【主旨大意】本文是一篇议论文。通常情况下，当所有的活动以常规方式进行的时候就会变得无聊。最初的期待和信心也许会在很短的时间里消褪。这个规律对于各个年龄阶段的人都是一样的。文章通过几个事例说明了这一观点。

1．【答案】A

【解析】根据文章第一句可知，作者提出的是一般性的规律。而这一规律适合各个年龄段的人。principle 意为“原则；准则”；habit意为“习惯”；way意为“方法”；power意为“权力”。故选A项。

2．【答案】D

【解析】根据下文所提到的不同年龄段的事例，可以推断此空应为“年龄”。故选D项。 3．【答案】C

【解析】根据语境可知，圣诞节早上，孩子们应该是玩新玩具。play with 为固定搭配，意为“玩，玩弄”。故选C项。

4．【答案】B

【解析】根据语境可知，孩子们圣诞节早上在玩玩具，但很快这样的兴致就渐渐消褪了。confidence意为“信心”；interest意为“兴趣”；anxiety意为“焦虑”；sorrow意为“悲伤”。故选B项。

5．【答案】A

【解析】根据文章主旨和语境可以推断出，孩子们应该是对这些玩具失去了兴趣，玩具被放到了地下室中。故选A项。

6．【答案】D

【解析】根据文章主旨和本句前后逻辑关系可知，人们经常会留下一些放了一半邮票的集邮册和未完成的模型；另外根据并列连词and可知，其后应为与unfinished同类意义的词汇，故选half-filled(半充满的)。well-organized意为“有条理的”；colorfully-printed意为“彩印的”；newly-collected 意为“新收集的”。故选D项。

7．【答案】B

【解析】根据语境可知，人们常常因为失去兴趣而使一些事情半途而废，因此每一个没有完成的集邮册或者模型都是人们一时兴趣的证明。passing interest 意为“一时的兴趣”。故选B项。

8．【答案】C

【解析】根据文章主旨可知，人们对待新事物都是充满好奇心的。因此，孩子们应该是非常乐于给新宠物洗澡。故选C项。

9．【答案】B

【解析】根据语境可知，很短的时间内，孩子们就失去了对宠物的兴趣，对于宠物的照顾就变成了负担，并将这项负担转移到了父母那儿。故选B项。

10．【答案】D

【解析】根据常识可以推断，青少年对于读高中肯定是非常兴奋的。courage 意为“勇气”；calmness 意为“平静”；confusion意为“困惑”；excitement意为“兴奋”。故选D项。

11．【答案】A

【解析】根据文章主旨可知，这些青少年对高中生活的新鲜感会很快过去，之后就期盼毕业。故选A项。

12．【答案】C

【解析】根据下文中提到的抱怨开车上班，可以推断此空应该是成年人。故选C项。 13．【答案】B

【解析】根据文章主旨和语境可推断，人们拿到驾照的那一刻应该是急切地想要开车。carefully意为“小心地”；eagerly意为“急切地”；nervously意为“紧张地”；bravely意为“勇敢地”。故选B项。

14．【答案】B

【解析】根据语境可知，开车肯定要先获得驾照。require 意为“要求”；obtain意为“获得”；notice意为“注意”；discover意为“发现”。故选B项。

15．【答案】D

【解析】根据语境可知，此处是指人们在退休前对退休后的生活进行规划。故选D项。 16．【答案】A

【解析】根据语境可以推断，退休前的计划肯定是一些工作时一直渴望去做却无法实施的事情。对于他们来说一定是一些重要的或者是极好的事。故选A项。

17．【答案】A

【解析】人们在工作时与退休后相比，工作的时候缺少的不会是钱、技术和知识，而应该是时间。故选A项。

18．【答案】D

【解析】根据文章主旨可以推断，退休后不久，人们对一些消遣活动的兴趣便很快消褪了。故选D项。

19．【答案】C

【解析】根据语境，此空应该是指人们退休后不再做的工作。lose意为“失去”；choose意为“选择”；leave意为“离开”；quit 意为“辞职”。故选C项。

20．【答案】B

【解析】本空回到文章主旨，前后照应。此处应该是指像孩子们一样厌倦了旧玩具，去寻找新的玩具。故选B项。
