长短句分析：As he gets older，he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life，and feels that only by killing himlf will the people around him be able to finally be happy.
句法点睛：这是个主从复合句。As he gets older为状语从句，he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life，为主句；only by killing himlf will the people around him be able to finally be happy为宾语从句，该句使用的是倒装语序。
句意：随着年龄的增长，他开始和生活中的每个人发生冲突，并且觉得唯有自杀才能够让周围的人最终快乐起来。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文，通过评论剧本《推销员之死》来诠释“梦”。
1．The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A．reasons for coming to America
B．something about the United States
C．something about the American Dream
D．the definition of the American Dream
答案 C [主旨大意题。第一段总体指出了“梦”的一些情况，而并非是为“梦”下定义，故选C。]
2．The underlined word “striving” probably has the same meaning as ________.
A．trying hard B．giving up
C．bending down D．standing still
答案 A [词义猜测题。根据本段对“梦”的简要介绍以及接下来通过《推销员之死》对“梦”的诠释可知，作者想告诉我们，从一开始人们就在努力实现“梦”，因此strive应该是与try hard同义的。]
3．According to the text，Death of a Salesman tries to tell us ________.
A．why Willy decides to kill himlf
B．what the American Dream is like
C．about Bernard's dedication to America
D．the life stories of Willy and Bernard
放弃英文答案 B [推理判断题。根据第二、三、四段对《推销员之死》的评论和作者在第五段的总结可推知，《推销员之死》给出了两种“梦”的例子，实际是要告诉我们“梦”应该是什么样的，故选B项。]
4．What would be the CORRECT structure of the text?
答案 B [推理判断题。第一段总体指出了“梦”的情况，而二、三、四段以《推销员之死》为例分析了对“梦”的两种理解，最后一段则是总结，所以整篇文章的结构是“总—分—总”，故选B项。]
