Here are three reasons why you should change your reaction to a situation and stop complaining.The world owes you nothing.The world really does have nothing to do with you or anyone else. The planet will continue to exist without you on it. 17 However, it really isn't the case once we're an adult. The world doesn't provide us with the same blanket of comfort as our carers once did, which only means one thing: It's up to us to provide that blanket fbr ourselves and no one else.18If you look back at your own life, you'll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all a result of the decisions you've made sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions. 19 Your life is just like a blank canvas, and you are the painter. Start to think about what your hopes and dreams might be and remind yourself daily that it's all up to you to make things happen.You can't be a leader if you behave like a victim.It's really easy to put blame on things that are external to you. 20 So what can you change? Being a leader in your life takes courage and requires the willingness to face your fears, experience failure, and take complete personal responsibility of everything that happens to you.A. What are you worrying about?B. So who's really to blame?C. You are in charge of your own life.D. You are helped by people around you.E. We were nurtured and looked after as kids.E It's true that there arc things in the world wc can't control.G. As it avoids personal responsibility and allows you to refuse the possibility that you may have things that can be changed.【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. G【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文中提出三个理由，告诫人们停止抱怨。【16题详解】根据上文“When living out our daily lives, it's often easy to blame the world fbr our problems.（当我们生活在 日常生活中时，往往很容易将我们的问题归咎于世界）”和下文“But Ihe biggest difference is simply our reactions to them.（但最大的区别只是我们对它们的反响）”可知，上文提出我们容易把自己的问题归咎给世 界，结合下文表转折意义的but可知，空处内容与下文形成转折，指出有时事情确实不受我们控制。F项“确 实，世界上有些事情是我们无法控制的”符合题意，后文的them指代选项中的things in the world we can't control o 应选 Fo【17题详解】根据下文“However, it really isn't the case once we're an adult.（然而,一旦我们成年，情况就不是这样了）" 表转折意义的however推知，空处内容与下文形成比照或转折，应陈述我们小时候的情况。E项“我们从小 就被培养和照顾”符合题意，kids呼应下文adults。应选E。【18题详解】空处为本段小标题。根据下文 “If you look back at your own life, you'll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all a result of the decisions you've made sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions.（如果你回顾自己的生活,你会 开始意识到你所做的一切都是你所做的决定的结果，而你认为这些决定可能是你周围的人说服你去做的。 但这最终取决于你的决定）”可知，人生中所有的决定都是我们自己做的。C项“你是自己生活的主宰”可 以作为本段小标题。应选C。【19题详解】根据空前“If you look back at your own life, you'll begin to realize that everything you have ever done was all aresult of the decisions you've made sure there may have been people around you who have convinced you to do something. But it all ultimately depends on your decisions.（如果你回顾自己的生活，你会开始意识到你所做的 一切都是你所做的决定的结果，而你认为这些决定可能是你周围的人说服你去做的。但这最终取决于你的 决定）”可知，无论是我们自己做的事情还是别人说服我们去做的事情，最终都取决于我们自己的决定。由此 推知，空处提出反问“真正负责的是谁呢？B项“所以真正（对生活）负责的是谁呢？”符合题意。应选B。【20题详解】根据上文"It's really easy to put blame on things that are external to you.（我们很容易把责任推到外在的事物 上）”推知，空处陈述这样做的原因。G项”因为它逃避了个人责任，并允许你拒绝你可能让事情改变的可 能性”符合题意，as说明上下文的因果关系，且changed呼应下文的change。应选G。第三局部语言运用（共两节，总分值30分）第一节完形填空（共15个小题，每题1分，总分值15分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。I was at the post office a few weeks ago.
