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】

试题分析：文章论述了生活总是充满挑战及人们面对挑战的两种态度。当我们成长我们逐渐意识到那些挑战是塑造我们并且让我们成为我们自己，对于友谊来说它同样是挑战。

1.因为前面有as we grow older这一过程，所以要选择come to realize，表示“逐渐认识到……”。

2.shape在这儿是动词，表示“塑造”。选择该词与下文中的make us who we are意思相一致。

3.根据本文的整体内容以及最后一段的第一句判断，本文的主旨是challenges in friendship。

4.根据下文中的we can beat it off, or we can decided that…判断，此处应该是讲到我们有两种选择。

5.词意辨析题。presenting the challenge是现在分词短语作定语，修饰the thing，presenting是to show something的意思。

6.上文中讲到的第一种选择是beat it off是表示“击退”，而第二种是对于不值得去做的可以call it quits，表示停止去做，即“放弃”。

7.times在这儿表示时候，相当于sometimes。

8.in most cases是固定搭配，意思是在大多数情况下。

9.根据下一段的第一句话，可以判断这儿应该填commitment，而且根据下一段中对于该词的解释，commitment的意思是“承担义务、责任”。

10.painful与下文中的uncomfortable属于同一范畴。

11.根据下文中的instead of running away from it可以推测这儿应该填face，“面对”的意思。

12.space这儿表示空间。该空之前有一个不定冠词“a”，说明该词是可数名词，而room做可数名词时只有“房间”的意思，所以据此可以排除选项room；而space做可数名词时意思是an area, especially one used for a particular purpose，这儿的purpose就是后面的discussion，所以我们判断是space。

13.根据句子上下文逻辑判断应该选择If。

14.表示选择，亦即“我的感情受到了伤害”而不是“你伤害了我的感情”。

15. 考查连接词的用法。在介词for后引导宾语从句，从句中缺少表语，所以用what。

 16.该句是倒装句，正常语序应该是You need to jump or get through on your way through life。

17.根据上下文可知，该句的意思是没有什么大不了的事无法逾越。故选C。A没必要B必要C不可能D可能

18.其他选项均有主观的成分，但主语是hurt，因此选择serve，表示作者对于hurt的乐观的态度。

19.根据上文可知，每个人在成长过程中都要经历这种情况。故选D。Happen to 发生。A打开B吸引，上诉C去D发生

20.该句中的some day是表示将来的某一天。自然要选择look back to，表示“回忆、回顾”。
