31、当“我”听到这句话，不论是从电影，音乐还是从成人的话语中。所以用whether，表示“不论”，与后面的or形成whether . or .结构，表示“不论还是”。2选A根据下文中的“rather than following a practical approach to life”可知，作者认为敞开心扉意味着失去自己的判断而不是遵循人生的实用方法。3选D根据下文中的“my distrust of others”可知，真正的问题是作者对其他人不信任。question指说话者需要解决或解答的问题；problem指被提出的问题，特别指疑难的、困难的问题。结合文意可知选D。4选D从过去的经历(exp
32、erience)看来，打开“我”的心扉意味着给别人机会来影响“我”对自己的感受。5选B此处为定语从句的引导词，从句中的enter为及物动词，且和先行词the dangerous area为动宾关系，所以用关系代词that。6选A根据“I distanced myself from other people”可知，此处表示“我”越长大，就越疏远其他人，distance oneself from .“拉开距离，与疏远”，所以选A。注意：distance oneself from . 已经有了远离的意思，不必再用farther。7选B当“我”看到其他人轻松地(easily)交流，彼此相处融洽的时候，
33、“我”感到忌妒。8选C根据上文中的“communicating and getting on with one another”可知，人们交流、相处的同时分享(sharing)他们的经历和感受，此处为现在分词sharing作伴随状语，因此选择C。9选C根据前文可知，作者拒绝敞开心扉，但是看到其他人的融洽相处时，他开始认为自己想错了。10选D根据前文中的“dangerous area”可知，作者认为敞开心扉是危险的，此处表示作者直到最近才有勇气卸下心防。11选B此处为敞开心扉的具体表现即对人热情、友好，这对大多数人来说是容易的。be friendly to是固定短语，表示“对友好”，所以选择B。
34、12选D但是对于“我”来说，那是“我”不熟悉的事情。something“某事”，故选D。13选A“我”开始意识到“我”需要积极地和其他人建立关系。need to do sth.，“需要做某事”，故选A。14选C根据“even though”可知，尽管“我”对其他人敞开了心扉，但是对于如何做，“我”依旧谨慎。15选A当“我”开始看到其他人多么容易地影响了“我”的时候，“我”的担心成为了现实。have an effect on是固定短语，表示“对有影响”。16选D此处表示许多“我”以前不赞同的观点开始影响“我”。agree with“赞同”，符合语境。17选B尽管这些观点不是“我”自己的，但是它们
35、依旧对“我”的信念产生了影响。belief“信念”，符合语境。18选C根据上文可知，作者此时既太看重自己的个性又太在意和其他人之间培养良好的关系。value“重视，看重”，符合语境。19选B此处表示作者太看重和其他人之间发展良好的关系。develop“发展，培养”，符合语境。20选D根据上文作者遇到的两个方面的矛盾可知，此处表示作者不得不作出改变。change“改变”，符合语境。.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了华盛顿的几个旅游观光点的历史、特点等细节，包括白宫、国会大厦、林肯故居以及国会图书馆。1选C正误判断题。根据第一段的第三句可知，白宫参观者众多，所以需要提前预约。故C项正确。2选
36、C细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，即使你没有票，也可以参观国会大厦的游客中心。故C项正确。3选D细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知，在林肯的故居，你可以了解林肯的废奴思想和美国内战。故D项正确。4选B细节理解题。根据第五段第一句中的“The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings”可知，国会图书馆由三幢建筑构成。故B项正确。5选A推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句可知，花一天时间看完国会图书馆是不可能的；由此可以推知，国会图书馆可参观的内容很多。故A项正确。.1.Theme/Subject/Topic/Title2proved3.considerate/thoughtful4create5.enjoyable/joyful6.enrich7Problems/Difficulties/Worries8.training9.adapt/adjust10.way
