ApletingamarathonwasnottoodifficultB.peopleoftenneglecttheirabilitiesC.lookingdownupontheothersiswrongD.peopleshouldn’tletnegativethoughtsstepintheirway答案D解析推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Truthbetold,theonlypersonwhotellsyou‘Ican’t’isyourself.Ifyouhearthosewordsechoinginthebackofyourmind,tunethemout.”可知,作者在得知60歲的鄰居完成了馬拉松競賽后,感慨人們不應(yīng)當讓消極的想法阻礙自己,不要對自己說“我不行”。故選D項。3.Whydoesourmindmakeexcuses?A.Ittendstoseekcomfortratherthansuffering.B.Itneedsrestandrelaxation.C.Itispreparingforthedifficulttimes.D.Itisthewayittriestofindasolution.答案A解析細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“Sowhydoesthemindmesswithusandmakeunreasonableexcuses?Becausethemindwantscomfort,that’sthereason.It’safraidofdiscomfort,pressureandchange.”可知,我們大腦找借口的緣由是它更傾向于尋求舒適而不是苦痛。故選A項。4.Whatmight“groundzero”inparagraph2referto?A.Thelowestspot.B.Thesafestplace.C.Theoriginalplace. D.Theproperposition.答案C解析詞義揣測題。依據(jù)本段的“Themindisabsorbedinitscomfortzone,andanytimewetrytostretchthatzonetoofar,fortoolong,themindtriesdesperatelytogetbackto‘groundzero’atanycost.”可知,我們的大腦被它的舒適區(qū)所吸引,這說明大腦不愿離開自己的舒適區(qū)。由此可知,此處是說當大腦遠離自己的舒適區(qū)時,它會不惜一切代價舍命地試圖回到前面提到的“舒適區(qū)”,即“原來的地方”,故選C項。四、完形填空Oneday,Iwascaughtinamassive6-lanetrafficjamatastoplight.Butitwasanoverheatedcar,deadinthemiddlelane(車道).Withcarsdrivingallaroundher,Icouldn’t1anywherewithoutmakingthingsworse.Ihadtoturnleftinthicktrafficandcouldn’t2foracoupleofblocks.Ithought,“MaybethisisoneIshouldletsomeoneelsetakecareof.”
