　　A group of class friends, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon

　　41

　　into complaints about pressure in work and life.

　　49

　　of your problems and pressure. Be assured that the cup itself

　　all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you

　　52

　　the best cups directly. And then you began

　　53

　　each other’s cups.”

　　of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we

　　Nearly thirty years ago, I went rock climbing for the first time with a group in New Mexico. It sounded exciting and

　　31

　　! Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily

　　32

　　where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But

　　33

　　is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel

　　34

　　for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are

　　35

　　to become solution minded.

　　I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb,

　　36

　　about three quarters of the way to the top. It seemed that there was no place to go, and

　　37

　　to put my hands or feet so that I could

　　38

　　upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do

　　39

　　. I began to look again for a(n)

　　40

　　. I then noticed a

　　41

　　sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and

　　42

　　myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my

　　43

　　if I pulled myself up. I can

　　44

　　remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”

　　In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the

　　45

　　that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed,

　　46

　　is it just a setback?

　　Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a

　　47

　　unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n)

　　48

　　to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are

　　49

　　stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people

　　50

　　those kinds of things for what they really are. They know that for them, they are only temporary.

　　B. challenging

　　The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and

　　1

　　 the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber.” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own 

　　2

　　 and help others.

　　“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their 

　　3

　　 is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives

　　4

　　. We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in 

　　5

　　 giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they  

　　6

　　 don’t want to live in their “prison”.

　　“I don’t want to 

　　7

　　 any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自杀) calls are some of the hardest to . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are 

　　9

　　 suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a 

　　10

　　. We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves. And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers 

　　11

　　 we can call back to make sure that they are okay.

　　Although many calls are about relatively 

　　12

　　 problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the 

　　13

　　 person with problems, and has taught me how to 

　　14

　　 with my heart. I have made a

　　nearly 100,000, into pieces

　　hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 

　　. Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 

　　 . For many times of entry-exit

　　on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of

　　试题分析：本文讲述了一个百万富翁在年轻时通过一件事深刻地认识到了诚信的重要性，坚守诚信这一原则，他最终获得了成功。

　　4．考查动词短语。go up意为“上升；被兴建”；set up意为“建立；成立”；take up意为“拿起；开始从事”；pick up意为“恢复，拾起”。由下文starting a company可知是Glen归国成立了一家公司，故选B。

　　5．考查动词。Owes亏欠，感恩；mentions提到；brings带来；honors给...以荣誉。owe…to…意为“把……归功于……”。Glen 把自己的成功归功于那次交了“昂贵学费”的经历。故选A。

　　6．考查语境。根据后面的Before leaving可知是他决定回国。decide to do sth.决定做某事， refuse及object都表示“拒绝”，故选C。

　　7．考查名词。买表要用钱，这里指放学后打工挣的积蓄和奖学金得来的钱，不一定是英镑(pound)。所以要用savings，意为“储蓄，存款”，故选D。

　　8．考查形容词。根据上文Glen要回国，当然要经过机场例行的海关检查。所以选routine，意为：例行的；日常的，常规的。ordinary意为“普通的”；regular意为“有规律的”；common意为“常见的”。故选C。

　　9．考查名词。根据上文的check可知是要把手表摘下来检查的，因此用inspection，意为“检查”。故选A。

　　10．考查代词。这里指代的是上文提到的the tax，所以用it。而one泛指可数名词单数；them 及these都是复数形式。故选A。

　　11．考查形容词。既然是假货(fake)，应该是不值钱的，故选worthless意为“不值钱的”。而干扰项priceless则表示“无价的， 极贵重的”。 useful意为“有用的”； valuable意为“贵重的”。故选D。

　　12．考查形容词。根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen对自己的聪明感到自豪，因为他以为这样就可以逃避税了，所以选proud，意为“自豪的”。故选C。

　　13．考查动词。 spent 花费；paid支付；cost值；took那，取。根据句意表值10万元。故选C。

　　14．考查词组。On hearing his words“一听到他的话”。“on+名词/动名词”表示“一……就”，是固定用法。At后只跟名词。故选B。

　　15．考查形容词。Amazed吃惊的；delighted高兴的；disappointed 失望的；satisfied感到满意的。根据“海关人员当着他的面吧劳力士表砸碎”以及后面“还没明白怎么回事，就被带到了一间办公室”可知Glen很吃惊。故选A。

　　16．考查副词。Strictly严格地；quietly安静地；quickly快速地；curiously好奇地。根据后文Glen因为这件事而上了黑名单可知，海关对他的检查应该是严格地。故选A。

　　17．考查名词。Conditions条件；chances机会；experiments实验；experiences经历。Glen在国外读书并获得学位可知他应该有过很多次的出入境经历。故选D。

　　18．考查动词。Stopped停止；warned警告；urged怂恿；hoped希望。根据该官员仔细检查及后面的according to law可知，该官员语气应该是严厉的，故warn最佳。故选B。

　　19．考查词组。 found out找出；came out出现；sent out发送；set out出发。如果他再次被发现使用假冒伪劣商品，将根据法律受到起诉。Find out 符合warn和according to law的语境。故选A。

　　20．考查动词。Hit打击；charged控告；praised称赞；blamed谴责。既然携带假冒伪劣商品是违法的事情，那么according to law(根据法律)那一定是被起诉（charged）了。故选B。

　　21．考查名词。 Expression表现，表情；idea主意；thought想法；. Impression印象，感想。Make an impression on sb给某人留下了印象，是一个固定短语。故选D。

　　22． 考查名词。Lies谎言；honesty诚实；goods商品；bravery勇气。由于撒谎付出了昂贵的代价，因此Glen体会了诚信的价值，从而导致他取得成功。故选B。:学
