bout.(这种疲劳会转化为悲观和退缩等情绪，尤其是对你应该关心的人的那种感觉。)”可知这里说的是精疲力竭的最后结果，可能导致的一些问题，所以E选项“这是精疲力竭的最后阶段，但需要一段时间才能达到。”并且紧密连接下文“Inspiteofthis,itcancontributetomakingmistakesorevenstartingtofeelemotionallydisabled,allofwhichaccountformoreseriousissuestodevelop.(尽管如此，它会导致犯错，甚至开始感到情绪障碍，所有这些都会导致更严重的问题。)”。故选E。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满30分)第一节15小题:每小1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“Mountainsarealwayssmallerinyourimaginationthantheyareinreallife,”someonewisesaid.AndthequotesprangtomindasIstaredupatthesnowy___21___ofPenYFan,thehighestmountaininSouthWales.IwastotakepartintheFanDancetheworld’soldestSpecialForcestest.Mygeneralfeelingabouttheeventwasthatitwouldbetough,butgoodstrength___22___formyrunning.Ifeltpretty___23___withinthefirstkilometreandIwassurprisedhoweasyitfeltsofar.Kilometretwo___24___metrudging(跋涉)throughsnowandice,butspiritsstillremainedhighasIchattedtofellow___25___aroundme.Gradually,however,theclimbingbecameextremely___26___.Thesnowwas___27___byathickfogandwindssostrongthatIcouldhardlystandonmyfeet.Thewindkept___28___mebackwardsandsideways,andeachstepseemedtorequirealltheenergyIhad.Iwasabouttoquitwhensomeoneappearedoutof___29___.“You’redoingreallywell!Keepgoing!”heshouted_____30_____thewind.Ifeltasuddenburstof_____31_____andIcrazilypulledmyselftothefinishline.We’dbeenmovingforhoursandwere_____32_____thefinishline.Thewellbeingofmybodycamesecondtomyburningdesiretogettothatfinishline.IwasexpectingtofeelrelievedandjoyfulwhenIfinallysucceeded,_____33_____insteadIfeltamixtureoftirednessandconfusion.I_____34_____ontheideathatwhilemountainsaresmallerinyourimaginationthantheyareinreallife,yourabilitytosufferisalsobiggerinreallife.Infact,I_____35_____overmorethanjustamountainattheFanDance.21.A.peaks
