I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you __(41)__ the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm __(42)__ that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work __(43)__ it is for your lovers. Your work is going to __(44)__ a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do __(45)__ you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

Cconvinced正確答案
Dappointed
答案與詳解
C
正確答案
空格42填入 convinced(確信),表達說話者深信支撐自己繼續前進的唯一原因是熱愛所做的事。
為什麼答案是 C
convinced(確信的)完全符合。短文強調 'the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did',be convinced that... 表達「深信……」,與後文 'You've got to find what you love' 的呼籲語氣一致,是最佳答案。
空格後接 that 子句表達「堅定信念」,只有 convinced 能與 that 子句搭配表「確信/深信」,其餘選項語意不符或搭配錯誤。
逐選項分析
A✕ 陷阱
confused(困惑的)語意不符。短文中說話者是在表達支撐自己度過困境的信念,而非感到困惑。且 be confused that... 並非自然用法。
B✕
annoyed(惱怒的)語意不符。短文語境是說話者克服被 Apple 解雇的逆境後反思,表達的是信念與熱情,而非憤怒情緒。
C✓ 正確
convinced(確信的)完全符合。短文強調 'the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did',be convinced that... 表達「深信……」,與後文 'You've got to find what you love' 的呼籲語氣一致,是最佳答案。
D✕
appointed(被任命的)語意完全不符。短文討論的是說話者被解雇後的心路歷程,並無任命相關的語境,且 be appointed that... 並非正確搭配。

陷阱提醒
選項A的 confused 是常見陷阱:考生可能因短文提到被解雇的「困境」而聯想到困惑感,誤選 confused。但關鍵在於空格後接 that 子句,且短文語氣是說話者「回頭確信」支撐自己的力量,必須用表達「信念/確信」的形容詞,而非情緒性形容詞。
