17．B lucky“幸运的，侥幸的，吉利的”。你会问自己：“为什么我没有这种好运气呢？”前文的have all the luck和下文的“But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that...”也有暗示。 18．A put themselves in a place“使他们自己处于有运气的地方”。成语“设身处地”可译为：put oneself in other's position。 19．C create“创造，创作，创建”。第三段的第三句“But than man created his own luck...”有暗示。语境为：在某种程度上，他们(那些成功的人们)学会了如何“创造”自己的好运。 20．C talk about“谈论”。下句“I'm talking about hard, honest work”有暗示。 21．D practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”；adequate“充分的，适当的，胜任的”；meaningful“有目的的，有意义的”；honest“诚实的，可靠的，直率的”。前句“I'm talking about
dishonest or illegal ways”暗示此处应填honest。 22．A 下句中的“they themselves are not good at doing”表明这里填ask，短语ask for help表示“寻求帮助”。 23．B 习惯搭配be good at表示“擅长”。然而对自己不擅长的事情，他们学会了向别人求助。 24．A limit“局限，界限，限度”；pressure“压力”；strength“力量，优点”；ability“能力，才智”。前句说“我们不仅要充分地发挥自己的特长”，因此本句是说“我们还必须知道自己的局限和弱点”。out limits and weaknesses对应our own special strength。 25．B always“总是，一直”，表示频率非常高。由语境“那个人靠总是早早地来到办公室创造了自己的好运”可知，这里应选always。而不是“偶尔、很少、从不”早到办公室。 26．C realize“认识到，了解”；promise“充诺，答应”；admit“承认”；convey“运输，表达”。根据空后的“when he was wrong”(当他犯错误的时候)可推断，他勇于“承认”(admit)错误。 27．D 上一空后的when...状语从句有暗示。语境为：当他做了大部分工作的时候，他仍然与他人分享荣誉和奖赏。 28．B get by“混过，凑合，勉强应付”。get over“克服，忍受，痊愈”。语境为：他永不满足于仅仅做普通的工作，不会得过且过，他总是追求尽善尽美。 29．B make the extra effort“付出额外的努力”。名词effort总是与make搭配。 30．A take“花费”；afford“买得起，承担得起”；obtain“获得，得到”；adapt“(使)适应”。句式it takes...to do something表示“做某事需要……”。语境为：他们必须努力工作，尽一切努力走到运气和成功降临的路上。 31．A otherwise“否则，要不然”，引出相反的结果。语境为：否则，我们就会因为没有准备好而错失良机。 32．D approach“途径，方式，方法”；administration“管理，经营，支配”；action“行动，活动，行为”；attitude“态度，看法”。语境为：你从不会知道适当的机遇何时来临，那个关键的人物何时注视着你出色的态度和表现。 33．D 短语in the hands of somebody/in somebody's hands表示“命运掌握在某人的手中”。语境：如果你让自己的生活处于上帝的掌控之中…… 34．A watch“保护，留心，注视”；adopt“采用，采纳，收养”；affect“影响”；catch“逮住，捉住，抓住，追上”。重要的人物(上帝)一直在注视你和你所做的事情。本段第二句中“when the right, important person is watching your...”部分有暗示。 35．B 根据下句bless your life in many ways可推测本空填reward“报酬，报答，奖赏，报偿”。语境为：你时时、事事都尽力使他(上帝)愉悦，上帝就会用很多方式(好运气)来奖赏你。 Ⅲ.阅读理解
Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it's other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling
important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval(赞同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build
our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life. 36．What Oscar Wilde says implies that ________. A. we have thoughts similar to those of others B. most people have a variety of thoughts C. other people's thoughts are more important D. most people's thoughts are controlled by others 答案与解析：D 第一段提到我们被别人接受是一个不错的体验。因此学会尽一切可能让别人喜欢，正像Oscar Wilde提到的，许多人就是别人，他们的思想是别人的观点，故选D项。 37．What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph? A. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom. B. We may lose ourselves to please others. C. We need to pay for what we want to get. D. The price of taking the drug is freedom. 答案与解析：B 第三段中提到如果仅靠别人的观点生存，我们会把自己的生活建立在沙滩上，每个人都有自己的不同的思考方式，而且人们会随时改变想法，如果一个人想取悦于每一个人，他会以谁都没取悦而告终。作者的意思是总是想取悦别人是很危险的事，会失去自我。 38．It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A. it's better to do what we like B. we shouldn't care what others think C. we shouldn't change our own opinions D. it's important to accept others' opinions 答案与解析：B 从文章最后一句可知，我们由自身内部驱动，而不是别人的观点，我们会过一种更主动、有效的生活，因此推测你不能太在意别人的看法，而是要在意自己的。 39．The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ________. A. analyzing causes and effects B. providing examples and facts C. discussing questions D. making suggestions 答案与解析：A 作者分析听别人的原因和会有什么后果，故选A项。 Ⅳ.短文改错 Dear Editor， I'm writing to tell you about how we students use computers in our daily lives.

So frustrated was I that I lost interest in almost anything. I had several sleepless nights, causing me to be unable to concentrate my mind on what was going on in class, which in turn worsened my grades. How upset I was! Then I went to my maths teacher for help. He patiently analyzed the reason for my failure. Knowing that I didn‘t spend enough time on maths, he said that I would pass it as long as I work more diligently at maths in a proper way. And the result proved what he said is right. I feel so delighted. 。
