【解析】

本文是哲理文章，把人生的經(jīng)歷比作鉛筆：要想成就更好的自己，就要像鉛筆讓人握著一樣，要讓人了解你的才能，把你放在合適的位置；無論經(jīng)歷什么痛苦、在什么地方工作，都要履行自己的職責(zé)、努力取得成就，每個人都可以成就自己有意義的人生。

【1】句意：你將可以做很多大事，但只有你允許自己被人握在手里。

考查名詞辨析。 A. pocket（口袋）；B. bag（書包）；C. hand（手）；D. mouth（嘴巴）；

根據(jù)常識“手握筆”，故選C。

【2】句意：你將會不時地經(jīng)歷痛苦的刀削，但是你需要這樣才能成為更好的鉛筆。

考查短語辨析。 A. in all（總共）；B. in return（回報）；C. in the end（最后）；D. from time to time（不時地）；根據(jù)下文“but you’ll need it to become a better pencil. 但是你需要這樣才能成為更好的鉛筆。”，推斷想要成為好的鉛筆就需要“不時地”經(jīng)歷被刀削的痛苦；故選D。

【3】句意：你最重要的部分總是在最里面的。

考查副詞辨析。A. inside（里面）；B. outside（外面）；C. indoors（室內(nèi)）；D. outdoors（室外）；最重要的總是藏在最里面的，inside 意為“里面”，故選A。

【4】句意：鉛筆懂得、承諾要記得（這些），牢記在心帶著目標(biāo)進(jìn)入鉛筆盒。

考查動詞辨析。A. produced（生產(chǎn)）；B. promised（承諾）；C. provided（提供）；D. prepared（準(zhǔn)備）；根據(jù)下文“and went into the box with purpose in its mind. 牢記在心帶著目標(biāo)進(jìn)入鉛筆盒”，推斷上文是“承諾要記得制造者的囑咐”，promise意為“承諾”，故選B。

【5】句意：你將會經(jīng)歷生活中各種問題，那些問題可能是痛苦的經(jīng)歷。

考查名詞辨析。 A. experiences（經(jīng)歷）；B. results（結(jié)果）；C. solutions（解決）； D. mistakes（錯誤）；根據(jù)上文“You will go through various problems in life你將會經(jīng)歷生活中各種問題”，推斷“生活中碰到的問題可能是痛苦的經(jīng)歷”，experience意為“經(jīng)歷”，故選A。

【6】句意：無論情況如何，你必須繼續(xù)履行你的職責(zé)。

考查短語辨析。A. enjoy yourself（過得愉快）；B. keep a diary（日記）；C. do your duties（履行職責(zé)）；D. make a decision（做決定）；根據(jù)上文No matter what the condition is, you must continue to write.不論什么情況你都要繼續(xù)寫”，下文把人生經(jīng)歷的比作的鉛筆的經(jīng)歷，推斷句意是“無論情況如何，你必須繼續(xù)履行你的的職責(zé)。”，do one’s duty意為“履行職責(zé)”，故選C。

本篇完型填空考查詞匯辨析、固定搭配等。解答前要跳空閱讀全文，理解大意；再閱讀選項，逐個理解選項的詞義；然后回歸原文，根據(jù)句意、上下文聯(lián)系、固定搭配排除干擾項，得出答案。清楚本篇文章的結(jié)構(gòu)是解答的關(guān)鍵，前文是制造者告誡鉛筆要想成為更好的鉛筆所要經(jīng)歷的一切，下文是把人生比作鉛筆，根據(jù)上下文的聯(lián)系，很容易作答。
