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。

参考答案

1.B

2.D解析：从句中的问句主谓不倒装。从句的时态随主句。我想知道那辆车的价格。

3.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。

4.C

5.B

6.A

7.B解析：cuts“裁减”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱点”；imports“进口”，故正确选项为B。

8.Bsetout意为“出发，动身”。

9.A解析：本题考虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the广引导的从句中，谓语动词应用“should+认”，should可以省去，再结合语态，故A项正确。本句大意为：他们要求所有的必要文件都必须在月底之前交到校长办公室。

10.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

11.A解析：根据上文提到“findone”，故下文中也应填one，表示泛指。

12.D

13.A

14.D

15.A解析：while意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；if意为“如果”；since意为“因为”。根据题意选A。

16.C解析：副词so置于句首，句子应该用倒装语序，某人受伤用sb.beinjured来表示，故答案为C。

17.A解析：反问疑问句的陈述部分是肯定式时，疑问部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反问疑问句，疑问部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以选项A是正确的。

18.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。

19.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

20.C

21.B解析：本题考查固定搭配的用法。当否定词位于句前时，得出结论应用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故选B。

22.D解析：forgetdoingsth．忘了已做过某事。注意区别forgettodosth。忘了而没有做某事。

23.C

24.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”。

25.D解析：本题测试形容词辨析。四个选项的意思分别是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正义的”，“仅仅的”。根据句意，D项正确。本句大意为：他仅仅把它作为一个细节来描述，而我却认为它是这个计划中最重要的部分。

26.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。

27.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

28.B

29.A解析：favor：帮助，一般用domeafavor；good：好处；help不与do搭配：kindness：善良。故选A。

30.B

31.A

32.B解析：encourage：鼓励、鼓舞；discourage：使泄气；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根据句意只有选B。

33.D

34.B考查反义疑问句。原句应是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反义疑问句的规则是陈述部分是肯定式，疑问部分应是否定式。Wouldthink表示推测，疑问部分也应选择would。选项B是正确的。【句子大意】你难道还认为他已经忘掉了，是吗?

35.B

36.D本题考查时态。

【应试指导】句意：当你写信回家的时候，请代我向你的妻子问好。在时间状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

37.A本句考查两个并列句之间的连接的词。题干的意思是：“气球能够浮在空气中正如船能够浮在海面上一样。”在四个选项中，只有A项的justas有“正如，犹如”的意思。故选A。

38.D解析：本题考查动词搭配。doone'shomework“做作业”；makemistakes“犯错误”。句意为：做作业，还要保证别犯错误。

39.B解析：theeducationsystem是主语，谓语动词应用单数；thedesiredresults意为“期望的结果”。

40.C解析：notonly…butalso连接主语时，谓语动词根据就近原则由butalso后的成分来决定。TomandMary是两个人，所以动词用复数形式。

41.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。给她脸上浇些水，或许她会醒过来。本题考查词组辨析。comeround：过访，绕道而来，苏醒过来；comeback：回来，恢复；comeagain：再说一遍，重复一遍；comeout：出来，传出。

42.C所有的学生都去看了昨天的魔术表演。它太令人不可思议了。这里主要考查的是动词的现在分词和过去分词的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么样。Sb．bedone表示某人处于某种状态。例：Theletteristouching．这封信令人感动。

Iammoved．我很感动。

43.D

44.Dapplyto应用；applyfor申请

49.C

50.D

51.B

52.F

53.What(film/movie)didyousee?

54.F

55.B59．答案为B

首先应读懂上义，后进行逻辑推理、选择填充词句。上文意为“你脸色苍白，怎么了?”当看到别人反常叫，常这样问。所填充的词句意为“我太累了。”

56.

61.C解析：pass意为“通过”。

62.D解析：opening表示“洞，缺口”；blank表示“空白处”crack表示“裂缝”；break表示“裂缝，裂口”。根据句意可知，应是两个人的头之间的空隙，opening是符合的。
