【解析】

试题分析: 现代社会给人们带来很大的压力，压力大会给人们的身心健康带来危害，如心脏病，高血压，焦躁易怒等。

【1】B考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：人们在感受到压力之后希望得到释放；空后的意思是：它是现代生活中最常见的健康问题的诱因之一。所以这里选B（Stress和pressure or tension是同义词。）解释stress一词。

【2】E考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：有许多身体方面的反应。空后具体说明压力导致人们的心跳快或骤停，继而导致血压高。所以这里选E（压力会影响心脏。）与上下文一致。

【3】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：压力大还会影响到胃，所以这里选C（这会导致胃疼和消化问题。）与上下文一致。

【4】A 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：压力大会使人做事情绪化，所以这里选A（压力会使人生气、 情绪低落或紧张。）符合段意。

【5】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：压力大还会造成心理疾病。所以这里选G（如果压力得不到缓解，就会有心理不健康的危险。）与上下文一致。
