试题分析:到达人生目的地时,我们会发现:人生当中我们所费尽心力一直追求和负担的,都毫无价值,因为一切都生不带来死不带去。
【1】C考查动词词组辨析。A. brought about“导致;引起”;B.got over“越过;克服”;C.came across “碰到;遇到”;D.dealt with“处理”,根据下句“And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour.”在瞬间的停顿之后,这只蚂蚁总会绕道而行。可知,该句句意应为:“它在路上,好几次都‘遇到’了障碍物。”,故该题正确答案为C.
【2】D考查形容词辨析。A. brave“勇敢的”;B.tiring“累人的”;C.magic“有魔力的;不可思议的”;D.short“短暂的;短的;矮的”,根据语境可知,该处语意应为:“经过一阵‘短暂的’思考之后,”故该题正确答案为D.
【3】B考查形容词辨析。A. frightened“受惊的”;B.attracted“被吸引的”;C.annoyed“恼怒的;气恼的”;D.satisfied“感到满意的”,上文叙述了小蚂蚁遇到障碍物会绕道而行,而遇到10毫米的裂缝时,它又把自己带着的羽毛放在那条裂纹之上,然后从羽毛上走了过去,到了对面又拾起羽毛,然后继续它的行程。这些显然体现出这只小蚂蚁的智慧。所以该句句意应为“我被这只蚂蚁的聪明‘吸引了’。”,故该题正确答案为B.

【7】A考查形容词辨析。A .underground“地下的”;B.lonely“孤单的;荒凉的”;C.comfortable“舒服的”;D.small“小”,该定语从句修饰其先行词“花坛里的一个小洞”,这个洞是通向他的“地下的”家的入口。该处并不强调蚂蚁窝的舒适度和其大小,只是说明蚁穴的常识性特点:在地下。故该题正确答案为A.
【8】B考查名词辨析。A. partner“伙伴;搭档”;B.match“比赛;火柴;对手”;C.parent“父母”;D.friend“朋友”,且meet one's match:1. 棋逢敌手,遇到对手 2. 碰到棘手的事。而根据下一句“How could that large feather possibly fit such a small hole?”可知,大羽毛和小洞穴让蚂蚁“遇到棘手的事”。故该题正确答案为B.
