In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   21  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   22 . The only solution is to reach   23  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   24  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   25 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   28 . The only direct and honest comparison is   29  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   30  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  31  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋頭苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   33  someone is coming up fast   34  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   36  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   37  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   38 . You are a more   39  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   40  is all you need.

解析試題分析:在一個(gè)比較無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻不存在的社會(huì),人很難獲得滿(mǎn)足感,就這個(gè)問(wèn)題作者提出了自己的觀點(diǎn):
即我們沒(méi)必要和別人去比較,畢竟人與人不同,所處的環(huán)境不同,我們只需自己和自己去比較,用今天的
自己和昨天的自己去比較,只要取得丁點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步,那我們就是成功的人。
【小題1】C形容詞辨析。A耐心的;B 嚴(yán)格的;C 滿(mǎn)意的;D擔(dān)心的。在文中作者建議人們不要和別人比,從情理可知和別人比較時(shí),如果你不如別人你會(huì)對(duì)自己失望,不滿(mǎn)意。故C選項(xiàng)正確。句意:看到自身外部并感到滿(mǎn)意是很難的。
【小題2】B形容詞辨析。A. 強(qiáng)壯的;B. 更好的;C. 懶惰的;D.明智的。此處沒(méi)有具體說(shuō)明是在哪方面進(jìn)行比較,所以只是籠統(tǒng)的說(shuō)你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)別人要比你好,而不具體到身體或者智力等方面,所以我們可以排除A,D選項(xiàng),C選項(xiàng)為貶義詞,故也可以排除,正確選項(xiàng)B。句意:總會(huì)有人比你更好一點(diǎn)。
【小題3】A介詞辨析。A內(nèi)部,里面的;B外面;C 為了,因?yàn);D向上;從下面的 inner yardstick“內(nèi)在的尺度”可以判斷應(yīng)該是深入自己內(nèi)心,根據(jù)華倫巴菲特所說(shuō)的你自己內(nèi)在的尺度去衡量自己。所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題4】A形容詞辨析。A 精確的; B有用的;C 仔細(xì)的;D 強(qiáng)大的。從詞義搭配上可知修飾名詞衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的詞應(yīng)該是精確,準(zhǔn)確accurate。沒(méi)有更為精確的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)了。選項(xiàng)正確A。
【小題5】B名詞辨析。A 一端,盡頭;B 最好(狀態(tài));C 方便,便利;D 邊,面。從情理可知人們要和自己過(guò)去比的話(huà),應(yīng)該是和過(guò)去最佳時(shí)期進(jìn)行比較,而且文章中Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing…也是此處的一個(gè)提示,故正確答案是B。
【小題6】D形容詞辨析。A滿(mǎn)意的;B 繁忙的; C受到激勵(lì)的;D懶惰的。從上下文可知此處是講和別人比較的壞處,所以排除A選項(xiàng);當(dāng)你看到自己比別人要強(qiáng)的時(shí)候,你會(huì)沾沾自喜,從而引發(fā)自身惰性,所以正確答案為D。
【小題7】A短語(yǔ)搭配。A for nothing 免費(fèi)的, 白費(fèi)勁;B for fun 為了開(kāi)心;C for sure 確信的;D成功。從情理可知當(dāng)你看到別人比你好的時(shí)候,你會(huì)有挫敗感,從而覺(jué)得自己的努力都白費(fèi)了,故A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題8】C形容詞辨析。A平等的;B 獨(dú)特的;C 相似的;D常見(jiàn)的,共同的;上文說(shuō)和別人去比那是傻子的游戲,所以文強(qiáng)調(diào)不要和別人去比,因?yàn)槿撕腿瞬煌。所以正確選項(xiàng)為C。
【小題9】A介詞辨析。A在。。。內(nèi);B通過(guò),憑借;C 為了,因?yàn)椋籇 屬于,關(guān)于。從文章第一段說(shuō)明要和昨天的自己,上周的自己或者是10年前的自己去比較,用自己內(nèi)在的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量自己,所以在此應(yīng)該是自己內(nèi)在的比較,故A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題10】B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A 教導(dǎo),指導(dǎo);B允許;C 指揮,指導(dǎo),指示;D 建議。在此作者是說(shuō)出可以和別人相比較的情況 ,即允許自己和別人相比較的情況。句意:我的觀點(diǎn)是你只可以與那些和你生活狀況一樣的人去比較。故B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題11】A名詞辨析。A情形,局勢(shì);B位置,姿勢(shì);C 場(chǎng)合;D 住宿,住處。從常識(shí)可知和別人比較要在同等情況下進(jìn)行比較,也就是生活情形相同的,否則沒(méi)有可比性,life situation生活狀況,其他詞不和life構(gòu)成搭配。所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題12】B名詞辨析。A游戲;B 比賽,相匹配的人;C朋友;D 敵人。從上文可知和別人比較時(shí)要找情況相同的人作為比較對(duì)象,在此指的是一個(gè)你能與之相比而且情況類(lèi)似的人。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。句意:找到那樣一個(gè)相般配的人是太幸運(yùn)了。
【小題13】B動(dòng)詞辨析。A得出結(jié)論;B 打賭;C宣布;D 聲明。從情理可知一個(gè)人不可能總是做的最好,即使現(xiàn)在沒(méi)人比你強(qiáng),肯定也有人在背后努力會(huì)超過(guò)你的,所以B選項(xiàng)正確。you can bet that。。意思為肯定,毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)。
【小題14】D介詞辨析。A 在。。。之前;B在。。。旁邊;C在。。。下方;D在。。。后面。從常理可知如果你比別人強(qiáng)的話(huà),就會(huì)在某些方面落下別人,所以別人趕超你也應(yīng)該是在你后面趕上來(lái)。故正確答案是D。
【小題15】B動(dòng)詞辨析。A 助手;B 競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者,對(duì)手;C 教練;D 教師。作者強(qiáng)調(diào)不要和別人去比,要自己和自己比,要讓今天的自己超越昨天的自己,所以自己才是自己的對(duì)手,故B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題16】C動(dòng)詞辨析。A貢獻(xiàn),促成;B使。。。暴露;C推,鞭策;D致力于,奉獻(xiàn)。從下文If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today.昨天跑了七段樓梯那么今天就跑八段樓梯可知此處是給自己定下目標(biāo),鞭策自己進(jìn)步,所以C選項(xiàng)正確。句意:自己心中有一個(gè)最近達(dá)到過(guò)的極限是最好的東西,它可以敦促自己朝下一個(gè)高度前進(jìn)。
【小題17】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A在乎,關(guān)心;B 說(shuō);C 疑惑,想知道;D問(wèn)。從上文可知作者要人們做到自己一天比一天進(jìn)步,而不去和別人比,不去在意別人的進(jìn)步,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。句意:如果你旁邊的小伙子跑了15段樓梯誰(shuí)又在乎呢?
【小題18】C名詞辨析。A努力;B 感覺(jué),意識(shí);C不同,區(qū)別;D 變化,零錢(qián)。文章告訴我們的是:別人做的再好和我們毫無(wú)關(guān)系,我們只和自己去比較,所以即使你跑7段樓梯,別人跑15段那和我們一點(diǎn)關(guān)系都沒(méi)有,Make a different意思為有關(guān)系,有影響;make a sense 有意義,行得通;make efforts 努力;make a change 做出改動(dòng),故正確答案為C。
【小題19】A形容詞辨析。A成功的;B高興的,幸福的;C 幸運(yùn)的;D 適合的。從上下文可知此處是指我們沒(méi)必要去和別人比,去看別人的成績(jī),只要我們自己每天都在進(jìn)步,那么我們就是一個(gè)成功的人,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題20】B名詞辨析。A 益處,好處;B進(jìn)步,進(jìn)展;C習(xí)慣;D 結(jié)果。從上文每天多跑一段樓梯可知此處是指進(jìn)步,句意:你自己的進(jìn)步就是你所需要的全部。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

My family and I used to live in Belgium, and, to me, life was great. Most of my relatives and friends lived there, so there was never a      of aunts to spoil me or children to play with me.

When I was eight, he        he'd found a good job in London and that we were going to move there.  I was      - I didn't realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world. The excitement soon      after we moved there.
       our arrival in London, I had to start a new school and learn a  new      . I didn't know things in fashion, either. For the       six months I had extra lessons to  learn English. This       with cards and progressed towards books. I'm a      learner ,so I soon caught up. It was fitting in with other       in my school that took a bit more work.
For the first two years or so I was an outsider, no matter how much I tried to      . This made me      and sensitive - a perfect target for bullies. Thankfully, some of my classmates began to     me, and they became a great help as they helped me to      the things that made me a "foreigner".  By the time I        primary school,  most people couldn't believe I had moved to England only four years before. I was        able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my      to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn't mean completely       yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to  learn the         culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.

The husband   . So each of them went to a(n)   room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.

Pete Rose was a great baseball player. Though I have never met him, he taught me something    that changed my life.
  Pete was being    in spring training the year he was about to break Ty Cobb's all-time hits record. Suddenly one reporter asked him, "Pete, you only need 78 hits to reach your nearest   .

There once was a little boy who often got angry for unknown reasons and ended up quarreling with his friends. His parents felt   36  but had no idea how to deal with the matter.
In order to help the son, his father gave him a bag of   37  and told him that every time he   38  his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the   39  .
At first the boy felt puzzled at his father's words, but he did as he was told. The first day the little boy had   40  thirty nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks,   41   he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily   42  reduced.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收縮). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38  on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton,   39  will pay any more attention to your scar   40  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother   41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42  high — glad he was alive.
  43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,   44  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer   45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your   46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false   47 .
One of my friends in college was very   48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his   49   for about 10 seconds. This man felt   50  about himself and spent most of his time   51  about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福).   52 , people ignored his looks. What people   53  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value   54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same   55 .

I suddenly felt very25. I realized I had only thought of people as 26 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and just considered her 27.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 28 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 29 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointments to 30 . Understanding people is an art.

Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely   36  from all other animals. Language is a means of   37  , but it is much more than that. Many animals can   38  . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers   39  other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,   40  things like unicorns (獨(dú)角獸) that have never existed. The key   41  in the fact that different words can be   42  together in different ways, according to   43  to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can   44  humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract   45 , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex   46  that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most   47  of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to   48  . The speaker has to translate thoughts into  49  language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the   50  of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to   51   what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to   52  the spoken words, understand the pattern of   53  of the words (sentences), and finally   54  the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n)    55  process.
