Oliver is a host of a TV programme on food. He says food 1 (play) a big role in
his life. "My mum was a great cook, and she'd sometimes let me have a try," he said. The first
dish Oliver prepared for his family was fried chicken wings. He made it with his mum's help.
Oliver says if you're 2 (luck) enough to have someone close to you who enjoys
cooking, ask them 3 you can join in when it's possible.
【答案】1．plays/has played/is playing/has been playing 2．lucky 3．if/whether
【分析】本文是记叙文，主要介绍了美食节目主持人奥利弗。
1．考查时态。句意：他说食物在他的生命中扮演着重要角色。此处表示现在的状态，
也可以表示从过去一直到现在延续的状态，所以可以用现在时，现在进行时，现在完
成时和现在完成进行时。主语food为不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。故填plays/has
played/is playing/has been playing。
2．考查形容词。句意：奥利弗说，如果你足够幸运，身边有一个喜欢烹饪的人。空前
有be动词，所以空处填形容词做表语。故填lucky。
3．考查连词。句意：问他们你是否有可能加入他们。____ you can join in when it's
possible.是宾语从句，从句成分完整，但缺“是否”的意思，故填if/whether。
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，
在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Single-use plastic bags are used at most a few times before they 4 (throw) away. It
takes them hundreds of years 5 (break) down. Many of these bags end up in the ocean
where larger ones can trap sea creatures, such as turtles and dolphins. Over time, the bags fall
apart 6 countless tiny pieces, and fish can accidentally eat some of them. Now, lots of
7 (country) and regions are taking action to ban the sale of such bags to stop people using
them.
【答案】4．are thrown 5．to break 6．into/to 7．countries
试卷第1页，共3页【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了一次性塑料袋的危害，应禁止使用。
4．考查时态语态。句意：一次性塑料袋在扔掉之前最多使用几次。本文讲的是客观事
实，应该用一般现在时，主语they（Single-use plastic bags ）和谓语动词throw之间是
被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，且谓语动词用复数形式。故填are thrown。
5．考查动词不定式。句意：它们用几百年的时间才分解。固定句型It takes sb./sth. +一
段时间+ to do sth.（花某人/物多长时间干某事），此处用动词不定式（to do ）作真正
主语，It形式主语。故填to break。
6．考查介词。句意：随着时间的推移，这些袋子分解成成无数的小碎片，鱼可能会不
小心吃掉其中一些。固定搭配fall apart into/to...（分崩离析成……），介词into/to可表
“进入……之中/变成……”。故填into/to。
7．考查名词的数。句意：现在，许多国家和地区正在采取行动禁止销售这种袋子，以
阻止人们使用。lots of修饰可数名词复数，故填countries。
【点睛】
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，
在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
A piece of stone 8 (find) on a Dutch beach suggests that our extinct human
relatives, known as Neanderthals, were cleverer than previously thought. The Neanderthals
9 （live）alongside human ancestors in Europe for tens of thousands of years, before
dying out about 40, 000 years ago. They were much stronger than modern humans, but it's
long been assumed that human ancestors were 10 （smart）than the Neanderthals.
However, the stone tool made by Neanderthals suggests otherwise.
【答案】8．found 9．lived/had lived/had been living 10．smarter
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在荷兰海滩上发现的一块石头表明已经灭绝
的人类亲戚尼安德特人比我们之前认为的更聪明。
8．考查非谓语动词。句意：在荷兰海滩上发现的一块石头表明，我们已经灭绝的人类
亲戚尼安德特人比我们之前认为的更聪明。句子的谓语为suggests，设空处在句中作
非谓语和逻辑主语之间是逻辑的被动关系。故答案为found。
9．考查动词的时态和语态。句意：尼安德特人与人类祖先一起在欧洲生活了数万年，
直到大约4万年前灭绝。设空处在句中作谓语，结合句意，此处是指在灭绝之前一直
生活了数万年。设空处的动作发生在灭绝之前，结合时间状语for tens of thousands of
试卷第2页，共3页years。故应用过去完成时态或者过去完成进行时态；又因动作发生在过去，强调过去
发生的动作，也可用一般过去时。故答案为lived/had lived/had been living。
10．考查形容词的比较级。句意：但长期以来，人们一直认为人类祖先比尼安德特人
更聪明。设空处前为were设空处应用形容词，设空处后的than表示比较，应用比较
级。故答案为smarter。

After a thorough 15 we determined that he must have left it at the fountain.

massive 18 , "they don't make that kind of watch anymore." We were all very 19

dinner, but we would also find the police and ask them if the backpack had been 21
.
As we exited from the parking garage, we could see the fountain as we walked down the
long staircase. I saw something black 22 there, but it was right next to a woman
standing by the fountain, so I could not 23 what it was or if it was hers.

I said. But that was it. It had been five or six hours since we left the fountain, and it was 25

I literally 27 when we reached it and it was his！Everyone in our party was
blown away by this "miracle（奇迹）". In my wildest 28 , I would never have

Baggy has become the first dog in the UK—and potentially the world—to join the fight
against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground.
Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close
to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground
level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk
of developing lung problems.
Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet
in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair（婴
儿车）, she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered
by the Environment A gency.
试卷第9页，共3页The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his
dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher
close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the
agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to
emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）.
Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he
keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop
young kids from getting asthma."
“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added.
“He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）. About one year ago, he got this new
piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some
monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the
pollution？'So we did it."
Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time
she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her."
34．With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can ____________.
A．take pollutant readings B．record pollutant levels
C．process collected data D．reduce air pollution
35．What can we learn from the Baggy data?
A．High places are free of air pollution.
B．Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.
C．Conventional monitors are more reliable.
D．Air is more polluted closer to the ground.
36．What is Tom's purpose of doing the research?
A．To warn of a health risk. B．To find out pollution sources.
C．To test his new monitor. D．To prove Baggy's abilities.
37．According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt?
A．Modest. B．Generous. C．Creative. D．Outgoing.
【答案】34．B 35．D 36．A 37．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了13岁的孩子Tom Hunt和他的爸爸通过在自
己的宠物狗的脖子上戴污染监测器来记录地面附近的污染物水平；监测仪显示，接近
试卷第10页，共3页地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助于强调婴儿和幼儿可能面临更高风险发展肺部问题
的担忧。
34．细节理解题。本题题干意为：她的衣领上戴着监视器，Baggy 可以…。根据文章
第二段Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements
close to the ground. Baggy在她的衣领上戴着污染监测器，这样她就可以在接近地面的
地方进行数据测量。可知戴着污染监测器可以记录污染物的水平。故答案为B项。
35．推理判断题。本题题干意为：我们从Baggy收集到的数据中可以了解到什么？根
据文章第二段 Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground
level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk
of developing lung problems.她的监测仪显示，接近地面的空气污染水平更高，这有助
于突显婴儿和幼童罹患肺部疾病的风险更高的担忧。可知接近地面的空气污染水平更
高。故答案为D项。
36．推理判断题。本题题干意为：进行这项研究Tom的意图是？根据文章第四段Tom
has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that
babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）.汤姆已经令人震惊的发现报告给政
府,试图强调,婴儿患哮喘的风险更高。可知Tom研究的目的是对健康风险提出警告。
故答案为A项。
37．推理判断题。本题题干意为：根据文章，哪个词最能描述汤姆·亨特?根据文章倒
数第二段“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt
added. “He became very interested in gadgets（小装置）.About one year ago, he got this
new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some
monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the
pollution？'So we did it."汤姆在很小的时候就对环境保护产生了热情，马特补充说。他
非常感兴趣的产品(小装置)。大约一年前，他得到了一个类似试管的新技术。一个星期
天的下午，我们出去做一些监测，他说，为什么我们不把它戴在Baggy的衣领上，让
她监测污染?于是我们就这么做了。可知Tom是非常的有创造力的。故答案为C项。
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-
creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a
16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions,
covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been
simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she
试卷第11页，共3页didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an
understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way
isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen
（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled
their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve
present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for
eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an
object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way
to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea
in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow
of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as
they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road
map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of
art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help
develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked
to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were
invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better
bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we
can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38．How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A．Confused about the technical terms.
B．Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C．Discouraged by its complex structure.
D．Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39．According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________.
A．restore old workshops B．understand the craftsmen
C．improve visual effects D．inspire the philosophers
40．Why does the author mention museums?
试卷第12页，共3页A．To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B．To present the findings of old science.
C．To highlight the importance of antiques.
D．To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41．Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B．Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C．Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D．Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
【答案】38．D 39．B 40．D 41．C
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研
究，认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来，就能够创造
更大成就。
38．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she
didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an
understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊的主要是，
她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手
工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿，这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊，故选D。
39．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）
who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their
homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品，可以揭示他们如何看待世界，他们的家里有什
么物件。由此可知，重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。
40．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums,
Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more,
reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore
them down.” 史密斯说，这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它，一个人
必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是，重建可能是唯一的方法，以了解宝藏
磨损之前的样子。因此可知，博物馆要想很好保存物品，必须要知道这件物品是如何
制成的，也是在强调手工技能的价值，故选D。
41．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on
experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the
试卷第13页，共3页handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说，如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值，我
们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在
于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来，就能够获得更多的成就。C
选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家，符合文章主题，
适合做标题，故选C。
【点睛】标题猜测题。属于主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，
点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题
密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；
第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中
C选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选C。
Certain forms of AI are indeed becoming ubiquitous. For example, algorithms (算法)
carry out huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on
city streets, and our smartphones are translating from one language into another. These
systems are sometimes faster and more perceptive than we humans are. But so far that is only
true for the specific tasks for which the systems have been designed. That is something that
some AI developers are now eager to change.
Some of today’s AI pioneers want to move on from today’s world of “weak” or “narrow”
AI, to create “strong” or “full” AI, or what is often called artificial general intelligence (AGI).
In some respects, today’s powerful computing machines already make our brains look weak.
AGI could, its advocates say, work for us around the clock, and drawing on all available data,
could suggest solutions to many problems. DM, a company focused on the development of
AGI, has an ambition to “solve intelligence”. “If we’re successful,” their mission statement
reads, “we believe this will be one of the most important and widely beneficial scientific
advances ever made.”
Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possible or even probable.
In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the eventual creation of
an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities of
any man, however clever.” Good went on to suggest that “the first ultra-intelligent machine”
could be “the last invention that man need ever make.”
Fears about the appearance of bad, powerful, man-made intelligent machines have been
reinforced (强化) by many works of fiction — Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the
Terminator film series, for example. But if AI does eventually prove to be our downfall, it is
试卷第14页，共3页unlikely to be at the hands of human-shaped forms like these, with recognisably human
motivations such as aggression (敌对行为). Instead, I agree with Oxford University
philosopher Nick Bostrom, who believes that the heaviest risks from AGI do not come from a
decision to turn against mankind but rather from a dogged pursuit of set objectives at the
expense of everything else.
The promise and danger of true AGI are great. But all of today’s excited discussion
about these possibilities presupposes the fact that we will be able to build these systems. And,
having spoken to many of the world’s foremost AI researchers, I believe there is good reason
to doubt that we will see AGI any time soon, if ever.
42．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph I probably mean?
A．Enormous in quantity. B．Changeable daily.
C．Stable in quality. D．Present everywhere.
43．What could AGI do for us, according to its supporters?
A．Help to tackle problems. B．Make brains more active.
C．Benefit ambitious people. D．Set up powerful databases.
44．As for Irving Good’s opinion on ultra-intelligent machines, the author is ____________.
A．supportive B．disapproving
C．fearful D．uncertain
45．What can be inferred about AGI from the passage?
A．It may be only a dream.
B．It will come into being soon.
C．It will be controlled by humans.
D．It may be more dangerous than ever.
【答案】42．D 43．A 44．B 45．A
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要就通用人工智能(AGI)实现的可能性进行了论述。
42．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句后面的For example, algorithms (算法) carry out
huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on city
streets, and our smartphones are translating from one language into another(例如，算法在我
们的金融市场上进行大量交易，自动驾驶汽车出现在城市街道上，我们的智能手机正
在从一种语言翻译成另一种语言)可知，人工智能在我们生活中用处十分广泛。由此推
知，划线词所在句意为“某些形式的人工智能确实正在变得无处不在”，即划线词与
试卷第15页，共3页D选项“Present everywhere.(在任何地方存在)”意思接近。故选D项。
43．细节理解题。根据第二段AGI could, its advocates say, work for us around the clock,
and drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems(AGI的倡导者
说，AGI可以24小时为我们工作，并利用所有可用的数据，可以提出许多问题的解决
方案)可知，AGI(通用人工智能)的倡导者认为，AGI(通用人工智能)可以提出许多问题
的解决方案，帮助我们解决问题。因此，A选项“Help to tackle problems(帮助解决问
题)”符合题意。故选A项。
44．推理判断题。根据第三段Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is
possible or even probable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good
predicted the eventual creation of an “ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the
intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however clever.”(自从人工智能的早期，想象力
已经超过了可能。1965年，一位富有想象力的数学家欧文·古德预言，最终将创造出一
台“超智能机器……它将远远超过任何一个人的智力活动，无论他有多聪明。”)可知，
作者认为Irving Good对“超智能机器”的想象力超出了实现的可能，作者并不赞成他
的观点，因此B项“disapproving(不赞成)”符合题意。故选B项。
45．推理判断题。根据文章最后一句And, having spoken to many of the world's foremost
AI researchers, I believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see A GI any time soon, if
ever. (而且，在与世界上许多顶尖的人工智能研究人员交谈后，我相信有充分的理由怀
疑我们是否会很快看到AGI)可推断出，通用人工智能（AGI）或许只是一个梦想，A
选项“It may be only a dream(它也许仅仅是一个梦想)”符合题意。故选择A项。
四、七选五
Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand
and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the
way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who
is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person
himself. 46 Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and
start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend
to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors.
They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.
47 People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of
depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from
试卷第16页，共3页heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and
hardships. 48 For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis
accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a
sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to
treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an
opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a
source of additional stress. 49
In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard
times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant
optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. 50
Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's
physical and mental health.
A．It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.
B．Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.
C．It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.
D．Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E．As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F．They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G．They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.
【答案】46．B 47．D 48．C 49．G 50．A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了积极思考对人产生的各种益处，同时将积
极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，分析两种人的差异。积极思维是应对困难时期和提高
个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。
46．根据上文“Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware
and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我对话是一
个人持续不断的想法，他常常对一些事件、现象、人，甚至是他自己都没有意识和不
确定)”以及后文“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start
to form a positive view on an issue.(同时，积极的思考可以帮助停止消极的自我对话，开
始形成对一个问题的积极的观点)”由此可知，上文对自我对话进行了定义，后文则提
到了积极的思考可以有助于停止消极的自我对话，可知本句是在说明消极的自我对话
对人的不良影响。后文中negative self-talks可对应到B选项中Negative self-talk。故B
试卷第17页，共3页选项“消极的自言自语会损害自信，降低自尊”符合语境，故选B。
47．根据后文“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of
depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from
heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and
hardships.(积极思考的人寿命更长，抑郁和焦虑率更低，身心更健康，死于心脏问题的
风险更低。积极的思考也有助于一个人处理问题和困难的能力)”由此可知，后文提到
了积极思考对人的益处，后文中People who think positively以及Positive thinking可对
应到D选项中Positive thinking。故D选项“积极思考对身心有几个有益的影响”符合
语境，故选D。
48．根据后文“For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied
by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer
against depression and anxiety.(例如，研究人员发现，当危机伴随着强烈的情绪时，比
如自然灾害，积极的思考可以为抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲)”可知，后文举出的例子说
明了积极思考可以让一个人在面临危机时，保持冷静。故C选项“它帮助一个人在困
难的情况下保持头脑清醒和自信”符合语境，故选C。
49．根据上文“Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a
challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth.
Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.(积极思
考的、有韧性的人倾向于把每一个问题都看作是一个挑战，一个改进的机会，或者一
个个人成长的机会。相反，悲观主义者倾向于将问题视为额外压力的来源)可知，上文
在将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，本句应承接上文，进一步解释说明悲观主义者
在解决问题时一些性格特点。上文Pessimists可对应到G选项中They。故G选项“他
们常常在试图解决问题之前就感到气馁，即使是很小的问题”符合语境，故选G。
50．根据上文“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing
with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with
ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. (总之，积极思考是应对
困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。当一个人拒绝注意到一个问题时，
它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系)”可知，本句承接上文进一步说明一个人拒绝注意
到问题的影响，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系，也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适。
故A选项“它也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适”符合语境，故选A。
