【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了在我們的人生中，我們要學(xué)會(huì)寬容別人，學(xué)會(huì)諒解別人不要總是糾正，學(xué)會(huì)傾聽，才能得到別人的愛戴

1.A考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. show展示；B. ask問(wèn)；C. prove證明；D. teach教；此處指有些人總是指出別人的立場(chǎng)、觀點(diǎn)等是錯(cuò)誤的。show后跟的是how引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。干擾性比較大的是teach，teach。b．ste教(會(huì))某人什么，但后面一般不跟從句，故選A項(xiàng)。

2.2】C考查形容詞辨析A. unimportant不重要的；B. unbelievable難以置信的；C. incorrect不正確的；D. imperfect不完美的；由下文“糾iE"別人可知。文章的第一段用以提出問(wèn)題，有些人老是指出別人的觀點(diǎn)、立場(chǎng)等“不對(duì)”，因此選incorrect，相當(dāng)于wrong。其他選項(xiàng)“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都與前后文出現(xiàn)的“糾正"別人在表達(dá)的邏輯上不一致。

3.3】B考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. consider考慮；B. appreciate感激；C. understand 理解；D. refuse拒絕；有些人在指出別人 錯(cuò)誤的同時(shí)，期望別人會(huì)“感激”他們。首先refuses!拒絕”在此與作者所表達(dá)的意義相反，consider“考慮”，understand“理解”都沒(méi)有把握好上下文的聯(lián)系和提示。上文已經(jīng)提到thank一詞，故選B項(xiàng)。

4.4】D考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. fooled戲弄；B. helped幫助；C. Taught 教；D. corrected糾正；此處作者以反問(wèn)的形式指出：你在“糾正’’別人的時(shí)候，別人感激過(guò)你嗎?correct此處用作動(dòng)詞，意為“糾正”。fooled"欺騙”，helped"幫助”，與“感激’’在邏輯上矛盾；taught"教學(xué)”，意義不通，故選D項(xiàng)。

5.5】A考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. thanked感謝；B. rewarded獎(jiǎng)賞；C. cared關(guān)心；D. accepted接受；此處整句都是作者的反問(wèn)，言外之義：你在糾正別人的時(shí)候，別人并沒(méi)有“感激”你，而是怨恨你、對(duì)你敬而遠(yuǎn)之，故選A項(xiàng)。

6.6】C考查名詞辨析A. side邊；B. price價(jià)格；C. expense費(fèi)用；D. cost花費(fèi)；atone'sexpense意為“以犧牲……為代價(jià)”。此處有踩著別人的肩膀往上爬之意。英語(yǔ)中。none's side是“站在某人一邊”；prtce指的是“價(jià)格”；cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”，故選C項(xiàng)。

7.7】B考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. like喜歡；B. hate討厭；C. prefer 更喜歡；D. afford買得起；此處作者指出實(shí)際的情況：我們都“不喜歡、痛恨”被別人“糾正”，hate to be done"痛恨、不喜歡被……”。like“喜歡”，prefer"更喜歡”偏離了此處的意義；afford to do意為“有錢干……，故選B項(xiàng)。

8.8】D考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. admired欽佩；B. received收到；C. realized 意識(shí)到；D. respected尊敬；由后面的understood可知，我們都希望自己的立場(chǎng)得到別人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在語(yǔ)意上意味太強(qiáng)；receive"收到(具體的東西)”，realized"實(shí)現(xiàn)”不符合表達(dá)的需要，故選D項(xiàng)。

9.9】C考查名詞辨析A. shortcomings缺點(diǎn)；B. advantages優(yōu)點(diǎn)；C. desires愿望；D. wishes希望；指我們內(nèi)心的“欲望”。shortcomings"缺點(diǎn)”，advantages"優(yōu)點(diǎn)”，從意思上很容易排除；wishes干擾性較大，意思是“理想”，語(yǔ)意太強(qiáng)，而且與后面的 of the human heart不搭配。故選C項(xiàng)。

10.0】D考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. talk 談?wù)�；B. praise表?yè)P(yáng)；C. help幫助；D. listen聽；學(xué)會(huì)“傾聽”別人的觀點(diǎn)，才能得到別人的愛戴和尊敬。從不要老去糾正別人，而應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)“傾聽”這一角度，就能排除其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

11.1】A考查名詞辨析A. habit 習(xí)慣；B. form形式；C. position 位置；D. purpose目的；be in the habit of相當(dāng)于have the habit of，故選A項(xiàng)。

12.2】B考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. punished懲罰；B. avoided避免；C. left離開；D. scolded責(zé)罵；由前面的“怨恨”可知，老是糾正別人會(huì)引起別人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”，不符合此處表達(dá)的意義；punished"懲罰”和scolded"批評(píng)”表達(dá)上太絕對(duì)，故選B項(xiàng)。

13.3】C考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. letting讓；B. lending借出；C. allowing允許；D. owing虧欠；allowsb．sth．“允許某人擁有……”。1et沒(méi)有此搭配；lendsb．sth．意為“借給某人某物”；owesb．sth．意為“欠某人什么”，故選C項(xiàng)。

14.4】A考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. Stop阻止；B. Continue繼續(xù)；C. Practise練習(xí)；D. Try嘗試；作者建議：“別再老是‘糾正’別人”，故用stopdoine"停止干……”，故選A項(xiàng)。

15.5】C考查副詞辨析jumpin相當(dāng)于breakin"插話、打斷別人”。理解了此處的意思，便可排除其他選項(xiàng)，break out當(dāng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、火災(zāi)、爭(zhēng)吵等“爆發(fā)”講；break up當(dāng)物體或關(guān)系“破裂”講；breakoff當(dāng)“掙脫”或“打斷(鎖鏈等)”講，故選C項(xiàng)。

16.6】D考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. last持續(xù)；B. go去；C. work 工作；D. stand站，忍受；stand意為“站得住腳、能成立”講。last"持續(xù)”，work用作不及物動(dòng)詞，意為“起作用”，都脫離了作者表達(dá)的意圖，故選D項(xiàng)。

17.7】B考查形容詞辨析A. helpful有幫助的；B. loving可愛的；C. careful仔細(xì)的；D. popular流行的；此處應(yīng)考慮與前面less defensive"減少敵意”在表達(dá)的邏輯上要一致，故選B項(xiàng)。

18.8】A考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. dreamed夢(mèng)想；B. wanted想；C. asked問(wèn)；D. demanded要求；此處作者表達(dá)的意思是：一旦你停止糾正別人，別人就會(huì)對(duì)你非常感激，超出你的期望。 此處應(yīng)從“超出期望”這一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”，wanted“想”語(yǔ)意太弱，故選A項(xiàng)。

19.9】D考查名詞辨析A. sufferings 苦痛；B. worries擔(dān)憂；C. success成功；D. happiness幸福；目睹別人因?yàn)檎�確而獲得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨難”，worries"擔(dān)心的事”，success"成功”，都偏離了文章的意義，故選D項(xiàng)。

20.20】B考查形容詞辨析A. happy 快樂(lè)的；B. right 正確的；C. sorry抱歉；D. proud驕傲；由全文可知，這是作者議論的中心：讓別人“對(duì)”吧，故選B項(xiàng)。
