Question

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

It is very common for you to find yourself in an unfamiliar situation. 【1】 Yes, everyone tells you to stand on your own two feet and take responsibility for your action, but if you haven’t experienced a situation before, how can you know what to do?

We usually try our best to do everything on our own and not to rely on others, but at certain times calling for help is the best way forward. You can picture the scene of the man—it is usually a man—driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 【2】 And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.

【3】 For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（簡歷）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing(貶低) of you in the eyes of the boss. 【4】

Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 【5】 Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.

A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.

B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

C. There are times when you know you don’t have the relevant experience.

D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.

E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.

F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.

G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】

試題分析：向別人尋求幫助未嘗不是一件壞事，向別人請教在很大程度上會幫助自己成功。

【1】B 根據(jù)下文的but at certain times calling for help is the best way forward.（但是在有些情況下，尋求幫助是最好的前進的方式）所以可以看出，作者的目的是在探討向他人尋求幫助的利好，也是本文的中心論點，所以B項與文本中心最契合。

【2】D 根據(jù)上文的looking for an address he doesn’t know.，故作者在此要拋出一個實際例子來證明他的觀點，即除非他停下來問路，他可以節(jié)省很多時間。選D項。

【3】C 該空位于句首，所以是概括整段內(nèi)容，又根據(jù)后面的具體例子，可以推斷出應(yīng)該是介紹人們做一些不拿手或不經(jīng)常做的事情，故選C。

【4】A 根據(jù)上文的make things worse than they were可以看出，如果在某些情況下不向他人尋求幫助，就會搞砸一些事情。該段是在論述不向他人尋求幫助的弊端，故選A。

【5】F 根據(jù)后文的Making your life easier（使你的生活跟容易），所以這句是說向別人尋求幫助的時候你能得到的好處，故選F項。
