　　答案与解析

　　这是一篇记叙文。一次，作者与妻子约好一起吃饭．但是迟到了半个小时。作者的解释不但没有让妻子息怒，反而让情况变得更加糟糕。后来，当作者与一个朋友谈起此事，朋友的一番话让他恍然大悟，意识到了问题的根源。

　　1．B　根据上文中关键词语the dinner appointment可知，作者与妻子约好七点钟在餐馆见面，但是作者迟到了。start “开始”；agree “同意，商定”；continue “继续”；manage “完成，努力做到”。

　　2．A　根据上文I felt a little uneasy和句中的but一词可知，但是作者感到有些宽慰的是，他有一个很好的借口。relief “宽慰，放松”；surprise“惊讶”；regret“后悔”；sorrow“难过，悲伤”。

　　3．D　run over 有“超过(预期的限额)”的意思，在此处表示会议的时间超出了原来预想的时间，这就是作者迟到的借口。break out“(火灾，战争等)爆发”；close down“倒闭”；fade away“减弱”。

　　4．C　根据第一段内容可知，作者与妻子约定见面的地点是一家餐馆，所以此处选C项。

　　5．A　根据上文妻子所说的话，作者能够判断出妻子生气了。could“能够”；must“必须”；will“将要”；might“也许，可能”。

　　6．D　根据语境可知，看到妻子生气了，作者继续解释迟到是无法避免的事情。movable“可移动的”；comfortable“舒适的”；acceptable“可接受的”；avoidable“可避免的”。

　　7．A　该空的前后两个句子之间是转折关系，所以选用however。作者原本以为自己有一个很冠冕堂皇的理由，然而，他的解释却使情况变得更糟糕。

　　8．C　根据语境可知，作者的借口使情况变得更糟了，事情的发展远远超出他的想象，这简直让他抓狂。由空格后面的as well可知选C项。

　　9．D　根据下文内容可知，几周后，作者向朋友描述了那天的情景。spread“展开”；write“书写”；translate“翻译”；describe“描述”。

　　10．B　根据朋友的一番话可知，朋友觉得作者犯了一个典型的错误。make a mistake“犯错误”。

　　11．A　朋友认为，作者一味困在自己的思维方式当中，没有考虑妻子的感受。be stuck in“被困在，陷入”。

　　12．D　根据上文内容可知，作者不是故意迟到的。intend to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“想要做某事”，符合语境。

　　13．B　根据前面的句子But that's not the point.可知，important与the point相对应。重要的不是作者不想迟到这个事实，而是作者的迟到如何影响了他的妻子。

　　14．A　作者看重的是意图而妻子看重的是结果。while在此处是并列连词，表示对比和转折。

　　15．C　因为当事人就是作者和妻子两个人，所以此处用both 表示两人都感到被对方误解了并非常生气。

　　16．D　根据语境Thinking more allout Ken's words可知作者逐渐意识到夫妻两人出现争执的根本原因是什么。

　　17．B　It's...that matters.是一个常见句型，意思是“重要的是……”。inspire “激励，鼓舞”；matter “要紧，有重大影响”；improve “提高”；challenge “挑战”。

　　18．A　作者觉得当时自己应该首先表达自己的迟到行为如何影响了妻子，而不是一味给自己辩解。根据第14空之前的how your lateness affected Eleanor可知此空填how。

　　19．D　作者仍然在反省，自己当时应该保留关于自己并不想迟到的意图的讨论，以后再提迟到的意图这件事，或者干脆不提。compare“比较”；report “报道”；finish “完成”；save “保留”。

　　20．C　根据语境可知，后来，作者与妻子进行了沟通和交流，也真正理解了自己迟到这一后果对妻子的影响。show “展示”；satisfy “使满意”；understand “理解”；destroy “破坏”。

　　本文是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫在地里干活时，无意中发现了一只松鸡。令人称奇的是，这只松鸡根本不怕人，逐渐与作者一家成了好朋友。周围的人们，包括猎人们，都很喜欢她。

　　1．D　根据下文“In fact，they're hard to spot”可知，这种松鸡平时很难看到，与人主动接触更是罕见。

　　2．B　上下文之间是因果关系，所以用because连接。因为松鸡听到有人靠近就会飞走，所以人们很难看到它们。

　　3．A　根据倒数第二段第一句的“As spring went and summer came”可知，这只松鸡是在春天进入我们生活中的。

　　4．C　作者的丈夫正在地里干活，这时他注意到一只松鸡在地边走来走去。“notice＋sb./sth.＋doing”表示“注意到某人或某物正在做某事”。

　　5．D　上文提到，松鸡通常听到有人靠近就会飞走，但令人惊讶的是，这只松鸡一点儿也不怕人。naturally“自然地”；certainly“当然；的确”；normally “正常地”；surprisingly“令人惊讶地”。

　　6．B　根据第四段第一句中的“Mildred came within a．..watch”可知，这只松鸡似乎对作者的丈夫干的工作很好奇。be curious about“对……感到好奇”。

　　7．C　这只松鸡很愿意与人接触，因此看起来很友好。根据倒数第二段最后一句也能得出答案。其他形容词不符合语境。shy“害羞的”；awkward “尴尬的”；elegant“优雅的”。

　　8．C　作者一家人越来越喜欢这只松鸡，并且给她取了一个名字。grow/be fond of “喜爱”。

　　9．D　根据语境可知，作者的丈夫假装没有看到这只松鸡，继续在地里干活，想看看接下来这只松鸡会做什么。

　　10．A　根据下文描述的松鸡的动作可知，这只松鸡很不喜欢被别人忽视，于是主动上前进攻作者的丈夫。

　　11．B　松鸡跑上前，用嘴啄汤姆的手，然后向后退，想看看汤姆会怎么做。back off“后退”。

　　12．A　上文描述的松鸡的行为就好像是与汤姆做的一种游戏。后来，松鸡厌倦了这种游戏，然后走开了。

　　13．B　根据下文内容可知，这只松鸡出来的次数越来越频繁，与汤姆的关系越来越亲近。

　　14．A　事情发展的结果越来越有趣，最后，这只松鸡居然跳到汤姆的腿上玩耍。

　　15．C　作者把松鸡跳到丈夫腿上玩耍的镜头拍摄下来，于是有了一张合影。

　　16．A　很快，这只松鸡不但感到与作者一家人相处很轻松，而且与任何从她旁边经过的人都相处得很自在。

　　17．B　狩猎季节来到了，作者一家在自家车道的尽头竖了一个牌子，请求猎人们不要射杀这只松鸡。

　　18．C　因为上文提到hunting season opened，显然此处是针对猎人们竖立的牌子。

　　19．D　根据上下文内容可知，作者的父亲也警告人们不要射杀这只松鸡。

　　20．A　事实上，作者一家的担心是多余的，猎人们经常会停下来和这只松鸡一起拍照，因为他们从来没有看到像这只松鸡一样有趣的动物。

　　The park was __6__， so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We __7__ climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to __8__ our camp.

　　Having survived that night, we were __9__ that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our __10__ and gave us a beautiful campsite.

　　That evening, __11__， we learned about the canyon __12__. They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay __13__ in the dark until the winds died away.

Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful __17__. For a time after our business __18__ I thought I might lose my family as well.

　　Living in the tiny __19__ with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself __20__ for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!

　　答案与解析

　　乔和西蒙是首批登上安第斯山脉Siula Grande 峰的人，但在下山时，由于气候条件的变化，乔失足摔下，虽然摔断了一条腿，但三天后西蒙听到乔的声音出现在离他们帐篷几米远的地方。

　　1．C　根据空后的“but on their way back...”可推知他们成功登顶，故选successfully。

　　2．A　由空后的“Joe fell and broke his leg.”可推知当时的气候条件一定很糟糕，故选difficult。

　　3．D　上句提到了乔失足摔下，故此处用continued 表示“他们两个都知道，如果西蒙独自继续下去的话”。

　　4．B　此处用safely 表示“他大概能够安全地返回”。

　　5．D　fortune “运气，财富”；time “时间”；health “健康”；life “生命”。此处用life 表示“但是西蒙决定拿自己的生命去冒险”。

　　6．C　此处用went 表示“当他们往山下去的时候，天气变得更加糟糕。”

　　7．D　由上句中的“the weahter got worse”可知，另外的麻烦出现了，故选trouble。

　　8．A　由于上句提到了“They couldn't see or hear each other”，所以此处应选择by mistake，表示“他错误地把他的朋友降到了峭壁的边缘”。

　　9．D　由上句的“lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)”可知，对乔来说，爬回来或者西蒙把他拽回来是不可能的，故选D项。

　　10．B　由于乔在峭壁的边缘，所以他的体重把西蒙也慢慢地拉向了峭壁。故选B项。

　　11．A　由“after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold”可知，此处用Finally 表示“最终……”。

　　12．C　此处用make a decision 表示“西蒙不得不下决心，割断绳子”。

　　13．B　既然西蒙把绳子割断了，所以乔掉进了下面的一个巨大的冰缝里。故选fell。

　　14．A　由上句的“He couldn't walk”以及空前的but 可知此处用managed 表示“他设法从冰缝中爬了出去”。

　　15．C　由第一段内容可知，此处应选择move 表示“朝他们的营地移动”。

　　16．B　表示“他们的营地在接近10千米远的地方”要用away。

　　答案与解析

　　本文讲的是作者在商店购物时，遇到了无礼店员而心生不快。于是作者向店方总部投诉，希望该店员被解雇。但是随着时间的推移，作者平息了心中的怨恨，在店方总部让她描述店员体貌特征以便查处的时候，她放弃了继续追究。

　　1．B　根据语境以及上文可知此处表示，与一元超市的油墨相比，电脑商店的油墨是更好的选择(choice)。reduction 意为“减少，下降”；introduction 意为“介绍，引进”；price 意为“价格”。

　　2．A　根据第三段第二句中I'm returning it，... 可知应选A项，change sth. for sth. 意为“把……更换成……”。句意为：所以我回到一元超市去将油墨换成(change)其他商品。

　　3．B　根据上下文和常识可知此处用nobody。

　　4．D　bargain 意为“讨价还价”；store 意为“存诸”；load 意为“装载”；shop 意为“购物”。此处shop 为动词，符合句意。

　　5．C　be midway through 意为在“在……中途”，为固定短语。此处指“购物中途”。

　　6．A　句意为：不允许在这个超市里随身携带包。carry 意为“随身携带”；show 意为“展示”；move 意为“移动；搬家”；push 意为“推；增加”。根据句意可知A项正确。

　　7．B　identity 意为“身份”；contents 意为“内容；目录”；belongings 意为“财产，所属物”；ink 意为“油墨”。根据语境可知此处指袋里的东西，故contents 正确。

　　8．B　depressed 意为“沮丧的，萧条的”；shocked 意为“震惊的，惊讶的”；amused 意为“愉快的”；stressed 意为“紧张的，有压力的”。上一段中第一句．..when a clerk suddenly stopped me. 可知我对这种行为感到很震惊。故选B项。

　　9．C　show sth. to sb. 意为“将某物展示给某人看”，为固定短语，符合语境。

　　10．C　根据常识可知进超市购物时通常先要在入口处将自己的东西存起来或者交给店员。exit 意为“出口”；admission 意为“承认；准许进入”；entry 意为“进入，入口”；departure 意为“离开，出发”。

　　11．B　句意为：我按照要求做了，环顾四周，好像每个人都在嘲笑我，感到非常尴尬。even though 意为“尽管，即使”；as if 意为“好像，似乎”；so that 意为“为了，以便”；in case 意为“以防万一”。根据语境可知B项正确。

　　12．C　句意为：或许以后你要学会遵守商店规定。line 意为“队列”；border 意为“边界”；regulation 意为“规章，制度”；permission 意为“许可，允许”。根据语境可知C项正确。

　　13．A　根据文章可知，这个店员对我的言行举止像对待罪犯(criminal)一样。blue­collar 意为“蓝领，体力劳动者”；beggar 意为“乞丐”；colleague 意为“同事”。

　　14．D　从下句中的回答Ursula 以及后来商店总部找不到该店员来判断，此处是问姓名，而非工号，故name 正确。number 意为“号码”；career 意为“事业”；explanation 意为“解释”。

　　15．B　从This employee is about to become unemployed... 一句判断，“我”到家后依然愤怒，所以就把心里的想法脱口说了出来。calm down 意为“冷静”；think aloud 意为“自言自语”；find out 意为“发现”；get through 意为“顺利度过”。根据语境可知B项正确。

　　16．A　ring 意为“打电话”；visit 意为“拜访”；question 意为“提问，质问”；blame 意为“指责”。根据后面的．..ring you back.可知是打电话。

　　17．C　作者所遇到的这名店员对待作者很粗鲁，把作者当做犯人一样，很没有礼貌，故可知，商店原本是要求店员有礼貌(polite)。patient 意为“有耐心的”；clever 意为“聪明的”；hardworking 意为“勤奋的”。

　　18．C　句意为：你能描述(describe)其体貌特征以便我们找出她是谁吗？recognize 意为“认出，识别”；inform 意为“通知”；forgive 意为“原谅”。

　　19．D　句意为：我保证，我们不会容忍这种粗鲁的行为，也不会容忍对顾客撒谎。lie to sb. 意为“对某人撒谎”，符合语境。

　　20．A　根据语境及常识可知，店员丢掉的应是“工作”，故选A项。

　　答案与解析

　　本文记叙了作者与女儿乘飞机去佛罗里达的经历。在飞机上，“我”与女儿的座位隔着一条过道，与其他乘客商量换座位未果。这时“我”看到另外一家人也面临着不能坐在一起的问题，但是一些孩子给他们提供了方便。最后有人也与“我们”换了座位，使得旅行非常愉快。

　　1．B　自己五个月没有见到丈夫，女儿很久没有见到爸爸，自然对这次旅行感到兴奋(excited)。

　　2．D　女儿五个月没有见到爸爸了，所以非常想念(miss)爸爸。love 意为“热爱”；consider 意为“考虑，认为”；imagine 意为“想象”。

　　3．A　根据下文的换座位事件和此处的副词totally 判断，飞机满员，即没有空座位；根据常识，不能用“拥挤的(crowded)”代替。

　　4．B　根据此空前的．..we did not get our boarding passes...可知“我们”直到到登机口后才取得了飞机的登机卡，故B项正确。

　　5．C　根据上句的．..I could not get seats together... 判断，作者和女儿被过道分隔开(separated)了。

　　6．D　根据上下文的语意判断，...we could be together.是目的，所以用so that, 意为“以便”。in case 意为“以防”；even if 意为“即使”；as if 意为“似乎，好像”。

　　7．B　根据下文的．..saying they thought they should stay in their assigned seats. 判断，他们拒绝(refuse)了。

　　8．A　一个妈妈带了三个孩子，又能不能坐在一起，所以很慌乱。故be in a panic 意为“惊恐，惊慌”，符合题意。

　　9．C　however 意为“然而”；otherwise 意为“否则，不然”；therefore 意为“因此”；instead 意为“代替，反而”。由于登机卡出了错，因此一家人被分开了，故C项正确。

　　10．D　作者请求换座位，别人拒绝了，这位女士请求换座位，别人也拒绝了。根据语境可知此处also 正确。

　　11．A　be concerned about 意为“关心，挂念”；be curious about 意为“对……好奇”；be particular about 意为“对……挑剔”；be content about 意为“对……感到满足”。由于自己的孩子和陌生人坐在一起，所以妈妈很挂念，故A项正确。

　　12．B　根据She was in tears... 判断，没有人帮她。offer to do sth. 意为“主动提出做某事”，符合语境。provide 和supply 均为及物动词，后接sb. 或 sth. 一般不接to do sth.。

　　13．C　on board 意为“在飞机上；在船上；在飞船上”，为固定短语。

　　14．D　organize 意为“组织”；persuade 意为“劝说”；divide 意为“分开”；rearrange 意为“重新排列”。结合空后的．..so that adequate space was ________ for the family. 可知他花了五分钟的时间重新安排座位，故D项正确。

　　15．B　convenient 意为“方便的，便利的”；available 意为“可用的，可得到的”；probable 意为“很可能的，可信的”；comfortable 意为“舒服的”。此处指给她们腾出了足够的可以坐的地方，故B项正确。

　　16．D　permission 意为“允许，许可”；excuse 意为“借口”；apology 意为“道歉”；complaint 意为“抱怨”。上文曾谈到同一排的乘客不愿意换座位，而这些孩子们不仅同意换座位，而且还没有怨言，故D项正确。

　　17．A　根据此空后的．..not being next to me. 可知，想到不能挨着“我”坐，她有些紧张。at the thought of 意为“一想到……”，为固定短语，符合语境。

　　18．D　immediately 意为“立刻，马上”；puzzlingly 意为“迷惑地”；suddenly 意为“突然”；amazingly 意为“惊奇”。请求跟别人换座，别人不换，而这时有人主动和作者换座，这是作者没有料到的，所以作者感到惊奇。故D项正确。

　　19．B　turn back 意为“(使)折回，(使)掉转头；重新开始做……”；turn around 意为“转身”；turn out 意为“结果是，证明是”；turn away 意为“走开，避开”。turn around to me 意为“转向我”，符合语境。

　　20．D　stick to 意为“坚持”；keep to 意为“遵守”；wave to 意为“向……挥手”；refer to 意为“提到，涉及，指代”。那个人坐在童子军领队旁边，所以此处表示，指的是他们两个人，故D项正确。

　　答案与解析

　　一次小小的善意的鼓励对于一个孤独内向的孩子来说却有着不同寻常的影响，这点亮了他内心积极向上的明灯。初为人师的一次经历，给作者的职业生涯留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。

　　1．D　由本句“I gave an honest account of the students' work (我如实讲述了学生们的在校表现)”可知，“我”是一名新老师，故选D项。

　　2．C　由本句“他是一个聪明的学生”和“他却读不出他自己书写的内容”可知前后两句在意思上存在转折关系，故选C项。

　　3．B　由本段最后两句可知，他以近似成人的理解力讨论一些成人话题，显然他在校的学业表现绝没有反映出他的能力，故选B项。

　　4．C　由本句和下句可知，西蒙的母亲进门就亲吻了“我”的面颊并说“我是来感谢你的”。这惊得“我”说不出话来，说明“我”对这一举动完全没有思想准备，故选C项。

　　5．A　because of“因为”；in spite of“尽管”；apart from “除……之外”；as for“至于，关于”。句意：因为我，西蒙已变成另外一个人。前后是因果关系，故选A项。

　　6．A　由下文可知，西蒙开始交朋友，并且十二年来第一次花了一下午的时间待在朋友家中，当然他对关心影响他的老师是深深热爱的，故选A项。envy“嫉妒”；please“使高兴”；criticize“批评”。

　　7．C　graclually“逐渐地”；constantly“连续不断地”；recently“最近”；obviously“明显地”。“因为他十二年来第一次在朋友家中度过了一个下午”这显然是一次具体的行为，因此与表示具体的时间状语连用，故选C项。

　　8.A　由上文内容可知，西蒙的妈妈一直在感谢作者，故此处应是积极的词汇，可排除B、C两项。由西蒙的一系列变化可知这里是指作者培养西蒙建立自尊心。A项“自尊心”；B项“缺少自信”；C项“自怜”；D项“自卫”。故选A项。

　　9．C　“我”呆呆地坐在那儿，对刚才发生的事情显然感到迷惑和怀疑，故选C项。wonder“怀疑，对……感到惊讶”。

　　10．B　“我”甚至都没有意识到，“我”是如何对那名男孩产生改变一生的影响的。even表示惊讶的心情。

　　11．B　“我”最终记起了几个月前的一天，当时有些学生在同学们面前做报告。故选B项。remember “想起，记起”。

　　12．D　在课堂上显然是在做报告，giving reports“做报告”。

　　13．A　quietly“轻声地，静静地”；repeatedly“反复地”；quickly“迅速地”；firmly“坚定地”。由下文的“raise her voice”可知她说话声音很低，故选A项。

　　14．C　Jeanne说话声音很低，为了鼓励她声音高一点“我”曾说过：“声音大点，西蒙可是这方面的专家，他是唯一一个你必须说服的人，(因为)他在教室后排坐着，他可能听不清你的话。”故选C项。

　　15．D　由17空后的“to be the last kid in the last row”可知他坐在教室最后一排，故选D项。

　　16．B　由本句中的“became happy”可知为smile。

　　17．D　那全是因为他碰巧是坐在最后一排的最后一个学生。intend to“想要，打算”；pretend to“假装”；refuse to“拒绝”；happen to“碰巧，恰巧”。故选D项。

　　18．B　那天最需要表扬的男孩正是坐在最后那个座位上的人。也正是“我”的这次偶然表扬才使得西蒙发生了上述翻天覆地的变化。

　　19．C　这次经历是在作者多年的教学生涯中最有价值的一课。enjoyable“令人愉快的”只说明了心情上的愉悦，无法表达出作者的收获和她内心的深刻反思。

　　20．A　这次经历发生在作者初为人师之时，所以作者非常感激它来得那么早那么有积极意义，最后点出文章的主旨：小小善举大有意义。

　　I used to be a very self­centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people __1__ I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a __2__ person.

　　I think my __3__ started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my __4__ and be left alone.

　　答案与解析

　　本文为夹叙夹议文。作者曾经是一个以自我为中心的人，但后面的转变却让其真正体会到了什么是真正的快乐，那就是对别人的关心与帮助。

　　1．B　根据首句“...but...”可知，作者已经开始先考虑别人，后考虑自己，故选择B项。

　　2．C　根据下文提到的作者在上大学期间处事的变化，慢慢学会了关心别人，结交朋友，由此照应此处应为different “不同的”。同时与第一句中的“I have really changed.”相呼应。

　　3．D　根据下文提到的作者从最初到校的独来独往，到后来结交朋友，都说明了自己的变化，故用change。

　　4．C　根据下句的“I thought I was smarter than everyone else...”可以看出，作者当时很自负，因此上大学最初就想获得学位，喜欢独处。因此degree “学位”符合语境。balance 平衡；homework 作业；interest “兴趣”均不合语境。

　　5．A　根据前文可知，作者当时认为自己就是最聪明的，因此就瞧不起其他人，在班里也几乎不与他人沟通交流。故talk “交谈”符合语境。

　　6．B　根据下文“...everyone but me had made friends...”可知，在学期末，作者却真正感到了孤单。故此处用lonely 孤独的，孤单的；careful 小心的；curious 好奇的，古怪的；guilty 有罪的，均不合语境。

　　7．C　意识到这种情况后，作者开始有了转变，学着开始与人交流，学着关心他人，故此处表示作者开始做的尝试。argument 争论，争辩；game 游戏；experiment 试验，尝试；defence 防御。根据语境可知，C项正确。

　　8．B　作者开始尝试关心别人，如果别人有难，会主动相助。dare 敢于；offer 主动提出；hesitate 犹豫；happen 碰巧，根据语境，B项正确。

　　9．D　此处为一总结性语句，对上述所做的改变进行总结。这是很大的一步，学年结束时，作者已经交了几个朋友。dream 梦想；problem 问题，难题；duty 责任，职责；step 步伐，步，跨步，步骤；根据句意D项正确。

　　10．C　根据前面的连词and 可知，后面的为并列句，故排除B项和D项，又根据句意“他们当中两个人直到今天仍然还是我最好的朋友”。故选用人称代词them。

　　11．A　导致作者态度转变的更大的一个原因是作者在养老院作兼职时候的一段经历。attitude 态度；hobby 业余爱好；hope 希望；luck 运气，根据语境，只有A项正确。

　　12．A　“一位患阿尔茨海默病的老太太成了我的朋友”。friend 朋友；partner 合伙人，伙伴；guide 向导，导游；guest 客人。根据语境可知，A项正确。

　　13．B　根据上下文可知，这位老人错把作者当作自己的女儿，自然是每次见到她，都会很高兴，因此happy “快乐的，高兴的”符合语境。

　　14．C　根据语境可知，这位老太太的女儿从来没有来看过她，因此作者就代替了她，时常来看这位老人。故选用visited 访问，探望。

　　15．D　这位老太太让作者明白了让别人快乐也会给自己带来快乐的道理。explain 解释，说明；guess 猜想；declare 声称，宣布；see 看见，明白，理解，根据语境选择D项。

　　16．B　作者与这位老人感情深厚，老人去世，自然会伤心。homeless 无家可归的；heartbroken 伤心的；bad­tempered 脾气不好的；hopeless 绝望的，无助的，根据语境可知，B项正确。

　　17．C　有了这些经历作者深刻体会到自己远比以前好多了，因为她获得了很多，明白了很多道理，不是以前那个自私的人了。故用better 符合语境。

　　18．A　这些经历也是一笔宝贵的财富，作者必将永记在心。故此处选用(not)forget(不会)“忘记”符合语境。

　　19．D　这些经历教会了作者去关爱他人而不是光想着自己。force 强迫； prefer 更喜欢； order 命令；teach 教，根据语境可知D项正确。

　　20．B　此处首尾呼应，根据第一段最后提到的“I am happy”可知，作者对自己的这种转变深感幸福，自然是喜欢现在的自己。miss 想念，错过；like 喜欢；wonder 纳闷；expect 盼望，预料，根据语境只有B项最合适。

　　My nephew's 10­year­old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to __1__ inside and joined him in a game. After__2__for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I__3__my favorite recliner (躺椅) to let my neck muscles relax. He had slipped out of the room and I was catching a few enjoyable__4__of peace and quiet.

　　答案与解析

　　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过小孩放风筝的故事告诉我们，在我们想完成一项任务时，不管时机是否成熟，我们首先要去努力，只有当努力不成功的时候我们才要等待，等待能让“风筝”飞起来的“风”的出现。

　　1．B　从后面的“inside...game”可以判断，应选B项，作者说服他待在室内。

　　2．A　根据前面的“joined him in a game”判断，应选A项，表示作者和他“玩”了一个小时。

　　3．C　由前面的“relax”可知，此处指作者躺在躺椅上，因此选C项。

　　4．A　此处用 moments 表示作者享受片刻的宁静。

　　5．B　前面说这个孩子跑出去了，因此选B项。他跑进来，来到作者的躺椅前。

　　6．D　他找到了一个风筝并且建议作者和他一起出去“放”风筝，因此选D项。

　　7．B　下文作者说“The kite won't fly”，由此推断作者发现外面的天气不适合放风筝，因为没有风，因此选B，表示“无风的”。

　　8．B　小孩的请求被作者拒绝了，因此他的眼神里透露出“失望”。

　　9．D　联系这里的 wind 和下文提到的无法放风筝可知，应选D项。作者说这个时候外面没有风，故选blowing。

　　10．C　由下文内容可知，他自己跑出去放风筝了，因此选C项，表明这个小孩很“坚决”。

　　11．C　这里用 as 引导时间状语从句，表示伴随。他边说边跑向了后门。

　　12．C　这里描述小孩放风筝的情景，他跑在前面，“拉”着风筝线。

　　13．D　由语境可知，他边跑边不断地回头，希望看到风筝飞起来。故选 hopefully。

　　14．A　这里用 go 表示“进展”。How did it go？表示“风筝飞起来了吗？”

　　15．B　风筝最终还是没有飞起来，但孩子不愿意承认自己失败了，因此选B，表示“失败”。

　　16．A　因为没有风，风筝没有飞起来，孩子自言自语地说得等有风的时候再去放风筝，因此选A项。

　　17．A　这里作者展开议论，作者仿佛听到了自己内心的声音，因此选A项。

　　18．B　孩子一开始不是等待风的出现，而是自己先去试一试，因此选B项，表示“而不是等待风的出现”。

　　19．D　我们通常想靠自己的努力去“完成”自己想做的事。accomplish “完成”，符合语境。

　　20．C　结合文章的主题和孩子的举动判断，应选C项。在拼尽全力且耗尽了我们所有的力气之后，我们才开始等待风的出现。

　　答案与解析

　　这是一篇说明文。人们总是对经常做的事情感到厌倦，小孩子对待玩具如此，成年人对待工作和自己所做的事情也不例外。

　　1.A　第一句所提到的人们对经常做的事情会感到厌倦，这是一种法则，而不是一种习惯、方式或力量。principle 意为“法则，原则”；habit意为“习惯”；way意为“方法”；power 意为“力量”。

　　2.D　由下文提到的children，young adults，adults以及people retire可知，此处用ages表示“各个年龄段的人”。

　　3.C　由空后的with their new toys可知此处用playing表示“玩他们的新玩具”。

　　4.B　由下文“玩具被放在地下室”可知此处句意为“但是他们的兴趣很快就消失了”，故用interest。

　　5.A　此处的玩具指的是上一句中提到的their new toys，故用same表示“他们那些相同的玩具被放在了地下室”。

　　6.D　由空后的and unfinished models 可推知此处应选择half­filled(装满一半的)与unfinished相呼应。

　　7.B　既然这些集邮只完成一半、模型没有完成，说明他们的这些兴趣爱好已经成为过去，故用passing表示“过去的兴趣爱好”。

　　8.C　由句意“当父母把一只宠物带回家时，他们的孩子会高兴地为它洗澡、梳理毛发”可知答案为gladly。

　　9.B　由空后的of caring for the animal可知，此处用burden表示“照顾宠物的担子落到了父母的肩上”。

　　10.D　由空后的转折词but可推知，当青少年刚进入中学时，是非常激动的，故用excitement。

　　11.A　此处用graduation表示“但是不久就盼着毕业了”。

　　12.C　由空后的the long drives to work 可知，此处讲述的是成年人，故选C项。

　　13.B　由空前的complain和空后的drove for hours at a time可知此次应用eagerly表示“渴望一次开车几个小时”。

　　14.B　require意为“需要”；obtain意为“获得”；notice意为“注意到”；discover意为“发现”。此处用obtained表示“当他们最初获得驾照的时候”。

　　15.D　由空前的时间状语Before people retire可知，此处应用plan表示“在人们退休前应先做计划”。

　　16.A　既然是打算退休后做的事情，当然是很棒的事情。故用great。

　　17.A　由空后的while working可知，此处用time表示“当他们上班的时候没有时间做的事情”。

　　18.D　由空后的after可知此处用soon，表示“在退休后不久”。词组soon after意为“……后不久”。

　　19.C　由该句开头的retirement可知，此处用left表示“他们离开的工作”。

　　20.B　由空前的like the child in January可知，此次应选择toys与the child相呼应。

　　答案与解析

　　本文是说明文。语言学习不是一朝一夕的事情，但只要用对方法，用心学习，用足时间，一定能成功。

　　1．C　如果你想学一门新语言，第一件事就是考虑为什么要学。从本句的your job or your studies 可知此处是问你学一门外语是因为某种现实的需要(诸如求职或求学)吗？technical “技术的”；political “政治的”；practical “现实的，实用的”；physical “身体的”。

　　2．D　或许你对不同国家的文学、电影或音乐感兴趣。由perhaps 可知，本句承接上句，给出了学新语言的另一原因，两句为并列关系，故用or。

　　3．A　根据语境可知，所填词语与接下来的“films or music”并列，被“of a different country”修饰，故用literature。transport “运输”；agriculture “农业”；medicine “医药”。

　　4．B　have a knowledge of “通晓，掌握”。view “视野”；form “形式，表格”；database “数据库”。

　　5．C　大多数人用各种各样的方法学得很好。从后面的traditional classes 可知应是学习的方法。painting “绘画”；regulation “规则”；method “方法”；computer “计算机”。

　　6．D　它们(传统的课堂)“提供”了一种环境。故选D项。

　　7．C　你可以在一个精通该语言的人的指导下不断练习。under the guidance of “在……的指导下”，是固定搭配。control “控制”；command “命令”；pressure “压力”。

　　8．A　接下来讨论的是学习外语需要大量的时间，由此可知此处是说我们都生活得很忙碌。故选A项。

　　9．B　学语言要花费时间。从后面的long，以及take years 可知选time。courage“勇气”；time“时间”；energy“精力，能量”；place“地方”。

　　10．C　根据本句的regularly “有规律地”可知选C项。如果定期学习外语，成功的机会更大些，所以要努力养成习惯。theory “理论”；business “生意”；routine “惯例”；project“项目”。

　　11．B　get by “勉强通过”。相对于前面的years，此空表示少的时间，故选B项。

　　12．A　根据接下来的“children”和“adults”可知，本段讨论的是学习外语与年龄之间的关系，故选A项。许多人开始学习外语，但很快就放弃了。他们会说“我年龄大了”。

　　13．B　孩子们学习语言比成年人更快。closely “密切地”；quickly “快地”；privately “私人地”；quietly “安静地”。

　　14．A　本段讨论的是学习外语与“年龄”之间的关系。age “年龄”；speed “速度”；distance “距离”；school “学校”。

　　15．A　我也听说有些人担心他们犯错误。worry “担心”；hesitate “犹豫”；think “思考”；quarrel “争吵”。

　　16．D　本文讨论的是学习外语的事情，故选D项。

　　17．B　此处为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”结构。放松心态，自嘲自己的错误，这样你再次犯错的可能性就会大大降低。故选B项。

　　18．D　本句为本段的首句，起着承上启下的作用，是对上文的总结。上文讨论的是学习外语的众多困难，然后通过“But with some work and devotion, you'll make progress.”话锋一转，讨论学习外语的收获。故选D项。

　　19．B　此处讨论的是学习外语的收获，你用他们的语言说上几句，外国人的积极反应就会让你“惊喜”，故选B项。

　　20．A　参见上题解析。

　　答案与解析

　　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“土豪”一词的来源。“土豪”原指在旧社会横行霸道的地主和乡绅，后被网友广泛用来指那些有钱的人。

　　1．B　从空后的“from the new building of People's Daily...and the new gold­colored iPhone”可知，此处指的是物，故用everything。

　　2．C　根据语境并结合后面的“full of millionaires”可知，此处指豪华的“名人”婚礼。

　　3．A　根据常识可知，汉语中“土”的本意是“土地”，因此选A项。

　　4．D　说某人是土豪即暗示他们有贫农背景。imply“暗示”，符合语境。

　　5．A　根据上下文并结合常识可知，与土地打交道的是农民，因此用 peasant “农民”。

　　6．D　根据 but 的转折语气同时结合文中对土豪的介绍可知，此处指土豪的行为举止与其富有程度不配，因此选D项。

　　7．C　根据语境可知，此处指土豪一词实际上并不是新词，所以用 actually “事实上，实际上”。

　　8．B　as far as＋时间点表示“远至……”，符合语境。

　　9．A　用it代指上文提到的“tuhao”。

　　10．C　这些地主阶级和乡绅欺压比他们社会地位低的百姓，所以用 beneath，表示“在……以下”。

　　11．C　本段是对“土豪”一词再次走红的介绍，这里用 took off 表示 “(观念等)突然流行”，符合语境。

　　12．B　由本段后面的内容可推断，故事内容不合逻辑，带有调侃之意，故这是流传的“笑话”。选B项。

　　13．A　此处 but 表示“转折”，故用 unhappy，表示这个富人虽有钱但并不开心。

　　14.A　富人想过更简单的生活，“期望”从修行的僧侣那儿得到答案。故选A项。

　　15．D　由后文可知，禅师回答的不是这个富人所期望的，因此用instead “反而”。

　　16．A　此处指中国网民在语言使用上极富创造性，他们常常对语言进行创造和再创造，以此来回避审查。应选A项。

　　17．C　结合语境并根据“inventing”可知，应用 constantly “始终，一直”，表示一直都在进行的动作。

　　18．B　此处指就土豪这个例子来说。case “实例”，符合语境。

　　19．C　fact 后跟同位语从句，解释说明 fact 的具体内容，故用 that 引导。

　　20．D　此处 “but”表示转折，故选D项。很多人嘲讽富人，但暗地里却在妒忌。

　　答案与解析

　　本文是说明文，主要讲述了学习的真正意义。学习的真正意义在于解决问题，而不仅仅是硬背一些事实。

　　1．B　根据上文中的“Learning is a natural thing”可知，学习是一件自然的事情，我们从一出生学习就开始了。the minute 引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就”。

　　2．D　根据后文“and feed ourselves”可知，应选择D项。dress oneself 表示“给某人穿衣服”。

　　3．C　我们通过仿效来学习交谈、穿衣、吃饭和其他的一些技巧。follow “仿效”。

　　4．A　根据第4空后的“to learn and how to learn”可知，老师应该是告诉我们学什么(what)、如何学。

　　5．B　根据第5空前的“Many teachers teach us, and we pass many tests and exams”及第三段的第一句“Are we really educated.”可知，此时人们会说我们接受了教育，应选择B项。

　　6．D　第6空前的一句提出了疑问，因此此处应表示“让我们思考一下学习的真正意义”。pick up “拾起，接(某人)”；turn away “把某人拒之门外”；set out “出发，动身”；think about “想想，考虑”。

　　7．A　知道事实并不意味着能够解决问题。mean doing sth. “意味着做某事”；suggest doing sth. “建议做某事”。

　　8．C　根据前文“Knowing facts doesn't __7__ being able to solve problems. Solving problems requires creativity, not just a good __8__”可知，知道事实并不意味着能够解决问题。解决问题需要创造力，不仅仅是好的记忆力，因此选择C项。

　　9．B　根据上文中的“Knowing facts doesn't __7__ being able to solve problems”可知，一些不知道大量事实的人可能也擅长解决问题。故选B项。

　　10．C　此处以Henry Ford 为例来说明前一段中的“Some people who don't know many __9__ can also be good at solving problems”，因此选择C项。

　　11．B　根据下文中的“he solved the problem. He __12__ of the assembly line”可知，Henry 利用装配线解决了这个问题，说明他的公司面临的问题是不能快速生产汽车。故选B项。

　　12．D　Henry 想到了用装配线来解决问题。think of “想到”。

　　13．C　今天，这个答案似乎很简单。ordinary “普通的”；strange “奇怪的”；simple “简单的”；special “特别的”。

　　14．A　根据“Yet” 的提示可知，前后表示转折。今天，这个答案似乎很简单。然而许多大学毕业生从未(never)解决过任何问题，Henry 却做到了。

　　16．B　一个好的老师会向学生们展示如何找到答案。know “知道”；show “展示”；order “命令”；encourage “鼓励”。故选B项。

　　17．A　根据上文中的“He brings us to the stream of knowledge”可知，作者将知识比作溪流，所以此处表示“当我们口渴的时候，我们知道去哪里”。故选A项。

　　答案与解析

　　本文是一篇议论文。数码科技使得人们被联系在一起，因此想要独处已经变得非常困难。对于不同的人来说，数码科技的发展给人们带来了好处，也带来了不利。不同年代的人对这种技术的发展也有不同的态度。但是不管人们的观点如何，在当今社会，如果没有科技日新月异的发展，一切都很难想象。

　　1．C　update“更新”；receive“收到”；share“分享，分担，共有，共同使用”；collect“搜集，收集”。根据前面的“数码科技”“电子邮件”“社交网络”“网上电子游戏”这些词汇判断，此处应选C项，说明“信息共享”。

　　2．C　though“尽管，虽然”，引导让步状语从句；until“直到”，引导时间状语从句；once“一旦”，引导时间状语从句，同时含有条件意味；before“在……之前”，引导时间状语从句。根据上下文分析，此处前后句为条件关系，所以选C项。句意：一旦放弃了独处，就很难发现了。

　　3．B　respect“尊重，遵守，涉及”；shape“使成形，塑造，形成”；ignore“忽视，不理会”；preserve“保护，保存”。根据前面所述，在数字科技时代，信息共享，独处的观念几乎不存在了，从这方面来说，新的科技对我们的文化有着很大的影响，所以选B项，表示“塑造着我们的文化”。

　　4．C　根据“The desire to be connected...”可知，既然希望联系在一起，那么独处就不复存在了，bring...to an and意为“结束……，终结……”。

　　5．D　sensitive“敏感的，灵敏的”；intelligent“聪明的，明智的”；considerate“体贴的，考虑周到的”；reachable“可达到的，可达成的”。根据上下文判断，此处应选D项，表示在网络和联系的世界，人们很容易被找到。

　　6．A　根据空前“一个人被联系起来”和空后“不愿意”判断，应选A项引导让步状语从句，表示“即使他们不情愿”。even if“即使”；only if“只有”；as if“好像”；if only“要是……就好了”。

　　7．B　根据第四段第二句话的computers和常识判断，此处应选B项，表示不但可以在计算机上而且可以在手机上交谈、发信息、发邮件、聊天和写博客。

　　8．D　根据后面的“...accustomed to it...”可知发达国家的人们已经习惯了数字科技，所以对数字科技存在着依赖，故选用dependent。

　　9．B　根据语境判断此处应选B项，此处句意为“不使用数字科技会使人们成为门外汉或局外人”，根据句意可知不是“不发现”“不保护”或“不改变”数字科技。

　　10．A　该句进一步说明数字科技的重要性，所以选用表示递进的also，意为“也，还，同样地”。instead“代替，而是”；otherwise“否则，要不然的话”；somehow“不知怎么地，以某种方式”。

　　11．A　connect“联系”；train“训练，培训”；recommend“推荐，建议”；interest“吸引，使感兴趣”。本文反复讲述数字时代人们之间的“联系”，所以应选A项。

　　12．C　pleasure“有趣的事”；benefit“好处，益处”；burden“负担”；disappointment“失望”。从句意可知，对于不想被联系起来的那些人来说，很容易被找到感觉是一个“负担”。

　　13．D　slightly“稍微地”；hardly“几乎不”；merely“仅仅”；really“真地”。该句分析的是积极的一面，那就是真正想独处的人仍然还可以做到。

　　14．B　shut out“把……关在外面，排斥，遮住”；shut down“关闭，停机”；shut up“使住口，闭嘴”；shut in“围住，关进”。应选B项，此处表示“计算机可以被关闭”。

　　15．C　该句说明了事情的正反两个方面，所以选C项与后面的disadvantages对应。aspect“方面”；weakness“缺点”；advantage“优点”；exception“例外”。

　　16．B　该句说明数字科技的好处。从“手机救了无数人的命”判断，应选B项，此处说明旅游者在山中“迷路了”，处于危险的境地。

　　17．A　trapped“陷入困境的，受到限制的”；excited“激动的，兴奋的”；confused“困惑的，迷茫的”；amused“有趣的，愉快的”。该句说明数字科技的坏处，可排除B、D两项；根据后面“被迫接不想接的电话”判断应选A项，表示处于困境中。

　　(2017·福建厦门质检)

　　You are trapped at the window of a building that is on fire. You hear a man's voice through the smoke __1__ you shouting, “Jump！” Will you jump? Will you leave the known, as __2__ as it is，and jump into the unknown?

　　__14__

　　important is a second factor, which is ACTION. Will you jump? It __15__ little how much you believe you trust someone if you are finally __16__ to jump. Will you show your trust for them by jumping?

　　You may be __17__ to make a jump. Staying in the burning building is __18__ an option, but not one you'll want to make for long. __19__ it feels risky to leap into the smoke，you may discover there is a safe and secure __20__. You may also discover that there are those to be trusted. And you may discover that it is worth the jump.

　　答案与解析

　　本文为议论文。假使你被困在一幢失火的楼房里，此时下面有人透过浓烟向你高喊“跳”！你会跳吗？你会离开已知的危险而投身于未知的情况吗？

　　1．B　根据下文第6空处“Will he let you fall to the ground __6__ support your weight？”可知，这个朝你大喊的人应该是在下面。

　　2．B　因为楼房已经着火，所以离开的应是已知的危险，应选择B项。

　　3．C　此处指是否要往下跳这一问题的答案取决于两个因素。phenomenon “现象”；problem “问题”；answer “答案”；approach “方法”。

　　4．D　其一是与你对那个向你喊的人了解的程度有关；go with “伴随，搭配”；make out “认出”；look over “快速地查看”；do with “与……有关”。

　　5．A　他可靠吗？他是让你摔落在地，还是会接住你呢？reliable “可靠的，可依赖的”；capable “有才能的，有能力的”；strong “强壮的”；clever “聪明的”。

　　6．C　空处前后为选择关系，因此使用or。

　　7．D　根据下文可知，此处表示“人与人之间的关系也是如此”。relationship “关系”，符合语境。

　　8．B　根据前文，并结合下文的“Can they be depended on？”可知，此处表示“我们有多了解那些我们愿意信任(trust)的人？”

　　9．A　当环境改变(change)了，他们还会支持你吗？

　　10．C　根据下文“Certainly, madam. I can give you even __11__ guarantees.”可知，她在问小贩能不能提供保修单。delay “推迟，延误”；consult “查阅，磋商”；offer “提供”；acquire “获得”。

　　11．A　根据“even”可知，小贩说他甚至可以提供终身保修，lifetime “终身的”，符合语境。

　　12．B　小贩说：“我唯一不能保证的是下周一上午这个时间我还在这儿。”根据语境可知，应选can't。

　　13．D　所以说，信任的第一部分就是“相信”，courage “勇气”；dependence “依赖，依存”；strength “力量”；belief “相信，信赖”。

　　14．A　此处指同等重要的，因此选择A项。equally “相等地，同等地”；absolutely “绝对地”；basically “基本地，主要地”；relatively “相对地”。

　　15．C　如果你最终还是不愿意跳，那么你有多相信你所信任的人也就无关紧要了。matter “要紧”，符合语境。

　　16．A　参见上题解析。unwilling “不愿意的”，符合语境。

　　17．C　根据下文“but not one you'll want to make for long”可知，留在着火的楼房里不是长期的选择，因此你可能决定(deciding)跳下去。

　　18．B　留在着火的楼房里在任何时候都算得上是一种选择，但它不是长期的选择。merely “仅仅”；always “总是，一直”；hardly “几乎不”；occasionally “偶尔”。

　　19．A　根据“risky”与“safe and secure”可知，前后为转折关系，因此选择A项。

　　20．D　虽然从浓烟中跳下去很危险，但你落地(landing)时可能会很安全很平稳。

　　Cloze 1

　　In Israel there is a body of water that is actually below sea level.

　　Water __1__ flows into it, but, because of the

　　__2__ of gravity, nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake?

　　It' s called the Dead Sea.

　　It' s called this because the mineral deposits have __3__ to such an extent that no living thing could __4__ in this water. The water is literally __5__. Contrast this to what happens with “living water”. When you think of the term “living water” the __6__ that comes to mind is a __7__ river or bubbling spring that is flowing. It' s filled with life and __8__. It doesn' t just “receive” , but is also “giving”__9__. There is life there. There's a __10__ illustration (实例) here.

　　Many of us believe that we need to __11__ more of something in order to be

　　__12__. Whether what we __13__

　　is money or love or something else, we think that we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.

　　As a result of this, we begin to operate in __14__ and therefore don't give anything because we're afraid that we won't have enough.

　　The

　　__15__？

　　Like the Dead Sea, we become

　　__16__. When we don't give, we die.

　　Life is meant to __17__. When a pool of anything __18__ flowing (giving), it becomes stagnant (停滞的). Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It can't breathe. It can't receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, there's no __19__

　　for anything else to come in.

　　The solution?

　　Give. As you give, you will receive. It's a __20__ law. You see it at work in nature. You see it at work in the economy. You see it at work everywhere, because it' s true.

　　答案与解析

　　1．B　考查逻辑关系。根据文章中的逻辑关系，从下文的转折词but判断，水是在源源不断地流入死海，但是因为地球引力的缘故，水流不出去。

　　2．A　常识题。根据语境可知，此处指地球引力定律。因此用the law of gravity。其他选项不符。

　　3．D　考查词义辨析。根据上文可知，因为水流不出去，死海中的矿物质越积累越多。pile“堆积”；expand“扩展”；gather“聚集”；accumulate“积攒；累积”。

　　4．C　常识题。根据常识可知，死海中没有生物能够存活下来。

　　5．A　前后对照题。与下文的living water相对比。

　　6．B　逻辑关系题。此处跟死海形成对比，当人们想到“活水”的时候，首先进入人们大脑的景象是湍急的河水或奔涌的泉水，image“图像；景象”，符合语境。

　　7．C　考查词义辨析。因为是活水，所以只能是流动的水，奔流的水。B项pouring意为“倾倒；倾泻”，用于修饰“河水”不当。

　　8．A　活水中充满了生机和动感。故movement恰当；wave“波浪”，意义不当，表达的含义过于单一。

　　9．C　考查词义辨析。活水在流进的同时，也流出(给予)，故at the same time (同时)符合题意，once in a while “偶尔”；in the beginning“开始；起初”；above all“首要；最重要的是”。

　　10．D　逻辑推理题。此题结合作者的最终结论可得出答案。作者认为用活水和死海的例子来说明生活的真谛非常有价值。

　　11．B　作者指出我们生活中的错误：总是认为只有索取才能获得幸福。absorb“吸收”，不符合文章所论述的中心。

　　12．C　考查句意。根据语境并分析四个选项可知答案。句意；我们很多人认为为了获得幸福，我们需要索取更多东西。

　　13．A　词义辨析题。此处指我们生活中所渴望得到的东西，故desire正确。prefer“更喜欢”；catch“抓住”；make “制造；使……”。

　　14．D　逻辑关系题。下文有提示，我们害怕因为得不到足够的物质而失去幸福，故fear符合逻辑。

　　15．B　逻辑推理题。分析下文可知，此处指前文所论述的事情的结果。

　　16．D　逻辑推理题。此处作者在着力阐述其观点。因为我们只想索取，而不愿意给予，因此最终我们的生活也变得缺乏生机和活力，因此用lifeless“没有生机的”正确。

　　17．A　句意理解题。生活也需要流动，因此 flow“流动”正确。

　　18．B　考查词义辨析。假如一潭水停止了流动，它就停滞了。A项delay“耽误；延误”，不能准确地表达句意。

　　19．D　考查词义辨析。结合作者所阐述的中心论点可知答案。假如没有东西流出，也就没有空间去接受新的东西了。

　　20．C　考查词义辨析。从后文可知，作者强调这一普遍真理，universal“普遍的；通常的”，符合语境。
