Answer 1

16.which
was
a
few
million
dollars
是一个which引导的非限制性定语从句，对前面的先行词factory进行补充说明。
17.
一些感观动词像watch,see,
hear等后面都可接动词的两种形式。一，接-ing,
表示看到或听到动作正在进行。二，接do,也就是动词原形，表示看到或听到动作的全过程。
例如：1.watch
his
lifetime
effort
going
up
in
smoke,这就表示看到这个动作正在进行，还同结束。
2.watch
his
lifetime
effort
go
up
in
smoke.这就表示看到这个动作的全过程，已经结束了。
根据文章的句意，这里应该用第二种，也就是go。
18.he
这个很简单，填he
作句子主语。
19.what
an
attitude!是一个感叹句。attitude作“态度”讲时，是个可数名词。例如：have
a
good
attitude.有好态度。
20.这空要填fail的名词形式failure.意思是：下面是成功人失败的更多的例子。
21.这空要填一个副词，approximate是形容词，“大约”，它的副词形式是approximately.
22.这空填was
working强调当时动作进行的过程。意思是当爱迪生在致力于发明电灯泡的过程中失败过1000多次。
23.这空填tell的被动语态。was
told意思是被告知的意思。意思是有人对年轻的贝多芬说他没有音乐开赋。也就是贝多芬被告知没有音乐天赋。
24.but“但是”表转折。与前面一句意思形成对比。尽管有人对贝多芬说他没有音乐天赋，但是他还是创作出了世上一些最好的音乐。
25.to
overcome表结果。意思是：在悲伤中你也会找到勇气和信念去克服挫折。
上面是我对各答案的分析。希望对你有所帮助。另外我想说一点，英语中有很多固定的表达法，或习惯用法，有时候做题做多了，见得表达法多了就有了语感。这点很重要：多做，多积累！
谢谢！
