Question

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly. What is this illness? It is depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. 【1】 Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced (自我诱导)depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.【2】

1. Examine ourselves and set a goal.

First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything, then one step is needed—to set goals.

【3】Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challen ging goals.

2.【4】

There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet. In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.

3. Think about good things and smile

Think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile.

【5】A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.

If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable.

A. Go on a diet and keep a good figure.

B. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free.

C. However, self-induced depression is something each of us can change.

D. Feed ourselves well and be physically health.

E. Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain.

F. Good memories help you keep a good state of mind.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】G

【3】E

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

【1】C考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。该段讲述了两种抑郁类型严重的抑郁和自我诱导抑郁。严重的抑郁需要专业治疗，而自我诱导抑郁却是我们每个人都可以改变的。

【2】G考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据后文的3个小标题可以看出下文要讲述如何改变自我诱导抑郁，故而这里要用一个总结行的问句引出下文。故先A。

【3】E考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。文中举了沙子的例子—一粒沙子不重要但许多沙子却能积成沙滩，可以看出一开始我们的目标要相对较小并容易达到。

【4】D考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据该段提出的“Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals.”和“If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.”可知是建议我们要吃好，并保持身体健康。此处的 eating better food和 physical body是提示。

【5】B考查上下文逻辑推理及语境理解。根据该部分标题“Think about good things and smile”可知，此段是劝慰多微笑。该段的关键词smile是提示。
