身體健康的人不愿意去想死亡的事，死亡是我們希望避免的話題。但是死亡是普遍的人生經(jīng)歷，是人人都要面臨的少數(shù)必然之一。理智的人對必然的死亡預(yù)作計劃，從容對待；只有愚蠢的人不能正視現(xiàn)實(shí)，希望用某種方法逃脫死亡。人壽保險對必然的死亡提供理智的安排。只要對自己的死亡能夠直面對待的人才能充分理解人壽保險的必要性。人壽保險公司充分認(rèn)識到了人民對死亡的負(fù)面印象，為此，他們對保險代理商進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)時，要求他們在推銷中避免使用直率的語言，而努力以恰當(dāng)?shù)姆绞阶尶蛻魝円庾R到：人終究會死，人人都會面臨死亡，必須要客觀地接受自己的比如死亡才能在經(jīng)濟(jì)上為此做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。

參考答案

1.D

2.A

3.B

4.A本句考查兩個并列句之間的連接的詞。題干的意思是：“氣球能夠浮在空氣中正如船能夠浮在海面上一樣。”在四個選項中，只有A項的justas有“正如，猶如”的意思。故選A。

5.D本題考查時態(tài)。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：當(dāng)你寫信回家的時候，請代我向你的妻子問好。在時間狀語從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時。

6.B解析：本題考查動詞固定搭配的用法。deprive后常接介詞of，表示剝奪什么。

7.A

8.B解析：本題考查固定搭配的用法。當(dāng)否定詞位于句前時，得出結(jié)論應(yīng)用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故選B。

9.C解析：句子的前半部分是主語從句，主語從句中的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)根據(jù)句意而定。

10.D

11.C

12.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：Mary，到這里來，其余的人待在原處。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出這是個祈使句。所以要用動詞原形開頭。Mary在句中不是

主語，而是“呼語”。

13.B

14.A解析：本題考虛擬語氣在名詞性從句中的用法。在“ask(advise，desire，ordersuggest，require，etc。)+the廣引導(dǎo)的從句中，謂語動詞應(yīng)用“should+認(rèn)”，should可以省去，再結(jié)合語態(tài)，故A項正確。本句大意為：他們要求所有的必要文件都必須在月底之前交到校長辦公室。

15.A解析：此題考查反意疑問句的用法。主句為祈使句，因此其反意疑問句用willyou。

16.C解析：notonly…butalso連接主語時，謂語動詞根據(jù)就近原則由butalso后的成分來決定。TomandMary是兩個人，所以動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

17.D

18.C

19.Dapplyto應(yīng)用；applyfor申請

20.B

21.A

22.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應(yīng)該用倒裝語序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來表示，故答案為C。

23.D解析：本題測試形容詞辨析。四個選項的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個細(xì)節(jié)來描述，而我卻認(rèn)為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

24.B解析：本題考查固定搭配。havetrouble(in)doingsth.“做某事有困難”。句意為：有時孩子們在分清故事和現(xiàn)實(shí)方面會有困難，相信故事中的事確實(shí)存在。

25.A解析：反問疑問句的陳述部分是肯定式時，疑問部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反問疑問句，疑問部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以選項A是正確的。

26.A

27.B解析：theeducationsystem是主語，謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)；thedesiredresults意為“期望的結(jié)果”。

28.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因?yàn)椤保籭f意為“如果”；since意為“因?yàn)椤?。根?jù)題意選A。

29.B解析：encourage：鼓勵、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

30.D

31.C解析：本題考查倒裝虛擬語氣用法。本句是表示與將來事實(shí)相反，所以從句用wereto形式。句意為：如果他今天出發(fā)的話，他就會在星期五以前到達(dá)那里。

32.B

33.D

34.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。給她臉上澆些水，或許她會醒過來。本題考查詞組辨析。comeround：過訪，繞道而來，蘇醒過來；comeback：回來，恢復(fù)；comeagain：再說一遍，重復(fù)一遍；comeout：出來，傳出。

35.A

36.B考查反義疑問句。原句應(yīng)是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反義疑問句的規(guī)則是陳述部分是肯定式，疑問部分應(yīng)是否定式。Wouldthink表示推測，疑問部分也應(yīng)選擇would。選項B是正確的?！揪渥哟笠狻磕汶y道還認(rèn)為他已經(jīng)忘掉了，是嗎?

37.A

38.A解析：favor：幫助，一般用domeafavor；good：好處；help不與do搭配：kindness：善良。故選A。

39.A解析：shape意為“(女人的)姿態(tài)，身段”；form意為“形狀，形態(tài)”；appearance意為“外表，樣子”；body意為“身體”。由題意知應(yīng)選A。

40.D解析：上句責(zé)備瑪麗應(yīng)該做作業(yè)而不是坐到那兒看電視，下句是瑪麗對媽媽責(zé)備的一種辯解：“你說過電視是有教育意義的?！彼訢項正確。

41.C

42.C

43.D解析：從句中的問句主謂不倒裝。從句的時態(tài)隨主句。我想知道那輛車的價格。

44.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意為“特別地”。

45.A解析：根據(jù)上文提到“findone”，故下文中也應(yīng)填one，表示泛指。

47.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

48.B

49.D解析：which修飾非限定性定語從句，指代前邊一句話。本題涉及句法知識——簡單句、并列句和復(fù)合句。例如：Hehastwodaughters.Theyaredoctors.(簡單句)Hehastwodaughtersandtheyaredoctors.(并列句)Hehastwodaughters,whoaredoctors．(復(fù)合句)

60.E

61.C解析：測試動詞詞組掌握。reachup這里意思為“(手)伸向上方(的口袋)”。

63.D解析：beaware=understand

64.B

65.A解析：詞語搭配題。nomore是成語，意為“不再”。例：Thereisnomorelefttobesaidaboutit．(對這件事再也沒有什么可以說的了。)

66.D

67.A解析：遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，用then。

68.C
