16、ate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to expr
17、ess these abilities，it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family i
18、n the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand，it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to be miserable and consider t
19、hemselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success，but if one has selfconfidence it would be unfortunate to set ones goals at a too low level of achievement.A wise man once said to

24、很好的疗效。apparent显然的；strange 奇怪的；complex 复杂的；uncertain 不确定的。3C考查部分倒装。否定短语by no means置于句首时，主句部分倒装。此处it作形式主语。4B考查动词时态。句意：你猜我是谁？对不起，我忘了你的名字。slip ones mind被遗忘。根据上下文语境应该用现在完成时。5B考查非谓语动词。indicate意思是“预示，显示”，和其逻辑主语evidence为主谓关系，也就是说evidence是indicate的动作发出者，所以用现在分词表示主动。6C考查短语辨析。句意：许多人认为要跟只会说“是”或者“不是”的人维持一段对话很难。b
25、reak off意为“折断”；focus on意为“集中于”；keep up意为“保持，继续，跟上”； listen to意为“听”。根据句意可知C项正确。7C考查习惯用法。It occurs/occurred to sb.that某人突然想起8D考查冠词用法。第一空表示“一项早期网上调查”用an；第二空the majority of意为“大多数”。9B考查动词辨析。announce宣布，述说，播报；declare宣布，声明，断言；indicate表明，指出，预示，象征。这里是指“墙上的箭头指明”，故选B。10A考查动词辨析。react to反应，影响；contribute to贡献；adap
26、t to适应；turn to 求助于。此处表示“政府作出反应”，所以选择A。11A考查固定用法。The reason whyis that“的原因就是”，why引导定语从句，that 引导表语从句。12D考查名词性从句。句意：外太空是否存在像地球上一样的生物现在还不能证实。whether引导主语从句。13D考查动词短语辨析。根据句意，这里表示“收留”，故用take in。worry about为担心；bring up教育，抚养；give up放弃。14A考查固定句型。likely意为“很可能”，Its likely that意为“很有可能”；easily意为“容易地”；probably是副词，
27、意为“大概，或许”；nearly意为“差不多，几乎”。句意：他还没找到另一份工作。他在短期内得到一份工作是不可能的。故A项正确。15D考查情景交际用语。根据语境，问句是提出请求而非建议，故不能选A, with pleasure是对建议的回答，意为“当然了，很乐意”，选项B和C不恰当。故选择D项， by all means(一定，务必)表示肯定回答，符合句意。.生活中总是有许多令人失望、沮丧和烦恼的时候，但当我们的生活很美好时，为什么要浪费时间去自寻烦恼呢？16C根据下文内容可知，此处表示“每个人都能看出他们对彼此的爱是真诚的”。17B本空后面的部分是妻子给丈夫提议的内容，因此答案选B，prop
28、osal意为“提议，建议”。18D结合下文可知，妻子在杂志上读到的是关于如何巩固婚姻的文章，故答案选D，strengthen意为“加强，巩固”。19A依据语境，在一张纸上写的内容应该是对方使自己不愉快的事，故答案选A，annoying意为“恼人的，使人烦恼的”。下文“that annoyed them about the other”也有提示。20A商量解决问题的目的是使生活更幸福，因此答案选happier。21D由“So each of them went to a _ room and thought of the things that annoyed them about the ot
29、her.”可知，丈夫同意了妻子的提议。22B根据语境推断，此处指夫妻俩各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。23C接着他们都在思考这个问题，并且把他们想到的都写下来。fit in with适合，与一致；look up to尊敬，尊重；come up with想出，提出；face up to敢于面对。24Ago over查看，细看；carry out执行，实施；answer for对负责；look for寻找，期待。第二天早上，他们决定看看彼此写的缺点。25C既然“It had many items on it”，那么应该是“足足写满了三页”。26C由下文“Whats wrong？”可推断，此处表示
30、“丈夫的脸上显得有些悲伤”。27B根据“Nothing”以及下文“The wife continued to read”可知，此处表示“继续念吧”。28B妻子又接着念，一直把整整三页内容向丈夫念完。29A依据上文内容，妻子向丈夫提议双方各自写出对方的小毛病，目的是使他们的生活更幸福，因此，当她说“现在该你念了，然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点”这句话时，心情是很高兴的。happily“高兴地，愉快地”；miserably痛苦地，悲惨地；slightly轻微地，稍微地；cautiously谨慎地，小心地。30D由“I dont have anything on my list.”可推知“丈夫觉得妻子这样
31、就很完美了”，因此答案选D。31B丈夫觉得妻子很完美，所以他不想尝试来改变她。32A由“turned her head and wept”可知，妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱所“感动”，因此答案选A。33C因为丈夫没有写妻子的任何缺点，也不想让妻子为自己改变什么，由此可知，丈夫接纳了妻子的全部。34D根据连词连接成分对等可知此处选depressed，意为“沮丧的，消沉的”。inspired激动人心的；excited兴奋的；satisfied满意的。35D由“We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty，light and promise.”可知，该处表示“我们不必浪费时间”，因此答案选waste。.在本篇文章中，作者从不同的角度定义了成功。36C推理判断题。由文章第一段的最后一句可知，因为我们每个人拥有的遗传的能力和有利的环境不同，所以我们对成功的定义很宽泛。由此可以推断，作者认为能力和环境是取得成功的基本条件。37B细节理解题。文章第二段倒数第二句指出，有的人已经很富有了却认为自己不成功，这是因为他们是根据自己的目标判断成功与否的。38C推理判断题。文章最后一句指出，在没有尽全力做自己喜欢的事而失败之前，失败都不算是真正的失败，由此可推知，C项正确。
