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。

参考答案

1.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。

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

3.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

4.B

5.B解析：cuts“裁减”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱点”；imports“进口”，故正确选项为B。

6.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。

7.C

8.B

9.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。

10.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?

11.B

12.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。

13.C

14.A解析：shape意为“(女人的)姿态，身段”；form意为“形状，形态”；appearance意为“外表，样子”；body意为“身体”。由题意知应选A。

15.D

16.A

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

18.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。

19.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。

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

21.A

22.A

23.C

24.D

25.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。

26.D

27.D

28.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。

29.D

30.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。给她脸上浇些水，或许她会醒过来。本题考查词组辨析。comeround：过访，绕道而来，苏醒过来；comeback：回来，恢复；comeagain：再说一遍，重复一遍；comeout：出来，传出。

31.C解析：much用在句中修饰比较级better。

32.B

33.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。

34.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。

35.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。

36.B

37.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。

38.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。

39.Dapplyto应用；applyfor申请

40.D

41.B

42.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。

43.C

44.D

45.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。

46.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。

47.D

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

49.C

50.C

51.H

52.Elwouldn’twantasmallwedding
