A．might chooseB．might have chosen
C．should have chosenD．could choose

分析 他有可能已经选择了另一个事业，但是那时候他没有足够的钱上大学．

解答 答案：B
解析：A：或许选择（一般过去时）；B：可能已经选择了（对过去的虚拟）；C：本应该选择（而实际未选择）；D：可能选择（一般过去时）．根据后面的"但是那时候他没有足够的钱上大学"可知前面句子是对过去的虚拟，故A、D选项直接排除；C选项代入原句后不符合句意，故排除（因为是没钱这一客观原因使得他未能选择另一事业，而并非自己主观不选）；B选项代入原句符合句意．综上，本题答案为B选项．

点评 本题考查情态动词的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及其它要求确定最终的答案．

1．Air pollution is getting more and more serious in many places around the world．The fact that public parks in cities become crowded proves that people long to breathe in green，open spaces．And，in these surroundings，they are generally both peaceful and peaceable．It is rare to see people being at odds or even fighting in a garden．It seems to be proved that if human beings can freely breathe and share air，there is no primary reason for them to struggle with one another．
       But do we only sense what life could be when we enjoy green spaces？
       The plant world silently shows us what a reflection of life truthfully is．It also helps us to a new beginning，urging us to care for our breath．We must，in turn，care for it，opposing any sort of pollution that destroys both our world and that of plants．The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is what exists between ourselves and the plant world．Often described as"the lungs of the planet"，the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen．But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit．If we continue to pollute the air by filling it with chemicals and destroy the ability of plants to restore it we will soon pull our world into an unavoidable disaster．
      Humans must learn to share life，both with each other and with plants．This task can be carried out only when each takes it upon her 一 or himself 一 and only when all work together．The lesson taught by plants is that human life can only exist with nature．We must come to view the air，the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the protection of life and growth，rather than productive objects we can use and throw away freely．Perhaps then we would finally begin to live，rather than merely survive．

B．To pursue a comfortable life．
C．To gain a higher social status．
D．To seek economic benefits．
53．What does the author try to draw our closest attention to？B
A．The massive burning of fossil fuels．

D．Large-scale deforestation across the world．

5．Born in 1949，Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion．Like many young athletes，she had Olympic dreams，but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games．The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward．Instead，she became interested in marathon swimming．A brilliant athlete，she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water．As a long-distance swimmer，she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance，danger，cold，and exhaustion．
    For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers．In 1970，she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario，setting the women's record for the course．In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida．Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975．
    Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in l978．Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide，it is rough and dangerous．After battling the water for two days，she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety．Even so，she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed．For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba．That is how she defined success．It did not matter that her swim came up short；she believed she had touched the other shore．
    When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer，she continued to try new things-travelling the world as a reporter，writing books and giving public speeches about her life．Diana Nyad works to inspire others，just as she did when she swam the waters of the world．

Or：She swam a ten-mile marathon，setting the women's record．

13．I'm seventeen．I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles．People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars．It was hard work．
While working，you wear a plate with your name on it．I once met someone I knew years ago．I remembered his name and said，"Mr．Castle，how are you？"We talked about this and that．As he left，he said，"It was nice talking to you，Brett．"I felt great，he remembered me．Then I looked down at my name plate．Oh，no．He didn't remember me at all．He just read the name plate．I wish I had put"Irving"down on my name plate．If he'd have said，"Oh yes，Irving，how could I forget you？"I'd have been ready for him．There's nothing personal here．
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders．One of these was：you couldn't accept tips．Okay，I'm outside and I put the bags in the car．For a lot of people，the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me．I'd say，"I'm sorry，I can't．"They'd get angry．When you give someone a tip，you're sort of being polite．You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say，"Oh，thanks a lot．"When you say，"I'm sorry，I can't．"they feel a little put down．They say，"No one will know．"And they put it in your pocket．You say，"I really can't．"
It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you．It was not in agreement with the store's belief in being friendly．Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good．I just couldn't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas．One lady actually put it in my pocket，got in the car，and drove away．I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something．
I had decided that one year was enough．Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed．I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up．

24．What can be the best title for this text？B
A．The Art of Taking Tips
B．Why I Gave up My Job                  
C．How Hard Life Is for Box Boys
