Practice 4  If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny—must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared, and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition, if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents.

    B.too late to check ambition once it has been let out
    C.dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal
    D.impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition

    答案:C
    解析:
    最后一句There is heavy note of hypocrisy in this,a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped- with the educated themselves riding on them.(其中有着浓厚的虚伪色彩,恰如马跑后再关上马厩的门那样,而受过良好教育的人自己正骑在那些马背上。)通过比喻指责这些人是虚伪的,他们是抱负的受益者,但又虚伪地否认拥有抱负的重要性,故C项“达成目标后再否认抱负是不诚实的”表述正确。B项“在抱负实现后再放弃它就太晚了”是对原句比喻义的错误理解,与原句比喻义强调的点不一致。A项“受过教育者习惯于口头上摒弃抱负”和D项“受过教育者享受抱负带来的好处是不现实的”,原文没有提及。故本题选C。参考译文:个人的抱负如果能被正确看待的话,那么它的回报——财富、声誉、对命运的掌握——则应该被认为值得为之付出牺牲。如果抱负在传统上具有生命力,那么它就应该受到广泛的推崇,尤其应该受到那些被他人羡慕者的高度重视,当然那些受过良好教育的人也应包括在内。然而,恰恰是那些受过良好教育的人声称他们已经放弃了抱负,多么不可思议。奇怪的是他们已经从抱负中获益颇多了——如果不是他们自己的抱负,那么就是他们父母和祖父母的抱负。其中有着浓厚的虚伪色彩,恰如马跑后再关上马厩的门那样,而受过良好教育的人自己正骑在那些马背上。

    C

    creativity is usually based on the persistent practice.

    D

    people can’t find anything to describe until after years of practices.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题由题干关键词定位到文章第三段。该段第六句中的in letters意为“在文字、写作方面”,而不是说他擅长写信,故A项理解错误,可排除。选项B是对原文中莎士比亚直接继承了一个流派的曲解,故排除。D项的表述过于绝对,属于过度推断,也可排除。由第三段尾句可以看出,作者认为要培养独创性最重要的还是要坚持不懈的练习,故答案为C项。

    Practice 1  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face-to-face. What are the effects of this on an individual and society as a whole?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Asking if virtual life will replace real life is like asking if singles' chatrooms will replace real dating. Human face-to-face interaction is, and will always be, the most effective form of communication.
    First and foremost. Live meetings deliver more potent experiences that virtual meetings cannot. They deliver motivation along with messages, and inspiration with information. Face to face allow people to observe others to make better judgment or use more than words to express their ideas. That's why corporations that want to inspire a sales force to perform better or build confidence with customers are continuing to rely on the punch that live events deliver, namely, expos.
    Still, while the virtual meetings will never entirely replace the live ones, the technology has a place within physical events, which shows the advantage over face-to-face communication. The shortcomings of the traditional meeting model, with a presenter talking on the stage and passive audience wasting time, have become clear with the rise of interactive and social networking instruments. These advances provided companies to incorporate better peer-to-peer and audience-to-presenter interaction. On the contrary, virtual life also isolates people without notice. Due to lack of timely feedback and negotiation, confusion and misunderstandings will spring out. High technology can hardly show emotions and feeling fully and properly. Emoticons can not tell everything. In other words, it is difficult to convey sarcasm or anger in an email or a text.
    In summary, face-to-face and virtual chat will coexist in modem society. Personally, I am not in favor of having arguments electronically. Technology can be great to get in contact with someone and very convenient when they further along in a relationship, but never use it as a replacement for the real thing. For all of its usefulness, it is very hard to cuddle with a cell phone.
