26、r。3that此处考查so.that.句型。句意为：但是我们常常眷恋着那道关上了的门，而看不见另一道已经为我们打开了的门。4who引导定语从句，先行词是someone，在定语从句中作主语，指人，故用who。5what引导表语从句并在从句中作表语，故用连接代词what。6happiest由后文的“the best of.”可知，这里用形容词最高级，表示“最幸福的人”。7necessarily修饰动词have，作状语，要用副词。8comes由前面的have，make等谓语动词可知，用一般现在时；又因该定语从句中的主语that是替代先行词everything的，而everything是第三人称单数，
27、故填comes。9forgotten因past在这里是名词，前面需要定语；又因past与forget是被动关系，故用过去分词forgotten作定语。10around表示“在周围”，用介词around。且此空所在句子与最后一句形成对照，由 “everyone around you is crying”也可知应填around。二、最近的心理学研究发现，人们对“温暖”或者“寒冷”的感受可以改变人们的情感。1C细节理解题。由文章第一段的第三句话可知，温暖的感觉激发温暖的情感，而冷饮在手则会阻止你做出不明智的决定，因此可以说明一个人的情感可能会受到冷的感觉的影响。2B细节理解题。在试验中，猴子喜欢去靠
