10、。文中的“我”从父母告诉“我”的一句话中学会了生活,懂得了生活,学会了适应社会。许多时候我们还是要改变自己来适应这个世界,而不是改变世界让世界来适应自己!1A.man Btime Cthing Dparent答案B由上文“it is time that teaches a man everything”可知,此处是指“我”想知道为什么时间对一个人会有如此大的影响。2A.about Bwith Con Din答案Chave an influence on sb/sth意为“对有影响/作用”。3A.before Bafter Cas Dwhen答案A下文中提到“我”还是中学生,故此句应表示“我”尚

14、的愿望。follow ones wishes意为“遵循某人的愿望”。12A.receive Baccept Crefuse Dapprove答案B前句说“The earth wont stop turning”,故此处是指无论我们接受这个事实与否,它都不会改变。receive“收到,接待”;accept“接受,接收”;refuse“拒绝”;approve“批准,同意”。13A.fit Bsuit Cbeat Dmatch答案B由上文内容可知,此处表示“我们能做的只是使我们适应这个世界”。suit“满足(某人)需要,合(某人)心意”;fit多指大小适合,吻合;match指大小、色调、形状、性质等
15、相配或相称;beat“打,击败”。14A.what Bwhere Cwhich Dwhy答案Awhat引导宾语从句,且在从句中作“gives”的宾语。15A.miss Bcatch Cescape Dlose答案B下文“.but now I see I dont catch.”有提示。16A.probably BlikelyCpossibly Dunlikely答案BIt is likely(adj.)that从句表示“很可能”。17A.regretful BawfulCsuccessful Dterrible答案A快乐时光溜掉了,留下的是遗憾。regretful“遗憾的”;awful“可怕的
16、”;successful“成功的”;terrible“可怕的”。18A.think of Bcomplain ofCdream of Dspeak of答案A由“Im not just living for myself”可知,此处是指“我”还应想到周围的其他人。19A.wrong Bfalse Cnegative Dtrue答案Cor前后表示的意思相反(积极的态度还是消极的态度),故答案为C。20A.point Brule Cthing Dword答案B注意空格处与obey的搭配。point“点,要点”;rule“规则,准则”;word“字,话,消息,诺言”。.阅读理解A体裁:议论文话题:勇
