Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中的兩項為多余選項。

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 【1】 . 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. 【2】 .

●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. 【3】 . 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. 【4】 .

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. 【5】 . 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. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we’re about to do.

B. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

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. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】G

【3】B

【4】D

【5】A

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，描述了如何去擺脫害怕的感覺的四種方法。

【1】F 根據(jù)橫線后一句Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life .....可知此處提到害怕也會使我們遠離追求我們的生活中的一些東西，是說明害怕的另一個壞的影響。所以上文應(yīng)提到害怕的一個壞的影響。故F項正確。

【2】G 本段的主題是經(jīng)歷害怕擺脫害怕的一種方法，而G選項恰恰說的是我們要擺脫害怕就應(yīng)把我們自己置于我們害怕的事情當(dāng)中，所以G項和本段標(biāo)題相吻合。另一方面本段前面用自己的實例來說明把自己置于害怕的事情中反而不再害怕。故G正確。

【3】B 本段的標(biāo)題為創(chuàng)造空間，另外根據(jù)本段第一句和第二句The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space .....可知防止害怕的另一種方式是創(chuàng)造一個空間，而創(chuàng)造空間不是靠忽略害怕而形成。下文應(yīng)該說空間應(yīng)被怎么創(chuàng)造。故B正確。

【4】D 本題橫線前主要講述面對害怕的第二步是控制呼吸和感知害怕，當(dāng)我們控制呼吸之后就能了解害怕的身體癥狀，緊接著我們才能客觀地看待害怕。故D正確。

【5】A 根據(jù)本段橫線后面的句子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可知此處在舉例子說明我們可以為我們將要做的事想象出一個積極的結(jié)果，故A正確。
