（五）本文讲的是我们许多人都安于现状，害
怕改变，但实际上改变并非坏事。换个对待事
物的看法，克服恐惧，如文中的”我”，变化
带给我们的其实是诸多新的可能性与机遇。
1. C 选项：distinguish 区分，辨别；break 打破，
违背；change 改变；rest休息。根据后文语篇内
容，本句说的是甚至我们的新年要做出改变的计
划或愿望，很少坚持到情人节。
2. A 选项：while虽然，然而；since既然，自从；
when当……时；if 如果。上下文逻辑关系是
“……然而”。
3. D 选项：advice建议；efficiency 效率；success
成功；routine常规，例行公事。结合前面说的我
们许多人都是机械做同样的事，人们渴望做例行
公事的事是非常自然而然的。
4. C 选项：expect期待；gain获得；discover发
现；share分享。本句指的是舒适区外有许多有待
发现的东西。
5. B 选项：retire 退休； get laid off被解雇；
give up放弃； register登记，注册。根据后文可
知作者是被解雇失业从而开始改变的。
6. D 选项：well-organized 良好组织的；unique
独特的；excellent 非常好的；struggling奋斗的，
陷入困境的。从后文看应该是陷入困境的公司。
7. C 选项：my我的；any一些或任何一个；
another另外一个；other 其他的。本句理解为很
难再找到另外一份工作。
8. A 选项：or或者；and 和；but但是；for 因
为。句中的now or never指的是要么现在，要么
永远不，是选择关系。
9. B 选项：句中an existing cafe后有由and连接
的两个并列的定语从句，空格处指“它的 （这
家餐馆的）”作owner（主人）的定语，故用
whose。his与its不能引导定语从句。
10. C 选项：need 需要； schedule时间表；
rent租约； business生意，事情。本句说的是“
为了实现拥有自己餐馆的梦想，我必须要找到一
个经营不善的餐馆，餐馆的老板急于摆脱租约”。
11. D 选项：surprisingly令人惊讶地； quickly
快速地；seriously 严肃认真地；luckily幸运地。
从前后文看，应该是很幸运地找了一个自己想要
的餐馆。
12. B 选项：of ……的； from离……，从……;
beside在……旁； along沿着。eight blocks from
home指的是离家8个街区远。
13. A 选项：recipe食谱； procedure过程;
receipt发票；mission任务。本句是说“我改了餐
馆的名字，菜单，食谱和餐馆的外观”。
14. C 选项：satisfied 满意的；sorry对不起，难
过；grateful感激的； eager渴望的。作者在13岁
被解雇，以为找不到工作没想到却实现了自己的
梦想，所以应该是感谢那次失业和追求梦想的所
有机会。
15. A 选项：tend往往，倾向于；attempt试图，
尝试； mean 打算；intend计划，意图。本句说的
是“当我们做同样的一成不变的事情时，往往会
制造混乱但又保持静止不改变”。
16. B 选项：hopeful 充满希望的；still静止不动
的； curious好奇的；angry生气的。从文章看是
保持静止不动一成不变。
17. D 选项：look after 照顾；believe in 相信；
care about在乎；look around环顾四周。本句指
的是“当我们用不同的眼光看待事物且看看我们
周围……”。
18. A 选项：possibility 可能 (性)； height高度；
ability能力；fortune财富，运气。本句意指
“……新的可能和机会将向我们敞开”。
19. B 选项：experience经验，经历；fear 害怕；
worry担心；pain痛苦。后面一句有提示。
20. D 选项：eventually最终； immediately立即；
normally 通常；actually实际上。恰恰是害怕比我
们实际上应该做的和改变的厉害得多。

(七) 作者在一家餐厅用餐时遇到蟑螂出没，通
过观察对比餐厅内其他顾客的“过度”反应和
侍应生的沉着应对，总结出一个结论：造成混
乱的往往不是事件本身，而是人们对事件的实
际反应。
1. A 选项：fear 恐惧；surprise 惊讶；excitement
兴奋；sorrow悲伤。由下句中的 “panic stricken
face”可知该女士是由于“恐惧”而尖叫的。
2. C 选项：exciting兴奋的；astonishing令人震惊
的；trembling颤抖的；frightening令人害怕的。“
颤抖的”声音是“恐惧”的体现，与第1题呼应。
3. D 选项：get tired of厌倦；get hold of抓住；get
out of 逃出；get rid of摆脱。蟑螂在身上，惊恐的
女士当然要想尽办法“摆脱”掉它。
4. C 选项：while 而；if 如果；as因为；but 但是。
根据前句可知，该女士的过激反应具有感染力，因
为在场的顾客也变得紧张兮兮起来，此句表原因。
5. B 选项：calm 镇定的; nervous紧张的; confused
迷惑的；interested 感兴趣的。根据前句可知，该
女士的过激反应具有感染力，因为在场的其他顾客
“也”变得紧张兮兮起来。
6. C 选项：put 放好；take拿走；push 推开；
carry运走。之前提到该女士想要“除去”蟑螂，现
在终于成功将其“驱赶”。
7. B 选项：fly飞；land着陆；run跑；move移动。
由空格后的介词on可推测出这里表示静态动作，而
不是正在移动。蟑螂又“落在”另一位女士的身上。
8. C 选项：act 表演；change 改变；continue 继续；
record 记录。从下文可知第二位女士同样反应激烈，
所以是“延续”这场闹剧。
9. A 选项：rescue 拯救；service 服务；relief 宽
慰；situation 情况。这时，侍应生冲上来“救场、
解围”。
10. A 选项：throw抛,扔；hit拍打；run跑；
jump跳。因为顾客们都很慌乱，所以将蟑螂一轮
“抛甩”传递下来。
11. B 选项：influence影响；observe观察；
understand 明白；test测试。由句中侍应生镇定的
反应可知，他是先静静地“观察”蟑螂的行动。
12. D 选项：strong 强壮的；careful 小心的；
brave 勇敢的；confident 确定的。前面提到侍应
生伺机而动，当足够“确定，有把握”的时候，
他才迅速采取行动。
13. D 选项：head 头部；arm 手臂；shoulder肩
膀；finger手指。从句中的“seize(抓住)”这一单
词可知是手部动作。
14. A 选项：pick up 偶得；show up 露面；take
up 开始从事；make up 编造。下文接着讲述的是
作者从此次事件中“偶然得到的”一些想法。
15. C 选项：believe相信；imagine想像；wonder
好奇地想知道；consider考虑。下句是一句疑问，
所以是好奇，想知道。
16. B 选项：how 如何；why 为何；what 什么；
who 谁。下文解释的是该侍应生不受突发事件困
扰的原因，所以是why。
17. D 选项：hurriedly 急忙地；awfully 糟糕地；
slowly 缓慢地；perfectly 完美地。从前文可知，
侍应生处理紧急事件的方式几近“完美”。
18. D 选项：control 控制；prevent 预防；avoid
避免；handle 处理。由下段同样的句式中所使用
的短语deal with可知答案。同时，文章一再强调
人们“处理、对待”事情的态度是混乱的根源。
19. B 选项：gentlemen先生们；ladies女士们；
waiter侍应生；audience观众。由前文可知一直是
女士们在夸张地大呼小叫，深受蟑螂困扰。
20. A 选项：reaction 反应；tendency 倾向；
contribution 贡献；reference 提及。根据上文蟑螂
事件和作者在现实生活中的事例可知，造成混乱的
不是事件本身，是人对待事情的反应，态度。

immediately立刻；perfectly 完美地。将来的事
情也“立即”会发生。
5. A 选项：good 好的；better 更好的；bad 坏
的；worse更坏的。下文提到这样的感觉促使人
们更加注意今天的举止，所以这种感觉作者认为
是“好的”。
6. B 选项：style风格； condition 条件；
connection关系； form形式。由下文“provide
sustainable conditions for distant generations”提
示可知正确选项。
7. D 选项：skill 技巧；struggle 斗争；problem
问题；concern关心，忧虑。作者认为，如何为
子孙后代提供适宜的环境是今天的我们必须“关
心，忧虑”的。
8. A 选项：determine下决心； enjoy喜欢；
benefit获利；ruin毁灭。由语境可知，今天的行
为“决定”子孙后代的健康和财富。
9. B 选项：explanation阐述；behavior 行为；
concept 概念；attitude 态度。由上题可知。
10. B 选项：repeat 重复； wonder 想知道；
explain解释，说明；explode爆发。很多人“想
知道”为什么要保护生态环境。
11. C 选项：take带走，花费；make使，做；
cost花费；raise赚钱。由上题可知，保护生态环
境是需要“花费”的。It takes后常接不定式。
12. A 选项：so因此； but 但是；though 虽然；
because因为。有人认为既然保护生态需要花费
资金和资源，“所以”不如开发利用。
13. C 选项：permanent 永久的；continuous 持
续的； temporary 短暂的；various多样的。后
面提到“lasts less than a century”，作者认为
开发利用只会持续“短暂的”时间。
14. C 选项：consist of包括；make up 弥补；
result in 导致； believe in信任。由上题可知，
作者认为开发利用而不是保护生态，可能会“
导致”物种的缺失。
15. D 选项：still 仍旧；yet 然而；just 仅仅；
also也。不仅是大自然需要保护，我们生活的小
院“也”需要生态保护。
16. A 选项：provide提供；contribute贡献；
pay付款，偿还；give 给。动植物可能会给我们
的后代“提供”基因组合。
17. D 选项：disaster灾难；extinction灭绝；
flood洪水；diseases疾病。 也许这些动植物的基
因会阻止“疾病”。与or后的“medical advice”
相对。
18. D 选项：trouble麻烦；wish愿望；doubt怀疑
; chance机会。 根据上句提示“future
generations chances for gene splicing”可知，物种
消亡，可能会使后代失去使用基因重组的“机会
”。
19. C 选项：create创造；offer主动提供；keep持
续；change改变。由句子“past generations that
made my present possible. ”提示可知，作者认为
自己能生存是因为祖先留下的环境好，所以，现
在的人们也应该“持续”给后代留下健康的生存
条件。
20. B 选项：come across偶遇；come after紧跟；
come about发生；come out出版。由文章大意可知，
作者想给“后代”提供好的生存条件。
