12.ClaustrophobiaClaustrophobia,or fear of enclosed spaces,is one of the most common fears.Claustrophobia can be deep fear or even panic as a result of being in a small space.
Claustrophobia can develop after a troubling childhood experience ( such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game),or from another unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces ( such as being stuck in a lift).(71)DThis response then becomes programmed in the brain,making an association between being in a tight space and feeling anxious or out-of-control.As a result,the person often develops claustrophobia.
According to Mark Powers,Ph.D.,Associate Professor of Psychology at Southern Methodist University,"Claustrophobia is a specific fear and not a type of panic disorder.The primary specific danger forecasts for claustrophobia are that either the person will be trapped or run out of air."
(72)GClaustrophobia symptoms can include:sweating,accelerated heartbeat,upset stomach,passing out,light-headedness,shaking,breathing problem,etc.
Some common situations can cause anxiety in claustrophobia sufferers.The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room,avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car,avoid taking lifts when inside a building,or stand near a door when at a party.(73)E
Claustrophobia can have harmful social and psychological effects,since the patient will often avoid situations in which she thinks she will have an anxiety attack,leading to hiding and sadness.
(74)A According to Dr.Powers,"Exposure treatment,a form of mind-behavioral treatment,usually results in a total reduction in anxiety symptoms if conducted properly."
Flooding is a type of exposure treatment in which the person is exposed to a situation until the anxiety attack passes; a less extreme form of exposure treatment is counter-conditioning.Counter conditioning includes behavior treatment,as the person is taught visualization and relaxation techniques before being slowly reintroduced to the cause situation.
(75)FMedications to help treat claustrophobia include things which help to ease the heart pounding often associated with anxiety attacks.
A.The good news is that claustrophobia is very treatable.
B.The past experience can trace back to the moment of birth.
C.According to some doctors,claustrophobia is worse than the fear of heights.
D.When a person experiences such an event,it can often cause a frightening panic attack.
E.In extreme cases,the very sight of a closed door can lead to feelings of anxiety in a person.
F.Treatment for claustrophobia can also include medication or a combination of several treatments.
G.When a person with claustrophobia finds herself in a restricted space,her body responds in certain ways.

解答 71.D.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game),or from another unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces ( such as being stuck in a lift)"比如被困在一个小空间在一个儿时的游戏中,或来自另一段不愉快的经历与小空间相关的(比如被困在电梯里),可推测这里应为当一个人经历这样的事件,它往往会导致患上幽闭恐惧症;故选D.
72.G.推理判断题.根据文章文章第四段"Claustrophobia symptoms can include:sweating,accelerated heartbeat,upset stomach,passing out,light-headedness,shaking,breathing problem,etc"幽闭症会出现出汗、心跳加速,胃部不适,头晕,颤抖,呼吸问题等症状,可推出这里应为当一个患有幽闭恐惧症的人发现自己在一个有限的空间,她的身体会有一些特定的反应;故选G.
73.E.推理判断题.根据文章第五段"The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room,avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car,avoid taking lifts when inside a building,or stand near a door when at a party"幽闭恐惧症患者在一个房间内会寻找一个出口,避免行驶在高速公路或交通拥挤时,避免电梯,或在一个聚会上站在门附近;可推测在极端的情况下,一个封闭的门的视觉会导致一个人的焦虑情绪;故选E.
