目标。).”可知，后文提到了问题是很多人养成了劳碌的习惯，这不会更接近目标，可知本句是在说明接近目标、取得胜利的做法：实行行动。故G项“你可能已经知道，胜利的关键之一就是实行行动。”符合语境。故选G项。19．A依据后文“First，youneedtofigureoutthetwoorthreethingsthatarethemostimportanttoyourachievement.Then，scheduleoutyourtimesothatyouarespendingatleast70%ofyourtimedealingwiththosethings.Anythingthatisn’tpartofthoseimportantthingsshouldbepushedtotheendofthedayornotbeworkedonatallifpossible(首先，你须要弄清晰对你的成就最重要的两到三件事。然后，支配好你的时间，这样你至少要花70%的时间来处理这些事情。任何与这些重要事情无关的事情都应当推到最终，或者假如可能的话就不要再做了。).”可知，后文介绍了实现目标的详细步骤，故A项“那么你该怎么做呢？”符合语境。故选A项。20．F依据上文“Beingabletofocusyouractionsondoingthefewthingsthatmakethebiggestimpactonobtainingyourendresultisaskill(能够将你的行动集中在对你的最终结果产生最大影响的少数事情上是一种技能。).”以及后文“Yourgoalswillbeachievedfasterandyourlifewillimprovegreatly.Continuewastingyourtimeondoingalotofthingsthatdon’tmatterandyou’llprobablybewhereyouarenowayearfromtodayandthat’saregretyoucandowithout(你的目标会更快地实现，你的生活也会大大改善。接着奢侈你的时间在那些无关紧要的事情上，你可能会在一年后的今日成为现在的样子，这是一个你可以不懊悔的缺憾。).”可知，上文提到了一项技能，推想本句承接上文说明这一技能的作用：一旦驾驭，你就会领先于大多数人。故F项“一旦驾驭，你就会领先于大多数人。”符合语境。故选F项。其次部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Itwasalready11:00p.m.，ChristmasEveof2009．HermanandIlockedourstoreandwenthome.Wewerenot__21__becausesomechild’sgiftwasstillonthelayaway(预付订金购货法)shelf.Thepersonwhohadputadollardownonthepackagenever__22__．EarlyChristmasmorningweandourtwelve-year-oldson，Tom，openedgifts.ButtherewassomethingdullaboutthisChristmas.Tomwasgrowingup；I__23__hischildisheagernessofpastyears.Andthenastrange__24__suddenlyappearedinside.Itseemedtobetellingmetogotothestore.Lookingattheicysidewalkoutside，Isaidtomyself，“That’s__25__！”Butitwouldn’tleavemealone.__26__，itwasgettingstronger.Finally，unabletostandit，Igotdressedand__27__mywaytothestore.Infrontstoodtwoboyswithnohatsorgloves.Theyoungerone’sfacewaswetwith__28__，butseeingme，hestoppedcrying.Iimmediately__29__themintothestore.“MylittlebrotherJimmywants__30__.Wehavethesethreedollars.”Ilookedatthemoneyandthentheir__31__faces.“I’msorry，”Isaid，“butwehaveno...”Thentheremainingpackagecaughtmyeye.I__32__itandtherewasapairofskates!Whatamiracle!Andmiracleaddeduponmiracle，theywerehis__33__．Theyfitwell.Theolderboy__34__thedollarstome.IrefusedandsaidtheskateswereaChristmasgiftforJimmy.Theirsmilesstretchedwide.WhatIsawinJimmy’seyeswaspurejoy，whichwasbeautiful.My__35__rose.()21．A．optimistic
