77、oundings周围的情况。答案：D2Astrongly BweaklyCseriously Ddeliberately解析：由下文可以看出，比尔盖茨坚信勤奋工作(可以使人成功)。strongly坚定地；weakly弱地；seriously严重地；deliberately故意地。答案：A3Ause up BconsumeCapply Dwaste解析：句意为：如果你聪明，并且知道如何应用你的智慧，你就能成功。apply在这里表示应用；use up用光；consume消耗；waste浪费。答案：C4Agenerous BcompetitiveCkind Dfriendly解析：这几个词都可以描述
78、盖茨，但从下一句可以看出，这里说的是决定他事业成功的方面，所以应该选择competitive(有竞争力的)。而generous慷慨的；kind善良的；friendly友好的，均不合题意。倒数第二段的倒数第二句话“.just hard work and competitiveness”有暗示。答案：B5A.qualifications BdisadvantagesCqualities Dquantity解析：这里指的是上一句所说的ambitious，intelligent.，也就是他的品格，所以用quality。qualification资格；disadvantage不利条件；quantity数
79、量。答案：C6Aplant BprofessionCcompany Dfirm解析：这里指的是他所选择的职业(profession)。plant植物，工厂，发电厂；company公司；firm商号，公司。答案：B7AStill BAsCAs long as DSince解析：still在这里用作连词，意思是尽管如此，表示转折，尽管他数学和科学成绩很好，但是仍然对学校感到厌烦。as long as表条件，since和as表原因。答案：A8Aimpress BimproveCfeed Drefresh解析：feed向提供。句意为：为了让他忙碌起来，他们尽量向他提供更多的信息。impress留下极深

81、：A11Atired with Binterested inCrich in Dbored with解析：由下文的and formed“Programmers Group”可以看出，他们对电脑非常感兴趣。be interested in对感兴趣；be rich in有大量的；be tired/bored对厌烦。答案：B12Awrote BregisteredCenrolled Dgot解析：enroll登记(名字等)。句意为：他不知道该干什么，于是就报名学习法学预科。write写；register登记，注册；get得到，都不符合句意。下一句有暗示“.signing up”，可知选C。答案：C1
82、3Aspecial BspecificCunimportant Dstandard解析：standard标准的。这里指刚入学时，他学习了大学新生的所有规定课程。special特别的；specific明确的，具体的；unimportant不重要的，无意义的。答案：D14Amost interesting BtoughestCfavorite Dpopular解析：tough棘手的，费劲的。解答此题的关键是正确理解短语“with the exception of”的意思：除之外。既然是没有报名学这门课，这门课就一定是他感到最费劲的。most interesting最令人感兴趣的；favourite
83、喜爱的；popular受欢迎的。答案：B15Apicked out Bdropped outCset out Dtook out解析：由常识或者下文的“Then he formed Microsoft.”可以看出，他退学了。drop out意思是“退学”，符合句意。这几个选项都可以和out搭配，但意思各不相同：pick out选出；set out出发，开始；take out取出。答案：B16Ato achieve BachievingCdreaming Dto dream解析：由语境可知，盖茨努力工作是为了实现自己的梦想，而不是做梦。所以要用动词不定式表目的。achieve达到目标；dream
84、做梦。答案：A17Atears BpassionCluck Defforts解析：根据文意及本句中“or God”可知选C。答案：C18Afriend BvolunteerCvictim Dcompetition解析：盖茨在软件方面取得了如此大的成功，占了巨大的市场，对其他软件公司来说，他的微软公司自然是一个很大的竞争对手(competition)。而不是朋友(friend)；志愿者(volunteer)；更不是受害者(victim)。答案：D19Amean BgenerousCoptimistic Doutstanding解析：由下文“donated 38 million dollars for the building of a computer institute”可以看出，在这一方面他是非常慷慨大方的(generous)。mean吝啬的；optimistic乐观的；outstanding杰出的。D项有很大的干扰性，但与语境不符。答案：B20Agive away Bgive outCgive back Dgive off解析：其实这一段介绍的是盖茨的慷慨。句意为：并且他计划到年老的时候，把自己毕生收入的95%都捐赠出来。give away分发，捐献；give out用尽，耗尽；give back归还，送回；give off发出(气味、热等)。答案：A
