【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。几天前,作者认识了一位91岁的老人,并听他讲了自己的故事。作者意识到只要我们对生活充满热情,就没有过不去的坎。
【1】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用副词的能力。分析句子结构可知此处应用副词修饰形容词unusual,又根据句意可知,此处表示"难以置信地",故用unbelievably。
【2】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用冠词的能力。此处表示他曾经在一个农场工作,此处泛指一个农场,且farm的发音是以辅音音素开头的,应用不定冠词a。
【3】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用动词的时态和语态的能力。分析句子结构可知空格处应该填谓语动词,又因为文章叙述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时,且take与主语he为主谓关系,因此填took。
【4】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用名词性从句引导词的能力。分析句子结构可知explained后应该是一个宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事物,因此应该用what。
【5】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用不定式作状语的能力。此处表示他开始告诉我他是如何切割钢铁做模型手推车的。空格处应填不定式在句中作目的状语。故答案为to build。
【6】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用形容词的能力。空前的seemed为系动词,空格处作seemed的表语,因此用enthusiasm的形容词形式。
【7】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用名词单复数的能力。lesson此处意为"经验,教训",为可数名词,由空前的some可知此处应该用其复数形式lessons。
【8】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用动名词作主语的能力。分析句子结构可知空格处应该用动名词作主语,表示一般的抽象的行为。故答案为learning。
【9】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用过去分词作状语的能力。分析句子结构可知空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语,又因为impress与主语I是动宾关系,因此应该用动词-ed形式。
【10】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义使用连词的能力。此处表示如果我们不给自己强加那些障碍的话,我们的生活中就没有障碍了。由语境可知此处应用unless"除非,如果不"。

请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 每个空格只填一个单词。
People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.
