(2016·河北唐山三模)
We spend a lot of our lives looking for role models,advisers and teachers to guide us on our path.There is nothing 1 with this and,in fact,finding the right 2 at the right time can really help.However,it is important to realize that in the 3 of such a figure,we can 4 rely upon ourselves,because we carry 5 us everything we need to know to make 6 on our paths to self-realization.All 7 need to do is to let go of our belief that we need to 8 guidance.
The path of the spirit is like a journey with a 9 .Most of us know that achieving our goal only makes us 10 for a moment,and then the happiness passes 11 a new object of desire appears.Joy is a lifelong aspect of our inner selves and is not 12 us at any point.We needn’t travel to find it or imagine that it 13 only in the body of another.In fact,it is something we already 14 .
So when we find ourselves on our path,not knowing which way to turn and wishing for 15 ,we can turn to 16 .We may not 17 the right answer at fist,but if we simply ask,let go,and wait patiently,a(n) 18 will come.The more we practice this process and 19 it,the less we will look outside ourselves for guidance,for we will have 20 become our own teachers and guides.

1.B 我们花费一生中大量的时间寻找榜样、顾问和老师来指导我们人生的方向。事实上,这样做没有错。在适当的时候找到适当的人真的会对我们有很大帮助。根据后文可知答案为B项。A项“有帮助的,有益的”;C项“熟悉的”;D项“受欢迎的,流行的”。
2.A 前文提到的role models,advisers and teachers可知,这些都是要寻找的人,所以答案为A项。
3.D 然而,重要的是,即便没有这样的人,我们也可以放心地依靠我们自己。因为我们本身具备我们知道的一切,从而让我们在实现自我的过程中不断取得进步。由两句中间的However可知,前后句为转折关系,所以该句强调在没有这些人的情况下我们该怎么办。答案为D项absence“缺席,不在”。
4.A 根据第3题解析可知答案为A项safely“安全地,放心地”。B项“感兴趣地”;C项“紧张地”;D项“秘密地,背地里”。
5.C 根据第3题解析可知答案为C项within“在……内部”,强调自身存在或具有某种特征或性质。
6.B 根据第3题解析可知答案为B项。考查固定短语make progress“取得进步”。这里强调不依赖他人,要靠自己才能在实现自我的过程中取得进步。
7.A 我们需要做的就是摒弃这种凡事都要寻求别人指导的观念。作者通篇文章都在论述我们如何依靠自己来实现自我的成长,所以答案为A项。
8.C 根据第7题解析可知答案为C项seek“寻找,搜寻”。A项“拒绝”;B项“提供,出价”;D项“提供,供给”。
9.B 精神追求的道路就像拥有目标的旅行。由下文achieving our goal可知答案为B项goal“目标”。
10.A 我们多数人都知道,实现我们的目标只能使我们快乐一阵子。当新的欲望目标出现的时候,这种快乐就很快过去了。由下文的the happiness可知答案为A项happy。
11.A 根据第10题分析可知答案为A项when,引导时间状语从句。
12.D 前文“Joy is a lifelong aspect of our inner selves”可知,快乐是存在于我们内心世界,伴随我们一生的不可或缺的一部分。由此可知,这里应该选择D项separate from“与……分离”,意思是快乐在任何时候都不能与我们分离。A项“对……有吸引力”;B项“对……重要”;C项“与……不同”。
13.A 我们没有必要四处寻找,也不必去想象它只存在于别人体内。A项“存在”;B项“等待”;C项“开始”;D项“斗争,奋斗”。答案为A项。
14.C 根据前文“Joy is a lifelong aspect of our inner selves”可知,快乐是我们自身拥有的东西,所以答案为C项have“有,拥有”。A项“停止,放弃,推出”;B项“满足,遇见”;D项“错过,想念”。
15.A 由第一段最后一句可知此处答案为guidance“指导,指引,向导”。
16.C 在实现自我的路上,当我们不知道该走哪条路和希望有人指引的时候,我们应该求助于我们自己。答案为C项。

20.C 根据第19题解析可知答案为successfully“成功地”。A项“奇怪地”;B项“不同地”;D项“突然地”。

1.B 根据上文内容可知,我们总是要向别人展示他们的立场、陈述和观点是错误的。该句用到的短语为show sb.sth.,其中how引导的从句作show的宾语从句。C项prove虽然在上文有提示,但此处结构不正确,所以排除。答案为B项。
2.A 上文others are wrong及后文提到the person they are correcting,由此推断答案为incorrect“不正确的”。

4.B 根据第3题分析及后面when you corrected them提示答案为B项,correct作为动词意思是“纠正”。

7.C 当然,实际上我们都讨厌被别人纠正错误。上文通过一系列的反问来体现我们事实上并不喜欢被别人指出错误,并纠正。答案为C项。
8.B 根据后面understood by others可知,该句的意思是每个人都希望自己的见解和主张得到别人的尊重和理解,所以答案为B项respect“尊重,尊敬”。A项“钦佩,羡慕”;C项“实现,意识到”;D项“收到,接收”。

10.C 根据第9题分析可知答案为C项。学会倾听的人是最可爱和值得尊敬的。
11.D 那些老是习惯于纠正别人的人常常会遭到别人的厌恶和疏远。in the habit of“养成……习惯”。答案为D项。
12.A 根据第11题解析及上一句中的loved and respected可知答案为A项avoided,意思是“躲避,避开”。B项“惩罚”;C项“留下,离开”;D项“斥责,责骂”。
13.B 根据后文allow their statement...此处应该选择B项allowing,意思是让别人得到正确的快乐。
14.C 由后文“When someone says,‘I really feel it’s important to...’,rather than jumping 15 and saying,‘No,it’s more important to...:’”可知,我们要给予别人成功的快乐,停止一味地纠正别人的错误。答案为C项。
15.A 当别人说:“我真的觉得……很重要”时,不要插话说:“不,……更重要。”此处考查短语jump in“插话,抢话”。答案为A项。
16.C 不要管,就让他们的说法成立。答案为C项stand“站立,保持看法”。
17.D 前文becoming more peaceful and loving有提示,另外,前面less defensive“不再那么防备别人”暗示more后面应该用loving“钟情的,忠诚的”。答案为D项。
18.B 他们对你的感激之情是你想象不到的。答案为B项dreamed,意思是“做梦,梦想,想象”。
19.A 由该段前文the joy of being right可知,让别人正确,不总是纠正别人的错误会给对方带来快乐,所以答案为A项happiness“幸福,快乐”。B项“担心,焦虑”;C项“成功”;D项“痛苦,折磨,苦难”。
20.D 参与别人的快乐和看到别人快乐也会让自己找到快乐,这远比强调自我来得更有意义。所以,从现在起,就让别人是正确的,至少多数情况下是这样。根据句意及上文内容可知答案为D项。
