67. C。 本句的意思是：\成功或失败在很大程度上取决于你是否能扬长避短。\改进”；victory“胜利”；achievement“成果，成就”，这三个词都不合题意，只有C) failure \失败\最合适。
68. A。 to a great extent是固定短语，意思是\很大程度上\，符合题意。类似的说法还有：to a large extent, to some extent, to an extent。但是the, some, certain都不能与great extent搭配。
69. B。 to a great extent 是插入语，on与前面的rely构成本句谓语。rely on为固定搭配，意思是\依赖于，取决于\。
70. B。 本句为倒装句，表示强调，正常语序为：The attitude is the most significance. of与名词连用，表示具有某种性质、状态。of significance这里意为\非常重要\。
71. A。 根据句子结构判断a person后应当是定语从句，修饰先行词person，修饰表示人的关联代词用who, 表示\开始工作的那个人\。
72. C。 本句的意思是\如果一个刚刚开始工作的人就深信自己不会喜欢或肯定不适应这项工作，那么他就暴露了只会阻碍他成功的缺点。\后面省略了主语he，与sure构成分句的主谓，表示某人肯定某事。ensure\保证\；certain\肯定的(只能用于it作主语的句子里)\；surely\确实地\在用法和含以上与原文不相符。
73. D。 固定搭配be firm in one’s mind意思是\坚信\。其它选项都不符合题意和搭配习惯。
74. C。 capable of doing sth.是固定搭配，意为\能够干什么\。
75. D。 attempt用做名词，后接介词at，意为\试图，努力\；如果后面接介词on，则表示攻击的意思。其他两项都不能与attempt搭配。
76. C。 本句的意思是\具有某一工作的必要技能是一个优势\。此处应填句子的主语，故选动名词having。
77. D。 本句主语是A book-keeper or a carpenter，根据主谓一致原则，其谓语应当用单数is，而不是复数are。
78. D。 on与前面的draw搭配，表示\利用\。做不定式help的补语。其它选项不能与draw搭配。 79. B。 本句的意思是\克服缺点\，应选weakness“缺点，弱点”。 idea\观点\；strength\优点\；advantage\优势\，都不符合句意。
80. B。 固定短语take stock of，意为\对…….估价，对…….作出判断\。
81. A。 本句的意思是：\随着更深入地阅读…….\，从语法角度，此处应填关联词。四个选项中，只有as能用做关联词，表示过程。
82. D。 根据语法和语义，此处所填词要与with搭配使用；根据居中的will be 提示和句意。应填动词的将来进行时的主动形式，句意为\随着书中内容的进一步深入，我们将处理诸如加强学习技能等的具体问题。\
83. C。 根据上下文，这里应当指\学习技能\，动名词可用来修饰名词，与名词构成名词短语，所以选C项learning。
84. B。 固定短语to begin with，为固定搭配，意为\首先，第一\，常用做插入语。 85. A。 谓语动词pause后，look into又是动词原形短语，所以这里应当选to，构成动词不定式，作目的状语。其余选项都是介词，不合题意。
86. C。 本句对全文进行总结概括，此句提到了交流技巧和策略及学习习惯。文章的开头
部分提高了“态度也十分重要”，故选attitude。
Robert Edwards ___67 ___in an unusual accident many years ___68___ .He was also partially deaf ___69___ old age.Last week he was walking near his home___70___ a thunderstorm___71___ .He took shelter ___72___ a tree and was struck by lightning.

67. A) blinded B）was blinded C）had been blind D）had been blinded 68. A) later B）before C）ago D）early 69. A) because of B）because C）at D）in 70. A) when B）while C）until D）where
71. A) fell B） blew C）formed D）approached 72. A) in B）on C）under D）near
73. A) thrown B）knocked C）fallen D）beaten 74. A) just B）some C）for D )within

85. A) restore B）be restored C）have restored D）have been restored 86. A) other B） the other C）another D）one
67. B。 此处需要填一个谓语，从下一句可以看出，本句应该是过去时态，所以B项“被……失明”，符合句意。
68. C。此处需填一个表示过去的副词，C项ago指从现在算起若干时间以前，和动词一般过去时一同使用。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。
69. A。 耳聋和年老有关系。B项because后只能跟从句，做原因状语，不符合原文结构要求；because of后则跟名词或名词性短语，符合结构要求。C项at和D项in均不能和
old age连用。
70. A。 此处需填一个关联词引导后面的从句，表示突然出现的情况，四个选项中只有when符合此种用法，故选A。
71. D。 A项fell \落下，降落\，指物体从上到下的垂直运动，用于此处，搭配不当；blew \（风）吹、刮\，用于此处，也属搭配不当；C项formed \形成\，指事物经历一个发展过程之后，最终形成，这与原文所表达的意义不相符。Approached“接近”，更合适，所以D项为正确答案。
72. C。 遇到雨，当然要在树下躲雨，故用\。
73. B。 C项fallen \摔倒\，A项thrown \扔\，强调动作施者所做的\扔\的动作；D项beaten \打，敲\，强调\打\的具体动作，一般用于具体意义；B项knocked \敲、击、打\，既可用于具体的，又可用于抽象的\打击，击倒\，用于此处，符合原文表达需要，故为正确答案。
74. B。 A项just \刚好\，表达过于精确，不符合上下文；C项for后跟一段时间，表达动作的持续过程，如果用于此处，则不能用later，；D项within \在……内\，表达过于精确。B项some \大约\，意义和about相近，符合原文表达，因此B项为正确答案。 75. D。主句的伴随状语，表示一种伴随的动作或状态，一般用分词或分词短语。A项to lie是动词不定式，不能做伴随状语；C项lay是动词lie的一般过去式，不能做伴随状语；B项having lain是现在分词的完成体，不能做伴随状语。D项lying是动词lie的现在分词形式，符合原文要求。故为正确答案。
76. A。 空缺处前后为两个并列分句描述两个动作。因此when，Dwhile被排除。两个动作之间并无转折关系，所以but也被排除。And可以用于连接两个并列句，故为正确答案。
77. C。 由于他以前双目失明，而现在突见光明，所以此处应填一个转折连词。thus \这样\；Btherefore \因此\；above all \首先\均不是转折连词。but \但是，然而\，转折连词，为正确答案。
78. A 。out of \在……外部\。钟表不可能挂在屋子外，故首先排除。into \到……里\，着重表示动作的方向，用于此处不恰当。through \穿过\，着重指物体从某一空间中间穿过。across \在对面\。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。 79. B 。whenever \无论何时\，用于此处，与原表达意义不符while,when,as都有\当……的时候\的意思。as着重表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生，持续时间不长。据此分析，as用于此处不当。when可以表示主句动作发生在从句之后，符合原文表达需要。因此B项为正确答案。
80. D。 Robert是后来失明的，此处应为\恢复，再得到\。gained \得到\； gotten \获得\使回忆起……\都不符合句意。regained \重新得到\，符合句意，为正确答案。
81. C 。at \在（某一时间、地点）\； in \在（地点、时间）里面\； on \在……上面，在（某一天）\，均无此意。Cfrom \从……中得到\，符合句意。
82. B。 这里指的是解释原因，因此只有reason \原因\符合句意。result \结果\； consequence \后果\； content \内容\，均无此意。
83. A。解释是由医生提出来的，故此空缺处用过去分词做定语。contributed \贡献，捐献\；sought\寻找\，强调找的过程，不能表示结果。联系下文用于此处不当。thought \思考，想\，用于此处，意思表达欠妥。offered \提供，提出\，用于此处意思准确，结构正确，是正确答案。
84. D。 because of \因为、由于\； owing to \由于\，强调\原因和结果的关系\，把\
