答案和讲解：

1.he was dismissed/fired/sacked
【超级单词】主要考察“解雇”的表达方法。Dismiss解职、开除；fire解雇<口>；sack解雇、洗劫。

2.and never yielded to any difficulties as well
【超级短语】yield to屈服，让步。

3.that i have no way to concentrate on my study
【超级短语】concentrate on＋sth./doing sth.全神贯注地做某事。

4.unless it"s cornered
【超级单词】unless除非，如果不；corner名词作“角落、绝路”，作为及物动词时表示“无路可走”。

5.at a speed of 12 million per year
【超级短语】at a speed of… (以……的速度)；其二是数字1200万人的表达，也就是12个百万――12 million 而million后面加上多余的复数s则是很多同学容易出现的错误。
