Question

【题目】

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.

1. —【1】—. When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.

2. You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t. —【2】—. You are you. You are not your sister.

3. You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. —【3】—. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

4. —【4】—. Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true. —【5】—.

A. You have the power to change your future.

B. So focus on your own passions and talents.

C. You are not the only one who feels this way.

D. You need to change your thought patterns.

E. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you.

F. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.

G. One of my favorite sayings is, “Don’t believe a negative thought you think!”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】E

【4】D

【5】G

【解析】

试题分析：每个人都认为自己不够完美，都会因为这一点而产生负面情绪或压力。本文后四段中分别给出了一些避免这些压力的建议。

【1】C 根据本段最后一句Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.多年以后，我发现几乎所有人都这样想过。所以我并不是唯一的有这样想法的人。故C项符合本段中心思想。

【2】B 根据本段第一句You are unique and have special talents.你是独一无二的，你有你自己特殊的才能。所以我们要关注的是自己而不是他人，故B项“So focus on your own passions and talents.”符合上下文串联。

【3】E根据后一句So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong.可知没有完美的客观标准，也就是说你认为的完美，在别人眼里不一定完美。

故E项符合上下文串联。

【4】D 根据横线后一句Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts.我们的自我价值感根植于我们自己的思想。所以我们要改变自己的思维模式，那样我们才不会认为自己不完美而产生压力。故D项符合上下文串联。

【5】G根据前句Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true只是因为你思考这些想法，但是并不会让他们成真。所以不要相信我们心里的那些消极的想法。故F项符合上下文串联。
