【解析】

【試題分析】本文是一篇議論文。文章講述了一旦我們的各種活動成為我們日常生活必須做的事情時，無論是哪個年齡段的人都會感到無聊而半途而廢了。接下來具體說明了從小孩子、到青少年、再到成年人、到老人都會有這種情況出現(xiàn)。

1.principle法則；habit習慣；way方式、方法；power力量。只有principle和第一句話中的rule意思接近。故選A。

2.parties黨、聚會；B.races競賽；countries國家；ages年齡。故選D。

3.例如，在圣誕節(jié)的早晨，孩子們興奮地玩他們的新玩具。此處working工作；living和…一起生活；playing 玩；going去。短語 play with的意思是玩弄……。故選C。

4.confidence自信；interest興趣；anxiety焦慮；sorrow悲傷。故選B。

5.一月份可以發(fā)現(xiàn)同樣的那些玩具就被放在了地下室里。此處same相同的；extra額外的；funny好玩的；expensive貴的。the same同一個的，說明還沒持續(xù)幾天興趣就沒了。故選A。

6.世界充滿了裝了一半的集郵冊和為完成的模型，此處well-organized 組織好的；colorfully-printed涂得五顏六色的；newly-collected新收集來的；half-filled完成一半的。這里又是一個不能把興趣保持下去的例子。所以最佳選D。

7.broad寬的；passing短暫的；different 不同的；main主要的。如果知道passing的意思是短暫的。那么選B就很容易了。

8.當父母帶回家一只寵物，他們的孩子高高興興地給它洗澡、給它刷毛。此處silently安靜地；impatiently 不耐煩地；gladly高興地；worriedly擔心地。小孩子對寵物很感興趣，所以選C最能表達這里的意思。

9.然而，很快照顧動物的責任就交給父母。此處promise承諾；burden負擔、責任；right權利；game游戲。如果興趣變成了每天必做的是，孩子就堅持不下去了。當然照顧寵物的責任就由父母來承擔了。

10.青少年進入高中時很激動。此處courage勇氣；calmness平靜； confusion 混淆；excitement激動。根據(jù)常識可知，一開始進入新環(huán)境人們應該是興奮、激動的。故選D。

11.graduation畢業(yè)；independence獨立；responsibility責任；success成功。但是有的人不能堅持，過不久就盼著畢業(yè)離開了。只有A符合語境。

12.children孩子們；students學生；adults成年人；retirees退休人員。故選C。

13.carefully小心地；eagerly渴望地、急切地；nervously緊張地；bravely勇敢地。故選B。

14.required需要；obtained獲得；noticed注意；discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)。只有B符合語境。

15.need需要；learn學；start開始；plan計劃。對未來生活的憧憬應該用plan更合適。故選D。

16.great 偉大的；strange奇怪的；difficult困難的；correct正確的。結合前面的例子可知，自己以前沒有做成的事，一開始總是覺得很偉大，很了不起。故選A。

17.time時間；money錢；skills技能；knowledge知識。等到退休了再去做，應該是以前忙于工作而沒有時間做。故選A。

18.only僅僅；well好；even甚至；soon不久。這里表達興趣一旦變成每天必須做的事時，老人也一樣難以堅持。故選D。

19.lost失去；chose選擇；left剩下、離開；quit停止。leave work 離開工作崗位。故選C。

20.pets寵物；toys玩具；friends朋友；colleagues同事。和一開始的例子一樣。說明老人和小孩子一樣沒有長性。把老人比作孩子，那孩子玩的東西就是玩具了。故選B。

考點：日常生活類閱讀。
