94、ldren in the family.They take chances and they often do better in life.本文为议论文。有人认为家庭中孩子的出生顺序是很重要的，通常最大的和最小的孩子容易得到重视和照顾，中间的孩子却常被忽视。其他人也拥有不同的看法。56it解析：考查固定句型。有些人认为你出生后在家庭中的位置是很重要的。it在这里作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的where you were born in your family。在英语中习惯用it作形式主语来代替后面的主语，故填it。 57who解析：考查定语从句。本句中的先行词是oldest children
95、，在非限制性定语从句中充当主语，指人，要用who，故答案为who。58to_succeed解析：考查固定搭配。有人说，聪明、意志坚强的长子(女)很可能成功。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“可能做某事”，所以本空填to succeed。59for解析：考查固定搭配。the reason for.为固定搭配，意为“的理由”。句意：这个观点的理由很简单。故答案为for。60the解析：考查定冠词。same常与定冠词the连用。the same reason意为“同样的理由”，故填the。61happens解析：考查谓语动词。本句中的动词happen在句中作谓语动词，主语是w
96、hat ，所以谓语动词要用单数。且文章整体时态为一般现在时，故填happens。62lost解析：考查固定搭配。 get/be lost in.，为固定搭配，意为“迷失，消失”，故填lost 。63differently解析：考查词性转换。副词一般修饰动词、形容词或副词。分析句子可知，此处应用副词differently作状语修饰动词saw，故答案为differently。64their解析：考查形容词性物主代词。主语是they，此处指的是在他们的生命中。句意为“在他们的生命中没有很多机会”，故答案为their。65orders解析：考查名词的数。分析句子可知，他们通常服从命令(orders)。
97、order在此是泛指，且是可数名词，因此本题用order的复数形式，故填orders。第四部分：写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)现在越来越多的女士加入了减肥大军，最近你们班就此事展开了讨论。60%的同学赞成，40%的同学反对。请你写一篇英语短文，短文应包括下表中的内容：注意：1.对所给要点，不要简单翻译，要有适当发挥；2词数80左右。参考词汇：毅力perseverance；看重take sth.seriouslyAs we know，more and more ladies are beginning to lose weight in different ways
