But in the past such men have, as a rule, failed to interest the very victims of the injustices (15) they wished to remedy.（分数：15.00）A.ifB.either C.whenD.both解析：at large，普遍地；either. or.，既又，两者的选择。后半句有 or，可以断定选项B either 正确。无论男女，在他们度过一生时，既不考虑自身的条件
25、，也不考虑整个世界的环境。the world at large，整个世界。A.assureB.puzzledC.certain D.happy解析：全句的意思是人们通常比较认命，对于自己的出生和环境不会多想。“and they accept”表示对前面提到的事物的肯定。根据文章大意，他们出生在社会怎样的地方；再查看选项，选项 B 和 D 可以排除了。assure，肯定；certain，特定。排除选项 C。他们发现自己出生在特定的社会环境中。A.wasB.finishesC.brings D.is missing解析：finish，完成；miss，错过。根据上下文大意，应选 C，bring，带给
26、。并自然地接受了这个环境所给予他们的一切，从不作深层次的思考。A.satisfaction B.tortureC.sorrowD.luxury解析：satisfaction，满足；torture，痛苦；sorrow，悲伤；luxury，奢侈。根据上下文可以判断这些人实际上没有什么比较高的奢望，所以选项 D 可以排除。选项 B 和 C 实际上是同一角度，只是层次不同。而人们不可能寻求痛苦，所以排除。他们寻求瞬间的满足。A.withB.without C.byD.in解析：“they seekbe changed”是完整的一句：他们寻求的是瞬间的满足，既不深谋远虑，也不思考如果他们付出足够的努力，
27、他们的生活条件是可以改善的。两个 without 并列说明两者都没有。that 引导 thinking 的宾语从句，by sufficient effort 短语作方式状语，the conditions of their lives 是从句中的主语部分。A.could B.mustC.wouldD.had better解析：could，能够（表示可能性）；must，一定，必须（口气肯定，强烈）；would，会，将会；had better 最好。如果他们付出足够的努力，他们的生活条件是可以改善的。A.effortB.decisionC.careerD.ambition 解析：effort，努力；
28、decision，决定；career，事业；ambition，志向，抱负。有个人志向的人占有一定的比例。A.numerousB.innocentC.honestD.fortunate 解析：numerous，为数众多的。前面已经说了 a certain percentage（一定比例），这一群人的数量不会很多，所以排除选项 A。innocent，单纯的；honest，真诚的；这也是近乎同一角度的词，可以排除。fortunate，幸运的。按照作者的观点或文章的口气。应该断定：人应该有抱负。所以，选项 D 应是正确的。他们做了思想和意志上的努力。这些人是幸运的群体。A.himB.themC.the
29、mselves D.anyone解析：这里的人称代词指的应是 they，反身代词“他们自己”就应是选项 C。即使这些人中也极少有人真正考虑捍卫他们自身的权益。A.themselvesB.othersC.mankind D.a few解析：这篇文章把人分成三个群组。第一群组没有志向，为数最多；第二群组有志向，但关心的是自身的改善，为数次之；第三组，关心整个人类，为数极少。只有极少数特别的人怀有对整个人类的真正的爱，而不能容忍广大群体的罪恶与痛苦。A.despiteB.regardless C.becauseD.on account解析：regardless of,不管，不顾一切；despite
30、of，尽管；because of,由于；on account of,因为。不管这些是否与他们自身的生存有关。A.manyB.lotC.veryD.few 解析：根据上下文可知，应为这些少数人。所以，选项 D 是正确的。A.problemsB.themselvesC.excusesD.joy 解析：more full ofless full of，前后应相反。后面已有 evil 定性，所以选择 joy。这些饱受痛苦的人将寻找新的社会体系，从而使人类的生命更快乐，进而减少可防止的罪恶。A.than B.whichC.althoughD.when解析：lessthan 使罪恶比现在少。A.whoB.
31、which C.whereD.whom解析：然而过去，这些人没有注意到那些不公正的牺牲品。which 代表“不公正”这件事。这正是他们希望纠正的。Gallaudet University currently does not allow students to keep pets in their dorm rooms.

38、；exciting，令人激动的。作者对校方制定的“宿舍内禁养宠物”的规定提出反对意见。作者认为，除了为残疾人服务的动物会给人带来益处外，其他的宠物也能达到这个效果。A.allowed B.forbiddenC.fedD.taken解析：allowed，允许；forbidden，禁止；fed，喂养：taken，带走。作者认为，在宿舍内应允许养宠物。下面的段落作者说明了学生养宠物的几个好处。A.stress B.headachesC.funD.tuition解析：demanding，需求。这句话的意思是学校对学生的要求很高，意味着学生的压力很大。宠物可以减轻学生在诸多方面承受的压力。A.restB
39、.placeC.break D.time解析：have a rest 或 take a rest，休息。coffee break 或 tea break，工作时间的中间休息。study break，学习的间歇。跟宠物玩耍实际上是学习间的休息。A.distractedB.refreshed C.tiredD.stressed解析：distracted，分心；refreshed，精神振作；stressed，有压力的。当学生再返回学习时会感到精神重新振作起来。A.increaseB.raiseC.put offD.relieve 解析：increase，提高，增加；raise，提高，升起；put o

41、D.irresponsibility解析：responsibility，责任；carelessness粗心；French，法语；irresponsibility，不负责任；ir-前缀表示否定。养宠物还可使学生学会如何承担责任。A.amongB.between C.forD.ahead解析：among，在之中（三者或以上）；between A and B，A 与 B 之间。养宠物可使学生学会如何安排时间，例如学习与活动之间的时间安排。A.togetherB.quicklyC.independently D.carefully解析：上一句说在家里，这一句说在学校，二者在学生的行为上应是相反的。所以
42、应当选择与“依靠别人”相对的“独立”。养宠物的很多事情在家里是由父母做的，但到了学校就得由学生自己独立地去做。A.problemsB.creditsC.computersD.benefits 解析：上面说了诸多养宠物的好处，这里是一个总结性的词，即“益处”。总之，养宠物会有很多的益处。A.believeB.allowC.consider D.argue解析：believe，相信；allow，允许；consider，考虑；argue，争辩。学校应当考虑改变政策，允许学生在宿舍内养宠物。I am an American.
