10、.C 从小开始父母就“教会”(teach)我们犯错是不好的，故选C项。5.A 正因为我们认为犯错是不对的，因此我们总是尽量(try to)不去犯错。try to do sth.意思是“尽力去做某事”，故选A项。6.B 在这四个选项中，意义和home及school最接近的是work(工作)。7.B 由该段末句中的“make learning as well as growth”可知，此处指grow(成长)。8.D 有用的(useful)事物才值得去珍惜(value)和庆祝(celebrate)。9.A 犯错让我们学习和成长成为了“可能”(possible)。也就是说，只有通过犯错，我们才有可能(
11、possible)从中学习并成长起来。10.D 思考一下我们是如何“学习”的。这里的“learn”和上文的“learning”及本段的“learn”属于原词复现。11.B 由指示代词“those”(那些)可知，此处指的是前面刚刚提到的“mistakes”(错误)，故选B项。12.C 句意：我们小时候总是在犯错中学习，等到长大成人后就获得了许多经验。learn from意为“向/从学习”。13.A 答案由第12题的答案解析可知。grow up表示“长大；成长”之意。14.D 破折号在此表示解释说明，我们从来没尝试过的事情/事物对我们而言就是“新的”(new)。故选D项。15.A 假如你在某方面成
12、功了，那就表明你有可能已经知道如何做某事了。succeed 和success是同源词。succeed in(doing)sth.意为“在成功”。16.C 答案由本段最后一句中的“the journey will be”可知，它们是原词复现。17.B 句意：没有了错误，生命之旅就会寂寥，“毫无意义”(make no sense)。18.D 根据本段第二句“It makes our life more colorful and is beneficial”可知，犯错在我们生活中很“重要”(important)。19.C 根据and表示的并列关系可知，该词和growth意义接近，而四个选项中deve
13、lopment(发展)最合适。故选C项。20.B 句意：下次犯错的时候，不要灰心，“而是”(instead)要用微笑来迎接它。(二)Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment.There used to be 1 people on the earth,and natural resources seemed to be 2 .However,today things are 3 .The world has become too crowded,which is known as populat

22、ent)。4.D 我们正在把自然资源“消耗殆尽”(use up)。5.D 既然污染环境，自然是有害的或是“危险的”(dangerous)化学物品，故选D项。6.B 倘若我们“继续”(continue)这样下去，人类将会在地球上消失，也就是“存活”(survive)不下去。7.A 答案由第6题的答案解析可知。8.B 如果大海里过量的鱼被捕捞，剩下的(left)鱼就会越来越少。9.D 句意：然而，有了先进的捕鱼技术，越来越多的鱼被抓(caught)。10.A 如果过多的树木被砍伐，森林也会荡然无存(disappear)。11.A 尽管我们意识到要是河流被严重污染，我们的生命也会受到威胁，但废弃物仍
23、然“被丢弃”(thrown into)在河里。12.D 要是人口再以目前的速度“增长”(rise)，在未来的若干年，食物将会严重不足。enough表示“足够的”。13.C 答案由第12题的答案解析可知。14.B 那么，我们要怎么做才能“解决”(settle)以上这些问题呢？settle在此相当于solve。15.B 如果我们多吃些蔬菜，少吃点肉，将有更多的食物“可利用”(available)。16.C 根据空格后的“such as”可知，所填的词是上义词，它在意义上包括“rice,corn and wheat”，故crops(庄稼)最合适。17.B 由空格后的“instead of”(而不是)
24、可知，不要随意丢弃资源，而是要循环使用(recycle)。18.D 假如使用了现代的节育方法，人口就不会那么快速(rapidly)增长了。19.C 倘若我们教育(educate)人们要重视环保，我们所居住的地球将会越来越美好。20.A 和better并列，且和话题pollution相关的，在四个选项中无疑cleaner(更干净)是最佳答案。(三)I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important

33、坚信耐心倾听是与人沟通、拉近心理距离的最基本、最有力的方式。认真倾听既表示对别人的尊重，同时也让对方释放压力和不良情绪。1.C 最重要的是彼此之间要集中注意力(attention)。2.D 尤其是要用心(heart)倾听。3.B 由前文的“Just listen”和下文的“Just take them in.”可知，这里是说倾听(listen)。4.A 既然是听(listen)，自然是对方在“讲”(saying)什么。5.D 据第二段所举的例子可知，有时倾听比理解更加重要(important)。6.B“我”的其中一位病人说当她“努力”(try to)想要讲述她的故事时7.B 别人往往会“打断”
34、(interrupted)那位病人的话。8.A 由于多次被打断，那位病人“最终”(finally)拒绝和大多数人说话。9.C 根据首句“to connect to another person is to listen.”可知，答案选C项。10.B 当我们打断别人讲话的时候，我们就把听众的注意力集中(focus)到我们身上。11.A 答案由本段最后一句中的“When they have cried all they 15to cry”可知。12.C“我”后来“意识到”(realized)给哭泣者递纸巾是让他们倾诉痛苦和伤心的往事的另外一种“方式”(way)，故答案选C项。13.A 答案由第12
35、题的解析可知。14.D 在四个选项中，和pain(痛苦)意义最接近的是sadness(伤心)，因此选D项。15.A 他们需要(need)哭多久就哭多久。其他选项不符合语境。16.B 根据本段第二句“It certainly went against everything”可知，倾听尽管听起来简单，但是学起来“不容易”(not easy)。17.C 句意：它和“我”年轻时在学校被授(taught)的内容相悖。18.D 根据常识，有时倾听是出于“害羞”(shy)或是不知道答案。19.C 有时沉默(即认真倾听)更能体现出它的力量，因为它是连接(connect)双方心灵距离的桥梁。20.D 与sile

47、bration是原词复现。9.A 句意：在世界读书日那天，越来越多的人涌进图书馆或书店读各类书籍。crowd into 表示“大批涌进”，故选A项。10.C 句意：大多数人在世界读书日那天读大量的书籍，他们相信能够通过读书来改变自己从而进一步改变世界，故选C项。11.D 由常识可知，读书让我们更加睿智和博学，故选D项。learned在此相当于knowledgeable(知识渊博的)。12.C 句意：读书帮助我们了解科技发展的新动态。latest意为“最新的”，故C项是最佳选项。13.D 因have a better understanding of意为“对更了解”，and连接的两部分是并列关系
48、，D项的knowledge最符合语境。14.D 在四个选项中，和cultures(文化)意义最接近的是customs(风俗；习俗)，因此D项是最佳答案。15.A 句意：阅读也是学习外语的一个很重要的方式(ways)，故选A项。16.B 由常识可知，我们很难也不太可能(impossible)在课堂上学到一切知识。difficult和impossible之间存在递进关系，故选B项。17.A 句意：通过阅读，我们可以“获悉；了解”(learn)现代英国人的生活和工作方式。故选A项。18.B 阅读可以帮助我们了解到(know about)更多关于外界的知识。19.C 上句提到读各种各样的书可以让我们更

70、ne)假如没有汽车的话，生活会变成什么样子。4.A 由下句的“poisonous”(有毒的)和“damaging”(有害的)可知，空气污染是个很“严重的”(serious)问题。5.B 由上一句“Some have realized the serious problem of air pollution”得知，空气是“受到污染的”(polluted)。同时，第三段的第一句“One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build”也提示了答案所在。6.D 由下句“Thats what several of the large car factori
71、es have been trying to do.”可知，很多车厂在致力于制造对环境无污染的汽车，故答案是pollute。7.C 结合第6题可知，很多车厂在“努力”(trying)制造对环境无污染的汽车。8.B 由第三段第一句“One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.”可得知，要制造一辆“无污染的”(clean)汽车是不容易的，故答案是clean。clean和“to build a car that does not pollute”是近义复现。9.A 根据上一句话中的“ea
72、sier said than done”可知，在这个领域的进展很“缓慢”(slow)。10.D 前面提到one way is，此处用another，由此可推知这里讲的是另一种“方法”，故选D项。11.A 既然是“take the place of the car engine by something else”，那么工程师们自然是研制“新”(new)车了。12.A It takes+人+时间 to do sth.“耗费某人做某事”。本题也可以运用排除法。last“持续”；count“数；重要”；add“增加”，这三个选项皆不符合语境。13.B 句意：很多制造商都相信要耗费多年的时间才能制造出
73、一辆实用的、让人类满意的汽车。please sb.=satisfy sb.“让某人满意”。而trouble“打扰，令烦恼”、concern“让担心”、shock“让震惊”很明显不符合语境。14.C 由for example后面的例子可知，为了减少汽车对世界环境的影响，我们必须对目前的生活方式作出一些“变动”(changes)。make changes“作出变动”是最佳选项，而其他的选项 make mistakes(犯错)、make preparations(作准备)和make promises(作出承诺)都不符合语境。15.D 句意：例如，美国人必须“减少”(cut down on)他们汽车的
74、总“数量”(number)。常识告诉我们，汽车的数量少了，对环境的污染自然就会少，故答案是number。17.C 和“go to work by bike”对应的是“cycling”(骑自行车)，故C项是最佳选项。18.D 由破折号后面的内容可知，假如汽车工厂倒闭，大量的工人就会失业，因此这样的变革是不“轻易”发生的，所以答案是easily。19.A 由该空后的“if a car factory shuts down”可得知，假如工厂倒闭，大量的工人就会“失业”(without jobs)。此外，本段第二句“And the problem of air pollution would beco
75、me less important than that of unemployment.”也提示了该空的答案。20.B 由该空后的“they have also brought us new problems”可知，该空填的是一个褒义词，根据搭配和结合选项higher(更高)、better(更好)、safer(更安全)和faster(更快)，无疑better(更好)是最佳答案。(七)Everybody might make mistakes or do something wrong.However,its never easy to1 you are wrong because it tak

83、并非每个人都有勇气去面对或承认错误。其实主动道歉不光可以修复关系，还可以加深友谊。1.D 根据常识可知，“承认”(admit)错误需要很大的勇气，故选D项。2.B 由下文“youve expressed clearly you were sorry”可知，我们需要学习“道歉”(apology)的艺术。3.C 在四个选项中，只有sorry和embarrassed在意义上最贴近，再结合常识，人犯了错往往会感到后悔、难过或尴尬，故选C项。4.B 答案由上一句“Think how often youve done wrong and made mistakes.”可知，故选B项。5.A 由逻辑关系可推
84、知，“假如”(if)我们不做点什么的话，就会心里不安，故选A项。6.D 由冒号后面的词所表示的意义可知，有个病人带着种种“症状”(sign)来求医。此处的sign相当于symptom(症状)。7.C 根据but表示的转折关系可知，经过仔细检查，医生发现他一点问题都没有，故用nothing wrong，故选C项。8.B 医生对病人说：“只有告诉我是什么困扰(trouble)着你，我才能帮你。”故选B项。9.A 由同一句的dishonesty(不诚实；不诚信)可知这个人骗取(cheat)了他兄弟的财产，答案选A。10.D 该男人骗了他兄弟的财产，因此心里感到“内疚”(guilty)，故选D项。11
85、.A 聪明的医生让他写信给他的兄弟(道歉)并且退还他的财产。此处的money和上一句中的“possessions”是同义词，故选A项。12.A 既然是write to(写信)，那么投进信箱里的自然是“信件”(letter)了。13.B 下一句“Thank you”一词，表明该男子的“病”已经好了(get well)。由此可知，此处表示由于没有了困扰，他突然“兴奋地”(excitedly)叫了起来。14.C 答案由第13题的答案解析可知。15.D 医生叫男子向他兄弟写信道歉这一做法“挽救”(save)了他们破裂的关系，故选D项。16.C 根据not onlybut also表示递进关系可知，道歉
86、不仅挽救了亲情，并且令其加深(stronger)，故C项最符合语境。17.C 假如你想起(think of)还应该向某人道歉，就应该马上行动起来。18.D 你向对方道歉，那么apology是你给(give)别人的。在四个选项中只有D项最贴切。19.A 若想弥补，永不嫌“晚”(late)，故选A项。20.B 纵观全文可知，向别人道歉可以挽救且“促进”(promote)双方的关系，故选B项。(八)Stepping into the new century,environmental pollution has become increasingly serious than ever before

96、保护环境。1.B 由such as表示列举可知，这里是指污染的类型，故选B项。2.B 据该空后的“wherever we go,pollution is around us”可知，我们的生存环境“充满”(full of)了各种污染。3.C 句意：所有这些污染来自(come from)哪里呢？故答案选C项。4.A 结合常识可知，地球上的人口在不断增长(growing)，这也是导致环境污染的一个重要原因，故选A项。5.D 因为trees和coals都是资源/能源(energy)，而sources则是“源泉；源头”之意，故选D项。其次，由下一句的“the growing needs for ener
97、gy”也可知选D项。6.D“满足需要”用词组meet ones needs来表示，故选D项。7.A 由于私家车的激增，导致汽油短缺(run out)，而run out of则是“把消耗完”之意，故选A项。8.B 因为汽油匮乏，政府不得不通过抬高它的价格来控制(control)对它的需求。9.D 即使这样，仍然(still)起不到很大的作用/也没什么效果。work在此处是“产生作用”的意思。10.C 根据常识，对资源的过度开采会破坏/影响(affected)生态的平衡。11.A 和前面的polluted(受污染的)相对应的是dirty(脏的)，故选A项。12.B 环境被严重污染，故我们有必要(n
98、ecessary)做点事情。13.C 句意：政府应该立法来预防环境进一步变糟糕(get worse)。14.A 句意：人们也应该了解环保的重要性(importance)，故选A项。15.C 句意：我们应该找到经济发展和环境保护的平衡点(balance)。16.A 句意：同时我们还应该多种树木来绿化沙漠和停止(stop)乱砍乱伐。17.B 句意：禁止工厂直接(directly)把废水排放到河里。18.D 句意：鼓励人们少驾私家车，多乘公共(public)交通工具。和private相对的是public。19.C 句意：政府和平民应该“携手”(work together)来让我们的家园变得干净新鲜起来，故选C项。20.D 句意：只有这样，我们所居住的地球才会更美好(better)。THANK YOU!
