【解析】

试题这篇短文主要讲述成功与失败问题。文章介绍，每个人都会遇到失败，但是对待失败，不同的人有不同的方式：有的人萎靡不振，有的人勇敢面对，前者会遇到更多的失败，后者则终有一天实现梦想。因此，只要坚持不懈，人生就会大有不同。

1.考查介词短语及语境的理解。At first起初；All the time总是；For example例如；Of course当然。根据下文的sometimes we fail the exams, sometimes in the sports meet的描述可知，这里是举例说明failure is a common(普通的) thing for us to meet with（失败是我们共同遇到的问题），故选C。

2.考查动词及语境的理解。lose hope失去信心；win成功；get得到；accept接受。根据下文but we fail的转折可知，这里指的是“别人成功，而我们却失败了”。故选B。

3.考查副词及语境的理解。联系上文的举例说明可知，这里是归纳段落大意：几乎每个人在生命中都会遇到失败。因此用almost表示“几乎”。故选A。

4.考查名词及语境的理解。activities活动；answers答案；ideas观点；ways方式。根据下文Now let’s imagine (猜想) the ends of the two ways的描述可知，这里指的是“不同的人对待失败有不同的方式”。故选D。

5.考查名词及语境的理解。根据语境，有的人失败之后就会失去信心，似乎认为就是世界末日了。the end of the world世界末日。故选B。

6.考查副词及语境的理解。seriously严肃地；serious严肃的；angry生气的；angrily生气地。根据语境，这里应用副词修饰take。联系上文“有的人觉得失败就是世界末日”，这里是指有的人对待失败不是那么严肃。故选A。

7.考查动词不定式及语境的理解。根据语境，这里指的是“他们将坚持不懈并尽力获得最后的成功”。try one’s best to do sth.尽力做某事。故选C。

8.考查形容词及语境的理解。careful小心的；happy开心的；angry生气的；upset沮丧的。根据语境，这里指的是“如果害怕失败而总是萎靡不振，不敢改变自己，就会遇到更多的失败”。故选D。

9.考查动词及语境的理解。根据语境，只要充满信心，勇敢面对，坚持不懈，就会成功。be/become successful成功。故选A。

10.考查副词及语境的理解。often经常；always总是；never决不；seldom几乎没有。根据语境，这里指的是“只要坚持不懈，总是一点点的去做，就会大有不同”。故应选B。
