1.Many people spend little time in _______________ of physical fitness.(pursue, pursuit)
【正确答案】pursuit

2.His_______________ old dog accompanied him everywhere he went.(faith, faithful)
【正确答案】faithful
【答案解析】译文:无论他到哪,他忠诚的狗都一直陪伴他。空格处的词修饰名词短语old dog。因此应填入形容词faithful ,而非名词faith。答案为faithful。

4.Often they are competing_______________ with fellow Spaniards for contracts.(fierce, fiercely)
【正确答案】fiercely
【答案解析】compete with 是固定动词词组格配,与……竞争的意思。空格中的词修饰前面的动词compete ,因此用填入副词形式的fiercely( 猛烈地)。答案为fiercely。
5.The war was followed by a long period of peace and ________________.(prosperous , prosperity)
【正确答案】prosperity
【答案解析】译文:战争之后是长时间的和平与繁荣。空格中填入的词与前面的名词peace 并列,根据and前后一致的原则,应填入名词prosperity( 繁荣)。答案为prosperity。
6.The service at the famous hotel failed to live up to its____________.(repute, reputation)

寄语:你总会发现,纠结和拖延带来的损失远超过失败,不用怕失败,但要有足够的勇气从泥泽一样的纠结中走出,不再拖延,纠结不会带来任何结果,看起来很美的表象都要经历足够多失败的底里,真正的骄傲是行动然后沉默。
