B.expect C.admit D.prove【答案】C【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。conclude推断；expect期望；admit牵强承认；prove证明。依据wearemorefragile可知，此处是指人类比我们所情愿承认的更脆弱，故选C。17.A.breaking B.wounding C.interrupting D.affecting【答案】A【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。breaking破坏，挫伤；wounding损害；interrupting打断；affecting影响。由空前的beingbroken和空后的others可知，此处应填breaking。此处论述了我们每天都面临着被挫伤或挫伤别人。18.A.finished B.experienced C.shared D.changed【答案】B【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。finished完成；experienced经受；shared共享；changed转变。由下文的论述可知，此处指我们在生活中都“经受”过某种形式的挫折，我们也知道其他人患病过的挫折。19.A.inconveniently B.slowly C.dangerously D.temporarily【答案】D【解析】考查副词及语境理解的力气。inconveniently不便利的；slowly慢地；dangerously危急地；temporarily临时地。由上句中的ablessingindisguise和空后的thelong-term可知，对于有些人来说，遇到挫折就像塞翁失马，焉知非福，因此脆弱只是临时的，故选D。20.A.richer B.busier C.calmer D.better【答案】D【解析】考查形容词及语境理解的力气。richer更丰富的；busier更忙的；calmer更安静的；better更好的。实力增加自然会使他们成为更加优秀的人，故选D。21.A.survive B.withdraw C.suffer D.stop【答案】B【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。survive存活；withdraw收回，退出，撤退；suffer患病；stop停止。由空前的takesthemdownhard和空后的self-destructive推断，这里说明的是那些无法承受打击的人的状况。由此推断，他们遇到打击后会一蹶不振，渐渐脱离社会。22.A.road B.signal C.idea D.direction【答案】A【解析】考查名词及语境理解的力气。road道路；signal信号；idea想法；direction方向，指导。由空后的backtowholeness推断，此处应用road，表示由残缺恢复到完满之“路”，故选A。23.A.insist B.turn C.look D.depends【答案】D【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。insist坚持；turn转动；look看；dependson依靠，取决于。前面说到，恢复的过程可能是乐观的也可能是消极的，可能是苦痛的，也可能是幸福的，可能是健康的也可能是不健康的。由此作者提出问题：那么这是否意味着从挫折中恢复过来的方法取决于我们遇到的挫折的类型呢？24.A.accepted B.faced C.predicted D.remembered【答案】B【解析】考查动词及语境理解的力气。accepted接受；faced面临，面对；predicted猜想；remembered记住。由于曼德拉一生坎坷，他确定在某个时候患病过某种形式的挫折，所以才会以他为例。25.A.whole B.political C.clever D.healthy【答案】A【解析】考查形容词及语境理解的力气。whole完满的，整个的；political政治的；clev
