This is a part of Debra Jarvis' speech at TED in 2014, which described what she learned when she was a cancer patient.
In 2005, it was at a big cancer center where I was working 1 I received the news that my mother had breast cancer. And then five days later, I received the news that I had breast cancer. My mother and I can be competitive, but I was really not trying to 2 with her on this one.
I learned a lot being a patient, and one of the surprising things was that only a small part of the cancer experience is about 3. Most of it is about feelings and faith, losing and 4 your identity, and discovering 5 you never even knew you had. It's about realizing that the most important things in life are not things at all, 6 relationships. It's about laughing in the 7 of uncertainty and learning that the way to get out of almost anything is to say: “I 8 cancer.”
So the other thing I 9 was that I don't have to 10 “cancer survivor” as my identity. Sometimes, it feels like people are too crazy 11 it and they start telling us how we're going to feel.
About a week after my operation, we had a houseguest. So at dinner that night, our houseguest said: “You know, Deb, now you're really going to learn what's 12. Yes, you are going to make some big changes in your life, and now you're going to start 13 about your death. Yep, this cancer is your wake-up call.” Now, these are golden 14 coming from someone who is speaking about their own experience, but when someone is telling you how you are going to feel, it doesn't 15. After my treatment, it just felt like everyone was telling me what my 16 was going to mean.
It was at that point where I felt like, oh my God, this is just 17 over my life. And that's when I told myself: Take charge of your experience. Don't let it 18 you. We all know that the way to deal with this unpleasant experience, with loss, with any life-changing experience, is to find 19. But here's the thing: No one can tell us what our experience means. We have to 20 what it means.

【解析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，一位得了癌癥的女人所發(fā)表的演講的一部分，講述了這位女士在得了癌癥之后才領(lǐng)悟到人生的意義。

⑴ 考查固定句式。此句是一個強調(diào)句式。句意：是在我工作的一家大型癌癥中心我得到媽媽得了乳腺癌的消息。故選C。

⑵ 考查動詞。根據(jù)上句的“competitive“, ”but”可知，媽媽得了乳腺癌，我也得了乳腺癌，但我并不想和她在這一點上競爭。自己不想得乳腺癌，故選B。

⑶ 考查名詞。作為一個病人我學(xué)到了很多，最令人驚訝的事情之一就是只有一小部分癌癥的經(jīng)驗是關(guān)于醫(yī)學(xué)。故選B。

⑷ 考查動詞。大多數(shù)是關(guān)于感情和信仰，失去和找到你的身份，和發(fā)現(xiàn)你從來都不知道的自己的優(yōu)勢。故選D。

⑸ 考查名詞。大多數(shù)是關(guān)于感情和信仰，失去和找到你的身份，發(fā)現(xiàn)你從來都不知道的你的優(yōu)勢。故選C。

⑹ 考查并列連詞。句意：生活中最重要的不是東西，而是人際關(guān)系。not...but...“不是……而是……”。故選C。

⑼ 考查動詞。我了解到的另一件事情就是不必把自己當(dāng)成癌癥患者。故選D。
