Question

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 31 realize that those challenges are the very things that 32 us and make us who we are .It is the same with the challenges that come with 32 .

When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 34. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing 35 the challenge isn’t worth the 36 and call it quits. Although there are certainly 37 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 38 all that is needed is 39 and communication.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how 40 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 41 it and work it trough instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 42 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 43 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” 44 “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 45 they are: small hurdles you need to jump or 46 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 47 to get over, and hurt only 48 to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it 49 to everyone, and some day you will 50 all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made who I am today. And that is a good thing.”

【解析】

試題分析：文章論述了生活總是充滿挑戰及人們面對挑戰的兩種態度。當我們成長我們逐漸意識到那些挑戰是塑造我們并且讓我們成為我們自己，對于友誼來說它同樣是挑戰。

1.因為前面有as we grow older這一過程，所以要選擇come to realize，表示“逐漸認識到……”。

2.shape在這兒是動詞，表示“塑造”。選擇該詞與下文中的make us who we are意思相一致。

3.根據本文的整體內容以及最后一段的第一句判斷，本文的主旨是challenges in friendship。

4.根據下文中的we can beat it off, or we can decided that…判斷，此處應該是講到我們有兩種選擇。

5.詞意辨析題。presenting the challenge是現在分詞短語作定語，修飾the thing，presenting是to show something的意思。

6.上文中講到的第一種選擇是beat it off是表示“擊退”，而第二種是對于不值得去做的可以call it quits，表示停止去做，即“放棄”。

7.times在這兒表示時候，相當于sometimes。

8.in most cases是固定搭配，意思是在大多數情況下。

9.根據下一段的第一句話，可以判斷這兒應該填commitment，而且根據下一段中對于該詞的解釋，commitment的意思是“承擔義務、責任”。

10.painful與下文中的uncomfortable屬于同一范疇。

11.根據下文中的instead of running away from it可以推測這兒應該填face，“面對”的意思。

12.space這兒表示空間。該空之前有一個不定冠詞“a”，說明該詞是可數名詞，而room做可數名詞時只有“房間”的意思，所以據此可以排除選項room；而space做可數名詞時意思是an area, especially one used for a particular purpose，這兒的purpose就是后面的discussion，所以我們判斷是space。

13.根據句子上下文邏輯判斷應該選擇If。

14.表示選擇，亦即“我的感情受到了傷害”而不是“你傷害了我的感情”。

15. 考查連接詞的用法。在介詞for后引導賓語從句，從句中缺少表語，所以用what。

 16.該句是倒裝句，正常語序應該是You need to jump or get through on your way through life。

17.根據上下文可知，該句的意思是沒有什么大不了的事無法逾越。故選C。A沒必要B必要C不可能D可能

18.其他選項均有主觀的成分，但主語是hurt，因此選擇serve，表示作者對于hurt的樂觀的態度。

19.根據上文可知，每個人在成長過程中都要經歷這種情況。故選D。Happen to 發生。A打開B吸引，上訴C去D發生

20.該句中的some day是表示將來的某一天。自然要選擇look back to，表示“回憶、回顧”。
