真题练习
从以上列表中选择词汇填空，注意形式变化。（答案见文后）
1. Today, we can __________ accomplish a lot of things without the help of others, which leads to the popular belief that we are becoming more and more __________. (2016/11/5，我们越来越独立还是越来越相互依赖？）
今天，我们好像没有别人的帮助能够做成很多事情，这让大家都相信，我们正变得越来越独立。
2. For quite a long time, receiving a good education was the only way for young people to get a decent job and earn a high salary. But now, this is __________ not the case any more. Influenced by business stars like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, many young people now begin to believe that one’s success is not in proportion to the education s/he receives. The students, therefore, are not motivated enough to focus on their learning. (2017/3/4, 年轻人不喜欢学习的原因及解决办法)
在很长一段时间内，接受好的教育是年轻人获好工作、挣高工资的路径，但是现在看起来似乎不是那样了。受比尔.盖茨、史蒂夫.乔布斯这些商界明星的影响，很多年轻人现在开始相信，一个人的成功与他/她所受的教育并不成正比，因此，这些学生就没有动力来专心学习了。
3. Keeping knowledge in the Internet, however, will make us excessively __________ on electronic devices. Simply put, in case of power-off or computer break-down, we will be thrown into a terribly helpless situation. (2017/3/30, 知识存储在网络上是好是坏？)
然而，把知识保存在网上会让我们过于依赖电子产品。简单地说，万一遇到停电或者电脑崩溃，我们就会陷入到一个特别无助的境况。
4. If we as human beings stand at the top of the pyramid of ecosystem, our survival is totally __________ on the existence of other "lower" animals. (2019/2/23, 是否应该保护野生动物？)
如果我们人类站在生态系统金字塔的顶端，我们的生存完全取决于其他“低端”动物的存在。
5. It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically __________ for a period of time. (高中毕业后是否应该有间隔年？《剑桥雅思》官方范文）
6. Yet for such organisations as Bill Gates Charity Foundation whose money comes from the entire world, it is far from enough only to help Americans, although it is headquartered in the U.S. As a matter of fact, Bill Gates Charity Foundation, along with other “global” charity groups, has __________ its help to all people in all countries and regions throughout the world. (2016/6/20，慈善机构应该帮助其他国家需要帮助的人吗？）
然而，对于像比尔.盖茨慈善基金会这样的组织而言（它的钱来自全世界），虽然其总部在美国，但若只帮助美国人就远远不够了。事实上，比尔.盖茨慈善基金会，还有其他类似的“全球”慈善机构，已经将他们的帮助延伸到了世界上所有国家和地区的人们。
7. In conclusion, the golden days of print news are gone forever, but nothing is like the feeling of physically holding a newspaper in hands. After all, the different ways of learning about news are not __________ exclusive. Each news media outlet is effective in its own way. (2018/3/24,报纸是获取新闻的途径吗？）
总之，印刷新闻的黄金时代已经一去不返了，但没有什么比手拿报纸的感觉更好了。毕竟，获知新闻的不同方式之间并不相互排斥，每一种新闻媒体都以其自己的方式产生作用。
8. Giving aid to those countries in need is always regarded as a right thing to do, not only because it can strengthen __________ friendship, but also because it will win global reputation for the country who gives away. This reputation will, in turn, translate into various forms of support, financially or politically, from other countries. A country which never gives aid to other countries may very likely be isolated from the rest of the world. (2020/7/25, 本国还有人不富裕时，政府是否应该进行国际援助？)
向那些有需要的国家提供援助总是被认为是一件正确的事情，这不仅是因为它能加强彼此的友谊，也因为它将为捐助的国家赢得全球声誉。这种声誉反过来将转化为来自其他国家的各种形式的支持，包括财政的支持或政治的支持。从来不向其他国家提供援助的国家很可能与世界其他国家隔绝。
9. Reading or telling stories, besides providing an opportunity for the parents to stay together with their children, is also often considered as a wonderful __________ for parents to share their life’s lesson or wisdom with their children. So the fairy tale about a fox is often not just an interesting story, but one that tells the kids about the risks of greed, and similarly, the story of George Washington cutting a cherry tree makes the kids realize the importance of honesty. (2017/7/15, 父母应该给孩子读书讲故事吗？)
读或讲故事除了给父母提供机会与孩子待在一起，还通常被认为是父母与孩子分享人生教训或智慧的机会。因此，关于一只狐狸的童话故事通常不只是一个有趣的故事，而是告诉孩子们贪婪的风险，同样，乔治·华盛顿砍樱桃树的故事让孩子们意识到诚实的重要性。
