优练51.下文“Itturnsoutthatit’sjustmathworkingagainstyou;chancesarethattheotherlinereallyisfaster.”(原来,这只是你的数学问题;很可能,另一个队伍真的更快。)解释
了上文“Youchosewrong.”的原因,下文与空格处是因果关系,所以本空应该是对前文选错提出疑惑,故选A项。2.上文“Grocerystorestrytohaveenoughemployeesatcheckouttogetalltheircustomersthr
oughwithminimumdelay.”(杂货店尽量让足够的员工以最快的速度给所有的顾客结账。)”解释了杂货店之前的工作模式,下文“Anysmallinterruption—apricecheck,achattycustomer—canhavedownstre
ameffects,holdingupanentireline.”(任何一个小小的中断,比如一次价格核对,一个喋喋不休的顾客,都会影响后面的一系列行为,拖慢结账速度。)描述了杂货店的特殊情况,故本空应该填出现特殊情况的原
因,故选G项。3.根据上文“Iftherearethreelinesinthestore,delayswillhappenrandomlyatdifferentregisters.”(如果杂货店中有三列队伍在排队,延
迟将在不同的队伍中随机发生。),并联系下文“Soit’snotjustinyourmind:Anotherlineprobablyismovingfaster.”(所以这不仅仅是在你的想象里:另一条队伍可能移动得更快。)可知本
空说的是任何一个队伍都有可能出现问题。你的队伍排得最快的几率只有三分之一。故选D项。4.上文提示:我们得知研究人员有一个很好的方法来处理这个问题。下文提示:大多数银行和快餐店都是这样做的。排蜿蜒的队伍,在一个登记处长时间拖延不会不公
平地惩罚后面排队的人。相反,它会减慢每个人一点点,但加快了整体结帐速度。)说明这个新方案迅速有效,联系上下文可知,空格中应该是与旧的结账方式作比较。故选F项。5.结合下文“Ittakesmanyreg
isterstokeeponelinemovingquickly,andsomestorescan’taffordthespaceormanpower.”(要让一条队伍快速结账,需要很多的收银机,而有些商店没有足够的空间和人力资源。)说明了一个原因,由此可知,空格处是提出了一个问
题。通过“Ittakesmanyregisterstokeeponelinemovingquickly.”可知这里描述的是不鼓励蛇形队伍的原因。故选B项。【例题2】Someindividualsarebornwitha

:虽然这些都是我们无法控制的事情,但我们可以很肯定地控制我们在这种情况下的反应和感受。下文提示:乐观是一种朴素而强大的心态,可以在许多方面影响我们。空格处应该引入乐观这一主题。B项(我们可以学会保持乐观。)引出乐观这个主题。故选B。12.上文提示:当一些人设定目标
时,他们没有考虑到他们会遇到的问题。因此他们将其视为无法消除的障碍。这就是为什么一旦事情没有按计划进行,他们就会开始退缩和放弃。下文提示:事实上,乐观的人只会把这些问题看成是新的经历和新的可能性。因此空格处应该陈述乐观主义者在遇到问题时该怎么办。F项(另一方面
,乐观的人更容易接受问题。)陈述了乐观者面对问题的态度,承上启下。故选F。13.下文提示:盖洛普公司开展的一项调查发现,美国只有35%的经理在专心工作。缺乏奉献的精神及其对员工的影响每年会使美国损失约770亿至960亿
美元。乐观的领导者可以激励员工。在一个公司中,如果领导是个乐观的人,公司的效益会很好。相反地,如果领导缺乏奉献精神那么会造成巨大的损失。由此推知,本段主要在讲述在公司之中需要良好的氛围,这样可以带动大家。C项(乐观主义者也有利于传播一种良好的氛围
。)满足本段段意。故选C。14.根据空格前一句“Optimisticleaderscanhelpmotivatetheiremployees.”可知,此处在陈述乐观的领导者会带动他的员工。由此推知,下文应该讲
述乐观的人也会带动周围的人。G项(同样,积极的态度可以激励我们周围的每一个人。)承接上文。故选G。15.上文提示:匹兹堡大学的一项研究得出结论,那些乐观的人患心脏病的风险降低了30%。由此推知下文应该分析这一现象产生的原因。
E项(这是因为他们通常更快乐,压力也更小。)陈述了这个原因。故选E。
