62 positive through the cold season could be your best 63 against getting ill, new study findings suggest.
In an experiment that 64 healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a 65 sunny disposition were less likely to 66 ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence 67 a "positive emotional style" can help 68 off the common cold and other illnesses.
Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness 69 immune function and subjective as in happy people being less 70 by a scratchy throat or runny nose. "People with a positive emotional style may have different immune _71 to the virus," explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "And when they do get a cold, they may 72 their illness as being less severe."
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a 73 study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, 74 some questions remained as to 75 the emotional trait itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality traits, self-perceived health and emotional "style". Those who 76 be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged 77 having a positive emotional style, 78 those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile had a negative style. The researchers gave them nasal drops 79 either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the 80 reported on any aches, pains, sneezing or congestion they had, while the researchers collected __81 data, like daily mucus production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes, happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

我们会大笑,我们会伤心,我们会犯错,我们会做梦,这就是生活。它是个旅程。请遵循如下原则,把人生的旅程变成一个快乐的旅程吧!
新的研究结果发现,在寒冷的季节,保持积极的心态是抵抗疾病的最好方法。
在一个实验里,身体健康的志愿者被置于感冒或流感病毒中。研究人员发现,性情阳光的人得病的可能性较小。这些结果发表在《身心医学》期刊上,并为以下观点提供了新证据:“积极向上的情感类型”可以帮助抵抗感冒和其他疾病。
研究人员相信,这既有客观方面的原因,因为快乐感可以提高免疫功能;也有主观方面的原因,因为快乐的人很少受喉咙沙哑或流鼻涕的困扰。匹兹堡卡耐基梅隆大学的Sheldon Cohen博士是这项研究的领导人物,他解释说,“拥有积极向上情感类型的人,对病毒的免疫反应不一样。感冒时,他们会认为自己的病并没有那么严重。”
Cohen和同事在先前的一个研究中发现,人越感觉快乐,得感冒的可能性就越小。但仍存在某些疑问,如情感特点本身是否起作用。
新的研究中,研究人员共研究了193个身体健康的成年人,他们拥有健全的人格,健康和情感类型均自我感觉良好。那些总感觉快乐、精力充沛和随和的人被认为拥有积极向上的情感类型,而那些经常不快、紧张、充满恶意的人拥有消极的情感类型。研究人员给他们使用含有感冒病毒或特殊流感病毒的滴鼻液。随后六天,志愿者上报他们出现的任何症状,如酸痛、打喷嚏、充血等,研究人员收集客观数据,如每天的粘液排量。通过对鼻子不适状况的客观检测,Cohen和同事发现,快乐的人得感冒的可能性相对较小。
62.答案B
解析:此处stay做系动词,后面加一个名词,表示“保持某种状态”。
63.答案D
解析:常和介词against连用的名词为选项A中的safeguard和选项D中defense。safeguard意为“保卫者,保护措施”,defense意为“防卫”。
64.答案C
解析:此空考查动词和介词的搭配。和介词to连用的动词是expose,意为“使……置身于”。而其他三个动词和介词from连用。
65.答案A
解析:此空考查副词。 选项A中的generally意为“一般来讲”;选项B中commonly意为“通常地,普通地”;选项C中的frequently意为“经常”;选项D中的genetically意为“遗传方面地”。
66.答案B
解析:此空考查固定搭配,生病的英语表达为“fall ill”。
67.答案A
解析:考生要注意,evidence后面的从句是个同位语从句,解释说明evidence的内容,所以用连词that来引导同位语从句。
68.答案C
解析:此空考查动词搭配。四个选项中只有ward可以和off连用,ward off意为“防止,避开”。
69.答案B
解析:考生要注意上下文的联系。上文讲,“积极向上的情感类型”可以帮助抵抗感冒和其他疾病。所以说,快乐感是可以提高免疫功能的。因此,选项B为正确答案。
70.答案B
解析:后面作者列举了两种情况,a scratchy throat,a runny nose,快乐的人不太会受到这两种情况的困扰。而选项A是个干扰项,suffer一般不用于被动态。
71.答案C
解析:此句意为:拥有积极向上情感类型的人们对病毒有不同的免疫反应。选项D是个干扰性,reaction强调“反作用力,化学反应”。
72.答案C
解析:能和后面的as连用的动词有选项A、C、D。选项A中需要用think of ... as;选项D中translate ... as意为“把……翻译为”。而选项C中的interpret意为“解释说明”,符合题意。
73.答案C
解析:根据后面从句使用的过去时态,可以判断这是个过去的研究。选项C中的previous意为“上一个”。选项B是个干扰项,former指两者中的前者。
74.答案B
解析:考生要注意两句之间的关系。前一句讲,这个研究发现快乐的人不容易得感冒,后一句讲,仍存在某些疑问。可以判断,两句之间是对比的关系,选择连词but。
75.答案B
解析:此处是个宾语从句用作介词to的宾语,这里强调情感特点是否起作用,选择连词whether。
76.答案A
解析:此空考查动词短语。选项A中的tend to意为“倾向于,易于”;选项B中的incline to强调“赞同,支持” 的含义;选项C中的apt to意为“有可能”,强调某事发生的可能性;选项D中的subject to意为“屈服于,让步于,易受…….的影响”。因此只有A符合题意。
77.答案D
解析:judge ... as意为“判断……为”,此处使用被动语态。
78.答案A
解析:此题要结合上下两句话的含义。前一句讲到积极向上的人,后一句讲到消极的人,所以两者之间是对比关系,选择连词while。
79.答案C
解析:后面的两种物质包含。选项A和B强调某个整体是由哪些部分组成;选项D中的cover强调整体的覆盖。
80.答案C
解析:此空比三段中曾经出现过,这里指的是实验对象。
81.答案A
解析:考生要注意,while连接前后两个句子,前面的句子强调志愿者的主观感受,如疼痛等;后面的句子强调研究人员收集的实验数据,具有客观性。
