Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in
the body: the body’ s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases;
muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的)
nervous system actiity. This restful state mot only allows the body to repair
and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and
in some medical circles, a matter of controversy (争论). A recent report by Dr.
David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal " American Psychologist"
said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial
characteristics for the body as meditation (冥想) does. Researchers of other
relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured
techniques, such as meditation , lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response
can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as
important as getting there . One day, one method may work best; on another day,
an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the
methods, you can find the one that works best for you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析)
and progressive muscle relaxation. Although these techniques may not, in the end,
produce more of a relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they
have the added benefit of stucture and discipline, and for these resons appear
to be more effective for most individuals.
26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when
a person is in a state of deep relaxation?
[ A ] The body takes in less oxygen. [ B ]The heart beats less frequently.
[ C ] Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.
[ D ] The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.
27. People seem to agree that __.
[ A ] sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
[ B ] structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
[ C ] to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
[ D ]what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
28. In the third paragraph, the phrase" getting there" means ___.
[ A ] arriving at one’s destination [ B ] getting what one wants most
[ C ] finding out a suitable relaxation technique
[ D ] reaching a state of deep relaxation
29. As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that ___.
[ A ] aims are more important than means
[ B ] means are more important than aims
[ C ] more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques
[ D ] some relaxation techniques are better than others
30. The author’ s attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best
described as ___.
[ A ] subjective [ B ] objective [ C ] optimistic [ D ] critical 转贴于:自学考试_博学在线
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
People ; seldom feel neutral about poetry (诗). Those who love it sometimes give
the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and love.
It isn’t. Words, no matter how satisfying , are never an equivalent for life itself
and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim,
on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. That ’s not
true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words—in poetry or in life —but
when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in
poetry ,they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words.
It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily
extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their
awreness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with
feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful
experiences of the mind, but most poens are primarily about how people feel rather
than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one
of poetry ’s most insistent merits involves its attempt to express the
inexpressible. How can anyone ,for example , put into words what it means to be
in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about ? Poetry tries ,
and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a
reader. No single poem can said to express all the things that love or death feels
like, or means , but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read
a poem and want to say, " Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exctly what
that line means but I’ve never been able to express it so well. " Poetry can be
