【语篇导读】 本文是一则寓言故事。一棵树因其丑陋的外形而受到其他树木的嘲笑,但也因其丑陋的外形而免遭砍伐。这个故事告诉我们任何事物都有其两面性。
1.A.fond B.proud C.aware D.ashamed
解析 考查语境理解。下文中提到这些外形漂亮的树嘲笑外形丑陋的树,从而可判断出他们很骄傲自大,所以选用proud。be fond of “喜欢……”,be proud of“以……为自豪”,be aware of “意识到……”, be ashamed of “对……感到惭愧”。

答案 C

解析 考查生活常识。树木可以为旅行者提供树荫也可以让鸟儿在其树干上筑巢,此处表示丑陋的树认为自己既不能为旅行者提供树荫也不能让鸟儿在其树干上筑巢,所以选A。
答案 A
9.A.Somebody B.Anybody C.Nobody D.Everybody

答案 B
15.A.useful B.valuable C.fearless D.useless
解析 考查形容词辨析。useful“有用的”, valuable“贵重的,很有用的”,fearless“大胆的,无畏的”,useless“无用的”,根据下文可知在伐木工看来这棵弯曲的树没有什么用,
- 9 -
所以选D。
答案 D

体裁:说明文 话题:博客 时间:10分钟
The following is a blog post by an expert in mental analysis on how to protect yourself from failure—after the setback(挫折).
No one can avoid one setback or another,and there's no doubt that suffering a setback is difficult.This reaction differs for each person,but the major setbacks for most people are similar:divorce,losing your job,business difficulty,or bankruptcy.If a setback has left scars(伤痕) on you,it becomes a failure.When it doesn't scar you,a setback is a useful experience and turns into an opportunity if you have the psychological power to protect you from failure.
For most of us,preventing future failures is something we pay little attention to.Our focus is on how to overcome immediate challenges.Therefore,when a setback actually does occur,we are open to negative emotions.The more a setback feels like a failure,the more likely it is to scar you.You become more careful of risk,sometimes to the point of actual anxiety.You feel a range of emotions from guilt and shame to anger and fear.You keep wondering “What did I do wrong?” and “Why did this happen to me?”
So it is realistic to accept we are hurt and make full use of the psychological power inside us,thus preventing scars falling on us.Here's a general guide.
Before a setback
1.Have a good support group around you at work.
2.Communicate with your family or partner.
- 9 -
3.Don't carry the whole burden by yourself but share your feelings with others.
4.Identify with core values(核心价值观) that support your sense of worth.
5.Build your self-respect.
6.Develop interests outside work.
After a setback
1.Give yourself room to be sad over the loss.Healing takes time.
2.Don't hide from your pain.Denying makes healing take longer.
3.Notice the signs of depression and seek help for them.
4.Spend least possible time regretting.
5.Find a trustworthy friend who has survived the same setback to talk with.
6.Change your plan for the future in a positive way.
These points are all action steps;they get you moving.It's unfortunate that the most common way of dealing with crisis is to watch more TV and play more video games.Everyone has an emotional set point that returns to normal,usually within six months.Even so,recovery isn't the same for everyone.At one extreme are people defeated by a setback,who accept and believe “I'm a failure.”At the other extreme are people who say they thrive__on__stress and only want to fight harder when they go down.Most of us fall somewhere in the middle,and therefore we shift between discouragement and hope,self-disparagement(自贬) and self-belief.
Most men feel it necessary to move on as a first response to setbacks.Something bad has happened to them,so they are determined to find something good as a remedy(补救).The response is good,but what gets ignored is the inner disturbance created by a setback.You can be cheated out of a hundred dollars and feel enormously angry,or you can lose a million dollars honorably and walk away from it a better person.The choice is yours,and it depends on how much attention you pay to building a self.This is a lifelong project,which is the most valuable thing you can do for yourself and others.Someone who is successful at building a self doesn't fear the ups and downs,because he has an unshakable foundation in the true self.
