问题 共用题干13 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder prevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social and romantic lives,a new survey finds.
The disorder leaves many isolated,ashamed and often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help,the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports.
“Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense,persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situations,”Jerilyn Ross,the association's president and CEO,said during a teleconference Wednesday.
“The condition causes people to avoid common,everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves,”Ross said.
Social anxiety disorder can interfere with daily routines and job performance,Ross noted.“It also makes it very difficult for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships,” she said.
People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and irrational,Ross noted. “But they feel powerless to do anything about it,”she said.
Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens,Dr. Mark H.Pollack,director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School,said during the teleconference.
“This is a disorder that starts affecting people early on,”Pollack said.“The typical age of onset is early adolescence,age 12 or 13,and many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood.”
The disorder also has physical symptoms,including heart palpitations,feelings that their throat will close up,sweating,blushing,faintness,trembling and stammering,Ross said.
Among people with the disorder,75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition,69 percent said they didn't want people to think they were crazy,and 58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition,Ross said.
However,when the condition is diagnosed and treated,many reported improvement in their lives.In fact,59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship.In addition,39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help,Ross noted.
选项 People with social anxiety disorder are known for their fear of______.A: being left aloneB: leading normal livesC: embarrassing other peopleD: facing social or performance situations
答案D
解析题干意为“患有社交焦虑症的人因害怕……而出名”。利用题干中的细节信息词fear作为定位线索，同时利用备选项中的细节信息词/短语作为定位线索normal lives, social or performance situations，在短文的第三段中找到相关句：Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense,persistent and irrational [u]fear[/u] of [u]social or performance situa-tions[/u],”Jerilyn Ross,the association's president and CEO,said during a teleconference Wednesday．相关句提到“美国焦虑症协会主席及总裁Jerilyn Ross星期三在电话会议上说，社交焦虑症是指一个人对社交场合或社交活动有着强烈的，持久的和非理性的恐惧”。由此可知答案为D项“害怕社交场合或社交活动”。 题干意为“患有社交焦虑症的人怎么看待他们感受到的恐惧？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词fear, control作为定位线索，备选项中出现了大量的修饰词beneficial“有益的”,controllable“可控制的”,justified“正当的”，在查找相关句的过程中也关注这些修饰词在短文中的出现情况，在短文的第六段中找到相关句：People with this disorder recognize their [u]fear[/u] is ex-cessive and irrational, Ross noted.“But they feel powerless to do anything about it,” she said．相关句提到“患有社交焦虑症的人意识到他们的恐惧是过分的，没有道理的。但是他们却对此无能为力”。由此可知答案为A项“他们认为他们的恐惧超出了他们的控制”。 题干意为“关于患有社交焦虑症的人的陈述，下面哪个选项陈述的内容与短文内容不一致？”题干中没有细节信息词可以利用来作为定位线索，因此只能对备选项进行逐一判断：（第四段）“The condition causes people to avoid common. everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing them-selves,” Ross said．第四段提到“Ross说，这种状况使那些患有社交焦虑症的人逃避日常的交往甚至逃避与人接触，因为他们害怕被评论，被批评或是被羞辱，这会让他们非常尴尬”。显然D项“患有社交焦虑恐惧症的人往往会评论他人或批评他人”的意义与之意义不一致。所以答案D。该题主要考查考生对英语主被动语态的识别和理解。 题干意为“从最后一段中可以了解到对社交焦虑的治疗是什么情况？”短文的最后一段表明，不少患者在经过治疗后都有好转。因此答案为D项“会导致病人生活得到改善”。
