答案与题解:
1. B 看到后面的不定式,应马上想到 expect,这是常见搭配,意思是"期望做某事",放在此处也符合句意,故选B.
2. C 此句大意为"若是周围有个总是往事情最坏处考虑的人,我们一定没有什么乐趣",此处符合逻辑的只有 worry和 fear,但 worry要与 about 搭配,故 C 为正确答案。
3. P A, B, D 都有"乐趣"的意思,但口语中常和 a lot of 搭配的只有fun,意为"很多乐趣"。
4. D look like 意为"看起来像……,看上去要……" ,符合句意,为正确答案。
5. C 此句意思为"对此采取一些措施是重要的",A 与 D 搭配不当,直接被排除,B 选项against 容易被误选,译为"采取措施来对抗它",但此处的 it 是指代前面整句话,指这个状况、情况、事实。我们只能针对这个情况采取措施,不能去对抗它,C 选项比较合理。
6. B according to 固定搭配,意为"根据……"。
7. A as a result 是个惯用短语,表示结果,意为"最后,结果,最终"。整句译为“只需一点儿努力,你将发现生活会回报你更多”。
8. C 此句的含义为"乐观主义也是对待生活的和它所给予的一种积极态度"。只有 A与 C与句意相符,但 supply 是不及物动词,须与介词 with 搭配,故 C 选项正确。
9. B 分析上下文意思,此处乐观主义者是更容易开始新项目,be likely to 是习惯用法,译成"倾向于,很有可能" ,be possible to 也有这样的意思,但主语一般是 it ,故选 B.
10. B 想要表示"对...,....的看法,意见,态度",可以用 opinion about,view of ,或是 attitude to/towards ,根据惯用说法,B 选项最为合适。
11. C 四个选项中只有 depend 能与 on 搭配,表示"依赖于……",其他三个选项均为及物动词,因此答案是 C.
12. A something goes wrong 是习惯说法,意思是"出毛病,弄错,发生故障",其他选项不能这样搭配。
13. C 此处涉及的惯用说法是 on the one hand... ,on the other hand ... ,翻译成"一方面……,另一方面……",C 为正确答案。
14. A regard ... as ...是固定搭配,意为"把……看做……",A 为正确答案,D 选项容易干扰应试者的判断,但具有"把……看做……"含义的短语应为 think of ... as ...。
15. B 本题涉及的两个固定搭配为 get on with 和 get over with ,前者意为"继续……",为正确答案,后者意为"完成,结束,做完了事"。
【译文】
看光明的一面
你曾经想要让自己变得更乐观吗?想过让自己变成一个总是期待成功的人吗?若是周围有个总是往事情最坏处考虑的人,我们一定没有什么乐趣——就像我们都知道某些人看到天空有一片云便说要下雨。但是你要是发现自己也这样想了,那就有必要针对它采取一些措施了。
根据心理学家的说法,人们可以改变对生活的看法。只需一点儿努力,你将发现生活会回报给你的更多。人们说乐观主义在一定程度上是自尊和自信,但它也是对待生活的和它所给予的一种积极态度。乐观主义者更有可能开始新的项目,通常也更容易准备好去承担风险。
很显然,成长经历对于你对待世界的态度的形成是至关重要的。有些人养成了过于依赖别人的习惯,一旦事情出了差错,便责备他人。然而另一方面,许多乐观主义者被教导,不要把失败当成世界末日,只需继续生活。
