Question

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

A girl named Jenny once told me about her   36   in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke  37   :

My  38    with my mom all started one day   39    she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I   40   it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never   41    back to her. So every time she would say something   42    I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay,  43    you want, Mom”

But I really got cold quickly. And my   44    began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s   45   ”and then went back to mop the floor.

“Don’t you ever   46   ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was   47    upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I   48    her how important it was to me.

At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to   49   . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s   50    than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a   51    to her.

After my blowup, we felt like we were   52    all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always   53    my feeling with her.

If you adopt Lose Win as your basic   54    toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be   55    your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Answer 1

36---55      ADBCD   CABBC   ACDBB   ABACD

解析:

36.A  通过下文看，Jenny讲述了自己从忍气吞声到最终摆脱出来的过程。而在此过程中，她经历了从妥协到气愤以至最后跟妈妈理论争得尊严的过程。因此，选“徘徊”最能说明这个过程。

37.D   break free“挣脱”，“获得心灵、精神上的解放”，符合Jenny争得自己尊严的结果。

38.B   从后文看，这儿指的是“我”跟妈妈的“问题、矛盾”的出现。

39.C   when引导定语从句，修饰前面的名词day,本身作状语。

40.D   take此处意思是“接受、理解”之意，此处指作者并未真正了解妈妈对她的讽刺口吻，仅仅理解她所说的话的字面意义。

41.C  talk back“还嘴、顶嘴”，此处指Jenny决定忍气吞声，不跟妈妈顶嘴。

42.A  even if引导让步状语从句，当“即使”讲，Jenny此处决定即使妈妈说的不对，也不去顶撞她。

43.B  此处指Jenny总是不顶撞妈妈，妈妈说什么就是什么，因此用whatever“无论什么”。

44.B  Jenny虽然不顶撞妈妈，但内心的“怒气”在聚集。

45.C  理解下文Jenny生气可知，此处是妈妈“敷衍”我的话，意为“好啊”，表现出妈妈对我的学业漠不关心。

46.A  care当“关心、在乎”讲，此处Jenny在内心里反问：妈妈关心过我吗？

47.C  even此处用来加强语气。进一步说明妈妈对“我”漠不关心，意为：她甚至不知道我生气了。also, still, already均不合逻辑。

48.D  此处句子结构是虚拟语气，假如我“告诉”妈妈，她会明白学业对我来说有多么重要。

49.B  Jenny最后终于爆发，对妈妈说：这一切需要“改变”了。Jenny不能再忍气吞声下去了。

50.B  Jenny在申诉：忍气吞声是为了避免跟妈妈发生冲突，为了大家好，即：我忍气吞声总比与你发生争执来对大家说“更容易”。

51.A  表示妈妈没有预料到“我”会这么生气，而且向她申诉。surprise用作可数名词，当“令人吃惊的事情”讲。

52.B  表示“我”和妈妈的关系有了新的“开始”。start all over表示“重新开始”。

53.A  share\:with\:与妈妈分享（交流）自己的感情，符合题意跟搭配关系。

54.C  后面的介词是toward,因此只有选“态度”才符合题意跟搭配关系。

55.D  Jenny最后发表议论，“忍气吞声”、把自己的真实感情“隐藏”起来对健康不利。
