Each person in his own __2__ can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique __3__ — his capabilities and limitations.__4__ can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right — a winner.

The words “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer __5__ a person as a winner, we do not mean one who beats the other guy __6__ winning over him and making him lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being __7__, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of __8__.

A loser is one who fails to respond authentically. Martin Buber __9 _ this idea as he retells an old story of a rabbi who on his __10__ bed sees himself as a loser. The rabbi laments that, in the world to come, he will not be asked why he wasn’t Moses. he will be asked why he wasn’t himself.

1.【答案】B。

【解析】此题为语法题。that引导定语从句,前面不能加介词。what在宾语从句中作needs的宾语,表示不具体的“东西”,因此为正确答案。

2.【答案】A。

【解析】此题考查固定搭配。in one’s (own) way“以某人(自己)的方式”是固定搭配。 B. case案件,情况,与文章意思不符。选C. method,无意义。D. 口味,胃口,不相符。

3.【答案】C。

【解析】此题考查词义辨析。空后的capabilities and limitation就是对所填之词的解释,因此potentials“潜力”为最佳选择项。A.可能性.B.能力(只说明一个方面) .D.能量。

4.【答案】D。

【解析】此题考查考生的语感。此空缺主语,选项中只有C不能作主语。上文的句式皆为each 引出的平行结构,据此,可猜出这儿也填Each。

5.【答案】B。

【解析】此题考查固定搭配。这一题考介动词搭配,refer to“指的是,指,参考”为固定搭配。其他三个介词均不与refer搭配。

6.【答案】D。

【解析】此题考查介词用法。表示“通过……方法(式)”时常用by (或through) doing结构。

7.【答案】C。

【解析】此题考查考生的语感。根据being 和形容词trustworthy 可推测该空一定是形容词。credit v. 相信；believing相信( 现在分词) . credible adj. 可信的；believed被相信的。

8.【答案】A。

【解析】此题为词义辨析题。前文提到的是个人,与之对应的应是社会,因此A. 为正确答案。 B. 集团.C. 社区,团体. D政党,党派。

9.【答案】D。

【解析】此题考查词的搭配。动词talk, tell, speak 一般都不与idea 搭配。 express the/ones idea表达观点。

10.【答案】B。

【解析】此题考查习惯用法。death bed是习惯用语,意为“临终, 人死之前睡的床”。
