该题为选择型完形填空题，本文的第一句为压力下定义，据此可预测本文与压力有关。这是一篇说明文，阐述了什么是压力，及其后果、利弊、产生原因和排解方式。短文长度适中，共设10个空。选项的设计体现了“三个重视”：重视考生对语篇的理解；重视考生思维的准确性；重视考生对常用词汇的辨析。

31. D 解析：考查形容词辨析。 根据上文的trouble以及下文与空中所缺词并列的 scared, angry 可知只有upset最符合句意。

32. A 解析：考查副词辨析和语法。由句中的than可知需要填入的词应该是比较级，首先排除B、D；再由本句话的前后两句话可知，这三句话说明压力给人的坏处，因而只有more符合题意。

33. D 解析：考查连词辨析和逻辑关系。前面表述的都是压力给人们带来的坏处，而本句的意思为：并不是所有的压力对人们有坏处。因此，上下文为转折关系。只有But符合文意。

34. C 解析：考查语法。一般and前面的结构和句意一致；另由动宾搭配可知只有keep后可跟名词＋形容词结构。故本题选C。

35. B 解析：考查宾语从句的引导词。本句话同后面的一句话构成了一个完整的设问句，由其答语Because they’re stressed out!判断，只有why符合句意。

36. A 解析：考查情态动词表示推测。本句的意思为：生活中有许多事情可能造成心理压力。而这四个词中，can表示“能，会”；need表示“需要”；must表示“必定”；should表示“应该”。故而只有can符合句意。

37. B 解析：考查固定搭配：be good at，故而选B。

38. C 解析：考查动词短语辨析以及其动宾搭配。本段讲述排解压力的方法。故而只有deal with符合文意。

39. D 解析：考查名词辨析和逻辑关系。由句意可知只有diet可以同本句后面的“all kinds of food”相对应。故而选D。

40. A 解析：考查逻辑关系和代词辨析。空中代词应指代your close friends, family members or teachers,只有they符合文意。
