只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。并结合选项可知，她认为自己内心的愤怒是其他所有人的错，因此只有believed与语境相符。2．选B　根据空格后“Themonktoldhertotake...”可知，她去向一个德高望重的高僧征求建议。3．选C　根据下文中的“Soshestoodoutside...”可知，高僧让她站在外面。4．选B　根据下文中的“watertopassersbyeveryday”可知，此处指的是当人们经过时，因此pass符合语境。5．选C　根据第一段第一句中的“Awomanwhohadabadtemper...theviolentrage(愤怒)insideher”可知，高僧让她给路过的每个人一杯水，直到她心中没有愤怒为止。由此可知，rage最恰当。6．选A　根据第三段第三句中的“servingwater”可知，她每天给过路的人供应水。在选项中，serve“供应，服务，招待”，符合语境。7．选B　根据语境可知，每天早晨她都问自己心中是否还有愤怒，因此if符合语境。8．选A　根据上一句可知，她每天问自己是否还有愤怒，每次的回答都是“还有”，因此她应该是继续给过路的人供应水。选项中continued与语境相符。9．选D　根据空格后的“outofherhand”，并结合选项可知，一个粗鲁的男人走过来，一把从她手里抢走了水壶，snatch“抢夺，抢走，强夺”，符合语境。10．选C　根据空格后的“outofit”可知，他直接从水壶里喝水，directly“直接地，立刻”，与语境相符。11．选C　根据上文中的“anuncontrollablefit”可知，她难以控制自己。12．选C　根据空格后的“intopieces”，并结合选项可知，此处指的是水壶砸在男人的头上，突然摔成了碎片。在选项中，broke可与空格后构成动词短语“breakintopieces”“摔成碎片”，与语境相符。13．选B　结合下一段内容可知，那个男子倒在地上，失去了知觉，unconscious“无意识的，失去知觉的，不省人事的”，符合语境。14．选D　根据空格后的“sherealizedwhatshehaddone”可知，当她冷静下来时，她意识到自己做了什么，calmdown“冷静下来”。15．选D　根据空格前的“Shereportedtheincidenttothepolice...”可知，两辆警车到达了现场，scene“现场，场面”，与语境相符。16．选B　根据上文中的“begantocry”可知，当一个警察走到她面前时，她还在呜咽，因此sobbing符合语境。17．选C　根据空格后的“youabig’thankyou’”，并结合选项可知，此处指的是这座城市应给予你感谢，owe“应给予，把……归因于，欠”，与语境相符。18．选D　结合上文的语境可知，那个男人是头号通缉犯。在选项中，wanted为形容词，意为“被通缉的”，可与空格前的most连用，意为“头号通缉犯”，符合语境。7 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。19．选B　根据本句中的“Nowweseeifwecompletelyridourselvesofourinnerdarkness”可知，我们总会做出正确的选择。故选B。20．选B　结合空格后的“lifeisn’tpredictable”可知，此处指毕竟生活是不可预测的，因此B项符合语境。Ⅱ.语篇解读：文章提及不同的时代对劳动者的能力提出了不同要求，指出劳动者需要终身学习以跟上科技的迅猛发展以及就业市场的快速变化。1．选C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一、二句可知，基本的读写能力已经不够用了。多年来，常规的劳动任务，即那些可以被一系列规则所描述出来的工作，已被技术产品和自动化所取代。故答案为C。2．选B　细节理解题。文章第三段第一句提到“不足为奇的是，以知识为基础的数字经济要求劳动者受到过更好的教育，具备特定的技能”，之后列举了我们身边各种各样的智能机器的名称。故答案为B。3．选A　推理判断题。文章第五段谈到麦肯锡全球研究所2011年的一份研究报告预测。根据该段最后两句可知，麦肯锡表示，企业在招聘技术岗位时已经感觉到难度很大，许多劳动者并不完全具备那些工作岗位所需的职业技能。故答案为A。4．选D　标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章谈及不同时代对劳动者不同的技能要求，由此可知，为满足不同时期的就业需要，劳动者需要不断地学习。故答案为D。Ⅲ.1.Title/Topic　2.tried　3.Types/Kinds　4.managed/scheduled/planned　5.addicted　6.intended/meant/designed　7.building8．cooperation/teamwork　9.Conclusion10．decision/choice7
