If I hold it for a day, I'll have to call an ambulance (救护车). In each case, it’s the same weight, but the _______I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位老师通过一个实验让学生知道压力是什么样的，并让学生们明白如果我们一直背负着我们的重担，随着它们变得越来越重，我们迟早无法继续下去，就像这杯水一样需要先放下休息一下。

【1】句意：他们给出了许多不同的答案。

考查名词。glasses名词，玻璃杯；answers名词，答案；questions名词，问题；students名词，学生。根据“First, she asked her students, "How heavy is this glass of water?"”首先，她问她的学生：“这杯水有多重？”可知，老师提出了问题，学生们给出了不同的答案。故选B。

【2】句意：有些学生说它重200克，另一些学生只是说他们不知道。Some students said it weighed 200 grams, others simply said they didn’t know.

考查代词。根据句意可知，此处表示“其他学生”，all代词，所有人；nobody代词，没有人； they人称主格代词，他们；others代词，其他人。D项符合题意。故选D。

【3】句意：这取决于我拿着它多长时间。

考查连接词。how long多长，多久；how much多少，多少钱；how soon多久；how often多长时间一次。根据“If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem.”如果我拿着它一分钟，这不是问题。故可知此处表示“我拿着它多长时间”。how long符合题意，故选A。

【4】句意：如果我拿一个小时，我的胳膊会疼。

考查名词。head名词，头；leg名词，腿；arm名词，胳膊；foot名词，脚。根据句意可知，此处表示“用手拿着一个小时，胳膊会疼”。arm名词，胳膊，符合题意，故选C。

【5】句意：在每种情况下，它的重量相同，但我拿着它时间越长，它变得越重。

考查形容词比较级。heavier形容词，更重；more形容词，更多；shorter形容词，更短；longer形容词，更长。根据“If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my __4__ If I hold it for a day, I'll have to call an ambulance (救护车).”可推断，拿着时间越长，就会感觉越重。longer符合题意。故选D。

【6】句意：她继续说，“压力就是这样。如果我们一直背负着我们的负担，迟早，当它们变得越来越重，我们就无法继续下去。”

考查动词。continued动词，继续；stopped动词，停止；asked动词，问；laughed动词，笑。根据句意可知，老师还没有说完，接着继续说，故此处表示“继续”的含义。continued符合题意，故选A。

【7】句意：就像放下这杯水一样，在拿起它之前，你必须把压力放下一会，休息一下。

考查动词短语。writing down写下来；putting down放下；falling down跌落；going down走下。根据“you have to lay your stress down for a while and rest before holding it again.”可知，此处老师是指重新拿起杯子之前，要先放下杯子。put down符合题意。故选B。

【8】句意：当我们精神焕发时，我们可以继续承受起我们的负担——每次都更容易地承受起它们。

考查副词。quickly副词，快速地；easily副词，容易地；quietly副词，平静地；clearly副词，清晰地。根据上一句“Just like ___7___ this glass of water, you have to lay your stress down for a while and rest before holding it again.”就像放下这杯水一样，在拿起它之前，你必须把压力放下一会，休息一下。可知在休息以后，重新开始，会更容易承受。此处表示“容易地”，故选B。

【9】句意：今天忘记他们，明天拿起他们。

考查动词。Take动词，带走；Remember动词，记着；Forget动词，忘记；Bring动词，带来。根据前一句“we shouldn't carry our burdens around all the time. ”我们不应该一直背负着负担。可知今天应该忘记负担，明天再背负起负担。forget符合题意。故选C。

【10】句意：不管你现在背负着什么负担，把它们放下一会儿，休息一下。

考查名词。work名词，工作；water名词，水；rest名词，休息；burdens名词，重担。根据“we shouldn't carry our burdens around all the time.”我们不应该一直背负着负担。可知此处表示可以放下负担，休息一下。get some rest休息一下，符合题意，故选C。
