A. pleasantB. sadC. common D. surprising解析由下文“A person who is downtoearth is easy to talk to.”
50、以及上文的“honest, practical and easy to deal with”可以推断：遇到脚踏实地的人是一件令人惬意的事情。 答案A 2. A. meets B. welcomesC. receives D. accepts解析脚踏实地的人很容易与人相处，他们将其他人都视为平等的。accept.as“认为是，把当作”。 答案D 3.

53、认识。 答案A 11. A. demands B. lacksC. has D. likes解析这类人具备一种被称为“常识”的东西。has与上文的“with a good understanding of reality”和下文的“He may have dreams”相对应。 答案C 12. A. fortunes B. dreams C. achievements D. disadvantages 解析这里的“dreams”与上文中的“reality”相对应，说明实际的人有梦想但不脱离实际。 答案B13. A. block B. protectC. own D. gain解析block是“
54、阻碍”的意思。脚踏实地的人善于把握现实，他们可能有梦想但不会让这些梦想阻碍他们对现实的认知。 答案A 14. A. idea B. peopleC. attitude D. person解析上文说到的是实际的人，这里当然是指与之相反的另一类人。后面谓语是单数，故不能选B。 答案D 15.
