Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2014·山西省高三上学期诊断考试)We all have fears.Some of them are reasonable enough，such as the fear of losing one’s job or having a disease during an outbreak.Other fears，however，are not reasonable，such as the fear of snakes，or enclosed spaces.Doctors call the latter claustrophobia(幽闭恐惧症)．

Phobia，from the Greek word for“fear”，is the term health experts use to describe these unreasonable mental states of anxiety.People who have claustrophobia feel anxious or nervous when they are in elevators，cars，or even large rooms.Their response，in severe cases，is to panic.They may end up shaking，sweating，hyperventilating (呼吸急促)，or even fainting.To those without this phobia，it seems unreasonable to have these kinds of reactions to enclosed spaces，but to the claustrophobic person，it is their natural reaction to a situation they consider threatening.Unfortunately，having an anxiety or panic attack confirms that person’s fear，and they begin to avoid the objects or situations which bring on their discomfort.

The good news is that all kinds of phobias can be treated.Since the fear is not sensible，those suffering phobias can be helped to overcome them.The hardest step on the road to recovery is the first.The realization that a phobia is unreasonable leads to further anxiety.Support and encouragement from family，friends，and colleagues to seek advice is of great help.Techniques for treatment include flooding，which exposes the person to the source of their anxiety in a controlled situation，and counter-conditioning，using self-relaxation methods to get through anxiety attacks.In the most severe cases，these techniques may be accomplished by medicines.People being treated can get over their fear in eight to ten weeks.

There is no good reason to live in constant fear.If you have a phobia，seek medical advice and treatment.If you know someone with a phobia，be supportive.Fear is sometimes a necessary part of the human experience，but unreasonable fear is not.

1．A.hopes B．plans C．demands D．promises

解析：选C。句意：因为工作和照顾三个孩子的“要求”，我只能“偶尔”去看望母亲。A项意为“希望”；B项意为“计划”；C项意为“要求”；D项意为“承诺”。根据句意可知，应用demand一词。

2．A.occasionally B．frequently C．casually D．immediately

解析：选A。A项意为“偶尔，间或”；B项意为“经常，频繁地”；C项意为“偶然地，无意地”；D项意为“立即，马上”。根据语境可知，应用occasionally一词。

C．surprised D．discouraged

解析：选C。句意：那天晚上我打电话给她，约她出来。尽管有点“吃惊”，但她还是高兴地接受了我的邀请。A项意为“沮丧的”；B项意为“尴尬的”；C项意为“吃惊的”；D项意为“泄气的”。根据上文内容可知，结婚二十一年来，由于工作繁忙，有孩子去照顾，我不常去看望母亲，因此，当我打电话约她出来时，她应该是感到“吃惊”。

4．A.put B．call C．cheer D．pick

解析：选D。句意：星期五下午下班后，我开车过去“接她”。pick up除了有“捡起，拾起，接收，学会”的意思外，还可作“到(某处)接某人，到(某地)取某物”讲。

5．A.trip B．date C．film D．ride

7．A.cinema B．restaurant C．hotel D．theatre

解析：选B。句意：我们去了一家“餐馆”。尽管不那么雅致，但很舒适。根据下文的“menu”及“During the dinner”可知，我们去的是“饭店，餐馆”。

8．A.focused B．cleaned C．lifted D．opened

解析：选C。句意：坐下之后，我“抬起双眼”，看到母亲坐在那里正盯着我看。focus one’s eyes(on)意为“注意，集中”；clean one’s eyes 意为“揉眼睛”；lift one’s eyes意为“抬起眼睛”；open one’s eyes意为“睁开眼睛”。lift符合语境。

9．A.read B．print C．write D．hand

解析：选A。句意：她说：“你小的时候，我不得不给你读菜单”。A项意为“读”；B项意为“打印”；C项意为“写”；D项意为“交，上交”。根据情景和常识可知，孩子小的时候，只有母亲“读”菜单给他听。

10．A.task B．effort C．prize D．favor 解析：选D。句意：“现在到了你坐下来放松休息，我回报的时候了”我回答说。return the favor意为“回馈，回报，报答”。
