usly mentioned questions no longer concern me, as I have put a stop to the idea that the “real” me is some lost isolated island on top of an ocean of influence. I realized that my personality cannot depend on a(n) 13 between influence and individualism, as such is a line that cannot be distinct. 14 , I must be a person whose calmness is a beautifully hazy mixture, and a steady question. Thus, it is the monly unnoticed durable mystery that is the frustration of those who can 15 the lie of individualism. Hopefully, they will e into acceptance.1.

What part of me is just me?...”可知,這些問題煩擾作者著并讓作者感到困惑。故選C。 (10)考查名詞。句意:我和別人之間有隔閡嗎?A. separation“分離”;B. bination“結(jié)合”;C. contras “對(duì)比”;D. munication“交流”。這是表示自己的個(gè)人主義使自己和其他人分離了,所以作者在發(fā)出疑問。故選A。 (11)考查名詞。句意:這些將會(huì)繼續(xù)被考慮,因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)接受了這些調(diào)查仍然是個(gè)謎。A. secret“秘密”;B. mystery“謎”;C. truth“真理”;D. fantasy“幻想”。根據(jù)“Such are inquiries that will continue to be thought about”可知,這些調(diào)查將會(huì)繼續(xù)被考慮,所以判斷調(diào)查仍然是一個(gè)謎。故選B。 (12)考查名詞。句意:因此,在考慮到這些問題的情況下,答復(fù)必須是對(duì)自己定義的改變。A. gap“間隙”;B. belief“信念”;C. factor“因素”;D. change“改變”。根據(jù)下文“I realized that…I must be a person…”可知,作者意識(shí)到了要去改變自己。故選D。 (13)考查名詞。句意:我意識(shí)到,我的個(gè)性不能依賴于影響力和個(gè)人主義之間的區(qū)別,因?yàn)檫@是一條無(wú)法區(qū)分的界線。A. distinction“區(qū)分”;B. connection“聯(lián)系”;C. exchange“交換”;D. medium“媒質(zhì)”。根據(jù)“as such is a line that cannot be distinct”可知,因?yàn)檫@是一條無(wú)法區(qū)分的界線,所以我的個(gè)性不能依賴于影響力和個(gè)人主義之間的區(qū)別。故選A。 (14)考查副詞。句意:相反,我必須是一個(gè)冷靜的人,冷靜是一個(gè)美麗而朦朧的混合物,也是一個(gè)堅(jiān)定的問題。A. Therefore“因此”;B. However“然而”;C. Instead“反而”;D. Furthermore“此外”。前后語(yǔ)意轉(zhuǎn)折。故選C。 (15)考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。句意:因此,正是那些能看穿個(gè)人主義謊言的人的沮喪,才是人們普遍忽視的持久之謎。A. break up“破裂”;B. make up“組成”;C. cope with“處理”;D. see through“看穿”。see through“看穿”能更好地反應(yīng)人們對(duì)個(gè)人主義謊言的無(wú)奈和沮喪,但這種無(wú)奈和沮喪卻被人們普遍忽視。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)本題考點(diǎn)涉及動(dòng)詞,名詞,形容詞,副詞,連詞,固定短語(yǔ)等多個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)的考查,是一篇社會(huì)類閱讀,要求考生在理解細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析推理,從而選出正確答案。 】7.閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,故答案選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 The job of raising children is a tough one.
