Question

【題目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only by used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

The world is full of weirdos who pretend to be normal for fear of drawing unnecessary attention to themselves and I am one of them. All my life, I have been trying very hard to avoid developing any permanent 【1】 with anyone. I manage it by intentionally minimizing my interaction with people around me to the lowest possible extent. I have been a man who slips away, in the way lovers leave chaos, the way thieves leave 【2】 houses. Some people might call it social phobia（社交恐懼癥）and consider it a huge problem that needs to be resolved. But truth he told, I kind of enjoy this sense of rootlessness, knowing there will be less 【3】 on me.

It seems I am always attached to the good 【4】 of life but detached from life itself. It’s just like reading one of those well-received travel books. One only gets the chance to read all the fascinating stories accompanied with 【5】 beautiful sights. Therefore, one’s ideas and expectations of travel have been built up unrealistically. But when one gets his own chance to go travelling, he suddenly finds out it is not like that because travelling can be, and most of the time, will be filled with all those meaningless and disappointing trivia（瑣事）. And that’s how after a few 【6】 attempts one starts to prefer reading travel books to travelling.

It also began to 【7】 on me that real life is a woman too good-looking for me. It’s a voyage too long, book too lavishly-illustrated, so I don’t have the courage to step into it. But when entering a book of stories, I know I can emerge from it feeling I have been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that 【8】 in their own unique ways, my body full of sentences and 【9】 as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams.

I don’t think I can or need to find a panacea（靈丹妙藥）for my “problem” and of course, I don’t expect others to offer help. In most cases, when one takes in another man’s poison, 【10】 imagining he can cure him by sharing it, one will instead end up storing it within. So as long as I can live in peace and harmony with my weirdness, this very weirdness is something I would like to cherish rather than get rid of.

【5】AD

【9】B

【10】C

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。作者有意識地盡量減少與周圍人的互動，努力避免與任何人發(fā)展任何永久的關系。作者很喜歡這種狀態(tài)，認為自己的“社交恐懼癥”不需要解決。在文中，作者對自己的這種心態(tài)進行了剖析。

【1】考查名詞和語境理解。句意：在我的一生中，我一直努力避免與任何人發(fā)展任何永久的親密關系。根據(jù)下一句可知，我有意識地盡量減少與周圍人的互動。由此推知，作者避免和別人發(fā)展永久的“親密”關系。intimacy：親密，密切，關系密切。故選BC。

【2】考查形容詞和語境理解。句意：我經(jīng)常悄悄溜走，就像情人從混亂情況中溜走，小偷離開破落的房子那樣。根據(jù)前一句和下一句可知，作者一直盡量減少和別人的互動，所以，在很多情況下他都會悄悄走開。這種情況和小偷去“破落的，破敗的”房子里行竊，但一無所獲，最后悄悄離開很相似。reduced：破落的，破敗的。故選A。

【3】考查名詞和語境理解。句意：我有點喜歡這種無根的感覺，知道自己身上的束縛會少一些。由上文可知，作者盡量減少和周圍人的交往，交往越少，和他們的牽扯就越少。string本意為“線”，該處可以引申為“那些像繩子一樣糾纏困擾人們的事”。故選AC。

【4】考查名詞和語境理解。句意：我似乎總是執(zhí)著于生命的美好表象，卻脫離了生命本身。life itself指的是“生命本身”，該空和“l(fā)ife itself”構成轉(zhuǎn)折關系，因此該處應指“生命的美好表象”。representation：表象。故選D。

【5】考查副詞和語境理解。句意：一個人只有得到機會才能閱讀所有引人入勝的故事，伴隨著驚人的美麗景色。____5____ beautiful sights和fascinating stories感情色彩一致。 該空修飾“beautiful”，表示景色美麗的“程度”，結合選項，AD(strikingly：突出地，出眾地)符合語境。故選AD。

【6】考查形容詞和語境理解。句意：這就是為什么在幾次不滿意的嘗試之后，一個人開始更喜歡閱讀旅游書籍而不是真正出去旅游。根據(jù)上句可知，實際的旅行和書上描述的美好的旅行大相徑庭，實際的旅行中充滿了毫無意義，令人失望的瑣事。所以這些旅行都是“令人不滿意的”。unsatisfactory：令人不滿意的。故選CD。

【7】考查動詞和語境理解。句意：我也開始明白，真實的生活就像是一個對我來說過于漂亮的女人。sth. dawn on sb.意為“某人開始理解……，某人開始明白……”。結合該段下文的敘述可知，作者開始“明白，理解”真實生活的意義。故選AB。

【8】考查動詞和語境理解。句意：但是當進入一本書的故事，我知道我可以擺脫它，感覺我一直沉浸在他人的生活中，沉浸在以自己的獨特的方式展開地情節(jié)中。故事的情節(jié)以自己獨特的方式“展開”。unfold：展開，打開。故選BD。

【9】考查名詞和語境理解。句意：我的身體充滿了句子和時刻，仿佛帶著沉重感從睡眠中醒來一樣，這種沉重感來自于那些不被記得的夢。作者在讀故事的時候，每個故事情節(jié)都像著一個“時刻”。moment：時刻。故選B。

【10】考查副詞和語境理解。句意：在大多數(shù)情況下，當一個人吸收了另一個人的毒藥，他天真地以為可以通過分享來治愈他，結果卻把它儲存在自己體內(nèi)。吸收另一個人體內(nèi)的毒藥并不能治愈這個人，所以這是一種“天真的”想法。naively：天真地。故選C。
