题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
【1】 (die) of a broken heart sounds like the ending of a romantic story. But it actually happens.

This causes the left ventricle(心室), which pushes oxygen-rich blood through the body, 【3】(expand) abnormally at the bottom.
The scientific community has studied how unexpected emotional shocks can cause a heart attack. These shocks are usually unpleasant, such as the death of a family member or a violent 【4】 (argue). Recently, however, researchers discovered that even 【5】 (delight) events can give the same result. A team of researchers in Switzerland 【6】(collect) data on 1,750 cases of the Takotsubo syndrome. The team found that emotional shocks caused 485 of those 1,750 cases. And within that group of 485, 【7】 total of 20 people could be said to have suffered from 'happy heart syndrome', 【8】 causes include a favorite team winning a game and the birth of a grandchild. 【9】interesting finding is that TTS affects mostly women.
Happy and sad life events are, of course, very different. 【10】(far) studies are also needed to figure out if both events share the same pathway in the central nervous system for causing Takotsubo syndrome.

【3】to expand
【4】argument

【6】collected
【7】a
【8】whose
【9】Another
【10】Further
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了新的研究发现,不仅伤心的事情可以引起心碎综合征,令人开心的事情同样也可以。但还需要进一步的研究来确定这两种事件在中枢神经系统中,是否具有引起Takotsubo综合征的相同途径。
【1】考查动名词。分析句子可知,此处应用die的动名词作为句子主语,故填Dying。
【2】考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词call,故填officially。
【3】考查固定句型。分析句子可知,此处考查固定句型 cause sb./sth. to do sth.“致使某人/某物做某事”,故填to expand。
【4】考查名词。根据a判断,此处应填可数名词单数形式,故填argument。
【5】考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词events,又此处意为“令人高兴的事情,故填delightful。
【6】考查时态。此处是句子谓语动词,结合语境可知“收集”发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故填collected。
【7】考查冠词。此处考查固定表达a total of“总数为”,故填a。
【8】考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是非限制性定语从句关系词,先行词happy heart syndrome在从句中充当causes的定语,应用关系代词whose,故填whose。
【9】考查形容词。句意:另外一个有趣的发现是TTS通常影响女性。根据句意可知,此处用形容词another“另一个的”符合语境,故填Another。
【10】考查比较级。句意:还需要进一步的研究来确定这两种事件在中枢神经系统中,是否具有引起Takotsubo综合征的相同途径。根据句意可知,此处用further studies“进一步的研究”符合语境,故填Further。
