Question

We all have weaknesses and strengths—no matter who we are .Some get sick easily.

Some are  36  people in communication, struggling with  37 .

Sometimes weaknesses seem to outweigh (勝過)the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around.  38  ,facing huge limitations, many people tend to  39  it  as just bad luck ---but not everyone. Those who rise over their weaknesses can still manage to  40  extraordinary things.

I  41  a school prize –giving ceremony and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft,  42 had a severe stutter (結巴 ) as a child .  43  allowing this to limit  him , he chose to overcome it. Now he is a famous judge . Not only  44  he become  successful, but he did so in a profession  45  he had to speak before others regularly. Had he not worked on his  46  ability, it would have been very limiting to his success in life and work.

Many people face far huger limitations, such as loss  47  legs or arms , being born extremely poor,  48 you do. But whatever the limitation, you’ll  49 find people who have overcome it. Helen Keller, who fell  50 and lost  her sight and hearing at 19 months old, worked hard to be a famous woman with great  51  . Mark Inglis lost both his legs in a mountain climbing accident,  52  has since climbed Mt. Everest.

If one of them had told you what they hoped to achieve, you would have nodded kindly while  53  thinking to yourself that they had no chance . And yet the results speak for  54  .

Though most of us will never have to face such challenges , yet most of us will never achieve to the  55  that these people have either if we never seriously think of what we can do.

【解析】

1.考查形容詞。與上文“有些人容易得病”銜接，此處自然是人們的弱點，“不善交際”即在交際方面“沒有希望”的。

2.考查名詞。因為他們不善交際，所以在“人際關系”上要很費力。

3.考查副詞。通常情況（generally）下，面對極大缺陷時，往往接受（accept）它，認為是自己運氣不好，可并非所有的人都這樣。

4.考查動詞。見38解析。accept ... as ...承認…為…。

5.考查動詞。rise over weaknesses克服自己的弱點。句意：那些能從自己的弱點上站起來的人也能去的不同尋常的東西。achieve取得；實現(xiàn)。

6.考查動詞。attend a ceremony參加儀式。

7.考查連詞。此處所選之詞引導定語從句，代替Andrew Becroft作主語。

8.考查介詞。43  allowing this to limit  him , he chose to overcome it.這兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，所以用instead of。

9.考查動詞。此處是部分倒裝，所用助動詞應與but 后分句一致。

10.考查連詞。此處所選之詞引導定語從句且在從中做地點狀語。

11.考查動詞。結合上文可知他是個a severe stutter，所以他努力提高的是“說”的能力。這句話是虛擬語氣。

12.考查介詞。此處of表示動賓關系。

13.考查連詞。與前面的far huger相呼應。

14.考查副詞。無論缺陷多大， 你總能找到已經(jīng)克服了他們的人。兩句之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關系。

15.考查形容詞。與lost  her sight相呼應，可知是生病。

16.考查名詞。成為以為取得重大成就的著名女人。

17.考查連詞。失去雙腿與爬山構成轉(zhuǎn)折。

18.考查副詞。think to oneself（心中想，盤算，自思自忖）自然是“默默地”。

19.考查代詞。代替前面的the results。

20.考查名詞。to the degree 在（極大/某種）程度上.
