[A]The Thorax paper doesn't specify the illnesses that may result from weakened lung function, though there is evidence that a rapid decline on the order of those recorded in the study's most hostile subjects can lead to lung disease, heart disease, and even early death. The study's strength, Wright says, is that it uses an interdisciplinary approach involving psychology and medicine, and relies on objective measures of both hostility and lung function.

The researchers' next steps are to look at whether the effects of hostility are reversible, and to conduct a similar study of a group of younger people, to get a sense of how early these effects can be seen. “We can intervene later,” says Kubzansky, “but wouldn't it be nice if they never get there in the first place?”

[C]Rosalind Wright, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard, notes that the lungs have been neglected in part, because there’s no clear-cut event like a heart attack to show evidence of their decline. But Wright and her colleagues, drawing on new data, say doctors need to pay more attention to lung function and talk about it with at-risk patients.

[D]Stress headaches, stress fractures, and stress-induced heart attacks are already well known to the general public. Now new research suggests that the lungs are vulnerable to the effects of stress as well.

[E]The results, despite their objectivity, may not entirely please doctors, whose time with patients is already tight. “Clinicians look for: ‘You have it or you don't,’” says Wright's fellow author Laura Kubzansky, an assistant professor in the department of society, human development, and health at the Harvard School of Public Health. “Psychological factors are not so simple. You can't say, ‘Oh, this is a non-hostile person’ in the way that you can say, ‘This is a nonsmoker.’ It makes the whole endeavor harder.”

[F]Recently, in the journal Thorax, they published one of the first studies to show that hostility is a risk factor for poor lung function among older men. The researchers found that men who were more hostile at the outset of the study suffered a more rapid rate of decline in their lung function than others. Moreover, the study found that damage to lung function from hostility was comparable to the amount of damage done by cigarettes, an effect even the investigators were surprised to see. That means, says Wright, “Just as smoking can hurt your lungs, harboring hostility may be harmful.”

[G]The researchers analyzed data from a long-term study of 670 men aged 45 to 86 whose hostility and lung function were measured several times during an eight-year period. Lung function was assessed using a spirometer, which measures subjects’ lung capacity and rate of airflow when they blow into a tube. Hostility, defined as a personality trait that leads to chronic anger, was measured by a widely used true-false questionnaire that assesses mistrust, resentment, and suspiciousness.

(一)答题步骤及方法
% d. v3 Q5 t" }; H
1.精读题目已经给出的首尾段落,推测所要选填内容谈论的中心。
6 N3 ^3 ?: d4 Q0 Y 由于排序题对逻辑严密性要求,一般来说,选填内容的 5 个段落逻 ¼ 性较强,所谈论内容的中心单一,一旦通过首尾句判定出选填内容的中心,那么在下一步的通读选项中就会有意识的确定每个选项内容和中心的关系,方便下一步对题目的正确解答。

2.通读选项,了解每个选项内容,确认选填部分内容明确的中心并勾画出每个段落中的特征词(特征词分析见第一节选择填空内容),根据特征词排定大概顺序。

命题人所希望看到的),另一方面也给出后面选项的答题思路。这一空一般不难,而作为已¾ 给出的首段内容必然含 41 空的选填暗示,考生需要好好分析给出的第一段内容,从选项中找出与之可以承接的内容。

总的来说, 5 个选项的一般难度分布为 41 空难度最小,其次为 42 空,再次之是 45 空,最难的就是 43 空和 44 空,但一旦前面叫容易的三个空解决掉了,后面的两个空也自然迎刃而解。

7.最后一步,文章补充完整之后,检查整个文章的逻辑关系是否合理。
6 o0 Q1 M o+ c7 G( u; K5 w8 ?www.vipky.com (二)试题分析(技能应用)
' v9 N6 \& {1 z( j' g$ g 第一步,找到题目给出文章中已给定的最前面的一段和最末的一段,大概了解文章讲述的内容。
# Y4 k- D0 |& F+ [) j: j 从给出的 C 项我们大概知道本文讲述的主要是有关 lung 的问题;而给出文章结尾的 B 项好像谈到的是 hostility 的影响,两者联系起来我们可以隐约的感觉到本文可能是讲 hostility 对 lung 的影响(当然,这里如果不能把这两者内容联系起来也不要紧,我们可以继续从下面找线索)。
9 J, e U* B* l% t考研专业课论坛 第二步:按自然顺序通读余下选项A、D、E、F、G、H,了解各选项的内容,勾»出各项中的可以反映出上下关系的关键内容,如:一些关键词、中心词等(尤其关注每段段首和段尾句,因为它们起着承上启下的
作用,答题的关键
信息一般藏在它们之间),并勾画出已在题目中排好顺序的选项。

通读各选项内容,在通读过程中可以很轻松的判断出 D 项的位置,从 D 的内容看,它是第一次引入文章谈论的中心话题 the lungs ,故 41 空应该选 D 。然后,我们分别画出余下选填内容 A 、 E 、 F 、 H 的关键信息。 A 中的关键词有 The Thorax paper , E 中关键词有 the results 、 despite their objectivity 、 Laura Kubzansky (从选项的内容上我们可以判断出该人物是在这一段第一次出现,下文中如果出现同一个人物是我们判断段落顺序的关键,因此我们把第一次出现的人物也作为关键词), F 中关键词有 the journal Thorax 、 they , H 中关键词有 Both Wright and Kubzansky 、 this research 。
www.vipky.com; T+ X" i/ Q7 U, U5 s5 p; E# d
第三步,通过中心词或其他有关联的词把含义内容靠近的选项归在一起,确定选项的顺序 。
* M4 |: d( ^* d7 T x 从中心词和关键词我们可以看出, A 、 E 、 F 、 H 都是围绕 Wright and Kubzansky 的研究成果展开的内容,其中 A 、 E 、 F 是围绕 the paper 的内容, H 中的 both 显然是对 the paper 最后的总结,故 H 应该放在 A 、 E 、 F 的后面,由此可以得出 45 空应该选 H 。对于 A 、 E 、 F ,由于 F 是第一次引出 the paper 的内容,因此 F 应该放在 A 、 E 之前,由此确定 42 空应该选 F 。再对比余下的 A 、 E 项,从 A 、 E 中含有共同相关的 objective 内容我们可以判断出 A 应该在 E 之前,故 43 空应该选 A , 44 空应该选 E 。

第四步,把文章整体阅读一遍看逻辑关系是否合适。
考研专业课论坛* z* B" _' l7 R% l
从选填的内容我们可以看出,文章主要讲述医学工作者发现 Hostility (敌对情绪)对肺部健康的影响。文中首段提出压力会导致肺部疾病,第二段到第七段围绕 hostility (有时用形容词 hostile )使用医学工作者的新研究结果来证明敌对情绪对肺部健康的影响。最后一段提出未来研究方向。行文严谨,逻辑严密。
, u( [0 i1 u* V1 f考研专业课论坛 总之,当你熟悉了新题型的解题思路,通过平时的训练以及对真题的研读,掌握了它的考查重点、命题规律后,这种题型的难度自然就降低了。正所谓的熟能生巧!
