Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships, couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just__50__ and deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship. __51__ ,denying the existence of conflict results in couples _52___ to solve their problems at early__53__ ,which can then lead to even greater problems later on .Not surprisingly, expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital (婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning. However, this pattern of behavior _54___ increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.
　　So, what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships? First, try to understand the other person’s point of view__55__ put yourself in his of her place. People who are _56___ to what their partner thinks and feels _57___ greater relationship satisfaction. For example, researchers found that among people in dating relationships  58____ marriages, those who can adopt their partner’s perspective show more positive emotions, more relationship-enhancing attributes and more constructive responses _59___ conflict.
　　Second, because conflict and disagreements are an __60__ part of close relationships，people need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and __61__ forgiveness from their partners for their own acts. Apologies minimize conflict, lead to forgiveness, and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line with this view, spouses（配偶） who are more forgiving show higher mental quality over time. Increasingly, apologizing can even have _62___ health benefits. For example, when people reflect on hurtful __63__ and grudges(怨恨)，they show negative physiological(生理的) effects, including __64__  heart rate and blood pressure, compared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-taking and forgiving.

試題分析：本文敘述了沖突和分歧是夫妻間的生活不可缺少的組成部分，一些夫妻不能在事件早期解決他們的問(wèn)題，這可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致以后甚至?xí)懈蟮膯?wèn)題。要試著理解對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn)和與對(duì)方換位思考一下。人們需要能為他們做錯(cuò)的事情向?qū)Ψ街虑�，道歉能使沖突最小化，最后得到諒解。
小題1:考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。resolve解決； regret后悔； abandon 放棄； avoid避免。結(jié)合空格旁邊的連詞and，可知前后為并列關(guān)系，由于后面給出的是deny，故在選項(xiàng)中找與deny意思相近的詞即可。故選D。
小題2:考查副詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。besides此外，而且； therefore因此； moreover此外，而且； however可是。邏輯連詞題，一般做法是看前后，找重復(fù)，體會(huì)變化。我們要兼顧上一句的信息，重復(fù)在于denying, conflict, couples基本上本句的開(kāi)頭部分是上一句的重復(fù)，但是變化也明顯，本句最后講到更大的問(wèn)題，也就是把上一句基本都否定掉了，是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故本題選擇However。另外本題也有一個(gè)小技巧，besides和moreover的意思和用法是完全一樣的，可直接排除，降低題目難度。故選D。
小題3:考查動(dòng)名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。trying嘗試； declining下降； failing失敗； striving努力。根據(jù)下文which can then lead to even greater problems later  可知處理問(wèn)題失敗，故選C。
小題4:考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。ages年齡； years年；at early stages在早期階段； intervals間隔。否認(rèn)沖突的存在導(dǎo)致了在早期階段沒(méi)有處理好他們的問(wèn)題，故選C。
小題5:考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。prescribes開(kāi)藥方； protests抗議； proves證明；predicts預(yù)言。不奇怪的是，在最初時(shí)期，表達(dá)憤怒和分歧導(dǎo)致了較低的婚姻滿意度。根據(jù)空格后面的賓語(yǔ)increases（增加，增長(zhǎng)），和主語(yǔ)pattern（樣式，圖案），再結(jié)合本句開(kāi)頭的however，前面講低，后面增長(zhǎng)，說(shuō)明了空格處應(yīng)該填寫一個(gè)對(duì)未來(lái)的增長(zhǎng)的預(yù)測(cè)。故選D。
小題6:考查連詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。so因此； while盡管； but但是； and表示前后是并列關(guān)系。所以說(shuō)，在你自己的（婚姻）關(guān)系中，你要做些什么來(lái)管理沖突？試圖想想其他人的觀點(diǎn)并且可以換位思考一下，故選D。
小題7:考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。sensitive敏感的； superior優(yōu)秀的； exclusive獨(dú)有的；efficient生效的。那些對(duì)他們伴侶的想法和感覺(jué)敏感的人會(huì)經(jīng)歷更大的（婚姻）關(guān)系的滿足感。故選A。
小題8:考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。expose揭露，曝光； experience經(jīng)歷； explore探索；exploit開(kāi)發(fā)。人們應(yīng)該是講經(jīng)歷了滿足感。故選B。
小題9:考查短語(yǔ)及上下文的呼應(yīng)。as long as只要； as far as就……而言； as well as和； as soon as一……就。前面是戀愛(ài)關(guān)系，后面是婚姻，兩者相似，故選as well as表示并列，故選C。
小題10:考查介詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。用to　表示對(duì)于沖突而言，故選A。
小題11:考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。absolute絕對(duì)的； inevitable必然的，不可避免的； essential必要的；obvious顯然的。沖突和分歧是婚姻關(guān)系中一個(gè)不可避免的組成部分，故選B。
小題12:考查動(dòng)詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。require要求； inquire詢問(wèn)； receive收到； achieve達(dá)到。人們需要因?yàn)樽鲥e(cuò)了事而向?qū)Ψ降狼福⑶乙材艿玫綄?duì)方的原諒，故選C。
小題13:考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。creative創(chuàng)造性的； positive積極的； objective客觀的；competitive比賽的。漸漸地，道歉對(duì)身體有積極的健康的益處。故選B。
小題14:考查名詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。prospects前景； concepts概念； memories回憶； outlooks展望。當(dāng)人們有受傷的回憶和怨恨時(shí)，故選C。
小題15:考查形容詞及上下文的呼應(yīng)。added增加的； toughened堅(jiān)韌的； strengthened加強(qiáng)的；　　 increased增強(qiáng)的。當(dāng)人們有受傷的回憶和怨恨時(shí)，他們會(huì)產(chǎn)生消極的生理的影響，包括心率加快和血壓升高。heart rate心率，表達(dá)心率加快應(yīng)該用increased，故用D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：做完形題時(shí)要看清上下文，找準(zhǔn)定位詞。充分利用文章的上下文和前后句，找到對(duì)選擇有提示作用的詞或句。這些詞有時(shí)可能是同義詞或反義詞。通順邏輯，尋求搭配。注意固定的搭配，包括動(dòng)詞與介詞的搭配、動(dòng)詞與名詞的搭配以及形容詞與名詞的搭配等，同時(shí)要根據(jù)內(nèi)容選擇正確的短語(yǔ)。扎實(shí)基礎(chǔ)，搞清辨異�？辞鍒�(zhí)行者，確定所選詞。尋求上下邏輯，從容確定關(guān)系。了解生活常識(shí)，確定相關(guān)知識(shí)。

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance,   41   for the train to take me to my   42  in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves,  43  their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the  44  was getting close, my hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 45 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt  46 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be  47 there. “What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me. “Oh, nothing…. Well, I  48   my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to  49   my match class, and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.” The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up,  5 0 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own  51 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers. “Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“  52  it – go!” The man pushed me  53  the train.  I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I  54 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood   55  .
For the train ride I was wordless. I began to see the world through  56 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple  57  .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra 20$  58  I saw the man. And there he was. “Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I  59  the money into his hand. Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.
The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a   60  stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
小題1:Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A．He was silent most of the timeB．He was too proud of himself
C．He did not love his childrenD．He expected too much of her
小題2:When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel         .
A．nervousB．sorryC．tiredD．safe
小題3:What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A．More criticalB．More talkative
C．Gentle and friendlyD．Strict and hard-working
小題4:The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to           .
A．the author’s sonB．the author’s father
C．the friend of the author’s fatherD．the cafe owner

Directions: For each blank in the passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque (如畫的) countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to ___50___, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it ___51___ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, ___52___ realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape ___53___ which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might ___54___ have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened ___55___, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists (薄霧) which now ___56___ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing (迷人的). My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to ___57___ it disappeared. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the ___58___ of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the ___59___ of one’s own sensibilities.
It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my ___60___ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely ___61___ and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, __62__ with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final ___63___, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is dangerously weak ___64___ based on enduring principles of moral conduct.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say .Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁)calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, ”If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died. ”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today .That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate ,was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home, putting off the operation----would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needｓ,and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him，and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
小題1:The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because_______.
A．he was minister of the local church
B．he wanted to comfort the two families
C．he was an official of the community
D．he had great pity for the deceased
小題2:People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because________.
A．they can’t find a better way of express their sorrow
B．they have neglected the natural course of events
C．they believe that they were the reason
D．the don’t know things often turn in the opposite direction
小題3:According to the main passage, the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means that________.
A．everything in the world is predetermined
B．there’s an explanation for everything in the world
C．the world can be interpreted in different ways
D．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
小題4:What’s the main idea of the message?
A .Life and death is an unsolved mystery.
B. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.
C Every story should have a happy ending.
D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.

People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
　　Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
小題1:________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.
A．Common knowledge

小題2:The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.
A．people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer
B．people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health

小題3:We can infer from the passage __________.

A
Once there was a man who liked to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived — a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.
He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: “What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”
That’s what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (復(fù)仇).
He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.
However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引誘) him to try his best and save himself.
“I should be thankful and not angry.”
