Question

19．Do you like trying different things？Are you afraid（61）ofthings that you think you're bad at？
Last year I started to learn t'at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress．It was something new for me，and I found it to be quite difficult，very（62）different（difference）form anything I'd ever learned before．Small（63）movements  （move） are important in t'ai chi．I was used to being fast and active，（64）but to learn t'ai chi I had to learn patience．Now I've found that I'm a much more patient person than before，and t'ai chi isn't nearly as difficult as it（65）was（be ）before．
We tend（66）to like（like）things we are good at-that's normal．For example，I'm naturally very good at badminton and tennis，but I'm very had at anything  （67）that   involves keeping balance，such as skating，skiing and gymnastics．T'ai chi has（68）greatly（great）improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me．
My point is that you can keep（69）doing （do） the things you know you're good at and live in your comfort zone，or you can try something new．If you don't try new things，you'll never know what it would be like to try something new．Challenge（70）yourself（you）．It will definitely pay off in the end．

Answer 1

分析 我是一個急脾氣，為了學習太極，我不得不學會有耐心，但是學會了太極卻給了我很多好處，例如我不擅長需要平衡的運動，例如滑雪滑冰等等．所以學習我們不擅長的東西會使我們獲益良多．

解答 61 of．考查介詞．固定短語be afraid of表示"害怕"．   
62．different．考查派生詞．做表語，和形容詞quite difficult并列，用形容詞different，表示"不同于"．  
63．movements．考查派生詞．做are important in t'ai chi的主語，用名詞復數(shù)movements．   
64．but．考查連詞．to learn t'ai chi I had to learn patience 表示"為了學習太極，我不得不學會有耐心"，和上句是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，所以用but．  
65．was．考查系動詞的時態(tài)．根據(jù)時間狀語before可知系動詞用過去式was．   
66．to like．考查非謂語動詞．謂語動詞 tend 用動詞不定式to like做賓語．
 67．that．考查定語從句．代指先行詞anything，做定語從句   involves keeping balance的主語，用that．
68．greatly．考查副詞．修飾動詞improved 用副詞greatly． 
69．doing．考查非謂語動詞．謂語動詞 keep 用動名詞doing做賓語． 
70．yourself．考查反身代詞．祈使句Challenge（70）（you）．省略了主語you，所以賓語用反身代詞yourself．

點評 考查語法填空．
通常只能接不定式作賓語的動詞：
agree （同意）； offer （提出）； intend，plan （打算，計劃）； demand，ask （要求）； promise （答應）； help （幫忙）； prepare （準備）； decide （決定）； refuse （拒絕）；dare （敢于）； choose （選擇）； wish，hope，want，expect （希望，想要）； fail；（不能；忘記）； pretend （假裝）； manage （設法）； determine （決心）．
