When you fail to manage to control these problems, they are likely to cause various mental illnesses and, as a result of physiological imbalance, physical illnesses. You may not be able to live a normal life, let alone a fulfilling one. 　　The causes of mental health problems often vary a lot from one case to another. In today? society, a good number of people are suffering from heavy pressure. Others are lacking in communication skills and feel they are living in an isolated world. In addition, a lot of people are ignorant of psychological knowledge about how to keep mentally fit. 　　There are a lot of ways to curb mental health problems and keep psychologically healthy. Firstly, find the real cause of your mental health problem and see whether you can do something to make a change. Secondly, learn to relax yourself and take exercise to release the pressure. After all, your health is what counts most. Lastly, you may find it helpful to talk to your partner, a relative or a friend about your problems, or seek support and advice from a psychological consultant. 六级阅读： As you all know, the United States is a country on wheels. Nearly eight million new cars are made each year; four households out of five own at least one car, and more than a quarter have two each. Yet you’ll be surprised to learn that some of the car-owners even suffer from malnutrition（营养不良）. In 1968, a nation-wide survey of malnutrition was made for the first time. It found that 10 million people are suffering in health through inadequate feeding; the causes of their plight（困境）were varied. Unemployment over a long period should be considered as the main factor. And unemployment, strange to say, nine times out of ten results from automation, both in industrial and agricultural areas. For example, in the rural South when a cotton plantation suddenly cuts its force from 100 people to three, the problem to help the displaced arises. So is the case with industrial automation. In fact, probably 2 million jobs are made unnecessary each year in the whole country as a result of the automation process, thus making unemployment a chief social concern. According to government statistics, the number of people unemployed was over 5 percent for the period from 1958 to 1963. In July 1981, it rose to 7.8 percent. As a matter of fact, it has long been known that even during the most prosperous periods there have been people without enough to eat. So I think that’s why President Kennedy said in his inauguration speech in 1961, if the government did not help the poor, it could not save the rich. In 1966, the Social Security Administration calculated that a family of four needed an income of $3,355 a year to be above the line of poverty. And in 1977, the average poverty line of the country was slightly more than $6,200 annual income for a non-farm family of four. According to the Social Security Act, families of that size below poverty line are eligible to receive benefits from the special welfare program. The average weekly payment of benefits now is equivalent to 36 percent of the worker’s normal wage. And the number of people who receive government benefits is increasing. In 1973, social insurance payments by governments, mainly to old age pensioners and people who had lost their jobs or were off work through illness, amounted to $86,000 million. Those not fully qualified for insurance payments received $29,000 million in public aid. But problems still exist. Many people are not reached by the anti-poverty program, because local authorities and agencies do not want to play their part or do not gave the resources to do so. Some poor people will not accept help for various reasons. Of course, there are some more important factors which lie in the structure of the society, but I don’t consider it necessary to dig into them here. Yet we will perhaps agree that social welfare programs have solved to some extent the problems of feeding, clothing and housing those below the poverty line. On the whole, it perhaps might be said that American people are living a better life than people in most other countries. 1. The United States is called a country on wheels because______.

Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that 71. women tend to be more recently employed and have more 72. years on the job. Whether women who have started a career will attain pay equality with men rest on at least two factors. 73. First, will most of them continue part time at their jobs after 74. they have children? A break in their employment, or a decision 75. to work part time, will slow its raises and promotions because it would for men. Second, will male-dominated 76. companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different 77. rate as they elevate men? On some fields, this had clearly not 78. happened. Many men, for example, have committed their 79. lives to teaching careers, yet relative few have become 80. principals or headmasters. 答案： 71. from fact -> from the fact 72. recently -> frequently 73. rest -> rests 74. part -> full 75. its -> their 76. because -> as 77. different -> same 78. On -> In 79. men -> women 80. relative -> relatively 六级翻译： 　　1. Man，no less than the lower forms of life，_______________（是演化过程的产物）. 　　2. _______________（不止一个人觉察到）her agitation. 　　3. ________________（液体密度越大），the easier it is to float on it. 　　4. _______________（只有工人的要求得到满足）will they return to work. 　　5. Had ________________（要不是有水库）we’d never have been able to beat the drought. 　　参考答案及解析: 　　1. is a product of the evolutionary process 　　解析：单数名词＋with，together with，along with，as well as，accompanied by，no less than，rather than，in addition to，instead of，including，besides等＋名词结构作主语时，谓语动词用单数。Man在这里是个单数概念，指全人类，因此句子谓语部分要用单数is。再如：A technician，along with some young workers，is working on the design.（技术员正在和一些青年工人一道搞设计。）本题全句意为：人类，同生命的低级形式一样，是演化过程的产物。 　　2. More than one person has noticed 　　解析：many a或more than one所修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词必须用单数。所以句子需填入部分谓语译成has，又由于“觉察到”暗示了动作已经发生，因此用完成时态。但是，考生要注意的是：如果more than one后面又出现了thousand，hundred等，动词就要用复数，如：More than one thousand graduates have responded to the Party’s call and gone to work in the border regions.（一千多名毕业生响应党的号召，到边疆工作去了。） 　　3. The denser a liquid is 　　解析：本题考查的是“the＋adj.比较级，the＋adj.比较级”的结构，表示“越……越……”。The denser在句中充当表语。当表语前置，主语和系动词用正常语序即可。当前置的表语为形容词词组、介词短语等，主语和系动词就要倒装。如：To north of the town was little village，where I spent my childhood in happiness.（在这个小城镇的北边有一个小村庄，我在那儿幸福地度过了我的童年。） 　　4. Only when the workers’ demands are satisfied 　　解析：本题考查only修饰的状语放在句首，主谓要倒装。Will they return to work已经给出暗示。此外，only＋副词，only＋介词短语置于句首，主谓也要倒装。如：Only with the aid of telescope can he observe the celestial bodies.（只有借助望远镜，他才能观测到天体。）值得注意的是：如果句首only修饰的是主语，则不需要倒装。如：Only Tom has been to the small island once before.（只有汤姆以前去过那个小岛一次。） 　　5. it not been for the reservoir 　　解析：由于句首已经给出Had，那么这里就是考查虚拟语气省略if引起的主谓倒装。由主句时态可知，从句情况与过去事实相反，因此用过去完成时态。另外，如果句首倒装的条件句含有否定词not，且had提前，一般不可使用省略式n’t，而应将not置于条件句之后。本题意为：若不是有水库，我们绝不能战胜干旱。 声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。 - 1 -
