,从原文可推测,这是因为她将自己抽的每一根烟看成自己孩子的安全的象征,漏了哪一个,就都会给哪个孩子带来灾难,这问接说明她有4个孩子,故B项也属实。根据倒数第五句“她喝了一杯咖啡,那她就一定要连喝到4杯咖啡”,C项符合原文意思。D项说她有4个儿子,文中只说她有4个孩子,不一定都是儿子。
5.D
【命题目的】本题考查推理判断。
【解题要点】文章主要想描述一个受心理疾病困扰的女人,那么作者引用例子的目的是与此相关的选项。A项和C项是妇女所抱有的错误想法,而非作者的引用目的。B项“解释凯伦不能做日常事情的原因”与中心无关。“买东西”的例子说明妇女心里困扰已经到了影响日常生活的地步,与D项相符。
