In fact B. In addition C. In disorder D. In general答案：B。更糟糕的是，作者开始失眠。根据篇章结构，此处应为表递进关系的短语。in addition“另外”符合行文逻辑；in fact事实上；in disorder混乱；in general通常，一般而言。9A. light B. shut C. open D. heavy答案：D。由常识可知，睡得少会感觉眼皮很重，故用heavy。10A. insist B. determine C. accept D. consider答案：C。“我”拒绝接受生病的事实，继续长时间地工作和学习。accept接受；insist坚持；determine决定；consider考虑。11A. lose B. drop C. give D. take答案：B。“我”没有旷过任何课。drop class “旷课”，符合语境。12A. Unless B. If C. Though D. Before答案：A。“我”固执地认为：生活中的磨难如果能置人于死地，它也能使人更坚强。13A. paid B. similar to C. equal to D. worth答案：D。但现在“我”在思考，这样做“值得”吗？14A. at B. to C. on D. with答案：B。“我”如此努力地学习和工作是因为为了让大学申请表看起来更吸引人。do good to“对有利”。15A. control B. manage C. support D. afford答案：D。这样拼命工作，一旦作者上了理想的大学，就能支付得起所需费用。afford“付得起(费用)”。16A. amount B. set C. kind D. number答案：A。我现在因病早已不能做校内外的大量的工作。the amount of.意为“的数量”，这里指“工作的量(大)”，不可数，因此不能用number。17A. suitable B. impressive C. believable D. usual答案：B。我病得这么重，申请表再吸引人又有什么用呢？impressive“有吸引力的”，与上文does good前后相照应。18A. reason B. idea C. point D. tip答案：C。如果不能享受结果，“我”做这些工作又有什么意义呢？point意义，道理；reason原因；idea想法；tip末端，建议。19A. time B. work C. newspaper D. story答案：D。my story在此处意为“我的亲身经历”。20A. think B. care C. miss D. realize答案：B。事实上，通过写“我”的经历，“我”想告诉所有关注未来的人，更应关注现在。*结束任务型阅读 阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。_ 1.
