Directions:Inthissection,thereisashortpassageinChinese.ReaditcarefullyandputitintoEnglish.

人生不是上帝为谴责我们的缺陷而给我们布下的陷阱。人生也不是一场拼写比赛，不管你拼出多少单词，一旦出现了一个错误，就会前功尽弃。人生更像是一个棒球赛季，即使最好的球队也会输掉三分之一的比赛，即便最差的球队也有春风得意的日子。我们的目标就是多赢少输。当我们能够接受不完整是人性的一部分这个事实时，当我们的人生不断滚动并能欣赏其价值时，我们就会获得其他人仅渴望的完整人生。我相信这就是上帝对我们的要求：不求“完美”，不求“永不犯错”，而是求得人生的完整。

六、作文(1题)66.S城的交通拥挤现象日趋严重，事故时有发生，特别是在早晚上、下班高峰期。市政府决定采取措施改善交通现状，向广大市民征集建议。请根据下面的要点向市政府提出建议。(1)修缮公路，改善路面状况;(2)修筑立交桥，缓解交通阻塞现象;(3)控制小轿车的产量。要求：短文需要涉及上述所有内容，可以适当增加内容，阐述自己的其他想法。

参考答案

1.B解析：此处是对将来情况的假设。虚拟条件句的谓语部分为should，had或were时，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在从句的主语之前，构成主谓部分倒装。

2.B解析：表示否定的副词前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒装，即助动词提前。其余选项均可排除。除Notuntil外还有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副词或结构放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装。

3.D

4.Blaunch为“发射”讲；其余为干扰项。

5.B

6.B

7.B解析：本题考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困难”。句意为：有时孩子们在分清故事和现实方面会有困难，相信故事中的事确实存在。

8.C

9.D

10.C

11.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

12.C

13.B

14.C解析：本题考查倒装虚拟语气用法。本句是表示与将来事实相反，所以从句用wereto形式。句意为：如果他今天出发的话，他就会在星期五以前到达那里。

15.D

16.C

17.B解析：本题考查动词固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介词of，表示剥夺什么。

18.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

19.A本题考查祈使句型：

【应试指导】句意：Mary，到这里来，其余的人待在原处。根据句子的结构可判断出这是个祈使句。所以要用动词原形开头。Mary在句中不是

主语，而是“呼语”。
