Question

【題目】You have heard it said many times — the only thing constant in life is change. Change happens in every area in our lives, such as moving into a new apartment or home and changes in career or business. So we cannot avoid change in life. 【1】 Here are some of the benefits of change:

Change leads to opportunities. You will realize that each change in your life is actually an invitation to new opportunities. Remember every new opportunity has its own benefits.【2】 However, it is always advisable to consider the benefits that those new opportunities will bring. If you accept changes in your life, you will benefit from each new opportunity.

Change means progress. If you look back to your life ten years ago, you were very different from what you are today. 【5】 This is called progress. And these growth experiences are the reason why you should appreciate changes in your life.

【解析】這是一篇說明文，介紹生活的“改變”會(huì)給我們帶來很多好處，文章列出了三個(gè)益處：變化能夠給我們提供很多機(jī)會(huì)，變化能夠使生活充滿樂趣。變化使人進(jìn)步。作者認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該正視生活中的改變，好好利用其積極的一面。

【1】Luckily, change is important in our lives.空白處上一句“So we cannot avoid change in life”，因此我們不能避免生活中的各種改變，而下一句“ Here are some of the benefits of change”，此處明顯是轉(zhuǎn)折，A選項(xiàng)“Luckily”而幸運(yùn)的是，表轉(zhuǎn)折。意為雖然生活中的變化無處不在，但是幸運(yùn)的是變化在我們的生活中很重要，它會(huì)給我們的生活帶來很多好處。故選A。

【2】You may reject these opportunities, whenever they come .第二段介紹變化給我們帶來的好處之一是它能給我們的生活提供很多新的機(jī)會(huì)，空白出下一句“However, it is always advisable to consider the benefits that those new opportunities will bring.”However，然而，表轉(zhuǎn)折；明智的做法是....所以空白處應(yīng)該是與其相對的“拒絕機(jī)會(huì)”的做法。故選D。

【3】Change is one thing that makes our lives interesting.需要填寫第三段的主題句，也就是生活中的“變化”能帶來的另一個(gè)好處。根據(jù)下一句“If you are used to doing the same thing over and over again, you may get bored, and lose the interest in your life”如果重復(fù)做一件事，你會(huì)厭倦無聊，失去興趣。所以生活中的改變帶來的好處之一是讓我們的生活有趣，而不感到無聊。故選C。

【4】Technologies, trends, and politics keep on changing.空白處下一句“These make life exciting.”這些讓生活充滿激情，這里的“These”指代的就是空白處應(yīng)該填的內(nèi)容，結(jié)合上句討論的“Remember that the world is always in a continuous motion”，“要知道世界總在變化”，空白處舉例哪些變化，包括科技、潮流、政治等都處于變化。故選B。

【5】There are many things that have happened in your life, which helped you grow.第四段談?wù)摰氖?/span>“改變意味著進(jìn)步”空白處下一句“This is called progress. And these growth experiences are the reason why you should appreciate changes in your life.”這叫做進(jìn)步，這些成長的經(jīng)歷是你應(yīng)該贊賞你生活中的改變的原因。生活中的改變幫助你成長，故選G。
