(2019·湖南永州高三模拟)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?

The deadline for this project is  __19__. It can be due at any moment. So for the love of life, stop  __20__    and get started!

【回答】

篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。生命太短暂了，我们应抓住眼前的机会，立即行动，将人生工程做到极致。

1.C　上文已经提到了“life is ridiculously short”，因此这里表示人生短暂。

2.B　根据空格所在句“I recommend __2__ something worthwhile, and if you dare, something amazing”及第三段中的“the life you've created”可知，此处指由于时光短暂，所以“我”建议人们创造有价值的东西。

3.D　与上文提到的“life is ridiculously short”呼应，指我们的人生是一个带有截止日期的重大工程。且最后一段中的第一句“The deadline for this project is __19__”也是提示。

4.A　由下文的“or you can sit back (或你可以袖手旁观)”可知，此处情况与之相反，表示你可以每天、每周、每月都提升你的生活。

5.B　与前面的sit back “袖手旁观”并列，此处指你也可以坐等时光的流逝。

6.C　at some point为固定短语，意为“在某个阶段”。

7.D　结合空格后面的“where you are”可知，此处指有的时候，我们需要提升自己来保持自己现有的位置。

8.A　与上文提到的“Think of your life as a major project”一致，指你会看到你的整个人生工程。

9.B　根据下文的“you could have easily done a better job”可知，此处指你所做工作的优秀程度。

10.C　根据前面的“how good of a __9__ you think you did compared to”与后面的“you live by”可知，此处指你生活所遵循的标准。

11.A　根据空格前面的“Regardless of the outcome”和后面的“knowing you did what you could”可知，此处指无论什么结果，你会因自己做了力所能及的事情而感到满意吗？

12.D　与前面的“be __11__ knowing you did”情形相反，此处指你是否会因本可以轻易地把工作做得更好而感到后悔？

13.B　根据空格前面的“Life is too short to”和后面的“getting started”可知，生命太短暂了，再也不能耽误时间了，要立即行动。

14.D　与前面的“Forget New Years or your next birthday”呼应，此处指你等待发生的人生事件。

15.A　与前面“If there is something you want to do, to create”提到的“想要的事情，想创造的事情”呼应，指人生中想要体验的事情。

16.D　解释前面“start doing it”的原因，因此用because引导原因状语从句。

17.B　根据空格后面的“before beginning might not ever happen”可知，此处指无论你等待着什么事情发生。

18.A　后面的“just waiting and waiting and waiting”说明等待是一种浪费生命的方式。

19.C　根据空格后面的“It can be due at any moment.”可知， 这项人生工程的截止日期是未知的。

20.A　与前面的“for the love of life”和后面的“get started”呼应，指如果热爱生命的话，就停止等待，马上开始行动吧。
