Question

17．Travel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel．Many people will travel great distances in airplanes，cars or other vehicles．Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air．
One of these is a condition called hypoxia （缺氧症）．It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain．Experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground．The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level．This makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground．Fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues （组织） in the lungs and reach the bloodstream．
The result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood．This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body．
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache．When this happens，the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster．This can make the traveler feel tired．
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person．But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems．They might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack．
Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen．So they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight．They also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying．
63．The author writes the passage mainly toC．
A．warn people in airplanes of possible dangers
B．offer some advice on avoiding health problems
C．explain the causes and effects of hypoxia
D．advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol
64．According to the passage，what leads to hypoxia？A
A．The brain lacks enough oxygen．
B．The air pressure in a plane is too high．
C．Our body needs less oxygen during takeoff．
D．The bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules．
65．The underlined part"fix the situation"means"D"．
A．use more oxygen it needs            
B．increase the air pressure
C．reduce the amount of blood          
D．bump more blood to the brain
66．Why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying？A
A．They weaken the body's ability to use oxygen．
B．Smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane．
C．Drinking alcohol may raise one's blood pressure．
D．Drinking is forbidden at the airport．

Answer 1

分析 文章讲述的是关于坐飞机旅行时会出现的缺氧症的原因和造成的后果．

解答 CADA
63：C 推理判断题，根据第一段的Experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air可知，文章是向读者解释缺氧症的原因和后果．
64：A 事实细节题，根据第二段It results from a lack of oxygen to the brain可知，是由于大脑缺氧导致
65：D 推理判断题，根据第三段内容可知，解决这种情况指的是给大脑提供更多的血液．
66：A 事实细节题，根据最后一段Experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the body's ability to use oxygen可知，

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
