B.Driveoff.C.Feelquitenervous. D.Becomeveryangry.解析D词义揣测题。由其次段中的"Thefirsttogowouldberoadrage（路怒）""Instead，Inowrepeatthewords...Fromthat，Ihopetogainpatience"可知，作者想丢掉的第一个东西就是路怒。作者想由之前的有东西挡道就变得特别生气转变成有耐性、不慌不忙的人，故画线部分意思与D项最为接近。2.Whathasmadetheauthorfeelguiltybefore？A.Attendingtoomanyparties.B.Readingmuchwithherchildren.C.WastinghertimeinwatchingTV.D.Spendinglittletimewithherfriends.解析C微小环节理解题。由第三段中的"Thisyear，Iwanttostopfeelingguiltyfornotkeepingacleanerhouse...orforwatchingTVwhenIshouldbereading"可知，今年，作者想要停止因为没有保持房子更整齐，或者因为在该阅读的时候看了电视而感到内疚的想法，由此可知，作者以前会因自己奢侈时间看电视而感到内疚，故C项正确。3.Howhasfearaffectedtheauthor？A.Ithaspreventedherachievinghergoals.B.Ithasstoppedherfurtheringhereducation.C.Ithasmadeitdifficultforhertomakefriends.D.Ithascausedhertoquitherdreamofbeingateacher.解析A微小环节理解题。由第四段中的"Fearoffailurehaspreventedmefrombeingawriter"和"Fearofbeingrejectedhasstoppedmefromaiminghigherinmylife"可知，作者认为对失败的恐惊已阻挡她成为一个作家，对被拒绝的恐惊已阻挡她实现人生中更为远大的目标，故A项"恐惊已阻挡她达到她的目标"正确。4.Whatdoestheauthorexpecttogainfromherweight-lossprogram？A.Respect. B.Independence.C.Optimism. D.Tolerance.解析C推理推断题。由全文内容，尤其是最终一段"So，ifIcanlose...PoundforpoundIhavenotlostathingbutIwillbemuchlighter.Nexttime，Ihopemycolleaguelooksmeintheeyetoseemyglowinsteadof...howgreatIreallylook"可知，作者希望自己能够丢掉"路怒"，摆脱内疚和恐惊，变得更轻松，也希望她的同事能够正视她眼中的喜悦，故C项"乐观"符合题意。B[2024陕西安康5月质检]It’sasunnyafternoonneartheBoeungKengKangmarketincentralPhnomPenhandalocalbarbershopisbusy.CheaSothea，ayounghairdresser，putsthefinishingtouchesonanewstyleforhisclient."Todayhasbeenabusyday，"saidSothea.Hehandlesthesteadyflowofclientswithconfidenceeventhoughhe’sonlybeenonthejobforsixmonths.NolLevin，theownerofthebarbershop，smiledwhenspeakingofSothea."Hehaslearnedsomebasicrelevantskillsandhehashadaverygoodcommandofthem，soithasbeeneasytoteachhimawidevarietyoftechniquestoachievewhateveraclientwants."Healsoappreciatesthecan-doattitudethatSotheahasbroughttohisbusiness.SotheaisequallyhappywhileworkingwithMr.Nol."Mr.Noliskindandeasygoing.I’minspiredbyMr.Nolbecausehealwaysshareshisexperienceandgivesmeopportunitiestopractisemyskills.I’mmakingmuchprogressandI’mtryingmybesttoimproveeveryday."NengSocheata，about18yearsold，hasalsostartedanewjob—cookinginanItaliancafeattheheartofPhnomPenh."WhenIwasofferedthejob，IwassohappytousetheskillsandknowledgethatIlearnedfromMithSamlanh.Workinghereisthestartingpointofmycareerandthefirststepstowardsachievingmydreams."LimChenda，whoisSocheata’ssupervisor（主管）attherestaurant，admiresSocheata’sabilitytolearnthejobquicklyandhowwellsheworkswiththeteam.Sheadded，"Socheataworkshard，isverypunctual（守时的），andgreetspeoplewithrespect.I’veevenlearnedafewthingsfromher."Actually，bothSotheaandSocheatatookpartinatechnical，vocationalandeducationtraining（TVET）programmedesignedtoprovideyoungpeoplewiththeskillstheyneedtobesuccessfulintheworkforce.Studentscanchoosefrom11trainingareas：cooking，welding，beauty，sewing，electricity，electronics，carmechanics，motorbikemechanics，men’shairdressing，laundryandagriculture.ItisdeliveredbyMithSamlanhthroughthePartnershipProgrammeforProtectionofChildren.本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲解并描述的是年轻的CheaSothea和约18岁的NengSocheata在参与了职业培训后能够很快适应新工作的故事。1.WhycanCheaSothealearnhairdressingtechniquesquickly？A.Hehasasolidskillfoundation.B.Hisbossisveryseriousandstrict.C.Hisclientsareeasytodealwith.D.Hehasyearsofworkexperience.解析A微小环节理解题。由其次段中的"Hehaslearnedsomebasicrelevantskillsandhehashadaverygoodcommandofthem，soithasbeeneasytoteachhimawidevarietyoftechniquestoachievewhateveraclientwants"可知，CheaSothea学过与理发相关的技能，并能娴熟驾驭，由此可知，CheaSothea之所以能够很快学会理发技术是因为他有扎实的基础，故选A项。2.WhatattitudedoesLimChendaholdtowardsNengSocheata？A.Indifferent.
