Question

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good  36 and always has something  37  to say．

     If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the  38  how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me  39  , so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t  40  ．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?"

     Michael replied, each morning I  41 and say to myself 'Mike, you have two  42 today．You can choose to be in a  43  mood or be in a bad mood．' I  44  to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a  45  or choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．"

     "Yeah, right．It isn't that easy．" I protested．

     "Yes it is, " Michael said．"Life is all about choices．You choose how you react  46 situations and how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bottom line is: It's your choice  47  you live life．"

     Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious 48 , falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive  49  , Michael recovered．When I asked him what had  50  his mind as the accident took place．

     "The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied．"Then, as I  51  on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to  52  ．I chose to live．"

     Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also  53  his amazing attitude．

     I learned from him  54  every day we have a choice to live fully． 55 is everything．

Answer 1

36-40 ABCDD 41-45 CBABC 46-50 DCCBA 51-55 BCDCA 

解析:

36．A由下文第三段的 “I．．．to be in a good mood．”可知，答案為A項。

37．B由下文第二段的 “You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”可知，Michael總是樂觀的，并且總有積極的事情去說。

38．C由本段中的 “If an employee was having a bad day,．．．”可知，如果員工有不愉快的一天，Michael就告訴這個士兵如何去看待生活的積極的一面。

39．D由下文的 “．．．so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,．．．．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”可知，作者好奇，所以問出這樣的問題。因此，答案為D項。

40．D get it “了解，懂得”；make it “及時到達，成功，約定時間”；從上下文來看，作者不明白。因此問了下面的問題, “You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”

41．C由 “each morning”可知，醒來并自己告訴自己。因此，答案為C項。take up拿起，占去，接受； make up組成，編造； bring up教育，提及，嘔吐。

42．B由下文的 “You can choose to be in a ．．．mood or be in a bad mood．”可知，是兩個選擇，因此，答案為B項。

43．A由下文的 “．．．or be in a bad mood．及to be in a good mood．”可知，此處選擇A項。

44．B由上文的 “You can choose to be in a．．．”可知，此處答案為B項。

45．C由上文的 “Each time something bad happens,．．．．．or choose to learn from it．”可知，要么從壞事中學習，要么成為受害者。因此，答案為C項。

46．D考查短語react to．．．對……作出反應（評價，應答）；react by以…方式作出反應; react against反對; 反抗; react with與…起化學反應。從題中可以看出，是對情況作出反應，因此，選擇D項。

47．C從句法分析，you live life主謂賓都有，因此，選擇how，句意為：過怎樣的生活是你的選擇。

48．C由下文的 “．．．,falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．After l8 hours of surgery,．．．” 可知，Michael遇到了意外事故，因此，答案為C項。

49．B由本句知，在18個小時的手術后以及數周的intensive care重病特別護理后，他恢復了。因此，答案為B項。

50．A由下文的 “The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter,．．．”可知。go through穿過，經過；break through突圍，突破；look through仔細檢查；read through仔細閱讀。

51．B由上文的知，Michael從60英尺高的信息塔上掉下來，因此，只能是躺在地上了。

52．C由文中的 “．．．remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or．．．”知，與活相對應的應該是die死了。

53．D由上文的 “Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also．．．”知，Michael活下來，由于他的醫生們的技能，而且……，可知，另一個也是原因。所以，選擇D項。so long as只要；in case of萬一，如果； instead of代替，而不是。

54．C分析句子結構，that此處是引導賓語從句，在句中不做成分，只起引導作用。

55．A從全文來分析，以及讓Michael從意外事故中活過來的原因 “his amazing attitude”可知，是態度決定一切。
