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，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。

六、作文(1題)66.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopic"HowIFinanceMyCollegeEducation".Youshouldwriteatleast120words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow：1.上大學(xué)的費用（tuitionandfees.可以通過多種途徑解決；2.哪種途徑適合于我（說明理由）。

參考答案

1.C所有的學(xué)生都去看了昨天的魔術(shù)表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動。

Iammoved．我很感動。

2.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。

3.B解析：cuts“裁減”；shortages“短缺”；weaknesses“弱點”；imports“進(jìn)口”，故正確選項為B。

4.A

5.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。

6.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

7.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。

8.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。

9.D

10.A

11.C

12.B

13.D

14.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。

15.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。

16.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。

17.B

18.D

19.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。

20.B

21.安全第一也許意味著多花一點時間和精力但卻可省去你很多麻煩。安全第一也許意味著多花一點時間和精力，但卻可省去你很多麻煩。
