解析：
(1) |
作者“每逢”失望时，母亲总是安慰说一切都会朝最好的方向发展。 |
(2) |
如果你“坚持下去”，总有一天好事会发生。get over表示“克服(困难等)”，通常用作及物动词短语，后面要跟宾语。 |
(3) |
母亲告诉作者只有经历过失望才能“意识到”好事情的发生。此句是虚拟语气，意思是假如没有先前的失望，就不会有好的事情发生。 |
(4) |
作者根据自己的求职经历认为母亲的话是“对的”。 |
(5) |
作者已经决定在电台找一份工作，此处的radio表示“电台”，所以用in。此外，第2个空格处前面的station、第三段开头部分的in one studio以及第9个空格处后面的in a radio station都是暗示。 |
(6) |
根据第9个空格处后面的as ports announcer可知作者想当一名“体育播音员”。 |
(7) |
作者每次敲电台的门总是被对方“拒绝”。 |
(8) |
大电台不能冒险雇佣“没有经验的”人。另外，第二段的开头部分提到作者刚刚大学毕业后就去找工作，显然不具备经验。B、D两项意思基本相同，可排除。 |
(9) |
作者在外求职屡屡碰壁，“可是”回到家乡后也没有找到电台播音的工作。如选择最后一项，需去掉后面的逗号。 |
(10) |
Montgomery Ward想“招聘”一名当地运动员去管理它的体育部门。desire表示“期望；要求”，语意不恰当；agree是不及物动词，后不可直接跟宾语。 |
(11) |
where I had played high school football是表语从句，where在从句中作状语。若选择C项，需把that改为where或in which。 |
(12) |
此处just表示强调，即这份工作听起来对作者正合适。 |
(13) |
那份工作似乎是为作者量身打造的，可作者却没有被雇佣，自然会流露出“失望”的表情。此处与第一段开头部分的第二句相呼应。 |
(14) |
此处can表示“可能”，意思是如果一个人不能在电台找到一份工作，他怎么可能成为一名体育播音员呢？ |
(15) |
what作said的宾语。 |
(16) |
对方询问作者是否对足球有所了解。前两项意思基本相同，应排除。 |
(17) |
此处stand是及物动词，表示“使站立”，即对方让作者站在麦克风前。 |
(18) |
作者没有亲临现场，不是在向观众进行直播，因此是在广播一场“想象的”比赛。 |
(19) |
自此之后，作者在回家路上“时不时地”会想起母亲的话。C项表示“暂时”，不符合所给语境。 |
(20) |
解析：what引导的宾语从句是虚拟语气，意思是如果当初得到了Montgomery Ward提供的那份工作，真不知自己的人生会何去何从，言外之意是作者暗自庆幸自己当时没有被雇佣。 文章大意：作者大学毕业后在求职过程中屡屡碰壁，失望之情溢于言表。是母亲的话让他重新鼓起生活的船帆，最终达到胜利的彼岸。 |
