ApletingamarathonwasnottoodifficultB.peopleoftenneglecttheirabilitiesC.lookingdownupontheothersiswrongD.peopleshouldn’tletnegativethoughtsstepintheirway答案D解析推理推断题。依据第三段中的“Truthbetold,theonlypersonwhotellsyou‘Ican’t’isyourself.Ifyouhearthosewordsechoinginthebackofyourmind,tunethemout.”可知,作者在得知60岁的邻居完成了马拉松竞赛后,感慨人们不应当让消极的想法阻碍自己,不要对自己说“我不行”。故选D项。3.Whydoesourmindmakeexcuses?A.Ittendstoseekcomfortratherthansuffering.B.Itneedsrestandrelaxation.C.Itispreparingforthedifficulttimes.D.Itisthewayittriestofindasolution.答案A解析细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“Sowhydoesthemindmesswithusandmakeunreasonableexcuses?Becausethemindwantscomfort,that’sthereason.It’safraidofdiscomfort,pressureandchange.”可知,我们大脑找借口的缘由是它更倾向于寻求舒适而不是苦痛。故选A项。4.Whatmight“groundzero”inparagraph2referto?A.Thelowestspot.B.Thesafestplace.C.Theoriginalplace. D.Theproperposition.答案C解析词义揣测题。依据本段的“Themindisabsorbedinitscomfortzone,andanytimewetrytostretchthatzonetoofar,fortoolong,themindtriesdesperatelytogetbackto‘groundzero’atanycost.”可知,我们的大脑被它的舒适区所吸引,这说明大脑不愿离开自己的舒适区。由此可知,此处是说当大脑远离自己的舒适区时,它会不惜一切代价舍命地试图回到前面提到的“舒适区”,即“原来的地方”,故选C项。四、完形填空Oneday,Iwascaughtinamassive6-lanetrafficjamatastoplight.Butitwasanoverheatedcar,deadinthemiddlelane(车道).Withcarsdrivingallaroundher,Icouldn’t1anywherewithoutmakingthingsworse.Ihadtoturnleftinthicktrafficandcouldn’t2foracoupleofblocks.Ithought,“MaybethisisoneIshouldletsomeoneelsetakecareof.”
