Question

【題目】Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know you think you are a person or a coward （儒夫）. But you'll never really know the answer to this question you are tested in real life. Some people they are brave but when they come face to face with real ，they act like cowards. Other people think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like Lenny Sputnik had always thought of himself as a person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. ，on January 15th，1982，a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into the Potomac， to the woman, and kept her head the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny Sputnik, it was not .

When you are in a very situation and feel afraid, the body automatically（自動(dòng)地）produce a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin（腎上腺素）. adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are to fight or run away. However, when you're absolutely（完全）terrified, the body can produce too much adrealin. When this ，the muscles （肌肉）become very hard and you find you move at all. You are then paralyzed （癱疾）with fear. That is when we're very frightened, we sometimes say we're " petri——fied". This word comes from the Greek word "petros"，which means"stone". We are frightened that we become stonelike.

【解析】

【1】C 根據(jù)后面的or來(lái)判斷應(yīng)該用if來(lái)引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，表示你“是否”認(rèn)為你是一個(gè)勇敢的人……。

【2】A 與后面的a coward相對(duì)應(yīng)，應(yīng)填“勇敢的”。

【3】B 因?yàn)榍懊嬗蟹穸ㄔ~never，相當(dāng)于not，因此選until。not...until表示“直到……才”。

【4】C 根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容，答案只能選think。

【5】D 根據(jù)下文they act like cowards來(lái)判斷，有些人自認(rèn)為勇敢，當(dāng)“面臨危險(xiǎn)”的時(shí)候，舉止卻像懦夫。

【6】C 與上文相反進(jìn)行對(duì)比論證，有些人認(rèn)為自己是懦夫，但當(dāng)遇到危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候，實(shí)際行動(dòng)就像“英雄”一樣。

【7】C 根據(jù)后面兩句中的worried來(lái)判斷，答案應(yīng)該是與懦夫相近的詞，只有“緊張的”人與懦夫意思相近。

【8】C 從上下句來(lái)看是表示時(shí)間的先后，用then來(lái)承接后來(lái)所發(fā)生的事。

【9】D 因?yàn)槊绹?guó)的季節(jié)與中國(guó)的相近，時(shí)間又是元月五號(hào)，所以水是“冰冷的”。

【10】B 根據(jù)上文的不害怕可知，他應(yīng)該是保持“冷靜”，其余選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境。

【11】D 因?yàn)樗�跳入水中，所以是“游”向那位婦女。

【12】C 根據(jù)常識(shí)，人掉在水中，頭應(yīng)該在水“上”能夠呼吸，不嗆水，其余選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境。

【13】D 根據(jù)前面的seventy-eight來(lái)判斷，她不是第七十九個(gè)遇難者，而是獲救了。

【14】A 根據(jù)后面的“害怕”可判斷出答案。

【15】 A 根據(jù)對(duì)后面句子的內(nèi)容的邏輯推理可知，前面應(yīng)是血里如果“有” 了腎上腺素，你就會(huì)感到越來(lái)越強(qiáng)……。

【16】C 根據(jù)上文，血里有腎上腺素，你就會(huì)越來(lái)越強(qiáng)壯隨時(shí)“準(zhǔn)備”搏斗或跑開。be ready to do sth. 是“準(zhǔn)備、樂(lè)意做某事”。

【17】C 根據(jù)上一句話，得出答案：當(dāng)這種情況“發(fā)生”時(shí)，肌肉就會(huì)變得僵硬。這也是醫(yī)學(xué)常識(shí)。

【18】B 根據(jù)上文，肌肉變硬了，結(jié)果你就一點(diǎn)也“不能”動(dòng)了。

【19】D 根據(jù)前后的因果關(guān)系，這是說(shuō)明原因的，why引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，表示“原因”。

【20】D “so+形容詞+that...”是一個(gè)固定結(jié)構(gòu)。
