Question

At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us.   1.    Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.

   2.   A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 3.   When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones.     4.  

Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true.    5.   Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.

【解析】

试题分析：我们内心的恐惧往往会掩盖事情的真相。有时，我们会被恐惧和焦虑打败，担忧的情绪会改变我们的认知。文章介绍了几条应对恐惧和焦虑情绪的技巧。

1.F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前内容可知，此处应该写忧虑的危害，F项“此外我们的担心可能会改变我们对什么是现实什么是虚幻的理解”是忧虑的危害，故选F。

2.A 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据“A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem.”可知，本段讲的是要学会转移注意力。当紧张的时候，停止在做的事情，做一些能放松心情的事情，故选A。

3.E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句的challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.可知，通过问自己一些积极的问题来挑战那些想法，positive是关键词提示了答案，故选E。

4. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前的When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones.可知，当面对现有的或即将到来的令你忧虑的任务时，可以把任务分解成几个小任务，G项讲的是这样分解的好处，故选G。

5. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后的Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.（然后把其他的事交到上帝的手中去）可知，空白处意思应该是尽人事知天命，C项“专注于你所能做的事，不要去担心一些可能不会发生的事。”符合语境，故选C。

考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

【名师点睛】

关于七选五的做题步骤：

1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。

2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。

3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。

4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。

5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
