Once there was a very brilliant, creative and educated man. He gained much 36 while traveling throughout the world. 37 , he lost his legs and left arm in a tragic accident, leaving only a finger and thumb on his right hand. He became so depressed(沮丧的）that he was afraid he would spend his life 38 and would no longer be able to use his life in a(n) 39 way.
One day, he remembered how he had always loved getting 40 . He realized that he still had partial 41 of his right hand and could write with 42 . Then, he had an idea. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”
He 43 where he could find those who could be encouraged if they read his letters. He thought of people in 44 . Many of them had hope of regaining their 45 . Others would keep feeling depressed and remain put away for the rest of their lives. He decided that he must try to 46 them. So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be 47 . However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.
48 with the intention, the man began sending 49 messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul 50 his words, 51 his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any 52 . Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone 53 read his letters. However, this was his 54 chance，so he determined to continue.
At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to 55 !”
We all have unique experiences, abilities and talents. We can discover ways to reach others in need of encouragement and strength.

(答案→)C 解析：这是一个感人的故事：曾经有一名男子，他非常聪明、富有创造力而且有教养，但不幸的是，在一次事故中，他失去了双腿和左臂。他的人生将何去何从？是悲观失望，还是坚强面对？最后他选择了给犯人写信，以此给他们希望和鼓励。【小题1】C 考查名词。从上下文可知，他通过环球旅行，获得了很多经验(experience)，同时从第四段中的提示也可知答案。wealth“财富”；faith“信念”；confidence“自信”，都与语境不符。【小题2】A考查副词。unfortunately不幸的是。【小题3】B考查动词。他很担心他的人生一直都会承受这种痛苦(suffering)。【小题4】D考查形容词。 从上文提示可知，他担心自己再也不能过有意义的生活了。abnormal“不正常的”；regular“有规律的”；comfortable“使人舒服的”； meaningful“有意义的”。根据语境选D项。【小题5】C考查名词。从下文可知，他记得自己曾经非常喜欢收到信件(letters)，所以他决定给需要鼓励的人写信。【小题6】D考查名词。根据上下文可知，他意识到他的右手还有部分的功能(function)，还能够费劲地(with difficulty)写点什么。其他选项都不符合语境。【小题7】C考查名词。 参见第41题解析。【小题8】D考查动词。上文提到他决定给需要鼓励的人写信，这里指他想(wonder)到哪里找这些需要鼓励的人。estimate“估计”；doubt“怀疑”；assume“假设”，都与语境不符。【小题9】C考查名词。从下文提示可知，答案选prisons(监狱)。【小题10】C考查名词。根据常识判断，对于监狱中的犯人来说，他们希望重新获得freedom(自由)。【小题11】B考查动词短语。为了他的计划，他觉得他必须得让犯人们收到他的信件，所以用get in touch with (联系)。【小题12】A考查形容词。根据上下文可知，监狱官回信说写信给犯人是可以的、可接受的(acceptable)，但让犯人回信是违反监狱的规定的。reasonable“合理的”；prohibited“被禁止的”；considered“经过仔细考虑的”，均与语境不符。【小题13】B考查动词。有了这样的打算后，他开始给犯人写信，filled with表示“有了，充满”，根据语境可知选B项。【小题14】C考查形容词。从上文可知，犯人可以接收信件，但不允许回信，所以说是one­way(单程的)。【小题15】D考查介词。pour one's heart and soul into sth. 意为：全神贯注于……。【小题16】A考查动词。 他全身心地投入到写信当中，与犯人分享(share)自己的人生经验……【小题17】B考查名词。 对他来说，写这些信是很困难的，特别是在没有任何回信(reply)的情况下。【小题18】D考查副词。他经常会感到很失落，有时候会想，实际上(actually)是否有人会读他的信。curiously“好奇地”；patiently“耐心地”；carefully“仔细地”，都与语境不符。【小题19】A考查形容词。但对他来说，这是他唯一的(only)希望，所以他决定继续写下去。【小题20】B考查名词。实际上，他的信很受犯人的欢迎，他的信件在牢房之间被传递，由于纸张薄，以至于到最后信都快成碎片了(fall to pieces)。
