【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍走路的方式可能会反映人的性格。研究表明:当面对新的挑战时,快速步行的人可能是活跃的,而安静的人则倾向于走得慢些。无论你属于哪种类型,充分利用你的优势,你都能成功。
【1】考查名词。根据tell something about your inner ___1___ (think)判断空格处是宾语,故填名词;此处如果填think的动名词thinking,它是抽象名词,不可数;如果填think的名词thought,它是可数名词,此处应用复数形式。句意:你选择的方式会反映出你的内心想法。故填thoughts/thinking。
【2】考查时态。此处是谓语动词,根据recently判断用现在完成时,主语researchers是复数,故填have observed。
【3】考查形容词性物主代词。根据personalities判断,空格处是定语,故填形容词性物主代词their。
【4】考查状语从句的省略。分析句子可知,此处是状语从句的省略,完整的从句为:when they are faced with the new challenges,句中省略了主语they和系动词are,be faced with (面临/面对)。故填faced。
【5】考查形容词。根据evidence判断,空格处是定语,故填形容词,power的形容词形式是powerful。故填powerful。
【6】考查副词。根据can’t ___6___ (instant) make判断此空是状语,用副词,instant的副词为instantly。故填instantly。
【7】考查定语从句。___7___ means that you needn’t change your personality.是定语从句,先行词是前面的整个句子,在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词which。句意:然而,加快你的步伐也不能立刻让你成为聚会的焦点,这意味着你没有必要改变你的性格。故填which。
【8】考查形容词。空格处作strengths的定语,故填形容词,逻辑主语strengths和hide之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。句意:事实上,一个安静的人和一个活跃的人都有自己隐藏的优势。故填hidden。
【9】考查冠词。结合上下文可知,此处应译为“一个活跃的人”,是泛指,又active是元音音素开头,故填an。
【10】考查并列连词。此处考查固定句型:祈使句+and/or +陈述句。句意:充分利用你的优势,你就会成功,不管你是哪类人也不管你走得快还是走得慢。用and表顺承,故填and。
