daffected【语篇解读】22年的婚姻之后，作者发现了维系夫妇二人良好关系的秘诀，那就是与另外一个女人约会，这个女人不是别人，正是自己的母亲。1c根据1空后面的内容可知，作者的妻子认为人生太“短暂”。2a此处与第一段中的relationship相呼应，意思是这样做能让我们之间的关系“更加亲密”。3a根据第一段后半部分中的dating可知，作者的妻子鼓励作者与之“约会”的对象是作者的母亲。4d根据4空前面的widow可知，作者的母亲是一位寡妇，由此可知她自从丈夫在20年前“去世”后就一直独居。另外，5空前面的death是线索提示。5c就在父亲去世后，作者“搬”到了2 500英里之外的加利福尼亚，开始了自己的生活和事业。此外，下一句开头部分的内容也是线索提示。6c虽然作者自我承诺多花时间陪母亲，但是由于工作和三个孩子的“需要”，除了家庭团聚和假期之外，作者从未能履行自己的诺言。7a参见上题解析。此处beyond表示“除之外”。8d作者此前很少陪伴母亲，如今突然给母亲打电话并建议两人一同外出就餐和看电影，她显然很“惊讶”。本句中的suspicious也是线索提示。9b作者和母亲并没有去任何“豪华的”地方，仅仅去了一个附近的可以说话的地方。10a“因为”她的视力不佳，作者不得不将菜单读给母亲听。11c此处与上一段中的read相呼应，意思是当作者小的时候，作者的母亲经常是“读者”。12b如今作者的母亲年事已高，是作者“回报”恩惠的时候了。13a作者和母亲在晚饭期间交谈甚欢，此处over表示“在期间”。14c作者和母亲交谈的时间很长，以至于“错过”了那部电影。15d根据下一段中的内容可知，作者的妻子询问的是这次约会“如何”。16d根据第8空后面的“go out to dinner”可知作者和母亲每个月都要出去吃几次“晚饭”。17c上文提到作者和母亲长时间交谈，以至于错过了电影，由此可知，两人在一起的时候“主要”是交谈。18a通过交谈，作者知道了母亲如何与父亲相识和他们如何“渡过”那些困难时光。19d根据上下文内容可知，这些故事对作者而言很“重要”。20c根据第一段第一句的内容可知，与母亲约会对作者的婚姻有“帮助”。.阅读理解many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonablethought，and sometimes land us in trouble.but in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view.keith oatley，professor of psychology at glasgow university，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions.he believes we_are_very_ambivalent_about_them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human.for example，mr spock，a character in the television series star trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.however，he is never made captain of the spaceship.maybe，this is because mr spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings witha person who shows his emotions.as professor oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.if we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.we stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.the emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety.on the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.as a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job.anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on.professor oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.with fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing.1whats keith oatleys opinion about emotions?athey affect reasonable thought.bthey get us into trouble.cthey are helpful to us.dthey are reasonable.2what does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them” in paragraph 2 mean?awe have contradictory feelings towards emotions.bwe have similar ideas of emotions.cwe are quite clear about emotions.dwe can do nothing about emotions.3which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?afear helps us to be careful about our surroundings.bhappiness inspires us to continue what we are doing.canger may urge us to make greater efforts.danger tends to do us more harm than good.4it can be inferred from the passage that_.awe must control our emotions in daily lifebemotions play a more important part than we realizecpositive emotions such as love and joy are good for usdnegative emotions make us continue what we are doing【语篇解读】相关研究表明，情感对人而言至关重要，不可或缺。1c细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句中的“which shows the fundamental importance of emotions”以及第三段中的“our emotions have very important functions”可知，oatley认为情感对我们来说是有益的。2a句意理解题。根据第二段中的“we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human”可知，我们认为我们的情感毫无道理，但对于我们人类来说，它是必不可少的，这足以说明我们的矛盾心理。3d细节理解题。本题可用排除法。根据第三段的内容可知a项正确；根据第四段的最后一句可知b项正确；根据第五段的最后一句可知c项正确。4b推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可推知，积极的情感和消极的情感都发挥着比我们意识到的更重要的作用。.短文改错i was working in a beer
