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作計劃，從容對待；只有愚蠢的人不能正視現(xiàn)實，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識到了人民對死亡的負面印象，為此，他們對保險代理商進行培訓時，要求他們在推銷中避免使用直率的語言，而努力以恰當?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)濟上為此做好充分的準備。

六、作文(1題)96.假設(shè)你的朋友叫楊立，是優(yōu)秀學生。校報請你寫一篇介紹他的短文。他的基本情況是：現(xiàn)在讀高二，是班長，是全班學習最好的;最喜歡學習英語和數(shù)學;愛好體育，課余常踢足球，還是學校游泳隊隊員;經(jīng)常幫助別人。注意：(1)基本情況不可遺漏;(2)要有標題;(3)詞數(shù)為100左右。

參考答案

1.D解析：本題考查動詞搭配。doone'shomework“做作業(yè)”；makemistakes“犯錯誤”。句意為：做作業(yè)，還要保證別犯錯誤。

2.D

3.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；comeagain：再說一遍，重復一遍；comeout：出來，傳出。

4.Blaunch為“發(fā)射”講；其余為干擾項。

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

6.A本題考查祈使句型：

【應試指導】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”。

7.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那里。

8.C

9.Bsetout意為“出發(fā)，動身”。

10.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

11.B

12.A

13.B

14.D本題考查時態(tài)。

【應試指導】句意：當你寫信回家的時候，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。

15.D

16.B

17.D

18.B

19.B

20.A

21.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廣引導的從句中，謂語動詞應用“should+認”，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。

22.D

23.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。

24.D

25.C

26.B解析：此處是對將來情況的假設(shè)。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構(gòu)成主謂部分倒裝。

27.D

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

29.D

30.B

31.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點”；imports“進口”，故正確選項為B。

32.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)實方面會有困難，相信故事中的事確實存在。

33.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，所以動詞用復數(shù)形式。

34.C

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

36.Dapplyto應用；applyfor申請

37.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節(jié)來描述，而我卻認為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

38.C

39.A

40.B解析：表示否定的副詞前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒裝，即助動詞提前。其余選項均可排除。除Notuntil外還有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副詞或結(jié)構(gòu)放在句首時，句子需要部分倒裝。

41.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)應根據(jù)句意而定。

42.D

43.C

44.A【句子大意】新打字機的價格是二手貨的三倍。

45.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。

46.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。

47.C解析：本題考查詞義的辨別。rise出現(xiàn)，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

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

49.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”。由題意知應選A。

50.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?！痹谒膫€選項中，只有A項的justas有“正如，猶如”的意思。故選A。

51.后面是解釋原因為什么喜歡，有比較的含義，所以，這里也應是表示對比的。選項A是正確的。

52.IwenttothecinemaonSunday/Isawafilm(movie)onSunday

53.B

54.C

55.D

56.D

57.D

58.F

59.F

59.E

60.B

61.B本題為近義詞辨析題。watch一般指“注意地看，觀察”；discover意為“探索，發(fā)現(xiàn)”；findout意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)(隱藏在背后的)事實”；notice“注意到，看見”。根據(jù)上下文，“我”走在街道上碰巧看見一個皮包在路旁。

62.C

63.C解析：本句的意思是：然而，時間與工效之間的關(guān)系并不總是成正比的。A項意思為“生產(chǎn)，產(chǎn)量”；B項意思為“產(chǎn)品，產(chǎn)物”；C項意思為“效率，工效”；D項意思為“有成效的”，productive為形容詞。顯然C項符合題意。

64.A解析：盡管他的母親整日以淚洗面并為他祈禱，他仍不思悔改。mendone'sway表示“改過自新”。

65.A

66.A

67.B

68.A

69.A解析：inthat(因為，既然)是個詞組，表示原因，相當于because/since；選項B(以至于)、選項C(如此……以至于)和選項D(除了)都不符句意。

70.C解析：她的表現(xiàn)證明她很能干而且有效率。able是“能干的”。

71.Thelittlegirl’ssongsbroughtsunshine/happinesstotheoldmanandhelpedhimtobearthehardshipsoflife.
