Passage 11（2019 •山西）
请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词，并写在答题卡相应位置上。每空一词
As the proverb says, “Your tongue has the power of life and death.” This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.
We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed ( 责 备 ) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative ( 负 面 的 ) word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn ( 相 应 地 ) have a great influence on your action.
Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It’s not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring you out something amazing.
【答案与解析】
【文章大意】你相信吗，语言是有力量的？鼓励的话会让一个人振作起来，继续努力学习和工作；而责备的话会让一个人萎靡不振，甚至失去信心。语言对大脑也会产生影响，这样又会影响你的行动。因此如果你有梦想，把它写下来并且说出来，你的语言可能会给你带来惊喜。
39. After 【解析】由原文中第二段第二句 A child is blamed(责备) by teachers or parents, and after that he might probably think of himself as a bad child.可知，这里应用after，意为“在…之后”，注意首字母大写，故填After。
40. pass 【解析】由原文第二段中When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons.可知，不能通过考试的孩子，应鼓励他们，使他们更加努力地学习。fail the exam=can’t pass the exam ，是同义转换。故这里填pass，意为“通过”。
41. sad 【解析】由原文第二段For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. 可知，鼓励的话语可以让难过的人撑过艰难的日子。因此这里应填sad，“伤心的”。
42. greatly 【解析】由原文第二段Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn(相应地) have a great influence on your action. 可知，言语可以对人的行为有很大影响。原文使用了great 形容词，题目中修饰动词influences，故转换为副词，填greatly。
43. choice/choices 【解析】由原文第三段 Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. 可知，这里应表示“你的选择”，原文是choose 动词，这里应转换为名词，故填choice/choices。
