而且往往寿命短得多。这意味着，尽管雄心勃勃的人更有可能获得传统意义上的“成功”，但这种成功对他们的健康和幸福毫无意义)”可知，后文与本句构成转折，推测本句是在说明有野心的人成功的方面，后文则指出失败的方面。故D选项“有野心的人往往比没有野心的人在财富方面更成功”符合语境，故选D。【20题详解】根据上文“Clearly,someamountofambitionisgoodforyourmotivation.(显然，一定程度的野心对你的动力是有好处的)”以及后文“Buttoomuchambitioncanalsobedangerous,puttingyouatriskofburnout,stubbornnessandevenashorterlife.(但野心太大也可能是危险的，它会让你精疲力竭、变得固执，甚至寿命更短)”可知，本句承接上文，说明一定程度野心的具体好处。故G选项“没有雄心壮志，你就不会创业，不会设定或实现目标，也不会在生活中走得更远”符合语境，故选G。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。BriePetershadapassionformusic.Shegrewupsinginginschoolchoirs,learningpianoand____21____peoplewithhermusicalabilities.Itwasalmosta____22____forhertopursueadegreeinmusic,althoughsherecallsnowthatshealsothoughtaboutgoinginto____23____atthattime.Butmanypeopleinherlife____24____hertomajorinvocalperformance,soshedid.“IalwaysfeltlikeIwastoldwhattodo,neverhavingachoiceformyself,”sherecalls.Hermusiccareershowedinstant____25____aftershegraduatedfromcollege.Shesanginfrontofthousandofpeopleworldwide.Butsoonshebegantofeelthattherewasmoreshecoulddo.“Workingwiththousandsofpeopleinlargegroups____26____atimewasn’t____27____enoughforme,”shesays.“I____28____theeyecontactandthepersonalcarethattrulymakesadifference,”Sheadds.Shewastednotimeandbegan____29____herdegreeinnursingrightaway.Petersisnowcelebratingher____30____intotheMasterofNursingprogramattheUniversityofMinnesota.She’s____31____beginninghernursingjourneylater.Sheadmitsthatnursingishardworkandcanbe____32____,buthas____33____doubtedthatit’sworthit.“Peopleeintoahospital____34____forhelp.Itissuchan____35____tobeapartofthatandspendmylifecaringforthoseinneed,”shesays.21.A.stimulating
