【参考答案】
1.【答案】D
【解析】空格后的“It is only a test.”是对填空处的强调,所以空处句子与 test 有关,分析选项可知只有D项提到了 test。因此,正确答案是D。
2.【答案】C
【解析】由空格后的“However, if you regard a problem as a test ...”可知,填空处句子与 problem有关,且与空格后的句子是转折关系,A项提到了problems,但是句子最后是逗号,故排除,C项“Maybe you have many problems in your daily life.(也许你在日常生活中有很多问题。)”符合上下文语境及语法。因此,正确答案是C。
3.【答案】E
【解析】由空格前的“It is a time when you are probably in a very hard journey.”可推测,只有一切都解决好了,你才可能快乐,E项“The only time you are likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right.(你唯一可能开心的时候就是一切都进展顺利的时候。)” 符合上下文语境。因此,正确答案是E。
4.【答案】A
【解析】空格后的内容是直接引语,且与problem有关,所以A项“Rather than worrying about your problems, just ask yourself,(与其担心自己的问题,不如问问自己)”符合上下文语境与语法。因此,正确答案是A。
5.【答案】B
【解析】最后一段和第一段中的“It is only a test. If you face life at ease (从容地), you will know where to go and what to do.”形成呼应,所以B项“Just face it at ease.(坦然面对吧。)”符合上下文语境。因此,正确答案是B。
6.【答案】unhappy
【解析】根据上文“Nobody can be happy all the time.”可知填空处所在句表示“有时你可能会不开心。”括号提示词是happy“开心的”,加上否定前缀un-变为unhappy“不开心的”。因此,正确答案是unhappy。
7.【答案】to have
【解析】It’s+形容词+to do sth.为固定句式。因此,正确答案是to have。
8.【答案】how
【解析】填空后说“你可以从杰夫身上学到一些东西”,下一段介绍的是Jeff解决情绪问题的方式,所以填空处所在句表示“如果你不知道如何解决这些问题……”,且____8____ to solve these problems作动词know的宾语,how“怎样;如何”,表示方式,后可跟动词不定式短语在句子中作宾语。因此,正确答案是how。
9.【答案】death
【解析】空前是名词所有格brother’s,后跟名词,die的名词形式是death。因此,正确答案是death。
10.【答案】Instead
【解析】Jeff没有和他的朋友踢足球或去看电影,他只是坐在自己的卧室里,不和任何人说话,所以,“坐在自己的卧室里,不和任何人说话”是替代“和朋友踢足球或去看电影”的事情,再结合已给的首字母I可推测,此处应填Instead“代替;反而”。因此,正确答案是Instead。
11.【答案】felt
【解析】根据语境及空后的was可知此处时态为一般过去时,feel的一般过去式是felt。因此,正确答案是felt。
12.【答案】angry
【解析】根据上文中的提示“Jeff almost went mad after his elder brother’s …”可知这里要填的词与mad“气愤的”表达的词义相近,再结合已给的首字母a可知应填angry。因此,正确答案是angry。
13.【答案】longer
【解析】根据句子中的doesn’t、any及括号中的long可知此处是not … any longer结构。因此,正确答案是longer。
14.【答案】parents
【解析】根据上文的“… didn’t talk to anyone, even his parents …”可知此处指他的父母,要用复数形式。因此,正确答案是parents。
15.【答案】himself
【解析】上文说Jeff在他哥哥刚去世时,会待在卧室里不和任何人说话。不和任何人说话,应该是独自待着,所以此处是指“他不再独自待在房间里”。by oneself“独自地”,符合语境,括号提示词是he,所以填himself。因此,正确答案是himself。
