“Your future depends on many things, but most on you.Yes, I can't agree more to this view.It's true that our future determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but their own attitude, determination, and hard work play a more important role.In other words, we are the masters of our own future.

Take Abraham Lincoln for an example.He was born in a poor family, which only received a limited education in his childhood.Yet through his painstaking efforts, he then changes not only his own fate but also the history of America.Even to this day, Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspired figures in the world.

However, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hand.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以Abraham Lincoln为例，说明我们的未来是掌握在自己手中的。

1.考查副词。修饰介词短语on you，用副词mostly，意为：大多数地，大部分地。故most改为mostly。

2.考查固定短语。句意：这个观点我再同意不过了。agree to后接建议、计划等，如suggestion, advice, plan；agree with表示同意某人或某人的意见、观点等，agree on在……上达成一致。故to改为with或on。

3.考查时态和语态。句意：我们的未来是由很多事情决定的。主语our future与谓语动词determine之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，全文是一般现在时。故determined前加is。

4.考查代词。根据上一句的our future 和下一句的we可知，应该是our own attitude, determination…故their改为our。

5.考查固定短语。固定短语take…for example, 意为：以……为例。故去掉an 。

6.考查定语从句。which received a limited education in his childhood是非限定性定语从句，先行词是He，指人，应用who引导定语从句。故which改为who。

7.考查时态。句意：通过他艰苦的努力，他不仅改变了自己的命运，也改变了美国的历史。这一段叙述的是Abraham Lincoln的故事, 根据前一句的一般过去时可知，这里应用一般过去时。故changes改为changed。

8.考查形容词。句意：即使到今天，林肯仍然被认为是世界上最励志的人物之一。inspired意为：受到鼓励的，inspiring意为：激励人的。故inspired改为inspiring。

9.考查副词。however 意为：然而，表示转折关系，此处是表示因果关系，应使用therefore或thus。故however改为Therefore或Thus。

10.考查名词。根据前面的代词our own, 可知hand应该用复数形式。故hand改为hands 。
