Question

Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the 1 and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get 2? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to 3 themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way, 4 their own luck!
I’m not 5 about dishonest or illegal ways. I’m talking about hard, 6 work. But successful people work smart. They keep improving and making the most of their abilities. Yet they also learn to 7 for help in things they themselves are not that good 8 doing. So we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our 9 and weaknesses.
A man recently got his lucky big break. Everyone said, “That guy’s so lucky!” But that man created his own luck 10 by arriving at the office early. He apologized and 11 when he was wrong. He even shared the credit and reward with others 12 he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get 13 and do average work. He always 14 the extra effort to do his very best.
We have to work hard and do what it15to be on the way to luck and success when it comes. 16 , weMI miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent 17 and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break! But when you put your life in Jesus Christ’s 18 , the right important person is always 19 you and all that you do. Then he will20and bless vour life in manv wavs as vou do vour very best to please him in every thina every dav.

Answer 1

CBACC BDABA ABBDC BCADC
试题分析：有些人总是鸿运当头，占尽了机缘。你不禁会想：“为什么我没有这种福气？”其实大多数人成功或走运的真正原因是他们知道如何为自己“创造”好运。成功者不仅努力工作，还富有智慧。他们不断地丰富并充分利用自己的资源，而且对自己不擅长的事，他们也知道如何去寻求帮助。
1.C上句“Do you know some people who just have  all the luck？”暗示“有些人总是吉星高照”，所以此处指“他们似乎占尽了机缘”。这里用break表示  “运气”。第三段第一句句末的break也有暗示。qualification“资格，条件”； occupation“工作，职业”；license“批准，许可，执照”。
2.Blucky“幸运的，侥幸的，吉利的”。你会问自己：“为什么我没有这种好运气呢？”前文的have all the luck和下文的“But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that...”也有暗示。
3.A put themselves in a place“使他们自己处于有运气的地方”。成语“设身处地”可译为：put oneself in other's position。
4.C create“创造，创作，创建”。第三段的第三句“But that man created his own luck...”有暗示。语境为：在某种程度上，他们(那些成功的人们)学会了如何 “创造”自己的好运。
5.C talk about“谈论”。下句“I'm talking about hard，honest work”有暗示。
6.B practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”；adequate“充分的，适当的，胜任的”；meaningful“有目的的，有意义的”；honest“诚实的，可靠的，直率的”。前句“I'm not talking about dishonest or illegal ways”暗示此处应填honest。
7.D下句中的“they themselves are not good at doing”表明这里填ask，短语ask for help表示“寻求帮助”。
8.A习惯搭配be good at表示“擅长”。然而，对自己不擅长的事情，他们学会     了向别人求助。
9.B limit“局限，界限，限度”；pressure“压力”；strength“力量，优 点”；ability“能力，才智”。前句说“我们不仅要充分地发 挥自己的特长”， 因此本句是说“我们还必须知道自己的局限和弱点”。our limits and weaknesses 对应our own special strength。
10.A always“总是，一直”，表示频度非常高。由语境“那个人靠总是早早地来到办公室创造了自己的好运”可知，这里应选always。而不是“偶尔、很少、从不”早到办公室。
11.A realize“认识到，了解”；promise“允诺，答应”；admit“承认”； convey“运输，表达”。根据空后的“when he was wrong”(当他犯错误的时候)可推断，他勇于“承认”(admit)错误。
12.B上一空后的when...状语从句有暗示。语境为：当他做了大部分工作的时候，他仍然与他人分享荣誉和奖赏。
13.B get by“混过，凑合，勉强应付”。get over“克服，忍受，痊愈”。语境为：他永不满足于仅仅做普通的工作，不会得过且过，他总是追求尽善尽美。
14.Dmake the extra effort“付出额外的努力”。名词effort总是与make搭配。
15.C take“花费”；afford“买得起，承担得起”；obtain“获得，得到”；  adapt“(使)适应”。句式it takes...to do sth.表示“做某事需要……”。语境为：我们必须努力工作，尽一切努力走到运气和成功降临的路上。
16.B  otherwise“否则，要不然”，引出相反的结果。语境为：否则，我们就会 因为没有准备好而错失良机。
17.C approach“途径，方式，方法”；administration“管理，经营，支配”；  action“行动，活动，行为”；attitude“态度，看法”。语境为：你从不会知道适当的机遇何时来临，那个关键的人物何时注视着你出色的态度和表现。
18.A短语in the hands of sb./in sb.'s hands表示“命运掌握在某人的手中”。语境：如果你让自己的生活处于上帝的掌控之中……
19.D watch“保护，留心，注视”；adopt“采用，采纳，收养”；affect“影响”；catch“逮住，捉住，抓住，追上”。重要的人物(上帝)一直在注视你和你所做的事情。本段第二句中“when the right，important person is watching your...”部分有暗示。
20.C 根据下句bless your life in many ways可推测本空填reward“报酬，报答，奖赏，报偿”。语境为：你时时、事事都尽力使他(上帝)愉悦，上帝就会用很多   方式(好运气)来奖赏你。
