Answer 1

【答案】

【2】A

【3】C

【4】E

【解析】

本文讲述了作者在经历了一场变故后，如何从阴影中走出来，并以自己的亲身经历告诉大家生活中总会遇到困难，要积极勇敢面对它。

【1】句意：我的激情已经消失。

根据下文“I lost heart and had no idea what I would become”我失去了信心，可知前文表述的是我的激情已经消失，消失是用固定词组take away。是这场事故带走了我的激情，所以用被动语态，文章讲述的是过去已经发生的事情，所以用过去完成时的被动语态，结构为had been done，所以空格处是taken away。故选B。

【2】句意：经历了8个月的痛苦后，一些事情开始改变了。我开始去参加义工，而不是坐在那浪费我的时间。

and表示并列关系连词，前后谓语动词的时态保持一致，instead of doing sth，所以空格处要用动词ing形式。根据下文讲述了作者开始去做义工，可知此空格处要表示的是做义工这件事取代了每天坐在那浪费时间。所以空格处是wasting。故选A。

【3】句意：逐渐地，我走出了阴影，并且重拾我的信心。

根据“I stepped out of the shadow”我走出了阴影，可知空格处要表达重拾了信心，用动词rebuild。本段落用的是一般过去时，所以此处也需要用rebuild的一般过去时rebuilt。故选C。

【4】句意：我的苦难并没有阻止我走向成功。

固定短语搭配stop sb from doing sth 阻止某人做某事。根据“I’m a very confident and optimistic person”我是一个非常自信和乐观的人，可知，这个痛苦的经历并没有阻止我走向成功，固定搭配fail to do sth做某事失败了，空格前谓语动词用的是一般过去时was，所以空格处也用一般过去时failed。故选E。
