E)avoid F)psychologically G)primitive H)transfer
I)unusual J)control K)remove L)escape
M)response N)backward O)essential
【答案】
1.选O)。此处应填形容词。前文中说人们正在失去放松的休闲方式,But转折表明作者对relaxation的重视态度,只有essential必须的,重要的符合文意。
2.选E)。此处应填动词。前句说Stress is a natural part of everyday life压力是日常生活中很自然的一部分,说明人们不能避免压力。选项中只有avoid的意思为避免,消除,故E)avoid正确。
3.选J)。此处应填名词。前面说有压力并不是坏事,适当的压力能给人以动力,能赋予人生活的意义。只有在什么时候,压力才会导致人们表现不佳,身体不好。根据上下文可知get out of control压力失控的时候,才会有不好的结果,故选J)control。
4.选B)。此处应填名词。前句中not afraid of stress不怕压力是一些人的性格特点,选项中可以表示人的性格特点的词只有characters,故选B)。
5.选I)。此处应填形容词,修饰名词difficulties。一些人遇到......的困难就灰心丧气,选项中的形容词中,unusual不同寻常的可以说明困难的程度,故选择I)。
6.选F)。此处应填副词,与physically相对应,在此physically作为身体上的解释。选项中的副词有chemically化学地和psychologically精神地,很明显两个副词中选择F)psychologically。
7.选G)。此处应填形容词,修饰名词days。...days与后文中的today相对应,形成对比。选项中的是primitive,即将人类的早期和人类的今天做比较 ,故选G)。而N)backward说明的是社会发展的状态,不符合原文意思。
8.选M)。此处填名词。前句说,在人类的早期,选择不同就意味着生与死的差别;而现在人们碰到的危机不可能那样极端。后面but转折,说明了不管是压力的大小,人们都是在避免和战斗之间选择,下句中的such a reaction也可以说明人们对压力的反应是一样的,选项中的名词answer和response中,M)response=reaction符合文意。
9.选A)。根据上题,这种反应长时间持续的原因就是长时间的面对压力,选项中的exposure暴露的状态,受影响符合上下文意思,故选择A)exposure。
10.选K)。此处要填动词原形,和from构成动介搭配。人们应想办法应对压力,而不是将它......出人们的生活。选项中的transfer表示转移不符合原文意思;remove移动,移除可以和from连用,表示除掉,移开,符合原文意思,故选K)。
