Question

 My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as "Oh Beckham is so handsome so cool that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has！”

  Yeah I 1       to some degree though I sometimes do want to 2        them how much they know about Beckham apart from his 3        and how much they know about football apart from 4        goals. It seems funny that we are 5        for things with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6        but we all my friends as well as I consider this one of life's 7       .

  We need these pleasures to 8        our lives. But that doesn't 9        to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."We should not judge anything from its 10       . We should all know it is one's good 11        and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12        about Beckham's good looks.

  If we close our eyes falling in deep 13        we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15        things sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16        has blinded and misled us and we will remain ignorant (无知的) 17       we realize that and make some changes.

  It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18        of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything no matter how much it 19        us we will finally prove how much we have 20        up how much more sensible mature and intelligent we have become.

Answer 1

1. B作者先说在一定程度上"同意"上述人对贝克汉姆相貌和球技的看法，为下一步阐述自己的观点做好铺垫。

2. A从后面的how much看，作者是在"质问"对方对贝克汉姆和足球究竟知道多少。

3. D由前文知有些人喜欢贝克汉姆仅仅是因为他的"外貌"。

4. C score goals意为"进球"。

5. B be crazy for意为"为……而疯狂、着迷"。如果表达"对••••••感到好奇"，应用be curious about be anxious about意为"为. 担忧”，be concerned for意为"替... 担忧”。

6. A uncertain和前面的unfamiliar相互补充，说明人们对待事情的盲目性。此处主要是把握前面be unfamiliar with对后文的限制作用，前面是"对……不熟悉"，后面应该是"对……不肯定"。be unhappy with / be displeased / be unsatisfied with意为"对……不满意"。

7. C人们把盲目追星当做生活的乐趣，pleasure 当"生活的乐趣"讲时，是可数名词。追星不可能是生活的目标，故不选A. quality意为"质量"时，是不可数名词，另外，追星与生活质量并无多大关系，故不选B. truth意为"真理"，追星也不可能是"真理"。

8. B brighten up意为"照亮，为……增添光彩"。keep up意为"保持... 水平"；make up意为

"编造 组成 化妆"；bring up意为"抚养，提出，呕吐"。

9. C amount to原意为"与……相当，总计……"，此处意为"达到……程度；意味着，等于"。作者的观点为：追星可以仅仅作为生活的一点乐趣，而不能达到疯狂的程度。

add to 意为"增加"，increase to意为"(数量) 增加到"，rise to意为"高度上升到"。

10. D表达作者的观点：我们不应该以貌取人。

11. B作者认为明星最重要的是他们的"性格" 和对社会的贡献 而不是他们的相貌。

12. C承接上文，作者建议我们还是"少"谈明星的外貌，而应注重他们的人格。

13. D从前面"闭上眼睛"判断，这儿应是陷人沉思(in deep thought) 。

14. A经过深思，我们才能把引起我们高兴或悲伤的事情想"清楚"。把握与前面"沉思"的因果关系，可得出正确答案：沉思的结果必定是看"清"事情的真相。由此排除其他选项： puzzling意为"令人迷惑的"，moving意为"动人的"，valuable意为"有价值的"。

15. C surface things意为"表面现象"。从前面"我们如果不深刻思考而只是……"可推知我们满足于"表面的东西"，因此排除material "物质的"，deep"深层的"，pleasant"令人愉快的"。 •

16. D"第一印象 初次印象"会使我们盲目，并误导我们。

17. C unless引导条件状语从句，说明我们深思、调整思维的重要性。把握句子的逻辑关系，可排除其他选项。

since引导原因状语从句，意为"既然"，引导时间状语从句，意为"自…… 以来"；although引导让步状语从句；before引导时间状语从句。

18. A sign意为"迹象、象征"，我们去深思就是进步的象征。理解此处句子的意义，可排除其他选项。

19. B pain在此处用作动词，意为"使……痛苦"。作者认为，有时我们弄清事情的本质是痛苦的。

20. D"长大"与后面的明智、成熟和智慧在逻辑上对应。
