命题点6 议论文
本类考题解答锦囊
议论文是高考完形填空中较难的一种题材。议论文由三种要素组成：论点、论据、结论。大家要做好议论文题材的完形
填空最重要的是抓住作者的论点。不同的议论文论点的提出方式往往不同，大体有以下三种情况：
1．开门见山地提出论点。有些议论文在文章的一开始就提出论点，然后再通过具体的论据去说明论点，论据有时候既
有正面的论据，也有反面的论据，最后总结全文。
2．导入式提出论点。有些议论文会先通过叙述生活中的一个具体的事情或描述生活中的现象，然后根据事情或现象所
反映的问题提出自己的见解。最后再用具体的论据去说明自己的论点。
3．最后提出论点。有些议论文一开始作者仅仅是列举生活中的现象，而不表明自己的观点，而是通过对具体现象的分析，自然得出一种结论，这种结论往往就是作者的论点。

Surrmg: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

I started surfing about five years ago and 3 in love with the sport on the very fist day. Riding that first 4 was the best felling I had ever experienced.
When I try to 5 surfing with other things,I find it very difficult because,in my 6 ,there's nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到)body, 7 , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 8 us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that 9 ,becoming one with the 10 ,is like I'm weightless. The one thing I can 11 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean 12 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活
跃有力的) and 13 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 14 from any other sport.
I've 15 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to adil vance to new 16 , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start 17 the limits of things boys ant men used to dominate (主宰)?
There're women 18 side by side with the President of our country,so why not side by side with the boys 19 the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to 20 ,and they will.

2. A. wonder B. understand C. reply D. believe
3. A. stayed B. came C. dropped D. fell
4. A. wave B. storm C. sail D. boat

命题目的与解题技巧：本文是完形填空中的议论文体裁，考查学生的逻辑能力与对文章的整体把握。此类题材一般是直接提出论点，通过论据论证，最后作者提出自己的看法或提出另一个论题供大家讨论，本文论点是"Surfing：It's NotJust for BoysAnymore”作者通过自己的亲身经历出发，论述此论点，从而表达了作者一种积极进取的人生态度，做好此类型题的关键是抓住论点，有条理性的去论证，得出结论。
答案：1．B 解析：一问一答，answer与ask相呼应。
2．A 解析：wonder意为"feelsurprised”，冲浪运动一般是男孩喜欢的运动，有些人就奇怪，她是一个女孩，怎么也喜欢它?wonder与文中的“?”相呼应，其他三个选项不合题意。
3．D 解析：fall in love with．．．意为“爱上……”是个固定短语。
4．A 解析：ridethewave意为“漂行于水上”，冲浪运动就是一项“漂行于水上的”运动。第一次在水上漂行是我经历过的最好的感觉。很多考生误选n很明显，这里作者指的是一种乘风破浪的感觉，而不是驾船的感觉。
5．C 解析：首先从搭配上可将选项A、D排除；再从意义上看，connect．．．with与下文"there'snothinglike it”不符。故答案只能选C，意思是“把……与……进行比较”。
6．D 解析：从上文的"withotherthings"可以看出，答案应选D(生活)，因为冲浪只能说是生活中的一部分，而不应该是工作或学习中的内容；而选项C(假日)又太狭隘，因为，冲浪不一定只能在假日中，平常工作之余也可进行。
7．A 解析：mind意为“心智”。在此句中，body，mind，soul分别代表人的三个方面。冲浪运动能增进身体健康，能启迪心智，能陶冶心灵。这是一种很美的境界。
8．C 解析：人在冲浪，四周都是水。
9．B解析：这里指在水上冲浪。
10．D解析：在"The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water，becoming one with the 10 ，is like I'm weightless"这个句中，去掉定语从句I get，去掉状语从句"when I'm surfing across．．．”后，原句变成了：Thefeelingthat．．．islikeI'mweightless．这就容易理解了。冲浪时，人与海融为一体，这种感觉就像身轻无重一样。 11．B 解析：getstkfrom．．．意为“从……得到”。本句话意思为：从冲浪而不是其他的运动中，我可以得到无穷的挑战。其他三个选项在此不合题意。
12．C 解析：挑战无穷是因为大海提供了千变万化的波浪，谁都无法主宰。catches意为“抓住”，includes意思为“包括”，offers意为“提供”，collects意为“收集”，只有offers符合题意。
13．A 解析：sharp在此意为“敏捷的，生气勃勃的”；aggres sive and sharp(积极主动，勇敢征服)与上文的free a nd flowing(自由放松，随波逐流)相呼应。
14．D 解析：由上文可知，冲浪运动给我所带来的乐趣，让我觉得它不同于其他运动，而不远离(farfrom)其他运动。 15．B 解析：trytodosth．意为“努力做某事”。我设法告诉每一个我认识的女孩去做别人认为女孩子不能做的一些事情。
16．A 解析：advancetonewlevels：提高到新的水平。
17．C 解析：作者认为女孩子应勇敢地向以前只局限于男人的领域推进。此题很多考生误选九reach意为“到达”，表达的是一种结果，与前面的"start"(开始)明显矛盾。
18．D 解析：在我们的国家有女性与总统肩并肩地工作。A、B、C明显不合题意。
19．C解析：on有“从事于”之意，如：I am on China Daily．我在人民日报工作。onthefootballt team意为“从事足球运动”。
20．B解析：给女孩子一个成功的机会，她们就会成功的。有考生误选C，perform意为“表演”，强调的是过程，succeed 强
调的是结果。作者意指男孩子能做成功的事女孩子也能做好，而不仅是去做而已。
Ⅱ题点经典类题
1.(典型例题
Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn't have done or something you didn't do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There's no 1 in getting depressed about it now- it's no 2 crying over spilt milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly whathappened and why 3 we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our 4 with a friend or close relative. The odd thing is that we more often display great 5 towards someone we are fond of than towards 6 . The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to 7 a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences (后果) of 8 a stranger could be far more serious.
Being honest is usually thought of as a virture (美德) and undoubtedly this is the 9 . On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions when spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of 10 . Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?
1. A. reason B. purpose C. point D. result
2. A. use B. help C. value D. benefit
3. Pt. so B. because C. but D. though
4. A. mind B. memory C. manner D. temper
5. A. anger B. interest C. love D. respect
6. A. strangers B. friends C. relatives D. colleagues
7. A. run through B. throw away
C. give up
D. let off
8. A. inviting B. insulting C. speaking D. believing in
9. A. issue B. case C. event D. factor
10. A. excitement B. happiness
C. pride
D. guilt
答案:1.C 解析:there is no point in doing sth. 是固定句式,意为“干……事情没有意义”，此处是说做了事情再去难过已经没有意义。其他选项不符合这一固定句式。
2.A 解析：it’s no usedoingsth．＝thereisnOpoint indoing sth．本句是承接上句进一步说明后悔没有用。其他选项
都不符合这一句型。
3．B 解析：此处作者建议我们应该想一想事情发生的原因等，因为我们可以从中吸取经验教训。故用because引导原因状语从句。其他选项不能引导原因状语从句。
4．D 解析：loseone'stemper为固定用法，意为“发脾气”。此处指我们经常会对自己的亲戚朋友发火。loseone's mind “精神失常”，loseone'smemory"失去记忆”都不合题意。
5．A 解析：从前面的“发脾气”，可推断出此处应用anger，还是表示我们更容易“把怒气、脾气发泄在我们喜欢的人身上”。
6．A 解析：从前后文的对比关系，我们可以推断出此处指的是“陌生人”。前面已经出现了“我们喜欢的人(熟人)”，由此可排除其他选项：“朋友”、“亲戚”和“同事”。
7．D 解析：letoff为固定短语，当“发泄”讲，相当于giveout／off．后面是比喻的说法，意为：在安全的环境中发脾气。run through"从……中间跑过"；throwaway''扔掉”；8iveup"放弃”。
8．B 解析：从后面后果严重程度看，此处指“冒犯”陌生人。
insult＝make 5b．angry．
9．B 解析：说明“情况”就是如此：诚实是一种美德。issue"问题”，event"事件”，factor"因素”都不合题意。
10．D 解析：当我们对别人直言不讳而冒犯了别人时，我们会感到后悔，有“负疚”感。guilt当“内疚”讲。

Gloze 1
My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as,"Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can't help falling in love with him!" Or"what perfect skills he has!". Yeah, I 1 to some degree, though
I sometimes do want to 2 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 3 and how much they know about football apart from 4 goals. It seems funny that we are 5 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life's 7 We need these pleasures to 8 our liveres But that doesn't 9 to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge
a book by its cover. ' We 10 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one's good

If we close our eyes, falling in deep 13 we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not re ally gained anything because our first 16 has blinded and misled(误导) US, and we'll remain ignorant (无知的) 17 realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before 18 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deep into everything, no matter how much it 19 us, we will finally prove how much we have 20 up, how much more sen; sible, mature (成熟的) , and intelligent (智慧的) we have be come.
1. A. like B. agree C. hope D. think
答案:B 指导：作者先说在一定程度上“同意”上述人对贝克汉姆相貌和球技的看法，为下一步阐述自己的观点做好铺垫。此处后面的tosomedegree对答案有提示作用，而且议论文讲究逻辑严密，因此作者首先说：在一定程度上同意。其他选项“喜欢”、“希望”和“认为”，都不能表达此处作者此处的用意。
2. A. ask B. tell C. teach D. doubt
答案:A 指导：从后面的句式how much看，作者是在“质问”对方对贝克汉姆和足球究竟知道多少。把握作者的反问语气，可排除其他选项。
3. A. skills B. fame C. team D. appearance
答案:D 指导：从前面看，有些人喜欢贝克汉姆仅仅是因为他的“外貌”。作者认为有些人仅仅是以貌取人，由此排除他的“球技”、“声誉”和“球队”。
4. A. kicking B. hitting C. scoring D. controlling
答案:
5. A. thankful B. crazy C. curious D. anxious
答案: B 指导：这儿作者指出人们为一些自己并不了解的事情而疯狂，be crazy for意为“为…而疯狂、着迷”。如果表
达“对……感到好奇”，应用be curious about；be anxious about 意为“对……担忧”；be thankful for意为“对……
感激”。
6. A. uncertain B. unhappy C. displeased D. careful
答案:A 指导：uncertain和前面的unfamiliar相互补充，说明人们对待事情的盲目性。此处主要是把握前面be unfamiliar with对后文的限制作用，前而是“对……不熟悉”，后面应是“对……不肯定”。be unhappy with/be displeased with意
为“对……不满意”；be careful with“对……很小心”。
7. A. aims B. qualities C. pleasures D. truths
答案:C 指导：这儿人们把盲目追星当作生活的乐趣，pleasure当“生活的乐事”讲时是可数名词。追星不可能是生活的
目标，故不选A；quality可以当“质量”讲时，是不可数名词，另外，追星与生活的质量并无多大关系，故不选B；truths
当“真理”讲，追星也不可能是“真理”。
8. A. keep up B. brighten up
C. find out
D. bring about
答案:B 指导：brighten up 当“照亮、为……增添光彩”讲。我们需要这些快乐使生活丰富多彩。此处主要是理解原文。由此很容易排除其他选项：keepup意为“保持……水平”；find out"弄清楚、搞明白(真相)等”；bringabout"使……发生”＝cause sth．to happen．
9. A. come B. increase C. amount D. rise
答案:C 指导：amountto此处是动词短语，原意为“与……相当．总计……”，此处意为“达到……程度”。作者的观点为：追星可以仅仅作为生活的一点乐趣，而不能达到疯狂的程度。Come to"到达某个地方、苏醒过来”；increaseto"(数量)增加到……”；riseto"高度上升至上到……”。
10.A. dared B. would C. could D. should
答案:D 指导：should表达作者的观点：我们不应该以貌取人。把握了作者此处是在建议我们不应该以貌取人，其他选项便很容易排除。
11.A. thinking B. character C. looks D. ability
答案: B 指导：作者认为明星最重要的东西是他们的“性格”和对社会的贡献，而不是他们的相貌。把握后文“对社会的贡献”对前文的提示，可排除其他选项，looks"相貌、表情”，thinking"思维”和ability"能力”干扰性比较大，但一个人要对社会做出贡献，光有“思维”和“能力”是不行的，最重要的是个人的“人品、性格”。
12.A. more B. something C. less D. nothing
答案: C 指导：承接上文，作者建议我们还是“少”谈明星的外貌，而应注重他们的人格。把握了作者的思想“注重明星的人格”，再体会此处具有比较的含义，可排除其他选项： more和something意义与作者的观点正相反；nothing意义表达太绝对。
13.A. love B. sleep C. sense D. thought
答案: D 指导：从前面“闭上眼睛”判断，这儿应是陷入深思。
deep in thought当“陷入沉思”讲。把握此处作者的思想：我们应该深刻思维，可排除其他诜项，love，sleep脱离了作者的观点，sense不搭配。
14.A. clear B. puzzling C. moving D. valuable
答案:A 指导：经过深思，我们才能把引起我们高兴或悲伤的事情想“清楚”。把握与前面“沉思”的因果关系，可得出正确答案：沉思的结果必定是看“清”事情的真相。由此排除其他选项：puzzling"令人迷惑的”；moving"动人的”；valuable “有价值的”。
15.A. material B. deep C. surface D. pleasant
答案: C 指导：surface things意为“表面现象”。从前面“我们如果不思维深刻而且…”可推知，我们满足的是“表面的东西”，因此排除material“物质的”；deep"深层的”；pleasant“令人愉快的”。
16.A. conclusion B. experience
C. lesson
D. impression
答案: D 指导：surface things与前面的不去深思在逻辑上一致，说明如果我们仅仅停留在事情的“表面”，我们将一无所获，因为我们往往会被第一“印象”所迷惑、误导。because引导的是原因状语从句，说明我们一无所获的原因，“第一印象”符合逻辑。“第一结论”、“第一经历”、“第一堂课”缺乏逻辑性。
17.A. since B. although C. unless D. before
答案: C 指导：unless引导条件状语从句，说明我们深思、调整思维的重要性。把握句子的逻辑关系，可排除其他选项。 since引导原因状语从句，意为“既然”，引导时间状语从句，意为“从……到现在”；although引导让步状语从句；before引导时间状语从句。
18.A. sign B. cause C. value D. willingness
答案:A 指导：sign当“迹象、象征”讲，我们上深思就是进步的象征。理解此处句子的意义，可排除其他选项。cause"起因”；value"价值”；willingness"意愿”。
19.A. worries B. pains C. satisfies D. offers
答案:B 指导：pain此处用作动词，当“使……痛苦”讲。作者认为，有时我们弄清事情的本质是痛苦的事情。由常识和作者的观点可排除其他选项：worry"使……担心”；satisfy"使……满足"off"向……提供”。
20.A. given B. sent C. built D. grown
答案:D 指导：“长大”与后面的成熟和智慧在逻辑上一致。注意后面“成熟”，“智慧”对前文的限制作用，可排除其他三个选项：“给予”、“发出”和“建造”。
Cloze 2
Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right--and others are wrong. Many people believe that it's their job to 1 others how their positions,statements, and points of view are 2 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 3 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been 4 by someone arm said to him, "Thank you so much for showing me that l'n wrong and you're right. ' or, has anyone you know ever 5 you when you corrected them, or made yourself "right" at their 6 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 7 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 8 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 9 of the human heart. And those who learn to 10 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 11 of correcting others are often resented (怨恨) and 12
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice 13 others.
The joy of being right-- give them the glory(荣耀). 14 correcting. When someone says, "I really feel it's important to... ' rather than jumping 15 and saying, "No, it's more important to... ' simply let it go and allow their statement to 16 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 17 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 18 . You'll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing (目睹) other people's 19 , which is far more re- warding than a battle of egos (自我) . Starting today, let others be" 20 ",most of the time!
1. A. show B. ask C. prove D. teach
答案: A 指导：showsb．sth．“给某人展示……”。此处指有些人总是指出别人的立场、观点等是错误的。show后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。干扰性比较大的是teach，teach。b．ste教(会)某人什么，但后面一般不跟从句。
2. A. unimportant B. unbelievable
C. incorrect
D. imperfect
答案:C 指导：由下文“纠iE"别人可知。文章的第一段用以提出问题，有些人老是指出别人的观点、立场等“不对”，因此选incorrect，相当于wrong。其他选项“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都与前后文出现的“纠正"别人在表达的逻辑上不一致。
3. A. consider B. appreciate
C. understand
D. refuse
答案:B 指导：appreciate此处意为“感激”。有些人在指出别人错误的同时，期望别人会“感激”他们。首先refuses!拒绝”在此与作者所表达的意义相反，consider“考虑”，understand“理解”都没有把握好上下文的联系和提示。上文已经提到thank一词。
4. A. fooled B. helped C. taught D. corrected
答案: D 指导：此处作者以反问的形式指出：你在“纠正’’别人的时候，别人感激过你吗?correct此处用作动词，意为“纠正”。fooled"欺骗”，helped"帮助”，与“感激’’在逻辑上矛盾；taught"教学”，意义不通。
5. A. thanked B. rewarded C. cared D. accepted
答案: A 指导：此处整句都是作者的反问，言外之义：你在纠正别人的时候，别人并没有“感激”你，而是怨恨你、对你敬而远之。rewarded"报答”，cared"在乎”，accepted"接受”，意义上似乎都沾点边，但都脱离了上下文的逻辑和提示。
6. A. side B. price C. expense D. cost
答案: C 指导：atone'sexpense意为“以牺牲……为代价”。此处有踩着别人的肩膀往上爬之意。英语中。none's side 是“站在某人一边”；prtce指的是“价格”；cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”。
7. A. like B. hate C. prefer D. afford
答案:B 指导：此处作者指出实际的情况：我们都“不喜欢、痛恨”被别人“纠正”，hate to be done"痛恨、不喜欢被……”。like“喜欢”，prefer"更喜欢”偏离了此处的意义；afford to do意为“有钱干……”。
8. A. admired B. received C. realized D. respected
答案:D 指导：由后面的understood可知，我们都希望自己的立场得到别人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在语意上意味太强；receive"收到(具体的东西)”，realized"实现”不符合表达的需要。
9. A. shortcomings B. advantages
C. desires
D. wishes
答案: C 指导：指我们内心的“欲望”。shortcomings"缺点”，advantages"优点”，从意思上很容易排除；wishes干扰性较大，意思是“理想”，语意太强，而且与后面的 of the human heart不搭配。
10. A. talk B. praise C. help D. listen
答案: D 指导：学会“倾听”别人的观点，才能得到别人的爱戴和尊敬。从不要老去纠正别人，而应该学会“倾听”这一角度，就能排除其他三个选项。
11. A. habit B. form C. position D. purpose
答案: A 指导：beinthehabit of相当于have the habit of
12. A. punished B. avoided C. left D. scolded
答案:B 指导：由前面的“怨恨”可知，老是纠正别人会引起别人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”，不符合此处表达的意义；punished"惩罚”和scolded"批评”表达上太绝对。
13. A. letting B. lending C. allowing D. owing
答案:C 指导：allowsb．sth．“允许某人拥有……”。1et没有此搭配；lendsb．sth．意为“借给某人某物”；owesb．sth．意为“欠某人什么”。
14. A. Stop B. Continue C. Practise D. Try
答案: A 指导：作者建议：“别再老是‘纠正’别人”，故用stopdoine"停止干……”。其他三个选项在搭配上都成立，但把握住作者的建议便可排除它们。
15. A. out B. up C. in D. off
答案: C 指导:jumpin相当于breakin"插话、打断别人”。理解了此处的意思，便可排除其他选项，break out当战争、火灾、争吵等“爆发”讲；break up当物体或关系“破裂”讲；breakoff当“挣脱”或“打断(锁链等)”讲。
16. A. last B. go C. work D. stand
答案:D 指导：stand意为“站得住脚、能成立”讲。last"持续”，work用作不及物动词，意为“起作用”，都脱离了作者表达的意图。
17. A. helpful B. loving C. careful D. popular
答案:B 指导：loving“友爱的”。helpful"有帮助的”，careful“细心的”，popular"流行的、受欢迎的”，此处应考虑与前面less defensive"减少敌意”在表达的逻辑上要一致。
18. A. dreamed B. wanted C. asked D. demanded
答案:A 指导：dream"梦想”。此处作者表达的意思是：一旦你停止纠正别人，别人就会对你非常感激，超出你的期望。此处应从“超出期望”这一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”，wanted“想”语意太弱。
19. A. sufferingsB. worries C. success D. happiness
答案: D 指导：目睹别人因为正确而获得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨难”，worries"担心的事”，success"成功”，都偏离了文章的意义。
20. A. happy B. right C. sorry D. proud
答案: B 指导：由全文可知，这是作者议论的中心：让别人“对”吧。

9. A. persuadingB, getting C. interrupting D. refusing

程一样。其他动词不合题意。
10. A. notice B. attention C. signs D. regards

CIoze 4
Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don't get paid for it, or if you can only work at it 1 . Albert Einstein was 2 to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, "Well, I just don't have the work relative to 3 I should give up on it and settle for some thing else." 4 , he wrote the two most famous papers while 5 as a patent (专利) ofrice worker. After the 6 , there was not any major 7 in the world that would not have wanted him to work for them
If you want to work as an artist and are 8 as a waiter, don't think of yourself as a waiter who 9 one day to become an artist. That puts the 10 you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think yourself as 11 , supporting yourself by waiting tables and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is 12 to eam a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That 13 plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft (手艺) in the 14 hours.
While seeking the work you love, 15 helps to expand your awareness(意识)into the universe of all possibilities. You don't want to be 16 the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened 17 the possibilities, you can make a final 18 and select the work you love as your own.
Doing the work you love 19 that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the 20 . It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
1. A. full-time B. hard C. easily D. part-time
答案:D 指导：联系全句，可知作者在此谈论尽早做自己喜欢做的工作的必要性。A项有一定的干扰性，从第二段作者所举的例子(一个想成为艺术家的人)我们可以看出，作者认为无论是兼职，还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢的工作都是有必要的。前面有“即使没有报酬”作为信息提示，因此只能是“兼职的、业余的”。
2. A. unable B. able C. unwilling D. anxious
答案: A 指导：从下文的"Well，I just don't have the work relative to 3(physics)，I should give up on it ．．．”得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到物理教授的工作，因此用was unable to．其他选项“不乐意”、“非常急切”都不符合题意。
3. A. science B. maths C. physics D. money
答案: C 指导：relative to在这里是“与……有关”的意思。Einstein没能找到做物理教授的工作，他觉得自己不适合物理方面的工作。由常识可知，爱因斯坦从事的是物理方面的工作，而不是其他方面。
4. A. So B. Instead C. Therefore D. And
答案: B 指导：instead of在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor，此处表示爱因斯坦并没有放弃，而是更加努力。表示“没有…而…”只能用instead，其他不合逻辑。注意这是高考完形填空的常没考点。
5. A. employed B. regarded C. worked D. recognized
答案: A 指导：while employed等于while he was employedo C项有一定的干扰性，在时间状语从句或条件状语从句中，从句的主语如果与主句的主语一致，且谓语动词含有be，可以省略主语和动词be.C项显然不符合这一规则。
6. A. inventions B. discoveries
C. successes
D. papers
答案: A 指导：the inventions指Einstein的两项理论的发明。此处不是“发现”，也不是“论文”，这里用“成功”的复数也不妥当。
7. A. city B. factory C. university D. company
答案:C 指导：从前文我们得知，Einstein起初想做物理教授，没有哪个大学想要他。现在他出名了，没有哪所重点大学不想要他。由前面爱因斯坦想当“大学教授”的信息提示，可排除其他选项。
8. A. known B. making a living
C. leading a life
D. chosen
答案: B指导：从后文"supporting(养活)yourself by waiting tables"可知，以艺术为自己的工作时，做饭店服务员只是为了挣钱养活自己。be known as“作为……出名”；lead a life"生活”；bechosenasa!被选为”都不合题意。
9. A. thinks B. imagines C. hopes D. decides
答案: C 指导：who在这里代表awalter，本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”。显然作者认为，你应该把自己看成艺术家，而不是服务员。“决定”成为艺术家不合逻辑，think，imagine后不能直接跟不定式。
10. A. man B. woman C. person D. work
答案:D 指导：that在这里指“认为自己是一个有一天能成为艺术家的服务员”；work指“成为“艺术家”，本句的意思是“那只能让你喜欢的工作(成为艺术家)留在遥远的未来”。
11. A. an artist B. a waiter C. a waitress D. a painter
答案: A 指导：这里还是表示为了你自己成为“艺术家”的梦想而努力。
12. A. impossible B. possible C. important D. lucky
答案:B 指导：“一个星期做24小时的服务员也许能挣到生存的薪水。”possible在这里表示“可能性。”此处表示“什么事情可能”，其他选项不合题意。
13. A. sends B. spares C. leaves D. takes
答案:C 指导：“一个一周只做24小时的服务员，那会给自己留下足够的时间投身于培训或提高手艺”。此处应用表示“留下”的动词，spare意为“抽出”，显然不能在工作时间抽出时间去学习手艺。
14. A. on B. office C. business D. off
答案:D 指导：off在这里用作形容词，意思是“休假的、业余的”。整个第二段以working as anartist，while supporting yourself by waiting tables为例说明作者开头所提出的Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible，even if you don't get paid for it ，or if you can only work at it part time．
15. A. it B. which C. that D. this
答案: A 指导：分析本句结构是选对此空的关键。While seeking the work you love是时间状语从句，you love即that you love，作定语修饰work，因此it helps to．．．为主句。it 为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，help在这里是“有帮助，起作用”的意思。其他选项都不能作形式主语。
16. A. interested in B. devoted to
C. limited to
D. troubled by
答案: C指导：从下一句"Having opened l7 the possibilities，you can make a final 18 and select the work you love as your own”可知作者在此认为你不应该把自己局限到(1imted to)你应该是什么或已成为什么的观念上。“投入到”、“被扰乱”等都不合逻辑。
17. A. no B. all C. few D. both
答案: B 指导：从空后youcanmakeafinall8(decision)得出此答案，此处指眼界打开了，所有的可能性都出现了。
18. A. decision B. plan C. conclusion D. judge
答案:A 指导：先是打开所有的可能，然后做出最终决定，最后选出最喜欢的。此处是做最终的“决定”，而不是制定计划
或得出“结论”等。
19. A. suggests B. requires C. insists D. encourages
答案: B 指导：“做你最喜欢的工作要求你把想像和实际平等对待”。注意作主语的是动名词短语，由此可排除其他选项。
因为其他选项作主语的都是人。
20. A. necessary B. practical C. careful D. honest
答案: B 指导：从后文我们得知the imaginative指big dreams，而the practical指all the little details．从对
比关系，可扩除其他选项。

My bead was in now, I counted to ten and then gave him the tap-on-jaw 8 to let me go. But this time nothing happened.
I 9 again on his jaw. Leo's 10 was like a steel trap. I heard gunfire men were trying to get Leo's
