29、四).1.选Ca failure为“失败的人或事”，而failure意为“失败”时为不可数名词，后半句意为“失败是成功之母”。2选B考查动词词义辨析。句意：在一次车祸中，他严重受伤，而他的父亲则去世了。此处指意外事故造成的伤害，B项最佳。3选Dtrap与其逻辑主语visitors之间是被动关系，且发生在谓语动作were saved 之前，故用过去完成时的被动语态。4选Aexpress ones love意为“表达某人的爱”，符合句意：他用行动表达了他对祖国的爱，这胜过任何言语。5选A考查the way的定语。句意：当今公众非常关心大自然正遭受怎样的破坏。the way表示“方式；方法”时，其后
30、可跟that，in which引导的定语从句，实际应用中关系词常省略；也可跟不定式或of短语，构成the way to do sth.或the way of doing sth.结构。结合以上情况，只有A项符合要求。6选A考查动词短语辨析。前一句提到已经受够了邻居，由此可知我想立刻“终止”他们吵闹的聚会。put an end to sth.“结束某事”，符合语意。7选B考查部分否定与全部否定。“I didnt like either of them.”相当于“ I liked neither of them.”，是完全否定，意为“我哪一个也不喜欢”。8选A考查名词辨析。根据句意可知应选A，tr
31、affic accident 意为“交通事故”。affair“个人的事”；incident“严重事件；暴力事件(如犯罪、袭击等)”；event“重要的事情；大事”。9选C句意：古代罗马是一个其文化影响了西方世界几个世纪的国家。culture和a country是所属关系，故用whose引导定语从句。10选A第一个空用that引导同位语从句，说明news的内容；第二个空用burst into，后跟名词tears，表示“突然大哭起来”，burst into tears burst out crying。11选A动名词作主语表示笼统的、抽象的行为；动词不定式作主语表示具体的、一次性行为。“他”和“受
32、伤”之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式作主语。12选A句意：“玛丽整天埋头于学习和读书中。”“难怪她每次考试都得第一名。” be buried in “埋头于；专心于”。13选Ajudging from为插入语结构，不受句子主语和语态限制，故正确答案只能选A。14选B考查名词辨析。句意：医生确诊这个女孩的伤势最严重，若不立刻采取行动，她就会死于休克和失血。mercy “宽容；怜悯”；shock “休克；震惊”； anxiety “焦虑；担心；不安”； relief “减轻；缓解”。15选C句意：我们跟随的那个人突然停了下来，好像要看看他是否走对了方向。as if to see .的完整形式是
33、as if he was to see .语篇解读：生活中总是有许多令人失望、沮丧和烦恼的时候，但当我们的生活很美好时，为什么要浪费时间去自寻烦恼呢？1选C根据下文内容可知，此处表示“每个人都能看出他们对彼此的爱是真诚的”。2选B本空后面的部分是妻子给丈夫提议的内容，因此答案选B，proposal意为“提议，建议”。 3选D结合下文可知，妻子在杂志上读到的是关于如何巩固婚姻的文章，故答案选D，strengthen意为“加强，巩固”。4选A依据语境，在一张纸上写的内容应该是对方使自己不愉快的事，故答案选A，annoying意为“恼人的，使人烦恼的”。下文“that annoyed them ab
34、out the other”也有提示。5选A商量解决问题的目的当然是使生活更幸福，因此答案选happier。6选D由“So each of them went to a _7_ room and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other”可知，丈夫同意了妻子的提议。7选B根据语境推断，此处指夫妻俩各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。8选C接着他们都在思考这个问题，并且把他们想到的都写下来。fit in with“适合，与一致”；look up to“尊敬，尊重”；come up with“想出，提出”；face up to“敢
35、于面对”。9选Ago over“查看，细看”；carry out“执行，实施”；answer for“对负责”；look for“寻找，期待”。第二天早上，他们决定看看彼此的缺点。10选C既然“It had many items on it”，那么应该是“足足写满了三页”。11选C由下文“Whats wrong？”可推断，此处表示“丈夫的脸上显得有些悲伤”。12选B根据“Nothing”以及下文“The wife continued to read .”可知，此处表示“继续念吧”。13选B妻子又接着念，一直把整整三页向丈夫念完。14选A依据上文内容，妻子向丈夫提议双方各自写出对方的小毛病，目的
36、是使他们的生活更幸福，因此，当她说“现在该你念了，然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点”这句话时，心情是很高兴的。happily“高兴地，愉快地”；miserably“痛苦地，悲惨地”；slightly“轻微地，稍微地”；cautiously“谨慎地，小心地”。15选D由“I dont have anything on my list.”可推知“丈夫觉得妻子这样就很完美了”，因此，答案选D。16选B丈夫觉得妻子很完美，所以他不想尝试来改变她。17选A由“turned her head and wept”可知，妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱所“感动”，因此答案选A。18选C因为丈夫没有写妻子的任何缺点，也不
37、想让妻子为自己改变什么，由此可知，丈夫接纳了妻子的全部。19选D根据连词连接成分对等可知此处填depressed意为“沮丧的，消沉的”。inspired“激动人心的”；excited“兴奋的”；satisfied“满意的”。20选D由“We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty light and promise”可知，该处表示“我们不必浪费时间”，因此答案选waste。kill ones time“消磨时间”。.1选B细节理解题。第二段提到当学生在考前焦虑时，会耗尽自己的注意力和脑子里记忆的东西，从而影响自己在测试中的表现。故B选项符合题
38、意。2选D细节理解题。通过阅读第五至第九段内容可知，研究人员对20位有考试焦虑的大学生的数学测试和学生生物课的表现的两项研究结果一致：学生写下有关考前焦虑的状况有助于提高自己的表现，故选D项。3选A词义猜测题。根据第四段Beilock的话可知，当学生把考前焦虑写下来时，他们会想到最糟糕的情况，然后重新评估情况。这样一来，他们可能意识到并不像他们之前想的那么糟糕，而事实上，这能阻止这些念头在考试时突然出现。4选A推理判断题。通过文章可知Sian Beilock是对人的心理进行研究的人员，故选A项。5选C主旨大意题。本文主要介绍应对学生考试焦虑的一种方法，即考试前把自己的焦虑写出来，能有效减缓焦虑的程度，让学生在考试中表现得更好。故答案为C项。
