单选题 【D7】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:很明显这是对一个电视节目(television show)的主持人的访谈。Yorke问到:“你常说从痛苦中找到意义,这是什么意思呢?”McGrow对此解释就是“如果我们不从痛苦中学习,那么痛苦就是个惩罚。如果我们利用了它,那就是笔学费了。”这里有很明显的对比关系,it指代misfortune(厄运)。因此本题选C。
单选题 【D8】
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】解析:前面McGrow说到很难欺骗到他,原因选择D最合适(因为他是个很熟悉都市生活方式的人)。这里street-smart是个有特殊意义的词组,意思是“在城市中有灵活的生存能力”。因此本题选D。
单选题 【D9】
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:谈到对某些家庭问题在电视节目上的治疗效果,McGrow否认他会使用快速疗法,但他会是个“情感的指南针”(emotional compass),使得真正起作用的时候是他们走下舞台之后。因此B是正确答案。
单选题 【D10】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:针对Yorke的问题“什么是他所拥有的最有价值的东西”,空格后谈到家庭,显然McGrow认为家庭是最为重要的。
