[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。生活中我们总是与他人的生活交叉到一起,既然这样,对待他人就应该心存尊重,而不能因为他人的失败轻视他。对曾经伤害过自己的人也要有宽容之心,这样我们人生的道路才会越走越宽。
1.A.chance B.role
C.relation D.place
解析:根据第一段可知,在作者看来,我们与人结交不是偶然的。结合本段第三句话中的“some role in their lives as well”可知,在作者看来,你遇到的每一个人对你的生活都有或大或小的影响,也就是起到一定的作用,故选role。
答案:B
2.A.while B.if
C.when D.though
解析:根据上文中的“Some will help you grow and inspire you to do better”和下文中的“some will let you down or even hurt you”可知,一些人帮助你成长,激励你做得更好,而一些人会让你沮丧,甚至伤害你。前后形成鲜明的对比,故用while“然而”。
答案:A
3.A.changing B.creating
C.finding D.playing
解析:与此同时,你也在别人的生活中起到一定的作用。play a role意为“起某种作用”,是固定搭配。
答案:D
4.A.cross B.end
C.wind D.begin
解析:结合上文可知,我们会被别人影响,也会影响别人,也就是我们的生活总是与别人的生活交叉到一起,而这种交叉是有原因的。cross“交叉”,符合语境。
答案:A
5.A.push B.find
C.show D.feel
解析:根据上文中的“who don't tell you how to get there”可知,最佳的老师,并非授人以鱼,而是授人以渔。故show “指出”符合语境。
答案:C
6.A.helping B.making
C.forcing D.permitting
解析:根据下文中的“Offer them support”可知,在作者看来,帮助别人,使他们看到自己的未来,看到他们到达了他们从没想到的高度,再没有比这更让人高兴的事了。
答案:A
7.A.better B.higher
C.richer D.farther
解析:参见上题解析。
答案:B
8.A.say B.mean
C.explain D.describe
解析:虽然上一句话说到了我们应该帮助别人,但是这并不意味着你必须为他们安排好或者使他们有能力。mean“意味着”,符合语境。
答案:B
9.A.attach B.relate
C.adapt D.guide
解析:我们没有必要为他们安排好或者使他们有能力,相反,我们应该引导他们到达自己的能力之源,也就是应该对他人有引导作用。
答案:D
10.A.motivation B.shelter
C.prediction D.evidence
解析:根据上文中的“Offer them support”可知,当他们找到自己的路并给你展示他们的能力时,给他们提供帮助和动力。motivation“动力”,符合语境。shelter“避难所”;prediction“预测,预言”;evidence“证据”。
答案:A
11.A.that B.which
C.what D.how
解析:参见上题解析。本句中what引导宾语从句,并在从句中作介词of的宾语。be capable of sth.是固定短语,意为“有能力做某事”。
答案:C
12.A.look down on B.take care of
C.put up with D.show respect for
解析:根据下文中的“it's easy to look down on someone”可知,作者建议即使对方失败了,也不要轻视他。look down on“瞧不起,轻视”,符合语境。take care of “照顾”;put up with“忍受”;show respect for“对……表示尊重”。
答案:A
13.A.lucky B.wise
C.enthusiastic D.successful
解析:作者认为有的人会轻视失败者。而空处所在句中的“We like to think of life as a meritocracy”表明我们喜欢相信生活是精英管理,所以很容易轻视那些不像自己一样成功,或有才华,或受过良好教育的人。
答案:D
14.A.far B.long
C.many D.much
解析:根据下文中的“that person has already climbed”可知,这里使用far表示一个人已经走了多远。
答案:A
15.A.work out B.fade away
C.end up D.get along
解析:我们也不知道他们会在哪里结束。end up“(尤指经历一系列意外后)最终处于,到头来”,符合语境。work out“(问题)逐渐解决,计算出”;fade away“逐渐消失”;get along“相处融洽,进展”。
答案:C
16.A.instructions B.positions
C.directions D.situations
解析:根据上文可知,我们可能会轻视失败者,但是我们并不知道这些人已经走了多远,会到什么样的程度,所以时间很容易翻转人们的位置。
答案:B
17.A.equality B.respect
C.quality D.identity
解析:根据下文的“Treat all people...with love and compassion”“Treat people the way you want to be treated”可知,我们对别人应该心存尊重。respect “尊重”,符合语境。equality“平等”;quality“质量”;identity “身份”。

答案:A
20.A.go back B.go wrong
C.go blind D.go out
解析:买卖是复杂的,生活是难懂的,领导者也是难当的。正因为如此,我们应该满怀爱和同情对待所有人,包括自己,这样才不会出错。go wrong “出现问题,出错”,符合语境。go back“回去”;go blind“失明”;go out“出去,熄灭”。
答案:B
