参考答案：解析：36.B

cometo意为“开始被……所认识;被……所记起”,表示随着我们年龄的增加,我们开始认识到这些挑战正是把我们塑造，并使我们成了现在的样子的事。seemto意为“似乎”；hopeto意为“希望”；tryto意为“试图”。37.D

shape意为“定形,使成形,塑造”。that引导定语从句,指代先行词theverythings,表示正是把我们塑造，并使我们成了现在的样子的事。design意为“设计,计划,谋划,构思”；promote意为“促进,发扬,提升,提拔,晋升为”；direct意为“指引,指示,指挥,命令,导演”。38.C

friendship意为“友谊,友好”。根据最后一段的“Indealingwiththemanychallengesthatfriendshipwillbringtoyou”可判断出友谊也是这样。confidence意为“信心”；pressure意为“压,压力,压迫,强制,紧迫”；difficulty意为“困难,难点”。39.C

choice意为“选择,抉择”。根据下文中的“Wecantrytobeatitoff,orwecandecidethatthethingdemandingthechallengeisn’tworththetroubleandcallitquits.”可判断出当我们面对挑战时有两种选择。opportunity意为“机会,时机”；expectation意为“期待,预料,指望,展望”；aspect意为“样子,外表,面貌,(问题等的)方面”。40.D

demand意为“要求,需要”,表示需要挑战的事。deserve意为“应受,值得”；predict意为“预知,预言,预报”；present意为“介绍,引见,给,赠送,上演,提出,呈现”。41.C

time意为“次数”。time作可数名词表示“次数”。span意为“跨度,跨距,范围”；date意为“日期,日子,(历史上某一)年代,时期”；age意为“年龄,成年,使用年限,同时期的人,时代”。43.A

case意为“情况”。表示“在大多数情况下”。field意为“原野,旷野,领域,(一块)田地,牧场,域,战场,运动场”；part意为“部分,局部,零件,角色”；occasion意为“场合,时机,机会”。44.B

commitment意为“(受)约束,承担义务”。表示“一切所需要的是受到约束”。assessment意为“估价,被估定的金额”；encouragement意为“鼓励,奖励”；adjustment意为“调整,调节”。45.D

painful意为“疼痛的,使痛苦的”。根据下文中的howuncomfortable可判断出当我们受到某事的约束时,这就意味着无论多么痛苦,多么不舒服,我们都要面对它,并把它解决,而不是躲避。doubtful意为“可疑的,不确的,疑心的”；shameful意为“不体面的”；harmful意为“有害的,伤害的”。46.C

space意为“空间,间隔,距离”；表示“交流提供了讨论的空间”。plan意为“计划,设计图,平面图”；topic意为“话题,主题”；room意为“房间,空间”,在空间解时,是不可数名词,不与不定冠词连用,所以是错误的。48.A

if意为“如果”,引导条件状语从句。表示如果你不能对朋友说“我的感情受到了伤害”。as意为“当……的时候”;while意为“当……的时候”;unless意为“如果不,除非”。49.B

ratherthan意为“宁可……也不愿”。表示宁愿说“我的感情受到了伤害”。而不说“你伤害了我的感情”。otherthan意为“不同于,除了”；orrather意为“确切地说,说得更准确些”；orelse意为“否则”。50.A

what引导被宾语从句,作介词for的宾语。what在从句中作are的表语。因为指的是什么样的人,所以要用what而不用who。51.C
