C无论好坏,前面是good,后面自然是Bad,坏,而不是wrong:错,harmful:有害。2. A 字典对这个词的定义是动听的声音,define:定义,think:认为,regard:认为,act:扮演。3. C live ones life 是固定结构,意思是
86、:过的生活。4. A 稿纸自然是空白的,也就是blank, used:旧的,full:满的,deserted:抛弃的,这些不合适。5. D你生活的曲调就取决于你的行为。取决于,就是be up to sb.,准备好(ready),决定(decide),可能(possible),不合适宜6. B 实际上你想让自己表现得很好。表现的好,就是成功的人士,故success,而不是失败(failure),模特(model),和一团糟(mess).7. D 既然出现了问题,要解决问题,从哪开始(begin: 开始)呢?,do:行动,做,write:写, make:制作,明显不行。8. A 后面无论是享受,还

C 后面的骄傲,嫉妒等等都是负面情绪,当然得避免(avoid)了,而不是choose:选择,discover:发现,design:设计。11. A 上述的那些不良情绪都是你和人相处的大敌(enemy),而不是朋友(friends),条件(condition),更不是帮助(help)。12. B据说如果人类消
88、除了这些情绪,世界就会永远和平。It be said that +主语从句:据说,别的无法构成这样的句型。13. C避免这些情绪应该不会太难(difficult),而不是easy :容易,willing:自愿,terrifying:令人害怕。14. D你做的每件事都会在周围人有影响(have an effect on),而不是effort:努力,mark:记号,damage:损害。15. A是喜笑颜开(smile)还是怒气冲冲?都会影响到别人是开心还是难过,cry:哭喊,shout:大叫,talk:谈话,显得不行。16. B 花些时间去倾听(listen to ),而不是攻击(attack),
89、改变(change),采访(interview)。17. A如果他们的生活中有太多的矛盾和别扭,鼓励(encourage)他们用乐观的态度去面对,根本不是打败(defeat),培训(train),停止(stop)。18. B 全世界大多数人都在为和平(peace)而奋斗,而不是为了战争(war),争斗(fight),谈判(talk)。19. C 无论是一家人围坐(seated)在饭桌前,还是国家级领导人围坐着会议桌前,他们的目的是一样的追求和平,总不能被安排(arranged),被达到(reached),被装上(loaded)吧。20. A所以,让我们每个人拿和平,和谐为基调来开创(creat

100、ections)。2. C有钱,但不显摆没人相信,故一位与会人士大叫道(shout):什么?那些家伙肯定在说谎。哭叫(cried),叹息(sighed),大笑(laughed),都不足以说明他的惊讶。3. B目前还没有可靠的方法(measure)来评断富人堆里谁花钱更多:是男性还是女性。数据(data),分离(division),新闻(news)就更不行了。4. B双方都会说对方是个较大的(bigger)花钱者。就两类人没法最大的(biggest),较少的(smaller)不符合常识,较坏的(worse)就更没道理了。5. C由Wilmington Trust、Campden Research
101、和Relative Solution最近联手进行的一项调查证明了上述观点(point)。物质(matter),信息(message),(报道report)显得不伦不类。6. B约有一半的被调查者的财产(money)是继承而来,全文都说的是钱,而不是精神(spirit),习惯(habit),成本(cost)。7. C四分之一得(got)自丈夫,剩下的四分之一是自己赚的。根本不是买来的(bought),更不是抢来的(robbed),后面才说的是自己挣来的(earned)。8. D剩下的四分之一是自己(是多个受调查者当然用themselves)赚的,而不能用它自己(itself),她自己(herse
102、lf),我们自己(themselves)。9. A这与我们对富有(wealthy)女性及其财富来源的调查基本相符。全是对有钱人的调查,而不是穷人(poor),普通人(ordinary),和诚实的人(honest)。10. B 90%是自己当老板开公司赚的,而不是靠挣(earning)工资得来的。不可能是开(making)工资,带走(taking)工资,花(spending)工资就更不对了。11. C至于支出(spending),几乎所有女性(90%)都说自己的支出习惯是量入为出。前文说的是挣钱,这儿是说花钱,而不是买(buying),浪费(wasting),节约(saving)。12. D调查
103、报告中说,这可能是因为(because)她们并不认为自己的极大财富就是成功的全部意义所在。当时候(when),如果(if),是否(whether),明显不适合这儿的语意。13. D女性往往没有男性(men)花钱多,也不会四处宣扬自己。全文都是那男女相比,并不是女的和女的(women),年轻人(youth),还有成年人(adults)比。14. C很多女性也担心财富会对孩子造成不良(bad)影响,而不是严肃的(serious),好的(good),各种各样的(various)影响。15. B所以不希望乱花钱,以免给孩子树立(set an example是固定短语)坏榜样。送(send),做(do)
104、,给(give)都不和an example搭配构成这个意思的短语。16. A与此同时,70%的女性说,她们会在必要的(necessary)时候买好东西,而不是比较不合理的可能的(possible)时候,高兴的(pleased)时候,焦急的(anxious)时候。17. B有93.5%的女性说,买大件的主意(即是决定decisions)都是由她们定,计划(plans),指定(appointments),建议(suggestions)都没用这个更合理,因为是花钱购置东西,是一个行动的结果。18. C这暗示(implies)她们经常花钱买大件。并没有直接这样说,故不是注意到(notices),强调说
105、(stresses),打算(intends)之意。19. B当然,对于真正的大件比如在科罗拉多州买座房子,一架湾流(Gulfstream)私人飞机,一艘Feadship游艇,夫妇两人可能会一起(together)作决定,根本不是远处(away),也一样(as well),出去(out)之意。20. A不过买其他东西(要买的东西就是purchases)的时候呢?你认为男性还是女性的高端花销更多?影响(effects),不同(differences),例子(examples)统统不符合逻辑。Passage 7 Romance does not have to fizzle out(失败) in l

C 浪漫爱情可以持续一生,并且通往更幸福、更健康的关系(friendships),而学问(scholarships),友谊(friendships),伙伴关系(companionships),明显不合适。2. B “很多人以为浪漫(romantic)之爱和激情之爱是一回事,全文说的主体就是浪漫爱情,而不是过分关心的(obsessive),也不是多情的(passionate),
120、更不是陪伴(companion)。3. A激情的或者强迫性的爱情包含了不确定和焦虑的感觉(feelings),无论是那种情都是一种情感感觉,而不是因素(factors),结果(consequences),和障碍(barriers)。4. B这种爱情有助于(helps)驱动的是短期关系而不是长期关系,贡献于(contributes)要和to搭配,阻止(prevent)和加速(speeds)都显得不合适,不能让语意通顺。5. D这些研究结果刊登(也就是出现appear)在美国心理学会出版的普通心理学评论三月号上,而不是发生(occur),拿走(take),写(write)。6. A 以检验(就是找
121、到结果,也就是find out)浪漫爱情是否与更高的满意度相联系,计算出(work out),拿出(take out),取出(bring out)等等不符合语意逻辑。7. B为了证实这一点,他们把每项研究中的爱情关系归类(classified)为浪漫的、激情的(浪漫加上强迫成分)和友谊式的,再分为长期和短期关系两类。Separated:分离,divided:分开,cut:剪开,都不能表示这样的意思。8. C其对象包括18-23岁的单身(就是single)、恋爱中或已婚的大学生,单身是说没有结婚,而不是单独(alone),孤独(lonely),和唯一一个(unique)。9. D他们还看了(lo
122、oked)10个对于长期关系的研究,其对象包括结婚10年或更久的中年夫妇。匆匆一看(glanced),瞪眼看(glared),目不转睛地看(stared),这三个词都与at搭配,但是表示的意思都带有感情色彩,也不符合语意。10. D其中两个研究(studies)同时包括了短期和长期关系,这两组样本是区分开来的。前文用的都是研究,而不是发现(findings),测试(examinations),和实验(experiments)。11. C那些报告出更多浪漫成分的人都对自己的爱情关系更满意(satisfied),而不是不高兴(unpleased),失望(disappointed),和绝望(desp

A而那些报告出较多激情成分的人在短期关系中比(比较和比较的对象之间是被动关系,故用过去分词compared,而不是现在分词comparing)在长期关系中满意度更高。Added(加上)和led(导致),根本就没有比较的意思。14. A对爱情关系满意度较高的夫妇或恋人同时也报告(reported)出较强的幸福感和较高的自尊。前文用的就是report,而说(said),相信(be

137、面可以接时间,继续(continued)看起来对但是没有这样的用法,广播(broadcast),走(went)就更不合适了。2. A 你的演讲不会为人们长时间的记住,但是(but)你可以应用以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。虽然(though),和(and),因此(therefore)等等都不是表转折的意思。3. B你可以应用(就是听从并应用:follow)以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。心理上的接受(accepting),复制(copying),记住(remembering),这些不能使句意通顺。4. A 别使用难以发音(pronounce)的词语,因为是做演讲,所以不能是理解(und
138、erstand),学会(learn),和听(listen)。5. B 避免使用技术专业术语(terms),而不是句子(sentences),发音(pronunciations),和意思(meanings)。6. A 在大脑(minds)中形成思维图画,而不是笔记(notes),话(words),和磁带(tapes)。7. C 上文就说是思维(mental)图画,这儿也是,根本不是智力(intellectual),生理(physical),和视觉(visual)方面的思维。8. C 保存必要的统计数据(statistics),上文已经提到这个,不会是信息(information),概念(term
139、s),和单词(words)。9. A 幽默可能是一条有效的让你的听众高兴(使高兴:amuse)地方法,控制(control),说服(persuade),驾驶(drive),明显不符合常理。10. D 幽默可以缓解听众的紧张(tension),而不是注意力(attention),可怕(terror),悲伤(sorrow)。11. A 就是要确保你的幽默对于你正在对着讲(speaking)的听众是合适恰当的。是讲话,不是涉及(referring),导致(leading),和归功于(owing)。12. B 你的演讲可能将会要么告知要么是说服(persuade)你的听众采取行动帮助福利组织等等。演讲
140、的功能就是告知或者说服(persuade)别人,而不是帮助(help),强迫(force),和困住(trap)别人。13. B 这样一来,你就能看清对于听众来说你看起来将会是怎样的(how),而不是什么(what),为什么(why),更不是在哪儿(where)。14. D 感觉更舒适,就是放松(relax),而不是睡觉(sleep),休息(rest),和让别人舒适(comfort)。15. A 确保比平常(normal)讲话的声音大一些,晚了(later),以前(previous),故意的(intentional)显得不符合语境。16. D 这样一来就能很容易的让全体的听众(audience)
141、听到你的演讲,而非仅仅是前几排。演讲的对象就是听众,而非演讲(speeches),男演员(actors)和朋友(friends)。17. A 记得要放慢(slow)语速,不会是加速(speed),停止(stop),和燃烧(turn)。18. B 你也可以安排提前或在演讲期间把相应的可视材料分发(passed out)给听众,而不是检票出去(checked out),拿出(brought out),和遗漏(left out)19. B 这样一来听众就可以把他们记下的内容带回家去看(就是再看一遍:review),根本不会是卖了(sell),扔了(throw),或者邮寄出去(mail)。20. A
142、记住去感谢(thank)请你做演讲的人,不是去找到(find),教学(teach),帮助(assist)他们。Passage 9 What is Math Anxiety?Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 1 to stage-fright.

The fear that one wont be able to do the 5 or the fear that its too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 6 . For the most part, math anxiety is the 7 about doing the math right
144、, our minds draw a 8 and we think well fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 9 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students.Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?Usua
145、lly math anxiety stems from 10 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 11 poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 12 . Many of the students
146、 Ive encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 13 , the math is quickly forgotten and 14 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with
147、one concept - the division of fractions(小部分). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒数) and inverses. In other words, Its not yours to reason why, just invert(反转) and multiply(乘). Well, you memorized the rule and it 15 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use
148、pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If 16 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures - 17 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 18 will help, but, what if you dont have a good memory. Un

D 这种害怕起因于缺乏自信(confidence),而非愿望(wish),良知(conscience),和毅力(determination)。7. A 数学焦虑就是害怕(fear)做数学,远非高兴(joy),乐趣(pleasure),和怀疑(doubt)。8. C 我们的大脑一片空白(blank)
155、,失败(failure),选择(choice),死亡(. death)明显不能使语境通畅。9. B 我们越是焦虑,大脑一片空白的几率就越大(greater),而不是越远(further),越少(less),越小(smaller)。10. A 通常数学焦虑来自做数学题的不愉快的(unpleasant)经历,不公平(unfair),令人高兴(pleasant),成功(successful),明显不行。11. D 数学焦虑常常是因为(due to)糟糕的教学和糟糕经历。应该是介词短语而不是连词,因为后面是名词故用due to 而不是because,thanks to 通常表示由于好的原因,resul
156、t in的意思是导致,而非因为。12. B 这明显或导致数学焦虑(anxiety),前文都是用这个词,而非害怕(fear),失败(failure),和误解(misunderstanding)。13. C 当一个人不经理解(understanding)而去记忆过程、规则、和程序时,这些数学内容很快就会忘掉,根据常理,理解而记忆的内容不易遗忘,而不是忘记(forgetting),使用(use),和知识(knowledge)。14. A 这样一来,害怕(panic)就会进来。前文就是害怕,绝非兴奋(excitement),失望(disappointment),和鼓励(encouragement)。1
157、5. B 是的你记住了,这就起作用(works)了,而不是打开了(opens),开始了(starts),和跑了(runs)。16. C 如果这不(not)起作用的话,你只是记住了过程,而绝不是是这样(so),可能(possible),和任何(any),这些都不适合这儿的语言环境和作者的思路。17. D 你要是忘了一点怎么办(what if:如果会),这儿不是哪儿(where),为什么(why),何时(when),what if是固定句式。18. A 好的记忆力(memory)是有帮助的,方法(method),大脑(brain),身体(body)显得与前面的不照应。19. B 一旦学生认识到(r
158、ealize)他能学数学,整个担心焦虑都会被克服,远非装填(fill),证实(confirm),和辨认出(recognize)。20.D 老师和家长在确保学生理解数学方面有重要作用(role),而非任务(task),目标(aim),和约定(appointment)。Passage 10 The Chinese New Year is a great holiday to choose to celebrate Chinese culture with your child.
