19、）的方法之一是拥有梦想，故选D项。42B. 根据文意，have a dream是保持年轻、快乐和取得成功的秘诀之一，那么失去了梦想就意味着变老了，所以lose最合适。其他选项与文意不符。43C. 根据文意可知，Rose性格开朗，人缘很好，而且自己的梦想也实现了，由此可推测她在睡梦中安静的去世，故选C项 peacefully最符合文意。44D. 由上下文可知，Rose虽然年老，仍保持着一颗年轻、快乐、上进的心，所以她从自身做起，成为大家学习的榜样。所以此处用介词by最合适，构成搭配teach/education by example，意为“以身作则”。45D. 根据Rose的故事我们可以得出启发

20、：实现自己的梦想，再晚也不为过。所以D项late最合适。三、 阅读理解17. Do you know what a castle is? A castle is a building special to Europe. Castles were built in the Middle Ages by king and other powerful people who live in.
