17．B　lucky“幸運的，僥幸的，吉利的”。你會問自己：“為什么我沒有這種好運氣呢？”前文的have all the luck和下文的“But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that...”也有暗示。 18．A　put themselves in a place“使他們自己處于有運氣的地方”。成語“設身處地”可譯為：put oneself in other's position。 19．C　create“創造，創作，創建”。第三段的第三句“But than man created his own luck...”有暗示。語境為：在某種程度上，他們(那些成功的人們)學會了如何“創造”自己的好運。 20．C　talk about“談論”。下句“I'm talking about hard, honest work”有暗示。 21．D　practical“實際的，實踐的，實用的”；adequate“充分的，適當的，勝任的”；meaningful“有目的的，有意義的”；honest“誠實的，可靠的，直率的”。前句“I'm talking about

　　dishonest or illegal ways”暗示此處應填honest。 22．A　下句中的“they themselves are not good at doing”表明這里填ask，短語ask for help表示“尋求幫助”。 23．B　習慣搭配be good at表示“擅長”。然而對自己不擅長的事情，他們學會了向別人求助。 24．A　limit“局限，界限，限度”；pressure“壓力”；strength“力量，優點”；ability“能力，才智”。前句說“我們不僅要充分地發揮自己的特長”，因此本句是說“我們還必須知道自己的局限和弱點”。out limits and weaknesses對應our own special strength。 25．B　always“總是，一直”，表示頻率非常高。由語境“那個人靠總是早早地來到辦公室創造了自己的好運”可知，這里應選always。而不是“偶爾、很少、從不”早到辦公室。 26．C　realize“認識到，了解”；promise“充諾，答應”；admit“承認”；convey“運輸，表達”。根據空后的“when he was wrong”(當他犯錯誤的時候)可推斷，他勇于“承認”(admit)錯誤。 27．D　上一空后的when...狀語從句有暗示。語境為：當他做了大部分工作的時候，他仍然與他人分享榮譽和獎賞。 28．B　get by“混過，湊合，勉強應付”。get over“克服，忍受，痊愈”。語境為：他永不滿足于僅僅做普通的工作，不會得過且過，他總是追求盡善盡美。 29．B　make the extra effort“付出額外的努力”。名詞effort總是與make搭配。 30．A　take“花費”；afford“買得起，承擔得起”；obtain“獲得，得到”；adapt“(使)適應”。句式it takes...to do something表示“做某事需要……”。語境為：他們必須努力工作，盡一切努力走到運氣和成功降臨的路上。 31．A　otherwise“否則，要不然”，引出相反的結果。語境為：否則，我們就會因為沒有準備好而錯失良機。 32．D　approach“途徑，方式，方法”；administration“管理，經營，支配”；action“行動，活動，行為”；attitude“態度，看法”。語境為：你從不會知道適當的機遇何時來臨，那個關鍵的人物何時注視著你出色的態度和表現。 33．D　短語in the hands of somebody/in somebody's hands表示“命運掌握在某人的手中”。語境：如果你讓自己的生活處于上帝的掌控之中…… 34．A　watch“保護，留心，注視”；adopt“采用，采納，收養”；affect“影響”；catch“逮住，捉住，抓住，追上”。重要的人物(上帝)一直在注視你和你所做的事情。本段第二句中“when the right, important person is watching your...”部分有暗示。 35．B　根據下句bless your life in many ways可推測本空填reward“報酬，報答，獎賞，報償”。語境為：你時時、事事都盡力使他(上帝)愉悅，上帝就會用很多方式(好運氣)來獎賞你。 Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it's other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling

　　important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

　　So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval(贊同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一劑毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

　　But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build

　　our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.

　　So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life. 36．What Oscar Wilde says implies that ________. A. we have thoughts similar to those of others B. most people have a variety of thoughts C. other people's thoughts are more important D. most people's thoughts are controlled by others 答案與解析：D　第一段提到我們被別人接受是一個不錯的體驗。因此學會盡一切可能讓別人喜歡，正像Oscar Wilde提到的，許多人就是別人，他們的思想是別人的觀點，故選D項。 37．What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph? A. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom. B. We may lose ourselves to please others. C. We need to pay for what we want to get. D. The price of taking the drug is freedom. 答案與解析：B　第三段中提到如果僅靠別人的觀點生存，我們會把自己的生活建立在沙灘上，每個人都有自己的不同的思考方式，而且人們會隨時改變想法，如果一個人想取悅于每一個人，他會以誰都沒取悅而告終。作者的意思是總是想取悅別人是很危險的事，會失去自我。 38．It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A. it's better to do what we like B. we shouldn't care what others think C. we shouldn't change our own opinions D. it's important to accept others' opinions 答案與解析：B　從文章最后一句可知，我們由自身內部驅動，而不是別人的觀點，我們會過一種更主動、有效的生活，因此推測你不能太在意別人的看法，而是要在意自己的。 39．The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ________. A. analyzing causes and effects B. providing examples and facts C. discussing questions D. making suggestions 答案與解析：A　作者分析聽別人的原因和會有什么后果，故選A項。 Ⅳ.短文改錯 Dear Editor， I'm writing to tell you about how we students use computers in our daily lives.
