D.Despite答案:B解析:此处考察上下文的逻辑关系。上文改写俗语,大意为拥抱可以使医生远离我们,即不得病,为积极含义,空后大意为:_______使你感觉与别人亲近并_______,所以也是积极含义,并同为拥抱的好处,因此选择B选项besides除了……之外还有……,A选项unlike不同于与D选项despite尽管,均为转接,故排除,C选项throughout贯穿,语义不通顺,故答案为[B]Besides。

第二篇People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health."People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."When you try to calm yourself,you are actually trying to_________.A:recall things you loveB:show you are angryC:relieve your stressD:breathe normally答案:C解析:推断题。第二段:"People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.,…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰,更为乐观一些。“因此,原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗,降低免疫系统的疲劳程度,让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况,还有后句中的immune system也是如此。推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique.让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气,试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力)的方法。推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。

B.forget
C.recall
D.keep答案:C解析:此处考察词义辨析。该句含义为:温暖的拥抱在冬天可以帮助你______生病。根据语义,不难确定此处需要“避免”“防止”的词,并且后面搭配动名词,故答案为C选项avoid避免。Recall使回想,召集,forget忘记,keep(doing)一直做,均不吻合句义。

第三篇Look After Your VoiceOften speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not even talk in a low voice.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life- time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.What did Goethe say about skating and swimming?A:He said people could learn to skate when it was hot and swim when it was cold.B:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was hot.C:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was cold.D:He said people could learn to skate when it was cold and swim when it was hot.答案:A解析:在文章第一段中,作者提到三种解决讲话时口干的方法,分别对应A、B、C选项。故 选D。由文章第三段第三句“...but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.”可知,答案 为A。由文章第四段可知,作者忠告演说者在演说之前千万不要饮酒。故选B。文章最后一段中歌德的原话是“We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter",A项与歌德的说法最接近。作者在最后一段引用歌德的话想证明,一个人在一生中养成的习惯如果想改还是可以 改的。故选C。第5部分:补全短文

B.in
C.at
D.of答案:A解析:此处考察介词的搭配问题。具体是名词与介词的搭配问题。上文指出:researchers from Carnegie Mellon University examined the effects of perceived social support and the receipt of hugs on the participants'susceptibility to developing the common cold after being exposed to the virus.该句阐释了感知社会支持和接受拥抱这一效应对于那些受试者在接触病毒之后患感冒的易感性。这里面有个关键的名词effect这一名词,have an effect on对…有影响,对…起作用,产生效果;因此排除B.in,C.at,
