25、hemsomuchonlymakesusblindaboutthefactthattherearethemiraclesthathappenarounduseveryday.”可知,作者认为,一味地抱怨会让我们忽视生活中美好的东西。3.B通读本段可知,作者告诉我们要知足常乐。因此选B项。4.C本文告诉我们,我们要学会感恩,知足常乐,做一个快乐的人。四、1.C由下一句中的“Theyfearedtheviolentstorms.”和本段最后一句可知,人们担心暴风雨,大部分人不愿意到他的农场工作。2.B表达“席卷海面的”暴风雨应用介词across。3.C此处指招聘工作人员的农场主(farmer)会见
26、那些应聘工作的人,其他几项均不合句意。worker“工人”;applicant“申请人员”;reporter“记者”。4.A此处表示他得到的是一连串的拒绝。动词receive的含义是“得到;接待”;buy“买”;sell“卖”;bring“带来”。由句意可知A项正确。5.Awell可表示程度“很,非常”,可以和介词短语连用,此处表示“远远超过了中年”。6.A根据第六段中的“IhavetoldyouthatIcansleepwhenthewindblows.”可以得出答案。7.B到最后一段农场主才明白他所雇用的这个人所说的话的含义,因此此处应选puzzled(迷惑的)。8.C因为这个人是来应聘的
27、,因此此处是“雇用”。fire表示“解雇”;scold“责备”;hire“雇用”;order“订购;命令”。9.B由上文的“busyfromdawntodusk”可推知,农场主对此人很满意。disappointed“失望的”;satisfied“满意的”;excited“激动的”;tired“疲惫的”。10.A表示“风刮得大”,可用副词hard但不能用hardly来形容;表示“风刮得大”也可以用blowloudly。11.Ajump表示“跳起来”,可以表现出农场主的紧张和动作的迅速。而rise,get和fall与后面的rushed不吻合。12.B外面在刮大风时,农场主让他的雇员起床。13.Dt
28、ie“捆,绑,系”,此处用tie表示“捆绑好东西,以免被风吹走”,其他选项与句意不符。let“让”;put“放置”;lay“放置;产卵;下蛋”。14.A根据下面这个雇工所说的话可知,他只是“翻个身”,并没有“起床”,应用rollover。15.D由下文他匆忙跑到外面可知,农场主并没有当场解雇这名雇员。由此知,此处表示转折,应用instead。16.C当看到一切安排就绪时,农场主的感觉应是“意外,惊奇”。A、B两项分别意为“预料”“想象”,显然与上下文不吻合;D项意为“难过”,句意不通。17.D根据上句意思可知此处表示“没有东西会被风吹走”,A、B、C三项显然不对。18.D此处表示“明白了雇工的
29、意思”,what充当meant的宾语。which“哪一个”,不合句意;that在宾语从句中只起引导词的作用,不充当成分;how是副词,做状语。19.A根据上文这名雇工之所以能够睡得踏实是因为他提前做好了准备,本空意为“做好准备”,而不是“结束”,“下定决心”或“鼓励”。20.D根据句意“做好一切准备,就没有什么可担忧或害怕的”,fear“担心,害怕”,符合句意,其他选项与句意不符。beat“击打,击败”;win“获胜,赢得”;desire“渴望,想要”。五、1.writer2.whose3.restrictions4.unbearable5.who/that6.valuable7.touchi
