There is no one “  22  ” place to begin. Each of us has a different   23  place, and the place where we will be of greatest service has to do with where we most want to   24  .

Answer 1

21--30    CACAD   CBADC  

解析:

本文講述的是該怎樣做才能成為對世界有影響之人。

21、聯(lián)系上文，他想成為對世界有影響的人（make a different），卻有如此多的事業(yè)(causes)。他不知道該怎樣投入才能對世界有最大的影響，故選C。

22、 根據(jù)下文，不同的人都有不同的起點，是故沒有一個“合適”的起點。

23、starting place 意為起點。

24、give這里用作不及物動詞，意為“給予”。

25、identify sth as …確認﹑鑒別出某事物是… 。

26、此句意為“我們的力量之地是我們最有熱情而行動的地方，我們最有信心的地方”。

27、that 引導的同位語從句修飾faith, 是指有可能產(chǎn)生結果的信心.

28、prayer這里意為“祈禱，禱告”。其它選項與句意不符。

29、根據(jù)本句：“如果我們對世界和平的禱告毫無幫助的話，如果我們祈禱自己家庭和諧，影響會大很多”。

30、make an effort 意為“努力”；make it 意為“成功”；make a difference 意為“有影響,起(重要)作用”； make ends meet 意為“使收支相抵”。本句意為沒有能起重要作用的信心，我們的幫助力量就會減少。
