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.D

2.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

3.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。

4.C

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

6.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。

7.B

8.D解析：which修饰非限定性定语从句，指代前边一句话。本题涉及句法知识——简单句、并列句和复合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(简单句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(复合句)

9.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。

10.B

11.C

12.C

13.D

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

15.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。

16.B

17.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。

18.Bsetout意为“出发，动身”。

19.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。

20.B

21.Dapplyto应用；applyfor申请

22.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。

23.A

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

25.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。

26.A

27.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。

28.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。

29.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。

30.A

31.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”。

32.Blaunch为“发射”讲；其余为干扰项。

33.A

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.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。

36.C解析：句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

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

38.A解析：shape意为“(女人的)姿态，身段”；form意为“形状，形态”；appearance意为“外表，样子”；body意为“身体”。由题意知应选A。

39.B解析：takemeasures意思为“采取措施”，本句应用被动语态。

40.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

41.D

42.C

43.D

44.A

45.D解析：上句责备玛丽应该做作业而不是坐到那儿看电视，下句是玛丽对妈妈责备的一种辩解：“你说过电视是有教育意义的。”所以D项正确。

46.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。

47.B

48.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。

49.A解析：此题考查反意疑问句的用法。主句为祈使句，因此其反意疑问句用willyou。

50.C

51.F

52.B

53.B

54.thisisDr.Greenspeaking

55.CTheATMgivesyoubills

56.H

57.A

58.ifyoucango(totheconcert)withme

59.D

65.B词义辨析题。

【应试指导】catch接住；throw扔；beat敲打；play玩。三个小孩子应该是互相把球扔给另一个人。
