Ⅳ. 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）
Recently, I signed up for a ski group class. I said to the woman who turned out to be my instructor. “I’ve _41_ many times before. Am I an intermediate（中等生）?” During the _42_, I was surprised she wasn’t more impressed by the ski performance of me!
When I reached the top of the chairlift, I felt my heart start to _43_. That’s when the _44_ held on to me. It released about 30 minutes later, when I was back at the base, having slowly _45_ sideways. A snowboarder stopped to ask if I was okay, and I wasn’t _46_. “I shouldn’t be on this trail,” I said, accurately.
How did I get so much _47_ at skiing? It turns out that simply having skied “many times before” didn’t mean I was getting better at it. _48_, like many athletes, musicians, or just humans, I may have been getting weaker over time.
Getting better, or learning, requires changing between different types of related tasks, rather than _49_ the same thing. With skiing, “rather than just doing that same trail over and over again, you’d better go to the hill for _50_, then go to another hill that was icy,” my friend _51_.
Sometimes it seems like we’re losing ground, but we’re _52_ unlocking a new skill. This means that when you’re trying to _53_ a new hobby, or a new role at your job or in _54_, there are going to be moments that look like failure. But under the surface, you’re _55_ and making progress.

答案： 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在滑雪时意识到反复练习同样的事情并不会让你变得更好。相反，学习需要在相关任务之间切换。作者了解到失败是成长的机会，因此在学习新事物时应该接受失败。
41. B 根据下文的“It turns out that simply having skied ‘many times before’ didn’t mean I was getting better at it.”提到以前滑过很多次，由此可知，此处应表示作者之前练习过很多次。故选B。
42. C 根据上文的“I signed up for a ski group class...”提到作者报名参加了一个滑雪团体课程，由此可知，此处应表示在课上，作者很惊讶教练对自己的滑雪表现没有更深刻的印象！故选C。
43. A 根据上文的“When I reached the top of the chairlift...”和下文“A snowboarder stopped to ask if I was okay...”可知，此处应表示作者到达缆车的顶端时，感到心跳厉害。故选A。
44. B 根据上文提到的作者感到心跳厉害，由此可知，此处应表示恐笼罩着作者。故选B。
45. A 根据上文的“It released about 30 minutes later，when I was back at the base...”以及下文“sideways”可知，此处应表示大约30分钟后，当作者回基地时，缆车慢慢地向一边移动。故选A。
46. D 根据下文的“‘I shouldn’t be on this trail，’I said，accurately.”以及语境可知，此处应表示作者表示不确定是否在正确的路线上。故选D。
47. C 根据下文的“It turns out that simply having skied ‘many times before’ didn’t mean I was getting better at it.”可知，此处应表示作者对自己的滑雪变得这么差感到疑问。故选C。
48. D 根据上文提到的仅仅“以前滑过很多次”并不意味着作者在滑雪方面做得更好，以及下文的“I may have been getting weaker over time”可知，此处应表示相反，就像许多运动员、音乐家，或者只是人类一样，随着时间的推移，作者可能会变得越来越弱。故选D。
49. B 根据上文的“Getting better，or learning，requires changing between different types of related tasks...”可知，此处应表示想要变得更好，或者学习，需要在不同类型的相关任务之间进行改变，而不是重复相同的事情。故选B。
50. A 根据上文分析以及下文的“then go to another hill that was icy”可知，作者滑雪水平变得越来越弱，此处应表示与其一遍又一遍地走同一条路线，不如先去适合初学者的那座山。故选A。
51. C 根据上文的“With skiing，‘rather than just doing that same trail over and over again，you’d better go to the hill for 50 ，then go to another hill that was icy，’”可知，此处应表示朋友建议作者的做法。故选C。
52. D 根据上文的“Sometimes it seems like we’re losing ground...”提到有时候看起来我们正在失去优势，由此可知，此处应表示但实际上我们正在解锁一项新技能。故选D。
53. D 根据下文的“a new hobby，or a new role”可知，此处应表示培养一个新的爱好或者一个新的角色。故选D。
54. B 根据语境常识以及上文的“at your job”可知，此处应表示在你的工作或生活中扮演一个新的角色。故选B。
