题目解答
答案
解析
本题主要考查词汇在语境中的运用以及一些固定搭配的使用。解题时需要结合上下文的语义逻辑,同时考虑常见的英语短语和表达习惯。
- “cuts...of”结构,结合语境,在快速结账通道里有人应该是插到“你”前面,“cut in front of”是固定表达,意为“插到……前面”,所以填“in front”。
- 前文提到自己花了几个月做项目,而懒惰的同事却得到了某种东西,“get the credit”表示“得到功劳;获得认可”,符合语境,所以填“credit”。
- “lose one's temper”是固定短语,意思是“发脾气;失去理智”,这里说在发脾气之前深呼吸,所以填“temper”。
- 这里将“express the anger”(表达愤怒)和“hold it in”(把愤怒憋在心里)进行对比,专家说不管是表达愤怒还是憋在心里,对健康的影响是一样的,所以填“express”。
- “set someone off”是固定短语,意为“使某人发怒;触发某人的情绪”,这里说反思别人为什么让你发怒,所以填“off”。
- 要诚实地问自己自己的愤怒是否合理,“reasonable”表示“合理的;有道理的”,符合语境,所以填“reasonable”。
- “be aware of”是固定短语,意思是“意识到;知道”,通过写下感受和情况,会更意识到让自己生气的事情,所以填“aware”。
- 前面说意识到让自己生气的事情,这里进一步说甚至可能改变它们,“change”表示“改变”,符合逻辑,所以填“change”。
- “build up”有“积累;逐渐增强”的意思,“feel anger building up”表示“感觉愤怒在积累”,所以填“building”。
- “put...into action”是固定短语,意为“把……付诸行动”,当感觉愤怒积累起来时,就该把解决问题的技能付诸行动了,所以填“action”。
