The sight of lightning（閃電）dancing across the night sky looks wonderful. But get too close and there may be 1 .

Apart from its 2 power， lighting has a good side too. Its likely that humans 3 fire from lighting. And lighting helps create ozone（臭氧）， which protect us from the suns 4 rays. Thunderstorms also 5 chemicals， which fall to the earth in the 6 and provide food for plants and soil.

Be careful. You could be 7 by lighting in several ways：

You could suffer a direct hit， which 8 electricity through your body for less than a second. Because of the short duration（持續(xù)的時(shí)間）， severe burns arent common. Any resulting injuries are usually not 9 .

If lighting strikes land close to 10 you are standing， the electricity could travel through the 11 and enter your body through your legs. You could also be injured if youre touching an object that is 12 hit.

Here are some 13 tips if youre outdoors during a lighting storm.

Since lighting can strike even if it is not raining， take shelter when you first 14 thunder in the distance.

15 open spaces or standing under tall trees. These are frequent targets of lighting strikes.

16 the distance of the storm with the“three-second rule”. When you see a lighting flash， count the seconds until you hear the bang of thunder. Divide this by three—sound travels about one kilometer every three seconds—and this will give you the 17 distance of the storm from you. If you find the storm is 18 nearer， take cover and stay there until the storm

19 .

You have waited 10 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes break between classes. But when the bell for the next class 1 ， you can hardly believe how 2 time has passed. If you are

3 with this scene， youll know how time flies when you are having 4 and drags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this is the 5 .

Studies have shown that patterns of activity in the brain

6 according to how we focus on a task. When our time is busy with 7 things， we concentrate more on how time is

8 ， which makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.

In an experiment 9 by a French laboratory， 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their 10 activity. The 11 were told to first concentrate on how long a /an 12 stayed on the screen， then 13 on the color of the image， and thirdly， study both the length of time and color.

The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. It is thought that if the brain is 14 ， focusing on many aspects of a task， we tend to pay less attention to the clock. 15 ， time passes without us really realizing it and seems to go 16 . If the brain is not so 17 ， it devotes all its energies to 18 the passing of time， so creating the 19 that time is dragging.

Next time you feel 20 in class， perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying！

答案與解析

（一）作者記敘了一對(duì)夫妻破產(chǎn)后搬進(jìn)一個(gè)小房子，冬天里每天丈夫都搶先洗澡，目的是讓浴室溫度升高一點(diǎn)，給妻子多一點(diǎn)溫暖。

1. D 由后面的but with no care of his wife可知，是“丈夫”日夜工作。

2. A 根據(jù)常識(shí)，日夜工作的目的應(yīng)當(dāng)是“支撐一個(gè)家，養(yǎng)家糊口（support the family）”，再說，根據(jù)所填詞與the family搭配，也可知填support。

3. A 上一句中with no care of his wife的care復(fù)現(xiàn)，可想到是選項(xiàng)A，將cares about（關(guān)心）代入文中，正確，故選A。

4. C 由動(dòng)賓搭配可知，應(yīng)是take a bath；另外，下文多處出現(xiàn)take it，原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，故選C。

5. B 由下文Why not let me shower first？可知，選B。

6. D 由上文的worked day and night可知，沒有信息表明他很“冷”“興奮”“開心”。

7. C 由上文He doesnt love me any more...not me可推斷，她已很難過，這次又跟她爭著先洗澡，這一定使她“完全”沮喪了。

8. D 根據(jù)常識(shí)，應(yīng)是“打開電腦”，“開”電視、電燈、電腦等應(yīng)是turn on，故選D。

9. B 由冒號(hào)后的下一段可知，是其丈夫用第一人稱寫的日記。

10. A 由上文并結(jié)合日記內(nèi)容可知，自己很關(guān)愛妻子，卻讓妻子誤解，根據(jù)常識(shí)，應(yīng)是“難過”。

11. D 由語境可知，應(yīng)是表達(dá)“為什么總是（always）我先洗澡”。

12. C 由前一句She was unhappy可知，在她心里，“我對(duì)待（treat）她不像通常那么好了”。

13. A 根據(jù)文章第一句和本空后面內(nèi)容only a shower...It was so cold to take a shower...winter等可知， “我不富有”。

14. B 由文章首句和only a shower可知，就是面積“小的”公寓。

15. D 與cold， winter有關(guān)聯(lián)的詞應(yīng)是freezing（寒冷的）。

16. B 由上下文談?wù)摰膖ook the shower可知，是沖進(jìn)bathroom。

17. B 根據(jù)常識(shí)和前后語境，應(yīng)是“更暖和”。

18. A 因破產(chǎn)了，搬進(jìn)窄小的公寓，作者不能給她過上“舒適的”生活了。

19. C 因I cant give...與I can give是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選but。

20. C 故事的主題。

（二） 如果你感到缺少你想要的動(dòng)力和你需要的動(dòng)機(jī)時(shí)，你需做的只是轉(zhuǎn)變觀點(diǎn)。積極地看待生活，找到快樂的真諦。

1. B 由下段第一句中By training your thoughts的thoughts可知，選thinking，因thinking與thoughts是同根詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。

2. A 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中能與on搭配的只有concentrate on （集中在），故選A。另外，base...on或be based on表示“在……的基礎(chǔ)上”。

3. B 由作狀語的分詞短語“訓(xùn)練將思維集中在事情的正面”，其結(jié)果應(yīng)是“更可能（are more likely to）”有動(dòng)力。下句中的are less likely to也提醒我們用likyly。

4. D 根據(jù)搭配和意義，應(yīng)是“達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)（follow through on your goals）”。由第三段中的go in the direction of your hope and aspirations（抱負(fù)）可以進(jìn)一步確定選goals。

5. C 與前面的be held back（阻礙）和后面的limit（限制）同現(xiàn)的應(yīng)是negative（負(fù)面的，否定的）。

6. B“生活質(zhì)量提高，幸福接踵而來”，與enhanced（提高）同現(xiàn)的應(yīng)是enrich（豐富）。

7. C 根據(jù)搭配，能接sb./sth. to do sth. 的只有l(wèi)eave，表示“讓某人/某事做某事”，句意為“不要讓你的未來去冒險(xiǎn)或者等待情況變好”，表示“”是。

8. A 根據(jù)前面chance和后面on their own可知，意思是“別指望事情自己可以自然地變好”，故選A。

9. D 由work through problems（設(shè)法克服困難）”可知，“不要逃避（avoid）困難”。

10. B 意思是“力量不一定（not necessary）能控制局勢(shì)”。

11. D 在賓語從句中作主語，表示“任何事物情”，用連接代詞whatever（=any thing）。意為“是處理好你所遇到的一切事情的能力”。

12. A 從本文的主題來看，應(yīng)是“永遠(yuǎn)都要相信美好的事情是可能（possible）發(fā)生的”。

13. C 由mistakes（錯(cuò)誤）可想到引導(dǎo)你有新發(fā)現(xiàn)的lessons（教訓(xùn)）。

14. C 句中it顯然是指前面的fear，應(yīng)當(dāng)是把畏懼“轉(zhuǎn)化”為信任。其他選項(xiàng)雖然也可以into搭配，但意義與語境不符：put...into...將……放入……里，fold...into...把……摺成……，throw...into...將……仍進(jìn)……里。

15. B 與anxiety并列應(yīng)是同類詞語，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有B項(xiàng)符合。句中rise above意思是“克服，不受……的影響”。

16. D 整篇的主題是轉(zhuǎn)換觀點(diǎn)，凡是看陽光一面，特別有下句“不要揮霍浪費(fèi)精力，將它投到有意義的事情中去”提醒，因此，這里應(yīng)是將“坐臥不寧”變成“富有成效（productive）”，故選D。

17. A 由上句“做有意義的事”可知，“美好的事情將會(huì)發(fā)生（ahppen）”。

18. C “當(dāng)你experience（體驗(yàn)）”生活的樂趣時(shí)，你才能見證美好的事情發(fā)生。

19. D 由動(dòng)賓搭配可知，應(yīng)是“采用（adopt）積極的想法”，而不是改變它。

20. A 使積極的思想成為你的世界（world）里的一個(gè)重要組成部分。你的世界包括了你的人生、思想、生活、經(jīng)歷等。

7. C 起初（at first）車廂空空如也，漸漸地（gradually），車廂開始擁擠起來，因此答案選C。

8. C 由However引起轉(zhuǎn)折可知，馬克吐溫是不愿意和那個(gè)陌生人聊天的，由此可推測那人長得令人不快的/不討人喜歡的（unpleasant），故選C。

9. D 根據(jù)他主動(dòng)和陌生人打招呼可知，在那種情況下保持沉默是不禮貌的（impolite）。

11. A 他們先是談?wù)撎鞖猓缓笤掝}就集中到（focused on）緬因州上面來，因此答案選A。

12. C 直到此時(shí)，這名男人的真實(shí)身份還不為馬克吐溫所知，故用stranger（陌生人）最符合語境。

13. A 由I suppose you have been in our woods可知，此人指的是緬因州美麗的森林，因此A最貼切。

14. D此人所推薦的緬因州美麗的森林是個(gè)景點(diǎn)，由此可知來了這個(gè)州不去那里呆上一段時(shí)間會(huì)是一個(gè)遺憾（pity）。

16. C 從May I ask who you are， sir？”可知，此處是那名陌生人回答（answered）馬克吐溫的問題。

20. C 由于害怕被抓，馬克吐溫腦筋快速一轉(zhuǎn)，馬上想到一個(gè)答案。此處的quick體現(xiàn)出馬克吐溫的思維敏捷，因此C是最佳選項(xiàng)。
