Seventeen years ago, when I was in military college, I was known as “the worrying wreck from Virginia Tech”. I worried so ____1_____ that I often became ill. In _____2_____, I poured out my troubles to Professor Baird, professor of business administration. The fifteen minutes that I spent with Professor Baird did more for my health and happiness than all the rest of the four years I spent in college. “Jim,” he said, “you ought to sit down and face the facts. If you _____3_____ half as much time and energy to solving your problems as you do to worrying about them, you wouldn’t have any worries. ”

I figured that I had failed physics because I had no interest in the subject. But now I changed my attitude. I said to myself, “If the college _____4_____ demand that I pass my physics examination before I obtain a degree, who am I to question their wisdom?”

So I ______5____   for physics again. This time I passed because instead of wasting my time in worrying about how hard it was, I studied _____6_____.

I solved my ____7_____ worries by taking on some additional jobs, such as selling punch at the college dances, and by borrowing money from my father, which I paid back soon after ____8______.

As I look back at it now, I can see that my problem was one of _____9_____, a lack of willingness to find the causes of my worry and face them realistically.

【解析】

試題分析：

 Violently 副詞嚴(yán)重的，這里指我很擔(dān)心，以至于我經(jīng)常生病。

 conclusion 固定詞組in conclusion總之。

 devoted   固定詞組devote…to…把…用于…

 authorities 名詞官方，如果大學(xué)的官方要求我通過(guò)物理考試。

 enrolled  動(dòng)詞enroll入學(xué)。指我重新開始學(xué)習(xí)物理。

  diligently 副詞勤奮地；指這次我學(xué)的很努力很勤奮。

 financial 形容詞財(cái)政上的，下文講我參加了很多的工作來(lái)掙錢。

  graduation 指在畢業(yè)以后我很快就還了所借的錢。

 confusion 名詞困惑，我的問(wèn)題也是困惑的事情之一。

考點(diǎn)：考查學(xué)生在上下文語(yǔ)境中對(duì)詞匯語(yǔ)法的掌握情況

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題考查較為細(xì)致，要求考生要特別耐心答題中注意文中的一些常用句型，固定短語(yǔ)的應(yīng)用。任何從全文的角度細(xì)讀短文，看看填完過(guò)后的短文是否語(yǔ)意通順，符合邏輯。
