　　普遍认为，如果____,雄心就能够受人尊重。

　　[A]itsreturnswellcompensateforthesacrifices

　　雄心的回报充分补偿了所作的牺牲

　　[B]itisrewardedwithmoney,fameandpower

　　雄心以金钱、名誉和权力作为回报

　　[C]itsgoalsarespiritualratherthanmaterial

　　雄心的目标是精神上的而不是物质上的

　　[D]itissharedbytherichandthefamous

　　它是富人和名人共享的

　　【答案】A

　　【考点】事实细节题。

　　【分析】文章第一句指出，“雄心如果想要获得尊重，那么它的回报——财富、声望、对命运的掌控——则必须被认为值得为之牺牲”。

也就是说，正确答案是[A]。

[B]中的金钱、声望和对命运的控制，在第一句中，只是作为取得回报的三个例子，并非仅包括这三方面而已。

因此，选择项[A]更加确切地表达了第一句的意思。

[C]、[D]的说法显然不对。

　　28.Thelastsentenceofthefirstparagraphmostprobablyimpliesthatitis____。

　　第一段最后一句话很可能暗示的内容是____。

　　[A]customaryoftheeducatedtodiscardambitioninwords

　　受过教育的人习惯于口头上抛弃雄心

　　[B]toolatetocheckambitiononceithasbeenletout

　　雄心一旦释放，要想再阻拦就晚了

　　[C]dishonesttodenyambitionafterthefulfillmentofthegoal

　　在目标达成之后不诚实地否认雄心

　　[D]impracticalfortheeducatedtoenjoybenefitsfromambition

　　对受过教育的人来说，要享受雄心带来的好处是不实际的。

　　【答案】C

　　【考点】句意题。

　　【分析】本句中出现一个比喻，意思是“他们是野心的受益者，但又虚伪地否认拥有野心的重要性”。

这和[C]的意思是吻合的。

[A]的错误在于它不够完整，没有提到受益这个概念。

[B]的说法是字面意思。

[D]选项没有根据。

　　29.Somepeopledonotopenlyadmittheyhaveambitionbecause____。

　　一些人不公开宣称他们有雄心，是因为____。

　　[A]theythinkofitasimmoral

　　他们认为这不道德

　　[B]theirpursuitsarenotfameorwealth

　　他们追求的不是名声和财富

　　[C]ambition
