9、机生气的，因此本题选meant。40D。结合上下文语境可知，司机不断大喊大叫。41A。考查形容词辨析。她意识到他恼怒得已经不讲道理了。reasonable“讲道理的，有理性的”符合语境。thoughtful“沉思的，思考的”；normal“正常的，平常的”；practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”。42B。考查词组搭配。change ones mind“改变主意/想法”。女商人见此情景，她改变了想法。43B。考查形容词辨析。女商人对司机说自己似乎犯错误了，居然认为司机不是对城市道路最熟悉的人。可知答案为B项，stupid语气太重。44C。考查介词辨析。through“从的一端到另一端，穿过
10、，贯穿”，符合题意。45A。考查对上下文语境的理解。对女商人的突然转变，司机自然是感到“惊奇”的，他不再跟她争论，居然开车送她了。46A。坐在出租车上的自然应是rider“乘客”。47A。考查句型。直到女商人下车付车费，司机一句话也没有再讲。本句考查了句型：not.until.“直到才”。48D。考查词组搭配。be faced with“面临”。此处意为：当你发现自己面对像这位出租车司机那样的人时。49C。考查动词短语辨析。结合下文内容可知，此处意为：当你遇上像上面那位出租车司机那样的人时，你常常试图坚持己见，但是这样只能引起更多的争执，由此可知应选C项，stick to“遵守，坚持”。50B
11、。考查动词辨析。此处指固执己见的后果之一是破坏婚姻。destroy指“毁坏，毁灭，破坏”。51D。易误选C。but强调的是but后面的内容，但本句强调的是one simple method，固可将其排除。而选though则可，指我发现一种简单的方法，虽然不是特别容易做到，但能阻止导致危机。52B。考查词组搭配。result in“引起，导致，以为结局”，符合题意。53C。考查名词辨析。此处意为：关键是要站在别人的立场上。key“关键”，符合题意。54D。考查名词辨析。truth指“真理，正确的因素”。此处意为：关键是要换位思考，要承认对方话语中的某些合理成分。55A。考查动词辨析。先设法认可对

33、y team，too.”也可知D项正确。37C根据上文“I was very slow in the team.”可知，作者几乎总是最后一个完成比赛，故选C项。38A根据下文“Every time I stopped”可知，作者在长跑比赛中总是不得不停下来，故选A项。39B根据上文“作者在长跑比赛中总是不得不停下来”可知，这些比赛是很累人的，再结合下文作者与她朋友的对比“She never got tired and didnt get cramp(抽筋) in her legs.”可知，应选B项。40A这些令人疲惫的比赛以及至少一百人参加比赛的确使作者很紧张。从下文“Even a whole
34、 month before a race，Id get so nervous that I felt like I might give up.”可知A项正确。41D每次作者停下来，就会有10个人超过作者。42B虽然作者讨厌看着他们超过自己，但她仍然无法敦促自己继续下去。43C作者的朋友从不感到累，腿也不抽筋，且由该空下一句可知，作者无法理解为何如此不公平。equal “相等的，平等的”；reasonable“合情理的”；fair“公平的”；tolerable“可容忍的”。44B她跑得很轻松而作者却觉得那是一种折磨。解题时注意while表对比。45D作者从未感到如此没有自信，非常想放弃。con
35、fidence “自信”，符合语境。46C然而，作者没有放弃。though用作副词时，表示“然而”，常用在句末。47A比赛前一个月作者都紧张得想放弃。然而作者拒绝放弃。48D此处指戴着勋章和绶带的大孩子的那个画面仍然在作者的脑海里。49C最终作者意识到，自己面对大赛紧张的原因是她总是担心自己没有准备好。be ready for “准备好(做某事)”。50Btake out “取出”；map out “仔细策划，筹划”；figure out“理解”；let out“发出，泄露”。此处指制订计划，故选B项。51A作者每天锻炼以帮助自己逐渐形成稳定的步伐。根据下文“I stopped only on
36、ce and my pace was much better.”可知，A项正确。52B根据下文“I stopped only once and my pace was much better.”可知，作者所有的锻炼奏效了。set off “出发”；pay off “奏效，取得成功”；get off “出发”；take off “起飞，脱下”。故B项正确。53C虽然真的很难，作者甚至曾想放弃，但她坚持下来了，她为自己感到自豪。be proud of “为感到自豪”。54A作者通过坚持不懈的努力取得了很大进步，向自己表明自己足够坚强，能够继续下去。strong “坚强的，强大的”，符合语境。55D下次作者面临艰难的挑战的时候，她将会知道自己能应对它。challenge“挑战”，符合语境。
