17.B

18.G

19.F

20.C试题分析：作者在本文中呼吁我们一定要抓住今天，抓住现在，不要拖延，只有这样我们才会成功。16.E根据横线后一句I’dsay,toomany.我要说，太多了。这是对36句的回答，说明36句应该是一个疑问句，选项中只有E项Howmanytimeshaveweputoffourdreamsuntiltomorrow?是询问的是这一问题。说明我们经常会把今天的事情推迟到明天。故E项正确。17.B根据本段最后两句Don’tgotoyourgravewithunfulfilleddreams.Makethedecisiontogoaftereverydream,bigorsmallrightnow.不要到坟墓里再去追求梦想，现在就决定追求梦想，无论梦想是大还是小，立刻就要开始。也就是说不要拖到明天。在根据本段第一句Nobodylikestotalkaboutdeath,buttherealityis–everybodyisgoingtodieatonepoint.没有人知道自己什么时候会死亡。可能是明天，也可能是后天。所以明天并不保证你会成功。故B正确。18.G根据本段标题Theworldiswaitingonyourgift这个世界都在等待你的天赋。也就是说世界上的美国人都要发挥自己的天赋和才干。因为每个人的天赋和才干都是独一无二的。选项中只有G项“Youwerebornintotheworldwithauniquegift,whichnobodyonthisearthcancopy.”和该段的主题一致。19.F根据本段第一句YoucandreamaboutwritingthegreatAmericanplaythatyouwant,butit’snevergoingtohappenunlessyouactuallyputpentopaper.可知如果你不开始写作，你就不可能成为伟大的作家。也就是说要采取行动，你的梦想才会实现。20.C本段讲述的是我们要采取行动，梦想才会实现。前一句Youcandreamaboutfindingacureforcancer,butitwillneverhappenunlessyouactuallygotoschooltobecomeequippedwiththenecessarytoolstofindthatcure.你想找到癌症的治愈方法，但如果你不去学校学习有关的知识，这是不可能会发生的。还是在强调要采取行动才能实现目标。C项“Inotherwords,dreamsdon’tworkunlessyoudo.如果你不去做，梦想是不会实现的。”符合本段的中心思想。三、阅读理解18.ArecenttrendinCaliforniarestaurantsshowsneweatinghabitsamongthoseouttohaveaninterestingdiningexperience.Appetizer（开胃品）seemtobethenameofthegamesasdinersturnawayfromthemoretraditionalthree-coursemealinfavorofsmallersnackssampledinvarioustypesofrestaurants,barsandcafes.Inthisway,inthecourseofaneveningout,youmightgotoarestaurantforatastydishtoeatatoneendoftown,toabarwithsomelivemusicattheotherend,thenforacoffee,andfinallybacktotherestaurantforafurtherappetizer.Reasonsforthistrendarethefactthatsomanydifferenttypesofrestaurantshavebeensetuprecently,eachwiththeirownparticulartypeoffoodandspecialatmosphere,combinedwiththeincreasedqualityinthetypeofsnacksbeingoffered.Gonearethecheesesticksoftheolddays,whenappetizerswerenotreallytakenseriously.Somefavoritesnacksofthemomentareslicesofhotpizza,creamyfish-baseddishesandcrispycakesandsoon.Pricesforappetizersarcnotequaltoafullmeal;however,theirnewpopularityhasmeantthatarebynomeansascheapastheyusedtobe.Certainly,
