【答案解析】[听力原文]
   The first time Arnold Schwarzenegger went to the United States, he was competing in the World Championships in Body building. He lost, felt devastated and cried because he thought he disappointed his friends and himself. But the next day he got his act together, and said, "I'm going to learn from that lesson." And from then on, he continued. His career took off, and everything that he wanted to do he accomplished. All of this happened because of his dreams. Even though other people told him that those dreams were crazy, he held on.
   In Hollywood, they said, "You will never make it. You have a German accent. No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent. Maybe you can play some Nazi roles, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent. Plus your body is overdeveloped. You have all these muscles. They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, but that's outdated. And your name, Schwarzenegger, it is too long to fit on a movie poster. Forget it, you will never make it. Go back to body building." Well, the rest is history. After Terminator 3, he became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood.
   When he ran for governor people said, "Arnold, you will never become governor of California. What do you know about government?" Well, he continued campaigning. He listened to his dreams, and the rest also is history. He became the governor. So those dreams carried him on. So body building gave him the confidence, movies gave him the money, and public service and being a governor gave him a purpose larger than himself.
   How did Schwarzenegger feel when he lost in the bodybuilding competition?
①四个选项都是形容心理状态的词,因此本题很可能询问某人的感受。②短文开头提到,施瓦辛格初到美国参加了世界健美锦标赛,结果失败了,他伤心欲绝,大声痛哭。C中的sad是对原文devastated的同义转换,故为答案。
   虽然短文提到施瓦辛格觉得令朋友和自己失望,但用guilty来形容他的感受太过了,故不选B。虽然施瓦辛格非常伤心,但并未因此怀疑自己或变得悲观,他在第二天便振作起来,决定要吸取教训,此后他仍然继续努力,故排除A“怀疑的”和D“悲观的”。
