At four I was diagnosed with PDD, a type of autism (自闭症). A year later doctors told my parents that I would
31
graduate from high school and I would never
32
athlete — everyone in my family did sports when they studied in college. They said I would have no
33
of graduating from college. And the last thing was that whenever I was done with school I was going to be
34
into a group home with other autistic children for the rest of my life.
I was told this
35
on my first day of high school, which became my motivation to
36
they were wrong. I worked hard at
37
, my social life and my school. And I had a lot of
38
from my close friends, my community and my family because as a kid I had to
39
bullying and being made fun of.
I graduated from a high school on time and I
40
a full-ride scholarship to Grand Valley State University for basketball. Things didn’t
41
there because some of my coaches didn’t understand me,
42
I decided to transfer(转移)to another place where I always dreamed of playing, and that was
43
coach Tom and his basketball program in Michigan. I worked harder than before and I won two Big Ten Championships, a Big Ten Tournament title and a Final Four.
44
these, I got my college degree in hand contrary to all
45
. So far I think it is the
46
moment of my life and always will be.
Today I am a motivational
47
going around the country and telling my story of hope,
48
, as well as doing anti-bullying campaigns. My slogan is" Let Yourself Dash" because what I want to tell people is never to
49
and to know that there's hope whatever step they
50
and wherever they are.

完形填空五大高效解题步骤
第13讲
五大高效解题步骤
1. 细读首句,预测主题
“完形填空”所选短文第一句往往是全文的关键句或是主题句。它是文章的“窗口”,通过它,可以大致了解全文的概貌与作者的立意。所以,细读首句,重视首句,正确理解首句是解题的关键,是正确预测的基础。要细心阅读,客观分析,理性思索,以期挖掘出更多的有用的潜在信息,为后面的解题打下坚实的基础。
2. 跳读全文,领会大意
要学会跳读技巧。借助首尾句所给启示,捕捉文中关键词的词义信息,跳过空格,快速把短文从头到尾通读一遍,大概了解文章的体裁、背景、内容、结构、情节发展、前因后果、论点论据等,进一步从整体上理解短文大意。同时对空格估计填什么词可作试探性的猜测,为下一步选择答案做好准备。切忌急于求成,看一句填一空。若一开始就忙于填空,势必无法掌握文章中心,造成顾此失彼,错误百出的不良结果。
3. 通读全文,试选答案
根据大意,以全文为背景,以上下文为依托,选取语法上正确,文义上贴近的词语填入,初步完成空格。试填选项时,一定要注意在语境理解上下工夫,要抓住上下文的内容联系和逻辑关系,进行多角度、全方位分析。可先读所要填词的句子,复读上一句,兼顾下一句,即“瞻前顾后”。在阅读全文时,不要忽略连接词、代词、插入语、转折语等的作用。因为这些词往往是改变语境的关键词,具有因果、让步、递进、转折、指代、列举、承上启下的特殊功能。
4. 细读全文,推敲难题
有些空格在初步完形时就可以定局,可部分空格答案还不明朗。做到这一步,我们将短文中被挖去的词“复位”了一些,对语境的了解更清晰,更准确了。我们要充分利用这一有利条件,联系上下文,根据常识,运用逻辑推理,结合语境和已选答案所提供的信息,对候选项再次进行仔细推敲,缜密考虑,选出最佳答案。
5. 复读全文,调整答案
在完形空格后,要把全文再浏览一遍,仔细检查一下你选的答案是否能使文意上下连贯、前后照应,逻辑顺畅,能否自然地融入语篇。既要检查语境、语法、惯用法的正确性,也要考虑内容和逻辑的合理性。对感觉有问题的地方,要仔细揣摩,准确定夺。

17
according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep
18
on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of

of his success forever.
