五、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Once a circle missed a wedge (楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish(滋润) his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so. There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive — he or she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved wholeness that others can only long for.
1. Which may be an example of being whole?
A. A person has everything.
B. A person accepts his or her limitations.
C. A person loves someone and is loved.
D. A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.
2. How is a baseball season similar to life?
A. Easy come, easy go.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Energy and persistence conquer all things.
D. Some battles you win and some battles you lose.
3. How does the author clarify his idea?
A. Mainly by comparing.
B. Mainly by reasoning.
C. Mainly by informing.
D. Mainly by arguing.
4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Pursue perfection in life
B. Be whole in life
C. Life without mistakes is whole
D. No pains, no gains
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章以一个小故事引出话题——人生不在于完美,而在于完整。
2. D【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose"可知,棒球赛季和生活的相似之处在于你有输有赢,故选D。
3. A【解析】考查写作手法。第二段内容(人生"完美"的人)和第三段内容(人生完整的人)作对比;最后一段又 拿baseball season和life作比较,因此作者主要是通过作对比和作比较的方法来行文的。compare"对比, 比较"。
4. B【解析】考查主旨要义。本文作者通过圆和楔子的小故事感悟出这样的道理:从某种奇怪的意义上讲,当 我们失去某些东西的时候,我们反而会更加完整,人生不在于完美而在于完整。因此不管是从形式上还是 从意义上,B项作标题是最佳的。
B
When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is”. Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
5. According to the passage, winners________.
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather that others
6. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. avoid B. accept
C. improve D. consider
7. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should________.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
8. When problems occur, winners take them as________.
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
【语篇解读】成功者的秘诀是什么呢？解决问题而不是责备别人！
5. A【解析】推理判断题。根据文中第二段和第三段开头句Winners are great at overcoming problems.和This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills...可知成功者总是解决问题而不是责备别人。
7. A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.可知。
8. D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.可知。
六、完形填空
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But this time, the shark? 6 because it knocked hard against the fiberglass? 7 . Determined, the shark kept? 8 this behavior every few minutes, but? 9 . Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around? 10 in the second part. Eventually, the shark? 11 hope of hunting. This experiment was carried out several times. Each time, the shark got less? 12 and made fewer attempts to attack the fish, until it? 13 hitting the fiberglass and simply stopped attacking. The biologist then? 14 the fiberglass, but the shark didn’t attack. The shark was trained to believe a? 15 existed between it and the bait fish,? 16 the bait fish could swim wherever they wished, free from harm.
Many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures,? 17 give up and stop trying. Like the shark in the story, we believe that? 18 we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful.? 19 , even when no "real" obstacle exists between where we are and where we want to go, we? 20 see obstacles in our heads.

【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。一位海洋生物学家做了一个小实验,作者由这个实验发出感慨:我们中的许多人经历过挫折和失败后,就从情感上放弃尝试。
1. B 实验结果在你的预料(expectations)之中。demand"要求,需求";schedule"工作计划,日程安排";requirement"要 求,必要条件"。
2. C 然后这位生物学家把一块坚固的玻璃纤维插入(inserted)这个水箱里,制造出两个分开的部分。add" 添加",常与介词to搭配使用。
3. A 参见上题解析。separate"分开的";opposite"对面的,迥然不同的";connected"相连的";relevant"紧密相关的"。
5. D 根据第一段中的"attacked"可知,此处应表示再一次(Again),鲨鱼快速对用作诱饵的鱼发起了攻击。
6. A 但是这一次,鲨鱼被弹了起来,因为它重重地撞上了玻璃纤维分隔板。bounce"(使)弹起,弹跳",符合语 境。pause"停顿";withdraw"撤回,撤离";leap"跳跃"。
7. D 参见上题解析。divider"分隔物,分开物",符合语境。trapper"捕杀动物者";catcher"捕捉器,接球手";tester"测 试员,测试器,试用品"。
8. B 根据上文中的"Determined"和下文中的"This experiment was carried out several times. Each time, the shark got less and made fewer attempts to attack the fish"可知,一开始,鲨鱼不断重复(repeating)这 一行为。accomplish"完成";copy"复制,模仿";strengthen"加强"。
9. B 尽管鲨鱼不断重复这一行为,但都是白费力气。in vain"徒劳,白费力气",符合语境。in order"井然有序, 适当";in secret"秘密地,暗中";in pain"痛苦地"。
11. D 最终,鲨鱼放弃了(abandoned)捕猎到用作诱饵的鱼的希望。divorce"使脱离";decline"拒绝";raise"提高"。
12. B 每一次,鲨鱼的攻击性都会变得更弱一点。aggressive"侵略的,挑衅的",符合语境。blind"盲目的";alert" 警觉的";arbitrary"任意的"。
13. C 根据下文中的"and simply stopped attacking...but the shark didn’t attack"可知,鲨鱼厌倦了(got tired of) 撞击玻璃纤维。get occupied with"忙于";get involved in"卷入"。
14. D 然后,生物学家移除了(removed)玻璃纤维,但是鲨鱼仍不攻击。readjust"再次调整";restore"恢复 ";replace"替换"。
15. A 鲨鱼被训练得相信它和用作诱饵的鱼之间有障碍物(barrier),因此(玻璃纤维被移除后)小鱼无所顾忌 地四处游动,不受攻击。distance"距离";gap"间隙";distinction"区别"。
16. A 参见上题解析。前后句之间是因果关系,前面是因,后面是果,故选并列连词so。
17. C 我们中的许多人,在经历挫折和失败后,会从情感上(emotionally)选择放弃,并停止尝试。readily"快捷 地,轻而易举地";intentionally"有意地";physically"身体上地"。
18. A 好比这个故事中的鲨鱼,我们认为因为我们过去失败过,所以就永远不会成功。此处应用because引 导原因状语从句。
19. B 换句话说(In other words),我们不断(constantly)在我们的脑中看到障碍,即使我们所在的位置和我们 想要达到的位置之间并没有"真正的"障碍。above all"最重要的是";as a result"结果";in conclusion"总之"。
20. B 参见上题解析。abruptly"突然";eventually"最终";occasionally"偶尔"。
七、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Change is much easier when you have many supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since it is often the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that? 1 (push) us out of our comfort zone to take care of ourselves, it can mean? 2 (force) to start to be independent, which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
Probably the most difficult thing about seeking significant change is doing it? 3 you don’t have financial or emotional tools available to make the process go? 4 (smooth). But sometimes reaching our full potential means working without? 5 safety net. For those truly? 6 (devote) to their mission, having fewer resources can be a surprising blessing as it forces them to get? 7 (create)and explore new paths.
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world? 8 zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings, we often realize it too late to avoid certain painful? 9 (outcome).
Please keep in mind that the choice belongs to each of us. We all have the power to change and give more intentional? 10 (direct) to the remainder of our lives.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。选择权就在我们手中,我们都有能力去改变。
1. pushes【解析】考查动词时态和主谓一致。本文的基本时态是一般现在时,此处亦用一般现在时。本句是 强调句,强调的是or连接的并列主语,故谓语动词应与or之后的some other life tragedy保持一致,应 用第三人称单数。故填pushes。
2. being forced【解析】考查非谓语动词。这可能意味着我们被逼开始变得独立。根据句意可知,mean在此表 示"意味着",其后应接名词、动名词或代词作宾语;又因force与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,故 此处应填being forced。
4. smoothly【解析】考查副词。修饰动词go应用smooth的副词形式。
5. a【解析】考查冠词。但有时,充分发挥我们的潜能意味着我们要在没有完全网的情况下来付诸努力。net" 网"是可数名词,此处表泛指,故应用不定冠词a。
6. devoted【解析】考查非谓语动词。对那些真正致力于他们的任务的人来说,有更少的资源可能会是一件出 人意料的好事。devote与those是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词。be devoted to...是固定短语, 表示"投身于……,致力于……"。
7. creative【解析】考查形容词。因为它能迫使他们变得富有创造力并探索新的道路。分析句子结构可知,get 在句中为系动词,意为"变得",故此处应用形容词creative作表语。此处考生易错填creation。谓语动 词get后的确可以用名词作宾语,但是如果填了creation,此处的语义就解释不通了。
8. with【解析】考查介词。我不知道我们是否有可能毫无遗憾地离开这个世界。with表示"带有",符合语境。
10. direction【解析】考查名词。根据空前的"intentional"可知此处填direct的名词形式direction。

【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。一位海洋生物学家做了一个小实验,作者由这个实验发出感慨:我们中的许多人经历过挫折和失败后,就从情感上放弃尝试。
1. B 实验结果在你的预料(expectations)之中。demand"要求,需求";schedule"工作计划,日程安排";requirement"要 求,必要条件"。
2. C 然后这位生物学家把一块坚固的玻璃纤维插入(inserted)这个水箱里,制造出两个分开的部分。add" 添加",常与介词to搭配使用。
3. A 参见上题解析。separate"分开的";opposite"对面的,迥然不同的";connected"相连的";relevant"紧密相关的"。
5. D 根据第一段中的"attacked"可知,此处应表示再一次(Again),鲨鱼快速对用作诱饵的鱼发起了攻击。
6. A 但是这一次,鲨鱼被弹了起来,因为它重重地撞上了玻璃纤维分隔板。bounce"(使)弹起,弹跳",符合语 境。pause"停顿";withdraw"撤回,撤离";leap"跳跃"。
7. D 参见上题解析。divider"分隔物,分开物",符合语境。trapper"捕杀动物者";catcher"捕捉器,接球手";tester"测 试员,测试器,试用品"。
8. B 根据上文中的"Determined"和下文中的"This experiment was carried out several times. Each time, the shark got less and made fewer attempts to attack the fish"可知,一开始,鲨鱼不断重复(repeating)这 一行为。accomplish"完成";copy"复制,模仿";strengthen"加强"。
9. B 尽管鲨鱼不断重复这一行为,但都是白费力气。in vain"徒劳,白费力气",符合语境。in order"井然有序, 适当";in secret"秘密地,暗中";in pain"痛苦地"。
11. D 最终,鲨鱼放弃了(abandoned)捕猎到用作诱饵的鱼的希望。divorce"使脱离";decline"拒绝";raise"提高"。
12. B 每一次,鲨鱼的攻击性都会变得更弱一点。aggressive"侵略的,挑衅的",符合语境。blind"盲目的";alert" 警觉的";arbitrary"任意的"。
13. C 根据下文中的"and simply stopped attacking...but the shark didn’t attack"可知,鲨鱼厌倦了(got tired of) 撞击玻璃纤维。get occupied with"忙于";get involved in"卷入"。
14. D 然后,生物学家移除了(removed)玻璃纤维,但是鲨鱼仍不攻击。readjust"再次调整";restore"恢复 ";replace"替换"。
15. A 鲨鱼被训练得相信它和用作诱饵的鱼之间有障碍物(barrier),因此(玻璃纤维被移除后)小鱼无所顾忌 地四处游动,不受攻击。distance"距离";gap"间隙";distinction"区别"。
16. A 参见上题解析。前后句之间是因果关系,前面是因,后面是果,故选并列连词so。
17. C 我们中的许多人,在经历挫折和失败后,会从情感上(emotionally)选择放弃,并停止尝试。readily"快捷 地,轻而易举地";intentionally"有意地";physically"身体上地"。
18. A 好比这个故事中的鲨鱼,我们认为因为我们过去失败过,所以就永远不会成功。此处应用because引 导原因状语从句。
19. B 换句话说(In other words),我们不断(constantly)在我们的脑中看到障碍,即使我们所在的位置和我们 想要达到的位置之间并没有"真正的"障碍。above all"最重要的是";as a result"结果";in conclusion"总之"。
20. B 参见上题解析。abruptly"突然";eventually"最终";occasionally"偶尔"。
七、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Change is much easier when you have many supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since it is often the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that? 1 (push) us out of our comfort zone to take care of ourselves, it can mean? 2 (force) to start to be independent, which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
Probably the most difficult thing about seeking significant change is doing it? 3 you don’t have financial or emotional tools available to make the process go? 4 (smooth). But sometimes reaching our full potential means working without? 5 safety net. For those truly? 6 (devote) to their mission, having fewer resources can be a surprising blessing as it forces them to get? 7 (create)and explore new paths.
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world? 8 zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings, we often realize it too late to avoid certain painful? 9 (outcome).
Please keep in mind that the choice belongs to each of us. We all have the power to change and give more intentional? 10 (direct) to the remainder of our lives.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。选择权就在我们手中,我们都有能力去改变。
1. pushes【解析】考查动词时态和主谓一致。本文的基本时态是一般现在时,此处亦用一般现在时。本句是 强调句,强调的是or连接的并列主语,故谓语动词应与or之后的some other life tragedy保持一致,应 用第三人称单数。故填pushes。
2. being forced【解析】考查非谓语动词。这可能意味着我们被逼开始变得独立。根据句意可知,mean在此表 示"意味着",其后应接名词、动名词或代词作宾语;又因force与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,故 此处应填being forced。
4. smoothly【解析】考查副词。修饰动词go应用smooth的副词形式。
5. a【解析】考查冠词。但有时,充分发挥我们的潜能意味着我们要在没有完全网的情况下来付诸努力。net" 网"是可数名词,此处表泛指,故应用不定冠词a。
6. devoted【解析】考查非谓语动词。对那些真正致力于他们的任务的人来说,有更少的资源可能会是一件出 人意料的好事。devote与those是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词。be devoted to...是固定短语, 表示"投身于……,致力于……"。
7. creative【解析】考查形容词。因为它能迫使他们变得富有创造力并探索新的道路。分析句子结构可知,get 在句中为系动词,意为"变得",故此处应用形容词creative作表语。此处考生易错填creation。谓语动 词get后的确可以用名词作宾语,但是如果填了creation,此处的语义就解释不通了。
8. with【解析】考查介词。我不知道我们是否有可能毫无遗憾地离开这个世界。with表示"带有",符合语境。
10. direction【解析】考查名词。根据空前的"intentional"可知此处填direct的名词形式direction。
