C: untrue
D: unfair

参考解析

解析:固定搭配make fortune,意为“制造财富,发财”,因此选B。其他三项均不合适。


这里应该是一个由what引导的从句为主语的句子,表示“使得 Ben的故事更引人注意的是……”,其他三项均无法引导该从句。


根据句意,是Ben被告知,因此选项told为正确答案。said意为“被说”,suggested 意为“被建议”,reported意为“被报道”,均不合句意。


联系上下文,了解到本句表达的是Ben曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写,而不是完全无法读写,因此properly才符合句意。absolutely表示“完全地,绝对地”,totally表示“完全地”,thoroughly表示“彻底地,完全地”,均不合句意。


根据句意,很容易了解Ben是要证明他们对他的判断错了,而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的,或者不公平的,所以wrong是正确答案。


固定搭配。be used to意为“被用来做”。因此A项正确。


根据句意,易知文中要表达的是“虽然他不能阅读使用指南”,因此unable为正确答案。impossible表示“不可能的”,incapable表示“无能力的”,一般形容不能胜任的; disabled表示“有残缺的”。


根据句意,易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用promised则表示在爸爸的承诺下,invited则是在爸爸的邀请下,animated表示“有生气的”,均不符合句意,因此 encouraged为正确答案。


根据句意,“ Ben很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费——每小时10英镑”,只有 charge符合句意。


联系上下文,根据句意, Ben创建了自己的公司——Quad Computer,固定搭配set up 表示“创建”,其他三项均不合适,所以选D。


根据句意,Ben把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中,根据后面的介词to可知,只有 devote是正确答案。


词组搭配。a couple of表示“一些”, few一般形容只需少量的几个,little形容不可数名词,文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大,Ben需要雇用一些员工,因此只有couple符合句意。


文中要表达的是雇用一些员工,使公司发展壮大。因此B项正确。


固定搭配。overcome challenge,表示“克服困难,克服挑战”,因此选A。 overlook表示“不注意,忽视”, overtake表示“赶上”,overdo表示“把……做得过分”。


根据句意,“价值2500万英镑的交易”,显然worth是正确答案。valuable表示“珍贵的,值钱的”, estimated表示“估计,预算”,priced表示“给……定价,附有定价的”。

Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half full. But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor. According to Ben-Shahar, realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down --- say, after giving a bad lecture ——he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction. He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter.
