種用法。4．off→down結(jié)合上下文可知此處意為“我不想讓她失望”，故應用letsb.down表示“讓某人失望”。5．but→and或so此處應為順承關(guān)系而非轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故將but改為and或so。6．was→were此處主語為allthethings，故應用were。7．better前加aleadabetterlife表示“過一種更好的生活".8．mother→mother's此處表示“達到了媽媽的期望",故應用其所有格形式。9．√10．good→bad根據(jù)上文可知此處是指“我不再認為壓力是一件壞事”，故應將good改為bad。＊＊*＊＊**＊*****＊＊****＊＊*＊＊*＊＊＊＊＊***＊*＊*＊＊*＊**＊＊*＊＊**＊＊＊*＊**＊＊*結(jié)束例1（2012全國卷1）LastnightIwasdrivingfromHarrisburgtoLewisburg，distanceofabouteightymiles.Itwaslate。SeveraltimesIgotstuckbehindaslow-movingtruckonanarrowroadwithasolidwhitelineonmyleft,andIbecameincreasinglyimpatient.Atonepointalonganopenroad,Icametoacrossingwithatrafficlight.Iwasaloneontheroadbynow，butasIdrovenearthelight，itturnedredandImadeastop。Ilookedleft,rightandbehindme.Nothing。Notacar，nosuggestionofcarlamps，butthereIsat,waitingforthelighttochange,theonlyhumanbeingforatleastamileinanydirection。Istartedwonderingwhy1refusedtorunthelightIwasnotafraidofbeingcaught,becausetherewasclearlynopolicemanwound,andtherecertainlywouldhavebeennodangeringoingthroughit。。Muchlaterthatnight，thequestionofwhyI'dstoppedforthatlightcamebacktome.IthinkIstoppedbecauseit’spartofacontract（契約）weallhavewitheachother。It’snotonlythelaw，butitisanagreementwehave，andwetrusteachothertohonorit：wedon'tgothroughredlights.Trustisourfirstinclination（傾向)。Doubtingothersdoesnotseemtobenaturaltous.Thewholeconstructionofoursocietydependsonmutual（相互）trust,notdistrustWedowhatwesaywe'lldo;weshowupwhenwesaywe’llshowup;andwepaywhenwesaywe'llpay。Wetrusteachotherinthesematters，andwe'reangryordisappointedwiththepersonororganizationthatbreaksthetrustwehaveinthem.Iwassoproudofmyselfforstoppingfortheredlightthatnight.65.Theeventmadetheauthorstronglybelievethat.A。trafficrulesmaybeunnecessaryB。doubtingothersishumannatureC。patienceisimportanttodriversD.asocietyneedsmutualtrust［點撥]D根據(jù)短文第5段，不難判斷作者相信一個社會需要互相信任。因此，正確答案為D選項
