41、每个人在生活中都有不幸的事。当我们牢记这一点时，我们与别人的交往也就变得容易了。16B根据语境可知生活卡片跟商业名片相似(similar)，但也有不同之处。17D本空前recording有提示。18B既然是life card，那么列举的应该是生活(life)中已经发生的事。19A你想让对方在和你打交道之前了解(know)这些事，而不用你花费时间去解释。20C由下文的“She talks about having to deal with insensitive ments”可知，她谈到了自己的经历(experiences)。21B由上文的insensitive ments可知，这里填unfor
42、table符合语境。22C有些谈话令人不舒服是因为这些人不知道发生过(happened)什么事情。23D她希望能有属于自己的(own)生活卡片。24A见下一题解析。25B有了生活卡片，你就可以把那些希望在别人跟你交往(relationship)之前就能了解的情况写在(put down)卡片上。26C卡片上可以写有(say)自己的各种不幸。27D见下一题解析。28C有了这些信息(information)，其他人跟你交谈时就会注意自己的言语(words)，避免对你造成伤害。29B由上文的harm可知，这里说的是我们必须忍受他人给我们造成的伤害(hurt)。30A我们得忍受那些不知情(underst
43、and)的人对我们的言语伤害。understand与know表达的意思一致。31B也许，这会让我们变得更坚强，或者至少让我们学会了(learn)保护自己。32D见下一题解析。33C这些伤害教会(teach)我们的是，在跟别人打交道时，我们需要把生活卡片的主意记在心(mind)上。34A你在生活中会遇到不幸，记住(remember)，其他人也都有自己的不幸。35C“记住别人也有不幸”和“采取不同的态度对待别人”之间是顺承关系，故选and。第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。_36_ we know,
44、 we are all in _37_ of friends. A good friend is kind enough _38_(overlook) our mistakes and help us out when we are in trouble. And true friendship will not fade _39_ with time.

Im so lucky to have a good fr
46、iend like him.答案与解析36Asas“正如”，引导非限制性定语从句，代替后面整句话的内容。37needin need of“需要”。38to overlook根据be形容词enoughto do sth.结构可知该空填不定式to overlook。39outfade out“消逝”。40OneOne day“一天”。本句句意：一天，我被邀请参加晚会。41was shown所给词在句中作谓语，表过去的动作，且show与主语I为被动关系，故填was shown。42pronouncing根据have difficulty in doing sth.“做某事有困难”句式可知该空填动名词
47、作宾语。43who/that去掉it was和空格后可判断出空格所在句为强调句，且空格前是Jack，强调人，故该空填who/that。44Every/Eachevery/each time“每次”引导时间状语从句。45moreonce more“再一次”。第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(每小题1分，满分10分)英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词。2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。3必须按答题要求做题，否则不给分。Dear Peter，Im
