Just as a _37_ mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, _38_ do all of the people in our lives. When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden

34、, that garden _39_ a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n) _40_ of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply _41_ into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”. _42_， when we meet someone new, we feel as tho

38、t's simply just another way to create more self­awareness.36A.target BstyleCfunction Dcolor解析根据下一句可知，本句是说镜子具有独特的功能或作用，因此选择function，意为“功能”。答案C37A.medical Bphysical Cchemical Dmental解析就像人们可以从有形的镜子中看到自己，生活中的所有人也同样可以反映自己。physical“有形的”。答案B38A.so Bthen Cnor Dneither解析本句是把我们生活中的人比作镜子，因为前面的句子是肯定形式，

39、因此选择so，表示“某人或某物也”。 答案A39A.focuses on Bapplies to Cworks with Dserves as解析我们所看到的漂亮的花园也是一面镜子。serve as“充当”，符合题意。答案D40A.reward Bevaluation Creflection Dexample解析我们爱别人就是爱我们自己的反映。答案C41A.grows Btranslates Centers Dfalls解析从句意可知，本句是对前面句子的解释，因此用translate。答案B42A.Obviously BStrangely CFortunately DFrequently解析经

42、人时，这种情况就更为明显。想与他们相处更短的时间，即不喜欢与他们相处，因此less符合题意。答案A50A.appreciate Bdislike Cdescribe Ddiscover解析本文从两个方面阐述镜子的作用，第三段是积极的反映，第四、五段是消极的反映，因此选择dislike。答案B51A.shouting Bshining Cspeaking Dpointing解析我们不喜欢别人身上的品性，这也是“镜子”的作用。speak to sb.对某人诉说，符合语意。答案C52A.new Bnervous Cfamiliar Dfriendly解析根据下文的“feel distant，disc
