【解析】文章為夾敘夾議文體，主要講述了支持的力量：支持別人也是幫助自己的過程。

【1】C考查形容詞詞義辨析及語境理解 根據(jù)上下文判斷支持別人往往是幫助別人度過難關。A項表示“不同的”；B項是“歡快的”；C項表示“具有挑戰(zhàn)性的”而D項是“明確的”意思。四個詞中能與有困難相關的只有C項的內容。

【2】B考查連詞詞義辨析 上下文意思上幫助別人的過程中最好的部分也是幫助自己，與前一句之間有一定的轉折關系，四個詞中B項的“however”可以表示。A項表因果關系；C項表示的是遞進關系而D項是并列關系，故選B。

【3】B 考查動詞詞義辨析 根據(jù)后面句子中的“you are also stopping giving support to yourself”可以判斷出如果我們拒絕幫助別人也就停止了支持自己。故B項正確。A項表示“鼓勵”；C項是“開始”而D項是“決定”的意思，故選B。

【4】A 考查名詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文來看我們拒絕幫助別人也就意味著停止了支持自己，所以這是一種跡象，A項這是此意。B項表示的“信號”；C項是“標記”而D項是“景象”的意思。

【5】C 考查名詞詞義辨析 根據(jù)下文應該是通過例證來說明支持的力量，C項的power正是此意。A項表示的是“暴力，強制力”；B項是“力氣，力量”而D項表示的是“精力”。

【6】B 考查動詞短語辨析 根據(jù)下文的“the loss”之意可以判斷出Donna是與她的男朋友分手了，故B項正是此意。A項表示的是“容忍，忍受”；C項表示的是“保持，跟得上”而D項是“趕上”的意思。

【7】A 考查形容詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文Donna與男朋友分手后的日子很難受，A項表示的“艱難的，困難的”；B項是“激動的”；C項是“快速的”而D項是“奇怪的”，故A項適合。

【8】A 考查動詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文后后面的“stayed at home alone”看出Donna拒絕別人的陪伴，A項正是此意；B項是“完成”的意思；C項是“加速，加快”而D項是“確認”的意思，故選A.

【9】C 考查動詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)前文Donna一直在哭，故用C項的stop適合。A項是“忍受”的意思；B項表示的是“隱藏”而D項是“忍受”。故選C合適。

【10】D 考查形容詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)下文出現(xiàn)了accident所以應該是不好的消息，故D項適合。A項表示“極好的”；B項是“激動的”而C項是“恐怖的”意思。

【11】D 考查動詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上文發(fā)生了事故Donna朋友的brother死去了，故應該是事故奪取了他的命，應該用D項構成“claim sb’s life”。A項應該是”kill sb”；B項是“deprive sb of sth”; C項是“抓住”的意思。故選D。

【12】B 考查副詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文，Mary的brother應該是她的全部，故B項“幾乎地”適合。A項是“非常好地”；C項是“僅僅，幾乎不”而D項是“罕見地”。

【13】A 考查動詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文Donna應該是克服自己的悲傷去幫助她的朋友去，故A項適合此意。B項表示“聚集”；C項是“識別出，辨別出”而D項是“改變”的意思。

【14】C 考查副詞短語辨析 依據(jù)上下文Donna陪伴她的朋友故應該是睡在旁邊，用C項適合。A項表示“提前”；B項是“除…以外”而D項是“和，也”意思。

【15】D 考查名詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文在陪伴朋友的期間Donna沒有感受到她自己的痛苦，故D項適合。A項表示“溫暖”；B項是“幸福”而D項是“愛”都不適合。

【16】A 考查形容詞詞義辨析 依據(jù)上下文幾個星期后生活回歸正常，故A項的“normal”適合。B項表示“經(jīng)常的”；C項是“平均的”而D項是“共同的，共性的”。

【17】B 考查動詞短語辨析 依據(jù)上下文Donna感受她給Mary的支持壓倒了她給自己的支持，故用B的“offered”適合。A項是“減少”；C項是“保護”而D項是“避免”的意思。

【18】D 考查動詞短語辨析 依據(jù)最后的“it will mirror those places within you that require the same level of attention”可以看出Donna對朋友的支持也反映出她自己對支持的同等需求，故D項的mirror正確。A項是“蠟燭”；B項是“禮物”而D項是“火炬”的意思。

【19】D 考查動詞短語辨析 依據(jù)上下文當你發(fā)現(xiàn)你不能支持別人的時候你要審視自己， 故D項短語“look in”正有此意；A項表示“抬頭看；查詢”；B項是“回頭看”而C項是“瀏覽”之意。

【20】C 考查副詞短語辨析 依據(jù)上下文來看當你能給與別人支持時也反映出也需要同等的需要，與前一句正好在意思上是相反的對比關系，故用C項的短語表示“相反地”正適合。A項表示“事實上”；B項表示“結果…”而D項是“類似地”意思，表并列關系。故選C。
