Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 【1】 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

Experience fear.

I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 【2】 .

Create space.

The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 【3】 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.

Control the breath and feel the fear.

Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展現(xiàn)) in the body. 【4】 .

With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 【5】 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.

C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.

E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

【3】A

【4】G

【5】B

【解析】

試題分析：文章主要講述克服恐懼的幾種方法。

【1】F考查上下文邏輯推理及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)后文Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships.可知，恐懼還會(huì)阻礙我們追求生活中真正重要的東西，比如追逐夢(mèng)想和培養(yǎng)重要的人際關(guān)系。這里also和F中的more than形成了并列的關(guān)系。故選F。

【2】D考查上下文邏輯推理及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)前文Experience fear可知，可以通過體驗(yàn)恐懼來(lái)克服恐懼。與D中的push ourselves to do things that we fear相一致。故選D。

【3】A考查上下文邏輯推理及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)前文的This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it.可知，憑借忽視恐懼是起不了作用的。與A中的fear exists相對(duì)應(yīng)。故先A。

【4】G考查上下文邏輯推理及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)前文的We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展現(xiàn)) in the body.可知，我們?cè)囍�使呼吸更持久一些，感覺展現(xiàn)在身體里的恐懼。這與G中的see fear objectively相一致。故選G。

【5】B考查上下文邏輯推理及語(yǔ)境理解。根據(jù)后文中的For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.可知，在我起床去在一群人面前演講時(shí)，我就會(huì)想象聽眾很可能會(huì)喜歡我的演講，從而我可以成功地完成演講。這與B中的positive outcome相一致。故選B。
