3.As a child I was always good at drawing and art.I won(36)B,got constant attention,and even saw my face in the newspaper and on television because of my (37)C ability to draw.I internally thought that the entire Metro Detroit area had (38)D my artistic talent.
I had spent a lot of time drawing and now I was being(39)A to the front.Being a shy,non-talkative child,I found this had a huge impact on my (40)C and my life.Most people who happen to involve themselves in something that they are good at are (41)D to take it and run with it.My life was no (42)D.From teachers,to principals,to family members,everyone seemingly had a ton of advice to give me in regards to art.Actually I was desiring something (43)A all the while.
(44)B I was winning art contests and gaining tracking in the field I had an amazing(45)for writing.I entered poetry and essay contests…and lost them all.It was such a(46)B with my artistic competition experience that I didn't even get honorable mention!It was so (47)C that a friend of mine told me once,"If you're so good at drawing why do you even (48)A about anything else?Stick to it!"At twelve this sounded like a prediction.Though it was well (49)B,eighteen years later I'm (50)D I didn't take his words to heart.
(51)A passed with me still writing and still occasionally entering contests.It wasn't until my second year in college that I(52)D placed in a poetry contest.That doesn't mean I am great.However,I can say that as a writer I've truly grown.(53)C,especially when it comes to things you truly love,is essential.
I'm sure there are things in your life that are (54)A and yet,rewarding.Believe in yourself and take some time to reinvest some (55)B back into the"thing"that didn't come easy and see what happens.

解答 36-40BCDAC  41-45 DDABC   46-50 BCABD   51-55 ADCAB
36.B 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)第三段第一句中的"I was winning art contests"可知,此處是指贏得了比賽的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì).a(chǎn)ward"獎(jiǎng),獎(jiǎng)金",故選B項(xiàng).
37.C 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)文章第一句"As a child I was…"以及下文"my artistic talent"可知,作者天生就有畫畫的天賦.natural"天賦的,天生具有某種能力的",故選C項(xiàng).
38.D 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)上文"As a child I was always good at drawingand art."和作者又因此贏了許多獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),得到了人們的廣泛關(guān)注可推知,作者認(rèn)為整個(gè)底特律都認(rèn)可了他杰出的藝術(shù)天賦.recognize"(正式)認(rèn)可,接受";evaluate"評(píng)估";develop"發(fā)展";reveal"透露".故選D項(xiàng).
39.A 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文"Being a shy,non-talkative child"以及"From teachers…to art."可推知,作者出名后被推到了大眾的面前.故選A項(xiàng).
40.C 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文最后一段的"Believe in yourself"可知,畫畫上的成功使作者的自信心受到了影響,從一個(gè)害羞的孩子變得自信了.confidence"信心",故選C項(xiàng).
41.D 考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)常識(shí)可知,當(dāng)孩子的特長(zhǎng)和天賦被發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí),人們往往是鼓勵(lì)其繼續(xù)發(fā)展.encourage"鼓勵(lì)",故選D項(xiàng).
42.D 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文"From teachers,to principals,to family members,everyoneseemingly had a ton of advice to give me in regards to art."可知,作者和別人沒有什么不同,當(dāng)潛能被發(fā)現(xiàn)后,同樣得到了大家的支持和鼓勵(lì).no different"沒有差別",為固定搭配,故選D項(xiàng).
43.A 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文可知,作者開始嘗試與畫畫完全不同的全新領(lǐng)域--寫作,由此可推知,作者想要追求全新的事物.故選A項(xiàng).
44.B 考查連詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,此句前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故用While"盡管",放在句首,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句.故選B項(xiàng).
45.C 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)上文"Actually,I was desiring something ________all the while.",并結(jié)合固定短語 have an appetite for (意為"渴望")可知,作者也非常喜歡寫作.故選C項(xiàng).
46.B 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)上文"and lost them all"可知,作者在詩歌和作文的比賽中都失敗了,這和自己在藝術(shù)上取得的輝煌成就形成了巨大反差.contrast"對(duì)照,對(duì)比",故選B項(xiàng).
47.C 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)上文"and lost them all"可知,失敗的滋味是痛苦的.bitter"令人不快的,使人悲痛的",故選C項(xiàng).
48.A 考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)語境"Stick to it!"可知,作者的朋友鼓勵(lì)作者專注去做一件事,而不是什么都去做.此處表示"你為什么還要在意其他的事情呢?".care about"關(guān)心,在意"故選A項(xiàng).
49.B 考查動(dòng)詞辨析.盡管意圖很好,十八年后"我"很高興"我"沒有聽他的話.故選B項(xiàng).
50.D 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)下文可知,作者在寫作方面的努力終于獲得了成效,由此可推知,作者很高興,當(dāng)時(shí)沒有把朋友的話放在心上.delighted"高興的",故選D項(xiàng).
51.A 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)上文的"eighteen years later"和下文"It wasn't until my second year incollege"可知,此處表示多年以后.故選A項(xiàng).
52.D 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)該句中的"placed in a poetry contest"可知,作者的多年努力終于有了成效,與本句的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型相呼應(yīng).eventually"最后,終于",故選D項(xiàng).
53.C 考查名詞辨析.作者通過多年堅(jiān)持不懈的努力,在寫作方面終于嶄露頭角,其中意志力起著關(guān)鍵性的作用.故選C項(xiàng).
54.A 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)空后的"and yet,rewarding"對(duì)比可推知,人生有許多事情是有挑戰(zhàn)性的,一如作者對(duì)寫作的追求.challenging"挑戰(zhàn)性的",故選A項(xiàng).
55.B 考查上下文串聯(lián).根據(jù)"the'thing'that didn't come easy"和"take some time"可知,那些不是隨隨便便就能夠做到的事情是需要時(shí)間和精力的不斷投入才會(huì)見成效的.故選B項(xiàng).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 完形填空的做題步驟是:根據(jù)首句提供的信息,快速閱讀文章,從整體感知全文,掌握大意.這是第一遍閱讀,讀時(shí)要跳過空格,不看選項(xiàng),困難肯定是有的,不懂之處不要停留,力求把注意力集中在文章的主線上.要注意文中的暗示,努力找出關(guān)鍵詞.如果是故事性文章,關(guān)鍵詞就是時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和人物.抓住了關(guān)鍵詞就抓住了故事的線索,進(jìn)而理解全文.然后根據(jù)文章的大意進(jìn)行第二遍閱讀,此時(shí)可邊閱讀邊粗選答案,這是為了盡量減少空格,幫助更透徹地理解全文.
