解答 36-40 GADBF
36．G 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)后面一句話If you want attention and affection，took for someone who gives you that從結(jié)構(gòu)上發(fā)現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)GIf you are looking for stability and security…符合題意要求，故選G．
37．A 概括題．根據(jù)后面的Often，one of the biggest things that can get in the way of your future happiness is your past可知，對于未來幸福最難克服的就是你的過去，所以建議我們要忘記過去，故選A．
38．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．通過該段的主題句Be positive．以及No one wants to be around someone who is bad-tempered or pessimistic all the time可知，建議我們要保持樂觀，照應(yīng)了選項(xiàng)里的Optimism attracts more optimism，故選D．
39．B 細(xì)節(jié)題．從該段的Your family and friends should love you in spite of your flaws．可知，你的朋友和家人盡管你有缺點(diǎn)也要愛你，故選B．
40．F 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)最后一句Of course you shouldn't change yourself for someone else，unless it is a positive change that you want to make for yourself．可知，為了吸引伙伴我們還是去做一些事情，比如改變，當(dāng)然這種改變是積極的，故選F．

點(diǎn)評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．
