2021年十月自学考试综合英语（一）模拟训练2

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends – or out enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

点击查询答案11.答案B.文章第一段“当大家回顾过去，像这些疑问可能使大家感觉糟糕.但当大家回顾过去，为时已晚”，由此判断说话者觉得可能在过去他未能“读懂”朋友的真实感受.12.答案C.作者在第二段提到But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little,意思是用 “dog”如此的词使你有点出洋相，所以C项 “有时说话者所用的词会暴露其真实情感”的说法正确.13.答案C.这道题是关于全文中心思想的.第一段讲的是大家在理解其他人话语时会犯了错误误;第二段讲解为何会犯了错误误;最和一段告诉大家怎么样防止犯了错误.14答案C.最后一段作者以四个反问句说明了应怎么样听其他人讲话，选项C将这四点概括起来了.15答案A.文章最后一段即是作者的建议，特别最后一句“花点时间想想大家话里的真实含意可能防止另一个错误”，由此判断选项A正确.而选项B和D的说法片面，选项C和原文意思相去甚远.
