Question

(   ) 4. We eventually realize that it's nothing unusual to experience failure,and        ought we to be so discouraged.

A. in no time    B. by all means    C. by no means    D. in any condition

Answer 1

4. C考查介词短语的用法。by no means意为"决不"，具有否定意义，放在句首时，主句要用部分倒装。in no time马上;by all means一定，必定；in any condition在任何情况下。句意：我们最终意识到经历失败没有什么不寻常，我们绝不该这么泄气。
