38、 important communication really was.It made me want to challenge 10_(I)and really learn Spanish.myself答案及解析：【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者小时候讨厌学语言，但当他接触到一群不能讲话，却又对交流充满热情的孩子后，他认识到了交流的重要性，并且决定真正学西班牙语。1graduation 考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词，其后应接名词，graduate的名词形式是graduation，不可数。故填 graduation。2that 考查强调句。分析句子结构可知，此处考查not until的强调
39、句型：it was not untilthat直到才，故此处填that。3a 考查冠词。结合句意“我考虑学一门第二语言”，表“再一”是a序数词，故填a。4gradually 考查副词。用副词修饰动词realize，故填 gradually。5to express 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们中有些人用肢体语言或动作来表达自己。分析句子可知，此处是非谓语动词，再结合句意可知是表目的，故用不定式，故填to express。6on/upon 考查介词。此处考查短语depend on/upon取决于/依赖，故填on/upon。7having 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处是非谓语动词，逻辑主语the
40、y和have之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语，故填having。8that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是定语从句，先行词likes and dislikes,desires and fears指物，且在从句中充当宾语，故用关系代词，故填that/which。9were 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知，此处是句子的谓语动词，根据had been making判断为一般过去时，here位于句首时是完全倒装，即here谓语主语，故本句的主语是a group of disabled children，所以谓语动词用 were。故填were。10myself 考查反身代词。句意：它让我想挑战自己并且真正地学西班牙语。此处是作challenge的宾语，再结合句意 “我想挑战自己”，故用反身代词，故填myself。
