　　A new German study has uncovered evidence that there is a strong link between traffic jams and developing a heart attack. It has been found that individuals were three times more likely to develop a condition if they had recently got stuck in traffic, most probably because of the exposure(接触) of the car fumes(尾气) and other pollution they breathed.

　　The researchers analyzed data of heart attack cases between February. 2007 and December 2011. They interviewed nearly 1,500 patients to gather information and figure out what could be potential triggers of heart attack. The participants were asked standardized set of questions, such as what they were doing the day of the heart attack, where exactly they went, what means of transportation they used and how much time they spent in a traffic jam.

　　The experts found that driving a car turned out to be the most common source of traffic exposure, however, using public transportation or riding a bicycle were also other forms of traffic exposure. The researchers reported that 8% of all heart attack cases were specifically linked to having been in traffic. In general, time spent in any type of transportation in traffic was associated with more than 3 times higher risk for experiencing a heart attack within the first hour immediately following the exposure.

　　The team has also found that women, elderly men, patients who were unemployed, and those with a history of angina(心绞痛) appeared to be particularly sensitive and were affected the most by traffic. Female participants, in fact, were more likely to have a 5 times greater risk for a heart attack following such exposure, compared to men.

　　1. The best title for the passage is probably ________.

　　A. Traffic Jams — a Great Killer

　　B. Be Sure to Avoid Traffic Jams

　　C. Traffic Jams May Lead to Heart Attack

　　D. Get Your Heart away from Traffic Jams

　　2. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

　　A. directions

　　B. effects

　　C. tendencies

　　D. causes

　　3. The researchers came up with the conclusion mainly through ________.

　　A. observation

　　B. analysis

　　C. experiment

　　D. questionnaire

　　4. From the last two paragraphs, we can know that ________.

　　A. driving a car is the most dangerous thing in the world

　　B. taking public transportation will certainly avoid heart attack

　　C. men are more likely to be affected by traffic than women

　　D. unemployed women patients may be affected the most by traffic

　　China’s funemployed graduates “gnaw(啃；咬) on the old”. They don’t want to work in factories or farms, but at the same time, the white-collar lifestyle remains far out of reach.

　　For the 7.27 million Chinese students who graduated from college last year — a number roughly 2.5 times the US figure — the job market can be serious: low salaries, long hours and the knowledge that there are millions of other people just waiting to replace you. Those realities look even harsher when you compare the bargain-basement salaries earned by the average Chinese young adult with the exorbitant(过高的) wealth of China’s well-connected.

　　Growth in decent (体面的) jobs has lagged (落后) far behind the non-stop bumper (丰盛的) crops of college graduates, and competition for scarce positions often comes down to family connections and cold hard cash. China is almost two years into one of its most intense corruption crackdowns in decades, but young Chinese job-seekers still report being extorted for huge sums of money that dwarf their would-be salaries.

　　According to a study by Tian Feng of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the unemployment rate among college graduates from urban families is about 12 percent, while for graduates from rural backgrounds it’s 30 percent. And the gap looks even wider when considering that recent graduates from urban backgrounds earn around 20 percent more than their rural peers.

　　The pay-to-play nature of China’s job market means that while wealthy urban youth can “gnaw” on their parents’ money and networks to get ahead, young men and women from the countryside are often left with nothing but middling diplomas.

　　1. The term “China’s funemployed graduates” probably refers to “________”.

　　A. the graduates who are employed

　　B. the graduates who are unemployed but happy

　　C. the employed graduates who have fun

　　D. the unemployed who are funny

　　2. It can be concluded from the passage that the employment rate is sure to be higher if graduates ________.

　　A. come from rural backgrounds

　　B. have well-connected family with much money

　　C. try to improve social conditions

　　D. come from the countryside with diplomas

　　3. Which of the following is NOT true for the reason of unemployment?

　　A. The number of youth graduated from college is too large.

　　B. Now decent jobs are scarce.

　　C. Graduates come from the countryside have no family connection and little money.

　　D. Graduates care too much about the well-paid jobs.

　　4. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Hardships for China’s Youth

　　B. Hardships after Graduation

　　C. China’s Youth Depends on Their Parents

　　D. Hardships in Job-hunting

　　答案与解析

　　【文章大意】

　　本文从当今中国大学毕业生的就业状况这一角度分析了“啃老族”产生的原因。

　　1. 答案

　　B

　　词义猜测题。根据第一段中They don’t want to work in factories or farms, but at the same time, the white-collar lifestyle remains far out of reach.可知，很多中国毕业生不愿去农村或工厂就业，而白领生活方式又遥不可及，因此宁愿失业啃老。

　　2. 答案

　　3. 答案

　　4. 答案

　　C

　　解析

　　主旨大意题。根据文章的第一句China’s funem-ployed graduates “gnaw on the old”并结合全文可知选C项。
