52、人都会有这种情况出现。1A。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。事实上，我们可以看到这个法则在起作用。此处principle法则；habit习惯；way方式、方法；power力量。只有principle和第一句话中的rule意思接近。故选A。2D。考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。后面详细描述了不同年龄的人的情况，因此可知本句话的意思是：其实，我们在不同年龄的人在工作时都会看出这一点。此处parties党、聚会；B.races竞赛；countries国家；ages年龄。故选D。3C。考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。例如，在圣诞节的早晨，孩子们兴奋地玩他们的新玩具。此处working工作；living和一起生活；

53、playing 玩；going去。短语 play with的意思是玩弄。故选C。4B。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。根据语境可知，但是孩子们对这些玩具的兴趣很快就越来越少了。此处confidence自信；interest兴趣；anxiety焦虑；sorrow悲伤。故选B。5A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。到一月份可以发现同样的那些玩具就被放在了地下室里。此处same相同的；extra额外的；funny好玩的；expensive贵的。the same同一个的，说明还没持续几天兴趣就没了。故选A。6D。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。这个世界充满了装了一半的集邮册和为完成的模型，此处well-organized 组织好的；colorfully-printed涂得五颜六色的；newly-collected新收集来的；half-filled完成一半的。这里又是一个不能把兴趣保持下去的例子。所以最佳选D。7B。考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。每一个都如
