作文主题：积极面对生活
[参考范文]
In our journey of life, it’s our great fortune to meet with something or someone. Be grateful for what they bring us and cherish what we have. Just like our drinking glass, whether half full or half empty, we are lucky to have such a glass and own what there is in it.
Take Helen Keller, a famous American writer as an example. She became disabled when she was young. Instead of feeling depressed and complaining “Why Me”， she chose a positive attitude to life and regarded what she encountered as the best gift God gave her. Bearing gratitude for life , she met with her lifelong teacher Sullivan and finished her famous novel Three Days to See. It was the painful times of her life that made her stronger, wiser and more loving.
Though pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Be grateful for our life with all its lessons and blessings, and success and happiness is just around the corner!
详细解释：
21．B. 考查定语从句。 which在定语从句中做宾语，代building
22. B. 考查时态。因为有时间状语recently 这个副词，能判断事情是发生在最近，所以用现在完成时态have/has done。
23. A. 考查名词性从句。It是做形式主语，而这个空是来充当主语从句的，在主语从句中，动词do 后面缺少宾语，所以选what. 句意为：当你全身心投入一项工作时候，你一定会一鸣惊人。
24. B. 考查非谓语动词。在with 的复合结构中，这个空是来充当宾语补足语的，filled 在句子中是表示一种状态。
25. D. 考查特殊句式。 祈使句+状语从句，从句为if 引导的条件状语从句。句意为：想象一下如果没有办法起到重要作用，没有办法去参与，没有办法对生活产生积极的影响，那该有多糟糕啊！
26. B. 考查状语从句的省略。在连词unless 后省略了主语misunderstandings 和be动词，完整结构为unless misunderstandings are handled properly, …..
27. D. 考查状语从句。 在whatever引导的让步状语从句中，省略了be动词。完整结构为whatever your age or situation is,……句意为：不管你多大，也不管你身处怎样的境况，从现在开始，你都应该活的充实。
28. C. 考查非谓语动词。在整个句子中，有谓语动词gives, 可以判断缺主语，所以用动名词形式做主语。 句意为：做出积极的贡献会让你拥有更加积极的心态。
29. B. 考查非谓语动词。 当名词前面有序数词，或形容词的最高级修饰时候要用动词不定式来做定语, 所以这道题应该选 to teach 来修饰名词person.
30. C. 考查时态。 在主句中有动词的过去式did, 可以判断出事情是发生在过去。应该是说当这个女的正在被抢劫时候，为什么很多人袖手旁观？
31. A. 考查时态。从句意可以判断出来是发生在将来的事情，所以用一般将来时态。
32. A. 考查强调句。这里使用了强调结构it is not until +被强调部分+that +其他部分。
33. D. 考查主谓一致。Buying clothes 是动名词做主语，谓语动词用单数，排除A,C.在后面是一个定语从句修饰的是clothes, 是复数形式，谓语动词也用复数。
34. D. 考查倍数表达法。此处的句式结构为“倍数+the +名词+of”。
35. C. 考查虚拟语气。在it is high time 的结构中，从句用一般过去式或者是should do sth. 因此句式为：It is high time that sb should do sth.或It is high time that sb did sth.

36.B 考查形容词辨析。此次表示作者希望安静地欣赏这些杰作，而且“quiet”与下文中“noise”构成对比。

41.D 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“a long cane”可知，这里是指拉开那个白色的物体，白色物体变成了一个长长的手杖。 fix“修理”,arrange“安排”,shift“转变”,extend“使伸长”。故答案为D.
42.D 考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的“Most of us would give up”可知，此处表示他是一个勇敢的人，而且与下文中的“courage”相呼应。

44.A 考查形容词辨析。根据上文作者的疑问和下文售货员的回答可知此处表示作者是错误的。
45. D 考查名词辨析。 view“风景”， scenery“自然风光”; scene“场景，幕”；sight “视力”。Without sight 的意思是“没有视力”，与上文的“blind”呼应。
