[语篇解读]　明星的生活总是令人羡慕不已。

他们的生活中有光鲜的一面：

不菲的收入，以豪华汽车和私人飞机代步，一言一行都成为人们关注的焦点……然而，我们也应看到，他们活得很累，他们为成功所付出的艰辛和代价是一般人难以想象的。

1*Theauthordevelopsthepassagemainlyby________*

A*comparingdifferentideas

B*givingexplanations

2*Theunderlinedword“begrudge”inthethirdparagraphisclosestinmeaningto________*

A*bejealousofB*besatisfiedwith

C*beanxiousaboutD*becrazyabout

[解析]　词义猜测题。

结合上下文的语境判断本句意为：

谁会对他们所得到的感到妒忌、不满呢？

接下来作者讲了一般人从事枯燥但稳定的工作，所以这里意思是：

从事稳定工作的人会妒忌这些明星。

[答案]　A

A*Hewholaughslastlaughsbest*

B*Ifyouventurenothing,youwillgainnothing*

[解析]　推理判断题。

根据最后一段可知，想成为明星就要冒更大的风险，然而一旦成功，回报也是丰厚的，那些选择了稳定工作的人是没有权利期待高额回报的。

“Ifyouventurenothing，youwillgainnothing*”意为：

不入虎穴，焉得虎子，即要成功就要冒险。

[答案]　B

[长难句解读]　Onestudypublishedthisyearfoundthataboutthreeoutofeveryfourteacherssaytheyarenotpreparedtoteachhandwriting*今年公布的一项研究发现，大约每四个教师中就有三个说他们不准备教书法了。

publishedthisyear为过去分词短语作后置定语，found后面为宾语从句，其中又含有一个宾语从句theyarenotpreparedtoteachhandwriting。
