解析:

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励和信任下怎样成功的。

36.unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking和encouraging and inspiring之间构成转折关系，故用yet。

37. 由下一句可知她想询问我的意见如何去处理事情。

38. handle things意为“处理，解决问题”，根据I knew nothing about stage design可知她想知道我应该怎样处理舞台设计的问题。

39. 根据no idea 可知作者对于舞台设计一无所知。

40. 由上文ask me for ...和She wanted to know...可知对于她的问题“我”渐渐做出了反应。

41. 上文提到作者对舞台设计没有什么想法，但由于Mrs. Neidl认为作者有自己的主见看法，所以作者开始形成自己的想法。Hold opinions意为“持有……的观点”，follow opinions 意为“遵循观点”，evaluate opinions意为“对观点加以评估”。

42. 根据She believed in me可知，reliable与believe in 相呼应。

43. A意为“信息”；B意为“座右铭，箴言”；C意为“谚语”；D意为“建议”。We can always paint over it 44_  这是Mrs. Neidl信奉的，故选B。

44. 根据常识可知事情起先都不是一帆风顺的，最终后来都会成功的。

45. take steps意为“采取措施”；B意为“控制“；C意为”负责，掌管“；D take risks意为“冒风险”。Take risks 和下文最后一段take chances相呼应。

46.根据there was no failing可知只有事情需要不断地得到提高。

47. 根据下文第一句话可知作者那年成功了，由此说明他很有自信地去创作。

48. 由上一句...achieved success that year可知因“我”在节目中投入的时间和精力而最终被大家所认可。A意为“介绍”；B意为“认可；认出，识别”；C意为“认出，识别”；D意为“认为；考虑”。

49. A“确认”；B“决定”；C“意识到”；D“承认”。作者经历了由过去的害怕失败到最终成功，所以意识到自己有从事舞台设计的潜力。

50. with表示原因“因为，由于”。

51. AD和interest 搭配意为“培养兴趣”，不能和a world搭配，故排除；take an interest意为“对...感兴趣”，也不可和world 搭配；discover指“发现原先就存在的东西，只是不为人发现而已”，根据I hadn’t known 可知A正确。

52. “我”曾经如此害怕失败，关键还是在于太在乎别人的想法，care意为“在乎，关心，在意”。

53. 由上文I had been so afraid of... 可知她教会“我”学会冒险尝试，不要害怕。

54. 由第二段She believed in me 和She trusted me...可知。

55.由上文可知“我”那年最终成功了，而之所以成功在于她的信任激励“我”去做一些过去认为不可能做到的事情。故possible“可能的”，符合题意。A项“可接近的”；B项“有趣的，愉快的”；D项“有利的，良好的，赞成的”。
