Question

I remember as a small child people would often ask me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
Well, it 1 being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer... As I grew older my dreams for the future 2. When, at last, I was in college, I set my 3 on becoming a preacher (牧师) like my father. 4 I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the 5 in the end and I was preaching 6 full-time for much of my adult life.
However, for many people, there is a "thief" that goes around stealing our 7. Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 8 thief is usually ourselves.
We find 9 just about reaching the top, and a "small" 10 inside says, "You’11 never make 11.""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice 12 our failure. Failure ,13 is one of the most important tools we have may teach us valuable (极宝贵的) 14 . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready 15 success.
I always tell my children that you 16 do anything that your heart desires(渴望). Remember the saying, "Nothing is 17 to a willing heart." There are 18 "overnight" successes, but with determination, they will come. Imagine 19 a life you dream of ，Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work. You’11 get the picture.
So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 20 it from you —especially yourself.

本文概述本文讲述的是如何不让自己的梦想被别人偷走，尤其是自己。阻碍我们梦想实现的最大敌人其实就是我们自己。不要怀疑自己的能力，要相信自己，只要这样就没有实现不了的愿望，没有干不成功的事情。?
1.考查动词。insist on坚持; keep on 持续; feel like想要，喜欢；start out开始，动身，启程。四者都可接动名词作宾语，但由句意可知，此处应为“起初的梦想是”，故正确答案为D。
2.考查动词。本句意思为“随着年龄的增长，我未来的梦想也发生了变化”。
3.考查名词。set one's heart on doing sth. 决心要（某物或做某事）。本句意思为“后来上大学的时候我决定要成为一名像我爸爸一样的牧师”。?
4.考查连词。由上文可知此处应为表因果关系的连词。由于目标已经确定，所以我努力学习，并为此而奋斗。?
5.考查名词。本句意为“我最终实现了我的目标”
6.考查副词。结合下文“梦想被偷走”，可知作者“几乎专职地……”
7.考查名词。由上文谈论梦想可知，此处应为“偷走我们的梦想”。
8.考查形容词。but表语义转折，告诉我们此处应为greatest，即“最大的敌人是我们自己”。
9.考查代词。find oneself发现自己处于某种状态。
10.考查名词。noise嘈杂声，喧闹声，或令人厌烦的声音；sound指一切能听到的声音；voice指说话的声音；speech指演讲、讲话。由下文And on and on the “small” voice这一语境可知此处应为voice。
11.考查代词。make it是固定搭配，意思为“获得成功”。
12.考查动词。由句意可知此处应为可“预测，预见”某种失败。
13.考查连词。非限制性定语从句，引导词作主语， 指代failure。

15.考查介词。be ready for … 为……作好准备。
