解析:
|
(1) B 小孩子希望他们是成年人,老人希望他们是年轻人,与old相对,填young. (2) D 意为:最快乐的人是那些充分享受每个年龄给予他们的,而不去浪费时间做无用的后悔. (3) A 由2题句意可知. (4) C to make life difficult是responsibilities的结果状语. (5) A raise在此为“养育”,因为后面有whatever he may do,所以不可能填supported. (6) A 由句意,应填“不可能”,注意“again”. (7) D 由句意,应填“给予”. (8) D what's more,“另外”的意思,用来提出另一理由或方面. (9) D 理解句意,此空便迎刃而解;另外,生活总给孩子新东西,这些东西对于年龄大一些的人来说已丧失了兴趣,因为他们太熟悉了. (10) C 由(9)题可知. (11) A pains为痛苦,与文意一致. (12) B again and again意为“反复地”、“再三”,once in a while偶尔. (13) C 由文意可知. (14) B “开始独立生活”用start. (15) B pay for sth.支付……,pay off还清,think of考虑,take the place of代替. (16) A 由题意应为“生活得舒适一些”、“好一些”. (17) C go hurry挨饿,go作系动词. (18) D 正像……一样,用as. (19) D 表转折用however. (20) B build up “建立起”,可用于抽象名词,也可用于具体. |
