life文章大意：文章通过一则事例说明在生活中总是吹毛求疵的话，日子会变得很艰难，人们应该学会宽容，并介绍了挑剔者重新获得对生活的爱和热情的技巧。1alonely bgreatcquiet duneasy答案：b句意：然而，当你不再忙于挑错时，生活会变得美好。lonely意为“孤独的”；great意为“美好的”；quiet意为“安静的”；uneasy意为“心神不宁的；担心的”。从4、5空所在的句子people were always doing things that annoyed her，可以看出，喜欢找茬的人是不开心的，而相反，如果不忙于挑错，生活会很美好，故选b项。2areceived bansweredcexpected drejected答案：a背景常识题。句意：几年前我收到一位叫克里的17岁女孩的来信后文介绍信件的内容，所以这里表达的是“收到了”来信。receive意为“收到”；answer意为“回答”；expect意为“期望”；reject意为“拒绝”。故选a项。3athreatened binterruptedcbothered dspoiled答案：c句意：几乎总是被(各种)事情困扰。threaten意为“威胁”；interrupt意为“打断”；bother意为“烦扰”；spoil意为“溺爱；宠坏”。再结合该空后的“人们总是做各种各样的事情烦扰她”，其中annoy与bother意义相近，故选c项。4aanything beverythingcsomething dnothing答案：d句意：人们总是做各种各样的事情烦扰她，从来没有什么事情足够好(令她满意)。根据句意可知选nothing，表示完全否定。5acaring bboringcinteresting dsurprising答案：bcaring意为“关心他人的”；boring意为“令人厌烦的，乏味的”；interesting意为“有趣的”；surprising意为“令人惊讶的”。根据该空前一句“她对自己及朋友都很挑剔，总是吹毛求疵”可知，她是个“令人厌烦的人”。故选b项。6aattitude bplancmeasure dexplanation答案：aattitude意为“态度”；plan意为“计划”；measure意为“措施”；explanation意为“解释”。克里的挑剔是一种对待生活的“态度”，且本段介绍克里的一个朋友发生了事故，这件事迫使她改变了自己的态度。故选a项。7aurgent bunnecessaryccertain dimpossible答案：durgent意为“急迫的”；unnecessary意为“没必要的”；certain意为“确定的”；impossible意为“不可能的”。下文告诉我们，克里在朋友出事的前一天晚上，按自己的生活态度把朋友生活上的各个方面数落了一遍，态度极为苛刻。这让克里觉得自己的所作所为难以接受，很难面对自己曾经对朋友这样吹毛求疵的事实。8aoccasion beventcaccident dadventure答案：c本句话介绍的是克里在事故发生之前对朋友挑剔的事情，又根据段首的a horrible accident可知“事故”是一个时间界点，由此可推断这里是表达“在事故前一天”。故选c项。9amemory bnoticecevidence dchoice答案：dmemory意为“记忆”；notice意为“注意”；evidence意为“证据”；choice意为“选择”。由语境可知，这里指的是“选择”男友。故选d项。10ahear bcontributecexpress dadmit答案：c根据句意“以及其他各种她觉得需要表达(她的意见)的事情”，句中9空前的criticizing意思是“批评”，与选项c“表达(某人的意见)”意义相近。故选c项。11aaware of bafraid ofccurious about dconfused about答案：a句意：直到她朋友严重受伤后，她才意识到自己挑剔的习惯。(become)aware of意为“(开始)意识到”；(become)afraid of意为“(变得)害怕”；(become)curious about意为“(变得)对好奇”；(become)confused about意为“(变得)对困惑”。此处指的是朋友的遭遇使她意识到了自己的这一坏习惯，故选a项。12adiscuss brealizecjudge dsettle答案：c句意：很快，她学会了欣赏生活而不是刻薄地去评判每一件事。judge“评判”与前文中的criticize相呼应，与appreciate“欣赏”形成对比，表明她的态度的转变。故选c项。13afamily blifeccareer deducation答案：b句意：她能够把这种新的智慧运用到生活的其他方面。family意为“家庭(成员)”；life意为“生活”；career意为“事业”；education意为“教育”。根据12空前的appreciate life可知，该空选life最合适。故选b项。14aso borcbut dfor答案：c句意：也许我们大部分人并不是极端地吹毛求疵，但当我们坦率起来时，也可能会尖锐地评判这个世界。so表结果；or表选择；but表转折；for表原因。根据语境可知这里表转折，故选c项。15aproud bsurechopeful dcritical答案：d根据句中的when were honest可知，每个人都可能会尖锐地评判(criticize)这个世界。其余选项中，proud意为“自豪的”；sure意为“确信的”；hopeful意为“有希望的”，均不符合语境。故选d项。16aface bcreatecsolve dignore答案：d本句话是对首句的进一步解释，句意：我不是建议你忽略问题，或者假装事情要比他们本身更好，不过仅仅是允许事情按自己的规律发展句中的or表示选择，根据句中的not suggesting和pretend可知用“忽略”合适。17ararer bbettercstranger dworse答案：b根据上题的解释，“假装”可能是事情的好的方面，因此用better合适。18aat least bat lastcby far dso far答案：a句意：不过仅仅是允许事情按自己的规律发展至少在大多数时候at least意为“至少”；at last意为“最后”；by far意为“(与形容词、副词的比较级或最高级连用)最；无疑；很”；so far意为“到目前为止”。根据语境可知，修饰时间状语“大多数时间”用at least搭配更合适。故选a项。19atask bdealcresult dduty答案：b背景常识题。句意：尤其是当它不是真正的大事时。task意为“任务”；deal意为“协议；交易”；result意为“结果”；duty意为“义务”。对比前面的things可知用deal最合适，not a big deal表示“不是什么大事”，故选b项。20apractice bspeechcrest dpity答案：a句意：训练自己“忍住不说”，经过一点点练习，你会真正地学会顺其自然。practice与train对应，符合语境，故选a项。阅读理解ai went online to check if my pay was in my bank accountto my amazement i discovered that not only had i been paid，a company
