句意：几乎可以肯定的是他将要当选学生会主席。

A. certain确定的，必然的；B. exact精确的，准确的；C. right正确的；D. sure有把握的；It’s certain that…为固定句式，意为“…是肯定”，句中的it 作形式主语，真正的主语是后面that 引导的主语从句，is 是系动词，certain 是形容词形式作表语。

虽然certain与sure有相同的意思，但“It is…that结构中只能用certain，不能用sure。

例句：It's certain that he will come today.（可以肯定他今天会来。

）
【点睛】certain与sure的区别。

1.Sure与certain均作“一定的，确信的”。

两者用法相似，多数情况下可换用。

如：
It is sure/certain to rain. 肯定要下雨。

He is sure/certain to come. 他肯定会来的。

2.但两者不可换用的情况：
1）“It is…that结构中只能用certain，不能用sure。

It is certain that he will come tomorrow. 他明天一定会来.
It was certain that our football team would win the game. 我们的足球队一定会赢。

如是否定句，用whether，不同that。

例如：
It is not certain whether he will come. 他是否会来还不确定。

2）在祈使句中通常用sure，不用certain。

例如：
Be sure to tell me all the news. 一定要告诉我所有的消息。

Be sure and come as soon as possible. 一定要尽快来.。

3）作定语时，sure作“有把握的；肯定的；可靠的”解；certain作“某个；某些”解。

Put it in a sure place. 把它放在一个确定的地方
A certain person called on me yesterday. 昨天有人来拜访我。

4）Sure在美语中可用作副词作肯定答语，用以代替surely，相当于certainly，of course；而certain则不能用作副词.
---I wonder if I could use your phone. --不知道我能不能用你的电话。

---Sure. Go ahead. 当然可以。

用吧。

17. You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don’t you?___16___ About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.
1. Self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “That’s a nice shirt, but I can’t afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” ____17____
Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.
2. Distance yourself
___18___ Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (困境).
3. Don’t try to c hange complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce (弹起) off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. ____19____ If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “I’m glad I rested up over the weekend, so I’m ready to make some improvement on that big project.”
4. ___20___
When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the respo nsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers don’t really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.
A. Find solutions
B. Change responsibility
C. You have got a lot of company.
D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.
E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
F. You will never know what they are going to talk about.
G. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.

故B项（转移责任）概括本段内容。

故选B。

三、阅读理解
18. “It’s really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.
Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.
When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he had been called to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn’t speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year?
Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit, the tears began to flow and it felt like they would never end. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn’t be her dad for so long. They depend on him for so many things. who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? And then the thought hit her, “What if he doesn’t make it home?” Casey began to sob more than ever.
