解析：这是一篇观点阐释型作文，要求考生对谚语“少壮不努力，老大徒

伤悲”发表自己的看法。围绕这一谚语，可以将文章内容安排如下：

第1段首先分析谚语的内涵。

第2段举例详细论证谚语的正确性：

1.少年时沉溺于网络游戏，年老时学识表现和身体状况都糟糕。

2.大学时代荒废时日，今后会为此吃苦头。

第3段呼吁大家在青春时要努力，年老时才能得硕果。

［参考译文］

少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲

有这么一个古老的说法：“少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲”，意思是，如果你在

年轻的时候不努力，年老的时候你将会过得非常凄惨。这是一个普遍真理，没有

人能够否认它。

不幸的是，依然有很多年轻人对其置若罔闻。我们时不时会看到，青少年

通宵沉溺于网络游戏。他们全然不在乎这些游戏会损害他们的学习和身体，结果

便是年老时学识表现和身体状况都很糟糕。另一个例子就是一些大学生，他们丝

毫不关心自己的专业和知识的获取，只是荒废光阴O他们常认为自己有大把时间，

大学是一个放松的地方。只要能拿到文凭，没必要花很多精力在学习上。毫无疑

问，这些人在不久的未来就会尝到苦头，更别说等他们年老了。

总而言之，我们所有人都应牢记：青年时期是努力的时期。只有这样，我

们才能在年老时获得硕果。

0.fall（分数：35.50）

1.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：I）

解析：根据空格前面的系动词be,再结合空格后的介词from,判断此处需

要一个现在分词或过去分词又构成谓语。词库中符合条件的动词有avoiding,

implied和recoveringoavoid和implied不与from连用，故排除。wine-fuelled

excesses是指（周六晚上）的纵酒狂欢，recoverf「om指从这些活动中“恢复"，故

填recoveringo

［参考译文］根据一本关于在最佳时间做事的新书的说法，观赏蒙娜丽莎的

最佳时间是在星期天早上的9点钟左右：似乎大多数的游客都没有意识到罗浮宫

在那个时候已经开放，而知道的人却仍未从周六晚上的纵酒狂欢中恢复过来。在

餐厅吃晚餐的最佳时间是周二:人少。周二比周一好，因为很多餐馆周末不进货，

这让周一的食物不那么新鲜。

这些都是马克•迪文森佐的新作《五月买番茄酱中午坐飞机》里面收集的

一些世俗的，但又异常令人信服的生活建议。这本书所反映的思想再普通不过了，

即时机的掌握就是一切。但这种观点给人的启示却具有着广泛意义。如果有一个

完美的时机可以要求加薪或与对方约会，或者在生活中有一个完美的时机可以买

房、生育小孩或者换工作，那我们所有人都会有希望，只要我们选择合适的时机

做合适的事。

当然，把握好时机让一切都能够进展顺利并没有什么秘诀。但迪文森佐的

书中提到的一个普遍原则是；在生活中我们有必要学学在什么时候，以及如何有

意避开与世界上的其他人同步行动。有时，这就是一个简单的避开人群的问题：

很明显，这就是为什么会有淡季，为什么迪文森佐会建议在对方刚上班的时候拨

打客服专线，因为那时打进的人最少。不过，要学的东西还很多，而不仅仅是避

开高峰时间：通过使用一些小技巧，你便可以避开人群，利用他们的从众行为给

自己带来方便。

2.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：G）

解析：根据该空格前的表示比较级的词less,可推知此处缺少一个形容词。

上一句讲到，很多餐馆周末不进货，这里想表达的应该是周一的食物不新鲜，用

fresho

3.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：C）

解析：该空格是与strangelycompelling“异常令人信服的”共同修饰后面

的名词life-advice,但是意思上构成转折，可推知此处缺少一个形容词。另这句

话的末尾还讲到，“这本书所反映的思想再普通不过了……”，提示这里填入

worldly“世俗的”合适。

4.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：D）

解析：根据空格前面的限定同the及后面的介词of,可判断此处需要一个

名词。But引导的转折句，需结合上文分析，前面说到literally”照字面意思地”，

这里讲的是暗含的意思，故此处应填implicationso

5.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：F）

解析：空格位于such和名词art之间，可以推知空格处应为修饰art的形

容词。这句话讲的是，把握好时机让一切都能够进展顺利并没有什么……的技巧,

填入secret比较合适，表示“秘诀”。

6.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：J）

解析：空格位于does后，可以推知此处需要一个原形谓语动词。词库中符

合条件的动词有emerge和fall,这两个词都可以与空格后的from搭配。其中

emergefrom意为"出现",fallfrom意为"落下emerge带人句中表示"

出现在迪文森佐的书中”，为答案。

7.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：0）

解析：根据空格前的howto,判断此处也需要一个原形谓语动词。同汇库

中只有fall能与空格后的outof搭配。falloutof本意是“从……中落下"，这里

指“有意避开与世界上的其他人同步行动”。

8.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：B）

解析：该空格于介词of和thecrowds中间，，可判断此处需要一个动名词，

与。f构成动宾结构。根据冒号后面的内容，为什么会有淡季等等，这里讲的是

“避开人流”的问题，故选avoiding。

9.（分数:3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：K）

解析：根据空格所在的句子并不缺少主要成分,可推断这里需要一个副词。

than前面讲到除了避开高峰期以外还有很多东西，因此空格处填入表程度的副

词merely,表示不仅仅是避开高峰时间。

10.（分数：3.55）

填空项1：（正确答案：L）

解析：空格位于their和behaviour之间，可判断此处需要一个形容词或名

词。这句话的意思是，通过使用一些小技巧，你便可以避开人群，利用他们的……

行为给自己带来方便。herdbehaviour是一个固定表达，意为“从众行为"，故用

herdo
