　　答案和講解：

　　1.he was dismissed/fired/sacked

　　【超級單詞】主要考察“解僱”的.表達方法。Dismiss解職、開除；fire解僱<口>；sack解僱、洗劫。

　　2.and never yielded to any difficulties as well

　　【超級短語】yield to屈服，讓步。

　　3.that i have no way to concentrate on my study

　　【超級短語】concentrate on＋sth./doing sth.全神貫注地做某事。

　　4.unless it"s cornered

　　【超級單詞】unless除非，如果不；corner名詞作“角落、絕路”，作為及物動詞時表示“無路可走”。

　　5.at a speed of 12 million per year

　　【超級短語】at a speed of… (以……的速度)；其二是數字1200萬人的表達，也就是12個百萬――12 million 而million後面加上多餘的複數s則是很多同學容易出現的錯誤。
