题型:不详难度:来源:
Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved. My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn"t do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building. Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor"s office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop. By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home. Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success. That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being. Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I"ve made new friends and reconnected with many from my past The anxiety isn"t completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance. 小题1:The writer"s anxiety attacks were mainly caused by .A.the high school which he attended | B.the teacher who asked him to walk | C.the writer himself who was fearful | D.the father who left in his childhood | 小题2:The breakthrough of the writer"s treatment came when________.A.the mother took him to the doctor | B.the writer read a magazine article | C.the writer"s pain finally stopped | D.the writer went to college | 小题3:What did the writer do after following the plan?A.He went to see therapists. | B.He returned to high school. | C.He contacted his old friends. | D.He didn"t suffer any attacks. | 小题4:The writer wrote this story to tell us________.A.anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment | B.we shouldn"t keep ourselves away from the outside world | C.we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance | D.fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids |

试题分析: 作者父亲的遗弃行为导致作者患上焦虑症,虽经长期医治,一直不见效果,且病情不断加重。后来一篇杂志文章改变了作者,他上了大学,结交许多朋友,变得自信起来。 小题1:细节题。由第一段As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks.一句可知,作者父亲的遗弃行为导致了他的焦虑症。abandonment:遗弃、抛弃;trigger:引发。选择D项。 小题2:细节题。整个儿童时期,作者成为医生的常客,但是不见效果,有时甚至想要自***解脱,到了16岁他完全将自己关在家里。由第五段Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article.一句可知,真正对作者病症起作用的是一份杂志上的文章。故选择B项。 小题3:细节题。倒数第二段I was able to stop seeing a therapist表明他不再去看医生,排除A项;I never returned to high school提示排除B项;最后一段The anxiety isn"t completely gone提示排除D项。I"ve made new friends and reconnected with many from my past一句说明他联系上了许多过去的朋友。选择C项。 小题4:主旨大意题。文章最后一句话and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance点题,表明作者写作本文要表达的主旨:如果自己抓住机会就能改变自己。故C项正确。 |
