59、能伸,优雅面对生活中的挑战。21考查名词。根据空格前的going by the river 可知,此处表示悠闲地坐在岸边,所以选C。chair椅子,beach沙滩,bank岸,boat船。解答完形填空题的关键在于根据语境或上下文的提示,迅速排除干扰选项。如本题,空格前提到One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river,根据常识可以很容易排除A项,又因为河边不可能有沙滩,故排除B项。在船上一般用in the boat,故排除D项。22考查动词。根据后文I would also watch the bamboo trees.可

60、知此处为原词复现,所以选B。23考查动词。根据文章最后一句Like the bamboo tree, bend, but dont break(人生就要像竹子一样弯曲但不折断)可知,此处表示竹子在风的作用下弯曲。此处为原词复现,所以选A。24考查副词。根据语境可知此处表示竹子在风消退后又优雅地回到原来的位置,所以选B。proudly骄傲地,gracefully优雅地,painfully令人痛苦地,peacefully安静地。25考查动词短语。参考上题解析可知,此处表示风消失后竹子恢复到原来的位置,所以选C。die out灭绝,die of死于,die down逐渐平息,die off相继死去。

62、a persons emotions to the limit可知,此处作者由物及人,说明了当用来提到人的时候,这个单词意味着什么。所以选A。29考查动词短语。根据语境可知,此处表示人从震惊、沮丧或其他情形中恢复,所以选A。recover from从中恢复,escape from从逃脱,run into撞上,bring out使显现。30考查语境选词。根据语境可知此处表示从震惊、沮丧或者其他让一个人的情感消耗殆尽的情形中恢复,所以选B。expand扩大,扩展;stretch(大量地)使用,消耗,伸展;widen加宽;spread传播,展开。31考查语境选词。根据语境可知,此处表示你曾经感觉到你

64、以选A。34考查形容词。根据语境可知,此处表示你感到萎靡不振,精力枯竭,而你的身体状况也不佳,所以选C。confused迷惑的,embarrassed尴尬的,exhausted筋疲力尽的,frightened害怕的。35考查名词。根据前文中的 you probably felt a mix of 13(emotions) that threatened your health可知,生活是一种顺境和逆境、快乐的时光和不快乐的时光的混合,所以选B。36考查动词。根据语境可知,此处表示下一次,当你正在经历这些艰难的时刻或不开心的时光的时候, 所以选B。observe观察,experience经历,w

65、itness目击,discover发现。37考查连词。此处that引导定语从句且作主语,所以选D。此处表示这些会让你接近你的极限。38考查介词。根据下文中的With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be可知,一丝希望也能让你度过痛苦的磨难。所以选B。39考查语境选词。根据语境可知,此处表示如果最终结果值得拥有,那么痛苦的磨难也许会更容易应对。improve提高,改善;appreciate欣赏,感激;deal with处理,应对;consist i
