74、on his own feet.分析：这是一个主从复合句。troubled by.woods在句中作原因状语，he could stay with.own feet为省略了that的宾语从句。译文：但是由于担忧Prather在寒冷的树林中过夜，Gilleece告诉少年他可以和自己与自己的家人住在一起，直到他能够自立。【习语积累】1.be on the case处理事件(尤指刑事侦查)We have two agents on the case.我们有两名探员在侦察此案。2.stand on ones own(two) feet自立，独立When his parents died he had
75、to learn to stand on his own two feet.他的父母去世后他不得不学会自立。4C考查细节理解。第一段说“she went to sit on a bench outside.and put something in his pocket”，由此可知Gilleece查看视频发现有个少年在这位女士坐过的长凳上捡到这个钱包，所以这位女士是在等车的时候把钱包落在了长凳上，因此选C。5A考查推理判断。第三段说，警方希望Gilleece能把少年带去警局，但是Gilleece给警方打电话说“他明天会和我一起去码头”，第四段接着说，Gilleece请的两名潜水员在Prather
76、扔掉钱包的水域寻找，由此推断，他带Prather去码头的目的是找到被Prather扔掉的戒指。6D考查细节理解。第四段谈到“Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar”，即Gilleece告诉Prather可以到自己家里住宿，直到他能够自立，并让他在自己的酒吧里工作，由此可知选D。7B考查标题判断。本文讲述一个少年捡到钱包并因此陷入困境，酒吧老板帮助该少年脱离困境开始新生活的故事

86、their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards，said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal.(Para.3) 分析：本句主句主语是those，谓语是worked，said。 who kept their mouths shut是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词those；when ausked afterwards是过去分词短语作时间状语；they felt they had a long w
87、ay to go to achieve their goal是省略了that的宾语从句，作said的宾语。 译文：最终，那些保持沉默的人平均工作了整整45分钟，当后来被问到时，他们说他们觉得要实现目标还有很长的路要走。8A考查推理判断。根据画线词组后一句“The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that its already done”并结合画线词组所在句可推知，social reality在此处意为“目标的完成”。9C考查细节理解。根据最后一段最后两句“Finally those who kept their mouths shut.to ac
88、hieving their goal”可知，Peter Gollwitzer想告诉我们：没有说出目标的人工作时间更长，工作更努力。10D考查细节理解。根据最后一段的内容可知，Peter Gollwitzer把所测试的对象分成两部分，一半说出自己的目标，一半没有说出目标，每个人都给了45分钟，他们可以随时停止；试验表明，没有说出目标的人平均工作了45分钟，而说出目标的人平均工作33分钟，由此可知，Peter Gollwitzer是通过进行比较测试来证明他的观点的，故选D。11C考查推理判断。根据第一段的内容，尤其是最后一句中的“because that good feeling will mak
