　　2015年湖北高考生正在努力備考中，湖北高考網整理了2015年湖北高考英語同步訓練題，希望對大家的復習有幫助。

　?、?六選五

　　根據(jù)短文內容，從下面的選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項。

　　A.Study the levels of stress by comparison.

　　B.Higher level of stress causes more trouble.

　　C.Milder stress does more harm than expected.

　　D.A certain level of stress is efficient in working conditions.

　　E.Always pay enough attention to mild stress.

　　F.Modern social conditions may lead to stress.

　　1.________

　　Even relatively mild stress can lead to long term disability and an inability to work, reveals a large population based study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology (流行病學) and Community Health.It is well known that mental health problems are associated with long term disability, but the impact of milder forms of psychological stress is likely to have been underestimated (低估), say the authors.

　　2.________

　　Between 2002 and 2007, the authors tracked the health of more than 17,000 working adults up to the age of 64, who had been randomly selected from the population in the Stockholm area. All participants completed a validated (經驗證的) questionnaire at the start of the study to measure their mental health and stress levels, as well as other aspects of health and well­being.

　　3.________

　　During the monitoring period, 649 people started receiving disability benefit—203 for a mental health problem and the remainder for physical ill health.Higher levels of stress at the start of the study were associated with a significantly greater likelihood of subsequently being awarded long term disability benefits.But even those with mild stress were up to 70% more likely to receive disability benefits, after taking account of other factors likely to influence the results, such as lifestyle and alcohol intake.One in four of these benefits awarded for a physical illness, such as high blood pressure, angina( 心絞痛), and stroke(中風), and almost two thirds awarded for a mental illness, were likely to have been caused by stress.

　　4.________

　　The authors say that it is important to consider their findings in the context of modern working life, which places greater demands on employees, and social factors, such as fewer close personal relationships and supportive networks.

　　5.________

　　These factors lead them to ask: “ Are the strains and demands of modem society commonly exceeding (超出) human ability?” And they conclude that while mild stress should not be over­medicalised, their findings suggest that it should be taken more seriously than it is.

　?、?閱讀表達

　　閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求回答問題(請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求)。

　　[1]Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What's your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about people's names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

　　[2]People's first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents ____________________. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

　　[3]Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

　　[4]The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

　　[5]Other early surnames came from people's occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter­a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter­a person who made pots and pans.

　　[6]The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter's great­great­great­grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

　　[7]Sometimes_people_were_known_for_the_color_of_their_hair_or_skin,_or_their_size,_or_their_special_abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

　　[8]Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name. English­speaking people added-s or-son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O'. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

　　注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled obesity for most of his life.

　　Obesity, a severe weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one's behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight­loss plans include a well­balanced diet and exercise.

　　People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both.

　　A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.

　　At the end of the year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one­half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

　　Christopher Gardner, who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results.

　　Last week, another report based on thirty­one studies suggested that only a small minority of people have long­term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight within five years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.
