2017高考英语阅读理解练习附答案

　　阅读理解【1】

　　Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska，the study's first author，explained：“Women with job authority-the ability to hire，fire，and influence pay-have greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”

　　The study followed 1，500 middle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.

　　The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels of authority at work，women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work，however，it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority actually had a 10% lower risk of depression，while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.

　　Dr Pudrovska continued：“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental health.These women have more education，higher incomes，better jobs，and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet，they have worse mental health than lower-status(地位)women.”

　　The cause of this discrepancy is not known，but Dr Pudrovska says：“Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety，negative social interactions，negative stereotypes，prejudice，social isolation(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics，they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的`).This causes mental stress.”

　　Men，on the other hand，do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.

　　29.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

　　A.Female bosses get less stress from work than male bosses.

　　B.Female bosses get the same stress from work as male bosses.

　　C.Female bosses get the same stress from work as employees.

　　D.Female bosses get more stress from work than male bosses.

　　30.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

　　A.The higher levels of authority，the fewer women suffer depression.

　　B.The higher levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.

　　C.The lower levels of authority，the more men suffer depression.

　　D.The lower levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.

　　31.What did Dr Pudrovska think of the results?

　　A.Exciting. B.Surprising.

　　C.Disappointing. D.Inspiring.

　　32.What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A.Difference. B.Excellence.

　　C.Preference. D.Reference.

　　My friends, what is your motto? If you still haven’t got a motto, please choose _ 70_______ because a motto can have a great effect on you.

　　参考答案：

　　61. that / which。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是a sentence or a phrase，指物，故用关系代词that / which.。

　　62. faced。表示“面对困难”是“be faced with”。

　　63. themselves。由those可知，用反身代词themselves作宾语。该谚语的意思是“自助者天助”。

　　64. to work。因make efforts后接to do sth.表示“尽力做某事”。

　　65. but。因前后是转折关系。

　　66. to。因devote oneself to (介词)…是固定搭配，意为“致力于”。

　　67. where。引导地点状语从句，表示“……的地方”用where。

　　68. confidence。因with是介词，后要接名词做宾语;confident的名词形式是confidence。

　　6. an。指作者成为一个独立的人，表示“一个”用不定冠词;又因independent以元音开头，故用an。

　　70. one。替代“a+单数可数名词(a motto)”，用one。
