Answer 1

分析 作者谈论了对成功的理解，一些人说初学者特别幸运，然而别人却相信成功伴随练习而来，事实上，我觉得这两个陈述不全是正确的，在某些方面每一种说法都对，但在其它方面则不正确．他讲述了许多年前参加画画比赛获奖的成功和失败的经历，多年前他去参加一次绘画比赛，令人惊讶地获了奖；他确实很幸运，因为那是他第一次参加参赛；考虑到他可能会再次走运，他试着又参加了几次绘画比赛，但是结果却是他再也没有获过奖．所以尽管他在刚开始时可能已经很幸运了，但是他还需要全身心地投入到艰苦的学习中去．通过这件事情，进而阐述了他自己的观点，成功靠的是练习，还有更少一点的幸运和机会．

解答 46．B．考查动词及语境理解．根据people say that beginners have all the luck，while others believe that success--only with practice．可知一些人说初学者特别幸运，然而别人却相信成功伴随练习而来．根据句意及逻辑推理可知此处有"到来"之意，故选comes，故选B．
47．D．考查连词及语境理解．根据Each is true in some ways--not in others．可知在某些方面每一种说法都对，但在其它方面则不正确．本句中前半句是肯定，后半句是否定，二者之间明显构成了转折关系．据此可知此处应选but．故选D．
48．A．考查动词及语境理解．根据For example，I went to a drawing competition many years ago and（48）--surprisingly．可知：例如，多年前我去参加一次绘画比赛，令人惊讶地…根据下句"As a prize，I got a film ticket to see"Titanic"．"可知这里应该是"我获了奖"．故选A．
49．C．考查形容词及语境理解．根据I was really--because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition，可知我确实很…，因为那是我第一次参加竞赛就获奖．再根据后半句"Thinking that I might be lucky again，"可知，此处应用"幸运"一词．故选C．
50．A．考查动词及语境理解．根据Thinking that I might be lucky again，I--joining in other art competitions，可知考虑到我可能会再次走运，我…又参加了一次美术比赛．根据句意及逻辑推理可知，本题应选A，tried尝试．try doing sth尝试做某事．故选A．
51．D．考查副词及语境理解．根据But the result was that I--won again．可知这里的意思但是表转折，却是我再也…获过奖．与前面获奖形成鲜明的对比，这说明"我没有再获奖"，故此处应是表否定的句子用never．故选D．
52．A．考查形容词及语境理解．根据I accepted the fact that the other people had a--artistic ability than I did．联系前文我没有再获过奖的事实，可知此句应是指我接受了别人比自己更有艺术能力的事实；这里空格后面有than一词，说明此处是表比较的句子．故此处应用形容词的比较级形式．根据前句"但是结果却是我再也没有获过奖"可知，"在艺术能力方面别人比我强"．故选A．
53．D．考查名词及语境理解．根据So，the--I produced were not of a very high standard．可知这里的意思是因此，我创作的…并不是高水平的作品．根据第2段第1句"For example，I went to a drawing competition many years ago"可知：作者是以自己参加绘画比赛的事情为例的．所以此处是指的绘画作品．故选D．
54．C．考查介词短语及语境理解．根据Though I might have been lucky--，I also need to put in hard work．可知尽管我…可能已经很幸运了，但是我还需要全身心地投入到艰苦的创作中去． 根据短文内容可知，作者在刚开始时很幸运地获了奖，但随后却没有获过奖，故此处应用"开始"一词at first．故选C．
55．B．考查名词及语境理解．根据As we know，--makes perfect．可知句意为众所周知，…chance机会；practice练习；实践difference  不同；experience经验；经历；practice makes perfect意为"熟能生巧"，是固定谚语．故选B．
