(2019·湖南永州高三模擬)Although it might not always feel like it, life is ridiculously short. It probably wouldn't mean much or be worth much if it lasted forever. Because it's so   __1__， with the limited time that you have, I recommend    __2__ something worthwhile, and if you dare, something amazing.

Think of your life as a major project, with a   __3__. Every day, every week, month and year, you get the opportunity to either work on   __4__   it, piece by piece, one section at a time or you can sit back and watch it   __5__.

That's life.   __6__   some point, you have to be improving just to  __7__   where you are. At the end of it all, you will get to look at your   __8__   in its entirety, the life you've created, and how you will feel will depend on how good of a   __9__  you think you did compared to whatever   __10__  you live by.

Regardless of the outcome, will you be  __11__   knowing you did what you could or will you be filled with   __12__   knowing you could have easily done a better job?

Life is too short to   __13__  getting et New Years or your next birthday or whatever life   __14__   you're waiting to occur. If there is something you want to do, to create, to   __15__   in this life, start doing it now    __16__  whatever it is you're waiting to  __17__   before beginning might not ever happen. Then what?   __18__   your life just waiting and waiting and waiting?

【回答】

篇章導讀：本文是一篇議論文。生命太短暫了，我們應抓住眼前的機會，立即行動，將人生工程做到極致。

1.C　上文已經提到了“life is ridiculously short”，因此這裏表示人生短暫。

2.B　根據空格所在句“I recommend __2__ something worthwhile, and if you dare, something amazing”及第三段中的“the life you've created”可知，此處指由於時光短暫，所以“我”建議人們創造有價值的東西。

3.D　與上文提到的“life is ridiculously short”呼應，指我們的人生是一個帶有截止日期的重大工程。且最後一段中的第一句“The deadline for this project is __19__”也是提示。

4.A　由下文的“or you can sit back (或你可以袖手旁觀)”可知，此處情況與之相反，表示你可以每天、每週、每月都提升你的生活。

5.B　與前面的sit back “袖手旁觀”並列，此處指你也可以坐等時光的流逝。

6.C　at some point為固定短語，意為“在某個階段”。

7.D　結合空格後面的“where you are”可知，此處指有的時候，我們需要提升自己來保持自己現有的位置。

8.A　與上文提到的“Think of your life as a major project”一致，指你會看到你的整個人生工程。

9.B　根據下文的“you could have easily done a better job”可知，此處指你所做工作的優秀程度。

10.C　根據前面的“how good of a __9__ you think you did compared to”與後面的“you live by”可知，此處指你生活所遵循的標準。

11.A　根據空格前面的“Regardless of the outcome”和後面的“knowing you did what you could”可知，此處指無論什麼結果，你會因自己做了力所能及的事情而感到滿意嗎？

12.D　與前面的“be __11__ knowing you did”情形相反，此處指你是否會因本可以輕易地把工作做得更好而感到後悔？

13.B　根據空格前面的“Life is too short to”和後面的“getting started”可知，生命太短暫了，再也不能耽誤時間了，要立即行動。

14.D　與前面的“Forget New Years or your next birthday”呼應，此處指你等待發生的人生事件。

15.A　與前面“If there is something you want to do, to create”提到的“想要的事情，想創造的事情”呼應，指人生中想要體驗的事情。

16.D　解釋前面“start doing it”的原因，因此用because引導原因狀語從句。

17.B　根據空格後面的“before beginning might not ever happen”可知，此處指無論你等待着什麼事情發生。

18.A　後面的“just waiting and waiting and waiting”説明等待是一種浪費生命的方式。

19.C　根據空格後面的“It can be due at any moment.”可知， 這項人生工程的截止日期是未知的。

20.A　與前面的“for the love of life”和後面的“get started”呼應，指如果熱愛生命的話，就停止等待，馬上開始行動吧。
