解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在的句子“...roadconditionssentthecarintoaslide.Thevehiclewentoffthewetandslipperyroad”可知,路况不好,路面又湿又滑,这样汽车就打滑。因此可以猜测“treacherous”意思为“危险的”。故选A项。3.HowdidEmilyfeelaboutJack’schange?A.Annoyed.B.Embarrassed.C.Surprised.D.Puzzled.答案 C解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Emilylaterrecalledherterrifyingexperienceandwastrulyamazedbyhiscourage.”可知,艾米莉真的被杰克的勇气惊呆了。surprised与amazed是同义词。故选C项。4.Whatcanweinferaboutthebookmentionedinthetext?A.Itwasonceabestseller.B.ItonceinspiredEmily.C.Itwasintendedforkids.D.Itwasahorrorstory.答案 C解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中关于杰克最喜欢的书TheLittleEngineThatCould的介绍“Init,wheneveryonehadgivenuphope,theLittleEnginecarriedtheheavytoysandcandiesoverthehilltothechildrenwaitingontheotherside.”,通过其中的“theheavytoys,candies,thechildren”等词可以看出,这本书是写给孩子看的。故选C项。BTheterm“quietstress”isgatheringpaceamongexperts,whosayit’sanoftenoverlookedformofthemorewidelyknownversion,whichischaracterisedbyvisibleoutbursts:losingtempers,swearing,shouting,andanger.Wequietlyholdourstresswithin:wedon’tspeakupabouthowwefeel.Andveryimportantly,webecomeinactive.Westayinunhappyrelationshipsandunfulfillingjobs.Wefeeloverwhelmed(被压倒的),yetignoreimportantadministrationtasks.Quietstresscreatesaformofemotionalparalysis(麻痹)thatkeepsus“stuck”inunhappysituations,saysJillianLavender,whorunstheLondonMeditationCentre.CaryCooper,aprofessorofpsychologyandhealthattheUniversityofManchester,likenstheeffectsofquietstresstoshrapnel(榴弹):“Youcanlearntoquietenyourstressresponses,buteventuallythestresswillemerge:aswellasasuppressedimmunesystem,youmaywithdrawsocially,isolateyourselfandbegintoengageinunhealthyhabitslikecomforteatingordrinkingtoomuch.Despitegettingabadrapovertheyears,expressingangerorfrustrationisfarhealthierthan

推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可知,有压力不总是坏事。研究发现,当把压力看作是应对生活的挑战的一个有益部分,而不是需要避免的事情时,你就会更健康、快乐和高效地工作。所以压力有时也是有益的。故选A。8.Whichofthefollowingstatementscandescribestressaccordingtothetext?A.Silenceisgold.B.Lifeisnoteasy.C.Onecoinhastwosides.D.Stressiseverywhere.答案 C解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章阐述了压力的坏处,但同时指出如果能够把压力看作是应对生活挑战的一个有益部分时,那么压力就是一件好事。C项“任何事情都有正反两面”准确地对压力进行了描述。故选C。Ⅳ.完形填空Iusedtobeaveryselfcenteredperson,butinthepasttwoyearsIhavereallychanged.Ihavestartedtothinkaboutotherpeople1Ithinkaboutmyself.IamhappythatIambecominga2person.Ithinkmy3startedwhenIwasatPalomarCollege.Atfirst,Ijustwantedtogetmy4andbeleftalone.IthoughtIwassmarterthaneveryoneelse,soIhardlyever5toanyoneinmyclasses.Bytheendofmyfirstsemester(学年),Iwasreally6.Itseemedasifeveryonebutmehadmadefriendsandwashavingfun.SoItrieda(n)7.Istartedaskingpeoplearoundmehowtheyweredoing,andiftheywerehavingtroubleI8tohelp.Thatwasreallyabig9forme.10theendoftheyear,Ihadmadeseveralnewfriends,andtwoofthemarestillmybestfriendstoday.Abiggercauseofmynew11,however,camewhenItookaparttimejobataVistaNursingHome.OneoldladytherewhohadAlzheimer’sdiseasebecamemy12.EverytimeIcameintoherroom,shewasso13becauseshethoughtIwasherdaughter.Herrealdaughternever14her,soItookherplace.Sheletme15thatmakingothersfeelgoodmademefeelgoodtoo.Whenshedied,Iwas16,butIwasverygratefultoher.IthinkIamamuch17persontodaythanIusedtobe,andIhopeIwillnot18theseexperiences.Theyhave19metocareaboutotherpeoplemorethanaboutmyself.I20whoIamtoday,andIcouldnotsaythatafewyearsago.语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自己从一个自私的人变成现在能为他人着想的人的过程和感受。1.A.beforeB.sinceC.orD.unless答案 A
