【答案】l.C2.B3.C4.B5.C6.A7.C8.B9.C10.A

【解析】

【导语】本文围绕“为工作而活还是为生活而工作''这一现代社会热议话题，探注了工作与个人生活的平衡

问题，以乔布斯为例说明过度投入工作会牺牲个人生活，最终提出我们应在重视工作的同时，兼顾个人关

系，保持工作与生活的健康平衡。

【I题详解】

句意：社会发展得越未越快，所以很少有人能抽出时间思考。

根据前后句的因果逻辑关系（社会发展更快是因，人们没时间思考是果），用so表示“所以"，符合语境。

but（但是，表转折）、and（和，表并列）均不符合逻辑。

【2题详解】

句意：他们想知道我们所遵循的方式是否是最好的解决方案。

根据句末的固定搭配“…ornot”,认helhej.ornol是固定结构，表示“是否”,用whelher符合语境。if（是

否，不能直接与ornot连用）、Ihal（引导陈述性宾语从句，无疑问含义）均不符合。

【3题详解】

句意：事实上，解决工作与个人生活平衡这个问题是相当有挑战性的。

根据固定句型“Itis+形容词+t。dosth"（做某事是……的），此处需用动词不定式作真正主语，用tosolvc

表示“解决“，符合语境。solve（动词原形）、solving（动名词，不符合该句型结构）均不符合。

【4题详解】

句意：在做出这样的决定之前，明智的做法是向自己一个严肃的问题，明智的做法是向自己一个严肃的问

题：你真的希望将来组建家庭吗？

根据介词before的用法，介词后需接动名词形式，用making构成“Befbremakingsuchadecision"（在做出

这样的决定之前），符合语法规则。make（动词原形）、tomake（动词不定式，不能直接跟在介词后）均不

符合。

【5题详解】

句意：在做出这样的决定之前，明智的做法是问自己一个严肃的问题，明智的做法是问自己一个严肃的问

题：你真的希望将来组建家庭吗？

根据固定搭配“askoneselfaquestion"（问自己一个问题），此处需用反身代词,用yourself表示"你自己”,

符合语境。you（人称代词宾格，意为“你”）、your（形容词性物主代词，后需接名词）均不符合。

【6题详解】

句意：在做出这样的决定之前，明智的做法是问自己一个严肃的问题，明智的做法是问自己一个严肃的问

题：你真的希望将来组建家庭吗？

根据句子结构，此处需修饰动词wish,修饰动词需用副词，用truly表示“直正地”，符合语境。true（形容

词，意为“真实的”，不能修饰动词）、truth（名词，意为“真相”，不能修饰动词）均不符合。

。题详解】

句意：他认为，无论他多富有，家庭时光多美好，保持有创造力的状态并带来新技术更重要。

根据系动词stay的用法，stay后需接形容词作表语，表示“保持某种状态“，用creative表示“有创造力

的”，构成“staycreative”（保持创新/保持创造力），符合语境。create（动词，意为“创造”,不能直接跟在

stay后）、creativity（名词，意为“创造力”，作表语语义不通）均不符合。

【8题详解】

句意：在我看来，虽然工作在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，我们不能忽视个人关系的价值，比如家

庭、朋友和社交聚会。

根据前后句的让步逻辑关系（“工作重要”与“不能忽视人际关系'构成转折让步），用although表示“虽然、

尽管“，引导让步状语从句，符合语境。so（所以，表因果）、until（直到，表时间）均不符合逻辑。

【9题详解】

句意：在我看来，虽然工作在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，我们不能忽视个人关系的这种价值，比如

家庭、朋友和社交聚会。

根据"valueofpersonalrelationships”的特指用法，此处“价值”被“个人关系”限定，是特指概念，需用定冠伺

the,构成“thevalueof…”（……的价值），符合语法规则。a/an（不定冠词，表泛指）均不符合。

【10题详解】

句意：就像我们需要均衡的饮食来维持身体健康■样，我们也需要工作和生活之间的健康平衡来保持我们

的幸福。

根据语义逻辑，“均衡饮食”的目的是“保持身体健康”，用for表示“为了“，符合语境。with（和……一

起）、t。（到、向）均不符合语义.

二、完型填空（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

通读下面短文。掌握其大意，然后在各小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案，将其字母编号填写在

答卷相应题目的位置上。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了微笑对减压、保护心脏和保持健康的积极作用。文章引用了一项大学

研究，证明不同的微笑方式能帮助人们在压力情境下保持冷静、降低心率，并建议在感到压力时尝试微

笑。

[11题详解】

句意：当你处于来自学习或工作的巨大压力之下时，为什么不试着微笑一下呢？

上文提到变化无常的天气让人容易烦躁或沮丧，下文讨论微笑可以减压。underpressure为固定搭配，意为

“处于压力之下”，pressure与后文“reduceyourstresslevels”直接呼应。

【12题详解】

句意：研究人员发现，微笑可以成功降低你的压力水平。

微笑对压力的作用是减少。lower意为“降低”，与stresslevels搭配，符合研究发现中微笑的枳极效果。后

文提到降低心率、保持冷静，都是lower的具体表现。

[13题详解】

句意：它还能让你的心脏更强壮，帮助你保持健康。

微笑除了降低压力，还对心肮和整体健康有益。healIhy与“makeyourheartstronger”并歹U，说明微笑对身心

的双重好处。

【14题详解】

句意：堪萨斯大学的一位讲师做了一项研究，探讨在困难情境中不同类型的微笑所带来的影响。

下文明确将志愿者分成三组，每组被要求保持不同的面部表情：标准微笑、真挚微笑、无表情。这是对微

笑的“类型”进行分类研究，lypes意为“类型”，与实验设计一致。

【15题详解】

句意：每组被要求保持不同的面部表情：标准微笑、真挚微笑和无表情的脸。

研究者需要对比微笑与不微笑的效果。expressionless意为“无表情的“，与标准微笑和真挚微笑形成对照，

是实验中的控制组。

【16题详解】

句意：然后，他们让志愿者完成一些有压力的任务——有些任务甚至故意出错以测试他们的反应。

实验需要观察志愿者在压力下的反应，故意设置出错环节是常见的实验方法。onpurpose意为“故意地”，

符合实验设计逻辑。

【17题详解】

句意：起初，许多志愿者感到焦虑并想惊慌失措，但受过微笑训练的参与者保持耐心。

与、vantcdtopanic”对应，说明他们在压力任务开始时的情绪状态。upset意为“焦虑的、不安的”，与后文

“trainedsmilersstayedpatient”形成对比。

【18题详解】

句意：那些微笑的人在活动后心率更低，并且他们能更好地避免变得过度担忧和紧张。

微笑训练的效果是帮助人们远离负面情绪。avoid意为“避免”，与"gettingtooworriedandnervous”搭配，描

述微笑的积极作用。

【19题详解】

句意：即使是一个简单的微笑也能帮助他们应对压力，保持冷静。

微笑帮助人们处理压力情境。dealwith意为“应对、处理“，与siress搭配，强调微笑作为应对策略的有效

性。

【20题详解】

句意：这是一种简单但有效的方法来减轻压力、保护你的心脏，甚至在你事情出错时帮助原谅自己。

人生中难免遇到不顺心的事。whenthingsgowrong为固定表达，意为“当事情出错时”，与"fbrgiveyourself

形戊逻辑关联，说明微笑也有助于自我宽恕。
