Question

 

 

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to __31__ the stress in work and life.

       The professor went to the kitchen and returned __32__ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; some __33__, some cheap. And he told them to help __34__ to the coffee.

       When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were __35__, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is __36__ for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your __37__ and stress.

       You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, __38__ you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, __39__ you consciously went for the best cups.

       Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and __40__ in society are the cups. They are just __41__ to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by __42__ only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has __43__ us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make __44__ of everything.

       Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak __45__. And leave the rest to God.

【解析】

1.句意：根據(jù)前句推斷應是：不就他們開始去抱怨工作和生活的壓力。C項 complain about是抱怨某事，符合題意，故選C。

2.with表示隨身攜帶。

3.通過前面的的例子可看出是前后對比，便宜對應昂貴，故選A。

4.他們的反身代詞是themselves，故選 B。

5.根據(jù)句意：所有好看的杯子都被占有，只剩下普通的和便宜的杯子。C項符合題意，故選C。

6.A.項normal正常的；B項important重要的；C項 impossible不可能的；D項 necessary必要的。句意：他是很普通的對你來說為你自己拿最好的杯子。故選A。

7.A.項thoughts 思想 ；B.項failure失敗；C項 questions 問題  D.問題problems。Question是一般的問題而problem是已存在需要解決的問題。句意：這是你們壓力和問題的根源。D項符合題意，故選D。

8.引導主語從句，同時作主語從句的賓語，故用what。

9.句意：你真正需要的是咖啡，不是杯子，但你卻有意識的拿了最好的杯子。前后句表示轉(zhuǎn)折關系，所以選擇轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but.

10.A項 position 態(tài)度，位置；B.項age年齡；C.項health 健康 ；D.項purpose目的。句意：工作、金錢和社會中的位置是杯子。A項符合題意，故選A。

12.concentrate  on專心于；將……集中于……

13.A項 taught 教給；B項 provided提供，供給； C.項returned 歸還 D.項bought買。根據(jù)下句：上帝提供給了我們咖啡，可推知上局：我們失敗了去享受上帝提供給我們的咖啡。故B項符合題意。
