    Jealousy often consists【C2】______a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust. So far, psychologists have proposed several models of the processes【C3】______ jealousy and have identified some factors that would possibly【C4】______this emotion. Jealousy is often【C5】______as a series of particularly strong emotions and constructed as a【C6】______human experience.【C7】______jealousy is a normal, healthy emotion: it’s part of what makes us tick. Who hasn’t experienced sibling rivalry or felt【C8】______when their partner spends time with other people? Feeling jealous helps us【C9】______our loved ones and protect our important relationships. But for a small number of us, extreme jealousy【C10】______lead to obsessive behavior like stalking. It can also cause【C11】______, destroy relationships and even kill their lovers.

【C7】
选项 A、Trivial
B、Mild
C、Tiny
D、Faint
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。句意为：轻微的嫉妒是一种正常、健康的情绪，它是使我们的生活不断继续的一部分。根据句子后半部分出现的a normal，healthy emotion(一种正常、健康的情绪)可知，此处填入修饰jealousy的形容词应该表示“程度轻的”。[B]Mild“温和的，轻微的”可修饰jealousy，表示程度轻微的嫉妒，为正确答案。其余三个形容词也含有“弱的，细小”的意思，但是侧重点不同。trivial“不重要的，琐碎的”，例如：It’s useless to fire away with such trivial details．(喋喋不休地谈这些琐碎细节是无用的。)tiny“微小的，很少的”，强调与同类或其他物体比较，小得超出正常比例，有时带强烈的感情色彩。例如：The tiny tropical island of Ascension is not easy to find．(这个微小的阿森松热带岛屿很不容易找到。)faint“虚弱的，微弱的”，指对某事物印象不深，或指声音微弱或希望渺茫等。例如：He coulddiscern a faint light ahead in the forest．(他能看到前面森林里有一线微弱的灯光。)[A]、[C]、[D]均不符合语境，所以排除。
