1、36.C

解析:根据第三段my dad 49  me to go into law. And I’ve 50 regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, 51 I didn’t pursue my  52.可推测作者接受父亲的要求law,没有追求自己的梦想biologist. 故答案为C.

37.C

解析:根据He never criticized us, but used 38 to bring out our best.“他不是批评我们,而是用表扬显示出我们是最好的”可知他是“特别的”。故选C.

38. A

解析:根据If you pour water on flowers,……及41 time you say something ……及……if I looked for the best 42 people, I would get the best 43.可知“你在别人身上发现最好的,你才能得到最好的”,学会发现和学习别人的优点。所以此处应是praise赞扬。应选A。

39. C

解析:根据作者的父亲说as a child I said something……可知是回想,所以应选C remember

40. B

解析:根据you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you可知,说了某人不友好的事情,故选B 项unkind。

41.C

解析:根据from then on I’ve always tried to ……由always可知无论何时(any time)故答案选C。

42.B

解析:身上的优点是内在的。所以“在身上”应用in 而不是on (外在的,身上携带的东西,用on)。故选B。

43.D

解析:根据后文“我总是试图遵循这个原则”可知look for the best in people才能get the best“作为回报”。所以选D。

44.D

解析:习惯搭配。

45.A

解析:根据下文作者leave to work on my magazine意识到作者下定决心了,并没有象他父亲那样阻止,而是让作者Go fulfill it。可知是understanding理解人的。故选A。

46. A

解析:根据下文the headmaster gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine可知started the magazine占用大量时间。故选A taking up。Make up 构成,组成; pick up捡起,拿起;接收等;keep up维持,保持。

47.D

解析:根据stay in school or leave to work on my magazine中的or 可知是做出选择。故选D。

48. B

解析:此处as“正如,正像”指代前面整句话的内容,引导非限制性定语从句。

49.C

解析:根据后文的51 I didn’t pursue my dream和前文的regretted it可知作者的祖父说服了作者的父亲学法律。而suggest应是suggest sb. doing sth.(注:许多学生很易选此答案)。故选C。

50.A

解析:作者父亲的“一直”后悔,才让作者做自己愿意做的事情。如果不后悔,就不会出现Go fulfill it的结果。故应该肯定得说是后悔的,而其它选项都是否定。所以选A。

51.B

解析:I wanted to be a biologist与后面的didn’t pursue可知是转折,故选B.

52.D

解析:wanted to be a biologist只能称为dream,而不是promise(诺言)和belief(信仰)

53.C

解析:As it turned out接Go fulfill it(dream),两者中的it 都指开办杂志的梦想。“正如我的梦想所实现的结果那样,我的出版物后来命名为student,一个国家级杂志”故选C。

54.B

解析:根据前文作者的dream是start a magazine可知本题应选B。

55. D

解析:raise等同于bring sb up“养育”。“我们正在用父亲养育我的方式来养育我们的孩子。故本题选D。
