However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.2The moment you feel there are chances of you being angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you bee angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.Keep a check on your breathing.3By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.4For example, if youre experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.Look for a support in other people.5It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After youre done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that youll feel much better than before.A. Talk to yourself positively.B. e to a stop as soon as you are angry.C. Try to see the situation in a different light.D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.E. What you can do when you bee angry is to breathe deeply.F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other bee angry.G. You can imagine going to a place you consider to be calming as well as relaxing.【文章大意】生氣傷身，但是每個(gè)人不可避免地會(huì)生氣。如何控制生氣呢？本文給出了四項(xiàng)有效措施：生氣時(shí)停一停；生氣時(shí)深呼吸；生氣時(shí)自嘲；尋求別人的幫助等。1.F 【解析】根據(jù)下文Being angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical.可知，生氣對(duì)精神和身體都有很大壞處，接著講述了控制生氣的方法，因此推斷F項(xiàng)“實(shí)際上，幾乎所有的人都有可能在某一時(shí)刻會(huì)生氣”符合語(yǔ)境。故選F。3.E 【解析】根據(jù)段落標(biāo)題和空格下文By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly.可知，生氣時(shí)調(diào)整呼吸，通過(guò)控制呼吸的過(guò)程，減慢生氣，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“breathe”可知E項(xiàng)“生氣時(shí)你可以做深呼吸”符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。4.A 【解析】空格處為段落標(biāo)題。本段通過(guò)一個(gè)例子，當(dāng)你開(kāi)車(chē)路怒的時(shí)候，你可以告訴自己超過(guò)你的那個(gè)人可能有緊急事情感激你的車(chē)沒(méi)有發(fā)生什么大事，生氣的情況下多重復(fù)幾遍這個(gè)過(guò)程。因此推斷本段建議生氣時(shí)積極的自言自語(yǔ)。故選A。5.D 【解析】根據(jù)段落標(biāo)題Look for a support in other people.可知，本段建議生氣時(shí)尋求別人的支持，support與D項(xiàng)中提到的“help”一樣相近，因此推斷D項(xiàng)“你可以嘗試向你信賴(lài)的人尋求幫助”符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。at an end 結(jié)束；終結(jié)(1)(2)(3)end up with 以結(jié)束end up doing something 以做某事結(jié)束； 最后處于end in sth 以結(jié)束(教材原句)It seemed as if the world was at an end!仿佛到了世界末日！At first he refused to accept any responsibility but he ended up apologizing (apologize)最初他拒不承認(rèn)有任何責(zé)任，到頭來(lái)還是道了歉。At_the_end_of (在末)the meeting，the general manager said in a loud voice，“Weve tried hard to solve the financial problem，and in_the_end (終于)

out為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以加been。解析：vary是動(dòng)詞，用副詞修飾，所以用widely。解析：這是陳述事實(shí)，用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，將supported改為support。解析：and表示并列，此處句意為選擇而非并列，故用or。解析：keep pany陪伴，陪同。解析：由句意得此處主語(yǔ)為students，所以為they。 解析：fun為不可數(shù)名詞，無(wú)復(fù)數(shù)形式所以將funs改為fun。 解析：student和interview為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用ed形式作定語(yǔ)。解析：whether引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，而文中是陳述一個(gè)事實(shí)所以將whether刪掉或者改為that。解析：accustom固定搭配be

keeping the relationship alive is 23,870. According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not e cheap with devoted pals blowing 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艱難時(shí)刻) like the breakup of a relationship. Theres a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage. The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking. The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to pare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”【文章大意】最好的朋友也許是無(wú)價(jià)的，但維持一段友誼卻是高價(jià)的。那么你知道維持一段友誼需要多少錢(qián)嗎？一項(xiàng)研究給出了答案。【長(zhǎng)難句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艱難時(shí)刻) like the breakup of a relationship.(第二段第二句)分析：本句為復(fù)合句。while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on為讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。主句為bighearted Britons go the extra mile.relationship。譯文：雖然在朋友哭泣時(shí)成為朋友的依靠不需要花費(fèi)什么，但是慷慨大方的英國(guó)人會(huì)為朋友付出更多，他們會(huì)花168英鎊來(lái)為朋友買(mǎi)能令人振作的物品，助其度過(guò)諸如關(guān)系破裂等困難時(shí)期。1 What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?AAmbitious. BGenerous.CTroublesome. DEnergetic.答案與解析：B考查詞義猜測(cè)。畫(huà)線(xiàn)部分后的“go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艱難時(shí)刻) like the breakup of a relationship”就是對(duì)它的進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。此處指雖然在朋友哭泣時(shí)成為朋友的依靠并不需要花費(fèi)什么，但是英國(guó)人會(huì)為朋發(fā)付出更多，他們會(huì)花168英鎊來(lái)為朋友買(mǎi)令人振作的物品，助其度過(guò)諸如失戀等困難時(shí)期。畫(huà)線(xiàn)部分的意思應(yīng)該是“慷慨的”，故選B。2. To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money?ABuying birthday presents.BCheering up a friend in low spirits.CPaying for holiday gifts and other treats.DGoing a particular distance to visit friends.答案與解析：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“blowing 4,679 on birthday presents”“spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“242 spent on presents.from gifts bought on holiday to treats.”“spend a whopping (巨大的)18,000 on travel to see each other”可知，為了維持一段友誼，花在旅途中的費(fèi)用是最多的，所以選D。3. What is Natashas understanding of BFF friendship?AIts costly and unaffordable.BIts expensive but worthwhile.CIts rewarding but hard to keep.DIts changeable but worth possessing.答案與解析：B考查觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost.”可知，Natasha認(rèn)為，經(jīng)受得起時(shí)間考驗(yàn)的友誼通常是我們?nèi)松凶钪匾臇|西，但那是要付出成本的。也就是說(shuō)與一生的摯友的友誼很貴但很值得。所以選B。4. How is the passage developed?ABy listing figures.
