Question

I have told my friend Graham that I often ride two miles from house to the town center, but unfortunately there is a big hill on the way. But he told me that I should be glad of the extra exercise (1)_______ the hill provided.

My attitude(态度) to the hill has now changed. I used to complain it, but now I tell (2)_______ the following. The hill will exercise my body. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. (3)意味着我活得更久些。 The hill is my friend.

In fact, there are many problems to be faced and overcome in life. The most important to succeed in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境). From time to time we have to face hardships, problems, accidents, difficulties and so on. (4)We can’t choose the adversity, but we can choose our attitude towards it.

In 1931, Douglas Bader was 21 when he lost both legs because of a flying accident. He decided to fly again and later became a hero. He said, (5)“Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. Make up your mind; you’ll have a goal at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade(劝说) you that things are too difficult or impossible.”

Great people in history chose their positive attitude. They took on the challenge. They won. And we should learn from them.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意成功人生最重要的是我们对待逆境的态度。我们不时要面临困难，问题，事故等。我们不能避免逆境，但我们可以选择我们对待逆境的态度。历史上伟大的人物选择了积极的态度。他们接受挑战。他们赢了。我们应该向他们学习。

1.⑴很显然_______ the hill provided在句子中是定语从句，在修饰前面的exercise，而先行词exercise在定语从句中作动词provided的宾语，可以用关系代词that/which代替。 ⑵ 联系前半句I used to complain it, but结合连词but可推知此处该填写myself。

2.本题考查汉译英。译成英语后“我活得更久些”应该作动词“意味着：的表语。所以译作：It will mean that I live longer.

3.本题考查同义句。（4）句We can’t choose the adversity, but we can choose our attitude towards it的意思为：我们不能避免逆境，但是我们能选择我们面对逆境的态度。这是一个并列句。他也可表达为：我们选择的是面对逆境的态度而不是避免逆境。所以可在改写后句子的空白处填写instead of。

4.本题考查英译汉。要注意句中who tells you that you can’t do this or that是定语从句，在anyone。修饰前面的不定代词anyone。所以译为：不要听那些叫你不能做这做那的人的话。

5.根据第三段第二句The most important to succeed in life is our attitude towards adversity可知成功人生最重要的是我们对待逆境的态度，所以作答：The most important thing to success is our attitude towards the adversity.
