人生不是上帝为谴责我们的缺陷而给我们布下的陷阱。人生也不是一场拼写比赛，不管你拼出多少单词，一旦出现了一个错误，就会前功尽弃。人生更像是一个棒球赛季，即使最好的球队也会输掉三分之一的比赛，即便最差的球队也有春风得意的日子。我们的目标就是多赢少输。当我们能够接受不完整是人性的一部分这个事实时，当我们的人生不断滚动并能欣赏其价值时，我们就会获得其他人仅渴望的完整人生。我相信这就是上帝对我们的要求：不求“完美”，不求“永不犯错”，而是求得人生的完整。

六、作文(1题)66.Directions：Youaretowritein100-120wordsonthetopicGlobalShortageofFreshWa-ter.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：反问疑问句的陈述部分是肯定式时，疑问部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反问疑问句，疑问部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以选项A是正确的。

2.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

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.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。

6.B考查反义疑问句。原句应是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反义疑问句的规则是陈述部分是肯定式，疑问部分应是否定式。Wouldthink表示推测，疑问部分也应选择would。选项B是正确的。【句子大意】你难道还认为他已经忘掉了，是吗?

7.C所有的学生都去看了昨天的魔术表演。它太令人不可思议了。这里主要考查的是动词的现在分词和过去分词的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么样。Sb．bedone表示某人处于某种状态。例：Theletteristouching．这封信令人感动。

Iammoved．我很感动。

8.B

9.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。

10.A解析：根据上文提到“findone”，故下文中也应填one，表示泛指。

11.B解析：本题考查固定搭配的用法。当否定词位于句前时，得出结论应用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故选B。

12.B

13.Bsetout意为“出发，动身”。

14.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。

15.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)

16.C

17.B解析：表示否定的副词前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒装，即助动词提前。其余选项均可排除。除Notuntil外还有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副词或结构放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装。

18.A本题考查祈使句型：

【应试指导】句意：Mary，到这里来，其余的人待在原处。根据句子的结构可判断出这是个祈使句。所以要用动词原形开头。Mary在句中不是

主语，而是“呼语”。

19.C解析：副词so置于句首，句子应该用倒装语序，某人受伤用sb.beinjured来表示，故答案为C。

20.D

21.Goodhealthdependsonfood,freshairandenoughsleep.

22.Asourproductshaveagoodreputationbothathomeandabroad,theirdemandisincreasingyearbyyear.
