【分析】
拿到这类短文填空题目，首先第一步先通读全文，理清文章主旨是介绍帮助人们追逐梦想的三条实用建议，整体理解行文逻辑。之后逐空拆分解题：对于给出提示词的空，先分析句子结构判断空缺处需要的词性，再结合对应的语法规则完成变形，比如名词单复数、副词修饰动词、人称代词宾格、时态变化等；对于没有给出提示词的空，结合上下文的语义逻辑，判断需要填入的介词、连词、冠词等虚词，保证搭配和语义都通顺。
【解析】
30. 本空需要作句子主语，提示词suggest是动词，要变为名词suggestion，后文一共列出3条建议，需要用复数形式，因此填suggestions。
31. 本空用于修饰动词eating，形容词healthy要变为副词形式才能修饰动作，因此填healthily。
32. 本空放在动词help后面作宾语，主格人称代词we要变为宾格形式，因此填us。
33. 本空无提示词，结合后文“人生中我们都必须冒险”的语义，可知成功不可能脱离风险到来，填入表示“没有”的介词without。
34. 本空和后句的are dreaming of时态保持一致，用现在进行时描述当下正在发生的状态，主语是you，因此填are working。
35. 本空放在介词of之后，动词要变为动名词形式作介词宾语，因此填giving。
36. 本空无提示词，前半句“你再也无法忍受这份工作”是原因，后半句“你没做好计划就辞职”是结果，因果关系用并列连词so连接。
37. 本题考查固定结构one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数，表示“最……之一”，因此great要变为最高级，前面加定冠词the，填the greatest。
38. 本句描述爱迪生过去的人生经历，要用一般过去时，动词fail变为过去式failed。
39. 本空特指爱迪生所发明的那支电笔，要用定冠词the限定特指对象，因此填the。
【答案】

词汇拓展 Can you guess the part of speech and meaning of the underlined words in the
passage(s) above?
40. criticise: 41. confusion:

40. v. 批评 41. n. 疑惑

【分析】
这道题考查英语派生词的词性判断与词义推导，解题思路非常清晰：第一步先回忆已掌握的基础词根和常见构词词缀的规则，先看40题的criticise，已知基础名词critic的含义是“评论家”，后缀-ise是非常典型的动词后缀，代表和词根相关的动作，就能直接推导出它的词性和含义；第二步看41题的confusion，已知基础动词confuse的含义是“使困惑”，后缀-tion是标准的名词后缀，代表动作对应的状态，就可以顺利推导出它的词性和词义。
【解析】
40. 拆分单词结构：词根为基础名词critic（评论家），后缀-ise是动词性后缀，因此该单词的词性为动词，对应含义为“批评”。
41. 拆分单词结构：词根为基础动词confuse（使困惑），后缀-tion是名词性后缀，因此该单词的词性为名词，对应含义为“疑惑”。
【答案】
40. v. 批评 41. n. 疑惑
【知识点】
1. 常见词缀辨析
2. 生词词义推断
【点评】
本题属于基础词汇拓展题型，核心考察学生对常见构词词缀属性的掌握程度，依托已学的简单词根就可以完成推导，是帮助学生掌握构词规律、快速扩充词汇量的典型练习，仅需要注意不要混淆不同后缀对应的词性即可。
