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。

身体健康的人不愿意去想死亡的事，死亡是我们希望避免的话题。但是死亡是普遍的人生经历，是人人都要面临的少数必然之一。理智的人对必然的死亡预作计划，从容对待；只有愚蠢的人不能正视现实，希望用某种方法逃脱死亡。人寿保险对必然的死亡提供理智的安排。只要对自己的死亡能够直面对待的人才能充分理解人寿保险的必要性。人寿保险公司充分认识到了人民对死亡的负面印象，为此，他们对保险代理商进行培训时，要求他们在推销中避免使用直率的语言，而努力以恰当的方式让客户们意识到：人终究会死，人人都会面临死亡，必须要客观地接受自己的比如死亡才能在经济上为此做好充分的准备。

参考答案

1.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。

2.B解析：takemeasures意思为“采取措施”，本句应用被动语态。

3.B

4.C

5.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。

6.C

7.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

8.C

9.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。

10.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。

11.B

12.B

13.D

14.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。

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.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。

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

18.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。

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”。

20.A

21.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。

22.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。

23.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。

24.Bsetout意为“出发，动身”。

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

26.Dapplyto应用；applyfor申请

27.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

28.D

29.C

30.A

31.D

32.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。

33.B

34.A

35.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。

36.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。

37.D

38.B

39.A

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

41.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。

42.B

43.C

44.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)

45.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。

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

47.C

48.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。

49.D

50.A

51.DSureyoucan这是有关学车路考的一段对话。

学员：我考得好吗?

考官：你想知道真实成绩吗?

学员：我为什么不想知道?

考官：你的成绩很糟。

学员：你说的很糟到底是什么意思?

考官：你没有通过。

学员：我为什么没通过?

考官：没通过的原因很多。

学员：我都什么地方做错了?

考官：总体来说，你根本不知道如何驾驶。

学员：我可以重考吗?

考官：当然可以，但必须在两周半内。

52.A

53.G

54.E

55.D

56.B

58.C

59.C

60.C

61.B解析：然而，如今参赛的运动员都是职业的。

62.D根据上下文，通篇讲的是电视领域的变化是相当大的。选项A是正确的。

63.C解析：“视线接触”用contact。

64.D

65.B27．答案为B

it的用法。在此it作形式宾语，替代形容词后的不定式短语。make+it+adjforsb.+to

dosth.是一种常见句型。

66.D解析：意为“沿着小道走”。

67.C解析：根据上下文，很显然Mr.Johnson是把烟递给小女孩。

68.B解析：betterthan“比……好”。Ilikenothingbetterthandriving.“我最喜欢开车”。

69.C解析：that引导的是一个表示条件的并列句，句型通常是：祈使句+and，祈使句+or。从结构上看本题要选用助动词或情态动词。由于前一个分句的谓语用的一般现在时，从事情发生的先后顺序看，后分句的谓语应选用一般将来时，故此C项will是正确答案。其他选项不符合句子意思的要求。

70.D解析：根据前面句子中的networks“网络”可知应选择nations，指“国家”。其他选项只是国家的部分地区。

71.Ifyouwanttosavemoney,you`dbetterbuysecond-hand/usedbooks.
