身体健康的人不愿意去想死亡的事，死亡是我们希望避免的话题。但是死亡是普遍的人生经历，是人人都要面临的少数必然之一。理智的人对必然的死亡预作计划，从容对待；只有愚蠢的人不能正视现实，希望用某种方法逃脱死亡。人寿保险对必然的死亡提供理智的安排。只要对自己的死亡能够直面对待的人才能充分理解人寿保险的必要性。人寿保险公司充分认识到了人民对死亡的负面印象，为此，他们对保险代理商进行培训时，要求他们在推销中避免使用直率的语言，而努力以恰当的方式让客户们意识到：人终究会死，人人都会面临死亡，必须要客观地接受自己的比如死亡才能在经济上为此做好充分的准备。

FreshWater.YoushouldbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow

：1.人们认为淡水是取之不尽的

;2.实际上淡水是短缺的;3.我们应当怎么办。

参考答案

1.A解析：此题考查反意疑问句的用法。主句为祈使句，因此其反意疑问句用willyou。

2.D解析：which修饰非限定性定语从句，指代前边一句话。本题涉及句法知识——简单句、并列句和复合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(简单句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(复合句)

3.C解析：本题考查倒装虚拟语气用法。本句是表示与将来事实相反，所以从句用wereto形式。句意为：如果他今天出发的话，他就会在星期五以前到达那里。

4.D

5.D解析：上句责备玛丽应该做作业而不是坐到那儿看电视，下句是玛丽对妈妈责备的一种辩解：“你说过电视是有教育意义的。”所以D项正确。

6.D

7.D解析：从句中的问句主谓不倒装。从句的时态随主句。我想知道那辆车的价格。

8.C解析：句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

9.C解析：notonly…butalso连接主语时，谓语动词根据就近原则由butalso后的成分来决定。TomandMary是两个人，所以动词用复数形式。

10.A

11.A解析：本题考虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the广引导的从句中，谓语动词应用“should+认”，should可以省去，再结合语态，故A项正确。本句大意为：他们要求所有的必要文件都必须在月底之前交到校长办公室。

12.B解析：theeducationsystem是主语，谓语动词应用单数；thedesiredresults意为“期望的结果”。

13.C

14.A

15.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

16.A

17.B解析：本题考查动词固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介词of，表示剥夺什么。

18.C

19.B

20.A解析：while意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；if意为“如果”；since意为“因为”。根据题意选A。

21.D

22.Ifyouinsistoncarryingoutthisexperimentyouwillhavetoanswerfortheconsequences.
