They have loans,bills. . . ”可知,最终他们的期望落空,前后句之间是转折关系,yet “然而”符合文意。also“也”,instead“相反”,rather“宁可”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为A。‎  A.let out B.turn in ‎ C.give up D.believe in ‎ 解析:动词词义辨析。他们尝试更令人满意的途径,也就是他们想要为一些自己坚信(believe in)的东西而努力,或者换一份能够有更多时间与家人相处的工作。let out“释放”,turn in“上交,归还”,give up“放弃”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。‎  A.fundamental B.practical C.impossible D.unforgettable 解析:考查语境理解。结合后一句“They have loans,bills,a mortgage”可知,尽管他们想要放弃在华尔街的工作,想要过自己喜欢的生活,但由于贷款账单等等问题,想要换工作的想法最终是不可能的(impossible)。fundamental“根本性的”,practical “实用的”,unforgettable“难忘的”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为C。 ‎  A.take off B.drop off C.put off D.pay off 解析:动词词组辨析。take off “起飞,脱下”;drop off“减少,睡着”;put off“延期”;pay off“偿还,付清”。结合空格前的“loans,bills,a mortgage”可知,此处意为“他们还有贷款和账单要(偿还)”。故正确答案为D。‎  A.missing B.inspiring C.sinking D.shining 解析:考查语境理解。结合前文所述,这些华尔街的工作者们虽然过着外表光鲜的生活,然而他们却不开心,有些人想要“leaving their jobs to work for something they believe in or finding a position that would give them more time with their families”,却最终失败。因此可推知,此处意为“他们意识到在他们的生命中,有些东西缺失了(missing)”。inspiring“鼓舞人心的”,sinking“下沉的”,shining“闪烁的”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为A。‎  A.harmful B.hard C.useful D.normal 解析:形容词词义辨析。此处意为“虽然他们发现自己的生命中缺少了某些东西,但是想要脱离现状去追求却很难(hard)”。harmful“有害的”;useful“有用的”;normal“正常的”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。‎  A.measure B.suffer C.digest D.deliver 解析:考查语境理解。结合后半句中的“in terms of dollars and cents” 即“以美元和美分计算”,可推知此处意为“在一个倾向于用美元和美分来衡量(measure)一切的社会中”。suffer“遭受,忍受”;digest“消化”;deliver“配送”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为A。 ‎  A.disasters B.motivations C.campaigns D.decisions 解析:名词词义辨析。结合这一段第一句 “In a . . . everything in terms of dollars and cents” 可知,此处意为“我们很小的时候就学会了以金钱来衡量我们的决定(decisions)所带来的得失”。disaster “灾难”;motivation“动力”;campaign “运动,战役”;均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。‎  A.assessed B.involved C.covered D.reduced 解析:动词词义辨析。前一句提到“我们很小的时候就学会了以金钱来衡量我们所做出的决定会带来的得失”,由后句开始的 But 一词可知前后两句形成对照关系。故可推知,后句意为“那么,为了追逐金钱超过追求人生意义本身而涉及到的(involved)个人代价和社会代价是怎样的呢?”assess“评估”;cover“覆盖,涵盖”;reduce“减少”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。‎ ‎3‎ ‎(2015·广东)‎ How long can human beings live?Most scientists who study old age think that the human body is __1.
