A【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者其中的一个指甲坏了，为了追求完美，想把其它九个指甲也剪掉，但作者的女儿却阻止了作者。她认为妈妈的指甲很漂亮。由此作者想到人是会犯错误的，这并不意味着我们是失败者，我们需要接受并不是一切都是完美的这个事实。【16题详解】考查动词辨析。A. expected期望；B. rejected拒绝；C. decided决定；D. managed管理。句意：把其它的都保留没有任何意义，所以我决定把它们都剪掉。由“there was no point in keeping the others”可知，作者决定把它们都剪掉。故C选项切题。【17题详解】考查动词辨析。A. complained抱怨；B. criticized批评；C. commented评论；D. cried喊叫。句意：你在做什么，妈妈?我女儿叫到，你的指甲看起来棒极了。别剪了。女儿看到妈妈要减掉妈妈漂亮的指甲，所以很惊讶于是喊着问到，妈妈在做什么。故D选项切题。【18题详解】考查动词辨析。A. ruined破坏；B. broken打断；C. disturbed 打扰；D. weakened变弱。句意：但是它们都被一个指甲给毁了，我边说，边在她面前挥动着这个坏的指甲。由前文“I broke a nail（指甲）”可知，作者想把她的坏了的指甲展示给女儿看，以此来说明它们都不完美了。以此故A选项切题。【19题详解】考查副词辨析。A. even甚至；B. still仍然；C. just仅仅；D. ever从来。句意：他们没有，她说。你还有九个指甲啊。still用作副词时强调动作或状态仍在继续。故B选项切题。【20题详解】考查动词辨析。A. agreed同意；B. admitted承认；C. refused拒绝；D. hesitated犹豫。句意：我犹豫了。由下文可知，作者对自己这种追求完美的行为进行了思考，所以当女儿说完“你还有九个指甲啊”，作者对自己要剪指甲的行为犹豫了。故D选项切题。【21题详解】考查名词辨析。A. opposite对立面；B. concept概念；C. misunderstanding误解；D. comparison对比。句意：我的指甲肯定不再完美了，“完美”的反义词是“灾难”对吧？。由“perfect和disaster”可知，在作者心里，这两个词是相反的两个词。故A选项切题。【22题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. talking about讨论；B. worrying about担忧；C. thinking about考虑；D. setting about着手处理。句意：我一直在思考我为什么要这样做，但我不知道是什么导致了这种行为。由前文可知，作者犹豫了，所以一定是在思考她为什么要这样做。故C选项切题。【23题详解】考查名词辨析。A. mistake错误；B. behavior行为；C. condition条件；D. character特性。句意：我一直在思考我为什么要这样做，但我不知道是什么导致了这种行为。前文“ act this way”指的就是behavior。故B选项切题。【24题详解】考查动词辨析。A. rejects拒绝；B. abandons放弃；C. compares对比；D. sees看见。句意：我的大脑只看到“完美”或“灾难”。根据常识可以判断出，当对事情追求完美时，“完美”或“灾难”就会呈现在人的大脑里。所以只看到的是“完美”或“灾难”。故D选项切题。【25题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. complex复杂的；B. elegant优雅的；C. cautious谨慎的；D. aggressive攻击性的。句意：然而，我们人类绝不只是好或坏那么简单我们要复杂得多。由“However, we humans are never just good or bad”可知，然而，我们人类绝不只是好的或坏那么简单，所以人类是复杂的。故A选项切题。【26题详解】考查动词辨析。A. possess拥有；B. avoid避免；C. distinguish区别；D. accomplish完成。句意：我们有赢也有输，偶尔，它们很难区分。人类是复杂的，所以很难区分是赢还是输。故C选项切题。【27题详解】考查动词辨析。A. motivates激发；B. requires要求；C. acknowledges承认D. recommends推荐。句意：对我们大多数人来说，学着不做我们习惯做的事情需要努力，也可能会导致不适。做习惯做的事情会得心应手，但学着不做我们习惯做的事情是需要努力的。故B选项切题。【28题详解】考查动词辨析。A. remind提醒；B. teach教；C. promise承诺；D. inform告知。句意：然而，我们应该提醒自己，我们有时会犯错误，这并不意味着我们是失败者，我们需要接受事情有时会出错的事实。作者以自己为例，作者总是在追求完美，但不是一切都是完美的。所以人们与她也有相似的情况，总在忽略不是一切都是完美的这个事实。故作者觉得人们应该提醒自己。故A选项切题。【29题详解】考查名词辨析。A. victims受害者；B. failures失败者；C. winners赢家；D. explorers探险家。句意：然而，我们应该提醒自己，我们有时会犯错误，这并不意味着我们是失败者，我们需要接受事情有时会出错的事实。根据常识判断，犯错误总是和失败联系在一起。所以作者在这里说明犯错误的人并不意味着是失败者。故B选项切题。【30题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. bad坏的；B. wild野蛮的；C. crazy疯狂的；D. wrong错误的。句意：然而，我们应该提醒自己，我们有时会犯错误，这并不意味着我们是失败者，我们需要接受事情有时会出错的事实。make mistakes与 go wrong 为同义词，一个说明人犯错误，一个说明事情会出错。故D选项切题。【31题详解】考查副词辨析。A. helplessly无助地；B. casually满不在乎地; C. occasionally偶尔；D. merely仅仅。句意：我们偶尔会摔倒，并且通常会直接站起来。根据常识判断，摔倒是偶尔发生的。故C选项切题。【32题详解】考查动词辨析。A. sticking扎；B. ringing作响；C. whispering低声说；D. beating打。句意：女儿的话在我耳边回荡，我决定保留我那九个漂亮的指甲。由前文可知，是女儿的话让作者对自己进行了思考。她的话在作者耳边回荡，所以作者决定保留我那九个漂亮的指甲。故B选项切题。【33题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. vacant.空缺的；B. shallow肤浅的；C. upset焦虑的；D. skeptical怀疑的。句意：每次看到自己的手，我都感到很沮丧，但我决心接受自己的选择。看到自己坏了一个指甲，手变的不完美了，所以肯定会沮丧。故C选项切题。【34题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. live on靠为生；B. live up to履行；C. live through经历；D. live with接受。句意：每次看到自己的手，我都感到很沮丧，但我决心接受自己的选择。由“but”可知，前后句语意转折，所以 live with“接受”符合句意。故D选项切题。【35题详解】考查名词辨析。A. imperfection不完美；B. principle原则；C. assumption假定；D. category种类。句意：这是对不完美的完美练习。作者的手虽然不完美了，但是作者却能欣然接受，反应出作者对事物态度的改变以及心态的改变。所以这是对不完美的完美练习。故A选项切题。第三部分阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AYouve probably heard people expressing alarm about the spread of fake news stories that look like news articles but describe things that never happened. Fake news is written to attract attention, to trick people so they will look foolish, or to work as satire ( 讽 刺 ) making a point about society. But regardless of the sources motivation, spreading fake news embarrasses you and harms others, so follow these steps to ensure you only share real news.Check its grammarLegal news sites check their grammar carefully, so articles with many errors are usually fake. Also watch out for sentences written in all capital（大写的） letters and the use of multiple exclamation points（感叹号） at the ends of sentences. These are designed to bring about an emotional reaction, but they arent considered professional, so trustworthy publications dont use them.Read the whole articleEven in real news articles, headlines sometimes overstate or simplify the point of the article. Before reacting, read the article carefully to make sure you understand the whole context. Sometimes the claims of fake news articles become unreasonable as the article goes on.Consider the sourceIf youve never heard of the publication, check the About section on its website. Fake news sites often lack such a page, provide little information or even admit that the
