成為關(guān)注的焦點、被取笑或被評判)”可知，本段與上一段構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，主要是在說明男人不情愿跳舞的緣由，故E選項“但是對于我們大多數(shù)男人來說，我們不情愿參加”符合語境，故選E?！?8題詳解】依據(jù)上文“Womenmaysaywehavetorelax,getonourfeetandjustletourselvesgo!(女人可能會說我們必需放松，站起來，釋放自我！)”以及后文“Butwhathelpsisacrowdeddancefloorwherethereissafetyinnumbers.(但有幫助的是一個擁擠的舞池，在那里人多平安)”可知，上文提到女人說男人應(yīng)當釋放自我，去跳舞，后文則提到男人要借助擁擠的舞池來獲得平安感，說明男人要跳舞這件事，說起來簡單做起來卻難。故F選項“說起來簡單做起來難”符合語境，故選F?！?9題詳解】依據(jù)上文“Andaccordingtothesurvey(依據(jù)調(diào)查)”以及后文“Onemanquestionedsaid,‘Idon’tthinkI’mverygoodatitandthereforeneedsomeDutchcouragetogetmeonthefloor.’(一名受訪男性說：“我不認為我很擅長這個，因此須要一些志氣來讓我上場?！?”可知，本句是在說明調(diào)查內(nèi)容，指出男人跳舞須要一些東西來給自己供應(yīng)志氣，故D選項“很多男人須要喝點東西”符合語境，故選D?！?0題詳解】依據(jù)后文“Weneedtraining,weneedtopracticeandweneedtoloseourinhibitions.(我們須要訓練，我們須要練習，我們須要擺脫束縛)”可知，后文列舉了男人跳舞須要的各種幫助，后文中weneed可對應(yīng)到G選項中menjustneed。故G選項“所以讓我們面對現(xiàn)實吧，男人只是須要幫助”符合語境，故選G。第三部分語言學問運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。WhenSusanwokeupatfivethirtya.m.,thefirstthingshedidwascheckherworke-mailatherkitchentable.Shewouldspendagoodforty-fiveminutesovercoffeerespondingtoquestions.Thenshe___21___offonanhour-longjourneytoputinaten-hourdayasakeymanagerforalargecompany.Herjobwas___22___—conflictstobenegotiatedandfirestobeputout.Bysixp.m.,shewasalreadyexhausted,_____23_____sheusuallyfeltitherdutytostaylateorgooutforordrinkswithcoworkers.Susanwantedtostartherown_____24_____,andwastakingstepsto_____25_____herselffinanciallyandprofessionally.However,mosteveningsshewastoo_____26_____tomakemuchprogressonherownbusinessplan,andshe_____27_____thatshe’dbestuckinherpresentjobforever.WhenSusananalyzedhowshewasspendingherwillpower,itwasobviousthather_____28_____wasgettingahundredpercent.Thekitchen-tablee-mailsessionwasa(n)_____29_____habitfromwhenshewasnewtothejobandeagertoexceedexpectations.Butnow,therewasnogoodreasonthosee-mailscouldn’t_____30_____untilshegottotheofficeateighta.m.Susandecidedthattheonlytimeofdayshewaslikelytohavethementalenergytopursueherowngoalswas_____31_____herworkday.Shemadeithernew_____32_____tospendthefirsthourofthedaybuildingherbusiness,not_____33_____everyoneelse’sneeds.ThiswasasmartmoveforSusan.Italso_____34_____animportantwillpowerrule:ifyouneverseemtohawthetimeandenergyforyour“Iwill”challenge,scheduleitforwhenyouhavethemost_____35_____.21.A.took
