答案與解析
(1)本文作者主要是告誡我們要像小孩一樣,不要在乎別人,跌倒了,爬起來(lái),繼續(xù)努力,相信什么事都是可能的。
31. through 用through the eyes of表示“在……看來(lái)”。
32. a 指在泛指的“任何一個(gè)”小孩的頭腦中,故用不定冠詞。
33. learning 在watch后作賓補(bǔ),用動(dòng)詞原形或動(dòng)詞的-ing形式;又由語(yǔ)境可知,小孩摔倒是在正在學(xué)走路的過(guò)程中,故用learning更好。
34. because 因兩句間沒(méi)有連詞,應(yīng)填連詞;后句是前句的原因,故用because引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。
35. others 在賓語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ),一定是名詞或代詞;表示泛指的“別人”用代詞others。
36. practical 作表語(yǔ),用形容詞。
37. teaches 在句中作謂語(yǔ),且由語(yǔ)境判斷是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語(yǔ)是第三人稱單數(shù),故填teaches。
38. that 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句并在從句中作主語(yǔ),先行詞是something,多用關(guān)系代詞that引導(dǎo)。
39. can 因謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞tear是原形,所以前面可能是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞;由上下文的語(yǔ)氣可知,作者認(rèn)為“你和我”都“能夠”拆卸這些墻。
40. anything 由語(yǔ)氣或第一段第二句可知,用表示“任何事”的anything較適合。
(2)本文主要告誡人們要想成功就必須確立目標(biāo),而且只有一個(gè)目標(biāo),然后專心致志集中在這一個(gè)目標(biāo)上,這是成功的定律。
31. with 已有主語(yǔ)people,名詞goals不作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ),前面一定是填介詞,以便作介詞的賓語(yǔ);表示“有”,用介詞with。
32. where 在動(dòng)詞know后應(yīng)為賓語(yǔ)從句,由are going可知,用表示地點(diǎn)的where引導(dǎo)。
33. The 作定語(yǔ)的形容詞最高級(jí)前用the。
34. all 作bend的賓語(yǔ),應(yīng)為名詞或代詞;由語(yǔ)境可知,是將“全部”精力集中到一點(diǎn),故用代詞all。
35. that 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句并在從句中作主語(yǔ),用關(guān)系代詞that或which。
36. attainment 在介詞(towards)或者形容詞性物主代詞(its)后,一定是用名詞形式。
37. are focused 因主語(yǔ)resources與focus是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,且由語(yǔ)境可知,是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
38. more 由語(yǔ)境可知,是Nothing與concentrating all your energies作比較。
39. concentrating 在比較狀語(yǔ)從句中用主語(yǔ),用動(dòng)詞的—ing形式。
40. until 引導(dǎo)省略了they are的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,not…until…(直到……才……)是個(gè)較固定的句型。
