41.Whatdowelearnfromthefirstparagraphabouttheself-helpindustry?

A.ItwasestablishedbyNormanVincentPeale.

B.Itisahighlyprofitableindustry.

C.Itisbasedontheconceptofpositivethinking.

D.Ithasprovidedpositiveresults.

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。

原文定位于首段第一句“The$11billionself-helpindustryisbuiltontheideathatyoushouldturnnegativethoughtslike“Ineverdoanythingright”intopositiveoneslike“Icansucceed.”选项中的basedon与文中的builton同义。

42.WhatisthefindingoftheCanadianresearchers?

A.Therecanbenosimpletreatmentforpsychologicalproblems.

B.Thepowerofpositivethinkingislimited.

C.Unhappypeoplecannotthinkpositively.

D.Encouragingpositivethinkingmaydomoreharmthangood.

【答案】D

【解析】原文定位为第二段：

“ResearchersinCanadajustpublishedastudyinthejournalPsychologicalSciencethatsaystryingtogetpeopletothinkmorepositivelycanactuallyhaveoppositeeffect;”之后，作者在下一段又再次强调了这一观点“olderresearchshowingthatwhenpeoplegetfeedbackwhichtheybelieveisoverlypositive,theyactuallyfeelworse,notbetter.”causeofatragedy与选项中的causeofthecrash一致。

抓住关键词“oppositeeffect；feelworse,notbetter”，答案即可一目了然。

43.Whatdoestheauthormeanby"…you'rejustunderlininghisfaults"（Para.3）?

A.Youareemphasizingthefactthatheisnotintelligent.

B.Youarenottakinghismistakesseriouslyenough.

C.Youaretryingtomakehimfeelbetterabouthisfaults.

D.Youarepointingouttheerrorshehascommitted.

【答案】A

【解析】与答案较为相近的是选项D。

本题关键是正确理解文章中两个单词“underline（加强，强调）”与“dim（迟钝的，愚笨的）”。

选项D中的pointout是“指出”之意，与文章中的underlining意思不符。

44.ItcanbeinferredfromtheexperimentofWood,LeeandPerunovicthat________.

A.Itisimportantforpeopletocontinuallyboosttheirself-respect.

B.Self-affirmationcanbringapositivechangetoone'smood.

C.Forcingapersontothinkpositivethoughtsmaylowertheirself-respect.

D.Peoplewithlowself-respectseldomwritedowntheirtruefeelings.

【答案】C

【解析】原文定位于第五段Thosewithlowself-esteemdidn’tfeelbetteraftertheforcedself-affirmation.Infact,theirmoodsturnedsignificantlydarkerthanthoseofmembersofthecontrolgroup,whoweren’turgedtothinkpositivethoughts。

抓住关键词“didn’tfeelbetter；darker”。

45.Whatdowelearnfromthelastparagraph?

A.Peoplecanavoidmakingmistakesthroughmeditation.

B.Meditationmayprovetobeagoodformofpsychotherapy.

C.Theeffectsofpositivethinkingvaryfrompersontoperson.

D.Differentpeopletendtohavedifferentwaysofthinking.

【答案】B

【解析】原文定位于最后一段。

作者在最后一段提出了新的心理疗法，建议人们接受消极思维，而不要一味用积极思维去反抗。

Incontrast这一短语的应用，说明meditation是积极思维的对立面，即消极思维的一种方式。

只有把自己的不足放到更广泛、更现实的层面去思考，才会大事化小，小事化了。

选项A中的内容文中并未提及。

B.helpherdaughteroutoftroubleandfelthelpless

C.affordtotreatherdaughter’sdiseaseandfeltsad

答案为B。

本题为句意推测题。

从划线部分后文“Ican’tdescribemyfrustration.Ifeltsohelpless,”shesays.“WhatIwantedwasthehelpwithmyverybrightdaughterwhohadaproblemwithlanguage.”可知，JoEddings对于女儿的疾病感到沮丧、无助，他非常需要帮助。

故答案为B。

由第二段首句“Wetookhertopsychologistsandallsortsofexperts…”可推测，他们带着女儿看了许多心理医生和各种专家，应该有能力支付治疗费用，故C选项错误。

A选项和D选项的“feltashamed”与文意不符。

2.JoEddingswaspleasedwhenshe_______.

A.visitedandexhibitioncalledGenesTalking

B.heardaradioprogramaboutanexhibition

C.discoveredagenelinkedwithherdaughter’sproblem

C.“SLI”standsforSpecificLanguageImpairment.

本题为推理题。

由第二段“Itwasaboutaresearchprojecttodiscoveragenelinedwithaconditionknownasspecificlanguageimpairment.”和第三段首句“SLIcoversspeechandgrammarproblemssufferedbychildren,themostfamiliarofwhichisdyslexia.”可以推断，C选项正确。

由第二段倒数第二句话““Iwasn’talone;Iwasn’tmad.”可知，选项A错误。

由第三段“About8percentofchildrenarerecognizedasdyslexic.”可知，B选项错误。

D选项未提及。

4.Onwhichcolumncanwereadtheabovepassageinanewspaper?

A.EducationNews.B.HealthNews.

C.BusinessNews.D.EconomyNews.

答案为B。

本题为推理题。

结合全文和最后一段研究SLI的专家描述“Ifwecanfindageneticlink,itwillprovidethekindofhardevidencethatthisisagenuineproblem,whichisneededifwearetocurethedisease,”可推断，JoEddings的女儿的疾病属于基因问题，和健康有关，故答案为B。
