【审题构思】
题目考查的是“值得做的事就把它做好”这一主题，很明显属于议论文，可
从正反两方面进行说明，并提出自己的观点，最后总结收尾。
【行文点评】
(1)用两句话引出主题“值得做的事就把它做好”，并解释其含义。
(2)直接阐明对于此观点两种不同的看法，并进行对比，提出自己的观点。
(3)standonadifferentground译为“站在不同的角度”。
(4)用Toconclude引出最终结语，真正值得做的事情是对我们有意义的事情。

1．
【答案】
L
【解析】
本题考查的是名词。句意：男性觉得需要在所有领域都表现得称职。根据空前的
inall可以判断，此空需填入名词复数形式。realms意为“领域”，且为复数
形式，与题意相符，故选L。
2．
【答案】
C
【解析】
本题考查的是副词。句意：女性只担心她们投入大量的技能。此空包含在一个
inwhich引导的定义从句中，从句部分为完整的句子，不缺成分，故此处需填
入副词修饰动词invest。heavily意为“在很大程度上；大量地”，符合题意，
故选C。
3．
【答案】
H
【解析】
本题考查的是动词。句意：因掌握一项技能而赢得赞美会让人突然陷入失去一切
的境地。根据空前的介词for和空后的名词askill可以判断，此处该填入动名
词形式。master意为“精通；掌握”，符合题意，故选H。
4．
【答案】
B
【解析】
本题考查的是名词。句意：许多成功人士没有再拿自己的名誉冒险，而是染上了
酗酒、疲劳、抑郁等毛病，这使得他们无论未来发生什么都能保持自己的地位。
根据句中的动词develop和空前空后的名词可以判断，此处缺乏和
handicap-drinking、depression并列的名词作develop的宾语。fatigue意为
“疲劳；劳累”，符合题意，故选B。
5．
【答案】
E
【解析】
本题考查的是动词。句意：一位广告主管在获奖后不久因抑郁症入院治疗，他说：
“没有抑郁症，我现在就是一个失败者；有了抑郁症，我就是一个‘暂缓’的成
功者。”此空所在句为一个完整的句子，根据空后的for可以判断此处该填入形
容词或动词的分词形式作anadvertisingexecutive的后置定语。hospitalized
为hospital的过去分词，意为“入院治疗”，符合题意，故选E。
6．
【答案】
J
【解析】
本题考查的是形容词。句意：事实上，最有可能长期找借口的是那些痴迷于成功
的人。此空所在句为完整的句子，根据空前的those和空后的with可知，此处
需填入可以和with搭配的形容词。obsessed意为“（对…）着迷的”，符合题
意，故选J。
7．
【答案】
F
【解析】
本题考查的是动词。句意：这样的人在任何事情上都非常害怕被贴上失败的标签，
以至于他们不断制造这样或那样的障碍，以便为自己的失败辩解。根据空前的
being和空后的名词afailure可以判断，此处需要填入动词的过去分词形式与
being构成被动语态，且需要可以接双宾语。labeled为label的过去分词，意
为“贴标签于；（尤指不公正地）把…称为”，符合题意，故选F。
8．
【答案】
N

inwhich引导的定义从句中，从句部分为完整的句子，不缺成分，故此处需填

故选C。
3．

为hospital的过去分词，意为“入院治疗”，符合题意，故选E。
6．
【答案】
J
