15、周日下午较晚的时候，一位上了年纪的名为McCahy的清洁工在她生活了大 半辈子的小木屋中去世了。这位老妇人看似平凡的一生却有着非同寻常的意义。1995年夏McCarty把她一生的大局部积蓄共计15万美元全部捐给了她家乡的南密西西比大 学，用于帮助大学中的黑人完成学业。她年轻的时候就养成了积蓄的习惯，那时候她从学校放学 就去做清洁工作和熨烫衣服赚钱，并将钱存起来。她一生过着简单、节俭的生活，除了生活必需品外她从不在其他事情上花钱。 她退休的时候，决定资助那些条件有限的孩子上大学。她曾经想成为一名护士，但她不得不 离开学校照顾生病的亲戚。当问及她为什么会把一生的积蓄都捐赠出来时，她答复：“我将钱捐

B 看到后面的不定式，应马上想到 expect，这是常见搭配，意思是期望做某事，放在此处也符合句意，应选B。2. C 此句大意为假设是周围有个总是往事情最害处考虑的人，我们一定没有什么乐趣，此处符合逻辑的只有 worry和

24、 fear,但 worry要与 about 搭配，故 C 为正确答案。3. P A, B, D 都有乐趣的意思，但口语中常和 a lot of 搭配的只有fun，意为很多乐趣。4. D look like 意为看起来像，看上去要 ，符合句意，为正确答案。5. C 此句意思为对此采取一些措施是重要的，A 与 D 搭配不当，直接被排除，B 选项against 容易被误选，译为采取措施来对抗它，但此处的 it 是指代前面整句话，指这个状况、情况、事实。我们只能针对这个情况采取措施，不能去对抗它，C 选项比拟合理。6. B according to 固定搭配，意为根据。7. A as a result

25、 是个惯用短语，表示结果，意为最后，结果，最终。整句译为“只需一点儿努力，你将发现生活会回报你更多。8. C 此句的含义为乐观主义也是对待生活的和它所给予的一种积极态度。只有 A与 C与句意相符，但 supply 是不及物动词，须与介词 with 搭配，故 C 选项正确。9. B 分析上下文意思，此处乐观主义者是更容易开始新工程，be likely to 是习惯用法，译成倾向于，很有可能 ，be possible to 也有这样的意思，但主语一般是 it ，应选 B。10. B 想要表示对.，.的看法，意见，态度，可以用 opinion about，view of ，或是 attitude t

26、o/towards ，根据惯用说法，B 选项最为适宜。11. C 四个选项中只有 depend 能与 on 搭配，表示依赖于，其他三个选项均为及物动词，因此答案是 C。12. A something goes wrong 是习惯说法，意思是出毛病，弄错，发生故障，其他选项不能这样搭配。13. C 此处涉及的惯用说法是 on the one hand. ，on the other hand . ，翻译成一方面，另一方面，C 为正确答案。14. A regard . as .是固定搭配，意为把看做，A 为正确答案，D 选项容易干扰应试者的判断，但具有把看做含义的短语应为 think of . as

27、 .。15. B 此题涉及的两个固定搭配为 get on with 和 get over with ，前者意为继续，为正确答案，后者意为完成，结束，做完了事。【译文】看光明的一面你曾经想要让自己变得更乐观吗?想过让自己变成一个总是期待成功的人吗?假设是周围有个总是往事情最害处考虑的人，我们一定没有什么乐趣就像我们都知道某些人看到天空有一片云便说要下雨。但是你要是发现自己也这样想了，那就有必要针对它采取一些措施了。根据心理学家的说法，人们可以改变对生活的看法。只需一点儿努力，你将发现生活会回报给你的更多。人们说乐观主义在一定程度上是自尊和自信，但它也是对待生活的和它所给予的一种积极态度。乐观主义者更有可能开始新的工程，通常也更容易准备好去承当风险。很显然，成长经历对于你对待世界的态度的形成是至关重要的。有些人养成了过于依赖别人的习惯，一旦事情出了过失，便责备他人。然而另一方面，许多乐观主义者被教导，不要把失败当成世界末日，只需继续生活。
