【题目】任务型阅读 根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，在答题卷上相应的横线上填写答案，每空限填一个单词。

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, ―Never give up.

These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.

Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

Possible meanings and the author’s opinions	●The words——Never give up can 【1】 others or oneself and express one’s determination. ●A person who wants to succeed should have the quality. So we should never give up.
The 【2】	●If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve 【3】 , so when we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not disappoint ourselves but try again. ●Always giving up means that we will not be able to make any progress. ●Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes we’ve made before and learn the lesson so as not to make the same mistakes. ●To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us【4】 ourselves, so we must not give up but challenge ourselves.

试题分析：短文大意：本文主要告诉我们无论遇到什么样的困难我们都不要放弃。如果我们放弃了我们将一无所获，只要不放弃，即使失败了，我们也学到了新的技能。另外，如果我们失败了，我们可以从中吸取教训，如果不再尝试，吸取教训的机会就浪费了。再者，只有不断的尝试，我们才能从中获取自信，如果不尝试，久而久之我们将怀疑自己的能力。

【1】根据第二段中These can be encouraging words and words of determination(决心).可知“永不言弃”可以鼓励自己并且可以表达决心。所以填写encourage。

【3】根据第三段中One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. 可知如果我们放弃，我们将一无所获。所以填写nothing。

【4】根据第四段中we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us improve our lives. 可知达到目标，培养信心可以提高我们自己。所以填写improve。

【5】根据最后一段中 Further more, if we give up, we have no chance of achieving our goals any more ,可知如果我们放弃，我们就没有机会达到目标。所以填写chance。
