(2024·宿迁中考改编)Su Shi, known as Su Dongpo, was a famous Chinese writer, poet and painter.
When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote many good articles. People thought 46 (high) of him. Because of this, he became very proud and wrote a couplet for 47 (he).
Knowing all the words in the world;
Reading all the books on the Earth.
A wise old man saw this couplet and thought, "It is necessary for Su Shi to learn how 48 (be) modest." So, one day, he came to Su Shi's house with a book.
The old man showed Su Shi the book and explained, "So far, I 49 (read) the book several times, but there are still some difficult words that I can't understand. I have asked many people, but none of them could understand their 50 (mean). I have heard that you are a person of rich knowledge, so I come to ask you."
Full of confidence, Su Shi took the book from the old 51 (man) hand, but when he opened it, he became very 52 (surprise) because there were many words he didn't know. At that moment, Su Shi realized that there were many more things that he had to learn.
Actually, the old man knew every word in this book. He just wanted to make Su Shi know the 53 (important) of being modest. Su Shi was embarrassed(尴尬的) and said, "Now I know why you came. I shouldn't have been so arrogant(自大的)."
The old man smiled and 54 (leave). Then Su Shi quickly took his brush and ink, and changed the couplet:
Working hard to know all the words in the world;
Being determined to read all the books on the Earth.
From then on, he worked even harder than before. Finally, Su Shi made great achievements in many fields, 55 (especial) in literature.

【分析】
我们可以逐个空分析解题思路：
1. 第46空：固定搭配“think highly of”表示“高度评价”，此处需要用副词highly来修饰动词thought，所以填highly。
2. 第47空：根据语境，苏轼为自己写对联，主语是he，反身代词himself表示“他自己”，符合语境。
3. 第48空：“疑问词+不定式”是固定结构，how to do sth.表示“如何做某事”，所以此处填to be。
4. 第49空：时间状语“So far”（到目前为止）是现在完成时的标志，现在完成时结构为have/has+过去分词，主语I对应的助动词是have，read的过去分词还是read，所以填have read。
5. 第50空：their是形容词性物主代词，后面需要接名词，mean的名词形式是meaning，结合前面的“some difficult words”，此处要用复数形式meanings。
6. 第51空：此处表示“老人的手”，需要用名词所有格来表示所属关系，man的所有格是man's。
7. 第52空：此处描述苏轼的感受，修饰人要用-ed形式的形容词surprised，surprising通常用来修饰事物。
8. 第53空：定冠词the后面需要接名词，important的名词形式是importance，“the importance of...”表示“……的重要性”，符合语境。
9. 第54空：and连接并列谓语，前面的smiled是一般过去式，所以leave也要用过去式left。
10. 第55空：此处需要用副词来修饰介词短语“in literature”，especial的副词形式是especially。
【解析】
46. highly
解析：固定短语think highly of意为“高度评价”，用副词highly修饰动词thought。
47. himself
解析：根据语境，苏轼为自己撰写对联，主语为he，反身代词himself表示“他自己”。
48. to be
解析：“how to be modest”是“疑问词+不定式”结构，在句中作learn的宾语，意为“如何谦虚”。
49. have read
解析：时间状语“So far”是现在完成时的标志，主语I对应的现在完成时结构为have+过去分词，read的过去分词为read，故填have read。
50. meanings
解析：形容词性物主代词their后接名词，mean的名词形式为meaning，结合语境中“some difficult words”，应用复数形式meanings。
51. man's
解析：此处表示所属关系“老人的手”，用名词所有格man's。
52. surprised
解析：修饰人的感受用-ed形式的形容词surprised，此处表示苏轼感到惊讶。
53. importance
解析：定冠词the后接名词，important的名词形式为importance，“the importance of being modest”表示“谦虚的重要性”。
54. left
解析：and连接并列谓语，smiled为一般过去式，故leave也用过去式left。
55. especially
解析：此处用副词especially修饰介词短语“in literature”，表示“尤其在文学方面”。
