opportunity.(每个问题的背后都蕴藏着机会)”用类比句，说明我们可以通过解决问题进行学习，与后文“Beinggratefulforoursituation,evenifwedon’tlikeeverythingaboutit,allowsustobethankfulforopportunitytolearnsomethingnew.(对我们的处境心存感激，即使我们并不喜欢它的一切，也会让我们对学习新东西的机会心存感激)”表示“我们应对于艰难的处境进行感恩”语境一致。故选C项。第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An18-year-oldnamedVanessaMacedoinCaliforniaknewhowhardherdadworkedtotakecareofherandherbrothersandsisters.Herfatherhadbeen____21____injuredandwasnowsellingfruittosupporthis____22____.Asprom(高中毕业舞会),whichisabig____23____forbothteensandtheirparents,was____24____,shedidn’twanttoaskhimforanything.Sheaskedherbrotherforhelpinbuyingherdresssothatherdaddidn’tfeel____25____.Still,thefatherknewpromwasapproaching.____26____,promwasonaweekend,andthathappenedtobethe____27____timeatthefruitstand.Soheunwillingly____28____thefactthathecouldonlyseeMacedodressedupandlookingbeautifulinthephotoslateron.Secretly,Macedoknewhow____29____herdadwastoseeher,soshe_____30_____aplan.Aftergettingdressedupforthebignight,shewent25milesoutofherwayto_____31_____himatthestandandsurprisedhimwithatouching_____32_____.“Mydadhasalwaysbeen_____33_____andI’mblessedtohaveadadlikehim,”shesaid.Macedocouldeasilyhavenot_____34_____thatherfatherhadtowork.Instead,shewentoutofherwaytocreateaspecial_____35_____thatsheandherfatherwillprobablytreasurefortherestoftheirlives.21.A.previously
