　　Answers called out 　5　 from 8 ounce(盎司)to 20 ounce.?

　　She replied,“The absolute weight doesn’t 　6　.It depends on 　7　 I hold it.If I hold it for a minute,it’s not a 　8　.If I hold it for an hour,I’ll have an ache in my 　9　.If I hold it for a day,my arm will feel 　10　.In each case,the 　11　 of the glass doesn’t change,　12　 the longer I hold it,the heavier it becomes.”?

　　She continued:“Our 　13　 and worries in life are 　14　 that glass of water.Think about them for a while and 　15　 happens.Think about them a bit longer and they begin to 　16　.And if you think about them all day long,you will feel paralyzed—　17　 of doing anything.”?

　　It’s important to remember to 　18　 your stresses.As early in the evening as you can,put all your 　19　 down.Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night.　20　 to put the glass down!?

　　1.A.removed　B.raised

　　C.drank D.demanded

　　答案:B

　　2.A.doubted B.wished

　　答案:C

　　3.A.Instead B.Besides

　　C.Thus D.Also

　　解析:前后兩句之間是轉折關系,所以選A項,instead“相反”。

　　答案:A

　　解析:學生喊出的答案從8盎司到20盎司不等,所以這里用ranged,表示“在……范圍內變化”。

　　答案:A

　　6.A.affect B.matter

　　C.benefit D.help

　　解析:根據下文“It depends on 　7　 I hold it.”可知,老師的意思是水杯的絕對重量不　,而是取決于她舉著杯子的時間長短。matter為不及物動詞,意為“要緊,重要”;affect為及物動詞,表示“影響”;benefit “受益,有益于”,根據語境可知答案為B項。?

　　答案:B

　　C.how far D.how long

　　解析:從下文老師說的一分鐘和一小時可知答案為D項。

　　解析:從上文可知,杯子里的水的重量沒有改變,改變的只是舉杯的時間。

　　解析:前后句之間是轉折關系,所以選C項。

　　答案:C

　　13.A.stresses B.joys

　　C.surprises D.doubts

　　答案:A

　　14.A.beyond B.within

　　C.through D.like

　　解析:從下文可以看出老師把人生中的壓力與擔憂比作這杯水,故選D項。

　　解析:stresses和worries都屬于負擔(burdens)。

　　答案:B

　　20.A.Refuse B.Promise
