Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque (如畫的) countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to ___50___, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it ___51___ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, ___52___ realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.

Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape ___53___ which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might ___54___ have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened ___55___, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists (薄霧) which now ___56___ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing (迷人的). My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to ___57___ it disappeared. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the ___58___ of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the ___59___ of one’s own sensibilities.

It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my ___60___ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely ___61___ and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, __62__ with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final ___63___, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is dangerously weak ___64___ based on enduring principles of moral conduct.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了作者騎車去郊游結(jié)果遇到了天氣的變化，看到自己所在的地方烏云密布，而那邊卻是艷陽高照，于是決定拼命地快騎，趕到那邊的天空，把自己累的筋疲力盡，卻怎么也沒有云彩跑得快，于是自己悟出了一個道理。暴風雨不會永不停息，任何不適也并非難以容忍。只要勇敢地面對困難、失望而不沮喪，成功而不驕傲，那我們的人生之戰(zhàn)便取得了一半的勝利。

1.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。ask問； relate敘述，涉及； understand理解； call打電話。strange to relate說來奇怪，是固定短語；然而令人驚奇的是，故選B。

2.考查形容詞及上下文的呼應。easy容易的； likely可能的； impossible不可能的； comfortable舒適的。根據(jù)The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward.我蹬著車使勁往前沖，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)怎么也到不了那片陽光普照之地。故選C。

3.考查連詞及上下文的呼應。before在……之前； after在……之后； as因為； while當……時候。半小時后，精疲力盡的我停止了這場不公平的抗爭，意識到自己根本無法到達那片晴朗的天地。故選A。

4.考查介詞及短語上下文的呼應。in front of在……前面； on account of 由于；for the sake of為了；at the convenience of為了方便。頓時，我豁然開朗，我在毫不重要的事情上疲于奔波，卻不曾欣賞途中的景致，忘記了自己旅行的目的。故選C。

5.考查副詞及上下文的呼應。therefore因此； consequently因此； accordingly于是，因此； otherwise另外，否則。的確，我差點錯過了途中許多美好的景致。故選D。

6.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。puzzle 迷惑； appreciation欣賞，感激； wisdom智慧；shock震驚。我滿懷感激地凝望著眼前的景色，故選B。

7.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。crowned居……之頂，覆蓋,籠罩； covered覆蓋；  swept掃除；floated漂浮。樹木繁茂的山上，煙雨朦朧；別樣的綠樹清新明朗，令人神迷。故選A。

8.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。enjoy欣賞； embrace擁抱； surround包圍；escape逃離。大雨帶給我的煩惱頓時消散，想要逃離的欲望也不復存在。故選D。

9.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。resources 資源； sources來源； causes 原因；courses路線。它帶給我一種全新的視覺景觀，讓我懂得美與滿足就源自于我們身邊，故選B。

10.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。distance距離； help 幫助； range范圍；comprehension理解。只要細心發(fā)現(xiàn)便能唾手可得。故選C。

11.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。requesting要求，請求； waiting等候； attempting企圖，試圖； expecting期待。它讓我明白，對于無法避免的環(huán)境與條件，企圖逃避毫無意義，故選C。

13.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。happiness幸福； joy快樂； disappointment失望； surprise吃驚。我知道，只要勇敢地面對困難、失望而不沮喪，成功而不驕傲，那我們的人生之戰(zhàn)便取得了一半的勝利。故選C。

14.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。failure失��； victory勝利； relief減輕；decision決定。我也更清楚地意識到，危險遠非災難，而失敗也許就是最終勝利的先行者。故選B。

15.考查連詞及上下文的呼應。if如果； though即使； until 直到……才；unless除非，如果不。歸根結(jié)底，一切成就如果不（unless）經(jīng)受道德準則的考驗，就會脆弱不堪，危機重重。故選D。

考點：人生百味類短文。

點評：由于完形填空的文章是一個意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇，圍繞一個話題論述，因此在行文中詞語的重復、替代、復現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的。根據(jù)這個原則，某一個空格所對應的答案很可能就是在上下文中復現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞，考生可以根據(jù)這些詞之間的有機聯(lián)系來確定答案。所以，解題時應聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索，如某一個詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們在做題時不可能總是重復地閱讀文章，因此，在做完形填空時要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力。
