（9）考查名词。comfort“舒适”;relief“缓解”;pain“疼痛”;anxiety“焦虑”。因为怀疑自己患了某种罕见的疾病,所以作者感到不舒服,回到家感觉身体某些部分有些疼痛。故选C。（10）考查动词短语。pick out“挑选”;put out“出版,扑灭”;turn out“结果是”;figure out“弄清楚”。作者在下一次去加油站时弄清楚了缘由。故选D。

（11）考查动词。feel“感到”;behave“表现”;look“看起来”;see“看见”。加油站粉刷成了黄色,墙上反射出来的光线使里面的每个人看起来好像病了一样。故选C。

（12）考查连词。however“但是”;therefore“因此”;besides“此外”;otherwise“否则,不然”。葛奴上文可知，真相就是墙上反射出来的光线使里面的每个人看起来好像病了一样；在根据下文可知，我让那段短对话改变了我整整一天的态度。前后内容之间是转折关系,故选A。（13）考查形容词。kind“友善的”;helpful“有帮助的”;rude“粗鲁的”;negative“消极的,悲观的”。服务员认为作者生病了,他的态度是消极的,悲观的。故选D。

（16）考查副词。smoothly“光滑地”;badly“坏地”;well“好地”;positively“积极地”。but后面的内容和前一句构成转折关系。but后面提到的是如果我们认为好的事情会发生……;那么该处应该提到的是：如果我们认为情况不好,那么坏的事情就会发生。故选B。

（18）考查副词。usually“通常”;certainly“当然,肯定”;definitely“绝对地”; seldom“很少”。根据上文该原理反过来同样适用可知,如果我们认为好的事情会发生,那么好的事情通常就会发生。故选A。

7．阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to success. One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, "Why are you in my class when it's obvious that you have little or no 1 in chemistry?"

I came up with an explanation by 2 pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a /an 3 excuse. He gave me the following advice.

"Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is 4 . Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor's or your parents'. There is no secret formula(公式), no examination you have to 5 , and no guarantee, but there is a secret ingredient- 6 . To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. 7 it is fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your 8 and set a path to achieve it. Only then will you find true 9 ."

Since I was just nineteen years old, that was pretty profound advice to 10 , but I knew instinctively (本能地) that he was 11 . I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 12 where my passion was hiding. It was so 13 that even my kid sister could have told me my true passion was music. It was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had 14 considered music as a hobby.

Could I be a successful musician? Or a songwriter? Or a music critic? There was only one way to find out, so I took my professor's 15 and switched to the university's music school. I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet(单簧管) and 16 the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that 17 has never left me.

I'm now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and 18 man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I 19 , the photos of the famous musicians I was lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I am honored to call my friends.

Life was a long journey, and not a/an 20 one, but I followed my passion and succeeded.
