11、 may become _______. A. nervous when faced with difficulties B. physically and mentally tired C. more able to deal with difficulties D. cold toward what happens to them 【答案與解析】 46—50 ADDBC 本文主要論述壓力的產(chǎn)生及人人都不應(yīng)該逃避壓力。文中用了很多高級(jí)詞匯，且有許多復(fù)雜難句，閱讀時(shí)請注意認(rèn)真分析。 41．A。主旨大意題。難度較大。根據(jù)文章前面的敘述，其意為“分?jǐn)?shù)無法
