__________________________________________________________________________________________
解析:
According to certain beer commercials, the contemporary version of success【C1】______in moving
up to a premium brand that costs a dime or so more per bottle. Credit-card companies would have
you【C2】______success inheres in owning their particular piece of plastic. 【C3】______the flag
of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering【C4】______business schools are
burgeoning...and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time【C5】______faculty
members, because teaching isn't【C6】______"successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus【C7】______there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young
people continue to flock to law school【C8】______, for the individual practitioner, a law degree
is still considered a safe ticket. Many, by external【C9】______, will be "successes". Yet there
is a deadening and dangerous flaw in their philosophy: It has little room, little sympathy and
less respect for the noble failure, for the person who【C10】______past the limits, who【C11】______gloriously high and falls unashamedly【C12】______. That sort of ambition doesn't have much
place in a world【C13】______success is proved by worldly reward【C14】______by accomplishment
itself. That sort of ambition is increasingly thought of as the domain of irredeemable eccentrics,【C15】______people who haven't quite caught on—and there is great social pressure not to be
one of them. The irony is that today's success-chasers seem obsessed with the idea of not settling.
Yet in doggedly【C16】______the rather brittle species of success now in fashion, they are【C17】______themselves to a chokingly narrow swath of turf along the entire【C18】______of human
possibilities. Does it ever【C19】______to them that, frequently, success is what people settle
for【C20】______they can't think of something noble enough to be worth failing at?(分数:40.00)
(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)
A.constitutes
B.consists √
C.makes up
poses
解析:解析:本题考查近义词辨析。四个选项都有“组成;构成”的意思。而在空格后出现了介词in,make
up和compose通常与of搭配,constitute为及物动词,后不接介词;同时,四个选项中只有consist和in能构成短语,意为“在于”,符合本题句意,故为正确答案。
(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)
A.to believe
B.believed
C.believe √
D.believing
解析:解析:本题考查固定用法。空格处用的是have sb.do sth.的固定用法。在这个用法中,have意为“使,让”,是使役动词,其宾语的补足语用动词原形。因此C选项为正确答案。
(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)
A.Below
B.With
C.Behind
D.Under √ 解析:解析:本题考查介词用法。below和under两者都可表示“低于”,under主要表示垂直在下的正下方,而below则不一定表示正下方(即可以是正下方或非正下方);同时,under的一个引申义是“在……(原因、条件等)之下”,在此符合句意,为正确答案。
(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)
A.however
B.while √
C.nevertheless
D.but
解析:解析:本题考查逻辑关系。空格前后两分句的意思分别是:现代风格的文科大学日渐枯萎;商学院蒸蒸日上。由此看出,两种情况形成对比,B选项为正确答案。
(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)
A.admitting
B.evaluating
C.ensuring
D.finding √
解析:解析:本题考查上下文语义。admitting意为“准许加入,接纳”;evaluating意为“评估”;ensuring意为“确保,保证”;finding意为“找到”。空格处句意是:即使是商业学校,找教职人员也越来越难。因此,D选项为正确答案。
(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)
A.considered √
B.regarded
C.recognized
D.acknowledged
解析:解析:本题考查上下文语义。recognize意为“认出;承认”;acknowledge意为“承认”,都不符合句意;consider和regard都表示“认为,把……看作”等意思,符合句意,但regard后要与as连用,而consider后面的as可省略,因此A选项为正确答案。
(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)
A.what
B.that √
C.where
D.which
解析:解析:本题考查连接词。空格处的连接词引导的是同位语从句,而引导同位语从句的只能是that且不能省略。因此,B选项为正确答案。
(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)
A.though
B.whether
C.because √
D.if
解析:解析:本题考查逻辑关系。空格处句意是:尽管人们一致认为律师人数过多,供过于求,而且,诉讼之盛行有如流行病,令人窒息,但年轻人仍不断涌向法学院,其人数之多创最高记录。这是因为对个体从业者来说,法学学位仍被看作是一张生活的保险单。因此,空格处连接词引导的从句说明前一句所谈情况的原因,C选项为正确答案。
(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)
A.standards √
B.levels
C.rule
D.criteria
解析:解析:本题考查近义词辨析。level意为“水平,水准”;rule意为“规则”,都不符合句意;standard和criteria均有“标准”之意,但criteria指用来判断、批评事物的“标准”,这个标准可以是个人所依据的标准;standard是事先制定出来的用来衡量事物的质量、品质等公认的“客观标准”。句意是用外在的标准来判断,许多人将成为“成功人士”。可知,A选项为正确答案。
(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)
A.attempts
B.surpasses
C.risks
D.ventures √
解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。attempt意为“企图,试图”,后跟不定式或名词、代词;surpass意为“超过,超越”,是及物动词;risk意为“冒……的危险”,后跟动名词或名词。venture意为“冒险”,可作不及物动词,后跟介词,满足句子结构要求,为正确答案。
(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)
A.directs
B.aims √
C.reaches
D.ascends
解析:解析:本题考查上下文语义。空格处句子意思是目标高远的人。direct意为“指向,以……为对象”;aim意为“旨在,以……为目的”;reach意为“达到,够到”;ascend意为“攀登,上升”。将选项代入后,可知B选项为正确答案。
(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)
A.behind
B.short √
C.through
D.apart
解析:解析:本题考查上下文语义。空格处句子指目标高远的人没能达到自己的目标。fall和四个选项都能构成短语,fall behind意为“落在后面”;fall short意为“达不到标准,低于”;fall through意为“失败”;fall apart意为“散开,崩溃”。因此,B选项为正确答案。
(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)
A.which
B.whose
C.that
D.where √
解析:解析:本题考查关系副词。空格处句意是:在一个成功是由世俗的奖赏来证明的世界里,这种抱负是没有多少容身之处的。空格处的词引导的是定语从句,其先行词表示地点,所以,引导这个从句的应该是关系副词where,D选项为正确答案。
