Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around, the continent. , my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I . How would I, unable to speak the language, familiar with local geography or transportation systems, conduct interviews and do
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.

【解析】
1.B 上一句中提到寫(xiě)作任務(wù)要求作者在三個(gè)月內(nèi)游歷歐洲,由此可知作者以前曾經(jīng)“出國(guó)”幾次。A項(xiàng)表示“在(船、車(chē)、飛機(jī))上”,顯然不符合語(yǔ)境。
2.2】A 根據(jù)本句中的but可知雖然作者有過(guò)出國(guó)的經(jīng)歷,但是不能“聲稱(chēng)”自己知道整個(gè)歐洲大陸的路線,此處claim表示“聲稱(chēng),宣稱(chēng),斷言”。后三項(xiàng)分別表示“宣布”“希望”“否認(rèn)”,均不符合語(yǔ)境。
3.3】 D 上面提到的是作者對(duì)整個(gè)歐洲大陸的路線不太熟悉,此處敘述的是作者的外語(yǔ)存在的問(wèn)題,二者之間顯然是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系,所以用moreover而且。
4.4】 C 作者的外語(yǔ)知識(shí)僅僅“局限于”在大學(xué)期間學(xué)習(xí)的一點(diǎn)法語(yǔ)。limit…to…意為“把……限制在……”。
5.5】 B 根據(jù)下一句中的內(nèi)容可知作者就是接受這個(gè)任務(wù)“猶豫不決”。此外,第28空前面也有線索提示。A項(xiàng)意為“辭職”;C項(xiàng)意為“發(fā)抖”;D項(xiàng)意為“懷疑”,都與下一句中的內(nèi)容不符。
6.6】 D 作者不會(huì)說(shuō)歐洲的語(yǔ)言,“遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不”熟悉當(dāng)?shù)氐牡乩砗徒煌顩r。far from表示“遠(yuǎn)非”。前三項(xiàng)分別表示“非常”“超出”“除了……之外”,均與語(yǔ)境不符。
7.7】C 第一段的第一句提到作者在歐洲游歷是寫(xiě)作任務(wù)的需要,再結(jié)合本句中的conduct interviews(進(jìn)行采訪)可知是要進(jìn)行“調(diào)查”。
8.8】 A 按人之常情,每個(gè)人都喜歡周游世界,可是作者考慮到自身的實(shí)際條件,感覺(jué)不可能完成這項(xiàng)任務(wù),所以十分“遺憾”地準(zhǔn)備回信拒絕。
9.9】 D 此處與第一段第一句中的a writing assignment相呼應(yīng),表示作者坐下來(lái)寫(xiě)信拒絕這次“任務(wù)”。另外,本段最后一句也有線索提示。
10.0】 B 作者把信寫(xiě)到一半的時(shí)候,腦海中浮現(xiàn)出一個(gè)“想法”:如果你不嘗試,就無(wú)法學(xué)到知識(shí)。A項(xiàng)意為“反應(yīng)”;C項(xiàng)意為“意義”;D項(xiàng)意為“沖突”,都不符合語(yǔ)境。
11.1】 C 作者本想拒絕這次的任務(wù),可是有了上述想法后,就“接受”了任務(wù)。A項(xiàng)意為“完成”;B項(xiàng)意為“收到”;D項(xiàng)意為“抵制”,顯然都不正確。
12.2】 D 由下文可知作者在歐洲游歷期間有一些不好的“經(jīng)歷”。前三項(xiàng)分別意為“交換”“條件,狀況”“旅行”,都不符合語(yǔ)境。
13.3】A 哪怕是去最“遙遠(yuǎn)”的地方,沒(méi)有導(dǎo)游,“甚至”沒(méi)有預(yù)訂,作者也會(huì)毫不猶豫地前往。后三項(xiàng)分別意為“可使用的”“有趣的”“擁擠的”,在文章中都沒(méi)有信息支持。
14.4】C 解析參見(jiàn)上題。
15.5】B 自從上次的寫(xiě)作任務(wù)后,作者對(duì)自己充滿了信心,認(rèn)為自己“能夠做到”。假如選擇C項(xiàng),需要在后面加上it。
16.6】 B 根據(jù)定義,陌生而又不同的事物幾乎“讓人恐懼”。A項(xiàng)意為“令人震驚的”;C項(xiàng)意為“迷人的”;D項(xiàng)意為“令人激動(dòng)的”。
17.7】 C 但是你每次嘗試之后,都會(huì)有所收獲,隨著學(xué)識(shí)的“積累”,世界將會(huì)為你敞開(kāi)。A項(xiàng)意為“被提及”;B項(xiàng)意為“露面”;D項(xiàng)意為“提高,增加(數(shù)量、速度等)”,都不符合語(yǔ)境。
18.8】 D 作者嘗試的是新奇的事物,所以乘坐“熱氣球”從萊茵河上升起最能體現(xiàn)作者的這種心理。
19.9】 D 作者之所以這么做并不是因?yàn)楸葎e人勇敢或者膽大,而是把擔(dān)心看作是一種“挑戰(zhàn)”。
20.20】 A 作者相信自己能夠“創(chuàng)造”奇跡,work wonders意為“創(chuàng)造奇跡”。
