    research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable     I sat down to write a letter rejecting the     . Halfway through, a    

ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I     the assignment.

There were some bad     . But by the time I finished the trip, I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most     places, without guides or     advance bookings, confident that somehow I will     .

The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition     . But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning     , the world opens to you.

I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a(n)     . And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept worry as another name for     and I believe I can     wonders.

1.B 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.D 7.C 8.A 9.D 10.B 11.C 12.D 13.A 14.C 15.B 16.B 17.C 18.D 19.D 20.A 【解析】 1.B 上一句中提到写作任务要求作者在三个月内游历欧洲,由此可知作者以前曾经“出国”几次。A项表示“在(船、车、飞机)上”,显然不符合语境。 2.2】A 根据本句中的but可知虽然作者有过出国的经历,但是不能“声称”自己知道整个欧洲大陆的路线,此处claim表示“声称,宣称,断言”。后三项分别表示“宣布”“希望”“否认”,均不符合语境。 3.3】 D 上面提到的是作者对整个欧洲大陆的路线不太熟悉,此处叙述的是作者的外语存在的问题,二者之间显然是递进关系,所以用moreover而且。 4.4】 C 作者的外语知识仅仅“局限于”在大学期间学习的一点法语。limit…to…意为“把……限制在……”。 5.5】 B 根据下一句中的内容可知作者就是接受这个任务“犹豫不决”。此外,第28空前面也有线索提示。A项意为“辞职”;C项意为“发抖”;D项意为“怀疑”,都与下一句中的内容不符。 6.6】 D 作者不会说欧洲的语言,“远远不”熟悉当地的地理和交通状况。far from表示“远非”。前三项分别表示“非常”“超出”“除了……之外”,均与语境不符。 7.7】C 第一段的第一句提到作者在欧洲游历是写作任务的需要,再结合本句中的conduct interviews(进行采访)可知是要进行“调查”。 8.8】 A 按人之常情,每个人都喜欢周游世界,可是作者考虑到自身的实际条件,感觉不可能完成这项任务,所以十分“遗憾”地准备回信拒绝。 9.9】 D 此处与第一段第一句中的a writing assignment相呼应,表示作者坐下来写信拒绝这次“任务”。另外,本段最后一句也有线索提示。 10.0】 B 作者把信写到一半的时候,脑海中浮现出一个“想法”:如果你不尝试,就无法学到知识。A项意为“反应”;C项意为“意义”;D项意为“冲突”,都不符合语境。 11.1】 C 作者本想拒绝这次的任务,可是有了上述想法后,就“接受”了任务。A项意为“完成”;B项意为“收到”;D项意为“抵制”,显然都不正确。 12.2】 D 由下文可知作者在欧洲游历期间有一些不好的“经历”。前三项分别意为“交换”“条件,状况”“旅行”,都不符合语境。 13.3】A 哪怕是去最“遥远”的地方,没有导游,“甚至”没有预订,作者也会毫不犹豫地前往。后三项分别意为“可使用的”“有趣的”“拥挤的”,在文章中都没有信息支持。 14.4】C 解析参见上题。 15.5】B 自从上次的写作任务后,作者对自己充满了信心,认为自己“能够做到”。假如选择C项,需要在后面加上it。 16.6】 B 根据定义,陌生而又不同的事物几乎“让人恐惧”。A项意为“令人震惊的”;C项意为“迷人的”;D项意为“令人激动的”。 17.7】 C 但是你每次尝试之后,都会有所收获,随着学识的“积累”,世界将会为你敞开。A项意为“被提及”;B项意为“露面”;D项意为“提高,增加(数量、速度等)”,都不符合语境。 18.8】 D 作者尝试的是新奇的事物,所以乘坐“热气球”从莱茵河上升起最能体现作者的这种心理。 19.9】 D 作者之所以这么做并不是因为比别人勇敢或者胆大,而是把担心看作是一种“挑战”。 20.20】 A 作者相信自己能够“创造”奇迹,work wonders意为“创造奇迹”。
