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。

六、作文(1题)71.假定你是Helen，要写一封信给Julie，对她和她的丈夫昨日请你和你丈夫吃饭表示感谢，表示要回请他们，以答谢他们的盛情款待。

参考答案

1.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。

2.D

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

4.D

5.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。

6.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。

7.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。

8.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。

9.C

10.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

11.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。

12.C

13.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。

14.D

15.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。

16.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

17.C

18.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

19.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。

20.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。

21.D

22.B解析：2000年12月8日，选举人将在各自的州选举总统和副总统。

23.B解析：获胜者成为国家英雄。

24.D

25.A解析：词义辨析题。very：正是，起强调作用；exact：确切的，准确的；right：正确的；usual：平常的。根据语境，A项正确。

26.C

27.D解析：从上面的分析可以看出回信是给那些有着各种各样问题的读者的。for意为“为了……”。

28.B他们就必须要花钱在电视、收音机、报纸、杂志等上登广告。

29.A21．答案为A

习惯搭配。Beof+名词结构相当于形容词用法，表示具有某种性质、状况。beOftheutmostimportance相当于bethemostimportant。

30.B解析：不让孩子听音乐，也就是让孩子“安静地”做作业。

31.B解析：most前可以带a，此时的most是very的含义。

32.C解析：aloafofbread：一条面包。根据文章倒数第二行“Shecuteachoftheloaveswithaknife…”可知是两条面包，而不是两片面包。

33.B解析：根据句意，报纸上不仅刊登回信，而且把问询信也刊登在报纸上。alongwith...意为“和……一起”。

34.C

35.A解析：none表示“三个(以上)人/事物当中没有一个”。全句的意思是：“我从来没有吃过意大利面条，而且大人们当中也没有一个有足够的经验擅长吃意大利面。”根据下文“大家争论应当如何用符合社交礼节的方式把面条从盘子里送入口中”，可以断定此空应选none。

36.B解析：这篇文章记述了阔别已久的人回乡看望其兄长的妻子和儿子的事。从前一个穷裁缝的儿子是一个整天无所事事闲逛的孩子。

37.B解析：第22题语境中的invent与该题选择项D．created是同义词，本段第二句“Manyofthemwere...inventors”也提供了同样的线索。而A．employed(使用)，C．operated(开动)，D．controled(控制)都表示如何使用机器，不符合题意。

38.D解析：诺贝尔委员会表达了一个希望。
