Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things.There’s 6       way you could ever do it."

Finally,after a week,the boy 9       in the same paper,making no changes at all.He stated ,“ You could keep the ‘ F’ and I'll keep my dream."

     Monty then said to me,u I tell you this story because you are sitting in his 4 ,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school 10        hung on the middle of the wall over the fireplace."

[语篇解读]这篇短文通过一个故事告诉我们，不论做什么事，相信你，自己，别让别人的一句话将你击倒。因为很多梦想的实现来自于你 的坚持。

1. B 根据文章倒数第二段中 The horse trainer said, “ Look,son....” 能够判断这个年轻人是驯马师的儿子。

2. A根据上文中“go from farm to farm”可以判断男孩的求学过程也是 断断续续的.interrupt使暂停，使中断；start开始;receive收到; complete完成。

3. C下文说的是“男孩在描述梦想的细节”，与梦想意思相近的应该 是goal“目标”，男孩的目标是将来拥有一个牧马场。

4. D报告第一页上还写着“下课后来见我”。read意为“写着”。

5. D根据上文中“See me after class." 可知答案。

6. A由本段中老师说的“这对于像你这样的年轻人来说是不现实的梦想……”可知，老师认为他是没有办法实现梦想的。
