Question

Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man 1 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(氣喘吁吁) along, the team was 2. The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will3 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 4 finally run no more. He stopped in 5. One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped. 6 told us we had to keep running 7the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his 8, on the contrary, they allow him to set9.
My question is this: Are you keeping 10 with somebody else in your daily life? Are you11people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or 12 , for moral behavior or even your way of building up your own characteristics ? Or guidelines for what kind of life 13 you want? Negative or positive? Do you keep pace with those  14 you, or do you decided yourself just 15 you will live your life? The true is that only you are 16to determine what your standards will be.
Set your standards too low, and you will know only 17. But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and 18 life. For only when you 19 the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big 20, and win big success.”

試題分析：文章大意：一個老人在慢跑鍛煉時把自己的鍛煉目標(biāo)設(shè)定為：那些運動員停我才停。直到他最后跑不動了，停下來的時候，一個同樣上氣不接下氣的運動員向他喊道：你終于停了，教練告訴我們，你跑著，我們就不能停。通過這個故事，引出作者的看法：只有自己才有資格來確定自己的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。圍繞著個觀點，說明自己的看法和原因。
1.B 句意：一個真實的故事，一位老人決定在當(dāng)?shù)匾凰�高中的足球場慢跑（鍛煉）。由于下面說的是老人慢跑期間發(fā)生的事情，所以既不能是planned計劃，也不能是hoped希望，更不能是begged乞求。
2.A句意：當(dāng)他氣喘吁吁的（沿著跑道）慢跑的時候，一支體育隊在訓(xùn)練。in practice：1. 在實踐中；實際上，事實上2. 在不斷練習(xí)中；in order：整齊；秩序井然；in place：在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢�；in danger：處于危險中。

8.C句意：He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his 43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set 44 . 他（老人）在看著他們。他們在看著他。他（老人）讓他們定他的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，相反，他們讓他（老人）來定他們的（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）。43，提示來自標(biāo)題：Who is setting your standards for you ?

10.B句意：Are you keeping  45  with somebody else in your daily life? 你跟日常生活中的某人保持同步嗎？keep pace with：并駕齊驅(qū)；保持同步。下文提示：Do you keep pace with those  49  you…

13.D句意：抑或你想要的哪種生活態(tài)度? 根據(jù)后文：Negative or positive? 消極的還是積極的？四個選項中只有attitude:態(tài)度；看法，有積極或消極之說。
14.A句意：Do you keep pace with those  49  you, or do you decided yourself just 50  you will live your life? 你跟你身邊的人保持同步嗎，還是你自己決定你要怎樣過自己的生活？ around sb.:在某人身邊；在某人周圍。
