【解析】
36.主要测试形容词的词义区别:令人高兴地 ;悲伤地 ;普通的 ;惊讶的。结合具体的语境译文如下:遇到务实的人会令人高兴地。可知最佳答案。
37.主要测试动词的词义区别:遇到 ;迎接 ;受到 ;接受。结合语境可知译文:务实的人容易交流,并且容易平等地接受其他人。
38.主要区别所给的四个选项名词的词义:情况 ;种类 ;相反 ;例子。由语境可知译文:务实的人恰好和高傲、自大的人相反。所以最佳答案为opposite。
39.主要测试情态动词的词义区别:一定 ;可能 ;应该 ;将要。译文如下:当然,务实的人可能是社会中重要的成员。但是他们不会让自己的重要性冲昏自己的头脑。故此最佳答案也就明了啦。
40.主要测试四个连词的词义区别,结合第39题的译文可知最佳答案为but。
41.主要测试具体语境中动词的搭配:consider sb to be 结构。结合语境可知译文:他们不会把自己看的比那些不太重要的人更加重要。至此答案一目了然。

43.从文中的句子:There is 43 way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.可知译文如下:高傲的人不可能务实。另外结合上下语境可选答案。
44.主要测试动词的词义区别:发现 ;发现 ,找到 ;制造 ;使用 。文章第三段的译文如下:美国人使用了另外一个差不多和“务实”一样的短语。也就是“脚踏实地”。脚踏实地的人就是对现实有深刻理解的人。他拥有所谓的“常识”。也拥有梦想,但是他绝不会让梦想阻挠自己现实的知识。从以上的译文可知,应该选择use属最佳。
45.主要测试文章的上下语境,结合第44题的译文即可选择答案。

50.由文中的句子:A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose 50 is not in the real world.可知译文如下:不切实际的人是个空想者,他的_____不符合实际。在结合四个答案:想法 ;生活 ;身体 ;头脑。所以答案一目了然。
51.主要测试副词的词义区别:总是 ;因此 ;然而 ;有时。再结合文章的具体语境可知选:有时,属于最佳。
52.由文中句子: 52 words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.的译文:老师____话语通常会让一名空想的学生比较务实。可知:和老师搭配的应该是严厉的话语,故此选择sharp。

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
