【解析】 为了让我有良好的职业道德，严格的父母不允许我缺课。直到上周，在公交上听到一个男子抱怨自己的生活，我才明白其意义。任何事情情的成功，必须有长期坚持不懈的努力。

1.D

考查动词辨析。根据第一句“In my childhood, I envied my classmates very much as my absence from school was not allowed due to my strict parents.”可知，作者小时候非常羡慕同学，因为父母亲很严格不允许作者缺课，因此作者要呆在家必须向家长撒谎，故选D项lying。

2.B

考查动词。本段叙述作者小时候的事情，故用B项used to（过去常常……）。A项need to do“需要做……”，C项agree to do“同意做……”，D项ought to“应该……”

3.D

考查形容词。结合前文，父母亲一直不让作者缺课，是引导作者要有良好的职业道德。A项different“不同的”，B项reliable“可靠的”，C项standard“标准的”，均不符合题意。

4.B

考查名词。直到上周我才明白父母不让我缺课并引导我有良好职业道德的意义（significance），故选B项。evidence证据， answer答案， result结果。

5.D

考查动词。根据下文该男子和朋友的交谈内容可知，该男子向朋友抱怨自己的生活，故选D项。complain，complain to sb. About…“向……抱怨……”。writing“写”， explaining“解释”， reflecting“反应”，均不合题意。

6. C

考查动词辨析。与名词dream搭配，应用follow，表“追寻梦想”，故选C项。support“支持”， make“制作”， change“改变”。

7.A

考查固定搭配。该男子不回去追寻自己当导演的梦想，因为他不知道他是否能赚到足够的钱，have no idea是固定短语，表“不知道”，相当于don’t know，故选A项。doubt“怀疑”， evidence“证据”， sign“迹象”。

8.C

考查名词。由下文“because it probably would take months or years to…”可知，他不想浪费时间（time），故选C项。 luck“运气”， money“钱”，opportunity“机会”

9.C

考查动词。根据句子结构，该空后的it和big分别是该动词后的宾语和宾补，四个选项中可以加宾语和宾补的只有make，故选C项。 take“带走”， promote“提升；促进” create“创造”。

【名师点睛】make make+宾语+宾语补足语

make用作使役动词表示 “使；使成为” 时，可跟复合结构，即“make+宾语+宾语补足语”，其中的宾语补足语可以是不带to的不定式、过去分词、形容词或名词。现将make的复合宾语结构小结如下：

1.“make＋宾语＋n.” 意为“使、让某人 / 某物(成为)……”。

2.“make＋宾语＋adj.” 意为 “使某人 / 某事(变得)……”。如

We must make the rivers clean. 我们必须净化河水

3.“make＋宾语＋do sth.（不带to的不定式）”意为 “使某人做某事”。如: What makes the grass grow? 什么东西使得草生长？

4.“make＋宾语＋Ｖ-ed（过去分词作宾补）”这个结构指宾语接受后面的那个动作，表示被动的意思，意为 “使某人 / 某事被……”。如：

The strange noise made us frightened. 奇怪的声音使我们感到恐惧

5.“make+宾语+V-ing（现在分词）”这一结构表示的意思是“使某人 / 某事一直在„„”。现在分词与宾语之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。如：

He makes the boy standing all the time. 他让那个男孩一直站着

10.D

考查名词。根据下文“Taking pictures is good because you can make big money and only work short hours.”可知，该男子承认考虑过要成为一名摄影（photographer），故选D项。

11.C

考查副词辨析。结合上下文，该男子想成为摄影师，他认为当摄影师很容易在一年之内就能赚到六位数，选C项easily。 gently“温和地”， eagerly“渴望地”， carefully。

12.C

考查名词。根据上文“he didn’t want to waste time because it probably would take months or years to make it big.”可知，该男子不愿浪费时间，因为它也许要花好长时间，故选C项desire，此处have no desire to对应前文的didn’t want to。 choice“选择”， time“时间”， chance“机会”不符合语境。

13.D

考查动词。现在许多人并未意识到……，故选D项。understand “理解”， guarantee表“保证”， recognize表“辨认出”。

14.B

考查名词。仅仅是因为人们已经将很多的努力、决心和时间投入到了其中。decision“决定”， pressure“压力”， intelligence“智商”

15.C

考查连词。该空是宾语从句的引导词，再结合句意，表示你可能会知道某人是否为特定领域的专家，故选whether“是否”。

16.A

考查形容词。根据本段第一句内容“when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of effort, determination and time have gone into it.”可知，事情看起来越容易，人们在这件事情上投入的时间越多，故选A项。

17.C

考查名词。结合整篇文章内容，任何事情都要投入时间、决心和努力，因此没有懒惰的理由，故选 excuse。 explanation“解释”， statement“陈述”， possibility“可能”均不合语境。

18.D

考查动词。根据下一句“here’s how you start paying for it, in sweat.”可知，要想成名，就必须付出代价，故选D项costs。 Matters“重要”， arises“出现”， works“奏效，起作用”。

19.C

考查形容词。舞蹈老师的观点和父亲的观点一致，所以他会重复说她是多么正确（right），故选C项。

20.A

考查动词。结合本文主旨，要成功就必须坚持不懈的努力，故选A项succeed。
