    • “accomplish”有“完成、实现”的意思，“accomplish something”表示“完成某事”，符合此处语境。
  2. 第32题：
    • 这里需要一个形容词来修饰“point”，且根据后文“you must have the will to achieve success”可知，强调的是首要的要点。
    • “premier”意为“首要的、最重要的”，“the premier point”即“首要的要点”，符合要求。
  3. 第33题：
    • “make an endeavor to do sth.”是固定搭配，表示“努力做某事”。
    • 句子说很多人只是说想要某物，但不做任何……去实现它，“endeavor”（努力）符合语境。
  4. 第34题：
    • 根据“making the objective appear impossible to reach”可知，人们往往会把困难夸大。
    • “overstate”意为“夸大、言过其实”，“overstate every minute difficulty”表示“夸大每一个微小的困难”，符合逻辑。
  5. 第35题：
    • 此处需要一个与“focused”（专注的）并列的形容词，来描述意志的特点。
    • “committed”有“坚定的、忠诚的”意思，“a committed and focused will”表示“坚定而专注的意志”，符合文意。

  7. 第37题：
    • “inflict...upon...”是固定短语，表示“把……强加于……”。
    • 这里说他们超越了强加于他们的明显具有挑战性的困难，“inflicted”符合要求。
  8. 第38题：
    • “substantial”表示“重大的、实质的”，需要一个名词与之搭配，且根据前文提到很多名人成功，可知这里说的是他们取得了重大成就。
    • “feat”意为“成就、功绩”，“substantial feats”表示“重大成就”，符合语境。
  9. 第39题：
    • “ascend to”表示“上升到、登上”，“ascend to the top of their profession”表示“登上他们职业的顶峰”。
