A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
He may have the 36 that he is not capable (有能力的) of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make 37 of his mental faculties(官能). Older people may be mistaken that they are incapable of 38 anything new because of their age.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real 39 , because he feels that it 40 be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence(信心) necessary for success, and he won’t work his hardest, even though he may 41 he is doing so. He is 42 likely to fail, and the failure will 43 his belief in his incompetence(无能).
Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had 44 like this. When he was a small boy, he had a poor 45 in maths. His teacher told his 46 he had no ability in maths in order that they would not 47 too much of him. In this way, they too 48 the idea. He accepted 49 mistaken thinking of his ability, felt that it was useless to 50 , and was very poor at maths, 51 as they expected.
One day he worked out a problem which 52 of the other students had been able to solve.
Adler succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He now 53 with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became especially good at 54 . He not only proved that he could learn maths well, but luckily he learned early in his life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may 55 himself as well as others by his ability. 36—40 ABBCA 41—45 BDBAC 46—50 DBADC 51—55 CABDA

(答案→)A 解析：本文讲述的是我小时候因为对数学学习缺乏信心，导致数学一直不好。后来一次偶然的机会发现自己的数学根本就不差，取得了信心，最后擅长数学。【小题1】A 名词辨析。A信念B方法C事实D条件；也许他会有这样的信念，也就是他自己没有能力。【小题2】B 固定词组，make full use of充分利用；因为他不知道如何充分利用自己的能力，所以认为自己愚蠢。【小题3】B 动词辨析。A教育B学会C接受D使用；老人们可以会认为自己年龄很大，不能再学习新鲜事物了。【小题4】C 名词辨析。A决定B成功C努力D麻烦；那些认为自己没有能力的会救不会做出真正的努力。【小题5】A 情态动词辨析。Would会；should应该；must一定，必须；could能够；他感觉这会是无用的。【小题6】B 动词辨析。A忘记B认为C猜想D理解；即使他认为自己努力了，但是实际上他并没有努力。【小题7】D 副词辨析。正是因为上文所说的原因，因此他很可能会失败。【小题8】B 动词辨析。A/D导致B加强C增加;不断的失败又会加强了他这样的想法，认为自己很满意能力。【小题9】A 上下文串联。根据下文描述数学老师认为他数学很差的这样的经历，说明A正确。【小题10】C 名词辨析。A状态B思维C开始D结尾；小时候在数学的时候他开始学得很不好。【小题11】D 考查常识。学生的成绩不好，老师应该是和家长交流。这位数学老师告诉孩子的家长这个孩子很差。【小题12】B 动词辨析。A责备B期待C得到D赢得；因为这个孩子数学很差，不要对他有过高的期望。【小题13】A 动词辨析。A形成B组织C发现D查明；父母和老师就形成了他数学很差的观点。【小题14】D 语法分析。这里的the表示特指上文提及的错误的看法—他的数学很差。【小题15】C 动词辨析。A设法B成功C尝试，努力D行动；他中也认为努力没有用，自己的数学真得很差。【小题16】C 副词辨析。A仅仅B几乎C恰好D那时；这一切恰如老师和父母所认为的那样。【小题17】C 句意分析。他做出了一道很多别的同学都无法做出的数学题。这让他信心大增。【小题18】B 动词辨析。A生活B工作，学习C玩耍D毕业；他带着兴趣，决心和目的在学习。【小题19】D 上下文串联。他现在对数学非常感兴趣，很有信心，最后变得很擅长数学了。【小题20】A 动词辨析。A鼓励B爱C使…惊讶D使…失望；他可以鼓励他自己和别人。
