It's difficult for others to understand yourgoals.Well, 1 certainly don't think you're crazy. In fact, every traveler I know would agree that you're only crazy if you decide not to go after your goals in life.I started traveling back in 1999, shortly after graduating from university. My plan was to backpack around Southeast Asia for three months and then return to the US to becomea sports agent. However, just one week into that trip, I realized that tbree months of travel simply wasn't enough.The only problem was that I had less than $1,500 to my name. Fast forward lo today... Over the past 15 years, 1 have discovered, and taken advantage of, endless opportunities that have allowed me to continuously live, travel, study and earn money in over 85 countries.The point is, if I can make it happen with $1,500 and no idea what I was doing, you can make it happen as well.And with the knowledge and experience I'm about to pass on to you in this guide , you're going to have a much easier path ahead than I ever did!If you are constantly wondering how you can possibly achieve all of your travel goals during this lifetime, I just want to repeat everything you, re dreaming about really can be achieved.It'll take some haixl work and determination for sure, but when you find yourself living or traveling or working overseas, enjoying rewarding experiences, you'11 be thankful that you decided to choose a life of travel.And I honestly can't wait to meet up with you in some foreign land where we can swap travel stories over a beer or coffee or tea!5.What difficulty did the author once meet?A.

Anxious.CRiding on an exercise bike at home may keep you in physical shape, but it can get pretty boring after a while. Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an h our a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all be needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app (应用程序)for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset (头戴式视图器)which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street view and make it seem like he’s cycling through different real-life locations. Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all heneeded to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired,leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess,Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.Aaron's project is obviously no substitute (替代品〉for real outdoor cycling as it Lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, bul it has given him a goal, as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.Obviously, Aaron’s setup theoretically allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he ba6 always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land of the Rising Sun.8. Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?A. To invent a new kind of bicycle.B. To participate in a competition.C. To satisfy the needs of the public.D.To add fun to his exercise bike routine*9. Which of the fallowing can best describe Aaron Puxey?A. Creative.B. Ambitious.C. Funny.D. Boring.10. What was the challenge for Puzey in his project?A. Changing the 3D data into pictures.B.

Cycling Across the World at HomeB. The Lazy Man and His Crazy IdeaC. A New Way of Cycling Without EffortD. A Substitute for Real Outdoor CyclingIf you're still of the belief thaJ mental health conditions aren,t as serious as physical ones,a new report will open your eyes.The United States spent about $201 billion on mental illness in 2013, according to the new analysis published in the journal Health Affairs. That makes it the costliest medical condition in the country. Heart conditions were the second costliest condition, falling far behind menial disorders at $147 billion. Trauma(外伤)and injury was third at $143 billion.“One key finding of this study is the degree to which spending on mental health disorders in 2013 topped those on all other medical conditions, including heart conditions, trauma, and cancer. Researcher Charles Roehrig wrote in the study's conclusion.Just a decade ago, heart conditions outweighed mentd disorders. Health care costs onheart Problems were about $105 Million in 1996, with mental disordere coming in second at $79 billion.The findings are just another example of how important it is to recognize mental illness as a widespread public health issue. Nearly one in four people will experience a mental health condition at some point in his or her life. Despite this fact, though, there's still a lack of sensitivity and understanding in society—and even the medical community—when it comes to mental disorders.Research shows discrimination involved in mental health. Negative thoughts surrounding mental illness often prevent people from seeking treatment, which can have serious consequences.Data also suggests that not paying attention to mental illness can affeci a company 's bottom line. Serious mental illnesses result in about $193 billion in lost earnings per year.Lastly, the cost of mental health issues extends beyond a dollar sign, but perhaps the shocking figure in the report will finally serve as a wakeup call for those who believe psychological (心理的)conditions aren't real issues. In other words, can we please take mental illness seriously now?12. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The new analysis.B. Mental illness.C.$201 billion.D. The journal Health Affairs.13. How much more is spent on mental disorders in 2013 compared with 1996?A.$54 billion.B.$96 billion.C.$122 billion.D.$143 billion.14. What is one reason why people hesitate to receive mental treatment?A. Psychological doctors charge too much.B. They aren't aware of their mental illness.C. They don't believe in doctors medical skills.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.15. What is the author5 s purpose in writing this passage?A. To show harmful effects of mental disorders.B. To raise people's awareness of mental health.C.To prove the importance of public health issue.D.To remind people to have mental examinations.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

中山一中2015-2016学年度第一学期第一次段考高二英语试题第一局部阅读理解〔共15小题;每一小题2分,总分为30分〕阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B、C和D〕中,选出最优选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AHow many men do housework? Recently a European commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question,〞 Who does the housework? 〞 The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.1. The survey was carried out in .A. BritainB. ItalyC. DenmarkD. Europe2. The subject for the survey is .A. how many boys do the houseworkB. who does the housework at homeC. how many women do the houseworkD. who are more diligent, wives or husbands3. From the passage we can see that .A. there were more husbands who did the housework than wivesB. husbands did half of the housework all the timeC. there were more wives who did the housework than husbandsD. wives did almost all the housework at home4. More husbands help in the house than husbands.A. British; DanishB. Italian; DanishC. Danish; BritishD. Italian; BritishBBrenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit〔成套设备〕 and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next –door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''5.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.6.Brenda started to give concerts .A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her inthe space bubble7.Brenda became famous because .A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent 8.It can be inferred from the text that: " ".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherCFour people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51. It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA .The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalin d Franklin. “She should have been up there,〞 says historian Mary Bowden. “If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.〞 One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.〞As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.〞No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer,〞 Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA〞, Franklin is finally coming into the light.9. What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.10. Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists11. The underlined phrase “backed up〞 in the last paragraph probably means .A. supportedB. arguedC. toleratedD. rejected12.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA〞?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.C. Her name was forgotten after her death.D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.DLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,〞 a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader explanation of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.〞 At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的), because they’re surrounded by the digital world,〞 he says. “They’ re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.〞This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,〞 Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,〞 taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish(滋养) the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.13. Low technology is regarded as something that .A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world14. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings .A. have destroyed many pre-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines15. The writer’s attitude to “low technology〞 can best be described as .A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. doubtful第二局部阅读填空〔共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语上学期第一次阶段检测试题一、阅读理解(每空2分,共30 分)AChocolate is good for your heart, skin and brain. Usually, people think that chocolate is bad for their health. They describe chocolate as “something to die for” or say “death by chocolate”. Now they should bite their tongues! Evidence is showing that some kinds of chocolate are actually good for you in the following ways:A happier heartScientists at Harvard University recently examined 136 studies on cocoa— the main ingredient in chocolate— and found that it does seem to strengthen the heart. Studies have shown heart benefits from increased blood flow. These benefits are the result of cocoa’s chemicals, which seem to prevent both cell damage and inflammation(炎症)。
Better blood pressureIf yours is high, chocolate may help. Jeffrey Blumberg from Tufts University recently found that people with high blood pressure who ate 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate per day for two weeks saw their blood pressure drop quickly.Muscle magic Chocolate milk may help you recover after a hard workout(锻炼). In a small study at Indiana University, people who drank chocolate milk between workouts did better on a tiredness test than those who had some sports drinks.Better for your skinGerman researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special cocoa every day. After three months, the women’s skin was moister and smoother. The research shows that chocolate helps protect and increase blood flow to the skin, improving its appearance.Brain gainsIt sounds almost too good to be true, but research suggests that chocolate may improve your memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving skills by increasing blood flow to the brain.21.What’s the meaning of “bite their tongues” in the first paragraph?A. Stop talking.B. Speak up.C. Think ofit. D. Listen to it.22.What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?A. Sports drinks are better than chocolate milk.B. sports drinks can make people easy to be tired.C. Drinking milk can keep you energetic at work.D. we should drink chocolate milk between times when we work hard.23.What’s the best title for this passage?A. Chocolate, a HealthyFood B. More Chocolate, Less HealthC. Chocolate and Blood PressureD. Advice on Eating ChocolateBShort and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, Cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless." he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future. Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy." John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are completely crazy,' " Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.24. The turning point in Saunders’life came when _____A. he started to play ball gamesB. he ran his first marathon at age 18C. he got a mountain bike at age 15D. he sta rted to receive Ridgway’s training25. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A. won his fame for his voyage across the AtlanticB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. dismissed Saunders’ dr eam as fantasy26. What do we know about Saunders?A. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.B. He once worked at a school in Scotland.C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.27.The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.A. ExcitedB. FascinatedC. DelightedD. Convinced28. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.A. was accompanied by his old playmatesB. made him well-known in the 1960sC. was supported by other Arctic explorersD. set a record in the North Pole expeditionCThere is no doubt that for a long time college education has been accepted. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere(妨碍;干扰) with each other’s experim ents and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young peoplethemselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation(指责) of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrainedeighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds,either.29.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph, ___________________.A.people have great expectations for college education.B. people still have a low opinion of college education.C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.D. people now no longer challenge college education.30.The reason why more young people drop out of college is that _________.A.they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.B. they are no longer motivated in their studies.C. they compete for admission to graduate schoolsD. college administrators force them to do so.31.Who contributes to campus unhappiness?A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.C. young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.D. our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.DIncreasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game. Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers –most of them aren’t nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2012 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn’t. Look up “headache”, and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2015 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.The problem is that most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的), so it’d hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.32. According to the text, an increasing number of American _____.A. are suffering from mental disordersB. like to play deadly games with doctorsC. turn to Internet pharmacies for helpD. are skeptical about surfing medical websites33. Some Americans stay away from doctors because they _____.A. are afraid to face the truth of their healthB. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctorsC. find medical devices easy to operateD. are afraid to misuse their health insurance34. According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______.A. more than 6 million Americans distrust doctorsB. about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high qualityC. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profitD. 72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts35. Which of the following is the author’s main argument?A. It’s cheap to self-treat your own illness.B. It’s dangerous to be your own doctor.C. It’s reasonable to put up a medical website.D. It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.二、阅读填空(每空2 分,共10 分)Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for.

Aaron Puzey had been on his exercise bike for half an h our a day for years when he decided to look for a way to make it a bit more fun.With virtual reality technology widely available nowadays, all be needed to do was find a way of applying it to his needs. So he set out to build an app (应用程序)for the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR headset (头戴式视图器)which would allow him to hook it up to Google Street view and make it seem like he’s cycling through different real-life locations. Building the app to download the 3D data from Street View and make it viewable in the VR headset was the toughest part of his project. Other than that, all heneeded to do was tape a Bluetooth monitor to his exercise bike. Although the quality of the images sometimes leaves a lot to be desired,leaving complex scenes like trees looking like a mess,Aaron has been having a lot of fun on his journey.Aaron's project is obviously no substitute (替代品〉for real outdoor cycling as it Lacks things like the wind blowing in your face or the pain of battling an uphill climb, bul it has given him a goal, as well as the chance to take in the beauty of places he might have otherwise never seen. It definitely beats staring at a wall or at the TV for 30 minutes, anyway.Obviously, Aaron’s setup theoretically allows him to ride a bike anywhere around the world. He says he ba6 always wanted to see Japan, so once his ride comes to an end, he plans to start another one across the Land o f the Rising Sun.8. Why did Aaron Puzey build the app?A. To invent a new kind of bicycle.B. To participate in a competition.C. To satisfy the needs of the public.D.To add fun to his exercise bike routine*9.

Cycling Across the World at HomeB. The Lazy Man and His Crazy IdeaC. A New Way of Cycling Without EffortD. A Substitute for Real Outdoor CyclingIf you're still of the belief thaJ mental health conditions aren,t as serious as physical ones,a new report will open your eyes.The United States spent about $201 billion on mental illness in 2013, according to the new analysis published in the journal Health Affairs. That makes it the costliest medical condition in the country. Heart conditions were the second costliest condition, falling far behind menial disorders at $147 billion. Trauma(外伤)and injury was third at $143 billion.“One key finding of this study is the degree to which spending on mental health disorders in 2013 topped those on all other medical conditions, including heart conditions, trauma, and cancer. Researcher Charles Roehrig wrote in the study's conclusion.Just a decade ago, heart conditions outweighed mentd disorders. Health care costs on heart Problems were about $105 Million in 1996, with mental disordere coming in second at $79 billion.The findings are just another example of how important it is to recognize mental illness as a widespread public health issue. Nearly one in four people will experience a mental health condition at some point in his or her life. Despite this fact, though, there'sstill a lack of sensitivity and understanding in society—and even the medical community—when it comes to mental disorders.Research shows discrimination involved in mental health. Negative thoughts surrounding mental illness often prevent people from seeking treatment, which can have serious consequences.Data also suggests that not paying attention to mental illness can affeci a company 's bottom line. Serious mental illnesses result in about $193 billion in lost earnings per year.Lastly, the cost of mental health issues extends beyond a dollar sign, but perhaps the shocking figure in the report will finally serve as a wakeup call for those who believe psychological (心理的)conditions aren't real issues. In other words, can we please take mental illness seriously now?12. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The new analysis.B. Mental illness.C.$201 billion.D. The journal Health Affairs.13. How much more is spent on mental disorders in 2013 compared with 1996?A.$54 billion.B.$96 billion.C.$122 billion.D.$143 billion.14. What is one reason why people hesitate to receive mental treatment?A. Psychological doctors charge too much.B. They aren't aware of their mental illness.C. They don't believe in doctors medical skills.D. They are afraid of being looked down upon.15. What is the author5 s purpose in writing this passage?A. To show harmful effects of mental disorders.B. To raise people's awareness of mental health.C.To prove the importance of public health issue.D.To remind people to have mental examinations.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
