Question

19．Do you like trying different things？Are you afraid（61）ofthings that you think you're bad at？
Last year I started to learn t'at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress．It was something new for me，and I found it to be quite difficult，very（62）different（difference）form anything I'd ever learned before．Small（63）movements  （move） are important in t'ai chi．I was used to being fast and active，（64）but to learn t'ai chi I had to learn patience．Now I've found that I'm a much more patient person than before，and t'ai chi isn't nearly as difficult as it（65）was（be ）before．
We tend（66）to like（like）things we are good at-that's normal．For example，I'm naturally very good at badminton and tennis，but I'm very had at anything  （67）that   involves keeping balance，such as skating，skiing and gymnastics．T'ai chi has（68）greatly（great）improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me．
My point is that you can keep（69）doing （do） the things you know you're good at and live in your comfort zone，or you can try something new．If you don't try new things，you'll never know what it would be like to try something new．Challenge（70）yourself（you）．It will definitely pay off in the end．

Answer 1

分析 我是一个急脾气，为了学习太极，我不得不学会有耐心，但是学会了太极却给了我很多好处，例如我不擅长需要平衡的运动，例如滑雪滑冰等等．所以学习我们不擅长的东西会使我们获益良多．

解答 61 of．考查介词．固定短语be afraid of表示"害怕"．   
62．different．考查派生词．做表语，和形容词quite difficult并列，用形容词different，表示"不同于"．  
63．movements．考查派生词．做are important in t'ai chi的主语，用名词复数movements．   
64．but．考查连词．to learn t'ai chi I had to learn patience 表示"为了学习太极，我不得不学会有耐心"，和上句是转折关系，所以用but．  
65．was．考查系动词的时态．根据时间状语before可知系动词用过去式was．   
66．to like．考查非谓语动词．谓语动词 tend 用动词不定式to like做宾语．
 67．that．考查定语从句．代指先行词anything，做定语从句   involves keeping balance的主语，用that．
68．greatly．考查副词．修饰动词improved 用副词greatly． 
69．doing．考查非谓语动词．谓语动词 keep 用动名词doing做宾语． 
70．yourself．考查反身代词．祈使句Challenge（70）（you）．省略了主语you，所以宾语用反身代词yourself．

点评 考查语法填空．
通常只能接不定式作宾语的动词：
agree （同意）； offer （提出）； intend，plan （打算，计划）； demand，ask （要求）； promise （答应）； help （帮忙）； prepare （准备）； decide （决定）； refuse （拒绝）；dare （敢于）； choose （选择）； wish，hope，want，expect （希望，想要）； fail；（不能；忘记）； pretend （假装）； manage （设法）； determine （决心）．
