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。

参考答案

1.B

2.B

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

4.A解析：favor：帮助，一般用domeafavor；good：好处；help不与do搭配：kindness：善良。故选A。

5.A

6.B

7.D

8.B解析：本题考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困难”。句意为：有时孩子们在分清故事和现实方面会有困难，相信故事中的事确实存在。

9.B

10.D解析：本题考查动词搭配。doone'shomework“做作业”；makemistakes“犯错误”。句意为：做作业，还要保证别犯错误。

11.D解析：本题测试形容词辨析。四个选项的意思分别是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正义的”，“仅仅的”。根据句意，D项正确。本句大意为：他仅仅把它作为一个细节来描述，而我却认为它是这个计划中最重要的部分。

12.C

13.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。

14.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。

15.C

16.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

17.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)

18.A本句考查两个并列句之间的连接的词。题干的意思是：“气球能够浮在空气中正如船能够浮在海面上一样。”在四个选项中，只有A项的justas有“正如，犹如”的意思。故选A。

19.C

20.C

21.D

22.A

23.D本题考查时态。

【应试指导】句意：当你写信回家的时候，请代我向你的妻子问好。在时间状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

24.B解析：encourage：鼓励、鼓舞；discourage：使泄气；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根据句意只有选B。

25.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。

26.B

27.D解析：forgetdoingsth．忘了已做过某事。注意区别forgettodosth。忘了而没有做某事。

28.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

29.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”。

30.D

31.C

32.C解析：本题考查词义的辨别。rise出现，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

33.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。

34.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。

35.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。

36.A

37.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。

38.A

39.D

40.D

41.D

42.Dapplyto应用；applyfor申请

43.B

44.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。

45.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。

46.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。

47.C

48.B解析：takemeasures意思为“采取措施”，本句应用被动语态。

49.B

50.B解析：此处是对将来情况的假设。虚拟条件句的谓语部分为should，had或were时，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在从句的主语之前，构成主谓部分倒装。

51.【提示】本题立足于日常表达。平日里，人们可用不同的说法表达相同的意思，因此此题比较灵活，答案不唯一，符合题意和口语表达方式即可。1.【答案】untilaftermidnightlastnight【解题指要】根据中文提示得知Bill昨晚看电视一直到后半夜，因此应填入untilaftermidnightlastnight。2.【答案】Didyouwatchsolate【解题指要】根据中文提示“她问Bill是不是感到无聊才看到这么晚”，以及下文提到“因为无聊”，因此应填入Didyouwatchsolate。3.【答案】ifIhavenothingbettertodo【解题指要】根据中文提示“Alice说她通常是感到无事做才看电视”，此空应填入ifIhavenothingbettertodo。4.【答案】becauseIleftmyschoolbaginataxi【解题指要】根据中文提示“Bill说他把书包忘在了出租车上”，此空应填入becauseIleftmyschoolbaginataxi。5.【答案】afterIturnedofftheTV【解题指要】根据中文提示“可关上电视机，心情反而更糟”，此空填入afterIturnedofftheTV。【参考译文】Alice：今天天真好，你觉得呢?Bill：大概是这样的。我没有留意天怎么样。我感觉很糟糕，因为昨晚看电视一直到后半夜。Alice：一直到后半夜!你是不是感到无聊才看到这么晚呢?我通常是感到无事做才看电视。Bill：无聊?我昨天心情不好，因为我把书包忘在出租车上了。Alice：那看电视有没有使你心情好些呢?Bill：看电视时心情好一点，暂时让我忘记了那些烦恼。可关上电视机，我心情反而更加糟糕，因为我又浪费了那么多时间。
