‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题七选五类型模拟试题10篇训练之十七 ‎[一]‎ How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions Habitually poor decisionmaking is actually common in teenagers. Naturally, such a habit makes parentteen cooperation difficult, especially when a parent wants his teen to do what a “responsible adolescent” would do. A poor decisionmaking teenager can never run away from his responsibilities.__16__ ‎ Distinguish real problems from acts of pure “teenagerism”. Teens often make poor decisions simply because they don’t have the experiences. By making small and harmless mistakes, like a recentlydeveloped habit of careless consuming, a teen learns good decisionmaking skills on his own via selfcorrection.__17__ Don’t think the teen is making bad decisions just to challenge you. It’s more likely it is out of a real inability to determine what’s best for him.‎ ‎__18__ Tell your teen you understand his decisions while simply emphasizing that you don’t have to agree with his decisions or treat his views as valid. By not judging his opinions, tastes　or style, you are opening the road to better communication and problemsolving opportunities.‎ Set clear expectations.__19__ For example, if your teen refuses to study for his math final because “math is pointless”， explain that you expect him to perform well in school, even in the “pointless” classes. Because you’ve already tolerated his opinion without trying to change his viewpoint, you two can easily agree that math isn’t so useful, yet avoid saying “Let’s just give up on math, then.”‎ Find a middle ground. Trade insignificant freedoms, such as clothing style for the promise that he’ll live up to academic and family responsibilities.__20__ Not only does giving up a bit of control solve many conflicts, but the extra freedom you give him can also improve his decisionmaking.‎ A．Show tolerance.‎ B．Learn to solve problems.‎ C．Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.‎ D．If your teen could realize it, allow him to be himself.‎ E．A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.‎ F．Therefore, it’s important to guide them with problemsolving strategies.‎ G．Next time, he’ll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何才能帮助青少年做出正确的决定。‎ ‎16．选F　不擅长做决定的青少年很普遍，家长希望他们的孩子做一个有责任心的青少年应该做的事情，所以选F项“因此，用解决问题的策略引导他们很重要”。‎ ‎17．选G　通过犯一些小而无害的错误，比如最近形成的粗心消费的习惯，青少年通过自我改正学到了良好的决策技能。G项“下一次，在做出购买决定时他更可能三思”符合语境。故选G。‎ ‎18．选A　当你强调你不同意他的决定或你认为他的观点不正当时，告诉你的孩子你理解他的决定，所以A项“表现出宽容”符合语境。故选A。‎ ‎19．选C　根据本段的主题句“Set clear expectations”及下文的例子可知，选C“指出你的期望和孩子的责任”。‎ ‎20．选D　根据空前的一句可知选D项“如果你的孩子实现了他的承诺，那就允许他做他自己想做的事情”。‎ ‎[二]‎ Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things, from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires.　1　 ‎ The theory is that the bees navigation(导航) systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones. Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive. But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home.　2　 ‎ The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated(授粉) by them.　3　 Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, a London beekeeper, was recently asked how the problem was affecting him. “My business has been ruined by this,” he explained, “twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty.” ‎ ‎　4　 However, the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real. And we can’t manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! 　5　 If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it immediately—before it’s too late. ‎ A. Bees are losing their way.‎ B. Nobody has proved the theory is true.‎ C. More evidence is provided to support the theory.‎ D. It is believed that they are dying far from their hives.‎ E. Without bees,the crops can’t continue to grow.‎ F. The situation needs to be evaluated by the world’s best scientists.‎ G. One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees.‎ 答案与解析　‎ ‎【语篇导读】手机是过去50年中最有用的发明之一,但手机经常被认为是许多事情的罪魁祸首,从拇指受伤、头痛到火灾。‎ ‎1.G　根据“...the bees navigation systems are damaged by the radiation”可知,所填的是引出下文的过渡句,G项可承上启下。‎ ‎2.D　根据下文的“But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home.”可知,许多蜜蜂找不到蜂箱,D项是找不到蜂箱的结果。‎ ‎3.E　上文提到“蜜蜂的重要之处在于世界上许多国家的大多数农作物都是由蜜蜂授粉”。E项“没有蜜蜂,作物不能生长”可承接上文。‎ ‎4.B　根据下文的“However, the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real.”可知,所填的句子和下文构成转折关系,B项“没有人证明这项理论是正确的”符合语境。‎ ‎5.F　上文提到的是爱因斯坦的观点,下文提到“如果手机理论是正确的”。由此可知,F项“世界上最好的科学家需要对这种情况进行评估”可以承接上下文。‎ ‎[三]‎ Everyone knows how important trees are to the well-being of the earth.　1　 By providing shade for people to enjoy time outside, trees can shade our homes to keep them cooler in the summertime. They can hide unsightly(不美观的) views, reduce noise from nearby roads, and serve as windbreaks. Many types also produce flowers and fruit. These tall plants simply make our homes and neighborhoods more attractive. ‎ Choosing Trees ‎　2　 Planting a tree is a long-term project. Large shade varieties, especially, take a long time to grow. And once planted, they are difficult to move. Trees can also be a significant financial investment, so it’s important to choose wisely. ‎ ‎　3　 You may not have room to grow all the types you want to try. So take the time to choose a plant you like that also will grow well in the conditions you can provide. Trees vary widely in their need for space, light, and soil conditions. ‎ Care Once you’ve made a choice, you’ll need to prepare your site for planting. You may need to clear the area of other vegetation and improve the soil with organic matter such as fertilizer and nutrients. If you plant a tree yourself, carefully follow the instructions given by the nursery or read “How to Plant a Tree”.　4　 ‎ Providing proper care after it’s planted is also important.　5　 Feed regularly, water deeply, and prune(修剪) them carefully, so they become strong and healthy. Mature plants usually don’t need to be watered or fertilized. ‎ A. They also provide homes for wildlife.‎ B. Your success depends on proper planting.‎ C. Many yards have space for only a few large plants.‎ D. Young plants should be babied for the first few years.‎ E. They develop large root systems and can grow by themselves.‎ F. When you are planting trees,it’s wise to plan your selections carefully.‎ G. But do you know there are also many advantages of growing them in your own yard?‎ 答案与解析　‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了种树的一些注意事项。‎ ‎1.G　空前讲述的是树对地球的重要性,空后讲述的是树给人们及其住所提供的诸多好处,前后意思上存在转折;且下文主要讲述的是如何自己种树,故选项G与此处匹配。‎ ‎2.F　该部分的主题为Choosing Trees,主要讲述的是要谨慎地选择所种的树,故F项与此处匹配。下文中的“so it’s important to choose wisely”也是提示。‎ ‎3.C　根据空后内容可知,你可能没有足够的空间来种所有你想种的树,所以要选择能在你所能提供的条件中良好生长的树。空后内容围绕“空间”展开,故C项与此处匹配。‎ ‎4.B　根据空前一句“If you plant a tree yourself,carefully follow the instructions given by the nursery or read ‘How to Plant a Tree’”可知,自己种树时遵循指南很重要,空处承接上文,故选B项。‎ ‎5.D　空前一句讲的是种好树后适当的照料很重要,空后一句叙述了具体的照料方法,空处连接上下文;末句中的“Mature plants”与此处形成对比,由此可推断空处讲的是对未成熟的植株的照料需要花一段时间,故选D项。‎ ‎[四]‎ Teens are certainly confusing and complicated, but there is one thing that’s clear about them: More than anything else, they want to fit in with their peers. They want and need to stay connected. Without connection, they feel lonely, anxious and sad,　1　. ‎ Teens, like adults, run into all sorts of dilemmas with their friends. Friendships are neither all good nor all bad. As an adult, you have experience with these sorts of friends and have made your own adjustments in these relationships. Given both your own life experience and your concern for your teens. You’re in an excellent position to help your teens set boundaries with friends. Certainly, some friendships are worth maintaining, while some are not,　2　.There are many ways you can help your teens handle these relationships effectively. Here are some steps I would suggest taking: ‎ ‎1.Teach your teens to label their feelings. They need to know what it is that they are feeling first to effectively set limits and boundaries with friends. Help them label setbacks, exhaustion, disappointment and anger. This is no small task. Many kids struggle with labeling their feelings.‎ ‎2.　3　.If they sense that something is wrong in a friendship, they’re probably right, and they need to quit it as soon as possible. ‎ ‎3.Explain to your teens that they can’t be all things to all friends. And let them know that friendships are most likely to grow and continue if they feel good about them.‎ ‎4.Discuss different ways to set boundaries. Explain to your kids that just as it makes sense to say yes at times.　4　.Just as it’s fine to spend lots of time with a friend during the week, it’s equally OK to spend less time with the same friend when that friend is being too demanding. ‎ ‎5.Look at your behavior in relationships.　5　.They are quietly watching your every move. So make sure you’re setting a good example for them to follow in your relationships as well. ‎ A.so they need to tell what are right relationships B. and they shall find their way out of those friendships C. Keep in mind that you are your teens’ most important role model D. Remind your teens of bad relationships E. It’s also socially acceptable to say no at other times F. Encourage your teens to mind their feelings and follow the sixth sense G. but they may get exhausted by their friendships as well 答案与解析　‎ ‎【语篇导读】青少年没有朋友会感到孤独、焦虑和悲伤。本文讲述父母应该知道孩子如何交朋友和如何处理与朋友之间的关系。‎ ‎1.G　根据上文“They want and need to stay connected. Without connection, they feel lonely, anxious and sad...”可知,如果孩子们缺乏与他人的交往,他们会感到孤独、焦虑和悲伤。因此G项“但是他们也会因为自己与他人的友谊处理不当而感到身心疲惫”符合语境。‎ ‎2.B　根据上文“Certainly, some friendships are worth maintaining, while some are not...”可知,有些友谊值得维持,而有些不值得。因此推断当友谊不值得维持时,孩子们应该找到办法摆脱那些友谊。‎ ‎3.F　空格处是段落标题。由下文可知,如果孩子们感到友谊有什么不对,他们应该是对的,而且他们需要尽快从中摆脱出来。因此推断本段讲述父母应该鼓励孩子们遵从自己的感觉,听从直觉。‎ ‎4.E　根据段落标题“Discuss different ways to set boundaries.”和上文“Explain to your kids that just as it makes sense to say yes at times.”可知,与孩子讨论设置友谊边界的方法,向孩子们解释,在维护友谊的过程中,有时候要说“是”,E项“有时候说‘不’也是社会上认可的”和上文形成对照。‎ ‎5.C　根据下文“They are quietly watching your every move. So make sure you’re setting a good example for them to follow in your relationships as well.”可知,孩子们注视着你的一举一动,因此要确保为他们做好表率,C项“记住你是你的孩子的最重要的角色榜样”可引出下文。‎ ‎[五]‎ China has been the birthplace of many of the world’s greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling.　1　 This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering. ‎ ‎　2　 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells(贝壳) as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country. ‎ In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same,　3　‎ The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn’t long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.　4　 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire. ‎ About 1000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.　5　 ‎ A. People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.‎ B. However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.‎ C. It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.‎ D. They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.‎ E.As time went by, trade between countries increased.‎ F. During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.‎ G. The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.‎ ‎【语篇导读】 本文主要讲述了中国是世界上许多伟大发明的发源地。文中介绍了货币的发展过程,由实物交换到贝壳货币再到金属圆硬币,最后发明了纸币。成为世界上第一个制作纸币的国家。‎ ‎1.F　上文提到“在纸币和硬币发明之前,人们用许多不同的东西来买卖”。F项就是对那个时代物物交换的一个例子。‎ ‎2.B　根据下文的内容可知,在公元前1200年使用贝壳作为货币,很容易运输到远的地方。因此上文提到的用实物交换的方式就不方便、不实用了。B项可引出下文。‎ ‎3.D　上文提到“在这项发明之后的几年里,世界上许多其他国家也开始这样做”,也就是也使用贝壳来作货币”,所以选D项。‎ ‎4.G　根据本空的上下文内容可知,这时货币出现了新的发展,即出现金属币。G项“最早的硬币上常有洞,以便人们可以把它们串在一起”,与本段的语意一致。‎ ‎5.C　本段内容主要讲述了纸币最早出现在中国。C项“It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.”有paper currency的复现,而且能承接上文。‎ ‎[六]‎ Top Ways to Spend the Holiday Season with Pets Taking a nap is a great way to refresh during the holidays, and a nap with your dog or cat(or both)is an excellent bonding opportunity.‎ Holiday time is here. The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping... 1‎ In the season’s craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or over-stimulated(过度刺激的).2 But they don’t have to:be sure to pay attention and give them a break from the activity when they need it and add them to the fun when they don’t. ‎ ‎●Rest time.‎ If your pet seems stressed, have a safe place for him away from activity. Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their litter box.3 Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food. But you might need a nap, too, to refresh for holiday festivities. So use this time to take one together.‎ ‎● 4‎ Many Christmas tree farms welcome pets on a leash(皮带).Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one of the season’s most honored ‎ traditions—picking out the perfect tree. Just be sure to call the farm first to confirm that pets are welcome...and you have a new annual tradition.‎ ‎●Go have a catch.‎ Give your pup a good run and wear him out ahead of when company visits.5 This way, he’ll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests. Dog parks are ideal as pups can run, chase tennis balls, and socialize with others. Always remember to walk to and from the park with your pup on a leash and poop bags in hand. ‎ A. Keep pets on a leash.‎ B. Dogs love playing catch.‎ C. Dogs might also need one.‎ D. But where do our pets fit in?‎ E. Pick out the family Christmas tree.‎ F.As a result, pets can experience restlessness and anxiety.‎ G. Many pets would love to be included in some of the activities.‎ ‎【语篇导读】如何在假期和宠物一起度过一段美好时光?作者给我们提出了几条建议。‎ ‎1.D　根据空格前面“The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping...”可知,我们通常在假期会把时间花在装饰、购物、烹饪、打扫等事情上,D项“但我们把宠物置于何地?”,与上文衔接紧凑,符合语境。‎ ‎2.F　根据上句“In the season’s craziness our furry family members tend to get ignored or over-stimulated(过度刺激的).”可知,此处应选F项,指“这样的话,宠物可能休息不好或焦虑”,与上句构成因果关系。‎ ‎3.C　根据上句“Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their little box.”及下句“Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food.”可知,此处指宠物和人都需要有舒适的地方来休息。故C项“狗也需要一个这样的地方”能够承接上文。‎ ‎4.E　文章倒数第二段主要介绍了作者建议我们带着宠物去挑选圣诞树。故E项“挑选家庭圣诞树”适合做本段标题。‎ ‎5.B　根据本段标题中的关键词“catch”和空格处后的“This way, he’ll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests.”可知,B项“狗喜欢玩传接球的游戏”符合语境。‎ ‎[七]‎ The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.1 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. ‎ The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. ‎ So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along ‎ with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.3 ‎ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.4 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎5 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.‎ As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.‎ A. It all depends on your character.‎ B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.‎ C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.‎ D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.‎ E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.‎ F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.‎ ‎【语篇导读】有人乐于冒险而有人却安于现状,本文中作者为我们分析了冒险意识背后的原因。‎ ‎1.F　下文提到,我们中有些人会喜欢一些让他人惊讶、害怕的活动,对前文进一步进行解释说明,与前文紧密衔接。F项的意思是:然而我们权衡风险和回报的参考标准不尽相同。‎ ‎2.C　C项的意思是:擅长做那些事情就意味着更大的生存可能。those things指代的就是前文中的打猎、搏斗或探险,与前文紧密相连,故选C项。‎ ‎3.A　或许你喜欢赛车,或许你不喜欢。这都取决于你的性格。A项与前文衔接紧密,故选A项。‎ ‎4.E　选项中的this指代的是前文中的your teenage years; the bigger world与后文中的new experiences相对应。正是因为从家庭进入到更大的圈子中,才会渴望更多新的经历。‎ ‎5.G　该空位于段首,为总起句。G项的意思是:新的大脑研究表明,在面临同一紧张情景时,我们的大脑会做出不同的反应。后文对该句进行了具体解释:喜欢冒险的人在面临紧张情景时大脑中与快乐有关的区域会变得活跃,而其他人则是大脑中与恐惧有关的区域变得活跃。‎ ‎[八]‎ Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years.1 Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. ‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 2 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” ‎ ‎3 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” ‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.4 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 5 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. ‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.‎ B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.‎ C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.‎ D.As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.‎ E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.‎ F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.‎ G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了设置密码的重要性和必要性、密码的历史、隐藏信息的方式以及密码本的重要性。‎ ‎1.D　根据下文出现的Code breaking可知,此处介绍的是破译密码的内容,因此选择D项“只要有密码存在,人们就试图破译它”。‎ ‎2.E　根据下文举出的例子可知,此处介绍的是隐藏信息的方式之一:把信息隐藏在每一个单词的首字母中,然后把首字母拼在一起,信息就出来了。‎ ‎3.G　根据下文举出的例子可知,此处介绍的是隐藏信息的另一种方式:用符号或数字代替特定的字母。‎ ‎4.F　根据上文出现的a code book以及下文列举的例子可知,此处说明,用一本密码本,你可以写下代表其他单词的词语。‎ ‎5.A　根据下文出现的also hard以及a code book可知,此处想要说明的是,没有密码本想要破解密码是很困难的。‎ ‎[九]‎ How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot.1 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy. ‎ ‎●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?”2 ‎ ‎●Hit the streets with confidence. 3 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you. ‎ ‎●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.‎ ‎●4 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.5 ‎ ‎●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.‎ A. Limit your time.‎ B.As you approach people, be polite.‎ C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.‎ D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.‎ E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.‎ F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.‎ G. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文是总分结构,介绍了应如何进行街道采访。作者针对采访要提问的问题、采访的时间、采访的人数、采访的方式等方面提出了一些建议。‎ ‎1.D　根据后面的But以及can be easy可知,这里要填的句子表示街道采访对新记者来说有一定的难度,故选D项。D项的意思是:对新记者而言,这似乎是一项具有挑战性的任务。‎ ‎2.G　上一句是一个问题,这与G项中的a question like this相呼应。G项的意思是:提出了这样一个问题,你得到的回答就不只是“是”或者“不是”了,你会获得更多的信息。‎ ‎3.B　本段主要介绍了采访时的态度,要礼貌而自信。从后面的“Excuse me...I was wondering if you could...”可知,记者在街头采访时要非常礼貌,故选B项。‎ ‎4.A　根据后面的shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes可知,这里指要把握好采访的时间。因此选A项。‎ ‎5.F　前文说,进行6至10人的采访比较保险,F项中的That number正好与之呼应,意思是采访这么多人足以使你得到所有你想要的答案。‎ ‎[十]‎ Why Do We Get Angry?‎ Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发) events, personality traits(特征),and our assessment of situations. 1 ‎ Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.2 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits. ‎ Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are ‎ much more likely to get angry.3 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. ‎ ‎4 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative(消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger. ‎ ‎5 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. ‎ A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.‎ B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence or anger.‎ C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.‎ D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.‎ E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.‎ F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.‎ G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.‎ ‎【语篇导读】文章分析了引起愤怒的原因及应对的方法。‎ ‎1.F　上文说引起愤怒的原因是多种多样的,知道这些原因有很重要的作用。由“The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发) events, personality traits(特征),and our assessment of situations.”可知,F项“如果我们愿意以批判的眼光来评价我们自己,那么理解这些原因将会有利于控制我们自己的愤怒”,这说明了理解这些原因的重要性。下文则围绕这几个原因加以说明,并给出应对的解决方法。故F项合适。‎ ‎2.G　根据空后一句“The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.”可知,由于人们的履历和心理素质不同,人们对同一件事的反应是不一样的,故此处说明并非每个人对事件的反应都是相同的,这就是一个人可能会被激怒,而另一个则可能不会的原因。故选G项。‎ ‎3.E　空前说明易发怒的人往往好竞争,容忍度较低,E选项中these personality traits与上文中的“personality traits”对应,故选E项。‎ ‎4.A　此处为段落主题句。有时一些日常例行之事也会变成愤怒之源,有时对情境的无知和负面展望也会引发愤怒。该段最后一句中的“ignorance and negative(消极的) outlooks on situations”也是提示,故选A项。‎ ‎5.D　由后一句中的However转折意义可知,此处说明愤怒是一种强烈的情感,接着话锋一转,说明愤怒可能会变得尤为强烈,所以最好要知道愤怒出现的原因,从而阻止它的发生,故选D项。‎
