Question

【題目】Arguments happen in every healthy relationship—we know it sounds contradictory, but it’s true—but they can still have a negative impact if they aren’t handled properly. 【1】

Take a breath. We know that it can be hard to think clearly when you are angry, so we would first like to encourage you to try to take a second to collect your thoughts before engaging in a dialogue with your partner. 【2】 If you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship.

Take the situation as it is. Even though you are angry and it can be hard to be objective, try to see the situation for what it is. Do not escalate (不斷惡化) the argument. 【3】 Try to understand the purpose behind the action—if something happened accidentally, you should not treat as if it were done intentionally.

【4】 If you have done something wrong, the best possible option for you is to admit it. Denying something only makes it more hurtful and often your partner will be able to forgive you much more quickly if you are honest.

Set ground rules. After a fight you and your partner can have a heart-to-heart talk of what happened. 【5】 At this point you can set some ground rules for future fights, like not cursing each other or calling each other’s names, which might help reduce the intensity of your fights.

Fighting with someone is never easy. And it’s especially difficult when you are arguing with someone that you care about. Thinking carefully span>and controlling yourself during an argument can help you avoid saying something that could permanently hurt your relationship.

A. Take positive action.

B. Avoid making excuses.

C. Anger can be poisonous.

D. Here is how to maintain good relationship.

E. You can discuss what hurts each of you and how you can move forward.

F. The trick to prevent an argument from destroying your relationship is learning how to fight fair.

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，朋友之間的爭(zhēng)論可能會(huì)影響之間的友誼，文章就這一問題提出了自己的建議。

【1】F 根據(jù)橫線前句but it’s true—but they can still have a negative impact if they aren’t handled properly.可知如果我們不知道如何恰當(dāng)?shù)靥幚砗眠@一點(diǎn)，爭(zhēng)吵會(huì)對(duì)友誼產(chǎn)生不好的影響。橫線句應(yīng)該提出解決這個(gè)問題的方法。F項(xiàng)“The trick to prevent an argument from destroying your relationship is learning how to fight fair.阻止?fàn)幷撈茐奈覀兊年P(guān)系的方法是學(xué)會(huì)如何公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng).”故F項(xiàng)正確。

【2】C 根據(jù)橫線后句If you are not careful you could potentially say what might damage your relationship.如果我們不夠細(xì)心，我們可能就會(huì)說出破壞關(guān)系的話。也就是說要控制好自己的憤怒的情緒。故C項(xiàng)“Anger can be poisonous”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】G 本段的主題是“Take the situation as it is.順其自然”再根據(jù)橫線句后句“Try to understand the purpose behind the action理解行動(dòng)背后的目的”也就是說要搞清楚是否值得與別人爭(zhēng)論。故G項(xiàng)“Ask yourself if this situation is worth arguing about.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】B 根據(jù)橫線后句“If you have done something wrong, the best possible option for you is to admit it.”如果你做錯(cuò)了事情，最好的方法就是承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。也就是說不要為自己的失敗找借口。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【5】E 根據(jù)橫線前句“After a fight you and your partner can have a heart-to-heart talk of what happened.在爭(zhēng)吵以后，你要和同伴進(jìn)行真誠的交流”本句應(yīng)該介紹交流的內(nèi)容，故E項(xiàng)“You can discuss what hurts each of you and how you can move forward.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。
