A. in particularB. in realityC. at least D. first of all解析句意：这句话听起来简单且可实现，但实际上，这些明智的语言很快就会被忘掉的。前后两句为转折关系，由此可推知答案。in particular尤其，特别；in reality事实上，实际上；at least至少；first of all最重要的是。 答案B2. A. emphasize B. doubtC. overlook D. believe解析根据本段最后一句可知，公司把顾客吸引来之后，即买卖成功之后，他们就忘了把顾客继续留住，也就是忽视了“attracting and retaining customers”中的后半部分，即retaining customers。emphasize强调；doubt怀疑；overlook忽视；believe相信。 答案C3. A. denying B. ensuringC. arguing D. proving解析由上文的叙述可知，他们忘掉了他们认为的麻烦事确保自己的顾客以后还是顾客。deny否认；ensure确保；argue争论；prove证明。 答案B4. A. Moving B. HopingC. Starting D. Failing解析结合上文以及本句的后半部分“在生意上，每年要付出巨额资金”，由此可知，此处表示“没能吸引并留住顾客”。 答案D5. A. markets B. tastesC. prices D. expenses解析上句提到公司失去自己的顾客，这应该发生在“变幻莫测的市场之中”，由此可知答案。 答案A6. A. culture B. socialC. financial D. economical解析根据下文可知，本句意为“只是现在，有些组织才开始注意到这些失去的机会，才开始计算经济上的后果”。 答案C7. A. promise B. planC. mistake D. difference解析由句意可知，一家公司减少损失的顾客可使它在市场上的表现大为改观。make a difference意为“有意义；有影响；有作用”。 答案D8. A. cost B. opportunityC. profit D. budget解析句意：美国研究发现，流失顾客如果减少百分之五，赢利(profit)就会增加百分之二十五到百分之八十五。 答案C9. A. as a result B. on the wholeC. in conclusion D. on the contrary解析新顾客得到的产品或服务质量差，结果，他们就不会再回来了。根据上下句可看出，两句话有因果关系。as a result结果；on the whole整体上看；in conclusion总之；on the contrary相反。 答案A10. A. huge B. potentialC. extra D. reasonable解析由常识可知，老顾客流失造成的损失应该是“潜在的”，且如果他们把自己不好的经历告诉他人，损失会更大。 答案B 11. A. beliefs B. loyaltyC. habits D. interest解析根据下句“In practice.focused on getting customers.”可知，此句表示“培养顾客的忠实性符合逻辑，不容否认”。loyalty忠诚，符合文意。 答案B12.

And解析联系上下文，结合选项，可知A项正确。once曾经，一度，与过去时连用；then, and起承上连接作用，由语境可知，上下句间并非承接关系；maybe大概、或许，符合语意。 答案A2. A. who B. whatC. it D. this解析使他高兴的可能对别人不起作用， what在该句中作主语，所的。 答案B3. A. more B. nowC. worse D. so解析有人可能花费一生寻找幸福，但是徒劳，对比上句可看出，这种情况比上文提到的更糟，故此处用worse。even so尽管如此，表转折意。 答案C4. A. often B. reallyC. hardly D. frequently解析我原以为如果我确实能得到我想得到的并能做我想做的事，我就会幸福。really确实地，其他选项不符合句意。 答案B5. A. important B. necessaryC. unnecessary D. possible解析it指上句的内容，根据本句中的but表转折意：但是我是失望的，可知上句意为那件事能做，故此处应选possible。 答案D6. A. present B. allC. times D. last解析尽管有时我是幸福的，但不能使它保持长久。此处的时间状语与for a long time相对应，at times有时。at present目前，现在。 答案C7. A. did B. thoughtC. learned D. discovered解析分析语境可知，下文作者的朋友表达了他对幸福的看法，故上文作者给出了自己对幸福的看法，what作thought的宾语，当我告诉我的一位朋友关于幸福我所想的时，故此处应为thought。 答案B8. A. single B. simpleC. common D. strange解析本句用了not.but.意为“不是而是”，参考选项，结合but后的byproduct可知前文应为single，单独的。 答案A9. A. lying B. stupidC. right D. foolish解析从下文作者的观点Happiness is only a byproduct. . . 可知作者同意他朋友的说法，故此处应为right。 答案C10. A. get B. makeC. produce D. bring解析根据下文的he has new_11_及该句中but后的转折意可知有人认为钱能带来一切。 答案D11. A. wishes B. demandsC. worries D. business解析从下文的去教堂祈求可知此人又有担忧的事。worry令人担忧的事。 答案C12. A. help B. God C. comfort D. rest解析从上文他们有担忧的事可知，去教堂应是祈求安慰，comfort安慰。 答案C13. A. suggests B. happensC. seems D. causes解析结合常识及but前的句子可知，爱有时会引起误解、厌倦甚至争吵。 答案D14. A. fields B. types C. kinds D. forms解析联系上文可知幸福仅仅是你喜欢做的各种事情的副产品。all kinds of各种各样的。 答案C15. A. have B. graspC. search D. discover解析That is后的句子表明幸福不是以物质的形式存在的，故你不能用直接抓的方式抓住它。grasp抓住。search后加宾语意为搜查。 答案B16. A. floating B. existingC. coming D. surrounding解析它不是以物质形式存在的而是以精神形式存在的。exist in. . . 以存在。 答案B17. A. mind B. knowC. ask D. wonder解析根据下文的one day you will_19_find happiness itself has quietly 20 可知我们不应介意我们现在是否幸福。mind vt. 介意，在乎。 答案A18. A. life B. familyC. happiness D. health解析从上文内容可知幸福是各种不同事情的副产品，所以我们要热爱所有的事情即生活，才会得到副产品，故此处应填life。 答案A19. A. hardly B. suddenlyC. never D. often解析从本句的时间状语one day及上文的热爱生活可知是在平时对生活的热爱中有一天你发现自己得到了幸福，故应用suddenly。 答案B20. A. disappeared B. missedC. lost D. arrived解析结合上下文语境，热爱生活就会得到幸福，故此处应填arrived。 答案DCloze 3(2011河北省正定中学高三第二次考试)“Are you too stupid to do anything right？”These words said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son were spoken_1_he had walked away from her.
