【文章大意】

如何尋找你的人生價(jià)值，確立你的人生目標(biāo)？本文圍繞這一話題提出了幾點(diǎn)具體可行的建議。

【答案與解析】

1. 選B。動(dòng)詞do 與介詞with 搭配，do with sth. 的意思為“處理，應(yīng)付”，與文章的意思相符。

2. 選C。 動(dòng)詞pursue的意思為“追求，實(shí)行”，pursue ones dream的意思為“追逐某人的夢想”。

3. 選A。It takes sth. to do sth. 意思為“花費(fèi)……做某事”，可以是花費(fèi)“時(shí)間”也可以是花費(fèi)“精力”等。此處的意思是“需要一定的實(shí)踐才能了解自己的真實(shí)愿望”。

4. 選D。feel like的意思是“有……的感覺”?！癉oes your job feel like a grind？”的意思是“你的工作是否感覺像苦差事？”

5. 選D。take an opportunity的意思為“抓住機(jī)會(huì)”；take advantage of的意思為“利用”，但是中間不可加an。其他選項(xiàng)的意思與文章內(nèi)容差異更大。

6. 選B。此句的意思為“你可以決定你想成為什么樣的人”，其他意思與文章內(nèi)容不符。

7. 選D。此句的意思為“應(yīng)該想想你要成為什么樣的人，而不是專注于你想做什么?！眲?dòng)詞concentrate與介詞on搭配的意思是“專注于”，與上下文意思相符。

8. 選A。in terms of的意思是“根據(jù)，就……而言”。

9. 選D。此處動(dòng)詞guide在搭配和意思上都與文章相符，意思為“引導(dǎo)”。

10. 選A。此句為主題句，意思是“工作要用心去做。”bring是“帶來”的意思；send是“送，派遣”的意思；fetch是“去拿來”的意思；carry是“攜帶，搬運(yùn)”的意思。

11. 選B。passion在此處是“激情，熱情”的意思，因?yàn)槭且獙ふ易约合矚g的職業(yè)，所以需要激情和勇氣。

12. 選C。此題考查語法。well spent的意思是“值得花的時(shí)間”，spent與前面的名詞“time”構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系。

13. 選A。make all the difference 的意思是“大不相同”，其他名詞的意思與上下文不符。

14. 選C。從下文中的“Dont be afraid to change because of your experiences.”可以看出此處應(yīng)該是指艱難的時(shí)光。

15. 選B。steer的意思是“操縱,引導(dǎo)”。句子“l(fā)et them shape and steer your course”的意思是：讓這些決定和引導(dǎo)你的發(fā)展方向。

16. 選D。此句的意思是“后悔度過的不快樂和沒有成就感的時(shí)光”。disappointing不可用于修飾人；A選項(xiàng)和C選項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思不可能會(huì)后悔。

17. 選A。destiny的意思是“命運(yùn)，命數(shù)”，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有destiny的意思最為貼切。

18. 選B。本句是一個(gè)not...until的句型，意思是“直到……才”。本句的意思是：直到你愿意走出你的安樂窩，命運(yùn)才會(huì)青睞你。

19. 選A。life purpose的意思是“人生目的”。全句的意思為：尋找你的人生價(jià)值和意義不是一朝一夕的事。其他選項(xiàng)的意思不符。

20. 選D。本題考查語法。動(dòng)詞make后用不帶to的不定式做賓語補(bǔ)足語。
