Question

【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only by used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

The world is full of weirdos who pretend to be normal for fear of drawing unnecessary attention to themselves and I am one of them. All my life, I have been trying very hard to avoid developing any permanent 【1】 with anyone. I manage it by intentionally minimizing my interaction with people around me to the lowest possible extent. I have been a man who slips away, in the way lovers leave chaos, the way thieves leave 【2】 houses. Some people might call it social phobia（社交恐惧症）and consider it a huge problem that needs to be resolved. But truth he told, I kind of enjoy this sense of rootlessness, knowing there will be less 【3】 on me.

It seems I am always attached to the good 【4】 of life but detached from life itself. It’s just like reading one of those well-received travel books. One only gets the chance to read all the fascinating stories accompanied with 【5】 beautiful sights. Therefore, one’s ideas and expectations of travel have been built up unrealistically. But when one gets his own chance to go travelling, he suddenly finds out it is not like that because travelling can be, and most of the time, will be filled with all those meaningless and disappointing trivia（琐事）. And that’s how after a few 【6】 attempts one starts to prefer reading travel books to travelling.

It also began to 【7】 on me that real life is a woman too good-looking for me. It’s a voyage too long, book too lavishly-illustrated, so I don’t have the courage to step into it. But when entering a book of stories, I know I can emerge from it feeling I have been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that 【8】 in their own unique ways, my body full of sentences and 【9】 as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams.

I don’t think I can or need to find a panacea（灵丹妙药）for my “problem” and of course, I don’t expect others to offer help. In most cases, when one takes in another man’s poison, 【10】 imagining he can cure him by sharing it, one will instead end up storing it within. So as long as I can live in peace and harmony with my weirdness, this very weirdness is something I would like to cherish rather than get rid of.

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。作者有意识地尽量减少与周围人的互动，努力避免与任何人发展任何永久的关系。作者很喜欢这种状态，认为自己的“社交恐惧症”不需要解决。在文中，作者对自己的这种心态进行了剖析。

【1】考查名词和语境理解。句意：在我的一生中，我一直努力避免与任何人发展任何永久的亲密关系。根据下一句可知，我有意识地尽量减少与周围人的互动。由此推知，作者避免和别人发展永久的“亲密”关系。intimacy：亲密，密切，关系密切。故选BC。

【2】考查形容词和语境理解。句意：我经常悄悄溜走，就像情人从混乱情况中溜走，小偷离开破落的房子那样。根据前一句和下一句可知，作者一直尽量减少和别人的互动，所以，在很多情况下他都会悄悄走开。这种情况和小偷去“破落的，破败的”房子里行窃，但一无所获，最后悄悄离开很相似。reduced：破落的，破败的。故选A。

【3】考查名词和语境理解。句意：我有点喜欢这种无根的感觉，知道自己身上的束缚会少一些。由上文可知，作者尽量减少和周围人的交往，交往越少，和他们的牵扯就越少。string本意为“线”，该处可以引申为“那些像绳子一样纠缠困扰人们的事”。故选AC。

【4】考查名词和语境理解。句意：我似乎总是执着于生命的美好表象，却脱离了生命本身。life itself指的是“生命本身”，该空和“life itself”构成转折关系，因此该处应指“生命的美好表象”。representation：表象。故选D。

【5】考查副词和语境理解。句意：一个人只有得到机会才能阅读所有引人入胜的故事，伴随着惊人的美丽景色。____5____ beautiful sights和fascinating stories感情色彩一致。 该空修饰“beautiful”，表示景色美丽的“程度”，结合选项，AD(strikingly：突出地，出众地)符合语境。故选AD。

【6】考查形容词和语境理解。句意：这就是为什么在几次不满意的尝试之后，一个人开始更喜欢阅读旅游书籍而不是真正出去旅游。根据上句可知，实际的旅行和书上描述的美好的旅行大相径庭，实际的旅行中充满了毫无意义，令人失望的琐事。所以这些旅行都是“令人不满意的”。unsatisfactory：令人不满意的。故选CD。

【7】考查动词和语境理解。句意：我也开始明白，真实的生活就像是一个对我来说过于漂亮的女人。sth. dawn on sb.意为“某人开始理解……，某人开始明白……”。结合该段下文的叙述可知，作者开始“明白，理解”真实生活的意义。故选AB。

【8】考查动词和语境理解。句意：但是当进入一本书的故事，我知道我可以摆脱它，感觉我一直沉浸在他人的生活中，沉浸在以自己的独特的方式展开地情节中。故事的情节以自己独特的方式“展开”。unfold：展开，打开。故选BD。

【9】考查名词和语境理解。句意：我的身体充满了句子和时刻，仿佛带着沉重感从睡眠中醒来一样，这种沉重感来自于那些不被记得的梦。作者在读故事的时候，每个故事情节都像着一个“时刻”。moment：时刻。故选B。

【10】考查副词和语境理解。句意：在大多数情况下，当一个人吸收了另一个人的毒药，他天真地以为可以通过分享来治愈他，结果却把它储存在自己体内。吸收另一个人体内的毒药并不能治愈这个人，所以这是一种“天真的”想法。naively：天真地。故选C。
