B.besatisfiedwithC。beanxiousabout D。becrazyabout[解析］词义猜测题.结合上下文的语境判断本句意为：谁会对他们所得到的感到妒忌、不满呢？接下来作者讲了一般人从事枯燥但稳定的工作，所以这里意思是：从事稳定工作的人会妒忌这些明星。［答案]A3．Accordingtothepassage，whichofthefollowingcanmatchtheviewoftheauthor?A。Hewholaughslastlaughsbest.B.Ifyouventurenothing，youwillgainnothing.C。Hewhomakesnomistakesmakesnothing。D.Successbelongstothepersevering。[解析］推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,想成为明星就要冒更大的风险，然而一旦成功，回报也是丰厚的，那些选择了稳定工作的人是没有权利期待高额回报的。“Ifyouventurenothing，youwillgainnothing。”意为：不入虎穴,焉得虎子，即要成功就要冒险。［答案］B4．Theauthorholdsa（n)________attitudetowardsthehighincomeofpopstars。A.critical

示“让某人失望”。5．but→and或so此处应为顺承关系而非转折关系,故将but改为and或so。6．was→were此处主语为allthethings，故应用were。7．better前加aleadabetterlife表示“过一种更好的生活".8．mother→mother's此处表示“达到了妈妈的期望",故应用其所有格形式。9．√10．good→bad根据上文可知此处是指“我不再认为压力是一件坏事”，故应将good改为bad。＊＊*＊＊**＊*****＊＊****＊＊*＊＊*＊＊＊＊＊***＊*＊*＊＊*＊**＊＊*＊＊**＊＊＊*＊**＊＊*结束例1（2012全国卷1）LastnightIwasdrivingfromHarrisburgtoLewisburg，distanceofabouteightymiles.Itwaslate。SeveraltimesIgotstuckbehindaslow-movingtruckonanarrowroadwithasolidwhitelineonmyleft,andIbecameincreasinglyimpatient.Atonepointalonganopenroad,Icametoacrossingwithatrafficlight.Iwasaloneontheroadbynow，butasIdrovenearthelight，itturnedredandImadeastop。Ilookedleft,rightandbehindme.Nothing。Notacar，nosuggestionofcarlamps，butthereIsat,waitingforthelighttochange,theonlyhumanbeingforatleastamileinanydirection。Istartedwonderingwhy1refusedtorunthelightIwasnotafraidofbeingcaught,becausetherewasclearlynopolicemanwound,andtherecertainlywouldhavebeennodangeringoingthroughit。。Muchlaterthatnight，thequestionofwhyI'dstoppedforthatlightcamebacktome.IthinkIstoppedbecauseit’spartofacontract（契约）weallhavewitheachother。It’snotonlythelaw，butitisanagreementwehave，andwetrusteachothertohonorit：wedon'tgothroughredlights.Trustisourfirstinclination（倾向)。Doubtingothersdoesnotseemtobenaturaltous.Thewholeconstructionofoursocietydependsonmutual（相互）trust,notdistrustWedowhatwesaywe'lldo;weshowupwhenwesaywe’llshowup;andwepaywhenwesaywe'llpay。Wetrusteachotherinthesematters，andwe'reangryordisappointedwiththepersonororganizationthatbreaksthetrustwehaveinthem.Iwassoproudofmyselfforstoppingfortheredlightthatnight.65.Theeventmadetheauthorstronglybelievethat.A。trafficrulesmaybeunnecessaryB。doubtingothersishumannatureC。patienceisimportanttodriversD.asocietyneedsmutualtrust［点拨]D根据短文第5段，不难判断作者相信一个社会需要互相信任。因此，正确答案为D选项
