Question

18．Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience，fear may top the list．
（36）F．Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter-like following our dreams，and developing important relationships．I have some ideas，though，of how to be free from fear．
●Experience fear．
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people．I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat．However，each time I spoke，I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad．Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind．（37）D．
●Create space．
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear．This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear，or trying to talk ourselves out of it．（38）A．In fact，a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the"fight or flight（逃避）"response in the body．
●Control the breath and feel the fear．
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear，the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler．We try to make the breath just a little bit longer，and feel how fear manifests（展現(xiàn)） in the body．（39）G．
With practice，we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one．（40）B．For instance，before I get up to speak in front of a group of people，I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully．

A．Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists．
B．We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do．
C．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can even destroy our life．
D．So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear．
E．When we can see a positive outcome in our mind，fear no longer holds us back．
F．But fear is more than just physically unpleasant．
G．As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear，we can see fear objectively．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一些消除恐懼的方式，如讓我們做害怕的事情，誠實(shí)地承認(rèn)恐懼的存在，對(duì)待情感變得更加客觀，積極向上等．

解答 36．F．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文的句子"Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter"（恐懼也會(huì)阻止我們追求那些能讓生活變得美好的事情），可知這里是：但是恐懼不只是一種生理上的不愉快．故選F．
37．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文的句子"Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind．"（我害怕的事情實(shí)際上沒有那么糟糕，當(dāng)我在腦海里思考它們的時(shí)候）．可知這里是：更快的消除恐懼的方式就是讓我們做害怕的事情．故選D．
38．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題Create space．及前兩句"The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear．This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear，or trying to talk ourselves out of it．"（無畏的第一個(gè)也是最重要的一步是在自己和害怕的情感之間創(chuàng)造空間．這不是通過忽視恐懼或說服自己不要害怕）．可知這里是：當(dāng)我們誠實(shí)地承認(rèn)恐懼的存在的時(shí)候，空間就被創(chuàng)造出來了．故選A．
39．G．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文的句子"We try to make the breath just a little bit longer，and feel how fear manifests（展現(xiàn)） in the body．"（我們盡量讓呼吸時(shí)間更長一點(diǎn)，感覺恐懼在身體里面是怎么展現(xiàn)的）．可知這里是：當(dāng)我們注意到恐懼的生理現(xiàn)象后，我們對(duì)待情感變得更加客觀了．故選G．
40．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文的句子"For instance，before I get up to speak in front of a group of people，I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully．"（在演講之前，我們可以相信聽眾對(duì)我們說的內(nèi)容印象深刻）．可知這里是：不管我們做什么，我們都可以想象一個(gè)積極的結(jié)果．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．
