1-20 BCBAD CADAA DCBBD ACCDB


解析:

1. 答案   B?解析   依據(jù)下文的“Everyone wondered.‘Who is this person that was hindering my growth’”中的“my growth”可以推知,此處指在公司里阻礙自己成長的人,故選B項(xiàng)。ability能力;talent天賦;practice實(shí)踐。

2. 答案     C?解析    作為一個(gè)公司,有人去世,如果讓員工參加葬禮,只可能是邀請(qǐng),而不可能是要求、允許或建議,故選invite。

3.答案     B?解析    依據(jù)句意可知,體育館的這個(gè)房間是被準(zhǔn)備好舉行葬禮用的,所以選prepared。start開始;open開放;create創(chuàng)造,均不符合句意。

4.答案    A?解析   由第一段內(nèi)容可知,此處指公司的員工們都已經(jīng)知曉了這一消息。句意為:知道他們的一個(gè)同事去世后,一開始大家都很傷心。receive收到(指具體的物);notice注意到;find發(fā)現(xiàn)。

5. 答案    D?解析   上文提及剛開始大家都很傷心,后來又對(duì)誰死了感到好奇,二者是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以用表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的連詞but。

6.答案    C?解析    有同事去世了,但誰也不知道是誰去世了,所以此處用curious,大家好奇(地想知道)這個(gè)人是誰,而不可能是生氣、遺憾或者緊張。

7. 答案    A?解析   依據(jù)語境可知,公司的員工們對(duì)于誰去世了很好奇,所以這里指人們來到體育館的時(shí)候,這種興奮“增強(qiáng)”了。用grow能夠很形象地描繪出當(dāng)時(shí)大家的情緒變動(dòng)。而appear出現(xiàn);improve改善,提高;develop發(fā)展,都與上下文不符。

8.答案    D?解析   此處指同逝去的人道別并致以“最后的敬意”,故此處用respect尊敬,敬意。sight視力,看見;attention注意,關(guān)注;appreciation感激,均不符合語境。

9. 答案    A?解析    at least至少;反正;in fact事實(shí)上;at once立刻,馬上;in general總的來說。句意為:誰是阻礙我成長的人呢?嗯,反正這個(gè)人已經(jīng)不在了。故這里應(yīng)用at least。

10.答案    A?解析    由上文提及的“The excitement...as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last...”可知,來體育館給死者送行的都是公司的員工。

11.答案    D?解析    由下文可知,棺材里放置的是一面鏡子,這出乎他們的意料。所以這里用suddenly,表示“出乎意料”。而quickly迅速地;finally最后;obviously顯然地,均不符合語境。

12.答案     C?解析     剛開始人們都覺得棺材里是人,而去了看到里面放著一面鏡子,當(dāng)然極其吃驚。Worry擔(dān)心的;depress郁悶的;embarrass尷尬的,均不符合語境。

13.答案   B?解析   由下文知,人們發(fā)現(xiàn)棺材里面放的是鏡子,由此可推知,阻礙他們前進(jìn)的是他們自己,這猶如有人“觸動(dòng)了”他們的心靈深處,所以用touch。

14.答案   B?解析  由語境及文章第一段The sign said...再結(jié)合空前的also一詞可以得知答案為sign。

15.答案    D?解析     read表示“(告示牌、標(biāo)志物上)寫著……”之意。其實(shí)依據(jù)文章第一段知,該處也可以用said,但不可以用wrote。

16.答案    A?解析    set limits to...給……設(shè)限,為固定搭配。句意為:只有一個(gè)人能給你的成長設(shè)限,那就是你。

17.答案    C?解析    由下文的“Your life does not change when your boss changes”及“when you realize that you are the only one...for your life.”可知,這里說的是:你是唯一能夠改變你的生活的人。所以用life。

18.答案     C?解析    句意為:你是唯一能夠影響你的幸福、認(rèn)知和成功的人。這里強(qiáng)調(diào)你對(duì)這一切的影響力。

19.答案    D?解析   文章告訴我們,我們之所以在成長進(jìn)步中受到阻礙,是因?yàn)槲覀冏约航o自己設(shè)限了,所以我們要想改變這一切,就必須越過……,go beyond在此表示“越過……”。

20.答案    B?解析   當(dāng)認(rèn)識(shí)到你是唯一能夠?qū)ψ约荷钬?fù)責(zé)的人……be responsible for對(duì)……負(fù)責(zé)。
