Or, as a plant pathologists (病理学家) put it , "Life breaks us all, but afterwards, many of us are strongest at the broken places."
答案：
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。

文章通过叙述一棵老榆树大难不死的故事告诉我们这样一个道理：经历疼痛才能变得坚强，才能抵挡住更大的困难甚至是灾难。

31．around 下文告诉我们，树皮被铁链磨出了一个槽。

由此可以看出，这是由牛绕着树来回踱步造成的。

32．was deepened 随着岁月的流逝，磨出来的槽逐渐被加深了。

所以要用被动，另外，由于动作发生在过去，所以动词要用过去式。

33．After after+时间段，表示经过一段时间之后。

34．hanging down hang down和其逻辑主语one link是主谓关系，所以用现在分词表示主动，构成leave+宾语+现在分词。

35．the in the form of固定用法，意思是：以……的形式。

36．and 榆树受到感染，继而死去。

37．going consider后跟动名词作宾语。

38．Amazingly 副词作状语，修饰整个句子。

39．why 谁都不理解为什么只有这棵榆树依然耸立在那里。

40．what 引导一个主语从句，并在从句中作主语，所以用what。

Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed, 35 (permit) long journeys throughout the solar system. 36 that time comes, people will be taking holidays in space 37 visiting other planets, such as the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost.
Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways
to make life last 38 (long). 39 probably will find cures
