地方?jīng)]有學(xué)校和老師后，就把所有的錢都捐給慈善機構(gòu)了。他認為成功不是用你有多有錢衡量，而是你對

生命真諦的理解來衡量。

11題詳解】

witho

量”，應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)；結(jié)合句意可知，此處是在陳述客觀真理，用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)，主語success為

不可數(shù)名詞，故謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。故填isnotmeasured。

【14題詳解】

考查并列連詞。句意：“成功不是用你有多少錢來衡量，而是用你對生活真諦的理解來衡量的?！苯苌f。

【答案】24.A25.C26.B27.D

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者通過講述一個年輕女子努力實現(xiàn)自己目標(biāo)的故事，來表達如果沒有

一個強有力的理由或目標(biāo)，生活中的任何事情都是困難的。

【24題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段"IoncemetayoungwomanwhohaddreamsofswimmingfortheU.SOlympicteam.

Shehadtogetupeverymorningat4a.m.toswimfor3hoursbeforegoingtoschool.Shedidnotpartywithher

friendsonSaturdaynight.Shehadtostudyandkeephergradesup,justlikeeveryoneelse.（我曾經(jīng)遇到過一位年

輕女子，她夢想成為美國奧運代表隊的一員。她每天早上4點起床，游泳3個小時后才去上學(xué)。星期六晚

上她沒有和朋友聚會。她必須學(xué)習(xí)，保持好成績，就像其他人一樣）”可知，文章以一個年輕女子的故事開

頭，所以是舉例子開頭。故選A項。

【25題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中"Shesimplysaid,“IdoitfbrmyselfandthepeopleIlove.It，slovethatgetsmeover

thehurdlesandsacrifices."（她只是說，“我這么做是為了我自己和我愛的人。是愛讓我克服障礙和犧牲。“）”

可知，此處是年輕女子在解釋是什么讓她一直堅持，所以前面是作者在問她是什么促使她有如此超人的野

心和犧牲，所以compelled此處是“促使”之意，與forced意思相近。故選C項。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Firstthe"don*wants”,fortheycreatethe"wants”.（首先是"不想要”，因為它們

創(chuàng)造了“想要“）”可知，“想要”來自“不想要”。故選B項。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題題。根據(jù)第六段中“Ihavelostmoneyandbeensetbackmanytimes,butitwasthedeepemotional

reasonsthatkeptmestandingupandgoingforward.Iwantedtobefreebyage40,butittookmeuntilIwas47

withmanylearningexperiencesalongtheway.（我已經(jīng)失去了錢，多次被挫敗，但正是深層次的情感原因讓我

站起來繼續(xù)前進。我想在40歲時自由，但我直到47歲才實現(xiàn)，一路上有很多學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷）”以及第七段“Iwish

Icouldsayitwaseasy.Itwasn,t,butitwasn'thardeither.Butwithoutastrongreasonorpurposeanythinginlifeis

hard.（我希望我能說這很容易。不是，但也不難。但如果沒有一個強有力的理由或目標(biāo)，生活中的任何事情

都是困難的）”可知，后文是對劃線句子的解釋，所以從劃線的句子中了解到，在現(xiàn)實中，沒有更深層次的

情感原因，我們可能會遇到更多的障礙。故選D項。

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的"Whenaskedaboutobesity,75%ofmanagerssaidthatbeingoverweightis

a"seriouscareerimpediment（妨礙）Dotheseresponsesreflectourobsessionwithweightlossandmirrorthe

的職業(yè)障礙”。這些回應(yīng)是否反映了我們對減肥的obsession,并反映了流行文化中不斷報道的瘦削形象?）”

可知，當(dāng)被問及肥胖問題時，有高達75%的管理者表示，超重是“嚴重的職業(yè)障礙”。因此下文問到了“這

些回應(yīng)是否反映了我們對減肥的癡迷”。obsession為名詞，表示“癡迷、著魔"，與craze互為同義表達。故

選A項。
