A．heaven never helps the man who will not act

B．he who makes constant complaint gets little compassion.

C．hope for the best, but prepare for the worst

D．It is easy to be wise after the event.

答案

A

解析

试题分析：考查谚语。A天助自助者；B常诉苦者少得同情。C做最好的打算，做最坏的准备。D事后诸葛亮；句意：—约翰想什么都不付出就取得进步，这真是荒谬。—也许是让他知道天助自助者这个道理的时候了。根据句意说明后者认为不努力是得不到进步的。故A正确。
点评：平时做题时或阅读时要做有心人，多记忆一些谚语的含义，在做题时结合上下文句意来选择。
