果你把它做到完美，伟大的事情就会发生)”以及下文“Articlesandexpertsinsistthattoomuchcomplainingwillloweryourempathy(共情)andstopyouachievingyourdreamandlivingthelifeyouwant.(文章和专家坚持认为，过多的抱怨会降低你的同情心，并阻止你实现梦想和过上你想要的生活)”说明抱怨有积极的一面，但是人们认为抱怨是会产生负面影响的。空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是虽然抱怨可以让好事发生，但是实际上抱怨通常让人觉得不好。D项“事实上，抱怨的名声不好。”符合语境。故选D。【17题详析】上文“Complainingdoesserveasarealpurposeinourlives.(抱怨确实是我们生活中的一个真正目的)”说明抱怨是我们生活中的一个真正目的。空处对前文进行解释，并引出下文，G项中的it指代前句中的complaining，“greatthingscanhappen”和下文中的“tendtobehappier”相呼应，说明一旦我们发现如何利用整合它，好的事情就会发生。故选G。【18题详析】上文“Itplaysaveryimportantroleinourlivesandisaskillthatcanbeextremelyeffective.

(它在我们的生活中扮演着非常重要的角色，是一种非常有效的技能)”说明抱怨在人们的生活中起着重要的作用，是一种非常有效的技能。空处承上启下，说明抱怨在人们的生活中起着重要的作用，所以对待抱怨我们的目的不是消除，而且使其更加有用和有效，引出下文如何巧妙处理抱怨艺术的方法。所以F项“我们的目标不是消除抱怨，而是使其更加有用和有效。”符合语境。故选F。【19题详析】上文“Pickthosewhocanempathizewithyouorhelpwithyourgoal.(选择那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人)”说明我们需要选择和那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人去抱怨。空处引出下文，A项中的thesamepeople和下文中的“thosewhocanempathizewithyouorhelpwithyourgoal”相呼应，说明不要总和同一个人抱怨，选择那些能与你产生共鸣或帮助你实现目标的人。故选A。【20题详析】上文“Usefactsandlogic.(运用事实和逻辑)”以及“Identifywhohastheabilitytomakeithappen.(确定谁有能力做到这一点)”说明对上文给出的建议做出了总结。空处应对上文提及的要点3进行概括。上文“Makeconnectionswithothers.Itwouldbepossibleforpeopletoknowwhatyouneeded.(与他人建立联系。人们有可能知道你需要什么)”说明此处讲的是应该与别人多联系，所以空处应该是与社交有关的句子。C项“与他人建立社交关系，使投诉易于处理。”符合语境。故选C。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Inthefirstclassofcollege,ourteachergaveusaspecialtask—gettoknowsomeonewedidn’tknowbefore.WhenIlookedaround,Ifoundawrinkled,littleoldlady____21____me.Shesaid,“Hi,mynameisRose.I’meighty-sevenyearsold.”“Whyareyouincollegeatsuchayoung,innocentage?”Iasked____22____.“I’mheretomeetarichhusband,getmarried,andhaveacoupleofkids...”shereplied.“Noseriously,”Iasked.Iwas____23____whatmayhavemotivatedhertobetakingonthis____24____atherage.“IalwaysdreamedofhavingacollegeeducationandnowI’mgettingone!”shesaid.Fromthatdayon,webecame____25____friends.Weleftclasstogetherandtalkednonstop.Iwasalways____26____tolisteningtothis“timemachine”asshesharedherwisdomand____27____withme.Attheendoftheterm,Rosewasinvitedto____28____aspeech.I’llneverforgetwhatshetaughtus.“Thesecretofstayingyoung____29____beingpositiveandpursuingdreamspersistently.You’vegottohaveadream.Whenyouloseyourdreams,youdie,”shewenton.“Anybodycangrowolder.Thatdoesn’ttakeany_____30_____orability.Theelderlyusuallydon’thave_____31_____forwhattheydid,butratherforthingstheydidn’tdo.Theonlypeoplewho_____32_____deatharethosewithregrets.”Finally,Rosefinishedthecollegedegreesuccessfully.AmonthaftergraduationRosedied_____33_____inhersleep.Thousandsofcollegestudentsattendedherfuneral(葬礼)_____34_____thewomanfromwhomwecanlearna_____35_____thatit’snevertoolatetobeallyoucanpossiblybe.21.A.improving B.approaching C.reminding D.donating22.A.jokingly B.absolutely C.entirely D.obviously23.A.sensitive B.scared C.awkward D.curious24.A.consequence B.application C.challenge D.strategy25.A.general B.distant C.instant D.generous26.A.addicted B.interested C.excited D.moved27.A.character B.arrangement C.opportunity D.experience28.A.remove B.deliver C.inform D.protest29.A.callsfor B.contributesto C.turnsup D.liesin30.A.journal B.profit C.talent D.image31.A.complaints B.regrets C.wishes D.goals32.A.impress B.survive C.fear D.confirm33.A.peacefully B.patiently C.faithfully D.sincerely34.A.infavorof B.inhonorof C.inspiteof D.inchargeof35.A.phenomenon B.destination C.comment D.lesson〖答案〗21.B22.A23.D24.C25.C26.A27.D28.B29.D30.C31.B32.C33.A34.B35.D【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了87岁的老太太Rose追求自己的梦想，去上了大学，她在一次宴会上发表自己对于衰老和成长的感悟，让作者十分难忘。【21题详析】考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我环顾四周时，我发现一位满脸皱纹的小老太太向我走来。A.improving提高；B.approaching接近，靠近；C.reminding提醒；D.donating捐赠。根据语境和前文“Inthefirstclassofcollege,ourteachergaveusaspecialtask—gettoknowsomeonewedidn’tknowbefore.WhenIlookedaround,Ifoundawrinkled,littleoldlady”以及后文“Hi,mynameisRose.I’meighty-sevenyearsold.”可知，老师给了我们一个特殊的任务——去认识一个我们以前不认识的人，老太太对我说的自我介绍，此处是指老太太向我走来。故选B项。【22题详析】考查副词词义辨析。句意：我开玩笑地问。A.jokingly开玩笑地；B.absolutely绝对地；C.entirely完全地；D.obviously明显地。根据语境和前文“‘Hi,mynameisRose.I’meighty-sevenyearsold.’‘Whyareyouincollegeatsuchayoung,innocentage?’”可知，作者对着87岁的老太太开玩笑地问她为何在这么年轻、天真的年纪上大学。故选A项。【23题详析】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我很好奇，是什么促使她在这个年纪接受这个挑战。A.sensitive敏感的；B.scared害怕的；C.aw
