When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to advise me against becoming a brewer(釀酒人). He’d  36  his life brewing beer for local breweries only to make a living, 37  were his father and grandfather before him. He didn’t want me  38  near a vat (釀酒用的桶)of beer.
  So I did as he asked. I got good  39  , went to Harvard and in 1971 was accepted into a graduate program there that  40  me to study law and business at the same time.
  In my second year of grade school, I began to realize that I’d  41  done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out.  42  , my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that you can’t 43 till you’re 65 to do what you want in life.
  I packed my stuff into a bus and headed to Colorado to become an instructor at Outward Bound. Three years later, I was ready to go back to  44  . I finished Harvard and got a highly paid job at the Boston Consulting Group. Still, after working there five years, I  45  . Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50? At that time, Americans paid  46  money of beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for  47  ? I thought.
  I decided to give up my job to become  48 . When I told Dad, he was  49  , but in the end he  50  me. I called my beer Samuel Adams,  51  the brewer and patriot who helped to start the Boston Tea party.  52  I sold the beer direct to beer drinkers to get 53 out. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Samuel Adams Boston Lager won the top prize for American beer. In the end I was destined to be a brewer. My 54 to the young is simple: Life is very  55  , so don’t rush to make decisions. Life doesn’t let you plan.

解析試題分析:
【小題1】B   spend time doing sth. 是固定結(jié)構(gòu),意思是“把時間花在做……上”。
【小題2】C 倒裝句!皊o+倒裝句”表示“另一個人或物的情況與前面相同”。
【小題3】A  anywhere用于否定句中。
【小題4】C 據(jù)上下文可知,作者服從了父親的安排并獲得了良好的成績。
【小題5】D 學(xué)校允許我學(xué)習(xí)法律和商業(yè)。allow sb to do sth.“允許某人做某事”。
【小題6】A  never...anything=nothing。
【小題7】B 我想退學(xué),顯然父母不會同意,其他不合題意。
【小題8】D “不能等到人老了才做自己愿做的事”。
【小題9】A 下文finished Harvard提供了回來學(xué)習(xí)的信息,因而為go back to school。
【小題10】C 這句話是作者對自己生活的疑惑。
【小題11】C 本句意思是啤酒很貴,但質(zhì)量不佳。
【小題12】D 上文提到Americans 高價買質(zhì)量不好的啤酒,因而本句應(yīng)為為Americans制造高質(zhì)量的啤酒。
【小題13】B 從下文可知,作者要放棄原來的工作,成為釀酒人。
【小題14】A 當(dāng)我告訴父親時,他對我的想法不是很滿意或感興趣,而是奇怪,因?yàn)槲恼乱婚_始就告訴我們作者的父親不想讓他成為釀酒人。
【小題15】B   but表轉(zhuǎn)折,表明最后他同意和支持我,故答案為B。
【小題16】D  name sth... after為一固定搭配。 after有“根據(jù).依據(jù)”的意思。
【小題17】C  also “而且”,作者首先給他的啤酒起了一個好名字,同時又直銷給喝酒人。
【小題18】B 把“酒的名字”傳出去,使這一“name”有了名氣。
【小題19】A 從后面的幾句話可知,作者是在給讀者“忠告”,advice“忠告.勸告.建議”。
【小題20】D 從“不要急于做決定”,可知作者是想表達(dá)“人的一生很長久”的意思,所以也就有了“生活不一定按你的計(jì)劃進(jìn)行”。

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___  ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (離婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about  ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___  !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that,   ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33  for years—often from   34  childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  36  my development? I was never   37  to work on cars or be around   38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42  and told him about my   43  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44  is it that you can solve   45  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  46  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  48  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   49  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   50  we choose.
