Have you ever heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of  36  to make efforts towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a  37  task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like  38  a business meeting in your later life .            

Perfection is  39  but attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt  40  from any angle. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皱痕）shows on the bed – covers.                                 

There are  41  two ways to do a job: either  42 , or well. If you choose the latter path, you  43  to realize that any job that qualifies as “your” work deserves nothing  44  than your best. Perfection is an  45  that can be cultivated（培养）with just a little effort. It is a habit that  46  one in good stead in later life. Let us  47  with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay 48 , say, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few  49  that you already know, you could make the project more effective by  50  reference books, encyclopedias or websites for additional information. You could then  51  the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to  52  extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult  53  at the college or university level?

Answer 1

在语篇的层面上考查了考生借助篇章进行合理推理的能力。

36. B 四个选项中只有advice 为不可数名词，故选B。

37. D 与后半句的major 遥相呼应，表相反，故选D。

38. A 考查固定搭配。

39. C 主要考查B与C的辨析及对文章的理解。nothing but “不过，仅仅”。anything but 根本不。较难。

40. A show“露出，显出”; reveal“暴露，揭露’; 该题学生易上当。

41. A 考查no more than 仅仅, not more than 不超过, more than 超过；考查三者的辨析。

42. B 由后者的well 褒义词推理出前面应该填贬义词。

43. D 考查句意。意为“如果你选择后者，你需要意识到…”

44. C 考查双重否定等于肯定。nothing less than 意为“完全(是)”，较难。

45. B 完美是一种可以培养的态度。考查前后的搭配。

46. A 考查固定表达stand me in good stead “帮我大忙”。此题较难。

47. D 句意：让我们用例子来证明吧。approve“赞成，同意，批准”; provide 和offer 均为

及物动词，需要直接跟宾语。

48. A 此处考查句子结构分析，去掉插入语say“比如说”之后，则可看出这是一篇关于野生动物的散文。所以用on 表示“关于”。较难。

49. A由上下文可知此处要表达“如果你要做得完美，那就不应当只是写一些众人皆知的事实而已。”

50. C 查阅资料，固定表达。refer 欠to 。

51. B 仔细检查。turn to“向…求助”。较容易。

52. A 考查词组的辨析。put in“投入”; put on“穿上，上演”; put away “收起来，放好”; put up

“举起，张贴”。

53. D 细节题，线索在倒数第二段的第五行。

54. C 长句砍短后可知，此处表达的是“正如某人曾经说过”。

55. B  put 此处为“说”之意。考查熟词生义，较难。
