Part I Writing （參考范文）
How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic
With the population explosion, the traffic in cities becomes heavier and heavier. People find it difficult to get to where they are heading for. In addition, they are more likely to be stuck somewhere in a traffic jam and even get involved in a traffic accident.
To solve the problem, there might be two solutions. The first one is to build more roads. By doing so, we can lower the degree of crowdedness in the streets and speed up the flow of traffic. But more roads will take up too much land. The second solution is to open up more bus lines. As a result, the number of bicycles and cars will be cut down. Unfortunately, it also has a drawback: it will bring inconvenience to those who live or work far away from bus routes.
In fact, the best solution as I see it is to adopt both solutions at the same time because either has its advantages and disadvantages. Only in this way can we efficiently solve the problem of heavy traffic.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1.答案為 Y. 本題主要考查考生對詞匯的理解。文章的第一段中出現(xiàn)了“…life without stress would be dull and unexciting.”和 “…too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being.”其中，dull and unexciting 對應(yīng)題中的uninteresting； physical and mental well-being 對應(yīng)physically and psychologically.
2.答案為 Y. 本題對應(yīng)文章第一段中的 “A major challenge in today's stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.”句子的意思是“在當(dāng)今充滿壓力的世界中，你面對的一個主要挑戰(zhàn)是如何把生活的壓力變成對你有利的因素，而非不利的因素?！鳖}目的意思是“在當(dāng)今充滿壓力的世界中，我們應(yīng)該把握住生活的壓力，而不是被它左右。”題目和原句表述一致。考生可以根據(jù)分解對應(yīng)的技巧，將題目分解對應(yīng)，也可以完全與原文句對應(yīng)。
3.答案為N. 作者在第一段中寫到：“Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness， …” 依次可判斷，本題的因果關(guān)系倒置，故為錯。
4.答案為 NY. 文中提到“If the stress-causing conditions continue， your body will need time to make repairs，…”，但未明確具體的時間量，所以題中的2到3天是文章沒有的信息。
5.答案為 Y. 本題是對文章中的“While it‘s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress， it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize its impact when it can’t be avoided.”所做的paraphrase.平時加強這方面的練習(xí)，有助于解答此類題目。
6.答案為 N. 本題是推斷題。考生要注意在最后一個relaxation technique里，作者用到的begin， toes， finish， facial muscles等詞，說明progressive指的是從下到上的順序，而不是增加活動肌肉的強度。
7.答案為 NG. 本題是概括題。文章中在減輕生活中的壓力上，提出“Try Physical Activity， Share Your Stress， Take Care of Yourself， Make Time for Yourself， Make a List of the Things You Need to Do， Go ahead and Cry， Create a Quiet Scene， Avoid Self-Medication， Relax”， 但沒有給出壓力大需要去住院的建議。
8.答案為 at least a half hour.在文中小標題“Make Time for Yourself” 段中，可以找到“Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.”。考生應(yīng)該知道題中的set aside與原句中的allow都是“留出”的意思。
9.答案為 to learn how to relax.在文中小標題“Relax” 段中，可以找到“The best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax.”。句中有對應(yīng)信息。
10.答案為 to be calmer， healthier and happier.從文中的結(jié)尾句“The result is， you will be calmer， healthier and happier.”可以反推出減少壓力和郁悶的目的
