10、d yourself ahead at the expense of a friend可知，说的是不好的话，可选项有unkind和unfaithful，但由前面的judged roughly“粗鲁的评判”可知这里表示说话时不考虑他人的感受，因此unkind“刻薄的”更加符合上下文语气。2.选K)。由clearly and一词可知，此处应填副词，与closely一起修饰道歉时的情形。选项有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/accurately o accurately t _blank accurately和truly,由“回想一下你曾明确地并地表示自己歉意的场合”，能使句意通

11、顺的是truly“真诚地”，而accurately一般表示“（数据计算得）精确地”，故排除。3.选N)。it stays out of balance until.，其中it=some HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/mysterious o mysterious t _blank mysterious moral feeling可推出，出于道义上的原因，人会感到不安，故选 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/disturbed o disturbed t _blank disturbed“不安的”。而confessed“公开承认的”不符合句意。4.选D)。此处

12、应填名词。从“知道承认错误，表达之后，才能觉得安心，”选项中只有regret“歉意”符合题意。5.选H)。此处应填形容词。由headaches， HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/insomnia o insomnia t _blank insomnia（失眠）and stomach trouble可推出，可选项有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/mental o mental t _blank mental和physical，由朋友的话“Unless. Worrying you, I cant help you. 可知这个人是由于心理上的原因，而不是生理上的

13、，故选physical即No physical cause.。6.选F)。此处应填动词。选项中的动词有confessed，cured和 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/disturbed o disturbed t _blank disturbed，但由After some HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/hesitation o hesitation t _blank hesitation可推出，此人是在向医生坦白情况，故选择confessed“坦白”。7.选G)。此处应填名词。由as HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/executor o

14、 executor t _blank executor of his fathers will可推知，此处说明的是，在遗产继承方面，他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟，故只有选项inheritance符合题意。8.选M)。此处应填名词。由restoring their good relation可推知，他是写信给他兄弟请求原谅，故选项中只有forgiveness符合题意。选项中excuse用作名词时，一般解释为“理由，借口”而没有“原谅”的意思，故排除。9.选I)。由第二段最后一句wahts worrying you和这个人的感情Thank you可推出，此处说明的是医生治好了他的心病，选项中只有

15、cured符合题意。10.选A)。此处应填动词的圆形。But also make it stronger“使人际关系更加稳固”，it指代a damaged relationship，由此可知，空格处应填表示“修复”的词，选项中的heal则有“治愈，修复”的意思，符合原文意思。treat一般专指医学上的治疗，用在此处不合适。 导读：Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with HYPERLINK http:/

19、ssed o expressed t _blank expressed. (Frightening. and it stays.。这个句子实际是省略了it is的一个带有复杂原因状语从句的句子。原因从句中包含了一个由and 引导的并列宾语从句，在第一个宾语从句中又有一个由when引导的时间状语从句，而在第二个宾语从句中包含一个由until引导的时间状语从句。)I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/variety o variety t

20、_blank variety of signs: headaches, HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/insomnia o insomnia t _blank insomnia and stomach trouble. No H)physical cause could be found.

If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, some

24、one you have weonged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.(If you can think. or just neglected.。这是一个复合句，If引导条件状语从句，条件从句中包含两个宾语从句，一个是由who引导的定语从句，另一个是省略了关系代词的定语从句，即you have wronged, or just neglected。) 全文翻译：要承认你自己的错误，并非易事。作为人来说，我们有必要了解道歉的艺术。用诚实的态度作个回顾，想想自己曾经作过多少次粗鲁的评判，说过多少次不友好的话，或者做过多少次

25、以牺牲朋友为代价而凸显自己的事情。然后清点一下你曾明确并诚恳地表示自己歉意的场合。事实有些令人不安，不是吗？你感到不安是因为我们从内心深处知道，即便犯了一个小小的错误，出于道德情感，会感到心神不安；非要承认错误，表达歉意之后，才能觉得安心。我记得我的一位当医生的朋友，告诉我有个人找他看病。这个人表现出几种不同的症状，头疼，失眠，胃疼，但又找不到任何生理方面的原因。最后，利伯医生对这个人说，“除非你告诉我你的烦恼，否则我帮不了你。”片刻犹豫之后，这个人坦言，作为他父亲遗嘱的执行人，在遗产继承方面，他一直在欺骗他居住在国外的兄弟。当场，这位明智的老医生就要求这个人给他的兄弟写信请求宽恕，并附支票一

26、张作为恢复他们友好关系的第一步。然后，医生陪这个人到走廊里的邮箱去寄信。当信寄出后，此人放声大哭，“非常感谢，”他说，“我想我痊愈了。”他的确好了。真心诚意的道歉不仅能修复已经遭到破坏的人际关系，而且能使这种关系变得更加稳固。如果你想起了某个值得你道歉的人，或者你冤枉过的或仅仅是忽视了的人，那么现在就快去道个歉吧。Passage 2Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.

34、 但由always推知，作者是在鼓励那些想要成为作家的人，而不是怀疑也不是说服，故排除doubt和persuade而选encourage。2.选N)。由空格后的fame可知，此处应填名词。可选项有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/prospects o prospects t _blank prospects和wealth，但由dreaming of 与第二段中The reality is. poor-paying可推知，那些想当作家的人梦想的是金钱和名誉，而不是前途，故排除prospects而选wealth。3.选E)。此处应填形容词，private, poor-payin

35、g一起修饰affair。选项中有lonely和alone,能修饰affair的只有lonely,alone表示“孤独的”时，通常作表语，故排除alone而选lonely。4.选C)。此处应填动词的被动形式。可选项有rewarded和awarded,前者可表示“（为所希望的举动得到的）回报”，后者作动词时表示“颁发，授予”，故只有rewarded符合题意而排除awarded。5.选H)。此处应填名词。“当我辞别了我在美国海岸警卫队20年工作成为一个自由撰稿人时，没有任何可言”，可选项有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/prospects o prospects t _blank

36、 prospects和wealth，但wealth一般指抽象意义上的“金钱”，因此排除wealth而选prospects“前途”。6.选O)。it指代的是apartment building，从had no bathroom可知这个公寓条件很差，选项中只有cold能说明公寓的条件差，故选择O)cold。7.选B)。“我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己就好像是一个的作家”，由前面提到的to become a freelance writer可推知，此处作者是想成为一个真正的作家，故选项中只有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/genuine o genuine t _blan

37、k genuine“真正的”符合题意。8.选D)。由空格前的to可知，此处应填动词的原形。可选项有doubt, HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/persuade o persuade t _blank persuade, HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/encourage o encourage t _blank encourage,但由still hadnt gotten a break在写作上还没有任何进展”，所以此处应理解为他开始怀疑自己的选择是否正确，故doubt符合文意。9.选A)。that从句结构完整，后面有made，故此处应填副词。可选项有ba

38、rely和impossibly，因that引导的从句是对story的解释，再由hard一词可推知，此处应填的副词应表达肯定的意思，故排除impossibly而选barely“仅仅，刚刚”。10.选I)。由空格后的and可知，此处应填名词。由fear of failure可知，所填词应表示不好的境遇，可选项有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/poverty o poverty t _blank poverty和 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/uncertainty o uncertainty t _blank uncertainty;又由fear可推知，此处

39、强调的是生活的变化无常，而不是生活的贫困，故选uncertainty。 导读： Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.

What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. (What I did. my room in.。这是一个复合句，What引导的是主语从句，who引导的定语从句修饰a friend,由此可看出，作者刚

43、开始从事写作时的艰难。)It didnt even matter that it was O)cold and had no bathroom.

46、/Shadow o Shadow t _blank Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream learn to live there. 全文翻译： 很多年轻人对我说他们想当作家。我总是鼓励这样的青年，但同时我也向他们说明“当作家”和写作的区别是很大的。在很多情况下，那些想当作家的人向往的是金钱和名誉，而不是独自守着打字机的漫长日子。我对他们说，“你必须是想写，而不应是想当作家。”事实上，写作是一件令人寂寞，孤独而且报酬又不高的事情。在每一个受到命运之神青睐的作家背后，还有成百上千的不走运的作家，这些人的渴望从没有得到过回报。当我辞别了我在美国海岸

47、警卫队20年工作成为一个自由撰稿人时，没有任何前途可言。我只有一个朋友，他在纽约的一幢公寓里给我找了一个房间。尽管房间很冷而且连洗漱间也没有，不过这都没关系。我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己就好像是一个真正的作家了。然而，大约一年后，我仍然没有任何进展并开始怀疑自己。要卖出一篇暂且可以糊口的作品是如此之难。但我知道我有写作的欲望。这是我多年以来的梦想。我不会像有些人那样，在临终前还在想，当初如果不放弃该多好啊！我会继续接受考验，即使这意味着变化无常的生活和对失败的担心。这其实也是梦想实现以前的一种虚幻的境界，每一个有梦想的人都应该学会在这种境遇中生活。Passage 3The first

48、 modern Olympic Games was held in Athens（雅典)in 1896 and only twelve nations participated. Besides the HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/host o host t _blank host nation man participants were tourists who _1_ to be in Greece at the time. Though the whole affair was _2_ and the standard was not high, the old H

49、YPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/principle o principle t _blank principle of HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/amateur o amateur t _blank amateur sport was kept up.Since then the games had been held every four years HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/except o except t _blank except during the _3_ of the two World War. This was

50、 _4_ a HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/departure o departure t _blank departure from the old Olympic spirit when wars had to stop and make way for the games.The games have grown HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/enormously o enormously t _blank enormously in HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/scale o scale t _blank scale and

51、 _5_ performances have now reached HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/unprecedented o unprecedented t _blank unprecedented heights. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about their _6_ standard. Instead of Olympia, the modern games are now held in different cities all over the world. HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en

52、/Inevitably o Inevitably t _blank Inevitably politics and commercialism get involvedas countries HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/vie o vie t _blank vie each other for(为 而互相竞争) the _7_ to hold the games because of the political HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/prestige o prestige t _blank prestige and HYPERLINK htt

55、d G) end H) powerI) happened J) definitely K) Physical L) informalM) HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/interruption o interruption t _blank interruption N) especially O) irregular 参考答案及解析:1.选I）。空格中要填词为who引导的定语从句中的谓语动词，可知此处应填动词的过去式。可选项有had, occurred和happened,首先空格所在的who引导的定语从句修饰的是tourists“游客”，happened to be in

56、 Greece“碰巧在希腊”是符合这样的语境的，而had to “不得不”和occur to表示“想起，想到”都不能使句意通顺。2.选L）。and引导两个意思相近的并列结构，由the standard was not high“标准不高”可知，此处要填的是和not high语气一致的形容词，再由前两句可知，参赛的国家很少并且有很多很多游客参加了比赛，这说明这次比赛没有那么正式，选项中只有 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/informal o informal t _blank informal符合题意。选项 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/irregular

57、 o irregular t _blank irregular则一般表示“（形状）不规则的，（安排）无规律的”，与句意不符，故排除。3.选M）。从句中的 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/except o except t _blank except可知在两次世界大战中没有比赛，说明的是奥运会因战争而中断。选项中有end和 HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/interruption o interruption t _blank interruption可表示停止，end“终断”，表示某事中断后不再继续，interruption“中断”，表示某事中断后仍然继续，

58、故选择interruption。4.选J）。本句主系表结构完整，由此可知，此处应填副词，修饰整个句子。选项中有definitely和especially，从句意来理解，这违背了古老的奥林匹克精神，将definitely“显然地”带入原文，符合原文的意思；而especially“特别地”表示强调，而此处表示的则是通过比较后得出结果，故排除especially。5.选K）。奥林匹克比赛中的两个最重要的方面就是竞技水平和运动精神，由grown HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/enormously o enormously t _blank enormously in HYPERLI

59、NK http:/kkdic/en/scale o scale t _blank scale可知，现在参加奥林匹克运动会规模渐大，运动员逐渐增多，因此应理解为体育竞技水平达到了前所未有的高度，因此应选physical。6.选D）。此处应填形容词。由Unfortunately和because of the political HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/prestige o prestige t _blank prestige and HYPERLINK http:/kkdic/en/commercial o commercial t _blank commercial p

60、rofit可推出，不幸的是各国竞争举办奥运的目的是为了政治威望与利益，可见此处说明的是与体育成绩相对应的运动会的道德水准没有得到相应的提高，选项中只有moral符合题意。7.选A）。此处应填名词。各国争夺举办奥运会，to hold the games是一种实力象征，也是一种荣耀。选项中有honour和power可选，power一般指“（个人或团体所掌握或获得的）职权”，故排除power而选honour“荣幸”。8.选C）。此处应填动词的被动形式，这里考查的是动词have的一个搭配用法即have something out of something“从中得到”，故这里选这C）had,表示“举办奥
