Question

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

     A girl named Jenny once told me about her  16  in the world of Lose-Win during her eighth-grade year before she finally broke  17 :

     My  18  with my mom all started one day  19  she said to me sarcastically (諷刺地) “Wow, you’re surely lively today.” I  20  it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close off from her and never  21  back to her. So every time she would say something  22  I disagreed with her I would just say. “Okay, 23 you want, Mom.” But I really got cold quickly. And my 24 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s  25 ” and then went back to mop the floor.

     “Don’t you ever  26 ?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was  27 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I  28  her bow important it was to me.

     At last I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to  29 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s  30  than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a  31  to her.

     After my blow up, we felt like we were  32  all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the lime. We discuss things now and I always  33  my feelings with her.

     If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic  34  toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be  35  your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Answer 1

16-20 ADBCD 21-25 CABBC 26-30 ACDBB 31-35 ABACD

解析:

16．A。通過(guò)下文看，Jenny講述了自己從忍氣吞聲到最終擺脫出來(lái)的過(guò)程。而在此過(guò)程中，她經(jīng)歷了從妥協(xié)到氣憤以最后跟媽媽理論爭(zhēng)得尊嚴(yán)的過(guò)程。因此，選“徘徊”最能說(shuō)明這個(gè)過(guò)程。

17．D。break free“掙脫；獲得心靈、精神上的解放”，符合最終Jenny爭(zhēng)得自己尊嚴(yán)的結(jié)果。本題不能想當(dāng)然憑搭配關(guān)系去選擇答案。break out“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、爭(zhēng)吵、火災(zāi)等爆發(fā)”；break down“出故障”；break up“破裂、關(guān)系等中斷”。

18．B。從后文看，這兒指的是我跟媽媽的“問(wèn)題、矛盾”的出現(xiàn)。A項(xiàng)“關(guān)系”不符合邏輯，不能說(shuō)我跟媽媽的關(guān)系是從某一天開(kāi)始的。

19．C。when引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的名詞day，作狀語(yǔ)。

20．D。take此處意思是“接受，理解”，此處指我并未真正了解媽媽對(duì)她的諷刺口吻，僅僅是理解了她所說(shuō)的話的字面意義。

21．C。talk back“還嘴，頂嘴”，此處指我決定忍氣吞聲，不跟媽媽頂嘴。

22．A。even if引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，當(dāng)“即使”講，此處意為：即使媽媽說(shuō)的不對(duì)，也不去頂撞她。

23．B。此處指我總是不頂撞媽媽?zhuān)瑡寢屨f(shuō)什么就是什么，因此用whatever“無(wú)論什么”，意即：你說(shuō)什么都行。

24．B。此處指我總是不頂撞媽媽?zhuān)�但�?nèi)心的怒氣在聚集。

25．C。從下文我生氣可知，此處指媽媽敷衍我的話，意為“好啊”，表現(xiàn)出媽媽對(duì)我的學(xué)業(yè)漠不關(guān)心。

26．A。care“關(guān)心，在乎”，此處我在內(nèi)心里發(fā)問(wèn)：媽媽關(guān)心過(guò)我嗎?

27．C。even此處用來(lái)加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明媽媽對(duì)我漠不關(guān)心，意為：她甚至不知道我生氣了。

28．D。此處句子結(jié)構(gòu)是虛擬語(yǔ)氣，假如我告訴媽媽?zhuān)�她�?huì)明白學(xué)業(yè)對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)有多么重要。

29．B。我最后終于爆發(fā)，對(duì)媽媽說(shuō)：“這一切需要改變了�！蔽也荒茉偃虤馔搪暳恕�

30．B。我在申訴：“我忍氣吞聲總比與你發(fā)生爭(zhēng)執(zhí)對(duì)大家來(lái)說(shuō)更容易�！�

31．A。表示媽媽沒(méi)有預(yù)料到我會(huì)這么生氣，而且向她申訴。surprise用作可數(shù)名詞，當(dāng)“令人吃驚的事情”講。

32．B。表示我和媽媽的關(guān)系有了新的“開(kāi)端”。start all over表示“重新開(kāi)始”。

33．A。share ... with ... 與媽媽分享(交流)自己的感情，符合題意和搭配。

34．C。后面的介詞是toward，因此只有選“態(tài)度”才符合題意。

35．D。我最后發(fā)表議論，“忍氣吞聲”，把自己的真實(shí)感情“隱藏”起來(lái)對(duì)健康不利。
