who would be at the other end. I steeled myself to
travel
the road that would lead me to a better
understanding of who I was and of what I
wanted out of life. I shared my mixed
feelings with my husband. He was as worried as I
was, but he was also warmly

Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by
some
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should
decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
More and more Americans are finding that they must learn to cope with
chronic illness. Granted, for
some of the 125 million people with chronic
illnesses, the
problems are minor, but
for 60 million others have multiple chronic
conditions that can
be serious or life-
threatening.
The
toll
of
so
much
illness
is
enormous
—
$$510
billion
annually.
But
chronic illness exacts an emotional
toll as well, and it is in that realm that
researchers are
increasingly looking to
the hard-won wisdom of patients to find ways to
help others cope
with diseases that
might once have engulfed them in shame or despair.
One
view
is
that
people
with
chronic
illnesses
should
be
neither
pitied
nor idealized, either by others or by
themselves. Pity can come across as condescending.
Turning someone into a hero may not
help. Other mental health specialists, such as Ann
Webster, take a somewhat different
view. Some people with chronic illnesses do want
to
be seen as normal, she said, but
others do seem truly heroic and may appreciate
some
recognition of that.
Some long-term survivors in her AIDS
group
some of the most evolved and
spiritual people, and they never were that way
before.
future,
she
said.
Some
people
can
throw
their
energies
into
beating
their
disease
and
returning to
normal activities. But others can't beat the
illness, no matter how hard they
try.
Many people can do this on their own, she said,
but many also find it helpful to join
support groups or see individual
counselors. Ultimately, the task is to make
meaning in
the face of disability or
imminent
(
即将发生的,
逼近的)
death, to reassess what's still
important and what you can still do,
when your old goals and dreams can no longer be
met.
31.
Ann Webster is different from other people in that she thinks ______.
A) people with chronic diseases may feel encouraged when their heroic deeds are
recognized
B)
people
with
chronic
illnesses
wish
to
be
treated
in
the
same
way
as
a
normal
person
C)
idealizing
people
with
chronic
illnesses
may
put
them
under
great
mental
pressure
D)
sympathizing
people
with
chronic
illnesses
may
make
them
feel
inferior
to
others
正确答案:
A
32.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the people in Webster's group?
A) Many people turn to support groups for help.
B) Most of them realize they have to fight on their own.
C) Some of them return to normal life by fighting hard.

A) people should stick to their dreams and goals no matter what happens
