【分析】

这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述作者从小酷爱滑冰，决定沿着这条路走下去。但一次意外让作者失去了重返赛场的能力，作者不得不重新思考自己的人生，开始把精力投入当地的社区服务。终于走出了阴影，重新建立了信心，再次找到了人生的方向。

1 ．句意：从年轻的时候起，我就强烈地意识到自己要成为什么样的人，但是一场意外让我重新定义了自己。

and 和； but 但是； or 或者； so 所以。 “I had a strong sense of who I was to become” 及 “an accident” 前后有转折关系，所以这里用连词 but 。故选 B 。

2 ．句意：这个世界上没有什么东西能让我那么满心欢喜。

everything 每件事； something 某事； nothing 没事； anything 任何事。根据前文 “skating was above all” 可知作者对这项运动极度热爱，所以世界上没有什么东西可以带给作者那样的快乐了。用表示否定意义的 nothing 。故选 C 。

3 ．句意：我每周花二十四小时练习我的技巧。

skills 技巧； feelings 感受； thoughts 想法； habits 习惯。根据 “I spent twenty-four hours a week practicing” 因为热爱这项运动，便会花费大量时间用于练习对应的运动技能，用复数名词 skills 。故选 A 。

4 ．句意：它给我带来了几乎所有比赛的第一名奖牌。

meeting 会议； exam 考试； concert 音乐会； competition 比赛。根据 “It brought me first place medals” 可知此处指滑冰给我带来了比赛中的第一名奖牌。故选 D 。

5 ．句意：经过几次检查，医生告诉我，我不能再回到我的运动。

waiter 服务员； doctor 医生； teacher 老师； driver 司机。根据 “I couldn’t return to my sport any more” 可知受伤后医生告诉我不能再滑冰。故选 B 。

6 ．句意：因为我的激情被带走了，所以我对于自己将会成为什么人几乎没有感觉了。

found out 找出，查明； brought back 带回去； written down 写下； taken away 带走。 “as” 表达原因，表达这次伤痛剥夺了我的激情，所以才会导致了我失去了方向，用动词短语 take away 。故选 D 。

7 ．句意：在八个月的痛苦之后，有些东西不得不改变了。

change 改变； remain 保留； leave 离开； arrive 到达。根据后文 “local community service projects” 讲述我不再浪费时间了而是去参加社区服务项目，说明一些事情发生了改变，用动词 change 。故选 A 。

8 ．句意：做一名游泳老师和儿童暑期阅读助理的志愿者。

to 朝，向； as 作为； in 在 …… 里面； at 在（某处）。根据 “a swimming teacher and summer reading helper for kids” 可知，是做一名游泳老师和儿童暑期阅读助理的志愿者工作，用介词 as 表示 “ 作为 ” 。故选 B 。

9 ．句意：逐渐地，我走出了阴影，重建了我的自信。

ran 跑； sang 唱歌； stood 站立； stepped 跨步。根据 “out of the shadow and rebuilt my confidence” 可知，表达一点一点走出了过去的阴影，用动词短语 step out of 。故选 D 。

1 0 ．句意：我的意外是一块无法阻止我走向成功的岩石。

who 先行词指人，且在从句中作主语； what 不引导定语从句； that 先行词指人或物，且在从句中作主语、宾语或表语； whom 先行词指人，且在从句中作宾语。题干中是定语从句修饰先行词 “a rock” ，指物，且在从句中作主语，用 that 引导定语从句。故选 C 。
