解题思路与命题点剖析：
1.通读完文章后，对所给备选词汇进行词性分类：
名词：E)nightmare G)acceptance N)breakthrough A)wonder
形容词：J)prominent F)native L)countless K)decent H)effective
副词：C)consistently O)automatically
动词：B)acquired I)hid D)regained M)recalled 2.根据上下文的衔接，基本语法知识，固定搭配，词义感情色彩进行答题，
47)根据基本语法常识判断，在该空前有一个冠词"a"，说明该空应填一个名词，而且进一步推断，一定为可数名词并且是单数名词，然后我们就从刚才词性归类后的名词中寻找答案。由此可以进一步缩小范围，由15选1变成了4选1。根据上下文还可以看到，上一句提到Roberto Feliz只知道一些英语单词，而该空后面一句的意思是他说我不理解任何事情，由此可以判断出47空的名词感情色彩应该为负面或者说为贬义，由此缩小了包围圈，在这4个名词中，贬带义的只有E)nightmare，因此我们锁定答案。
总结：该题目的考查重点为词性分类以及对上下文感情色彩的判断。
