2015新余二模英语试题及答案(4)

    We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire.   37   .If not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
    One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said."For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.    38  At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have. 
      39   So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…. 
       40   .So, work like you don't need money, love as you've never been hurt, And dance as  no one's watching.
A .Looking back, it’s really an extraordinary journey.
B. The truth is, there's no better time than right now.
C. And remember that time waits for no one.
D. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. 
E. The more you have the sense of belonging, the happier you will be.
F. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. G. Then life would begin.

There's always been a debate on whether human beings are born good or bad. Depending on how you   41   the world, you can think of all the crimes and injustice and conclude that we're bad, so we need a system of laws to keep us in check. However, there are also a lot of stories of good deeds. I think we're all born good.
Today, I took a trip to South Bend to attend my friends' wedding reception. I had   42   the night before at the forecast and it said we were going to get about 3 inches of snow, so I thought, "That's not so   43   ." I set out on my journey and it was completely clear until I  44    to get towards Niles, M1…
I was  45  with this ominous (不祥的)cloud. I thought to myself, "Hmm, this can't be a good   46    ." Soon enough, the highway became a snow-packed wall of white. I should have remembered that such severe changes in  47   are common in this part of America. I then tried to get to the popular area of South Bend and got stuck in the snow,   48   to turn left onto a street. I  49   for 20 minutes to dig myself out with only a scraper(刮刀).
　　It wasn't a very  50   street, so I didn't see many people. Just as I was starting to give up, a few people stopped by my car and then helped push me out of the snow bank. It was one person at first, and then a few others.
　　Then, on the way to my destination, another lady got stuck.  51  , I got out and was   52   to offer the same help that I had received. At least five others joined me in my   53   to get her car unstuck. It is kind of storm that makes roads undrivable. South Bend  54   up getting over 3 feet of snow.
　　In these  55   of kindness though, I was once again  56   of my belief that that all people are born good. These people didn't have to stop and help me out. They ran the  57   of having their own cars stuck.  58  for myself, it was an automatic reaction to get out and push the lady's car out too. I didn't think about it   59   a second.
