Question

20．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcoming（缺点）．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too （68）much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to bear（忍受） all this as long as I could．At least，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
    He listened to me （69）quietly．Then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a （70）listof everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
    I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin）．But a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to （71）change．For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself．
    I brought the list back to Dad．He refused（拒绝） to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than （72）anyone/anybodyelse the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is （73）fullof people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know．It is the right thing to do．"
    Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a （74）b
etter piece of advice．

解答 68．much．考查副词及短语too much．句意为：我讲话太多．分析句子成分可知，talk为不及物动词，故too和空格处为状语；根据句意，并结合首字母提示和英语提示too，确定填much．它是副词，意思是"多"．too much太多．故填much．
69．quietly．考查副词．句意为：他静静地倾听我诉说．分析句子成分可知，空格处为状语，故填副词．根据句意，并结合首字母提示，确定填quietly．它是副词，意思是"安静地"．故填quietly．
70．list．考查名词及短语（make） a list of．句意为：去把她说的所有事情开列一个清单．分析句子成分可知，空格处为动词make的宾语，故填名词．根据句意，并结合首字母提示和英语提示"make a …of"，确定填list．它是名词，意思是"清单"．（make）a list of （开列）一个…的清单．故填list．
71．change．考查动词．句意为：但是有许多我是能改变，也是想改变的．分析句子成分可知，空格前面是to，故填动词原形．根据句意，并结合首字母提示，并参照上文，确定填change．want to change想改变．
72．anyone/anybody．考查不定代词．句意为：你比任何人都了解所有关于自己的事实．分析句子成分可知，空格处为间接宾语，且被副词else所修斯，故填名词代词等．根据句意，并结合首字母提示，确定填anyone/anybody，其意思是"任何人"． anyone/anybody else其他任何人．故填anyone/anybody．
73．full．考查形容词及be full of句型．句意为：我们的世界有很多人，他们认为知道你的责任．分析句子成分可知，空格处为表语，且和of是短语；根据句意，并结合首字母提示，确定填full，它是形容词，意思是"充满"． be full of充满…．故填full．
74．better．考查形容词比较级．分析句子成分可知，空格处为定语，修饰宾语（名词）piece，故填形容词．根据句意，并结合首字母提示，确定填better，它是形容词good的比较级，意思是"更好的"．故填better．
