Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】B

【3】E

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】這篇文章講的是如何控制自己的怒火，采用總分的結(jié)構(gòu)。內(nèi)容結(jié)構(gòu)比較清晰，基本上每段的內(nèi)容都比較獨(dú)立，所以只需了解每段的大意，然后對(duì)應(yīng)的去選每道題的答案即可。

【1】因?yàn)榇丝赵O(shè)置在段落之首，且此段是點(diǎn)題之段，所以需要我們仔細(xì)揣摩。由前一句“Becoming angry is something beyond the control of people”知，生氣是人們控制不住的事情。提出“becoming angry”，方便下文引出“controning anger”的主題。F句意為：事實(shí)上，大部分人有時(shí)候會(huì)變得生氣。緊扣前一句“生氣是人們控制不住的事情”。故選F

【2】此空設(shè)置在段落之前，由此文章的結(jié)構(gòu)知，每個(gè)段落前是一句總結(jié)性的話，此句話與段落內(nèi)容息息相關(guān)，且短小精悍，還是祈使句。所以要從A、B、C、里面選擇。再由此段內(nèi)容“The moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry, get away from those circumstances. 當(dāng)你感到你可能要生氣的時(shí)候，避免這種狀況，去思考一些別的能夠讓你開(kāi)心的事情”知選B。

【3】此空也是設(shè)置在段落之中，不過(guò)不是在總結(jié)段或點(diǎn)題段，而是在如何控制憤怒的具體措施段落，就比較好選。先看前面的總結(jié)性話語(yǔ)，“Keep a check on your breathing”，不管我們會(huì)不會(huì)翻譯這句話，至少我們可以看出來(lái)這句話的中心詞是“breathing”,所以我們要選與之相關(guān)的，故選E

【4】此空設(shè)置在段落之首，只能從A、C中選擇了。由段落內(nèi)容“如果你駕駛的時(shí)候，經(jīng)歷了一場(chǎng)”路怒”,你可以安慰你自己這個(gè)人其實(shí)是因?yàn)橐恍┚o急的事，所以才如此匆忙”“Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation”每次，當(dāng)你將要變得生氣的時(shí)候，你都可以這樣告訴自己。故選擇A：用積極的想法安慰自己。

【5】此空設(shè)置在段落之中。由前面總結(jié)性的話語(yǔ)“Look for a support in other people：從別人那里尋求支持”知應(yīng)選D。D的意思是：你也可以從你依賴(lài)的人那里尋求幫助，切合前一句話和段落大意。故選D
