42、去人生的意义”。依据important判断，第一空要用an，第二空后的money表泛指，故不用冠词。2.b解析：basesthon/upon以为根据；从结构看定语从句中应用被动语态。3.b解析：句义为“专注于自己的目标这一习惯一时间是很难形成的，但是它终究对你会有好处”。 inthelongrun意思是“终究”。infuture不能与后半句形成比较；c、d两项结构错误。4.a解析：句义为“既然你下定主意要做好这个研究，我认为你最好寻求些帮助”。since表示“既然”。5.c解析：句义为“会议上，这位老人提了个好建议来调低市场上洋葱的价格”。主语是提出建议的人，a、b和d三项一般主语为物。6.a解析：“howcome?”的意思是“怎么回事？怎么发生的？怎么解释？”because用来表明原因，故选a项。7.b解析：从句义看应是比身高，全句可改成“thereatthedoorstoodagirl.herheightisaboutthesameasmyheight.”。8.a解析：句义为“雨下得很大，小凯西感到又冷又怕，因此她紧紧挨着她妈妈站着”。close紧紧地；closely接近地；closed关闭的；closing结束的。根据句义选a。9.d解析：句义为“收到密友的来信真是太好了。你相信吗，我们已
