The air conditioner died; the well went dry; the marriage _8_; the job was lost; the money was gone. Only a popular Kansas City Royals team, bound for their first World Series, _9_ my spirits. Looking back on that _10_ summer, I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely _11_ the bad. I was owed and enjoyed the happy times.They _12_ me for the next dangerous surprise and offered _13_ that I can succeed. The 50-percent theory even helps me see _14_ beyond my Royals recent fall.

That winter my house was crowded with corn fat and healthy _17_ my neighbors fields yielded only brown and empty husks (壳) Although plantings that year may have fallen below the original _18_ and they probably will do so again in the future, I am _19_ encouraged by the crop that had a “good” _ 20_ during the drought. 语篇解读: 本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己在干旱的夏天种植玉米的经历体会到读懂 生活的常态需要时间和阅历, 也正是这样才练就了作者面对未来荣辱不惊的生活态度, 同 时作者也向我们介绍了其深信不疑的“对半理论”。 1A.worse B easier Cstranger D brighter 解析:选 A 根据空前的“ Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are”及下文作者阐述的“对半理论”可知, 生活中的事情一半比正常状态要好, 而另一半则比正常状态差。故空处应填worse 与 better构成对比。 2A.give out B take down Cdeal with D go through 解析:选 C 根据上文及下文作者对自己种玉米经历的描述可知, 此处作者想要传达的 是面对时好时坏的生活, 需要时间和阅历读懂生活的常态, 这样才能应对未来各种意想不 到的事情。 deal with “应对 , 处理”符合语境。 give out “分发 , 发出”; take down “拆 掉, 记下”; go through “通过, 经历”。 3A.slightly B regularly Cmagically D deliberately 解析:选 C 根据上文中的“ But there is vast grassland of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip-flop(突然改变 ) ”及下文作者描述的自己种玉米的经历 可知 , 好与坏之间有一大片生活的草原, 在这片草原上坏事和好事会奇妙地突然改变。 magically “魔力般地, 奇妙地”符合语境。 slightly“轻微地”; regularly“定时地”; deliberately“故意地”。 4A.break through B believe in Ccheck on D pick up 解析:选 B 根据上文 , 尤其是“ Life is a clock swing.
