解答 36-40 BCBAD 41-45 BACDB 46-50DACBD 51-55ACBCA
36 B still 此处意为"静止的".结合后文可知,女士在称体重,指针静止后依旧指向她节食之前的数字,故 still 符合题意.already 意为"已经",never 意为"绝不",often 意为"经常",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.
37 C 由后文的 never to be happy 可知,减肥不成功只是她最近的不顺利经历中比较典型(typical)的一个.difficult 意为"困难的",usual 意为"通常的",hard 意为"艰难的",与句意不符,且不能与 of 搭配,故排除.故正确答案为C.
38 B 结合句意可知,她在口袋里发现(find)了一张十英镑的纸币.waste 意为"浪费",pick 意为"捡起;采摘",get 意为"获取",均不符合句意.故正确答案为B.
39 A 结合后文可知,有室友帮忙加油是一件好事,是意料之外的有趣的(funny)事件.sad 意为"悲伤的",simple 意为"简单的",dull 意为"黯淡的",均不符合句意.故正确答案为A.
40 D 由上文可知,她的车没油了,因此此处应为室友帮忙充满(fill)了汽油.move 意为"移动",break 意为"打破",cover 意为"采访;覆盖",均不符合句意.故正确答案为D.
41 B 对应第一段段尾,这位女士的姐姐也曾经认为自己永远不会(never)快乐,但还是可以从生活中发现一些好事情,如室友帮忙加油.often 意为"经常",always 意为"总是",seldom 意为"很少,几乎不",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.
42 A A项,be flooded with"大量涌入;充满";B项,be troubled with"在…方面有困难";C项,be covered with"被覆盖;盖满";D项,be satisfied with"对…满意".由句意可知,每天关于快乐的建议都会大量充斥在(flood with)我们身边.其他选项均不符合句意.故正确答案为A.
43 C 结合上下文可知,别人总是在对我们进行说教:生活中总有一些事情是快乐的(happy),所以我们要做出正确的选择或改变我们悲观的态度.worried 意为"担心的",successful 意为"成功的",angry 意为"愤怒的",均与题意无关.故正确答案为C.
44 D 和"快乐无处不在"这种观点相伴而来的还有另外一种想法(thought),即快乐是一种永恒的客观条件.question 意为"问题",condition 意为"条件",choice 意为"选择",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.
45 B 由前面的 permanent condition 可知,快乐被认为是一种永恒的状态,因此当我们有时感到不快乐时,我们就会下这样的结论(conclude):我们自己出了问题.wish 意为"愿望",approve 意为"支持;赞成",agree 意为"同意",均不符合句意.故正确答案为B.
46 D 由下文可知,每个人所经历(experience)的事情并不全都是快乐的.care 意为"在意",do 意为"做",ask 意为"询问",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.
47 A 由下文中的 problem、defeats 和 peace 等可知,大多数人所经历的是一种更为普通的状态,是好状态与坏状态的混合物(mixture).puzzle 意为"困惑",belief 意为"信仰",time 意为"时间",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.
48 C ambiguous victories 与后面的 vague defeats 相对应,结合句意可知,我们大多数人所经历的生命历程是一种混合物,掺杂着我们的高峰、低谷和宁静的时刻,ambiguous victories 指生命中的高峰时刻.memory 意为"记忆",story 意为"故事",life 意为"生活",均不符合题意.故正确答案为C.
49 B 由句意可知,因为(because)和老板吵架,你觉得今天是不快乐的一天.so 表结果,but 表转折,均与句意不符,故直接排除;since 亦可表原因,但强调的是作为已知事实的原因,所以与题意不符,故排除.故正确答案为B.
50 D 对应上一段中的 peace,就算与老板吵架,但难道在这一天中就不存在片刻的快乐与宁静(peace)?silence 意为"静默",waste 意为"浪费",spirit 意为"精神",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.
51 A 本句与上文中的反问句并列,故此处应与 weren't there 对应;因主语为单数可数名词,故应选用 wasn't.故正确答案为A.
52 C 结合上文可知,你只记得这是糟糕的一天,但好的事情确实也发生(occur)了.disappear 意为"消失",work 意为"工作",change 意为"改变",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C.
53 B 由下文可知,快乐与否要看自己是否去发现快乐,所以快乐是一种态度(attitude),而非客观的条件.air 意为"空气",ache 意为"疼痛",attempt 意为"努力",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.
54 C 与本句中的 present 相对应,快乐是当下的状态而非遥远的(distant)承诺,所以应注重当下.near 意为"近的",possible 意为"可能的",difficult 意为"困难的",均不符合题意.故正确答案为C.
55 A live a…life 意为"过着…的生活",为固定搭配.结合句意可知,如果我们可以爱上所过的生活(the life we are living),那么就会更加幸运,也会经历更多的快乐.故正确答案为A.

Anger can benefit relationships
Showing anger is natural when you are misunderstood and it's a way of communicating that sense of unfairness.But society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it.The problem is that when you hide your anger,your partner doesn't know they've done something wrong.And so they keep doing it,which will harm your relationship.So,the expression of anger can sometimes benefit relationships.
Anger provides self-change
Anger can also help you realize your own faults if you allow it.If we can notice when we get angry and why,then we can learn what to do to improve our lives.Anger can encourage self-change.
Anger reduces fighting
Although anger often causes physical fighting,it can also be a way of reducing it.That's because it's a very strong social signal (标志) that a situation needs to be dealt with.When others see the signal they are more encouraged to try and comfort the angry people.

Being a paradise to many tourists,Tibet has been the dreaming wonderland and attracted tourists all over the world.And now as tourism in Tibet enters the peak season,more and more visitors are longing to travel to the mysterious highland.Meanwhile,they are worried about the altitude sickness (高原反应) which is most likely to experience in Tibet.Experts advised that tourists to Tibet should have a scientific and better understanding of the disease.
Altitude sickness,also known as acute high altitude disease (AHAD),is a common physiological reaction caused by acute exposure to low oxygen content and air pressure and dry weather when people getting up to a place with a certain altitude.
Acute altitude reaction usually occurs within hours or days after a person goes up to a highland above 2,700meters above sea level from a region with a lower altitude.It is believed that most visitors to Tibet will be certain to suffer from at least some symptoms which will generally disappear through acclimatization in several hours to several days.It presents as a collection of nonspecific symptoms including headache,shortness of breath,oppressed feeling in the chest,lack of appetite,fever,dizziness,fatigue or weakness,etc.Some will even take the chance to come down with drowsiness,insomnia,adrenaline surge,nosebleed and so on.
However,experts point out that human bodies can adapt to the surroundings (适应环境) in a gradual way.Therefore,altitude sickness is not that scary.
To prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness,visitors should have a proper preparation in advance and avoid heavy physical activities before they go to Tibet.After getting off the plane,they should try not to carry heavy things,run or avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.
Nifedipinum,Nuodikang Capsule and Suoluomabao Capsule (胶囊),which is also known as Hongjingtian Capsule,may help some people prevent the occurrence of altitude sickness when they are taken three days before people arrive in a highland.
Visitors with a severe cold,a high fever,acute or chronic pulmonary diseases,severe cardiovascular diseases,women in late pregnant and kids under three years old should avoid traveling to regions with a high altitude.
Proper rest,considerate preparation,and enough oxygen uptake can all help to relieve altitude sickness.If a patient does not show any sign of improvements after three to four hours,he/she should go to a hospital for medical treatment.
