解析

本题考查根据语境选择恰当词汇的能力，需要结合上下文理解空格处所需词义，并注意固定搭配和语境逻辑。解题核心在于：

  1. 理解文章主旨：学习的最终目标是对社会的贡献，而非个人名利；
  2. 分析句子结构：通过语法关系（如动词+介词、名词搭配）确定空格词性；
  3. 联系上下文：结合人物事例（如华罗庚、范仲淹）推断空格处应体现“自学、爱国、逆境、利益、贡献”等关键词。

第1空

句意：他自学数学，对数学有极大兴趣。
关键点：短语 teach oneself（自学）固定搭配，空格处需填入反身代词 himself。

关键点：形容词 eager（渴望的）修饰“回国”，构成 eager to return。

第3空

句意：范仲淹在艰难的境遇中自学不息。
关键点：circumstances（境遇）与“困难”搭配，符合“逆境自学”的语境。

第4空

关键点：动词 benefit（利益）与“人民”搭配，表示“为人民谋利益”。
