1.[D]题目中的people’sstateofmind就是本文第1句中eitherhappierorunhappierormoreorlesscertainofthemselves。而对于这种研究,作者开门见山地表明自己的态度是skeptical怀疑的,因此该研究结论是questionable“可疑的”,故选D。
2.[B]第3段说“虽然我们无法使时光倒流,但是我们成年人还是可以做很多事情来帮助下一代,使他们可以妥善应对”所以,“使时光倒流”实质上是改变孩子们现在所生活的环境,正确答案为B。
3.[C]只要读懂第1段最后一句的比较结构:该分析显示,现在9到17岁的普通儿童比50年前接受精神病治疗的儿童所表现出来的焦虑不安程度还要高,此题答案就一目了然,即选C。
4.[C]根据第4段开头的Atthetopofthelist可知答案可在该段中寻得。由该段最后一句“加强社会联系有助于社区的建设,也有助于使个人免受压力的侵扰”可知正确答案为C。
5.[A]根据文章最后两句“有时候焦虑是难免的,但它并不是非要毁掉你的生活不可”可知A说法与之相符,故选A。
