3、re up against the wall,...we come up with superhuman strength.”? Where do the “superhuman strength”,courage and quick thinking come from?Experts say they come from stress!In stressful situations,the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action.These chemicals give people the speed and str

4、ength they need to fight danger or run from it. When we think of stress,we usually think of its negative effects.Studies,though,show that moderate (適度的)levels of stress are actually helpful.In fact,the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel. Stress causes the brain to r

5、elease adrenalin (腎上腺素),which in turn increases our energy and excitement.This is why some people say they work better under a deadline. If adrenalin is not released for long periods of time,people can feel bored and lazy.But some stress actually increases and strengthens our abilities instead of w

6、eakening them.We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit.Stress can also make us more confident.Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future.Who knows?Today’s stress may even prepare us for the next polar bear that c

A.we are nervous B.we face the bear C.we are in a dangerous situation D.we stand against the wall 答案C 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。上文莉蒂亞勇斗北極熊的故事是此句語意依托的背景,因此可推斷C項(xiàng)正確。 3From the pass

12、snowpreparesusforhandlingserioussituationsinthefuture.Whoknows?Today’sstressmayevenprepareusforthenextpolarbearthatcomesalongourway!”可知現(xiàn)在的壓力可能對(duì)將來的情況有很大意義,所以說平時(shí)有一定壓力是必要的。 B One morning,Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.She asked Ann if she could ke

13、ep an eye on the dog.Ann said that she could watch it only for the day. Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(傳單),and put them in mailboxes.Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies,warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.At the time,A

14、nn’s son Thomas was 10 years old,and Jack,who was recovering from a heart operation,was 21 years old. Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog,whom they had started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon

15、as she opened the door,Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering a heart attack.Riley ran over to Jack,but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent. “If it hadn’t come to get me,the doctor said Jack would have died,”Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this poi

16、nt,no one had called to claim the dog,so Ann decided to keep it. The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying,and told him,“That dog saved my friend’s son.” Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog,and saw

17、Thomas and Jack crying in the window.After a few moments Peter said,“Maybe Odie was supposed to find you,maybe you should keep it.” 6What did Tracy do after finding the dog? A.She looked for its owner. B.She gave it to Ann as a gift. C.She sold it to the dollar store. D.She bought some food for

18、 it. 答案A 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“SheaskedAnnifshecouldkeepaneyeonthedog.”以及第二段第一句可知,當(dāng)翠西發(fā)現(xiàn)小狗之后,想讓安幫忙照看,而她給狗拍照并印發(fā)傳單投入郵箱,故只有A項(xiàng)正確。 7How did the dog help save Jack? A.By breaking the door for Ann. B.By leading Ann to Jack’s room. C.By dragging Jack out of the room. D.By attending Jack when Ann was out. 答

19、案B 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知,當(dāng)安回家時(shí),小狗朝她叫,然后沖到男孩們的房間,在那里安發(fā)現(xiàn)杰克的心臟病犯了。 8What was Ann’s attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4? A.Sympathetic.　　　　　B.Doubtful. C.Tolerant. D.Grateful. 答案D 解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段安跟當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙說如果不是這條狗引導(dǎo)她進(jìn)入杰克的房間,杰克就沒命了。由此可知安對(duì)這條狗是懷有感激之情的,故D項(xiàng)正確。 9For what purpose did Peter call Trac

20、y? A.To help her friend’s son. B.To interview Tracy. C.To take back his dog. D.To return the flier to her. 答案C 解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句“PeterdrovetoAnn’shousetopickuphisdog...”可知彼得開車來到安家來認(rèn)領(lǐng)他的狗。因此C項(xiàng)正確。 10What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph? A.It would be given to Odie. B.It wo

21、uld be kept by Ann’s family. C.It would be returned to Peter. D.It would be taken away by Tracy. 答案B 解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“...Petersaid,‘MaybeOdiewassupposedtofindyou,maybeyoushouldkeepit.’”可知,彼得最終讓這條狗留在了安家。故B項(xiàng)正確。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分,滿分30分) Some people claim to be suffering and say they want to c

Wanting to change is t

27、entually C.otherwise D.sometimes 答案C 解析從本句前的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“Yet”可以看出本句要表達(dá)的意思與首句相反,因此選otherwise。 12A.sadness B.opinion C.fear D.way 答案A 解析由句中的“because”一詞可以看出這句話是因果關(guān)系的復(fù)合句,而能夠贏得同情的工具應(yīng)該是“悲傷”,故選A項(xiàng)。 13A.insist on B.begin by C.engage in D.try out 答案B 解析結(jié)合下文“Wantingtochangeisthefirststepandthesecondstepis...

28、”可知此處句意為:那些想改變自己的人應(yīng)該首先問問自己:“我是不是真的想改變呢?”所以此處填beginby“以……開始”。insiston“堅(jiān)持”;engagein“從事,參與”;tryout“試用”。 14A.change B.advice C.responsibility D.fault 答案C 解析從“Weshouldknowweareresponsiblefor...”可以看出改變的第二步應(yīng)該是承擔(dān)責(zé)任。accept在此是“承認(rèn),承擔(dān)”的意思。 15A.prefer B.repeat C.stop D.regret 答案C 解析分析上下文句意應(yīng)為:承擔(dān)責(zé)任就意味著我們要“

29、停止”把我們的痛苦歸咎于別的人或事上。 16A.reasons B.help C.sympathy D.excuses 答案D 解析本句和前一句意思相似,都是對(duì)“weareresponsibleforourhappiness”的解釋,所以句意應(yīng)為:我們不能再尋找“借口”了。 17A.professor B.explorer C.trainer D.architect 答案D 解析從下文內(nèi)容“Hebuilds...”這個(gè)實(shí)際行動(dòng)可以看出,本句的意思是:每個(gè)人都是自己生活的“建筑師”。 18A.only B.just C.generally D.simply 答案B 解析為

30、了表現(xiàn)他前后態(tài)度的反差之大,在此處應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)出“正是”他想要的樣子,只有just有“正好,恰好”之意。 19A.However B.Therefore C.Usually D.Moreover 答案A 解析他按自己喜歡的方式去建,建成之后又不喜歡了,可見前后意思是轉(zhuǎn)折的,所以用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的副詞however。 20A.as well as B.instead of C.for the purpose of D.as a result of 答案B 解析結(jié)合上下文可知當(dāng)他變得反復(fù)無常時(shí),他就去怪罪其他人或別的事情,“而不是”改變自己。 21A.Something B.Everyth

31、ing C.Nothing D.Anything 答案C 解析until意為“直到……時(shí)(為止)”。此處句意應(yīng)是:只要我們不改變自己,就什么都不會(huì)改變。 22A.In a word B.That is C.As a result D.In addition 答案B 解析此處“wehavetochangeourthoughts,beliefs,andviews”是對(duì)前一句話的解釋,進(jìn)一步說明了我們要改變自己的哪些方面。在這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,thatis(tosay)用于對(duì)前一句的解釋,意為“whichmeans...”。inaword用于對(duì)前面內(nèi)容的總結(jié);asaresult意為“結(jié)果”;

32、inaddition意為“此外”,用于并列關(guān)系。 23A.qualified B.quick C.competent D.able 答案D 解析結(jié)合上下文,當(dāng)我們明白了要先改變自己以后,我們才能夠進(jìn)步,而able強(qiáng)調(diào)擁有某種能力,在此符合語境。qualified意為“具備……的學(xué)歷(或資歷、知識(shí)、技能)的,符合資格的”,指具備職務(wù)、職位或任務(wù)所需的適當(dāng)?shù)馁Y格和能力等;competent意為“有能力的,足以勝任的,稱職的”,指完全具有滿足某專業(yè)所要求的知識(shí)、技巧、條件等,完全能夠勝任某項(xiàng)工作。 24A.knowledge B.information C.opinion D.learn

33、ing 答案A 解析knowledge意為“知識(shí),認(rèn)識(shí),知曉,了解”;information“信息”,指?jìng)€(gè)人從他人、書本、觀察、實(shí)際中所得來的知識(shí)或信息,常指零碎的知識(shí),亦有“資料,情報(bào)”之意;opinion指對(duì)某事的具體看法或意見;learning“知識(shí),學(xué)問”,指通過刻苦鉆研后獲得的反映客觀事物的系統(tǒng)知識(shí)。此處指對(duì)人性了解很少,應(yīng)用knowledge。 25A.effortless B.endless C.fruitless D.aimless 答案C 解析結(jié)合上文可知他的努力應(yīng)該是“毫無成效的”,所以此處用fruitless。effortless“不費(fèi)力的”;endless“

34、無窮無盡的,不計(jì)其數(shù)的”;aimless“無目的的”。 26A.hurried B.long C.forced D.sincere 答案D 解析從句意來看此處應(yīng)該填入一個(gè)表示褒義的形容詞,sincereattempt“認(rèn)真的嘗試”,在此符合句意。 27A.need B.expect C.demand D.produce 答案B 解析結(jié)合下文“Theywanttosee...”可知此處應(yīng)該填入expect“期待”。 28A.natural B.immediate C.personal D.distinct 答案D 解析根據(jù)上文“toosoon”,可知此處用distinct

35、“明顯的”最合適。immediate與overnight意思重復(fù)。 29A.unless B.while C.once D.whether 答案C 解析once意為“一旦……就”,引導(dǎo)狀語從句。句意:一旦他們不能立即看到變化,他們就會(huì)放棄。unless意為“如果不,除非”;while意為“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”,從句的謂語動(dòng)詞必須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞;whether意為“無論”或“是否”。 30A.behavior B.decisions C.spirit D.words 答案A 解析根據(jù)前面的“thoughts”和“feelings”可以推斷出后面的空應(yīng)選behavior。 Ⅲ.語篇填空(
