However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.2The moment you feel there are chances of you being angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you bee angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.Keep a check on your breathing.3By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.4For example, if youre experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.Look for a support in other people.5It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After youre done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that youll feel much better than before.A. Talk to yourself positively.B. e to a stop as soon as you are angry.C. Try to see the situation in a different light.D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.E. What you can do when you bee angry is to breathe deeply.F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other bee angry.G. You can imagine going to a place you consider to be calming as well as relaxing.【文章大意】生气伤身，但是每个人不可避免地会生气。如何控制生气呢？本文给出了四项有效措施：生气时停一停；生气时深呼吸；生气时自嘲；寻求别人的帮助等。1.F 【解析】根据下文Being angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical.可知，生气对精神和身体都有很大坏处，接着讲述了控制生气的方法，因此推断F项“实际上，几乎所有的人都有可能在某一时刻会生气”符合语境。故选F。3.E 【解析】根据段落标题和空格下文By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly.可知，生气时调整呼吸，通过控制呼吸的过程，减慢生气，根据关键词“breathe”可知E项“生气时你可以做深呼吸”符合语境。故选E。4.A 【解析】空格处为段落标题。本段通过一个例子，当你开车路怒的时候，你可以告诉自己超过你的那个人可能有紧急事情感激你的车没有发生什么大事，生气的情况下多重复几遍这个过程。因此推断本段建议生气时积极的自言自语。故选A。5.D 【解析】根据段落标题Look for a support in other people.可知，本段建议生气时寻求别人的支持，support与D项中提到的“help”一样相近，因此推断D项“你可以尝试向你信赖的人寻求帮助”符合语境。故选D。at an end 结束；终结(1)(2)(3)end up with 以结束end up doing something 以做某事结束； 最后处于end in sth 以结束(教材原句)It seemed as if the world was at an end!仿佛到了世界末日！At first he refused to accept any responsibility but he ended up apologizing (apologize)最初他拒不承认有任何责任，到头来还是道了歉。At_the_end_of (在末)the meeting，the general manager said in a loud voice，“Weve tried hard to solve the financial problem，and in_the_end (终于) weve succeeded.So by_the_end_of (到结束时) next week，the bad situation will e to_an_end (结束) and everything will be all right.”在会议快结束时，总经理大声地说，“我们已尽力去解决财政问题，我们最终成功了。所以到下星期末，这种不利的局面将结束并且一切将好起来”。a (great) number of 许多；大量的不可数名词单数谓语(large) amounts of名词复数谓语quantities of可数名词复数/不可数名词复数谓语a quantity of名词单数谓语a mass of可数名词的复数复数谓语a mass of不可数名词单数谓语masses of名词复数谓语a great deal修饰形容词比较级(教材原句)Such a great number of people died because the quake happened while they were sleeping.那么多的人丧生是因为地震发生在人们睡觉的时候。Large numbers of dead fish along the shore of river have_appeared (appear) in these days.近几天河边发现大量死鱼Quantities of/Masses of food were (be) on the table.饭桌上有许多饭菜。a number of./the number of.a number of.许多；大量的，后接可数名词，在句中作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式the number of.的数目，后接可数名词，在句中作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式A number of teachers are (be) present today，and the number of them is (be) 300.许多教师今天都出席了，人数达到了300。可数名词单数单数谓语【短文改错】A survey (调查)has recently carried out among the students in our school about whether they would like it if their parents gave birth to a second child.Opinions vary wide from one to another.Most of the students supported the idea.They think that it would be amazing to have a brother and a sister to keep the pany and share secrets with.Besides，we believe a second child would bring lots of funs to the family.However，the rest of the students interviewing hold the opposite view.To start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue whether they have been accustomed to enjoy the whole love from their parents.答案：A survey (调查)has recently carried out among the students in our school about whether they would like it if their parents gave birth to a second child.Opinions vary from one to another.Most of the students the idea.They think that it would be amazing to have a brother a sister to keep the pany and share secrets with.Besides， believe a second child would bring lots of to the family.However，the rest of the students hold the opposite view.To start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue they have been accustomed to the whole love from their parents.解析：A survey和carry out为被动关系，所以加been。解析：vary是动词，用副词修饰，所以用widely。解析：这是陈述事实，用一般现在时，将supported改为support。解析：and表示并列，此处句意为选择而非并列，故用or。解析：keep pany陪伴，陪同。解析：由句意得此处主语为students，所以为they。 解析：fun为不可数名词，无复数形式所以将funs改为fun。 解析：student和interview为被动关系，所以用ed形式作定语。解析：whether引导的是让步状语从句，而文中是陈述一个事实所以将whether删掉或者改为that。解析：accustom固定搭配be accustomed to doing 所以将enjoy变为enjoying。Thousands of families were killed and many children were_left without parents.成千上万个家庭遇难，许许多多的孩子变成孤儿。leave宾语宾补。leave在此句式中作使役动词用，既有“剩下，留下”之意，也表示“使处于某状态中”。在leave的复合结构中很多词、短语等都能充当宾语补足语。leave作使役动词的用法：Never leave young children unattended (unattend) near any pool or water tank.千万不能放任小孩呆在水池或水槽附近不管。We hurriedly ended our meeting，leaving (leave) many problems to be settled.我们匆匆地结束了会议，留下了很多问题等待解决。 The terrible disease left the old man very weak (weakness)这场大病使得老人身体非常虚弱。单句语法填空(2017全国卷)Leave it open (open) when youre available to talk and close it when youre not.All hope was_not lost.并不是所有的希望都破灭了。(1)英语中的all，both，each，every，everybody，everything，pletely，always，whole，wholly，entirely，altogether等具有总括意义的代词、形容词和副词与否定词not连用，无论not位置如何，均构成部分否定，表示“并非都”的意思。(2)英语中的no，none，never，nobody，nothing，neither no one，nowhere，no more，no longer，no way等表否定意义的词(组)与肯定式谓语一起使用构成“全部否定”。Not both of the two math problems are (be) very difficult.这两道数学题并非都很难。None of us was_allowed (allow) to go there.我们全都不让去那里。Every boy is_not_interested (interest) in sports.Not every boy is_interested (interest) in sports.并非所有的男孩都喜欢运动。【阅读理解】Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is 23,870. According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not e cheap with devoted pals blowing 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship. Theres a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage. The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking. The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they e at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to pare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”【文章大意】最好的朋友也许是无价的，但维持一段友谊却是高价的。那么你知道维持一段友谊需要多少钱吗？一项研究给出了答案。【长难句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.(第二段第二句)分析：本句为复合句。while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on为让步状语从句。主句为bighearted Britons go the extra mile.relationship。译文：虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠不需要花费什么，但是慷慨大方的英国人会为朋友付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买能令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。1 What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?AAmbitious. BGenerous.CTroublesome. DEnergetic.答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。画线部分后的“go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship”就是对它的进一步说明。此处指虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠并不需要花费什么，但是英国人会为朋发付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如失恋等困难时期。画线部分的意思应该是“慷慨的”，故选B。2. To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money?ABuying birthday presents.BCheering up a friend in low spirits.CPaying for holiday gifts and other treats.DGoing a particular distance to visit friends.答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“blowing 4,679 on birthday presents”“spend 168 on pickmeups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“242 spent on presents.from gifts bought on holiday to treats.”“spend a whopping (巨大的)18,000 on travel to see each other”可知，为了维持一段友谊，花在旅途中的费用是最多的，所以选D。3.

However, they e at a cost.”可知，Natasha认为，经受得起时间考验的友谊通常是我们人生中最重要的东西，但那是要付出成本的。也就是说与一生的挚友的友谊很贵但很值得。所以选B。4. How is the passage developed?ABy listing figures. BBy giving examples.CBy analyzing causes.DBy making parisons.答案与解析：A考查写作手法。 根据文中的“23,870”“4,679”“168”“242”“18,000”等数据可知，本文作者是通过列数据的方法来行文的，故选A。
