【答案】

【1】E

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：我們通常認(rèn)為生氣是非理性的行為，是消極情緒，但是，有研究發(fā)現(xiàn)生氣這一行為也有著其積極的一面。

【1】E 根據(jù)后一句But like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects.可知生氣也有自己的目的，而且生氣也會(huì)有好的影響。句中的but說明橫線這句應(yīng)該在說明生氣的不好之處，選項(xiàng)中只有E項(xiàng)“Most of us treat our anger as though it's unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.”敘述的是anger的不好的方面。故E項(xiàng)符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】B 根據(jù)前一句In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force.生氣本身就是一種積極的能量，也是一種有力的推動(dòng)力。那么橫線這一句是在敘述anger給人們帶來的好處，B項(xiàng)“Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.”在面對(duì)困難和問題的時(shí)候，生氣可以推動(dòng)我們前進(jìn)。故選B。

【3】D 根據(jù)本段抵御It may sound like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people.可知橫線這句話聽起來很奇怪，但是生氣的人和開心的人有一些共同之處。選項(xiàng)中D項(xiàng)“Angry people are more optimistic.”生氣的人往往會(huì)更加樂觀。符合上下文，只有樂觀的人和開心的人才是一類人。故選D。

【4】A 根據(jù)前一句The problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong.可知如果我們總是隱藏我們的憤怒，不讓我們的同伴知道他們所犯的錯(cuò)誤。長(zhǎng)期以來對(duì)我們之間的關(guān)系是沒有好處的。因?yàn)檎嬲�的好朋友就�?yīng)該讓對(duì)方知道自己所做的事情是對(duì)還是錯(cuò)誤。所以A項(xiàng)“And that doesn't do our relationship any good.”正確。

【5】G 根據(jù)橫線前兩句Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives.憤怒可以讓我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的錯(cuò)誤，我們才會(huì)做出改變，才可以學(xué)會(huì)如何改善我們的生活。所以G項(xiàng)“Anger can encourage self-change.”“憤怒可以鼓勵(lì)自我改善”符合上下文串聯(lián)。
