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
36、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），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
37、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
38、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（looked）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(
39、satisfied)，而不是不高兴（unpleased），失望（disappointed），和绝望（desperate）。12. B 。在短期和长期关系中，伙伴式的爱情都只有中等程度的和满意度相关（associated），涉及（referred），争斗（contended），和冲突（conflicted），显然不合时宜。13. 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
40、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（believed），和希望（hoped）明显不是针对研究，15. B感觉伴侣“与你同在”有助于（make for ）建立良好的爱情关系，take for的意思是把当做.，意味着（means）依赖(depends)通常和for不搭配，构不成一定意义上的短语。16. B不安全感通常伴随着较低的（lower）满意度，而不是较高的（higher），根本没有（no）和很多（much）。17. D有时（就是有些情况下 in some cases）还会导致爱情中的冲突。Environments往往指的是自
41、然环境，state说的是物体所处的物理状态。Air是空气和气氛，明显不符合逻辑。18. B这个发现或许会改变人们对长期关系的一般预期（expectations），观点（views）看上去对，但是这儿不强调人们对爱情的认识，而是能在多大程度上让自己满意，这就是期望或预期，更不是评论（remarks）和陈述（statements）。19. A研究者称，虽然伙伴式的爱情在很多夫妇看来是成功爱情关系的自然发展()阶段，但它实际上可能是一种不必要的妥协。改变(change)，结果（results），选择（choice）不能表达这样的意思。20. C ，它需要（requires）投入精力才能达成。生产（p
42、roduces），满足（satisfies），消耗（consumes）不能表达这样的意思。23640 DCBAB 4145 DDABC 4650 BCDAA 5155 CACDB【解析】3B4D5B6C7A8A9B10B11D12A13B14D15A16A17D18D19B20C21C22B【解析】试题分析：作者在初中时因英语出色而深受老师赏识，由此也产生了对自己的自信。到了高中时候尽管他的成绩时常会得C，但是他却一直深信自己的英语水平。多年后当作者无意中看到当年的成绩单时他才突然意识到人生中重要的不是成绩而是人的自信和态度。3B动词辨析。 A.责骂 ；B.允许；C. 命令；D. 提醒。根据上

50、er来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“兴奋的（excited）”“高兴的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。27与destruction（毁灭）并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。28由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记（be remember with love and respect）”。29由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized可知，是在“遗嘱（will）”中作的安排。30根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。31奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to（对作出贡献）是固定搭配。32这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为：诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理，也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的，我们不妨来意译：好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛，否则他就是行尸走肉，灵魂早已死去。而这句话，则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来，作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。
