解析
本题为阅读填空题,主要考查细节理解、主旨判断和推理判断能力。解题核心在于通过上下文逻辑关系和关键词复现,确定空缺处与段落内容的衔接。需注意以下关键点:
- 关键词复现:如选项中的“reasons”“trigger”等与原文核心词对应。
- 逻辑衔接:通过段落主题句和前后句的逻辑(因果、转折等)判断空缺处内容。
- 段落主题:部分空需结合段落整体内容,判断其主旨句或补充说明。
(1)F
关键逻辑:前文提到“生气的主要原因包括触发事件、个性特征和对情境的评估”,选项F中“了解这些原因将帮助我们控制愤怒”与前文形成递进关系,且“reasons”与原文复现。
(2)G
关键逻辑:后文解释“不同人被触发的原因在于个人历史和心理特征”,选项G中“不同人对事件的反应不同”直接引出后文,且“Not everyone acts the same”与后文形成衔接。
(3)E
关键逻辑:前文描述“具有竞争力和低耐受力的人格特质的人更容易生气”,选项E中“这些特质意味着处于愤怒前状态”是对前文的进一步解释,且“personality traits”与原文复现。
(4)A
关键逻辑:后文提到“消极态度会引发愤怒”,选项A中“对情境的态度会制造愤怒”是本段的主旨句,后文内容为其具体展开。
(5)D
关键逻辑:后文转折强调“愤怒易引发暴力”,选项D中“愤怒是强烈情感,人们认为有理由生气”为转折铺垫,且“strong feeling”与后文关联。
