__________________________________________________________________________________________

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。
